Zhu Zhizhou originally thought that his daughter would not return until at least tomorrow, but to his surprise, she returned after only half a day. He was somewhat worried.
"Dad, he didn't say!"
Zhu Qianying had somehow figured things out and was very determined, but she had no intention of making her father suffer.
Anyway, over the years, I've never seen him worry about me or his sister. It's good to let him worry about it now.
Zhu Zhizhou's face, which had initially held a hint of anticipation, quickly turned to disappointment upon hearing his daughter's answer, his chubby face contorting with disappointment.
Disappointed as he was, he was still lucky compared to other fathers. Who else has a daughter that Young Master Yan cherishes so much? He even sent a driver to pick her up early in the morning just so she could try a few snacks?
All I can say is that Zhu Zhizhou, as her father, thought Zhu Qianying was still a child with the intelligence of a three-year-old. Whatever her father asked, she would honestly answer.
"So... what did he say?"
At this point, things like company stock prices and branch office locations are no longer important to Zhu Zhizhou. The most important thing is the marriage of their daughter, Zhu Qianying, to Young Master Yan.
Zhu Qianying held the cup and slowly sipped her milk. Unlike Yan Shao, milk was Zhu Qianying's favorite food. While others usually only drank milk at breakfast, she drank half a cup of hot milk before almost every meal.
She slowly finished her milk before looking up at her father. "Dad, he just ate with me and asked me how the snacks tasted. He didn't say anything else."
Zhu Qianying can switch freely between sharp-tongued and naive modes without any difficulty, and ironically, her father actually believes the nonsense she makes up.
"I see... Did he give you his phone number so you can contact him anytime if you need anything?" Despite his disappointment, Takeshiki still held onto a sliver of hope.
"Yes, he is... but he's probably very busy. I wouldn't dare to contact him unless it's absolutely necessary!"
If Yan Shao were here, he would surely marvel at her acting skills, saying they were worthy of a Best Actress award.
Zhu Zhizhou seemed to be convinced by his daughter, "That's true, Young Master Yan probably wouldn't like a clingy girl."
Zhu Qianying didn't say anything more, picked up her chopsticks and bowl, and started eating.
Auntie and Third Auntie wanted to ridicule Zhu Qianying, but ended up humiliating themselves by being retorted by Zhu Qianying. They were still spitting out their rice with grunts and occasionally looked up to glare at Chen Jing.
Chen Jing, who was used to being the one to be bullied, knew that her daughter had offended them, and she lowered her head timidly, feeling guilty.
Only the second aunt, Wei Ruoman, was used to dealing with all kinds of guests in the hotel and was always tactful. After pouring tea and serving buns to the first and third aunts, she turned to Zhu Qianying with a smile and said...
“Ying’er, your third aunt just bought that car not long ago. I usually go to and from get off work with your dad, so I don’t have much of a chance to drive it. You’ve been going in and out a lot lately, and it’s not good to always have Young Master Yan send someone to pick you up. Why don’t you drive my car to get around?”
It must be said that Wei Ruoman is much smarter than the first wife Zhu Shaofen and the third wife Fang Caiping.
Knowing that suppressing or ridiculing Zhu Qianying at this point would be tantamount to suicide, Wei Ruoman chose to curry favor with and win over Zhu Qianying before she rose to prominence.
Little did she know that Zhu Qianying, who had lived in this family for twenty years, had long been disheartened by this large family. In the past, she had no power to fight against this group of people and could only choose to endure it.
Now that she had the capital, she became completely unyielding.
"Thank you, Second Aunt. You can keep the car. As a young lady, I should maintain some decorum. If he sends someone to pick me up, I'll go. If he doesn't, am I supposed to just walk right into his doorstep?"
Zhu Qianying's words were like a slap in the face to her half-sisters, the sound of the slaps echoing loudly.
Because her pampered older sisters often did this kind of eager, self-serving behavior!
Moreover, when she was so poor she couldn't even afford Xiaoyu's tuition, this stepmother wasn't this kind-hearted. Now that she's gotten involved with Young Master Yan, she's excitedly giving her a new car worth over a million. Her scheming isn't too obvious!
Hearing Wei Ruoman's conversation with her daughter, Zhu Zhizhou looked at Zhu Qianying with some surprise, "Ying'er, you have a driver's license?"
Zhu Qianying rolled her eyes inwardly: Luckily you asked about my driver's license, I thought you were asking if I was over eighteen.
While inwardly despising him, she still wore a slight smile and replied casually, "Yes, I've been taking it for two years."
All of her "brothers" and "sisters" were able to get a car from their father after they turned eighteen and got their driver's licenses.
It's just that she was naive. Right after her eighteenth birthday, she excitedly signed up for a driver's license test. On the day she got her license, just like today, the whole family was having dinner together. She waved her license around and said to her father, "Dad, I got my driver's license."
Before her father could respond, the aunt put a piece of meat on his plate, then leaned over and said something to him. And then, nothing more happened!
"You don't have a car?" Zhu Zhizhou was surprised again. Today, he seemed to be surprised by Zhu Qianying's matter again and again.
"Dad, of course I have a car, but it's a bicycle!" Zhu Qianying replied nonchalantly.
Zhu Zhizhou's gaze then turned to the direction of Aunt Zhu Shaofen.
Zhu Shaofen pretended to be unaware and kept her head down, eating her meal.
"Shaofen, I remember saying that every child who gets their driver's license can apply to buy a car from you." Today, Zhu Zhizhou seemed to have a sudden change of heart or wanted to make amends, but he was particularly concerned about Zhu Qianying's matter.
But Zhu Qianying was not moved at all by his concern; on the contrary, she felt nauseous and wanted to vomit!
She held the bowl, but didn't eat the rice. Instead, she followed her father's gaze and looked at Zhu Shaofen.
Zhu Shaofen's expression had just returned to normal, but it changed again. She looked at Zhu Zhizhou, then at Zhu Qianying, "Master, you did mention it, but Ying'er didn't mention it to me!"
Zhu Qianying was truly impressed by this couple; their Tai Chi skills were superb, and their football skills were also quite impressive!
After speaking to Zhu Zhizhou, Zhu Shaofen turned to scold Zhu Qianying, "Ying'er, why didn't you tell me you got your driver's license? What kind of car do you want to buy? I'll have someone drive it over tomorrow."
Zhu Qianying didn't look at her, but said to Zhu Zhizhou, "Dad, how about this, I'll just pay whatever price my eldest and second brothers drive. Tomorrow I'll have Young Master Yan come with me to look at cars. With him watching over me, I won't be afraid to drive back as a novice!"
Zhu Qianying isn't stupid. If she lets Zhu Shaofen pick out a car for her, she's absolutely willing to cut 500,000 out of the million to line her own pocket. She'll use Yan Shao as a cover, and her father probably won't refuse.
So, she decided to get the money first and pay Xiaoyu's tuition. Compared to money, the car wasn't that important to her!
