Chapter 314: Did you settle the matter?

Chapter 314: Chapter 314: Did you settle the matter?

Young Master Yanhuang entered the small living room, and upon hearing his movements, Zhu Qianying lifted her eyelids, quietly looking at him.

Young Master Yanhuang said nothing, extending a hand to take hers, "Let’s go. I’ll take you home!"

Hearing his own young master’s words, Qin Xiu, who was following behind, felt like giving him a good kick.

Isn’t this the moment when he should seize the golden opportunity to confess his feelings to Ying Zi, where he can directly win the beauty’s heart?

Why does his young master always do things differently from others and walk a distinct path?

"Master..." Qin Xiu, good-naturedly, wanted to remind Young Master Yanhuang.

"Let’s go, the remaining mess will be cleaned up by Kai Zi!" Young Master Yanhuang simply instructed Qin Xiu with that sentence and pulled Zhu Qianying out of the guest room.

Interrupted mid-sentence, Qin Xiu had to reluctantly closed his mouth.

Contrary to their arrival, all the decadent scenes downstairs were now gone. The large living room was left in complete disarray. Only a few unfamiliar men were seen going back and forth, probably cleaning up something. All those provocatively dressed men and women had disappeared.

Qin Xiu, who silently trailed Young Master Yanhuang and Zhu Qianying, found himself the only observer left in a state of secret anxiety as the man and woman who were leading the way remained silent.

"Master, you’ve had so much to drink. Should I drive you back?" he asked.

"Don’t we have a driver? What an idiot!" The patience that Young Master Yanhuang now seemed to exhibit was all focussed on Zhu Qianying, and his attitude towards Qin Xiu could only be described as intolerable.

Qin Xiu shrunk his neck and refrained from speaking.

Zhu Qianying’s mind was still occupied by everything she had just witnessed. Gradually, she started to sort out the things she had not yet had time to understand.

"Young Master Yanhuang, you knew all along about the threats and harassment I’ve been experiencing in M country?" Zhu Qianying asked as soon as they got into the car.

Yanhuang did not immediately respond, but first commanded the driver to start the car, then grabbed a bottle of mouthwash and rinsed his mouth. Only then did he turn to look at Zhu Qianying.

"Yes, I found out about it not long after you returned," he answered.

Zhu Qianying thought to herself, no wonder it felt a lot quieter the last time she returned to M country to handle her affairs. Those punks who previously harassed her never appeared in front of her again.

"Did you sort that out?"

Yanhuang responded with a mere "hmm", seemingly not inclined to talk further.

Zhu Qianying looked deeply into his eyes, "Thank you!"

Yanhuang quietly looked back at her, and after a moment, spoke, "Ultimately, these troubles began because of me. I was the one who got you into this in the first place. Resolving them is my responsibility; you do not need to thank me."

Zhu Qianying remained silent, but taking into account the exchanges between Zhu Junwei and Yi Wei, it was not difficult to see that although Yi Wei was not the mastermind, everything did indeed start because of her.

As for why Zhu Junwei was so invested in helping an outsider against his own half-sister, it didn’t take much thought to conclude that there must be considerable benefit involved. Plus, there were likely other factors at play.

"In any case, I should still thank you," said Zhu Qianying

After witnessing an entire farce, Zhu Qianying had mixed feelings.

In addition to being shocked by Yi Wei’s persistent affection for Yanhuang, she also felt an indescribable emotion towards Zhu Junwei.

She had always believed that her relationship and entanglements with the Zhu family had been entirely severed from the moment she, along with her mother, moved out of the Zhu family home five years ago. Although she bore the surname Zhu, she was Zhu Qianying, with no relation to the Zhu Family in L City.

Yet, Zhu Junwei’s actions clearly indicated that although their emotional ties might be over, the entanglement was far from being resolved.

By siding forcefully with Yi Wei, was Zhu Junwei not only driven by personal gain but also representing the Zhu family, who was preparing to strike out at her, the one who had rebelled against the family?

Zhu Qianying felt that she needed to sort these matters throughly once back home, after all, apart from her mother and Xiao Yu, she also had a precious son to look after.

Zhu Qianying’s reaction left Yanhuang slightly disappointed. He thought that after all that had just transpired, she would have many questions for him.

Indeed, she did have questions.

However, her questions were far from what he expected.

Moreover, after asking her questions, she simply thanked him politely. It seemed that she had no intentions or desires to dig deeper.

He’d initially prepared a series of responses to her various possible inquiries but now they all stayed within him, unspoken.

"Are you tired?"

Then he remembered, she had just been sick. Perhaps she was mentally fatigued. Furthermore, the amount of information from the scene she’d just witnessed was neither too small nor too large, and she would likely need quite a while to fully absorb it.

"Hmm..." Zhu Qianying seemed, indeed, to be troubled and tired.

"Then, I’ll drop you off home first. We can talk about everything else later," he said.

Yanhuang was no fool. How could he not have anticipated what Qin Xiu did? He initially planned to seize the opportunity to confess his feelings to her again after she had watched the scene unfold.

However, her reaction didn’t show any signs of acceptance or willingness for a confession.

Unable to infer her thoughts, Yanhuang decided to postpone things. The expression of his feelings, that could wait for a more suitable opportunity.

Throughout the journey, Zhu Qianying’s mind didn’t stop working. At times, she thought about Zhu Junwei. At others, Yanhuang and Yi Wei weighed on her mind.

When thinking about Zhu Junwei, she unavoidably thought about the troublesome people of the Zhu family, but when thinking about Yi Wei and Yanhuang, she could only sigh. Why did Yanhuang create a series of misunderstandings if he was not interested in others?

Actually, looking at it from an outsider’s perspective, Zhu Qianying genuinely felt that if she were Yi Wei, she would also like Yi Wei, over reading into things and imagining more than was there.

Just like, during the days leading up to and including their wedding, when Yanhuang showed her a bit of warmth and consideration, didn’t she too misunderstand?

So sometimes, probably Yanhuang shouldn’t be indulged; blaming, it only blames those who imagine more than that exists.

Whether it is Yi Wei or herself back then.

"Young Master Yanhuang, how do you plan to handle Zhu Junwei?"

Yanhuang had responded to Yi Wei by cutting off all business ventures with the Yi family. And what about Zhu Junwei? It seems that Yanhuang had no business ties with the Zhu family since five years ago, right?

"What would you like me to do?"

If Zhu Qianying hadn’t asked, Yanhuang would certainly not have let Zhu Junwei off lightly. But now that she had asked, Yanhuang decided to respect her opinion.

Yi Wei might be a bit stubborn, but in general, she’s a carefree and easy-going person. It seems highly unlikely for her to come up with so many schemes to hurt Zhu Qianying.

From the relationship he’s had with Zhu Junwei these days, Yanhuang understood him to be a person with deep city mansion and a propensity for manipulation.
