Chapter 197: Chapter 197: I am Zhu Qianying’s Grandfather

A few hours later, Yan Han was sitting on a plane flying to M country, an indescribable feeling stirring within him.

For years, he had searched every possible place domestically, but he had never considered that she was not in his home country at all.

Firstly, he thought Zhu Qianying was just a 20-year-old girl, who would encounter troubles of livelihood if go abroad with Chen Jing whose language was uncommunicative.

Secondly, he had reached out immediately to all major airlines and outbound travelers, ensuring he would be notified at once if they heard any news about Zhu Qianying.

So, even after five years of fruitless searching, he had never considered expanding the search globally.

Before he boarded the plane, Ke Kai handed him Zhu Qianying’s resume from Ying Jewelry,

At that moment, Yan Han was looking at it.

At sixteen, Zhu Qianying apprenticed herself to the chief designer of Ying Jewelry, and the go-between was the boss of Ying Jewelry, Cheng Ye.

Did this mean that this man, Cheng Ye, had known Zhu Qianying four years longer than Yan Han had?

This realization made Yan Han feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

But no matter how uncomfortable he felt, the reality was undeniable.

Yan Han suppressed his discomfort and continued to read.

At seventeen, Zhu Qianying started to assist her master in some auxiliary design jobs, meaning she was a design assistant. By this time, she started to generate income. Though not plentiful, her income was a bit more than an average person.

At eighteen, Zhu Qianying officially graduated from her apprenticeship and began working as a designer at Ying Jewelry. By then, her income was quite substantial, fully supporting her and her mother’s livelihood.

By the time she was twenty, her position in Ying Jewelry was second only to her mentor. Her work was popular with young people, even more so than her mentor’s. Therefore, her income increased several times over since she began to accept jobs as a jewelry stylist for some fashionable brands.

That was the year he met her, and at that time, Yan Han mistakenly thought she was unemployed.

So, had she not planned to tell her husband about her profession and specialty?

Yan Han remembered their past, a surge of coldness rising up his spine.

They were a couple, but what did he truly know about her beyond her name, Zhu Qianying?

Although several years had passed, Yan Han remembered clearly that he had asked her about herself.

And she simply replied, "My name is Zhu Qianying!"

Back then, he didn’t want to ask more, believing that knowing her name was sufficient.

The reality was, his arrogant self-assuredness had cost him dearly.

Also during that year, Zhu Qianying and her mother moved to M country. The details of the move were not mentioned in the documents.

Yan Han was a hundred percent sure that it was the Ji family that helped them make this covert transition from their home country to M country.

At the age of twenty-one, she had taken three months of maternity leave and given birth to a baby boy. The name and the father of the child were unknown.

Seeing this information, Yan Han felt a mix of emotions welling up inside him.

At twenty-two, she took over the position of chief designer from her master at Ying Jewelry and has held the position since then.

Along with Zhu Qianying’s resume was an airplane boarding record showing that a few days earlier, Cheng Ye and a little boy named Zhu-Zhu, who was over four years old, had flown from M country to D city.

It seemed that every piece of information matched perfectly.

After reviewing the two-page document, Yan Han closed his eyes.

He felt an exhaustion that was more intense than those from the sleepless nights.

This exhaustion was rooted in a deep sense of powerlessness.

His joy at the prospect of seeing Zhu Qianying was slowly being eroded by this feeling of powerlessness.

This document, which was less than two pages long, seemed to be full of mockery, reminding him that the woman he was flying to find was a jewelry designer named Zhu-Ying, a stranger who had no connections or intersections with his world.

She was just a stranger with the same face as Zhu Qianying, the woman he knew.

What bargaining chip could he possess to persuade this stranger to return home with him?

Their son?

Of course, if he would take such a despicable method, it would undoubtedly work.

However, if he chose to do so, there would be no more possibilities between him and her!

While on the plane, Yan Han pondered this question.

How could he persuade her to return with him to their home country as soon as possible?

...

When he finally arrived at the headquarters of Ying Jewelry in M country, the staff informed him that Zhu-Ying was currently on leave.

Yan Han could not accept not being able to see her. He decided to wait at Ying Jewelry’s reception. He refused to believe Zhu Qianying, who had avoided him for five years, could avoid him forever.

Half an hour later, Yan Han saw a familiar man walk in.

Being familiar meant Yan Han had seen this man’s picture countless times recently. From this man’s facial features, he could recognize him even in ashes.

Yes, the man who walked in was the boss of Ying Jewelry, and also Zhu Qianying’s boss, Cheng Ye.

Yan Han immediately stood up and went towards him. He felt an instinctive hostility towards this man, who was about his age.

Even though the man was not the subjective reason for his hostility, to Yan Han, he was just an unrelated passerby in between him and Zhu Qianying.

But Yan Han subconsciously believed that this man had taken his wife, Zhu Qianying, away from him over the last five years.

"Mr. Cheng, greetings, I am Yan Han, Zhu Qianying’s husband, and the father of our son," Yan Han introduced himself, extending his hand towards Cheng Ye.

Cheng Ye halted for a moment, swiftly collected himself, looked at Yan Han’s extended hand, but showed no intention of shaking it.

"Mr. Yan, may I know your purpose?" Cheng Ye ignored Yan Han’s assertion of ownership in his introduction and went straight to the point.
