It has to be said that Yan Shao's self-written and self-acted drama has attracted a lot of attention.
Zhu Qianying leaned close to Yan Shao in a sweet, affectionate tone, while casually glancing at the Zhu family. Those faces, usually filled with disdain, now held a complex mix of disdain and something else entirely.
It seems there is hatred, and even envy and jealousy!
Zhu Qianying felt that she was really being disrespectful. She had come to visit her injured and sick biological father, but she didn't feel any sadness at all. On the contrary, she felt a secret pleasure and self-satisfaction as if she had gotten revenge.
While showing off her love, Zhu Qianying was also reflecting on herself, wondering if she, as a daughter, was too unfilial.
Zhu Haokang, the son of the second concubine Wei Ruoman, seemed to be unable to bear it any longer and coughed twice to remind her.
"Cough cough... Young Master Yan, this is a hospital..."
Yan Shao put his hand on Zhu Qianying's waist, pulled her closer to him, and glared at Zhu Haokang with raised eyebrows.
"I like it, so who does it bother?"
Zhu Haokang shrank back, turned his face away, and dared not utter another word.
The examination room door opened at that moment, and Zhu Junzhao pushed Zhu Zhizhou out, accompanied by two or three medical staff.
Chen Jing was anxious to go and check on Zhu Zhizhou's injuries, but Zhu Qianying pulled her back, saying, "Mom, don't rush."
At this point, the older aunts, second aunts, and third aunts will definitely fawn over Dad first. If your own mother tries to rush in at this time, she'll be ostracized.
As expected, as soon as Zhu Shaofen and the others saw Zhu Zhizhou come out, they immediately swarmed around him like bees to a flower.
Despite having his arm in a cast, Zhu Zhizhou's gaze bypassed everyone and landed precisely on Yan Shao's face.
"Young Master Yan! You're so thoughtful!"
Yan Shao first nodded slightly, then accompanied Zhu Qianying and Chen Jing to stand in front of Zhu Zhizhou, looking down at Zhu Zhizhou with a condescending and cold gaze.
"I just came with Aunt Jing and Shadow!"
The implication is clear: I'm not here to see you; I'm just accompanying my future mother-in-law and future wife. Please don't get the wrong idea.
Zhu Zhizhou had probably encountered too many setbacks with Yan Shao and was used to it. Despite being treated so disrespectfully, he was not angry at all, and his face was full of smiles.
"I'm so sorry, Young Master Yan, you're so busy, and I'm troubled to personally bring them here. Ying'er, you're really so inconsiderate!"
Zhu Zhizhou put on that nauseatingly loving father face again, looking at Zhu Qianying with a half-smile and a half-annoyance, as if he was scolding her for her youthful ignorance, or as if he was proud of his daughter for being so capable that she could be personally picked up and dropped off by such an important figure as Young Master Yan.
Zhu Qianying remained silent. Yan Shao glanced at her and continued, "I told her to be careful when she goes out. There are rabid dogs running around lately. She and Aunt Jing are both frail women, so I was worried and had to come with her."
Even a fool could tell that the "mad dogs running all over the street" in Yan Shao's words were a reference to the Zhu family in front of him.
Zhu Zhizhou's expression changed slightly, and his two sons, who had been standing behind him, Zhu Junzhao and Zhu Haokang, also immediately changed their expressions.
Before Zhu Zhizhou could speak, Zhu Haokang spoke up indignantly.
"Young Master Yan, have you forgotten that my father is your future father-in-law? Watch your mouth, okay?"
Yan Shao slightly curved his lips, forcing out a mocking smile.
"To be honest, I also feel that these words are dirty to my mouth, but I don't have the ability to call white black or red purple. You want me to clean my mouth? Sure! Clean yourselves up first, then let me speak!"
Zhu Haokang's face flushed red and then turned pale. He took a step forward, not knowing whether he wanted to argue or fight with Yan Shao, but was pulled back by Zhu Junzhao.
"Haokang!" Zhu Zhizhou also spoke up in time to stop his second son's impulsiveness.
"Young Master Yan, don't stand here, let's go inside and talk."
In Zhu Zhizhou's view, whatever Yan Shao's motives for coming here, the fact that he was willing to condescend to come shows that he still respects him as his future father-in-law.
As for what he said, isn't it true that people who are used to being high and mighty always speak in such an unpleasant and inconsiderate way?
After receiving "generous treatment" from Ji Huan, the second young master of the Ji family, Zhu Zhizhou didn't seem so unbearable when he looked at Yan Shao, his future son-in-law. He was just a little harsh in his words, unlike the second young master of the Ji family who directly took action!
Thinking of this, Takeshi felt a sharp pain in his arm and frowned slightly.
Chen Jing, who was standing in front of Zhu Zhizhou because of Yan Shao's special treatment, saw him suddenly frown and quickly leaned down, asking anxiously, "Zhizhou, does your hand hurt a lot? Should we call the doctor to prescribe some painkillers?"
Zhu Zhizhou glared at her first, then suddenly remembered that she had Yan Shao backing her up, so he smiled at her and said, "It doesn't hurt, it's nothing."
Zhu Qianying looked at her father's face, which was more like a grimace than a smile, and tugged at her mother, "Mom, Auntie and Brother are all here, what are you worrying about? You don't understand anything, don't cause trouble for Dad."
Clearly, Zhu Qianying is trying to distance herself from the matter. If anyone is going to get involved in her father's affairs, it should be her first wife, second wife, and his sons. When did it become the turn of her useless fourth wife and two young daughters to get involved?
These days, Chen Jing has been instilled with a lot of ideas by her daughter that women should be self-reliant and that women can live wonderful lives even without men. Now, reminded by her daughter, Chen Jing suddenly stood up straight and moved a little further away from Zhu Zhizhou.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Haokang glared fiercely at Zhu Qianying, "Zhu Qianying, if it weren't for your sister's boyfriend, would your father have gotten into this mess?"
Zhu Qianying chuckled at him, "Second brother, as the saying goes, every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt its debtor. This matter concerns the second young master of the Ji family and Father. I don't know who is right and who is wrong. If you have the guts, you can go and reason with him!"
Zhu Qianying had been sparring with Zhu Haokang for over a decade, so how could she not know that he, like his mother Wei Ruoman, was a treacherous and cowardly bully?
The mere mention of the title "Second Young Master of the Ji Family" was enough to make Zhu Haokang's legs go weak.
Sure enough, Zhu Haokang, who was unaware of the situation, was slightly taken aback. "The Ji family? The Ji family from the Ji Group?"
He had been traveling abroad for a long time, and if he hadn't received a call from his mother, he would still be enjoying himself with his girlfriend overseas.
Having just returned from abroad, all he knew was that the person who injured his father was Zhu Qianyu's boyfriend, but he hadn't had time to find out who Zhu Qianyu's boyfriend was.
Before Zhu Qianying could answer, Zhu Junzhao, who was beside him, tugged at him again and nodded slightly.
Zhu Haokang's expression changed drastically. He silently took a step back and stopped saying anything.
Takeshi quickly instructed his two sons to push him into the ward, and the others naturally followed.
