Chapter 307: Chapter 307: Happy Party
She still remembered when the villas first began pre-selling, it coincided with Zhu Junwei’s twenty-fourth birthday. Zhu Zhizhou, with a wave of his hand, bought a villa in the Pavilion of Ease as a birthday gift for Junwei.
At that time, the siblings from her second aunt’s and third aunt’s families were green with envy!
After that, whenever anyone had a birthday, they would clamor for Zhu Zhizhou to gift them a villa too, but apart from Zhu Junwei, Zhu Zhizhou never demonstrated such generosity again.
Actually, from that time on, Scumbag Daddy seemed to have consciously or unconsciously started grooming Zhu Junwei as a successor. However, she was too young at that time and didn’t understand many things. Looking back now, she realized that everything was traceable.
As for Zhu Qianying and Zhu Qianyu, the completely ignored sisters, they couldn’t even dare to think of asking for a villa, let alone fight for one.
Because, let alone a villa worth tens of millions, even a stuffed toy worth tens of yuan, Zhu Qianying had never received from Scumbag Daddy.
"Pavilion of Ease? Does Yanhuang own any property there?"
Of course, for someone as wealthy as Yanhuang, it was not surprising that he owned a villa in Pavilion of Ease.
However, Zhu Qianying remembered clearly that the owner of Pavilion of Ease was embroiled in a vicious battle for the Pavilion’s land with Yanhuang Group. Yanhuang then inexplicably raised the bidding price extremely high, dropping out afterwards. Consequently, the Pavilion’s boss ended up spending billions more to secure the property.
Since then, the owner of the Pavilion had treated Yanhuang Group and Yanhuang as archenemies.
Zhu Qianying heard these gossips from Xing Bailun and others, the authenticity of which reached 99.9%.
Of course, a person like Yanhuang would not care if a small tycoon considered him an enemy. But, given these past disputes, it seemed unlikely he would buy a villa at the Pavilion of Ease.
Qin Xiu glanced at Zhu Qianying with a strange look. Listening to her, it seemed that she didn’t know what kind of villa area Pavilion of Ease was?
However, Qin Xiu couldn’t disclose this to her, so he could only shake his head and replied, "I’m not sure. You’re his wife, you should know better, shouldn’t you?"
Zhu Qianying wisely stopped asking, but Qin Xiu was still persistent.
"Ying Zi, did you have another disagreement with Grandfather?"
Although Yanhuang didn’t give him a straightforward answer, he sensed instinctively that there seemed to be some conflict between them again.
"No!" Zhu Qianying shook her head.
She never had a habit of explaining her personal affairs to others.
Or perhaps, her love affair and experiences were simply too trivial. Thus, she’s never had the habit of pouring out her feelings.
Like her relationship with Yanhuang, Zhu Qianying never mentioned much about it, even in front of her mother and Xiao Yu.
Qin Xiu didn’t believe Zhu Qianying. "Ying Zi, Grandfather indeed has a tough personality and is rather subjective. But, he really thinks highly of you."
"I know!"
Yanhuang initially didn’t think highly of her, let alone treasure her. But now, he truly valued her and their son. She recognized this.
"Of course, it may be somewhat difficult for you to tolerate him. But his temper can’t change overnight. Give him more time, let him change gradually. Kai Zi and I will always stand by your side."
Zhu Qianying didn’t know how to refuse Qin Xiu’s good intentions. Actually, she didn’t need anyone to stand by her side.
Because, in her relationship with Yanhuang, there was no need for tangled burdens anymore.
Whether or not he could change was not important to her, and held no particular meaning.
"Thank you, you and Brother Ke!" Zhu Qianying said indifferently. It’s not that she looked down on their goodwill, it’s just that she didn’t need it.
After Zhu Qianying said this, Qin Xiu didn’t know what to say anymore.
To avoid making everyone uncomfortable, Zhu Qianying glanced at both sides of the road and asked, "Qin, how much longer to Pavilion of Ease? Can I sleep for a while?"
Qin Xiu checked the time, it was already half past nine. To get to Pavilion of Ease, they would probably arrive around eleven.
Only then did Qin Xiu remember that Zhu Qianying had stayed in the hospital overnight, and her body must still be weak.
"The earliest we can reach there is around eleven o’clock, so you can rest for a while!"
"Mhm, then, I will get some sleep."
Zhu Qianying reclined her seat back, covered herself with the down jacket she had taken off after getting in the car, and slowly closed her eyes.
While stopping at a red light, Qin Xiu sent a message to Yanhuang.
"Grandfather, Ying Zi and I will be there around eleven."
He quickly received a reply from Yanhuang.
"I know!"
Zhu Qianying slept for more than an hour, and didn’t wake up until the car drove into Pavilion of Ease. She opened her eyes groggily and looked around at the completely unfamiliar scenery.
The car was driving up a mountain. On both sides of the road were dense gardens and chic villas nestled within and built against the mountain.
"Qin, have we arrived?" Zhu Qianying vaguely guessed that this place was Pavilion of Ease.
"Mhm, we will be there soon after turning left ahead." Qin Xiu had been to this place more than once.
Of course, when he came before, it was always with Yanhuang on official business. He himself had no perverse obsession for such places.
Moreover, if the woman at home knew that he came to such places, she would be really furious.
"Qin, you seem quite familiar with this place." Zhu Qianying was trying to fill the blank silence.
"Yes, I came with Yanhuang a few times. But don’t misunderstand, we came here to discuss official business due to clients’ requests."
Zhu Qianying was perplexed. It’s just a casual comment like "You seem quite familiar with this place," was there a need for such serious clarification?
However, not long after, Zhu Qianying understood why Qin Xiu felt the need to clarify so seriously.
The car stopped in front of a villa. Qin Xiu and Zhu Qianying got out of the car, and walked side by side towards the villa.
Zhu Qingying looked down at her clothes wrapped like a zongzi, "Qin, is my outfit appropriate?"
At that moment, she still believed that Yanhuang asked her over to attend a business cocktail party or social gathering as his partner. If that were the case, her plain attire might make the other guests laugh uncontrollably.
Qin Xiu took a quick glance at her, "It doesn’t matter, anything is fine!"
As the pair of them approached the main mansion, they faintly heard deafening music.
"Is this a cocktail party or a happy party?" Zhu Qianying felt that something was wrong.
Qin Xiu hesitated for a moment before replying, "It’s a happy party!"
Zhu Qianying acknowledged with an ’Oh’ and didn’t ask any more questions.
Turning a corner, they saw two security guards stationed at the mansion’s entrance. Qin Xiu bent his arm and motioned to Zhu Qianying.
Zhu Qianying got the hint, extended her arm, and linked it with Qin’s as they walked towards the entrance.
"Master Qin, please come in!"
Zhu Qianying vaguely felt that the security guards were looking at her strangely. Was it because her clothing was overly conservative?
