Zhu Qianying was taken aback for a moment, "Huh?!"
Then, remembering Cheng Ye's relationship with Mr. and Mrs. Lei, she asked, "Did Cheng tell you and Mrs. Lei?"
This time, it was Mrs. Lei who was taken aback.
So, it turns out that Yan Han went to great lengths to deal with a bunch of thugs and that jewelry store owner for this girl, but she was completely unaware?
"Hehe..." Mrs. Lei chuckled ambiguously, trying to brush it off.
Since Yan Han isn't saying anything, he must have his reasons. And she thinks it's better for the person involved to explain it themselves.
Zhu Qianying did not realize the true meaning of Mrs. Lei's "hehe", taking it as her tacit agreement with her guess.
“At that time, I was being harassed one after another. What mother doesn’t cherish her child as her own life? And Cheng was my most trusted friend, so I could only ask him to help me send my son back.”
Hearing her say that, Mrs. Lei was basically certain that Zhu Qianying really didn't know what Yan Han had done recently, including what he had done during his visit.
To confirm her suspicions, Mrs. Lei probed again, "You can actually talk to Xiao Yan about this. After all, he's the child's father, and he has responsibilities too."
Zhu Qianying shook her head without even thinking, "He's too busy, I don't want to bother him with such a small matter!"
He's too busy—that's a foolproof excuse!
Zhu Qianying gave herself a thumbs up for her cleverness!
Mrs. Lei, during their brief conversation, vaguely sensed something unusual. However, she felt it was inappropriate for an outsider like herself to comment on certain matters, since many things were merely her own speculations.
Besides, matters of the heart are the most complex and difficult problems in the world. It's better for the people involved to sort them out and resolve them. As an outsider, it's best to say as little as possible.
"Shadow, you're so thoughtful. Xiao Yan is so lucky to have a wife like you."
Mrs. Lei had met Zhu Qianying a few times before and had a good impression of her. But that was all—just a good impression.
After all, neither Mrs. Lei nor Zhu Qianying are the kind of people who can easily open up to others.
Now, because of Yan Han, I have a deeper understanding of Zhu Qianying. I realized that this girl is not just as flamboyant and proud as she appears at work. In private, she is probably much more reserved than she is at work.
It's not difficult to become friends with someone like that.
But becoming someone she can trust, entrust, and rely on is extremely difficult.
It seems that Xiao Yan has a long way to go if he wants to truly reconcile with this girl!
"Mrs. Lei, you think too highly of me!" Zhu Qianying took Mrs. Lei's words as just a polite remark.
After all, apart from the facade of a loving couple that they both tried to create, there was no deeper affection between her and Yan Han. Where was the intimacy? Let alone happiness?
Mrs. Lei didn't say anything more, but dutifully accompanied Zhu Qianying in entertaining a group of guests who had become incredibly enthusiastic because of Zhu Qianying's changed status.
Mrs. Lei was already used to the guests' surreal reactions.
In this world, who doesn't live by seeking advantage and avoiding harm?
Of course, matters of the heart are a different story, which is why there's a common saying to advise people: "Please don't let your emotions get the better of you!"
In other words, things that are related to emotions are basically unrelated to interests, and may even run counter to interests.
Yan Han is the most vivid example at present.
Thinking about Zhu Qianying's reactions when she mentioned Yan Han several times, Mrs. Lei secretly lit a row of candles for Yan Han in her heart.
Yan Han and Mr. Lei returned from the party looking as composed and at ease as ever, while Mr. Lei, on the other hand, was not so composed.
Perhaps because he had a limited alcohol tolerance, his face showed a flush of drunkenness.
"Sister Lei, thank you for taking care of Shadow for me!" Yan Han said politely to Mrs. Lei with a smile.
Mrs. Lei smiled and nodded at him, "Xiao Yan, do you need to be so formal with me?"
After saying that, he helped Mr. Lei to the rest area to rest for a while.
As soon as Yan Han returned, he naturally pulled her back to his side, his large hand gently resting on Zhu Qianying's waist, which looked even more graceful in her cheongsam.
She reached out and took a glass of juice from the waiter, then handed it to Zhu Qianying.
Are you getting used to it?
Zhu Qianying took the juice and nodded, "Hmm, it's alright!"
She has attended many such occasions, but in the past, she always attended as the chief designer of Ying Jewelry. This time, however, she attended as Mrs. Yan, the young mistress of Yan. Obviously, there is a world of difference in both treatment and experience.
"Can you spare one night the day after tomorrow? Brother Lei invited us to his house."
Yan Han winked at Zhu Qianying, and Zhu Qianying immediately understood.
"Of course!" Zhu Qianying had heard about Mr. Lei's extensive collection before.
But at that time, I only listened to it. After all, we were from two different circles, and it was impossible for me to visit the other person's home.
Now that the opportunity is right in front of her, how could she let it slip by?
About ten minutes later, the emcee on stage gestured for the guests to take their seats according to the table numbers on their invitations, and announced that the charity auction would officially begin in ten minutes.
Zhu Qianying came as Cheng Ye's assistant, so naturally she should sit at the same table as Cheng Ye.
But who is Mr. Lei? He only needed to say a word to have the organizers arrange for Zhu Qianying to sit next to Yan Han.
The organizers also attached great importance to Yan Han, a super-rich man from China. Therefore, even though Zhu Qianying repeatedly said that she should sit back next to Cheng Ye, she ultimately stayed at Mr. and Mrs. Lei's table with Yan Han.
As for why she wanted to sit back next to Cheng Ye, firstly, it was for Cheng Ye's sake. Secondly, Yan Han was, after all, an amateur in this area, and sitting with him would be incredibly boring.
Sure enough, once the auction began, the conversations between Yan Han and her were mostly like this:
Do you like it? If you do, take a picture!
Don't like it? Why? Is it too expensive?
Finally, Zhu Qianying couldn't help but take out her phone and quickly sent him a message: "Sir, could you please let me admire this in peace? I just want to look, I don't intend to buy it!"
Just kidding, how could an ordinary person like her afford jewelry and antiques that fetch millions at auction?
Yan Han came with the intention of spending a fortune to win a smile from the beauty, but his plan not only failed to win her smile, but instead earned her deep disdain.
Yan Han looked down at the information on the screen and felt that the entire screen was filled with two large characters.
You bumpkin!
