Chapter 267: Chapter 267: Who is Playing Tricks?

Zhu Qianying had not anticipated the vast growth of the Mingxuan Group over the last five years.

Not only did they manage to save their title as the undisputed leader of the hotel and restaurant industry in L City from the brink of bankruptcy, but they also expanded significantly.

Reportedly, now most restaurants in L city are operating at the mercy of Mingxuan Group.

Qi Xiao had informed her of this just a few days ago.

Perhaps this had something to do with why her mother’s job interview had been unsuccessful.

"Mom, it’s fine. If you’re bored, Xiao Yu and I can open a small shop for you. We’ll be our own bosses, serve limited quantities, and make some money while being comfortable."

It was due to this plan that Zhu Qianying felt short of money.

After comforting her mother and telling her that her grandson might have to stay at the Yan Family for a few days, she endured her mother’s nagging about Yan Han before she finally managed to calm her down and hang up the phone.

The little boy in the bubble pool was still having fun with his friends. Zhu Qianying watched him for a while, assured he was safe, before dialing Ji Huan’s number.

Over the years, she had not cared much about Zhu Family.

Firstly, she thought she would settle down in M country and didn’t care about what happened in L City, either in Zhu’s or Yan’s family.

Secondly, her twenty years in the Zhu family didn’t leave her with any pleasant memories, so she instinctively wanted to avoid anything related to the Zhu family.

As a result, all she knew was that her third brother, Zhu Junwei, had taken over the Mingxuan Group, and led it to unprecedented heights.

She knew nothing else.

But now, she was back.

Even if she didn’t want to hear about the Zhu family, she had no choice when they had so blatantly shown their aggressive intentions.

"Mingxuan? We basically have no contact with them now," Ji Huan said.

"Weren’t they desperately trying to curry favor with Ji family before? How did they just give up?"

Of course, Zhu Qianying didn’t intend to pry into the internal affairs of the Ji family, but this was related to her, her mother, and Xiao Yu, so she had to investigate.

"Your third brother Zhu Junwei is very capable. Rumor has it that he found himself a powerful backer, but we’re not sure who. Most speculations point towards the Zhu family."

The Zhu family was the maternal home of Zhu Junwei’s mother, Zhu Xiaofen.

On Ji Huan’s side, ever since Chen Jing and her two daughters broke off relations with Zhu family, he also rarely paid attention to the Zhu family’s affairs.

Even when Ji Huan married Zhu Qianyu a year ago, not a single member of the Zhu family was invited.

Most people in the upper social circles knew that Zhu Zhizhou and his two daughters had completely severed ties with the Zhu family five years ago.

So, no one would bring up the Zhu family in front of Ji Huan.

"Is that so? My mother had an interview this morning at a hotel that hasn’t opened yet, but she was told to ’wait for further notice’."

Zhu Qianying felt more comfortable talking to Ji Huan.

In her eyes, Ji Huan was undoubtedly more trustworthy than Yan Han and felt more like her own.

"Hmm, I’ll look into this matter. Also, thank you for the film issue!"

Zhu Qianyu received a notification from the film producer this morning, stating that the filming would be delayed by one year.

Ji Huan knew without thinking that this was due to Zhu Qianying’s influence.

"Ji Huan, have you forgotten? Xiao Yu is my sister first, and then she is your wife!"

Zhu Qianying is known for being overly protective of her sister otherwise, she wouldn’t have wagered herself for a better future for her mother and sister, which led to her current, complicated situation.

Of course, Zhu Qianying didn’t think her situation was miserable. She just felt that her current entanglement with Eldest Young Master, Yan Han, was truly annoying.

At noon, Eldest Young Master Yan called her punctually at twelve o’clock.

"Ying’er, I just finished a meeting. You and our baby boy wait ten minutes for me. You guys decide where to eat and we’ll go straight there."

The punctuality of Yan Han only made Zhu Qianying feel frustrated.

She would rather he returned to his old ways: neglecting her until he wanted to enjoy her cooking and then calling her to nonchalantly give a long list of dishes.

Rather than being considerate now: guessing her mood and pleasing her by doing things she appreciated.

Honestly, this version of Yan Han didn’t make her happy. On the contrary, it was irritating.

"The baby boy and I have already settled in the fast-food restaurant on the fifth floor. You can eat at the company. There’s no need to run around and waste time."

Yan Han had high standards for food, shelter, and clothing. He probably had never set foot in a fast-food restaurant, a common haunt for ordinary wage earners.

But even after Zhu Qianying said that, Eldest Young Master Yan replied without hesitation, "Okay, I’ll come over."

Zhu Qianying furrowed her eyebrows and wanted to say something, but the other party had already hung up.

"Mommy, I want to eat bamboo rice!"

The little boy, sweaty from playing, pointed his chubby finger at the name of the rice dish on the menu.

Zhu Qianying nodded, wiped his sweat off with a towel while instructing the waitress nearby, "Then, please bring two servings of Ribs Bamboo Rice."

The waitress checked the corresponding options on the Ipad to place the order, "Is there anything else you need? We’re currently having a promotion on desserts. Diners can enjoy them at half price."

The little boy’s eyes lit up at the mention of dessert his tongue slipped out to lick his lips, and Zhu Qianying clearly heard the sound of him swallowing.

Zhu Qianying burst into laughter and told the waitress, who was also amused, "Alright, give me two servings of your signature dessert."

As soon as the mother and son finished ordering, Eldest Young Master Yan, who was standing at the entrance of the fast-food restaurant, spotted them and strode over.

"Enjoying yourself, baby boy?"

As soon as Yan Han sat down, he asked the little boy with a smile.

Because he had been lectured by his mother this morning, the little boy didn’t dare to offend Eldest Young Master Yan. He glanced at him and muttered, "Yeah, not bad."

Zhu Qianying shook her head secretly. This bratty boy was having the time of his life just now, yet he only said "not bad".

"Sir, what would you like to eat?"

The diligent waitress quickly came over and courteously asked Yan Han.

Yan Han’s attention was all on his son and wife. Without even looking at the waitress, he said, "The same."

The waitress paused, then referred to the order record and repeated to Yan Han, "Sir, would you like a serving of Ribs Bamboo Rice and a serving of our signature dessert?"

Yan Han waved his hand dismissively at the waitress, "Hmm, that’s right."

His expression and behavior showed how much he couldn’t be bothered.
