Yan Shao's tone was clearly tinged with anger. After speaking in an unfriendly tone, he hung up the phone.
Having anticipated this outcome, Qin Xiu smiled wryly as he looked at the phone screen, which showed a call duration of less than a minute.
He thought to himself, "You really think highly of me, sir!"
This Miss Zhu is no ordinary woman, don't you know that better than anyone else?
What ordinary woman could climb back up the steep cliff to the top of the valley using only ordinary climbing tools?
What ordinary woman would dare to threaten you with such confidence and shamelessness that you absolutely must marry her?
For an ordinary woman, who would dare to question your decision in the slightest?
Having been caught up with these two people, Qin Xiu had no choice but to accept his bad luck. He brooded in a dark corner for a while, but in desperation, he decided to turn around and try to persuade Zhu Qianying.
Compared to his master, he still felt that Zhu Qianying was easier to talk to.
However, he overestimated himself and underestimated Zhu Qianying. No matter how persuasive he was, Zhu Qianying still insisted on her original decision.
I can go, but Young Master Yan must come along!
She has to go by herself? No way!
In the end, Qin Xiu had no choice but to risk being punished and demoted by Young Master Yan, and brought Zhu Qianying to the door of Young Master Yan's study.
In just two days, he had already decided that he should get less involved in the affairs between Zhu Qianying and his master.
He could think about it, but as Yan Shao's special assistant, he wouldn't get involved in their affairs unless he quit.
"Speak!" came Yan Shao's displeased voice after the knocking.
"Master, Miss Zhu wishes to see you!" Qin Xiu dared not set foot in the study without permission.
"I'm busy!"
This gentleman's stubbornness is no less than that of Zhu Qianying, or perhaps even surpasses it.
Qin Xiu could only look awkwardly at Zhu Qianying beside him, "Miss Zhu, what do you think..."
Most people would back down when faced with this situation.
But Zhu Qianying really can't be classified as an ordinary person.
After hearing Qin Xiu's explanation, she didn't bother to say anything more. She simply raised her hand and knocked on the door three times. "Young Master Yan, it's me!"
"Get out!" With a low growl, something heavy seemed to slam against the door from inside the house, making a loud "bang"!
Zhu Qianying was startled and instinctively took two steps back.
It took her a while to realize that the man inside had lost his temper and was smashing things. So, this man wanted revenge for what happened that morning?
Looking up at her pale-faced assistant beside her, Zhu Qianying quickly recovered and patted his shoulder to comfort him, "Mr. Qin, I'm sorry to have dragged you into this! Don't worry, this is my problem, it has nothing to do with you."
Qin Xiu glanced at her gratefully. Putting aside whether Young Master Yan would really not blame him, his admiration and praise were simply for her sense of responsibility and courage in taking charge of her own actions.
Qin Xiu felt a pang of sympathy and stepped forward to knock on the door. "Maybe I should talk to him again?"
Zhu Qianying grabbed him, "Mr. Qin, there's no need! I'll negotiate this with him myself!"
As long as she and Young Master Yan have a future together, she will inevitably have to deal with Young Master Yan frequently, and she can't keep using Qin Xiu as her shield forever.
Although she is not a particularly capable person, she is not the type to hide behind others and become a deserter when things go wrong, or to always rely on others to reap the benefits without contributing anything in return.
Qin Xiu's eyes were filled with complex emotions. "Miss Zhu..." He had been Yan Shao's special assistant for ten years, and he himself had lost count of how many people he had shielded from arrows. Yet, those who relied on his protection had never voluntarily offered to take on everything.
Only Zhu Qianying, whom she had only met twice, bravely took responsibility for her mistakes.
Zhu Qianying held out her hand to him, "Can I borrow your phone for a moment?"
Qin Xiu's feelings for Zhu Qianying were growing rapidly. When she asked for her phone, he obediently took it out, unlocked it, and placed it in her palm.
"What's Yan Shao's phone number?" Zhu Qianying asked.
"Is shortcut 2... Miss Zhu, or would it be better to send a message?"
Qin Xiu's rationality told him that since his master didn't have time or want to see her, he should take her away and then find a way to coax her to the airport to pick him up.
While he was rational, deep down he had already been persuaded by Zhu Qianying that it was really inappropriate for his master to let her go to the airport alone to pick up the two elders.
Surprisingly, he chose to disobey Young Master Yan's orders and instead support Zhu Qianying.
Compared to sending messages, Zhu Qianying prefers direct dialogue and communication. She pressed the shortcut key 2, and the phone rang for a long time before being answered.
Before Zhu Qianying could speak, a man's cold voice came through the receiver, "Qin Xiu, do you want to die?"
Zhu Qianying took a deep breath, trying to make her tone sound gentle.
"Young Master Yan, it's me! Don't hang up yet. It's not that I don't want to pick up your parents, it's just that the timing isn't right. How about you have Uncle Hai pick them up first, and I'll bring gifts and pay them a visit tonight, okay?"
The stronger a man is, the less he can stand others speaking softly and gently. This is because bullying the weak not only fails to bring satisfaction to the strong, but also easily invites ridicule and incurs the stigma of bullying the weak.
Based on her intuition, although Yan Shao had a bad temper, he was still quite concerned about his reputation as long as people didn't cross his bottom line.
Zhu Qianying's gamble paid off!
After listening to her soft and gentle explanation, Yan Shao asked in a deep voice, "Is the timing wrong?" Although his tone was still full of anger, at least he was willing to talk to her.
Zhu Qianying leaned slowly against the railing in front of the door. "Yes! Young Master Yan, think about it. Your parents are elders after all. Although marriage is a matter of personal freedom now, as their son, you should at least inform them about such an important matter as your marriage. This is the least you can do to respect them. After you tell them, I will visit them in person. Wouldn't that be better?"
Qin Xiu, standing to the side, was filled with admiration upon hearing Zhu Qianying's words, which were completely different from her previous ones but conveyed the same meaning.
He knew his master's temper well, and therefore he was very clear that if he repeated what she had just said to Young Master Yan verbatim, it would probably only provoke even greater resentment from Young Master Yan.
He spent a considerable amount of time and money to gradually figure out these insights about his own father.
This Zhu Qianying, having only met Young Master Yan twice, was already adept at handling her master's strange and fussy temperament.
Sure enough, any woman who catches the eye of her master is no ordinary woman.
In just two days, he had witnessed Zhu Qianying's various sides, from her roguishness to her stubbornness. However, he never expected her to be so gentle and considerate as she was now.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that this Zhu Qianying was the same woman who had threatened and provoked his master yesterday.
