Chapter 224: Chapter 224: New Home

Zhu Qianying together looked at several houses, and each house had its unique features. Finally, they chose a three-bedroom, two-living room apartment nearest to Ying Jewelry based on the preference of their little boy.

This house came with simple decorations, one of the three bedrooms was designed in a child-friendly style, they just needed to buy some furniture, and then they could move in.

The three adults, especially the little boy, were quite satisfied with this house, and so they bought it on the spot.

The name on the house deed was Chen Jing’s, Zhu Qianying initially planned to pay for the whole house, but Zhu Qianyu, her younger sister, insisted on paying half.

"Sister, this house is a gift for mom from both of us, we should share the cost."

Zhu Qianyu today, is seemingly a mini-rich lady. After winning the Best Director award, her stock had risen, she seemed to be earning a bit more than her elder sister, a slightly famous designer.

Zhu Qianying didn’t insist much, and both sisters paid half of the house price, grabbed lunch, and then hurried off to the furniture centre to pick out furniture.

"Actually, I can find another job!"

While picking out furniture, Chen Jing suddenly said this to the sisters.

The sisters had no objections, especially considering that their mother was still young and that after some time their boy would have to go to school, and being alone at home would be boring indeed.

"You could, but I’m afraid that Dad’s side might interfere. I’ll ask Qi Xiao."

Qi Xiao’s family business also had branches in the restaurant industry.

Speaking of the Zhu family, Zhu Qianying, even though she lived in M country, she had heard a lot about the Zhu family over the years.

After she left, there were significant changes within the Zhu family.

Before that, Zhu Qianying had thought that Zhu Zhizhou would definitely have their eldest son, Zhu Junzhao take over the position of president at Mingxuan Group.

So when she heard that Zhu Zhizhou retired early and passed on the position of president to his third son Zhu Junwei, she was incredibly surprised.

Zhu Junwei was the second son of Zhu Shaofen and ranked third among the four sons in the Zhu family, so Zhu Qianying and her sister called him "third brother".

Zhu Qianying knew the least about this third brother.

Compared to her other siblings, Zhu Junwei had the least grievances with her and her sister.

He was likely about five or six years older than Zhu Qianying, when they were kids, and other siblings bullied Zhu Qianying’s sister, he mostly turned a blind eye. He wouldn’t participate and wouldn’t help either.

Whenever he saw them, he would just take a quick look and pass by.

When Zhu Qianying grew a bit older, he went to study abroad with his cousin from the Zhu family when he was thirteen or fourteen and returned at most one or two times a year, he didn’t even come back when Zhu Qianying married Yan Han.

So even though Zhu Qianying was his sister, she didn’t really know him and wasn’t familiar with him.

However, this not-so-familiar brother of Zhu Qianying, it was said, ran Mingxuan Group incredibly meticulously these past five years. Mingxuan’s crisis days had become a thing of the past under his management.

Five years ago, Zhu Zhizhou adopted an attitude of indifference towards Chen Jing and the two sisters leaving the Zhu family. Although Zhu Qianying was now back, her relationship with the Yan family, in the eyes of others, is perplexing. Zhu Zhizhou maybe planning revenge on the three women, Zhu Qianying wasn’t sure.

Both Chen Jing and Zhu Qianyu understood this.

Over the past five years, not only Zhu Qianying had grown, but the two of them had too.

And they were no longer the weaklings who always relied on Zhu Qianying for protection.

"If it really doesn’t work out, I can talk to him!"

The "him" Chen Jing referred to was Zhu Zhizhou.

"No, not necessary for now! Let’s just inquire first."

In the eyes of Zhu Qianying, her mother and Zhu Zhizhou had no formal relationship, the two had split apart and really had nothing to talk about. If her mother actively looked for Zhu Zhizhou, it would strengthen Zhu Zhizhou’s aura instead.

Chen Jing didn’t persist, on these matters, she respected her eldest daughter’s wishes. The three of them didn’t bring up the issue of work anymore and returned to carefully selecting their furniture.

Choosing furniture was more challenging than picking a house, and the three adults and child spent the entire afternoon traversing the furniture centre before they could finally purchase each piece of furniture.

On the way back, Xiao Yu was driving, and the little boy, who was propped up on Zhu Qianying, fell straight asleep.

Chen Jing glanced at the sleeping child. "Ying’er, what’s the status of your matter?"

Zhu Qianying had been back in L City for two days, but previously over the phone, Zhu Qianying wasn’t willing to talk much about Yan Han’s matter.

However, as a mother, Chen Jing was very concerned about the matter and also very worried.

Five years might just seem like five years to outsiders, but in Chen Jing’s eyes, it was over a thousand and eight hundred days.

During these one thousand and eight hundred days, she watched her daughter struggle up to this point. The hardships and sorrows were indescribable.

"We talked yesterday, but it seems like there was no result, we both harboured some complaints, making it hard to have a good talk. Once the house matter is settled, I’ll find some time to talk to him again."

Even though, yesterday in the coffee shop, Zhu Qianying impulsively suggested to meet in court because of her resentment, she did not want it to go that far.

Furthermore, Yan Han’s mother’s attitude was clearly more liberal than Yan Han’s. Zhu Qianying felt that, if she couldn’t negotiate with Yan Han, she could try negotiating from Yan Han’s mother’s side.

"Hmm, if possible, try not to let things get too strained. Xiao Yu told me, they genuinely care for the boy," Chen Jing, aside from considering for her daughter, also thought from her grandson’s perspective.

"Mom, I understand!"

When they got back to their newly bought apartment, housekeeping had already cleaned it thoroughly. The little boy was full of energy again after sleeping briefly during the way back.

Perhaps the thought of soon returning to mommy and grandma excited him, even though there were no toys, he was still running around the room, looking very happy.

Zhu Qianying and the rest didn’t wait long in the house before the furniture centre delivered their furniture. The workers helped set up and arrange the larger pieces that needed assembly.

All in all, they were busy until past six o’clock. Once the assembly workers left, the four of Zhu Qianying’s family planned to find a nearby restaurant for dinner.

Just at that moment, Zhu Qianying received a phone call from Yan Han.

Initially, Zhu Qianying who saw a foreign call on her screen, couldn’t immediately recall who it was.

"Hello, this is Zhu Qianying." she thought it was a call from one of the managers at the domestic branches.

Because, the only people with this new number of hers, were the Ji family and the managers at Ying Jewelry, and of course, Cheng Ye.

"Is the house matter sorted? I’ll come pick you up for dinner!"

From the receiver, Yan Han’s deep voice could be heard.

Zhu Qianying paused for a moment and instinctively refused.

"There’s no need, we’ll just find a nearby restaurant to eat."
