Madam Yan even changed her way of addressing him, which frightened Zhu Zhizhou so much that his face turned pale.
Normally, he wouldn't dare to stop people like Young Master Yan and Madam Yan.
But if he doesn't stop it now, he might lose his position as father-in-law.
She ran up to Mr. and Mrs. Yan, "Mr. Yan, Mrs. Yan... this... Young Master Yan and Ying'er haven't discussed this matter yet..."
Before Young Master Yan entered, Old Master Yan and Old Madam Yan were chatting happily with him. But within ten minutes of Young Master Yan entering, the Yan couple's attitude changed completely.
Madam Yan tilted her head slightly and smiled at him. "Mr. Zhu, how should we discuss this? We were wrong yesterday; some things were delayed. But now, Miss Wu is missing. Perhaps it's because Miss Wu or you, Mr. Zhu, are dissatisfied with my son?"
Madam Yan's previous politeness and courtesy were the proper manners one should show to one's future in-laws.
Now, she showed absolutely no mercy to the fat man in front of her, whom she could no longer feel any affection for.
"Madam Yan, it's not like that..."
Zhu Zhizhou was so anxious that his face turned red. The Zhu family patriarch, who was usually a formidable figure in front of others, couldn't put on any airs in front of Madam Yan.
Madam Yan waved her hand, indicating that he didn't need to explain anymore. "Alright, let's leave it at that. I won't interfere anymore. My son can do whatever he wants."
After speaking, Madam Yan took Mr. Yan's arm and left the Zhu family.
Meanwhile, Young Master Yan, seething with anger, got into the car. The driver, though puzzled, dared not ask any questions. "Sir, are we going home?"
"Um!"
On the way, Yan Shao became increasingly annoyed.
At this moment, besides the bamboo-covered isle, he also sees the faint shadows of bamboo.
He clearly told her to stay home and wait for his call, but after only one night, she has disappeared without a trace.
Moreover, they left without a word.
Could it be that the girl has regretted it?
Upon realizing this possibility, Yan Shao's face suddenly darkened.
Throughout his life, even in his interactions with his parents, he has only ever gone back on his word.
But right now, this girl Zhu Qianying dares to dump him so blatantly. Does she not take him seriously at all, or what?
After what happened at the Zhu family, where is he going to put his face now?
The more Yan Shao thought about it, the more he couldn't swallow his anger.
He took out his phone, thinking of sending someone to check on Zhu Qianying's whereabouts. Before he could unlock the phone, the words Zhu Qianying had said after they climbed out of the canyon flashed through his mind.
"Anyway, I don't care, now I'm your wife!"
"A real man should have the guts to marry someone he's chosen!"
"That's right, you absolutely have to marry me!"
"Reason? You chose a wife, and I ran for it. Now that the results are in, it's crystal clear that it was a matter of mutual consent. Do we need a reason?"
"Ha, yes, you're so handsome, of course I can't wait to marry you!"
...
That's not right!
Judging from her words, she doesn't seem unwilling to marry him at all!
So why did she leave without saying a word?
Or perhaps, her departure was out of necessity, or perhaps she was forced to leave by those older women.
Yan Shao leaned back in his chair, lost in thought, when the phone in his hand vibrated slightly.
Yan Shao unlocked his phone and discovered an unread message with a phone number that seemed somewhat familiar.
And the time it was received was actually 6 a.m.?
Yan Shao clicked on the message with a puzzled look.
"Young Master Yan, I'm sorry, I have some urgent business to attend to and need to leave for a while, about ten to fifteen days. Please apologize to Mr. and Mrs. Yan for me. I've already sent the gifts to the two elders by courier, and they should receive them today! by Zhu Qianying."
Yan Shao, who rarely sends messages due to his lack of patience, actually read the entire message word for word, and felt inexplicably relieved.
Although he was still angry about the girl's sudden departure, this anger was completely different from his earlier annoyance.
Half an hour later, Young Master Yan and the two elders of the Yan family returned to the Yan family home one after the other.
As soon as they entered, Yan Shao asked Uncle Hai, who came to greet them and took the clothes and bags from their hands, "Did you receive any packages today?"
Speaking of which, whether it's Young Master Yan or the Yan family, express delivery is a rare and unusual commodity.
Firstly, the Yan family of three eats, wears, and uses only custom-made, limited-edition items. Products from Taobao are not even worthy of the attention of Young Master Yan and his parents, let alone Uncle Hai.
Secondly, if someone really wanted to send a gift, they would personally bring the gift to the door to show respect and sincerity. Who would send it by express delivery?
"Young Master, a small box was indeed delivered by courier this afternoon. I thought it was a mistake and just threw it in the storeroom!"
Given the Yan family's background, even Uncle Hai wouldn't be interested in gifts of dubious origin, so his answer was perfectly natural.
He didn't realize that he almost threw away the gift that the future young mistress had given to the master and mistress.
"Okay, go and get that package."
Young Master Yan turned around and took Old Madam Yan's other arm, and the three of them entered the living room together.
The servants had already brought the tea. Old Madam Yan took the tea, but her eyes were carefully observing her son's expression.
Yan Shao naturally understood his mother's thoughts, and took out his phone to hand it to her.
"That girl, Zhu Qianying, sent me a message before she left, but I didn't notice!"
Madam Yan took the phone with some skepticism, looked at the message content, and then at the delivery time, which clearly indicated six o'clock in the morning.
"So, this isn't her fault, it was your own negligence?"
Yan Shao refused to admit it was his negligence. "How can I not blame her? I made it very clear to her that she should stay home and wait for me to come and propose marriage! What kind of behavior is it for her to suddenly disappear for a while? Does she even respect me?"
Old Madam Yan tapped his head, "Son, you need to change your temper! Otherwise, who can stand you?"
Although Madam Yan had not yet met Zhu Qianying, a girl who could pass her son's five extremely strict selection criteria must be of excellent quality in all aspects.
Adding to what she had seen and heard at the Zhu family's house, Old Madam Yan already felt both goodwill and pity towards this complete stranger, Zhu Qianying.
"Whether you can bear it or not, you still have to bear it!" Young Master Yan retorted confidently.
Just as Madam Yan was about to say something more, Uncle Hai came running over, carrying a small box in his hands.
"Master and Madam, please forgive my failing eyesight; I didn't see clearly that this was sent to you by the Fifth Miss of the Zhu family."
When Madam Yan took the box, she saw that the recipient's section on the delivery slip clearly stated, "To be opened by Mr. Yan and Madam Yan."
The sender's name was listed as "Bamboo Shadow".
