Chen Jing and Luo Yifan went to participate in the competition together, so Zhu Qianying had nothing to worry about. However, even so, early in the morning, she still went to the apartment with Yan Shao and Zizai to personally pick up the two of them and send them to the airport.
The driver proactively helped the two exchange their boarding passes. As the group walked to the security checkpoint, Zhu Qianying hugged Chen Jing and said, "Mom, good luck!"
She didn't want to put too much pressure on her mother, but Zizai didn't understand all that and gave Chen Jing a thumbs-up, saying, "Grandma, remember to bring back a trophy!"
Chen Jing smiled and nodded, and even extended her pinky finger to make a pinky promise with the little guy.
"Okay, Grandma, how about we bring the trophy back as a birthday present for Zizai?"
"good!"
The little guy agreed very readily, and Chen Jing didn't seem to feel any burden from making this promise to Zizai. Even after entering the security checkpoint, she turned back with a smile and waved to them.
"Mommy, I heard from Grandpa Luo that Grandma won a gold medal in a national-level culinary competition when she was seventeen, is that right?"
Chen Jing never mentioned this matter in front of the little guy, and she didn't even let Zhu Qianying mention it to him, because in Chen Jing's opinion, it was all old news and there was nothing to brag about.
"Well, that's all in the past, there's nothing to brag about. People should look forward and strive for new goals every day, understand?"
Zhu Qianying promptly fed her son a large bowl of chicken soup. The little guy looked at her as if he understood, but still nodded obediently.
After leaving the airport, the original plan was to first send Zizai and Zhu Qianying back to the villa, and then Yan Shao would go to work.
But not long after the car left the airport, the little guy jumped on Yan Shao and said sweetly, "Daddy, I want to go to your company to play..."
Yan Shao and Zhu Qianying exchanged a glance, both feeling puzzled.
There's really nowhere fun to be found within the Yanhuang Group, from top to bottom.
Seeing that his parents didn't say anything, Zizai changed his approach and did it in a different way. He shook Yan Shao's arm and whimpered pitifully.
"Daddy... I really want some fresh air... I want to go to the amusement park..."
It turns out that his purpose was not to go to Yanhuang for fun, but rather to set his sights on the indoor amusement park opposite the Yanhuang Group.
Yan Shao and Zhu Qianying exchanged a silent glance. To be honest, given Zizai's current physical condition, he was not really suited to any stimulating sports.
"Zizai, have you forgotten what the doctor said?"
Although Zhu Qianying didn't want to spoil her son's fun, she didn't dare to take the risk.
"Mommy... Daddy..."
Zizai was still acting cute, but neither Yan Shao nor Zhu Qianying would take the risk in such a matter.
"Be good, little one. After a while, when you're all better, Daddy will take you and Mommy to the Grand Canyon!"
Yan Shao's promise finally calmed Zizai's restless heart, and the driver drove back to the villa as usual.
Originally, Zhu Qianying planned to return to Yanhuang with Yan Shao because she felt that it would be easier to conceive the layout of the studio by visiting the site in person.
But seeing Zizai like this, she changed her mind. She got out of the car with Zizai, said goodbye to Yan Shao, and then took Zizai back to the bedroom to pack their luggage for returning to Beijing.
Old Madam Yan, Yan Bo, and Young Master Yan do not need to pack their luggage when they return to the capital, because before Zhu Qianying and Zizai returned, they returned to the capital much more frequently than they do now.
So, the family of five suddenly returned to Old Yan's house without any warning, which made Grandma Yan cry with excitement.
“Zizai, come here and let Grandma hug you. No wonder I dreamed about you last night. It turns out you were coming back…”
The old woman spoke while wiping away tears.
Zhu Qianying reflected on herself and realized that, as juniors, she and Yan Shao had indeed not done enough.
"Grandma, I'm sorry, we've been a bit busy lately. We'll bring Zizai back to stay for a while when he's on vacation."
Zhu Qianying made a promise without Yan Shao's consent.
However, Yan Shao doesn't really care. He'll follow his wife and son wherever they are. As for work, he has the all-powerful internet now, so there's nothing he can't do.
Over here, several women, young and old, were chattering around Zizai, gossiping about everyday things.
Meanwhile, Yan Yuan called Yan Bo and Yan Han into his study.
"Xiaohan, how is Zizai doing now?"
Yan Yuan cared for this grandnephew no less than he cared for his own grandson.
"She's still the same, her health has recovered very well, and her personality is still as lively and mischievous as before."
"However, he no longer swims, and even now, he still doesn't want to go into the bathtub, but his mental state is very good. At first, Teacher Xiao predicted that he would have nightmares often, but apart from not sleeping well on the first day he returned home, he has slept very soundly every night since then. Apart from his unwillingness to sleep alone, everything else is normal."
Huo Hai gave a general overview of Zizai's situation, and Yan Yuan listened attentively for a long time before speaking.
"Youngest, Xiaohan, given Zizai's current situation, I think there's someone who might be able to help him."
Yan Bo and Yan Han immediately asked simultaneously, tensely, "Who?"
Yan Yuan's expression was solemn. "You all know this one."
A name flashed through Yan Shao's mind, "Dr. Zhao?"
Yan Yuan nodded. "That's right, it's him!"
"But isn't he secretly wanted?" Yan Shao felt that this hope was more cruel than having none at all.
Of course, since the Zong family could find Dr. Zhao, they could follow the clues to find him as well.
The problem is that the Zong family and the Yan family are different.
The Zong family has no political background, so in some matters they are actually more open-minded than the Yan family.
Young Master Yan would never allow the Yan family to suffer for the sake of Zizai.
After all, this is a matter of political stance. His cousin has been successfully transferred back to the capital and entered a core department. He will soon take up his new position. At this critical juncture, how could Young Master Yan dare to make any rash moves?
"Uncle, let's forget it. My elder brother is about to take office. Let's postpone the matter of Zizai."
After struggling for a while, Yan Shao made this difficult decision.
He loves Vic Zhou very much; he would give everything for him without hesitation.
But he didn't build the Yan family's empire. In fact, he even betrayed the Yan family. So what right does he have to gamble everything the Yan family has for Zizai?
He himself couldn't pass on the Yan family's legacy, which was his act of rebellion. But if he destroyed it all with his own hands, it wouldn't be as simple as just rebellion.
"Brother, I also think Xiaohan is right. Let's forget about Dr. Zhao's matter and think of another way," Yanbo said.
