Yan Shao told Zhu Qianying that their son would be returning tomorrow. Zhu Qianying was also very happy, after all, she, like Yan Shao, had not seen her son for many days.
"Should we wait for Zizai to come back tomorrow and then take Xingxing to get her vaccination, or should we take Xingxing to get her vaccination first and then pick up Zizai together?"
Even without Yan Shao mentioning it, Zhu Qianying had already indicated that all actions would be carried out together tomorrow.
Yan Shao thought for a moment, "Let's finish Xingxing's injection first before picking her up, okay? So that the little one won't feel bad seeing Xingxing looking so sick."
Zhu Qianying also thought he made sense, so she arranged to go to the pet hospital in the morning the next day, and then go to the airport together to pick up the two old people and the little guy.
After hanging up the phone, Yan Shao continued his overtime work, while Zhu Qianying continued to click on the car accident news.
Just now, she really wanted to ask Young Master Yan if he was responsible for Zhu Junwei's car accident.
Several times, though the words were on the tip of my tongue, I just couldn't bring myself to ask them.
She knew perfectly well that asking such a question was pointless.
Although her world was filled with exclusion and disdain from a young age, she rarely came into contact with anything involving fighting or killing.
Therefore, when she encountered such a thing in the United States, her first concern was for the safety of her beloved son.
But now, Zhu Junwei's experience reminds her that she is very, very close to bloodshed and death.
She didn't consider herself a saint, and when she learned that everything she had experienced in Country M was the work of Zhu Junwei, she felt both angry and sad.
She had no deep-seated hatred for Zhu Junwei, and she had never done anything outrageous to the Zhu family. The fact that Mingxuan Group couldn't get a loan was Mingxuan's own problem. Zhu Zhizhou wanted to use her as a bargaining chip to get Yan Shao's help, but why should they? She was just unlucky enough to be born into the Zhu family, not their slave. Why should they take it for granted that she had to do everything she could for them?
Besides, Zhu Zhizhou received a dowry of 100 million from Young Master Yan back then, so it wasn't a loss for him.
Since the Zhu family has already gained all the benefits, why would Zhu Junwei still want to harm his half-sister?
It's chilling to even think about it. If she hadn't rushed back to the jewelry store on urgent business, she would have perished in the fire that day. Even if she hadn't died, she would likely have been severely injured. Or, if the car had exploded later and she had been in it, she certainly wouldn't have survived.
Fortunately, Zhu Junwei was unaware of Zizai's existence at the time; otherwise, the consequences would have been even more unimaginable.
Thinking that all of this was the result of Zhu Junwei's cruel actions, she felt that his current predicament was nothing more than retribution for all the evil deeds he had committed.
Based on information circulating online, Zhu Junwei should be out of danger by now, but his injuries are serious. However, the specifics of his injuries are not detailed online.
Just as Zhu Qianying was trying to search for more information about Zhu Jun's car accident and the seizure of Mingxuan Group, her QQ rang.
The profile picture that was flashing frantically was that of her younger sister, Zhu Qianyu.
Zhu Qianying clicked on the flashing profile picture and accepted the video call invitation.
Zhu Qianyu's face appeared on the screen, and she spoke, mentioning Mingxuan's matter.
"Sister, you know about Mingxuan's matter, right?"
Zhu Qianying probably expected that her sister would come for this matter. "Well, I also saw it online. Anyway, this has nothing to do with us. Just treat it as a show and take care of your health."
Xiaoyu only contacted her at this time, probably because she only found out about this now. Presumably, the Ji family deliberately kept it from her, not wanting her to be upset about it.
"They haven't bothered you and Mom, have they?"
Since Zhu Qianyu became pregnant, she has become a key protected figure in the Ji family. Not only is she not allowed to go on location shoots, but Ji Huan also doesn't allow her to participate in shoots at Xinying's own studio. During this time, she does go back to Xinying every day, but she only stays in the office writing scripts or helping Tian Fang arrange some artist matters.
"It's their own business, why are they bothering me and Mom? Alright, just focus on your pregnancy, don't worry about it, I know what I'm doing."
Zhu Qianying didn't want to tell Xiaoyu about Zhu Junwei's messy affairs, not because she was afraid of shattering Xiaoyu's illusions about the Zhu family, but because she didn't want to taint Xiaoyu's mind.
"Sister, I heard that Mingxuan suffered this calamity because he offended Young Master Yan? And that Zhu Junwei's car accident was also because of this, is that right?"
But Zhu Qianyu is no longer the eighteen-year-old girl she once was.
She has her own social circle, and even if the Ji family and Zhu Qianying try to hide it from her, they can't.
"Xiaoyu, you can't believe what you hear. Young Master Yan and the Zhu family broke off all contact eight hundred years ago. How could you offend someone you have no connection with?"
Even though she couldn't hide it, Zhu Qianying still refused to admit it. How could she tell her sister that she had received such a deadly threat before returning home?
As for the incident that night at Yiran Pavilion, where Zhu Junwei and Yi Wei conspired to scheme against Young Master Yan, she found it even more difficult to speak of it.
"Sister, we may not know the truth, but if anything happens, remember to tell me. Even if I can't solve it, there's still Ji Huan, isn't there?"
Zhu Qianying was deeply grateful for the care and help the Ji family had given her and her daughters over the years, but that was precisely why she didn't want to trouble the Ji family all the time.
Admittedly, the Ji family has the ability, but she doesn't think she has the right or status to always accept help and gifts from others.
Besides, Young Master Yan will handle Mingxuan and Zhu Junwei's matter. As for myself and my mother, we just need to be careful and wary of the Zhu family. There's no need to keep bothering the Ji family.
Zhu Qianying chatted with Xiaoyu for about ten minutes before kicking her sister offline, citing radiation concerns.
Just when she thought the matter was over, Zhu Qianying received another call from Ji Huan more than half an hour later.
"Shadow, are you alright?"
Ji Huan's voice was as clear and powerful as ever.
"Mom and I are both fine, don't worry. Is Xiaoyu asleep?"
"Yeah, I just fell asleep. I was worried about your and Mom's safety. But, Shadow, don't blame me for being long-winded, the Zhu family is really capable of anything. Why don't you and Mom come to R City to avoid them for a while? The new villa is all set up and you can move in anytime. You and Mom can bring Zizai along, it'll make things more lively."
Ji Huan didn't mention Yan Shao at all, probably because he knew that the relationship between Zhu Qianying and Yan Shao was awkward at the moment.
"Ji Huan, thank you. Mom and I will be careful. Just take good care of Xiaoyu and don't let her overthink things."
