"Mom, this is just a small favor for Yan Shao. Besides, you are Zizai's mother-in-law. Helping your son's mother-in-law is his duty. After all, you raised him with great care."
Zhu Qianying's analysis is not without reason.
But Chen Jing still felt something was off. "Ying'er, tell Mom honestly, are you and Young Master Yan getting together?"
Unlike his previous immediate denials, this time there was silence on the other end of the phone.
Chen Jing thought the call had been disconnected. Just as she couldn't resist checking the call status, her eldest daughter's voice finally came through the receiver.
"Mom, don't talk nonsense!"
The eldest daughter's voice was very calm, revealing no clues. However, Chen Jing's intuition told her that something must have happened between her eldest daughter and Yan Shao in the past few days.
As for what it is, as a mother, it's best to avoid asking too many questions for now and just observe how things develop.
After hanging up with her eldest daughter, Chen Jing called Ji Huan again.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
"Xiao Huan, Xiao Yu caught a cold? Why didn't you tell me?"
If her eldest daughter hadn't mentioned it, Chen Jing would have had no idea about it.
For ordinary people, a cold is just a minor illness, but for pregnant women and babies, it is not a minor illness.
"Mom, Xiaoyu is fine now, so I didn't tell you."
Ji Huan also had a tough time, keeping it a secret from both his mother-in-law and wife.
However, the men of the Ji family have always been responsible men, and they are quite adept at this kind of thing.
"Okay, you can focus on taking care of Xiaoyu. Your brother Yan said he'll handle everything at the shop, which is good, so you don't have to run around between the two places."
In fact, for someone of Ji Huan's status, the publicity for a small restaurant could be arranged perfectly with just a phone call.
However, Ji Huan was simply giving Yan Shao the chance to please his mother-in-law.
"Is that so? Okay, then I'll stay here and take care of Xiaoyu."
Ji Huan's acting skills were also perfect, leaving Chen Jing with no reason to doubt them.
"Young Master Yan, I'm counting on you for the publicity! Thank you!"
After Chen Jing finished looking at the "braised ingredients," she readily entrusted the matter to Young Master Yan.
"Mom, besides the advertising, is there anything else I can help with? I know some food suppliers, and if you need, I can introduce you to them."
Of course, Yan Shao could simply make a few phone calls to ask the other party to take better care of his mother-in-law.
But after spending time together and getting to know each other, Yan Shao has gradually come to understand that everyone has their own dignity and bottom line, which cannot be touched by others.
Some things that seem ridiculous to him may be very important to others.
After her phone call with her eldest daughter, Chen Jing was no longer as resistant to Yan Shao's offer of help.
"Okay, I'll see if I need anything and then I'll bother you again."
Yan Shao naturally noticed that Chen Jing's attitude had changed drastically after she came out of the kitchen. He guessed that she hadn't been looking at the ingredients at all, but had been calling Zhu Qianying.
Speaking of Zhu Qianying, that girl has been away on a business trip for two days, and there has been no news of her at all.
She's quite composed!
Yan Shao was secretly annoyed, not knowing whether he was annoyed by Zhu Qianying's carefree attitude or annoyed that he was still playing this probing trick even after things had come to this.
"Mom, has Ying'er called you these past two days?"
Yan Shao held onto a sliver of hope, thinking that perhaps the girl was too busy to make a phone call.
"Yes, she calls every night to chat. She probably calls Sister Huai and Zizai too!"
At this moment, Yan Shao has suffered far more than ten thousand points of damage.
My mother is so disloyal; she wouldn't even let him listen to Ying'er's calls.
Well, he admitted, thinking about things that way made him feel a little better.
"Oh, I've been quite busy these past two days, working overtime the whole time. When I got home last night, my son was already asleep."
After returning from the seaside villa, Zizai went back to the Yan family home with Yan Shao.
"Um, are you coming home for dinner tonight? I invited Zizai over for dinner tonight!"
"Sure, I just finished what I was doing and I'm free!"
It has to be said that after eating the dishes made by Chen Jing and Zhu Qianying, the food cooked by the chefs of the Yan family was simply unpalatable to Yan Shao.
Yan Shao lingered in the restaurant for more than half an hour before rushing back to Yanhuang.
When Qin Xiu saw him, his expression was exaggeratedly as if he had seen a ghost.
"Sir, didn't you say you had something to do this afternoon? Why are you back again?"
Could it be that they've been arguing again?
Qin Xiu was unaware that Zhu Qianying was on a business trip; otherwise, he wouldn't have made that guess.
"You talk too much. Hurry up and finish everything. I need to go home and be with my son tonight!"
Qin Xiu stared at Yan Shao's retreating figure and rolled his eyes. "You're making it sound like you're the only one who needs to spend time with your son. I also need to go home to be with my wife and children!"
Yan Shao ignored him, strode into the office, and efficiently handled official business.
Yan Shao thought that Zhu Qianying was determined not to call him, but unexpectedly, when he was busy until four or five o'clock, the phone suddenly rang, and it was a private call.
Yan Shao assumed it was a phone call from home, picked up the phone and answered directly, "What is it?"
"Young Master Yan, my mother told me that you were in charge of all the publicity for her restaurant's opening, is that right?"
Zhu Qianying's voice came out of the microphone unexpectedly, startling Yan Shao.
"Ying'er?"
"Yes, it's me! Who else did you think it was?"
Zhu Qianying's voice clearly carried a hint of amusement.
"I thought it was my mom!" Young Master Yan was honest, but he regretted it after saying it.
Sure enough, a series of "hahahaha" laughs came from the other end of the phone, which lasted for about ten seconds before finally stopping.
"I don't have a son that young and accomplished, and besides, my son isn't that old!"
Yan Shao frowned slightly. This wasn't the first time he'd heard Zhu Qianying say that old man.
Could it be that, in her eyes, she really is old?
That shouldn't be the case. With his handsome appearance, if he wore a school uniform and stood among high school students, he would look like a vibrant high school student in no time. How could he look old?
"Where am I old? It's Qin Xiu who's truly old!"
Qin Xiu next door sneezed and got caught in the crossfire!
Zhu Qianying laughed again, "Alright, I won't tease you anymore, let's get down to business!"
Yan Shao's lips twitched. So, all those words he just said were just to tease him?
This girl, is she asking for a beating?
“I think my mom’s ideas are pretty good, but there are two or three details that I think need to be changed. I’ve already changed them and sent them to your email. As for whether to change them or not, that’s your decision.”
