At noon, Zhu Qianying accompanied her mother to the hospital to visit Zhu Zhizhou.
To be honest, she really didn't want to go.
However, Mom seemed very worried about Dad. Ever since she learned about his injury last night, she had been in a daze and tossed and turned on the bed next to her all night, which kept Zhu Qianying up all night with her.
Seeing her mother's pathetic state, Zhu Qianying sighed and could only accompany her to the hospital.
If a truly unforgettable relationship is like my mother's relationship with my father, where they completely lose themselves and even their dignity as human beings.
She would rather never have to touch such a terrible thing in her entire life.
Zhu Qianying was a very cautious person. Her father had openly provoked Ji Huan but had suffered a major setback, not only gaining nothing but also returning with injuries. If she and her mother went there, they might become the targets of his anger.
Just to be on the safe side, Zhu Qianying mustered up the courage to call Uncle Hai. More than being mocked by Young Master Yan, she was concerned about her mother's safety.
"Uncle Hai, my dad is injured, and my mom and I want to visit him in the hospital, but I'm worried that my older brother might do something to my mom. Could you please arrange a personal driver for me?"
Zhu Qianying knew that the Yan family's drivers actually also served as bodyguards.
Uncle Hai was very straightforward. He directly asked Zhu Qianying for her current address and room number, saying he would come to pick them up in about half an hour.
Half an hour later, Zhu Qianying received a call from the front desk saying that the Yan family's driver was already waiting in front of the gate.
Zhu Qianying didn't think much of it and accompanied her mother downstairs. The driver was waiting at the front desk. Surprisingly, it wasn't the Zhang brother who usually picked her up and dropped her off, but Yan Shao's personal driver.
"Brother Chen, thank you for your help."
Zhu Qianying certainly wouldn't gossip enough to ask Brother Chen why he was the one to pick her up. After all, this was a matter for the Yan family, and it had nothing to do with her.
Brother Chen smiled at them and said, "Mrs. Zhu, Miss Wu, the car is outside."
Zhu Qianying walked to the car and habitually opened the back door.
What came into view was a pair of long legs. Zhu Qianying was startled and bent down to meet Yan Shao's dark eyes.
"Young Master Yan?!"
Even someone as quick-witted as Zhu Qianying couldn't hide her astonishment for a moment. Surprisingly, she stood there with her mouth agape, unable to find any suitable words.
Yan Shao glanced at her indifferently, then quickly turned his gaze to the person next to her.
"Aunt Jing!" Then, Zhu Qianying actually saw a smile on Yan Shao's face.
Although it was just an overly polite smile, it was still quite rare.
Zhu Qianying looked as if she had seen a ghost, and subconsciously shrank back.
Yan Shao glanced at her and said, "Aren't you coming in? Do you want your mother to stay outside the car forever?" As he spoke, he moved closer to the car window, trying to make more room for her.
Yan Shao's thoughtfulness and understanding almost shocked Zhu Qianying to death.
Seeing that she was still standing still, Yan Shao moved closer again, raised an eyebrow at her, and asked, "Are you stupid?"
A long arm reached out, grabbed her arm, and forcefully pulled her into the car.
Startled and pulled into the car, Zhu Qianying broke out in a cold sweat. Before she could compose herself, she glared at him and said, "Young Master Yan, please, can't you be a little gentler?"
A smile appeared in Yan Shao's eyes, as if Zhu Qianying, who was so expressive, could please him.
"How can I be gentle? Hmm?"
Zhu Qianying glared at him again, not wanting to pay any more attention to this man with a split personality. She turned to her mother, who was still standing outside the car, and waved, "Mom, get in the car."
Chen Jing had met Yan Shao twice, and on both occasions, this future son-in-law had completely ignored her. Just now, hearing him address her politely as "Aunt Jing" made her feel flattered and unreal, as if she were in a dream.
She didn't come to her senses until her daughter called her, and she crept into the car.
Yan Shao seemed to be in a really good mood today. After Chen Jing sat down and closed the car door, his gaze passed over Zhu Qianying and looked at Chen Jing.
"Aunt Jing, have you had lunch yet?"
His amiable demeanor was indeed that of a future son-in-law, but seeing it on the dignified Young Master Yan made Zhu Qianying feel horrified.
Chen Jing probably felt the same way as Zhu Qianying, and responded with a evasive look, "I...I've already eaten, thank you for your concern."
Zhu Qianying couldn't understand what was wrong with him today; he seemed to be in such a good mood, as if he had stumbled upon a gold mine.
Mingming, just yesterday, had a really sour face! Like she owed him hundreds of millions!
When faced with something she doesn't understand, Zhu Qianying usually won't stubbornly try to find out the truth.
She was poor, and the most valuable thing she had was her life, so she tried her best not to do anything that might shorten her lifespan.
Anyway, ever since she met Yan Shao, he has always been in this mode of intermittently switching between gentle, indifferent, and nasty personalities.
She had made various guesses and deductions in secret, but she still couldn't figure out the reason for his personality change. The only thing she could do was to remain unchanged and deal with whatever mode he switched to.
"Your sister's boyfriend is Ji Huan from the Ji family?" Young Master Yan suddenly asked.
Zhu Qianying felt that he was actually asking a question he already knew the answer to, but she still nodded, "Mm..."
She thought that this man would mock her again, just like he always had, saying that Xiaoyu had good taste in finding a good family.
Unexpectedly, Yan Shao said, "I have a lot of contact with his brother, but this is the first time I've met him."
Zhu Qianying rolled her eyes inwardly, wanting to ask, "So, are you now trying to repent to Ji Huan for being too cold to him yesterday?"
"Really? Pretty handsome, right?" But what came out of my mouth was this.
She's not stupid; how could she possibly tell the whole truth to someone like Young Master Yan?
"As handsome as me?" Yan Shao's words didn't sound like a joke.
Zhu Qianying glanced at him dismissively for a moment, "Heh, of course you're handsome! Ji Huan is still just a little kid!"
"Not bad taste!" Yan Shao's words carried a hint of pride, clearly indicating that he took Zhu Qianying's evaluation of Ji Huan as derogatory.
But for Zhu Qianying, "little brat" wasn't a derogatory term, but rather a compliment. In her view, Ji Huan's personality was sometimes really like a child's, endearingly straightforward.
Unlike Yan Shao, who was unpredictable and unfathomable, she could only treat him as a person with a split personality.
Of course, she knew he wasn't a schizophrenic. A schizophrenic couldn't possibly manage the Yan and Tong families' businesses so well, and with such thriving performance.
It's just that I don't understand him well enough, so I don't understand why his emotions changed so abruptly.
But relationships between people are reciprocal.
How easy is it for someone like her and him, whose relationship is based on transactions, to understand each other?
