Chapter 91 Shopping
Zhao Shunian also has great ambitions in his career, and his desires are satisfied in it. He does not have many emotional needs in other aspects. Zhao Xinzhi even said that he has no emotional needs.
So Zhao Shunian felt that it was a very strange thing that he had real feelings for Yu Yin. He tried every possible way to explain it, but he still couldn't explain it. Perhaps feelings are emotional and irrational, and do not require rational explanations.
No matter how much he uses rationality to package himself, he cannot erase the essence that humans are emotional animals.
Even now, he would worry about Yu Yin's random question, worried that one day she would hate him and leave him...
Yu Yin didn't want to continue this topic to test each other, so she used her feet to push sand onto Zhao Shunian's instep, stepped on him a few times, and then ran away.
Zhao Shunian chased after Yu Yin. Tired from running, she threw herself on his back and said, "I don't want to play anymore. Carry me back."
As the sun set, Zhao Shunian carried Yu Yin on his back and walked slowly on the beach.
………
Zhao Yunxin was dating Mr. Shang in Cannes. When his wife called her, she immediately let him off the plane and returned to the manor.
Seeing that Zhao Yunxin was willing to give up the rich husband she had finally caught, Ms. Jian came back here and hesitated whether to catch Zhao Jinian.
Zhao Xiqing persuaded Ms. Jian with the words, "Grandpa may be fine, but after the second brother came, he became in trouble." Her restless heart finally calmed down.
On the day Zhao Yunxin returned to the manor, Zhao Xinzhi and Zhao Yunbin finally arrived at the manor.
When everyone saw Zhao Xinzhi, they felt that he didn't seem to have any major problems. They didn't think he was testing them on purpose, but rather that they had guessed wrong again.
Ms. Jian was glad that she did not call Zhao Jinian over. If he knew that Zhao Xinzhi's trip was not delayed because of illness, he would be very angry.
After the all-clear, Ms. Jian took Zhao Xiyan and Yu Yin to Paris to relax and treat themselves. She tried to call Ms. Li, but she said she had an appointment.
Ms. Jian knew that she was planning to spend some time alone with Zhao Yunbin without Ms. Li saying it explicitly. She had an appointment the day after Zhao Yunbin came back. She was like a snake out of its hole.
Zhao Xiqing was busy with work and had no time to go shopping. She said she could just ask someone to deliver the goods, and there was no need to go to the store to buy them. Both Ms. Jian and Zhao Xiyan said that she did not understand the joy of shopping.
Ms. Jian did not call the second and third wives. Recently, she felt upset and irritated when she was in the same space with them. Zhao Jinian had a significant impact on her.
The three of them checked into the Plaza Athénée Hotel, planning to stay in Paris for one night and return to Saint-Tropez the next day.
In the suite, Yu Yin got up from his lunch break and stood on the balcony admiring the beautiful view when Zhao Xiyan came over. A little later, Ms. Jian also came.
The three of them were drinking afternoon tea and chatting on the balcony when Ms. Jian brought up the topic. She said with a gloating look, "Lian Ying has been making frequent mistakes lately. She hurriedly called Yun Xin back, but nothing happened. She made such a big noise, afraid that others would not know that she suspected Dad was gone. It's really unlucky."
Yu Yin felt that the more mistakes Mrs. Lian made, the more anxious she became. She no longer had the calm and composed attitude she had before. If she continued to be anxious, she would end up with nothing.
Ms. Jane said in hindsight that Mrs. Lian was stupid, and then she told me about Uncle Lin’s visit to the hospital in Paris. The more she talked, the happier she became. The depressed mood of the past few days finally cleared up and she saw the bright sunshine again.
Ms. Jane later said of Ms. Li, "The relationship between my eldest sister-in-law and my eldest brother is unexpectedly sweet. If my eldest brother doesn't come to the manor for a day, she doesn't even think about going on vacation. I've never seen her like this before."
Ms. Jian's intention was obvious. Yu Yin knew that she wanted to find out from him why Zhao Xinzhi and Zhao Yunbin arrived at the manor so long after them.
Yu Yin evaded the question by saying, “I don’t know anything about these things.”
She had noticed someone familiar downstairs a long time ago, but she hadn't mentioned it. Now she was using this as an excuse to change the subject, "Has Jiawen's travel variety show started filming?"
Hearing this, the other two looked down. Zhao Xiyan said, "Yes, she also said she would come to Paris. I said that when she is free, we can all play together, and she agreed. I just don't know when she will be free. I remember that my family and the Shang family used to go on vacation around this time. They have a big villa in Saint-Tropez, and we often play together."
Ms. Jian put down her coffee. "Her grandfather gave the villa to her fourth uncle. Her family and her fourth uncle are not on the same side. Even if she has time to take a vacation, she can't live in the villa like before."
Yu Yin thought for a moment and asked, "Which side is her family on?"
"On my uncle's side, Jiawen was close to his children. Xiyan knew her when she was little. It was during vacation when her aunt brought her and a few other children to visit our manor. At that time, the Shang family was divided into two factions."
Zhao Xiyan suddenly realized: "So this is how Jiawen and I met. Actually, I don't remember much, I just know that we played together when we were very young."
"You're only a few years old, so it's normal that you don't remember. A big family means a big business. After her grandfather passed away, the whole family broke up and became smaller, and Fengshang Group went downhill..." Ms. Jian sighed halfway, then remembered that Yu Yin was still there. The eldest brother and his wife must want to split the family business, as they would benefit the most. Ms. Jian changed the subject and continued to talk about Shang Jiawen, "I think Jiawen's life as a young lady must have been severely reduced."
Zhao Xiyan asked: "Mommy, how did you know?"
Ms. Jian sees this kind of thing with a keen eye. "If it were the past, she would have had a proper plan to enter the entertainment industry. Now she's taking an unconventional path, figuring it out on her own. Maybe her cousin will support her and prevent her from being bullied. If she does more, it means she'll be given resources."
After hearing what Ms. Jian said, Yu Yin couldn't help but look at Shang Jiawen, as if thinking about something.
After a brief chat, the three of them started shopping.
Avenue Montaigne, where the hotel is located, is a famous luxury destination, home to many large flagship stores and headquarters of luxury brands. The hotel's butlers made arrangements for them: when they went shopping, the store would be completely closed, meaning the entire store would be dedicated to just the three of them. They were spared the risk of quarrels and arguments arising from falling for the same item as others.
While Yu Yin was shopping, she thought of Zhao Shunian, so she returned the favor by picking out some things for him, such as ties and cufflinks, which are essential for daily use. She picked out two sets of casual clothes for him, and she remembered his size.
She didn't buy him a suit or shirt, as this tailor-made one would be more suitable.
When going shopping in Place Vendôme, Yu Yin bought a watch for Zhao Shunian in the store while buying jewelry. He only wears three kinds of jewelry: a watch, a ring, and cufflinks. Although wool comes from sheep, she also spent a lot of time to select them. After all, this is her intention.
