Chapter 155: Making Him Worry
Chapter 155: Chapter 155: Making Him Worry
Yan was patiently listening to Zhu Qianying’s account, fixing his gaze on her, he asked, "You think I would promise to be their guarantor?"
Zhu Qianying fell silent, just quietly looking at him, tacitly agreeing to his guess.
Yan ruffled her hair vigorously, laughing as he scolded her, "You’re silly. You are my wife. They are so disgusting and twisted. Why should I help them?"
Having said that, he petulantly tweaked her cheek, venting his dissatisfaction.
In fact, from a rational perspective, Zhu Qianying also thought he wouldn’t. After all, he had previously refused the Zhu Family’s requests several times and directly rejected their loan application.
If he really wanted to promise something, he would certainly have the Tong Family’s finance company loan money to Zhu Family. In this case, at least he could make a lot of profit.
Yan, being such a shrewd person, could not possibly overlook this point.
The problem was, aside from the reason of Yan promising them something, Zhu Qianying couldn’t find any other reason that could make the Zhu Family behave so orderly!
"I just couldn’t figure it out. Those people, if there is no attractive benefit, they don’t mind doing some things that harm others and are not beneficial to themselves just to disgust me."
Yan shook his head with a laugh, "Little girl, you think too much! They are not fools, why would they offend the Ji Family and me just to annoy you?"
Seeing Yan’s confidence, Zhu Qianying couldn’t say anything else.
After all, from a normal perspective, unless one is a fool, they won’t offend the Yan Family and the Ji Family, the two major clans, just to irritate her.
But the problem is, the Zhu Family, these people, cannot be judged by normal standards!
This was Zhu Qianying’s conclusion made after living in the Zhu Family for twenty years.
Unwilling to talk more about the Zhu Family, Yan began to show concern for her other matters.
"By the way, what are you planning to do with that one hundred million? Do you plan to keep it in the bank for interest, or for investment?"
The two hundred million in betrothal gifts was split in half on the wedding day and transferred to Zhu Zhizhou and Chen Jing’s accounts.
As for the one hundred million that was originally supposed to be transferred to Zhu Qianying’s account but ended up in Chen Jing’s account, it was Zhu Qianying’s idea, and Yan had no objection to it.
"Keeping it a secret for now!"
Zhu Qianying had already planned to use most of this money to buy Mingxuan Group’s shares.
First of all, Mingxuan’s stock price is currently low, which makes it a good time to buy.
Secondly, she wanted to hold as many shares of Mingxuan as possible. In addition to an investment, it’s also a way to irritate the Zhu Family.
"Hmm, if you have any ideas or something you don’t understand, you can ask me!"
Rarely was Yan so considerate, willingly acting as a free teacher. However, Zhu Qianying just perfunctorily nodded in agreement, positioning herself away from his embrace.
Some things, she saw very clearly.
Yan was currently fond of her. Naturally, he was willing to spend more time with her.
But she had to be on guard at all times, fearing that she would gradually become accustomed to his care under his unconscious pampering, and thus, lose her ability to be independent, and in the long run, become a caged canary.
It’s not that Zhu Qianying was perverse, deliberately pushing him away when he showed her love and affection.
Rather, it’s because she understands too clearly that Yan’s current affection for her, including all the tender, considerate, and caring actions, are all based on physical pleasure. Once his infatuation with her fades and his interest wanes, he will probably revert to his old cold and mercurial self.
Therefore, she would rather not have this short-lived care and indulgence.
Of course, she has considered trying to vie for him. After all, Yan, as a man, disregarding his capricious personality, is outstanding both in appearance and personality to a point where one can’t take their eyes off him.
But after considering it for a while, she still firmly believed that there are many things in the world that can be obtained through hard work, but feelings are not one of them.
Take her mother for instance, who tried hard for twenty years, but in the end, she ended up without affection, status, or money. Such a huge loss!
Zhu Qianying glanced at the wall clock and seized the opportunity to get away completely from his embrace.
"I’ll go check if dinner is ready!"
"Go ahead!"
Yan steadied her by holding her waist, then slapped her buttocks. As he expected, his prank earned him a fierce roll of the eyes from her.
Yan watched her walk away, laughing. Suddenly recalling something, he called out to her retreating figure, "I’m heading to H City tomorrow. Do you want to come along? I can have someone accompany you around."
Yan was unexpectedly compassionate, fearing she would become sick from boredom staying at home.
But his kindness was unceremoniously rejected by Zhu Qianying. Without turning her head, she waved her hand dismissively, "No... "
Yan made a sound of disappointment, "Really not adorable!"
Indeed, if she were to be judged by public standards, she would definitely fall below the pass line.
She seemed to lack the gentleness that a woman should have.
The frail and lovable appearance that a woman should have is even further from her.
The instinctive dependency women have on men also seemed nonexistent in her. She always acted alone and took on everything herself.
Despite all this, it was her unknowable charm that somehow made him start to worry about her!
"Yan, my mother brewed some soup today and the chef also made soup. Which one do you want to drink?"
It just so happened that at the moment Yan was silently criticizing Zhu Qianying in his heart, she came back and stood at a distance asking him loud and clear.
"Drink the one your mother made!" Yan answered without thinking.
This mother-in-law of his had a personality that wasn’t very likeable but her cooking was exceptional.
Up until now, as picky as he was and having tasted various gourmet foods, he still hadn’t found a chef better than her.
He had to admit, in certain ways, she was truly a talent. It’s a pity that she had been wasted and neglected by Zhu Zhizhou.
"Yan, since you are going to H City tomorrow, I want to go home to keep my mother company. She’s quite lonely."
As for the so-called honeymoon, she and he wouldn’t have anything of that sort. However, being newly-wed was a fact. Reporting one’s whereabouts is a form of respect for the partner.
Of course, the premise is, he also respects her.
And he had just reported his whereabouts for tomorrow to her which meant that she really shouldn’t sneak home.
Besides, her going home to accompany her mother is a matter of course, there’s nothing that she can’t talk about.
"Hmm, go ahead. You can drive any car in the garage, but it’s best to have a driver take you there."
It was out of concern for her safety that Yan suggested she let the driver take her home.
After all, one cannot afford to take the Zhu Family lightly.
"Okay, I’ll trouble Uncle Hai to arrange it for me tomorrow."
Having stayed with the Yan Family for a few days, Zhu Qianying had basically gotten to know everyone, but she wasn’t used to giving orders to these people.
Ultimately, she still considered herself as an outsider.
"Why the trouble? Uncle Hai is supposed to serve you. Wherever you want to go, just tell Uncle Hai. He will naturally arrange everything."
