"Watching a show?"
Zhu Qianying asked, not quite understanding, but her gaze followed his movements to the big screen.
On the big screen, nine different small images appeared like a 3x3 grid.
"Yes, to watch the show!" Qin Xiu said with absolute certainty.
Zhu Qianying looked at the picture very carefully a few more times, but because the picture was too small, she could not see the real content inside.
"Who is the director? Young Master Yan?"
Although she still couldn't grasp the essentials, Zhu Qianying was able to understand some of the main clues.
"Yes! Smart!" Qin Xiu said with a smile.
"So, the lead actor is?" Zhu Qianying was still confused, but when Qin Xiu zoomed in on a certain scene, she exclaimed in surprise, "It's Zhu Junwei?"
At this moment, Zhu Qianying simply assumed that Zhu Junwei had accidentally stumbled into the scene. After all, she didn't care about the Zhu family's petty affairs, so she had no interest in watching Zhu Junwei's performance.
Presumably, Young Master Yan understands this as well.
"Yes, he's the male lead!" Qin Xiu set Zhu Junwei's image as the main screen, while the other eight images were scaled and displayed side-by-side at the bottom.
As the screen zoomed in, Zhu Qianying finally saw clearly that Zhu Junwei, dressed in casual and fashionable clothes, was sitting on a high stool in front of the bar, gently swirling the red wine in his glass.
Although she didn't care about the Zhu family's petty affairs, this was, after all, a play directed by Young Master Yan with great care. Although she didn't understand his intentions yet, Zhu Qianying still decided to support him. After all, everyone has a gossipy heart.
Therefore, she took the juice Qin Xiu handed her and drank it slowly, waiting for the show to begin.
Zhu Junwei stood alone in front of the bar, seemingly calm and composed. If Zhu Qianying hadn't connected the scene with what she had just seen downstairs, she would have assumed he was simply enjoying a leisurely drink at home.
About ten minutes later, Zhu Junwei's relaxed demeanor finally changed. He turned around, smiled at the person behind him, and asked, "All done?"
"Hmm!" A clear female voice came out, and then a woman who appeared to be wearing a bathrobe entered the frame.
Zhu Qianying frowned slightly. Could it be that Young Master Yan wanted her to come and see Zhu Junwei's harmonious life?
She doesn't have that bad habit!
Suppressing her discomfort, Zhu Qianying continued to stare at the screen intently to see what was going on.
It seems that Young Master Yan shouldn't have such a perverse sense of humor, going to such lengths to let her spy on Zhu Junwei's private life. There must be more to it than meets the eye.
With this thought, Zhu Qianying calmed down again.
Just as she was struggling with her thoughts, the woman in the bathrobe walked to the bar, grabbed the bar counter, and sat down on the bar stool with a thud.
A moment later, the woman turned her face, and Zhu Qianying couldn't help but exclaim, "Yi Wei?!"
Compared to Zhu Qianying's startled reaction, Qin Xiu, sitting next to her, seemed quite interested and in high spirits, eager to watch the show.
"That's right, it's Yi Wei!"
"Are Yi Wei and Zhu Junwei a couple?"
No wonder Zhu Qianying thought that way. After all, Yi Wei's clothes were half open and she looked extremely lazy. Anyone who saw this would have made the same guess.
Before Qin Xiu could answer, Zhu Junwei on the screen handed a half-filled glass of wine to Yi Wei, asking, "Are you nervous?"
Yi Wei patted her chest, flicked a strand of hair with her finger, and then accepted the wine from Zhu Junwei.
"Yes! I'm very nervous!"
Such a conversation only fueled further speculation, but Qin Xiu refuted Zhu Qianying's conjecture.
"No way..."
In many things, he didn't actually know much more than Zhu Qianying, but he did know the true relationship between Zhu Junwei and Yi Wei. After all, Yan Shao had explained it to him briefly beforehand, and although it was extremely simple, he knew more than Zhu Qianying did.
Okay, I guess I was overthinking it!
Zhu Qianying silently curved the corners of her lips, a hint of sarcasm clearly appearing in her eyes.
She's not a child anymore. Does she really think that just because a man and a woman roll around in bed and do *that*, they're a couple?
What kind of ancient ideas does she have?
How anachronistic!
After such self-reproach, the couple on the screen did not engage in any intimate contact as she had imagined; they simply clinked glasses and drank their wine.
"Don't be nervous, trust me, after tonight, he/she will be yours!"
Him? Or her?
Who is it?
"Yes, thank you!" Yi Wei said her thanks very sincerely, and then took a small sip of wine.
Zhu Junwei handed over the cup and took a small sip. "What are you thanking me for? In the end, it's because I didn't handle things properly enough. Back then, when I knew Zhu Qianying was in the US, I was only focused on dealing with her and forgot to investigate her background. I really didn't expect that she was pregnant when she ran away!"
Upon hearing Zhu Junwei's words, not only Zhu Qianying but also Qin Xiu were so shocked that they opened their mouths and were speechless.
Holy crap!
Could it be that the threats and intimidation I received in the United States a few months ago were the work of Zhu Junwei?
In an instant, Zhu Qianying's mind was filled with a whirlwind of thoughts!
She always thought that it was just another jewelry store owner who desperately wanted to ruin her.
But she never expected that even though she had run so far away to the United States and had no connection with the Zhu family anymore, the Zhu family still wouldn't let her go!
"In the end, if I hadn't encouraged the jewelry store owner to intimidate Zhu Qianying, she probably wouldn't have sent that brat back to China, and all these troubles wouldn't have happened!"
Zhu Junwei's words clearly told Zhu Qianying that the mastermind behind everything she encountered in the United States was not the jewelry store owner, but her own brother, Zhu Junwei!
"This isn't really your fault! Anyone would be so stupid, right? Tsk, she's really going all out! She actually took the heir of the Yan family, worth hundreds of billions, to the US to be a lousy designer! I don't know whether to call her stupid or praise her for being aloof!"
After drinking two small glasses of wine, Yi Wei's expression visibly relaxed, and she spoke much more casually. When talking about Zhu Qianying, she made no attempt to hide her disdain and contempt.
His expression was just as annoying as the one he showed Zhu Qianying that night in the jewelry store!
"Whether she's foolish or aloof, the fact is, she's already exhausted Young Master Yan's patience! If it weren't for wanting to get that young master of the Yan family back, where would Young Master Yan get the patience to coax and fawn over her? Think about it, if someone with Young Master Yan's personality treats you like this, how much patience can he have for other women? If it weren't for his son, he probably would have already broken ties with her!"
Zhu Junwei on the screen spoke with absolute certainty, but his words made Qin Xiu extremely anxious!
"Shadow, don't listen to his nonsense! My feelings for you are genuine, and it's definitely not like he says, that I'm only nice to you for Zai Zai's sake!"
