Chapter 186: Chapter 186: Ying’er Left Because of You

Even now, she still believed that Zhu Qianying’s decision to leave years ago was the right choice.

If it were her, she assumed she would have made the same decision!

But probably, she couldn’t leave as freely and decisively as that Zhu Qianying girl.

At least with her fiery temperament, she would have to give that annoying man a piece of her mind!

Therefore, sometimes when she thought about it, she felt sorrowful for her son.

Because a woman, if truly in love, could never leave so resolutely.

Either she was never in love...

Or she fell out of love in the end!

No matter which of these two possibilities Zhu Qianying fell into, it was a severe blow for her son who had tirelessly searched for her over the past five years.

That’s why, while the old Mrs. Yan was angry with her son, she also felt sorry for him!

"Son, Ying’er didn’t actually go to study abroad. She left because you drove her away, right?"

Because she always felt sorry for her son, although Mrs. Yan knew full well about this matter, she had never brought it up before.

But now, since Ying’er had returned the baby, with Ying’er’s character, unless something happened, she would never have returned the baby.

After all, when she left, the Yan family did not know she was pregnant. If she had wanted to hide the child, she could have kept it secret all her life.

Yan Han stared silently at his mother, then finally, nodded his head.

"She left a letter for me, wishing me and Xiao Wei happiness. Then she took away 5 million, the remaining 95 million, she returned to me in the form of shares in Mingxuan."

The reason he had never mentioned this was not only due to his damn, pathetic male self-esteem but also because he didn’t want to upset his parents and other elders.

Because he realized that his parents and a couple of elders genuinely liked that girl, Zhu Qianying!

Now that his mother had broached the subject, there was no need for him to keep it a secret.

Mrs. Yan had guessed that Zhu Qianying had been provoked into leaving, but she hadn’t expected that Zhu Qianying did not leave without saying a word. Looking at it this way, there seemed to be some hope for her son?

As a woman herself, old Mrs. Yan subtly understood Zhu Qianying’s mindset back then.

If Ying’er really had no feelings for her son, she probably wouldn’t care about his happiness. Saying she wished him happiness was probably just to spite him, and of course, there was a hint of self-deception as well.

And leaving behind 95 million, it explains things even better.

From the start of her son’s selection, it only stated a betrothal gift of two hundred million, but it never said that others couldn’t get divorced after getting married.

Ying’er initially got married for the money, that one hundred million was hers to take, and her son had no grounds to say anything if she took all of it. But in the end, she returned almost all of the money; what does that represent?

It suggests that she wanted to sever all ties with him by returning the money. But ironically, the situation was so peculiar that if she had taken all the money, their relationship would have really been severed. Yet she returned the money, and it was even harder for them to disassociate from each other.

Of course, old Mrs. Yan wasn’t certain that her analysis, which didn’t hold up to scrutiny, was correct, so she could only silently ponder and didn’t dare say much to her son.

She feared giving her son unfounded hope which, if contradicted by reality later on, would only lead to greater disappointment, wouldn’t it?

Besides, the immediate concern now isn’t whether Ying’er has feelings for her son. It’s whether she has run into any trouble.

"Xiao Han, why do you think Ying’er suddenly sent the baby back?"

Yan Han was silent for a while before speaking.

"Mom, even though I don’t want to think the worst, given her character, she definitely wouldn’t send the baby back unless something major happened, especially since we never knew the child existed and yet she sent him back to us willingly. I think she either couldn’t afford to raise the baby and thus sent him back, or she wasn’t able to take care of him properly and decided to send him back. From what I know of her, the latter is more likely."

Mrs. Yan nodded, "Your father and I share the same worries."

Throughout the extensive flight, Yan Han and his parents spent most of their time discussing not how to coax the baby back, but how to locate Zhu Qianying as soon as possible, as they were worried that Zhu Qianying had encountered some trouble.

After all, in their hearts, the child was very important, and Zhu Qianying held no less significance!

For the past five years, both Yan Han and Mr. and Mrs. Yan Bo insisted externally that Zhu Qianying was still their daughter-in-law.

Their plane landed at the airport near the Ji family’s hotel. As they had notified the Ji family in advance, as soon as they stepped out of the hotel, they saw Ji’s Huan’s car parked outside.

"Xiao Huan, sorry for the inconvenience."

Mrs. Yan had always had a good impression of the brothers of the Ji family. She once ruminated frequently about how their sons were all unparalleled gentlemen, while her own son was a complete scoundrel.

"Uncle Yan, Aunt Yan, why are you being so formal with me? Rest assured, the baby is fine, he fell asleep not too long ago after playing with Beibei and Guoguo."

Ji Huan, being the smart person he is, knew very well that why this family of three flew over in the middle of the night, was to meet the baby.

"Ji Huan, thanks!" Over the past few years, Yan Han had always referred to Ji Huan as "Second Young Master Ji" or similar titles, but now, he’d started calling him by his name.

Ji Huan gave a knowing smile, "You’re welcome, just remember to give me a few more points of profit in our collaboration next year, Brother Yan!"

The two officially progressed from working relations to friendship.

"Brother Yan, I won’t comment on your and Ying’s relationship. The baby is Xiao Yu’s nephew, so he’s mine too. Originally, Xiao Yu wanted to keep the baby, but I feel that we should also respect Ying’s intentions. Since she sent the baby back to Yan family, we don’t have the grounds to fight for custody. But I must declare beforehand that if the baby isn’t happy at the Yan family, Xiao Yu and I will do everything we can to get him back."

Because they were friends, some words could be said directly without beating around the bush.

Being straightforward, as soon as Ji Huan met them, he stated things very clearly. This implied that they could turn a blind eye to the baby’s grievance this time, but wouldn’t be idle if it happened again.

In this matter, Yan Han was at a disadvantage, of course, he couldn’t argue with Ji Huan.

Besides, from the standpoint of the baby, Ji Huan and Xiao Yu were protecting him. Hence, Yan Han had no grounds for refutation.

However, he, Yan Han, would never allow such incidents to repeat, therefore, Ji Huan and Xiao Yu would never have that opportunity.

"Don’t worry, such a thing won’t happen!"

Ji Huan smiled again, "That’s good!"
