Chapter 162: Chapter 162: If there’s no debt, what’s there to make up for?

Looking at him, Zhu Qianying didn’t hesitate before responding.

"I went and met with Qi Xiao at noon, then spent the afternoon accompanying my mother."

From Zhu Qianying’s perspective, her meeting with Qi Xiao was entirely appropriate and there was no need to hide it.

Having known Young Master Yan for some time, she was gradually getting to understand his nature.

That is, being straightforward is the best way, the more you hide, the more he will suspect.

Because he certainly wasn’t an easily fooled fool with ordinary IQ.

Upon hearing her straightforward answer, Young Master Yan’s gaze softened even more.

"Hmm, get up, it’s time to have dinner!"

Zhu Qianying assented again, and Young Master Yan watched her get out of bed and walk towards the bathroom, somehow letting out a sigh of relief.

The two of them were leisurely chatting about the weather and current affairs as they walked down the stairs. Then, during dinner, Zhu Qianying suddenly made a comment which confused Young Master Yan.

"Young Master Yan, thank you!"

Young Master Yan had never asked her about buying a house and was waiting see if she would explain it herself. Suddenly hearing her thank him made even an intelligent man like him feel confused.

She had clearly refused to buy a house from Qin Xiu, in fact, she had rejected his good intention of giving her an apartment.

So, what was she thanking him for?

Unable to figure out why she was thanking him, Young Master Yan looked at her with puzzlement.

"Thank me for what?"

"You remember the matter I was asking Qi Xiao about regarding my father? He asked me out today to discuss that."

"Hmm..." Young Master Yan responded and didn’t ask any more questions.

Obviously, Zhu Qianying’s thank you was directed towards the correct person.

After Mingxuan Hotel resubmitted loan applications to various banks yesterday, from yesterday to today, they continually received responses from various banks. They were still being rejected for the same reasons as before.

What did it mean that Mingxuan Hotel’s loan application was still being rejected after the union of Zhu and Yan families?

It meant that the Yan family unequivocally made it clear to all the major banks that the Zhu family’s economic activities have nothing to do with the Yan family.

"You told the banks about our situation, didn’t you? "

Why would Zhu Qianying come to such a conclusion?

Even though the Yan family had released a declaration before, at that time the Zhu family had no relationship with the Yan family. So, it was quite normal for the bank to disregard the Zhu family.

But after the union of Yan and Zhu families became fact, the statement’s persuasiveness was obviously not as strong as the fact of their marriage. Therefore, unless the Yan family particularly emphasized it, the major banks would not refuse so resolutely.

In terms of the Ji family, anyone with a brain would understand that they held the same attitude and position as the Yan family. They provide neither financial support nor involvement in the Zhu family’s domestic affairs.

Thus, even though everyone knows that two of the Zhu family’s daughters, one married into the Yan Family and the other is in a romantic relationship with the second young master of the Ji family, no bank dares to lend a hand to the Zhu family.

"Actually, the second young master of the Ji family did the same thing."

Young Master Yan’s response not only confirmed Zhu Qianying’s guess, but it also surprised her.

"How did you find out?" If she’s not mistaken, it seemed that Yan’s relationship with Ji Huan was quite ordinary, they didn’t seem like the type to call and chat casually.

"The cooperation between Yanhuang and the Ji family has been majorly overseen by the second young master of the Ji family recently, so I occasionally run into him."

Zhu Qianying heard her sister Xiao Yu mention this, but she didn’t take it to heart at the time, or rather, she didn’t think someone as clever as Young Master Yan would get along with the young Master Ji.

Because no matter how you look at it, these two are not on the same wavelength.

But she forgot that even though these two people have different temperaments, they have many things in common.

For instance, both are intelligent and sharp, both come from prestigious families, both have a trait of loftiness.

So, differing personalities do not prevent two excellent people from resonating with each other.

What’s more, the counterparts of both of them are sisters, indirectly, they’re relatives now, they’ll inevitably see each other more in the future. Plus, the Yan family and Ji family have always enjoyed collaborating, therefore, the relationship between these two men is actually quite good at the moment.

It’s just, Young Master Yan was too lazy to mention this to Zhu Qianying.

"So, it’s the Yan and Ji families working in concert. No wonder the Mingxuan was refused so thoroughly!"

Zhu Qianying said, then couldn’t help smirking, "My father will finally rest in peace now that the ordinary people dare not to resist two major clans - Yan and Ji!"

Originally worried that she might be angry, Young Master Yan relaxed on seeing her snickering like a kid and couldn’t help smiling.

"Why did you turn away Qin Xiu in the morning?"

Young Master Yan was indeed clever. It was he who had upset Zhu Qianying that caused her not to be amenable to Qin Xiu’s proposal.

While he subtly re-crafted the narrative, it turned out that Qin Xiu had offended her, causing the house purchasing to fall apart. Just by a single sentence, he cleanly dodged all responsibilities as an instigator.

But Zhu Qianying was too lazy to argue with him.

"I didn’t turn him away, I just suddenly didn’t want to buy a house."

To be honest, when she heard from Qin Xiu that Young Master Yan wanted to give her a house, she was indeed furious for a while.

But after Qin Xiu left, when she had calmed down and thought about it, on what footing was she getting angry?

From the beginning to the end, apart from the two hundred million in betrothal gifts and a legal status, Yan never promised her anything else.

Of course, from a common perspective, loyalty and honesty in feelings between husband and wife are the most basic requirements.

But her agreement with Young Master Yan was based on money, there was not the slightest bit of emotion involved.

Thus, she was not even sure if she had the right to ask anything in this transaction.

After all, she couldn’t ask more after taking the money; she couldn’t wish to have Yan himself as well.

This point, not to mention Young Master Yan himself never mentioned it, she herself had never thought to request it either.

Moreover, feelings are always mutual; they have already given their bodies to each other, but what about their hearts?

On this matter, she admitted that she has never been truly open-hearted towards Yan. Therefore, she had no right to ask him to be open-hearted with her either.

After understanding these things, she realized that with regard to last night’s incident, he did have a poor attitude. So if he was to apologize, he need only apologize for his poor attitude.

But she was wrong as well, and she was wrong first; she shouldn’t have touched his things without permission and unknowingly prodded an open wound.

So last night, she and he were actually even. She first touched his wound, and he couldn’t help but lose his temper with her. So they ended up even, and they shouldn’t blame each other anymore.

The fact that he wanted to give her a house to make up for his loss of temper last night was completely unnecessary.

He didn’t owe her anything, so what was there to make up for?
