In other words, it seems that Yi Wei is the biggest beneficiary of what has happened during this period, but the events in the United States, including the sordid thing of trying to "force himself on" him tonight, were basically all planned by Zhu Junwei.
You tell me, how could Young Master Yan possibly forgive him?
Zhu Qianying shook her head, "I don't know!"
Before this, Zhu Qianying didn't even have a liking or dislike for this third brother. After all, the two didn't have many opportunities to interact, and apart from the interests of the large family, there was no personal grudge between them.
But now that he has done this, it means that he is issuing a challenge to her on behalf of the Zhu family.
Answer or not answer?
That's the problem she needs to consider now. As for Yi Wei, Zhu Qianying felt that was Yan Shao's business and it wasn't her place to think about it.
"Okay, I'll see what I can do!"
As for how to deal with Zhu Junwei, Yan Shao had already made up his mind. Since Zhu Qianying said she would not interfere, then he would do as originally planned.
Zhu Qianying responded again, then leaned her head back in her chair, lost in thought. Yan Shao himself had been busy arranging all these things these past few nights, and had indeed drunk quite a bit of alcohol earlier to confuse Zhu Junwei. Now that he had quieted down, weariness and languor crept over him.
With the matter that had been weighing on his mind finally resolved, Yan Shao relaxed completely. With Zhu Qianying sitting next to him, his nerves were more relaxed than ever before.
I only intended to take a short nap, but I fell asleep after closing my eyes.
The driver drove the car to the bottom of Zhu Qianying's apartment building. Seeing that Yan Shao was sleeping soundly, Zhu Qianying thanked the driver softly, got out of the car, and gently closed the car door.
"Mom, why aren't you asleep yet?"
Zhu Qianying unlocked the door and was surprised to find her mother, who always went to bed early and got up early, still sitting in the living room watching TV.
Chen Jing looked over and said, "I got up to go to the bathroom and saw the note you left. I was a little worried."
In the note left by Zhu Qianying, she only said that she was going out to sit with a friend, but did not say who she was with. Chen Jing, as a mother, assumed that her daughter had gone on a date with Yan Shao.
"Mom, I'm a grown adult, what's there to worry about?"
Zhu Qianying changed her shoes, washed her face, poured herself a glass of warm water, and sat down next to Chen Jing.
"I thought you and Young Master Yan went out."
Chen Jing was very direct; she was now extremely wary of Yan Shao, probably at the same level of vigilance as when guarding against wolves, thieves, or petty thieves.
"I went out with Qin Xiuke and the others, not alone with him." That's not entirely wrong.
As for Zhu Junwei's matter, Zhu Qianying did not plan to tell her mother.
However, just because she doesn't say anything doesn't mean she can keep it from her mother.
The next day, Zhu Qianying was still asleep when she was woken up by a series of urgent knocks on the door.
I got up and opened the door, and saw my mother looking panicked. "Ying'er, something terrible has happened!"
Zhu Qianying rubbed her eyes sleepily, "What is it?"
"Mingxuan's several large hotels in L City were temporarily sealed off by the police early this morning, on suspicion of illegal operation."
Zhu Qianying's mind wasn't fully working yet, and she was a little overwhelmed. She just lazily replied, "Oh... what does it have to do with us?"
Although her surname was Zhu, she knew that neither Zhu Zhizhou nor Zhu Shaofen and her sons would let her inherit anything from Mingxuan. As for her mother, who was a fourth concubine without any title or status, she naturally had no right to inherit anything. Therefore, the matter of Mingxuan really had little to do with her and her mother.
"I just ran into Zhuzhizhou outside the neighborhood..." Mom finally got to the point.
"What? What's he doing here again?"
The last time Zhu Qianying saw her scumbag father, who had given her life, was at her wedding five years ago. Since her mother didn't even have a formal status in the Zhu family, she, her mother, and Xiaoyu left the Zhu family without even needing to issue a statement severing ties.
"He asked me to talk to you and ask Young Master Yan to let them go. How did this matter get involved with Young Master Yan again?"
Zhu Qianying was now fully awake. So, when Young Master Yan said "do it your way" last night, he meant to shut down the Mingxuan Hotel.
"Mom, he's just making this up! You don't need to worry about it. Just stay home as much as possible these days. I'll buy the necessary daily necessities and food on my way to work."
Zhu Qianying thought she could fool her mother this way, but as it turns out, Chen Jing is no longer the short-sighted and ignorant fourth concubine of the Zhu family.
"Ying'er, tell me honestly, why did Young Master Yan go after Mingxuan? Has something happened again?"
Chen Jing pulled at her daughter, as if to say, "If you don't explain it to me clearly, I won't let you wash your face or brush your teeth."
"Mom, can I tell you slowly after I brush my teeth and drink a glass of warm milk?"
A few minutes later, Zhu Qianying, holding a cup of hot milk, selectively mentioned to her mother that Zhu Junwei had indirectly instigated the jewelry store owner to cause her trouble in the United States. As for the sordid things that happened last night, she decided not to mention them.
"You were threatened in the US?" Chen Jing was very surprised; she had been kept in the dark about this.
At first, she couldn't understand why her daughter insisted on sending Zizai back to L City. Now she realizes that her daughter had no choice but to do so.
It's terrifying to think about it. Just how many things is my daughter hiding from me?
"Mom, all that is in the past. Now, be careful of the Zhu family. I'm afraid they might bite people if they're pushed too far."
The Yan family will be responsible for ensuring Zizai's safety, and naturally, I will be responsible for ensuring my mother's safety.
"Yeah, I'll try to go out as little as possible. You too, if there's anything work-related, we can keep in touch online. There's no need to go back to the store, right?"
Just as Zhu Qianying was worried about her safety, Chen Jing was also worried about her daughter's safety.
Moreover, if the Zhu family really decides to take action, I'm afraid my daughter will be the first to suffer.
"I know, I'll try to minimize going out during this time. By the way, how did you manage to get rid of Takenozumi's entanglement just now?"
"The security guard noticed that he was pulling on me and realized something was wrong, so he came out to help me, and that's how I managed to get away."
Chen Jing's feelings for Zhu Zhizhou had been completely extinguished five years ago. Ironically, Zhu Zhizhou actually used their marital bond to beg her to plead with Yan Shao on his behalf.
Chen Jing was unwilling to discuss these matters in detail with her daughter.
In Chen Jing's view, if she hadn't been weak and incompetent, her eldest daughter would never have ruined her own happiness in that way.
Admittedly, to outsiders, being able to marry a rich man like Young Master Yan is a stroke of good fortune that others couldn't achieve even after accumulating good karma for several lifetimes.
However, Chen Jing herself had wasted more than 20 years of her life in a wealthy family. As someone who had been through it all, she would never let her daughter repeat the same mistake.
