After the wedding photos were taken, Yan Shao disappeared silently from Zhu Qianying's life, just like before.
Zhu Qianying didn't find this difficult at all. Apart from going out once a day to visit Xing Bailun in the hospital, she stayed at home all day surfing the internet and doing what she liked.
Chen Jing has recently become completely free, and she can't help but become curious about her daughter's relationship with Yan Shao.
For so many days, except for the day of the wedding photo shoot, Chen Jing has hardly seen her daughter come home at night. She goes out once every day at noon and comes back in the afternoon.
Presumably, during his workdays, Young Master Yan wouldn't be able to go on dates with her, right?
"Ying'er, don't you and Young Master Yan usually go out on dates?"
"He's away on a business trip," Zhu Qianying gave her mother an answer that made it difficult for her to ask any further questions.
Chen Jing hadn't really taken care of her two daughters before. Now, although she was worried, she didn't know how to express it. She was also afraid of saying something wrong and causing trouble for her daughters. Seeing that her daughters didn't want to talk about it, she didn't dare to ask any more questions.
Xing Bolun stayed in the hospital for a week, and his external injuries had basically healed. He then started clamoring to be discharged.
Zhu Qianying and Qi Xiao picked him up from the hospital. His leg was still in a cast, making it difficult for him to move around. The Xing family members were naturally worried about him staying in the apartment by himself, so they took him back to the Xing family to recuperate.
After Xing Bailun was discharged from the hospital, Zhu Qianying stayed at home all day until Friday. Then, she received a message from Yan Shao asking her to go to his house the next day to prepare lunch for him.
Looking at the message, Zhu Qianying laughed self-deprecatingly.
Is there really such a thing as destiny?
My mother has been Zhu Zhizhou's cook for over twenty years, and now I'm about to become the Yan family's young master's full-time cook, at his beck and call.
However, as a full-time cook, my salary is much, much higher than that of my mother, who is a free cook.
From offering services for free to earning 100 million in salaries, wouldn't you call that progress?
Zhu Qianying nestled in her chair, barely managing to stop laughing. She wiped away the tears that had welled up in her eyes from laughing so hard, and replied to Yan Shao with two words, "Okay!"
I thought this Friday would be just like any other ordinary Friday, but in the middle of the night, I received a call from my younger sister, Zhu Qianyu.
When she answered the phone, she assumed her sister was just chatting and catching up on everyday things.
Unexpectedly, her sister dropped a bombshell on her during the phone call.
My younger sister, Zhu Qianyu, is in love!
Of course, the bombshell wasn't about Zhu Qianyu's love life. It was that her love interest was none other than Ji Huan, the second young master of the Ji family, one of the wealthiest families in the country!
Although Zhu Qianying was not in business, she knew about Nan Ji and Bei Yang.
Nanji refers to the Ji Group in R City, while Beiyang refers to the Yang Group in Beijing.
Thirty years ago, the Ji and Yang families were two major enterprises that kept to themselves and each dominated their own territories.
Then, Ji Rui, the current president of Ji's Group, fell in love with his secretary. When they reached the point of discussing marriage, he learned that his secretary, Le Tong, was the long-lost granddaughter of the former chairman of the Yang Group in the north. Moreover, Ji Rui was a close friend of Yang Sheng, the grandson of the former chairman of the Yang Group.
After Ji Rui and Le Tong got married, Yang Sheng took over the Yang family business. The Ji family and the Yang family became in-laws and business partners, jointly developing many new markets, both domestically and internationally, and increasing their total assets nearly tenfold in the past twenty years.
Before marrying Letong, Ji Rui already had a son. Before marriage, he adopted a girl and soon after marriage, he had another son, Ji Yu, and a younger son, Ji Huan. His adopted daughter, Ji Sihan, married Ji Yu two years ago and now has twins.
Besides these, what the upper class talked about was that the two sons of the Ji family were geniuses from a young age, graduating from prestigious universities in their teens and returning directly to the Ji family to take over the family business. As for the character of the two sons of the Ji family, it is said that they are just like their father, Ji Rui, and are famously good men.
Zhu Qianying finally calmed down. "What about that married man you mentioned before? He's not bothering you anymore, is he?" Zhu Qianying had been thinking about this matter.
"Sister, actually, that person is Ji Huan," Zhu Qianyu said on the other end of the phone, sounding quite embarrassed.
"Pfft, silly girl, Ji Huan isn't married, he doesn't even have a girlfriend." It wasn't that Zhu Qianying was gossiping, but rather that the Ji brothers were just too famous among a group of rich kids.
"Yes, it's all a misunderstanding. The first time I met Ji Huan, he was with his brother's twins, and I always mistakenly thought they were his children..."
Zhu Qianying sighed inwardly. This kind of silly mistake was indeed something her naive younger sister would do.
"So, he's been pursuing you for over half a year?"
It seems that my naive little sister has finally met someone who recognizes her talent.
"Yes, I always thought he was a married man, so of course I always rejected him."
In her heart, Zhu Qianying lit a long row of candles for Ji Huan. "Xiaoyu, I suddenly feel sorry for Ji Huan."
More than an hour later, Zhu Qianyu, who had finished having a late-night snack with Ji Huan, bought some more snacks and came back. While eating, Zhu Qianying chatted with her sister about Ji Huan and his family background.
After a detailed conversation, she realized that her silly younger sister had no sense of having found a treasure at all.
All she knew was that Ji Huan was the second young master of the Ji family; otherwise, she knew nothing about the Ji family or the Ji clan.
Such a foolish younger sister is lucky to have met a good man like Ji Huan. If she had met a scumbag like her father, she might have repeated her mother's mistakes.
"Sister, Ji Huan asked if you have time tomorrow. He wants to invite you to dinner." Zhu Qianyu sat on the armrest of her chair, holding her hand and massaging it.
"Then let's do it tomorrow night. I have an appointment with Young Master Yan in the morning."
The two sisters chatted for a while longer before Zhu Qianying remembered something very important.
"Xiaoyu, for now, it's just between you and Ji Huan, and his family knows about your relationship. Most importantly, don't let your father know, otherwise..."
Zhu Qianying recalled what her father had done to Young Master Yan, unsure whether to feel chilled or mocking. Fortunately, Young Master Yan was no saint; for her father to gain any advantage over him would be an impossible task.
But she didn't know much about the Ji family, and she was afraid that Xiaoyu's rare good marriage would be ruined by her father's greed and selfishness.
"Sister, I know, Ji Huan... he also has a very bad impression of my father..."
Mentioning this, Zhu Qianyu seemed a little downcast, and it appeared that she was somewhat self-conscious.
Zhu Qianying noticed that her younger sister was not in a good mood, so she reached out, gently hugged her, and patted her back.
“Fool, if he loves you enough, he will naturally weigh the pros and cons and find a way to resolve this.”
