Qin Xiu was getting anxious; he had finally come up with this excuse after much effort. If she couldn't accept it, how was he supposed to complete the task assigned to him by Young Master Yan?
“Miss Zhu, I’ve heard that many girls get a full set of pre-wedding beauty treatments before their wedding. I’ve also heard that they’re quite expensive. Besides, you’ll need to buy some jewelry and such. It wouldn’t be right for you to pay for all of that yourself, would it?”
Zhu Qianying still didn't accept the offer. "Mr. Qin, if I really need to buy something, I will talk to Young Master Yan first."
In the end, no matter what Qin Xiu said, Zhu Qianying refused to accept the card.
Having no other choice, Qin Xiu could only dejectedly return to Young Master Yan to apologize.
Yan Shao had long witnessed her obsession with money, so when he saw Qin Xiu return dejectedly, he roughly guessed that he had been rejected.
"Master, Miss Zhu said she'll be home later." Qin Xiu didn't dare say the rest directly.
"However, don't worry, sir, I've already found someone to secretly protect Miss Zhu." Having followed Young Master Yan for so long, Qin Xiu's competence is beyond doubt.
He can do everything perfectly, whether it's something others can think of or something they can't.
This is why Young Master Yan trusts him so much and can entrust him with anything.
Yan Shao didn't say anything more this time, and waved his hand, signaling Qin Xiu to go and get busy.
...
After Qin Xiu left, Zhu Qianying ordered takeout. After finishing this meal, which served as both lunch and afternoon tea, she called her younger sister, Zhu Qianyu.
"Sister, you're back?"
Zhu Qianyu on the other end of the phone sounded very anxious.
"Yeah, just got back. What's up? Need something?"
“It wasn’t me, it was Mom looking for you. She called several times saying it was urgent, but when I asked her what it was, she wouldn’t tell me.”
Zhu Qianying fiddled with the remote control in her hand. "Okay, I understand. I'll call her in a bit."
Why are you in such a hurry to find her? What could it be about? It must be about the loan.
Many times, Zhu Qianying couldn't understand what her mother's brain was made of.
Is it tofu pudding? Or is it all grass?
Zhu Zhizhou has never taken her seriously all these years, and everyone can see that. Otherwise, the older women and the "brothers and sisters" would never have dared to bully the mother and her two daughters so openly.
But ironically, this scumbag is treated like a god by his mother.
After talking to Xiaoyu on the phone, Zhu Qianying thought it over and over again. Finally, she packed her bags, checked out of the room she had stayed in for less than a day, and hailed a taxi back to the Zhu family home.
Before six o'clock, Qin Xiu received a call from his bodyguard, saying that Miss Zhu had returned to the Zhu family.
Qin Xiu immediately relayed the message to Young Master Yan, who nodded and said he understood. Later, after he finished dinner, he called the Zhu family directly.
The person who answered the phone was Takenozu.
"Please ask for Zhu Qianying!" Yan Shao had originally asked Uncle Hai to make this call, but after Uncle Hai dialed the number, he suddenly changed his mind and reached out to take the receiver.
Zhu Zhizhou has a very sharp ear; he immediately recognized Yan Shao's voice.
"Young Master Yan? You're looking for Ying'er? She went out to visit a classmate and hasn't come back yet!"
Zhu Zhizhou was extremely polite. Even though Yan Shao had embarrassed him quite a bit during this period, he still didn't dare to openly turn against Yan Shao.
After all, if he could just endure for another month or so, the dowry and cooperation plan would be settled.
He understood this principle better than anyone: "A small act of impatience can ruin a great plan."
"She's back today. She arrived home at five o'clock this afternoon. Go and call her on the phone." Yan Shao understood more and more why Zhu Qianying didn't want to return to the Zhu family.
"Huh? She got home around 5 o'clock? That girl, why didn't she say anything when she got back? She's probably sleeping soundly in her room again..."
Yan Shao was too lazy to listen to his rambling. "Please let her answer the phone!"
Sensing Yan Shao's displeasure, Zhu Zhizhou quickly said, "How about I go upstairs and ask her to call you back?"
Yan Shao immediately rejected his suggestion, "No, I'll wait here."
Get her back? Who knows when that will be?
Zhu Qianying was indeed in the bedroom, but she wasn't sleeping; instead, she was tidying up the treasures she had secretly hidden away.
Hearing the door open, he asked warily, "Who is it?"
"Ying'er, Young Master Yan wants you to come downstairs to answer the phone."
Zhu Qianying frowned slightly. "Alright, I'm coming right away." She quickly hid the treasures, grabbed a coat, opened the door, and hurriedly put it on.
Sure enough, Takeozumi was still waiting for her outside the door.
"dad……"
This is the first time the father and daughter have met since they had a falling out in front of the Yan family of three.
Takeshima seemed to have completely forgotten what had happened before. "Yeah, go downstairs and answer the phone. Your mom doesn't know you're back, right? I'll go ask her to prepare some food for you."
Since no one in the family knew that Zhu Qianying had returned, naturally no one called her to dinner.
Zhu Qianying gave an "oh" and went downstairs.
In the living room, Zhu Shaofen and Fang Caiping were eating melon seeds and watching TV when they saw Zhu Qianying come down. They nodded to her with a half-smile.
Zhu Qianying returned their smiles, sat down on the sofa next to the phone, and picked up the receiver. "Hello, Young Master Yan?"
When her father told her that Yan Shao was looking for her, she was puzzled. Hadn't they just met at noon today? Why was he calling home so soon? Was he afraid that she would run away without a trace again?
"Did you call my mom?" It was indeed Yan Shao's voice coming through the receiver.
"Not yet? Does Auntie have something urgent to tell me?" Zhu Qianying assumed that Young Master Yan was just casually mentioning it.
"She personally found a wedding dress designer to make several wedding dresses for you, but who knew you would disappear without a trace!" Yan Shao's tone carried a hint of resentment.
"Wedding dress?" Zhu Qianying deliberately ignored his displeasure; she hadn't even thought about wedding dresses.
Perhaps because this marriage was not what she desired, she didn't think about anything related to the wedding, such as the pre-wedding beauty treatments, jewelry, and even the wedding dress that Qin Xiu had mentioned to her at noon.
In her mind, marriage meant going back to the Yan family with Young Master Yan on December 25th, after which she would become a member of the Yan family and have no further connection with the Zhu family.
That's all!
“Come over now. My mom had the designer send over a lot of samples. If they’re not suitable, we need to get the designer to revise them as soon as possible. Time is too tight, and the designer won’t be able to make it in time.”
Zhu Qianying paused for a moment, "Do we really have to go now? Can't we go tomorrow?"
"The designer is a foreigner, and this is her working time!" Yan Shao explained patiently, which was rare for him.
It was rare for him to be so good-tempered, so Zhu Qianying didn't dare to question him anymore. "Okay, I'll go over now."
"Stay put, I'll have the driver pick you up. Bring a change of clothes too, so the driver won't have to run back and forth!"
