"Hey, you two, that's enough. Does bullying a kid give you any satisfaction?" Zhu Qianyu said indignantly, probably because she felt that her sister and Ji Huan were teaming up to insult her.
Zhu Qianying looked at her younger sister, shook her head with a helpless smile, "Silly girl, Ji Huan was just saying sweet words. You weren't moved, and you even said he was bullying you. You're really stupid."
Zhu Qianyu carefully considered Ji Huan's words. Apart from implying that she was stupid, they could indeed be interpreted as a love confession.
"Okay, I know what he meant by sweet talk. But what about the bracelet? How are you going to cover for him this time, sister?"
Zhu Qianying looked at Ji Huan with sympathy before explaining to her younger sister.
"Fool, amethyst is known in the West as the 'stone of love,' and it is said that wearing it can bestow deep love, fidelity, honesty, and courage upon lovers and spouses."
Zhu Qianyu twirled the purple crystal bead in her hand, looked up at Ji Huan and asked, "You knew all along?"
Ji Huan smiled and winked, which was taken as tacit agreement.
"And what about yours?" Zhu Qianyu felt that she was as ignorant as a primary school student in front of both her sister and Ji Huan.
"Legend has it that green crystals and emeralds are particularly effective at warding off evil spirits. Moreover, the green light in green crystals is said to have a strong power to attract wealth, enhancing one's career and fortune, including all good luck, opportunities, good friends, and even the help of benefactors. So, did you say something bad about me to Ji Huan?"
"So, did you say something bad about me to Ji Huan?"
Zhu Qianying's shrewd eyes swept over Zhu Qianyu, and Ji Huan put his arm around Zhu Qianyu's shoulder and laughed, "She said you really like money!"
Zhu Qianyu muttered softly, "I wasn't wrong, my sister really does love money the most!"
Zhu Qianying looked at her beloved younger sister and smiled without saying a word.
Ji Huan glanced at her and said, "Xiaoyu, I think your sister prefers something else."
Zhu Qianying rested her chin on her hand and looked at Ji Huan, seemingly already guessing what his answer would be.
Zhu Qianyu looked at him in disbelief, "How could that be? My sister loves money the most!"
Ji Huan pinched her cheek. "I think your sister's favorite person is a fool named Zhu Qianyu!"
Seeing her younger sister looking blank and not reacting, Zhu Qianying couldn't help but burst into laughter, leaning on the table.
Ji Huan smiled and took a sip of water. Zhu Qianyu bent her elbow and bumped his chest hard, protesting, "I'm her precious little sister, not a thing! Nor am I stupid!"
After Zhu Qianying finally finished laughing, Ji Huan put his arm around Zhu Qianyu and said to Zhu Qianying, "However, from today onwards, this idiot belongs to me. Yingying, from now on, you can just like money. As long as I like this idiot, that's enough!"
Zhu Qianying picked up the glass of lemonade. "Fine, I'm handing Xiaoyu over to you. If you ever dare to treat Xiaoyu badly in the future, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Ji Huan raised his glass and clinked it with hers. "Don't worry, I, Ji Huan, am not a casual person. Not long after I met her, I already knew that she was the one for me!"
Zhu Qianyu felt a little resentful that the two people who loved her most had transferred their love and ownership to her right in front of her. But before she could protest, she heard Ji Huan's promise, which sounded like a promise for life, and her face turned red again.
She gently tugged at Ji Huan's arm, brought her face close to his ear and whispered, "Hey, stop being so mushy... When did you ever say you couldn't live without me?"
Zhu Qianying stared at the young couple, finding them increasingly pleasing to the eye.
It's said that a mother-in-law likes her son-in-law more and more the more she looks at him. She wasn't a mother-in-law, but she still liked Ji Huan more and more the more she looked at him.
"Isn't that because I haven't had a chance to tell you yet? Telling you now won't change anything, will it?"
Ji Huan seemed to be an open and honest person, not minding admitting his feelings in front of Zhu Qianying at all. Presumably, in his view, loving Zhu Qianyu was a fact, and such an open and honest feeling had no need to be hidden.
As Zhu Qianying slowly sipped her water, she felt comforted watching her clumsy younger sister being protected and cared for by Ji Huan.
It seems the rumors that the men of the Ji family are all good men are true.
All three of them thoroughly enjoyed the meal, and most importantly, they had a very enjoyable conversation.
After all, they are about the same age, so there is basically no generation gap.
Unlike her and Young Master Yan...
Thinking of Yan Shao, Zhu Qianying was slightly lost in thought.
After the three of them paid the bill, as they said goodbye in the parking lot, Ji Huan suddenly asked Zhu Qianying, "Yingzi, I'm thinking of taking Xiaoyu home tomorrow. You don't mind, do you?"
Zhu Qianying paused for a moment, then looked at Zhu Qianyu, "If Xiaoyu has no objection, then I have no objection either."
She was very satisfied with Ji Huan, even more so than she had imagined. Xiaoyu was fortunate to have met such a man!
Zhu Qianyu was clearly hesitant, or perhaps she hadn't quite processed it yet. After all, she and Ji Huan had only been officially a couple for less than 24 hours, and she was already meeting his parents so soon?
Originally, Ji Huan hadn't planned to bring Zhu Qianyu home so soon, but his meeting with Zhu Qianying tonight went exceptionally smoothly. Moreover, judging from Xiaoyu's words, he had basically passed her sister's test, so he was considered to have completely passed the test.
Now that he had gotten past her family's hurdle, taking her home to meet her parents and brothers was immediately put on the agenda.
Seeing that Zhu Qianyu was stunned on the spot, and knowing that she hadn't reacted for a moment, Ji Huan patiently explained.
"Actually, my daddy, mommy, brother and sister have known about you for a long time. They have always wanted to meet you. You can rest assured that my family is very easy to get along with."
Seeing that her younger sister was still hesitating, Zhu Qianying agreed on her behalf.
"Alright, Ji Huan, book your plane tickets and come pick her up tomorrow."
Last night, Zhu Qianying heard a lot from her younger sister about her and Ji Huan, and learned that the silly girl had misunderstood Ji Huan for months, causing him to suffer for nothing.
If it were any other man with Ji Huan's qualities, he would have turned around and left long ago.
It's rare that Ji Huan is such a stubborn person; after being tormented by this silly girl for months, he still hasn't given up.
While feeling relieved, Zhu Qianying naturally had to actively promote her sister's relationship with Ji Huan.
After all, she herself was about to leave the Zhu family, and it would definitely be less convenient for her to take care of this silly girl in the future. Now that Ji Huan had taken over, she could feel more at ease.
"Thank you, Shadow!"
After seeing the two sisters off to their carriage, Ji Huan remembered another equally important matter.
"Shadow, what about your mother..."
Ji Huan didn't know everything about the Zhu family, but he knew quite a bit about the two sisters and their mother.
Although their mother is a person who doesn't have much of her own opinion, she is still Xiaoyu's mother after all.
"Don't worry about her for now. When the time is right, I will arrange for you to meet. You and Xiaoyu can go about your business as usual. As for anything else you don't understand, Xiaoyu will tell you tomorrow."
Zhu Qianying was unwilling to say much about her parents' issues. In any case, she had already told Xiaoyu how to talk to Ji Huan.
