"Two ways to eat it?" Chen Jing didn't understand her meaning for a moment, and looked at her daughter with a slight frown.

Zhu Qianying nodded. "These are cold, and they taste crispy and cool, which is a little different from when they're hot, but they're just as delicious. Mom, you can try putting these two dishes in the refrigerator. When they come back later, you can let them try them and give you their feedback."

Chen Jing then picked up her chopsticks and ate some of the cold food, and then took a bite of the dish that had just been served and was still steaming hot.

Then, she had to agree with her daughter, "Hmm, that's right, you're quite right."

So, I packed the two cold dishes into a food storage container and put them in the refrigerator.

"Mom, you're really talented. How did you come up with the idea of ​​using soy milk as a soup base for this dish? The dish has absorbed the aroma of the soybeans, which is really wonderful. It has a very refreshing and fresh taste."

Chen Jing then recounted to her daughter how she had suddenly had a flash of inspiration while eating breakfast.

Of course, Chen Jing didn't mention what the proprietress said when she went back to buy soy milk and fried dough sticks later.

Because I felt those were unimportant things, and it was better not to mention them.

"Mom, it seems that your cooking and my jewelry design are quite similar."

Chen Jing didn't quite understand the commonalities that Zhu Qianying was implying, nor did she investigate them further.

Watching her mother's busy figure, Zhu Qianying finally felt a weight lifted from her heart.

Regarding Uncle Dong's matter, Zhu Qianying thought her mother's mood would be low for a few days, but now it seems that her mother can adjust herself well, and there is no need to worry too much about her.

"Ying'er, I want to go to your uncle's place again this afternoon."

Chen Jing, with her back to Zhu Qianying, suddenly spoke.

As Chen Jing saw Bai Xiangdong off, she suddenly wondered if she would be sad if Bai Xiangdong never came back.

The answer is yes.

Then, she thought of her older brother and her parents, whose situation was still unknown.

To avoid any regrets, she had to quickly win her older brother's forgiveness.

Zhu Qianying didn't expect her mother to regain her courage so quickly. "Um, do you want me to go with you?"

"Forget it, I'll go first. If your uncle beats me and you see it, it'll be embarrassing. After all, I'm still your mother!"

She's even learned to make jokes now; it seems she's managing her mood and mental state quite well.

The heavy weight on Zhu Qianying's heart was finally lifted.

"Okay, I'll go home and prepare some band-aids and hemostatic medicine. Should I invite Du Ting over too?"

Chen Jing turned and glared at her, "Hey, is she even your biological daughter?"

Zhu Qianying raised an eyebrow. "That's a question for you!"

The mother and daughter were in good spirits, chatting and laughing as they busied themselves in the kitchen. It seemed that neither of them had taken the afternoon's visit to their uncle to heart.

Zhu Qianying didn't stay at the restaurant for long because she received a call from Cheng Ye, asking her to go to the main store to take a look. It seemed there was some disagreement about the counter construction, and Cheng Ye wanted her to go and check it out.

Zhu Qianying rushed over immediately and negotiated with the construction workers. Finally, both parties reached a consensus, and the work continued smoothly.

On her way back to the Yan family, Zhu Qianying called Cheng Ye to report the results of the negotiations. Cheng Ye, who was in the United States, politely said, "Thank you for your help!"

After Zhu Qianying jokingly called him a "hypocrite," Cheng Ye continued, "By the way, Mr. Lei and Mrs. Lei came to the store to buy jewelry yesterday and asked when you would be back. I told them that you probably wouldn't be back for a long time, and they seemed quite disappointed. They said they wanted you to design jewelry for them. See when you have time and contact them."

Zhu Qianying then realized that she had been so busy dealing with the changes here that she had completely forgotten about her son's godparents.

"Okay, I got it!"

When Yan Shao returned home in the evening, Zhu Qianying took his coat and bag from him and told him about it while he bent down to change his shoes.

Zhu Qianying specifically brought this up with Young Master Yan to confirm that Young Master Yan currently has no significant financial ties with Mr. and Mrs. Lei.

According to Cheng Ye, the jewelry set that Mr. and Mrs. Lei asked Zhu Qianying to design was quite expensive, and it was said that some of the gemstones were provided by Mrs. Lei herself.

The Yan family has too much influence that can be used by others. Zhu Qianying doesn't want to receive benefits from others without her knowledge, only to have Young Master Yan repay her in other ways.

"It's alright, just handle it as a business. The couple may not have been entirely clean in the past, but they are now legitimate business people and have a normal business relationship with Yanhuang. The matter she asked you to ask is purely a personal issue and nothing to worry about."

After receiving confirmation from Young Master Yan, Zhu Qianying hung up his clothes and bag before turning back upstairs to contact the Lei couple.

Yan Bo, who was sitting in the living room, heard their conversation clearly. After Yan Shao returned from washing his face, Yan Bo said...

"Xiao Han, it seems that Ying'er knows a lot about our family's situation, and she's very careful."

"Yes, because of our special background, she is usually very careful in this regard. Last time, the owner of the processing plant, Mr. Qian, tried to use the product rebates from the jewelry store as bait to ask her to make a connection with my uncle, but she refused outright."

Yan Bo pondered for a moment, "Hmm, it's good to be more careful! At first, I was worried that she would act recklessly, but now it seems that I was overthinking it."

Unlike Old Madam Yan's "love at first sight" in falling for Zhu Qianying at first glance, Yan Bo, although he also liked Zhu Qianying's personality, ultimately felt that her carefree and optimistic personality might be a problem.

At that time, he thought she was lively but lacked composure and didn't know how to handle social situations.

In retrospect, it's clear that he misjudged her.

She wasn't being reckless at all; her meticulousness was almost on par with her son's. Compared to his wife, she was far more cautious.

However, his wife was also smart. Knowing that she knew nothing about this area, she simply never touched it. She never got involved in anything related to Lao Yan's family and resolutely drew a line.

To outsiders, everyone thought that this daughter-in-law, who came from a wealthy family, had an extremely strained relationship with the Yan family.

But in reality, it was Old Madam Yan who deliberately created that appearance to prevent outsiders from accusing the Yan family of colluding with the CCP.

"Dad, don't worry about that. She is very careful in her actions and weighs right and wrong very carefully. Besides, family and relatives take up a lot of her heart. She would not harm her family for other gains."

It was only after the incident with Boss Qian, and recalling how she had called him after her uncle had chatted with her for a few extra minutes, that Yan Shao fully understood the reason for her cautiousness.
