"Speak!" Young Master Yan didn't seem impatient at all.
Qin Xiu then mustered up his courage and said, "Sir, Miss Zhu was just singing karaoke with them..."
Yan Shao raised his eyelids and glanced at him, "Just?"
"..." Qin Xiu dared not continue.
"Try having your girlfriend put her arm around another man and sing 'Today You'll Marry Me' in front of you."
Qin Xiu immediately fell silent, lowered his head, and retreated without a sound.
If his girlfriend were to put her arm around another man and sing "Today You're Going to Marry Me" in front of him, he would be jealous, but not to the point of considering it a betrayal like his own father does.
But the premise is that I am just a special assistant, and the dignity of a special assistant may not be as precious as that of my master.
So, when he gets jealous, at most he'll just talk to his girlfriend about it and throw a little tantrum.
And his own master...
Qin Xiu dared not imagine what his master would do to the Xing family and the other families if he were truly jealous.
In his office, Qin Xiu pondered the matter, and at one point, he even took out his phone to remind Zhu Qianying. But then he thought, he was Young Master Yan's special assistant, and if he informed Zhu Qianying, he would be betraying his master.
He could only pray secretly that his master didn't care that much about Zhu Qianying.
She also secretly prayed that Zhu Qianying would be sensible and quickly appease her master's temper.
Otherwise, if my master really wanted to take action against the Xing family and the other families, I'm afraid those families wouldn't even know how they died.
Meanwhile, Zhu Qianying was at home packing her bags, preparing for a long trip.
In her view, last night's tenderness had calmed down all of Young Master Yan's anger.
The reason why Young Master Yan is so angry is simply due to his possessiveness. She has given him everything she could, so what more could he possibly want?
Besides, the wedding date has already been set, so there's not much for her to do now. She needs to take advantage of this free time to finish up what she has on hand.
This time, she didn't send a message to Young Master Yan to report her whereabouts. In her opinion, she was still a free person and didn't need to report every little detail to Young Master Yan.
However, before leaving, she told her mother that she was going to visit a friend and would probably be back in ten or twenty days.
The next day, Yan Shao asked Qin Xiu to call Zhu Qianying and ask her to make some snacks and deliver them to the Yan family home that evening. He was going out for a business dinner and probably wouldn't have enough to eat, so having some snacks with his parents at home would be perfect.
Without thinking much, Qin Xiu picked up the phone and dialed, only to be met with a message that the other party's phone was switched off.
"Master..."
Qin Xiu held the phone, looking at Yan Shao with fear.
"What?" Young Master Yan looked at him with displeasure.
"Miss Zhu...is your phone off?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Shao subconsciously took out his personal phone, unlocked it, but found no unread messages or missed calls.
Is that girl sick?
Yan Shao frowned slightly as he recalled his insatiable demands the night before.
"Ask her mother..." Although Yan Shao didn't have a good impression of Chen Jing, she was still better than Zhu Zhizhou.
Qin Xiu called the Zhu family and, after speaking with Chen Jing, turned to report to Yan Shao, "Master, Madam Zhu said that Miss Zhu has gone out to visit a friend and may not return for another ten or twenty days."
Yan Shao remained silent, continuing with his own tasks. After some time, he suddenly instructed Qin Xiu, "Find out the whereabouts of Xing Bailun and the others!"
Qin Xiu felt that he was no longer like a special assistant of Yanhuang Group, but rather like a detective of a private investigation agency, specializing in investigating extramarital affairs.
Even if he was unwilling to do something that would lower his status, how could he not do it when his master ordered it?
Fortunately, Xing Bailun and the other three young masters were influential figures in L City, and it was easy to find out their whereabouts with a simple inquiry.
"Sir, Young Master Xing is currently entertaining a foreign business group at the Mingxuan Hotel. Qi Xiao and the others are now meeting up for horseback riding at the western suburbs horse farm."
After Qin Xiu finished his report, he saw that his master's expression was normal, and he breathed a slight sigh of relief. Only when Young Master Yan waved for him to leave did he turn around and go about his own business.
With the Mid-Autumn Festival fast approaching, Old Madam Yan mentioned to Young Master Yan several times, "Son, please invite Ying'er over for dinner and to enjoy the moon together during the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Yan Shao said, "It's a rare occasion for the whole family to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together, why invite an outsider to make things awkward?"
Madam Yan was so angry that she ignored him for two days. She asked Uncle Hai to call the Zhu family, but the reply she received was that the Fifth Miss had gone on a trip and it was unknown when she would return.
"See? Ying'er must have been driven away by you!" Old Madam Yan could only blame her son for being so useless.
"What are you worried about? She won't run away!" Young Master Yan replied to his mother with great certainty.
This time, Zhu Qianying's departure was not due to being angered by Yan Shao, nor did she go abroad like before. Instead, she took a trip to the north.
She traveled to various second- and third-tier cities in the north, hoping to find a house in these cities to settle her mother and Xiaoyu.
Before, even with her mother's care, her mother was often bullied by the concubines and their children. Now that she's gone, she can't imagine how badly her mother, with her personality, would be bullied.
Originally, she had planned to use Yan Shao's influence to settle her mother and Xiao Yu, but after that night and hearing what Yan Shao said at her house, she realized that she had been too naive.
Yan Shao's relationship with her was nothing more than a transaction. Why would she think he would help her unconditionally?
Besides, in a sense, Young Master Yan is actually the same kind of person as his father.
To achieve one's goals, one will stop at nothing.
If I'm not careful, my mom will once again become the one who holds me back.
Therefore, in order to prevent Yan Shao from having the opportunity to use his mother as a hostage to blackmail him, it's better to do this behind everyone's back.
Of the one million yuan she had extorted from the older woman under the pretense of buying a car, she still had over 800,000 yuan left. To prevent others from discovering her whereabouts, she had Xing Bailun help her open a bank account using Xing Bailun's ID card just two days after receiving the money, and transferred all the money to that account.
After going around in circles, she felt much more at ease.
Because housing prices in northern cities are much lower than in coastal cities, 800,000 yuan is enough to buy a medium-sized apartment in a third-tier city.
Having been away from L City for more than half a month, Zhu Qianying finally bought an apartment in a third-tier city after looking at countless properties.
This fully furnished three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment, over 120 square meters, was sold for 750,000 yuan after a 5% discount from the supplier, paid in full.
Zhu Qianying used her younger sister Zhu Qianyu's ID card to obtain all the necessary documents and returned to L City a month later.
