Chapter 380: Zizai's Quiet "Betrayal"



Children's thinking is indeed universal.

Zizai's explanation was so vague, yet Guoguo actually understood!

Hearing Guoguo say that, Zizai's small face immediately lit up with joy, "Right? Right? I think so too..."

Lately, he's often caught in the middle of his parents' interactions, and to be honest, he feels much more comfortable watching them than when he used to see his mom and Uncle Cheng together.

Of course, there is probably a blood relationship at play here. Zizai's speed and degree of acceptance of Yan Han are much faster and deeper than Cheng Ye's.

It's not that Zizai and Cheng Ye have a bad relationship, but rather that he ultimately can't trust and rely on them as much as he does on Yan Han.

Meanwhile, Zhu Qianying was still worried about her son being affected by the rumors, unaware that her son had already taken precautions for himself through his own eyes.

In his heart, his parents have a very good relationship, just like his uncle, aunt, and uncle.

However, even though she was worried that her son would be misled by the rumors, Zhu Qianying still rejected Yan Shao's suggestion to pretend to reconcile.

Firstly, she didn't want to lie to her son.

Secondly, she was genuinely afraid that things might turn out for real!

As the song ended, the little guy very gentlemanly took Princess Guoguo's arm and walked to his smiling parents. "Mommy, do you want to dance to the next song?"

Zhu Qianying shook her head, "Baby, Mommy can't dance!"

Zhu Qianying wasn't lying; she wouldn't dance fast or slow, no matter what.

"Daddy can!" the little guy said with such certainty for some reason.

Zhu Qianying turned her head to look at Yan Shao quite naturally, originally waiting to see him make a fool of himself, but saw him nod, "Yes, I can. Do you want to dance?"

As she spoke, she reached out her hand to Zhu Qianying.

Zhu Qianying quickly waved her hands and shook her head, "No! I'm afraid I'll fall!"

Are you kidding me?! She specially wore 10cm heels to match this evening gown. Ask her to dance on stage? She'd probably fall flat on her face in less than three seconds!

Zhu Qianying, who was very self-aware, shook her head no matter how Yan Han and Zizai tried to persuade her. In the end, Yan Shao was pulled away by the Ji brothers to drink, and Zizai naturally went off to play and make a fuss with his older brother Beibei and older sister Guoguo. Zhu Qianying herself walked along the corridor toward where Xiaoyu and her mother were.

Halfway there, they happened to meet Xing Bailun, who was carrying some food on a tray.

"Shadow! What a coincidence, want to grab something to eat with me?"

Zhu Qianying and Xing Bailun had a meal together before the Spring Festival, and then they went about their own business and hadn't seen each other since.

For Yanbo and his wife's wedding anniversary, all seven of the ten major families in L City, except for the Yi, Zhu, and Zhu families, came to offer their congratulations.

Xing Bailun had just been drinking with Qi Xiao and the others, and now he was a little hungry, so he went off to get some food.

"Aaron, aren't you with Qi Xiao and the others?"

Zhu Qianying naturally accompanied Xing Bailun to find a place to sit down. She had only met them when they were greeting guests earlier, and hadn't had time to chat with them yet.

"Everyone's gone to flirt with pretty girls, leaving me all alone!"

Xing Bailun was obviously joking, and Zhu Qianying didn't take it seriously. She went to get a glass of juice and started chatting with Xing Bailun.

As they talked, they inevitably came up with that rumor.

"Shadow, how have you been lately?"

Now almost everyone in L City knows that the Yan family has completely fallen out with the Yi family and the Zhu family. Coupled with the rumors that have been circulating for the past two days, it's normal for Xing Bailun and the others to be worried about Zhu Qianying's situation.

"I'm doing just fine, aren't I? I'm not missing any arms or legs. Anyway, I mostly work from home and go out less often."

Zhu Qianying had no intention of hiding anything, and besides, it was impossible to hide it anyway.

"Oh, by the way, I heard that Zhu Junwei found evidence to clear his name. Have you heard about this?"

I've never heard of Zhu Qianying before.

Actually, she didn't feel comfortable asking Young Master Yan anything about the Zhu and Yi families.

She'd rather ask Xing Bailun and the others than Yan Shao.

"You look like you don't know!"

Xing Bailun scrutinized Zhu Qianying intently. Whether it was his imagination or not, he felt as if she was hiding something from him.

"Yes, I really don't know. Tell me, what evidence did he find?"

Xing Bailun slightly gathered his scattered thoughts. "I heard that he found a scapegoat, but as for who this scapegoat is, we haven't found out yet."

Zhu Qianying wasn't stupid. After thinking for a moment, she said, "The only ones who could take the blame for something like this are his three brothers. It's unbelievable. So brothers are just there to take bullets for people!"

However, this is indeed like Zhu Junwei's style. If he were a kind person, he wouldn't have teamed up with Yi Wei to trick her half-sister.

Xing Bailun nodded in agreement with her words, "We guessed about the same thing as you, but it's really hard to say exactly who in the Zhu family it is."

Zhu Qianying analyzed, "Zhu Junzhao is his biological older brother, so he probably wouldn't be that ruthless. Zhu Haoming has the Song family backing him up, so he'll probably have some reservations. That leaves only the second brother, Zhu Haokang."

After analyzing all of this, Zhu Qianying couldn't help but feel fortunate.

"It seems I really have to thank Zhu Junzhao for letting me work as a waiter in the lobby back then. If he had entrusted me with such an important task, I would probably be the one taking the blame for Zhu Junwei today!"

"Yes, the Zhu family is truly a place of trouble and controversy; it really is an eye-opener!"

The ten major families of L City each have their own problems, but the most intense infighting among the brothers is undoubtedly the Zhu family. And the source of all this trouble is none other than Zhu Zhizhou himself.

However, for Zhu Qianying now, these are just another exciting show.

However, Zhu Qianying's guess was quickly refuted.

The answer she received was truly astonishing.

"Who said it was Zhu Haokang? It's Zhu Junzhao!" These words were spoken by Ji Huan, the second young master of the Ji family, so their credibility was naturally extremely high!

"No way? Are you sure it's Zhu Junzhao?" In the dim light, Zhu Qianying seemed to smell a strong scent of blood!

"That's right! I believe the police will release information about this soon!" Ji Huan said this while Zhu Qianyu was also present. Compared to Zhu Qianying, Zhu Qianyu found this possibility even more difficult to accept.

"Why? Aren't they biological brothers?"

Ji Huan's lips curled slightly, revealing a mocking smile. "It's precisely because they're blood brothers that they're easier to exploit, isn't it?"

Zhu Qianying instantly understood!

So, Zhu Junwei not only got his biological brother Zhu Junzhao to take the blame for him, but he did so willingly!
