Brother Wang helped the mother and daughter carry their bags home. Once back in his car, he called Young Master Yan to report the situation.
"She went to buy furniture, and this is all she bought?"
On the other end of the phone, Yan Shao had a mountain of documents piled up in front of him. He was flipping through the documents while listening attentively as Brother Wang listed the so-called "furniture" that Zhu Qianying and her daughter had bought.
"Yes, and... Miss Fifth won't let me pay..."
Brother Wang was very apprehensive, fearing that the young master would scold him for not being able to handle even such a small matter.
"Um."
Yan Shao didn't blame Brother Wang, because when he gave the instructions, his intuition told him that Zhu Qianying would most likely not accept his good intentions.
Therefore, what Brother Wang said was actually something he had expected.
Even though it was expected, he still felt a little uncomfortable.
As for why he felt this uncomfortable feeling of being stuck by something, he didn't really investigate it.
"Young Master, when we came back just now, we saw a few people acting suspiciously in the neighborhood. We don't know if they were people sent by the Zhu family."
As for Brother Wang, he was very conscientious. When the young master and Uncle Hai told him to keep a close eye on the future young mistress's safety, he was like a radar, activating all his vigilance.
"Okay, keep a close eye on things. If needed, call Qin Xiu and ask him to send a few more people over."
After hanging up the phone, Yan Shao thought for a moment and then personally dialed the internal line to call Qin Xiu in.
"Sir, I haven't finished preparing the documents yet! Give me another half hour!" Qin Xiu shouted as soon as he entered the room, carrying a huge stack of documents.
Yan Shao glanced at him. "Who asked you for the information? Send more people to keep an eye on Zhu Qianying's side, and make sure she doesn't find out."
Zhu Qianying and Chen Jing moved out of the Zhu family home, a fact Qin Xiu knew about even earlier than Yan Shao.
Because he was ordered to keep a close eye on Zhu Qianying's every word and action.
Yesterday, he told his grandfather that Zhu Qianying and Chen Jing had left the Zhu family with lots of bags and packages, and his grandfather just gave a cold and indifferent "oh".
Qin Xiu thought that the master didn't care, but who knew that in the evening, the master, who had originally agreed to have dinner together, left him without saying a word after looking at his phone.
Later, Qin Xiu learned from the driver that the master had left in a hurry to go find Zhu Qianying!
They care about it terribly, but they pretend not to care.
Sir, do you have to be so awkward?!
She's even more awkward and arrogant than Zhu Qianying, that grown-up girl!
Qin Xiu dared only vent his complaints and disdain in his heart. On the surface, he still responded respectfully and left with the heavy stack of documents.
Actually, Wang Ge saw those people, and so did Zhu Qianying.
However, she didn't plan to tell Young Master Yan.
Anyway, she and her mother bought a lot of food and supplies, so even if she stayed in the house for a week without going out, it wouldn't be a problem. Even if those people wanted to mess with her, they wouldn't know where to start.
After Chen Jing returned, she started bustling around in the kitchen. Zhu Qianying didn't pay much attention at first, but when she finished washing and drying the newly bought sheets and blankets, and her mother was still fiddling around in the kitchen, she began to wonder.
"Mom, it's just the two of us eating lunch. What are you doing?" Zhu Qianying leaned in through the door frame to see what was going on.
Chen Jing was chopping up a soft-shelled turtle with a knife, not even looking up. "Young Master Yan doesn't look too good. I'll make him some soft-shelled turtle soup. I'll have Brother Wang take it over later."
Zhu Qianying sighed and rubbed her forehead. "Mom! The Yan family has a full-time chef and a very responsible housekeeper. Besides, he has tons of money. He can eat and drink whatever he wants. And you are his elder. He should be the one to be filial to you! Why should you be the one to please him?"
Zhu Qianying was quite helpless. She had finally managed to get her mother to face reality and escape the clutches of her scumbag father. Could it be that she had fallen into a new pit so quickly?
Mom no longer grovels before Dad, but instead fawns over Young Master Yan?
Chen Jing turned to her and smiled, "Silly girl, this isn't about trying to please me, it's about showing concern! He's your future husband, and he's practically my son too. There's nothing wrong with me showing concern for my son's health, is there?"
Zhu Qianying leaned against her mother's back, pouting and huffing, "Mom, I'm jealous!"
Chen Jing laughed even more heartily, "What are you jealous of? I didn't just cook one bowl, I cooked a whole pot. Half for you, half for Yan Shao."
For once, Zhu Qianying couldn't find the words to refute her mother.
Alright, alright, since Mom wants to treat that fussy young master as half a son, she can't object.
After all, it was she herself who kept misleading her mother, making her believe that she and Young Master Yan were actually a loving couple, just like Xiaoyu and Young Master Ji.
Around 3 PM, Yan Shao was quite surprised to see Brother Wang carrying a bag upstairs.
"Why didn't you stay over there and do your job? What are you doing here?" As she spoke, her face clearly fell.
"Young Master, Madam Zhu said you've been working too hard, so she made you some soup and afternoon tea snacks, and specially asked me to bring them over!"
The people Qin Xiu had arranged to secretly protect Zhu Qianying and her daughter were already in place, which is why Brother Wang was able to get away and deliver the soup and snacks to Chen Jing.
The coldness on Yan Shao's face immediately melted away, and the corners of his lips slightly lifted.
"Did her mother make this especially for me?"
Brother Wang nodded, "Yes, that's exactly what Madam Bamboo said."
While saying this, Brother Wang was thinking to himself, "Why has my young master suddenly become so stupid?" Anyone can say such polite words. As for whether Chen Jing did it specifically for her young master, only Chen Jing herself knows.
He was merely ordered to deliver the food and relay the message; whether or not to believe it was the young master's business.
"Alright, you can go back now." Yan Shao checked the time; it was almost four o'clock. He got up to wash his face.
Brother Wang entered the reception room, placed the snacks and soup bowls on the coffee table one by one, and turned to come out. Just then, Young Master Yan came out after washing his face.
"Madam Zhu made a lot of snacks. She said that if you can't finish them, you should share some with your subordinates."
Yan Shao originally looked down on his future mother-in-law, and of course, was also very dissatisfied with her.
But in just two days, his opinion of Chen Jing changed drastically.
Indeed, to win a man's heart, all you need to do is win him over through his stomach!
A moment later, Qin Xiu, the so-called subordinate and all-around special assistant, with his mouth full of snack crumbs, gave Young Master Yan a thumbs up.
"Sir, your mother-in-law's cooking is absolutely amazing!"
Normally, Yan Shao always felt that Qin Xiu spoke exaggeratedly, but this time, he didn't feel that there was any exaggeration in his words.
"Sir, now that your mother-in-law has left the Zhu family, with her skills, if she invests some money to open a high-end restaurant, I guarantee the business will be booming. Maybe in a few years, Mingxuan's position as the dominant player in the catering industry will be taken away!"
