Zhu Qianying and Yan Shao exchanged a glance, thinking to themselves, "Here it comes."
Sure enough, as soon as the two sat down, Old Madam Yan got straight to the point without any preamble.
"We drew a marriage fortune for you two this afternoon while you were resting outside."
"Hmm..." Zhu Qianying nodded to indicate that she understood.
"The fortune slip is a very auspicious one!"
Zhu Qianying and Yan Shao immediately exchanged a puzzled look.
If it's a lucky draw, why does my mother look so preoccupied?
Soon, Old Madam Yan's words cleared up their doubts: "Afterwards, I drew a peace divination for you, but it was a very bad omen."
Zhu Qianying's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the car accident, the vandalism of her shop, and the near disfigurement weren't bad enough?
What's next?
Yan Shao's inner thoughts were clearly the same as Zhu Qianying's.
Because his hand, which was on Zhu Qianying's waist, visibly trembled when Old Madam Yan said "the worst possible outcome".
"What did the fortune teller say?"
The previously calm and composed Young Master Yan is now somewhat anxious.
Of course he was anxious. So many things had happened lately, all of them involving Zhu Qianying, and each one of them involved bloodshed.
Even before she returned from the United States, she was harassed by thugs who beat, vandalized, burned houses and cars. After returning, she was involved in a car accident and her shop was vandalized. Each of these events could have been fatal disasters. Fortunately, Zhu Qianying was blessed with good fortune and was able to escape these disasters time and time again.
But now they're telling him it's not the end yet?
Is there more to the story?
He said, "There's no solution!"
Yan Shao was anxious and unconsciously cursed, "Shit!"
Madam Yan glared at him fiercely, but Young Master Yan showed no sign of restraint and continued to shout recklessly.
"It's a lie! If someone can get the answer, there must be a solution. If there isn't, it's because their understanding of the divination method isn't profound enough!" These words were less about despising the fortune teller and more about self-consolation.
Madam Yan raised her hand and slapped his head hard before speaking to Zhu Qianying.
"Ying'er, it's better to be safe than sorry with these kinds of things. You should be careful when you go out these days. Anyway, your job doesn't seem to require you to be on duty, right?"
Zhu Qianying nodded. After receiving an affirmative answer, Madam Yan said, "In that case, you should try to minimize going out during this period."
It seems that Old Madam Yan and Young Master Yan have the same idea.
These past few months have indeed been anything but peaceful for Zhu Qianying, with one unexpected event after another hitting her.
But since it's an accident, it's something unexpected, and absolutely impossible to guard against.
Zhu Qianying obediently agreed to Madam Yan's reminder. Regardless of whether she believed it or not, it was necessary for her to be careful in her actions.
"Young Master Yan, do you think I'm cursed with bad luck?"
Even after taking a bath and lying in bed, Zhu Qianying couldn't help but sigh as she recalled Old Madam Yan's words.
Yan Shao's heart skipped a beat. Standing by the bed, he casually slapped her butt.
"Don't talk nonsense. There's no such thing as a jinx. Don't listen to my mother's ramblings. She's been hanging out with whoever she's with lately, and she's become a bit neurotic. Looks like we need to get Aunt Tong to give her something to do. If she has something to do, she won't be making up stories and scaring herself all the time!"
Le Tong and Ji Rui will officially take over the charity next month. According to Madam Yan, she and Yan Bo are also directors.
"Mom only drew the fortune stick because she cares about us. Anyway, not only me, but you also need to be careful. Especially since you come into contact with so many people all day long, the risk is even greater."
Yan Shao climbed onto the bed, pressed his whole body against hers, and tapped the tip of her nose with his finger.
"Just say you care about me, no need to beat around the bush."
Zhu Qianying grabbed his mischievous hand, pulled it to her lips, and took a bite.
"You're my husband, of course I care about you."
"Don't worry, your husband is wise and mighty, invulnerable to swords and spears!" Young Master Yan was still boasting smugly.
Zhu Qianying glared at him, then bit down hard on his finger.
"Ouch, you really had the heart to bite me? That hurts!"
"Serves you right!" Zhu Qianying cursed at him angrily.
Yan Shao moved his hand to the back of her neck and gently stroked the smooth skin under her hairline.
"Ying'er, I'll be careful! We've only had a few happy days together. I'll take good care of myself, and I'll take good care of you and Zizai. Then, our family will live happily ever after!"
...
The investigation into Mingxuan Group by the tax authorities has finally come to a conclusion. Due to serious tax evasion, the group was ordered to rectify the situation within a specified period and pay the outstanding taxes plus a fine.
After receiving the confirmation, Yan Shao immediately called Zhu Qianying.
"How much is the total amount, including taxes and fines?" Zhu Qianying's focus was always on the most important things.
"Nearly one hundred million..."
Hearing this number, Zhu Qianying was in a good mood.
"Looks like Zhu Junwei will have to go back to his grandma's house and complain about being poor again!"
"Heh, I feel that the Zhu family and the Zhu family will soon be ruined by Zhu Junwei!" Young Master Yan was also very gloating.
Although Mingxuan Group is under investigation, the problem is essentially still with Mingxuan itself; otherwise, no matter how much the investigation goes on, there would be no issues.
But in this matter, Zhu Qianying believed that the person behind it all was Yan Shao.
"Young Master Yan, you need to be careful."
Given Mingxuan's current situation, it won't be easy for them to come up with 100 million in working capital to pay taxes and fines.
Perhaps this time we'll have to sell everything we own to raise this money.
Who knows what Zhu Junwei might do when he's pushed to the limit?
"Oh, right, I'm going to pick up Zizai tonight. I'll go to a restaurant first. Zizai said he wanted to get something for Bai Xiaolu."
Because Zhu Qianying has been staying at the Yan family home for the past two days, Young Master Yan picks up Zizai and goes straight back to the Yan family home for dinner every day. Zizai hasn't been to a restaurant for two or three days, so he hasn't seen Bai Xiaolu for quite some time.
"Okay, we'll wait for you two to come back before we start eating."
Because her daughter and son had gone back to the Yan family home, Chen Jing had been staying there for the past few days. However, she still went out early and returned late every day to take care of the restaurant.
When the father and son returned to the Yan family home, it was already past seven o'clock. Zhu Qianying, whose bandages had been removed, took the bags from Zizai and Yan Shao at the entrance and kissed each of them on the cheek. "Go wash your faces, we're waiting for you two to eat!"
Normally, by this time, the little guy would be starving and running the fastest, but today, he stood still beside her, tugged at her clothes, and then beckoned to her with his finger.
Zhu Qianying thought he was going to complain about Young Master Yan, so she immediately squatted down and asked, "Baby, what's wrong? Did your dad bully you?"
After asking the question, I put my ear close to his mouth.
"No, I saw my mother-in-law's boyfriend!"
