Two days later, Yan Bo and his wife flew abroad with Ji Rui and his wife. For their charitable initiative, Yan Shao donated a large sum of money to the charity foundation to show his support for the four elders' new business.
The Ji brothers naturally donated a sum of money from their own private assets to the foundation.
The four elders confidently led the large group toward their destination. The Ji brothers had officially taken over the Ji Kingdom a month earlier, with Ji Yu (Ji Dabao) as president and Ji Huan (Ji Xiaobao) as vice president.
After Ji Huan was promoted to vice president, he became increasingly busy with work, and thus had much less time to supervise Zhu Qianyu.
So, Zhu Qianyu would video chat with Chen Jing and Zhu Qianying every other night during this period.
"Mom, when will you and my sister come to see me again...?"
Don't say that Zizai loves to act cute; Xiaoyu also loves to act cute in front of Chen Jing and Zhu Qianying.
How about next week?
Following her eldest son-in-law's advice, Chen Jing had been arriving home half an hour earlier than usual these past few days. She happened to run into Zhu Qianying and Zizai video chatting with Zhu Qianyu in the living room, so she sat down as well. Hearing her youngest daughter's coquettish words, Chen Jing couldn't bear to refuse and immediately gave her a time.
"Sister, are you alright?"
Zhu Qianying was not actually aware of her current work schedule. Logically speaking, the new season's products were still being processed, and she should be in a period of rest.
However, because Cheng Ye went back to M country to handle some business, everything that Cheng Ye was supposed to do in L city became her responsibility.
"I'll have to see how things go then..."
This was the only answer she could give her sister for now.
"Otherwise, Han-jie and I will bring Beibei and Guoguo to stay at your house for a couple of days," Zhu Qianyu on the screen suggested as a compromise.
Before Chen Jing and Zhu Qianying could answer, the young master jumped high off the sofa, "Great! Great! Auntie, brothers, and sisters, come play with us!"
When it comes to matters of entertainment, whether it's the Ji family or the Yan family, it's all up to the young master. With the young master jumping around and making a fuss, the matter is essentially settled.
Since they would be meeting soon, Zhu Qianying urged her younger sister to log off as soon as possible.
"Ji Huan told you not to sit in front of the computer for more than fifteen minutes, but you've been chatting for half an hour now. Be good, go offline and rest."
Zhu Qianyu wanted to continue chatting for a while, but the young master said, "Auntie, computer radiation is bad for babies!"
The young master's words made Zhu Qianyu immediately and obediently say goodnight to everyone and log off.
"Mom, you should go take a shower too." Zhu Qianying massaged Chen Jing's shoulders and urged her.
"I'll stay with Zizai and Xiaoluzi for a while. After they fall asleep, I'll go take a shower."
Chen Jing came back a little earlier than usual, simply to spend time with the two children.
Upon hearing her say this, the two boys each put their arms around her arms and chattered on about the funny things that happened at school.
Zizai said his school organized a recitation competition today, and he won the bilingual championship for his grade.
Even Zhu Qianying had never heard him mention this before. Now that she overheard it by chance, she turned to look at him in surprise, "Baby, you won the championship, why didn't you mention it to Mommy?"
Zizai blinked, then grinned and snuggled into Zhu Qianying's arms. "Hehe, I was just trying to give you a big surprise."
Zhu Qianying didn't think he was trying to surprise them; he probably just forgot.
Because, in his eyes, that championship was nothing to brag about. As for why he only told his mother-in-law, it's probably because he knew she cared about these things.
As for her, as a mother, she doesn't seem to care much about these things.
“Zizai is so clever. If you want any prize, just tell Grandma and she will buy it for you.”
Chen Jing was indeed very happy after hearing what the young master said.
"Grandma, can we go to a restaurant for dinner tomorrow night?" the young master asked, blinking his innocent eyes.
Without a second thought, Chen Jing readily replied, "Of course, no problem. Since your grandparents aren't home, it's actually more convenient for us to eat at a restaurant."
Chen Jing didn't think about it in detail, but Zhu Qianying vaguely guessed the real purpose of the little guy's actions.
The next day, Zhu Qianying went to pick up Zizai. On the way back to the restaurant, Zhu Qianying held the little guy in her arms and quietly asked him a question.
"Honey, do you want to eat dinner at a restaurant because of Grandpa Luo?"
Zizai tilted his little face up, blinked his eyes, and smiled without saying a word.
Le Tong had no idea that he had previously shared so much information about his mother's preferences with Luo Yifan. Of course, Luo Yifan might have already known those preferences, but having Zizai tell him made it all the more meaningful.
So, the very thing she was worried about—Zizai still did it.
However, even if she were to tell Zhu Qianying openly that Zizai was secretly helping her, she wouldn't stop him, because even she, as his daughter, was getting a little anxious.
Several days have passed, and my mother still hasn't signed that bet agreement. Clearly, she hasn't thought it through.
Fortunately, Luo Yifan didn't actually wait for his mother to think things through before meeting her, as he had said. Otherwise, if the two of them had just been waiting like this without meeting, it would probably have been too late by the time they saw her!
"Uncle Luo!"
Zhu Qianying led Zizai inside. Luo Yifan was still sitting at his usual table, typing away.
In Zhu Qianying's opinion, it is truly remarkable that Luo Yifan, with his status and age, has been able to achieve what he has achieved so far.
Therefore, she felt even more strongly that her mother's consideration time this time seemed to be a bit too long.
Those who grew up to be her daughters were a little impatient, and really had the idea of quickly packing her up and handing her over to Luo Yifan.
"Ying'er, you've come?"
After greeting Zhu Qianying with a smile, Luo Yifan waved to the little guy she was holding, signaling him to come over.
Zhu Qianying gently nudged Zizai, then turned and walked into the cashier's counter.
"Zizai, this is for you!"
Luo Yifan conjured a jade pendant from somewhere and placed it in the little guy's hand.
Because of Zhu Qianying, Zizai also had some knowledge of jade. He looked down and carefully examined the jade pendant in his palm for a while, then returned the jade pendant to Luo Yifan and solemnly declared.
"Grandpa Luo, this is too expensive, Zizai can't accept it."
Luo Yifan looked surprised. "Zizai, this isn't expensive. It's just an ordinary jade pendant for protection."
“Grandpa Luo, this is no ordinary jade pendant. This is top-quality Hetian jade.” Zizai’s expression really didn’t seem like he was lying.
Luo Yifan was amazed by his knowledge, "Zizai, who told you this is Hetian jade?"
Zizai pointed to Zhu Qianying at the checkout counter, "My mommy! She often puts a lot of things she likes in her shopping cart, but she really can't afford such high-quality Hetian jade!"
