Chapter 315: Chapter 315: Unwilling for Daughter to Repeat the Same Mistake

In other words, all that happened recently, appears as if Yi Wei is the greatest beneficiary. However, everything that has occurred in M country, even the scandalous act tonight in which an attempt was made to force himself upon her, was masterminded by Zhu Junwei.

So, how could Yan’s young master possibly let him off?

Zhu Qianying shook her head, "I don’t know!"

Before this, Zhu Qianying couldn’t say that she had any affection or dislike for her third brother, as they barely interacted. Apart from the interests of the major clans, there wasn’t any personal grievance or favoritism between them.

But now that he has acted in this way, it signifies that he, on behalf of the Zhu Family, has issued a challenge to her.

Should she accept, or not?

This is what she needs to consider at the moment. As for Yi Wei, Zhu Qianying feels that it’s a matter for Yan’s young master, and it’s not her place to worry about it.

"Hmm, I’ll handle it then!"

As for how to deal with Zhu Junwei, Yan’s young master has long made up his mind. Since Zhu Qianying indicated that she would not interfere, he would stick with his original plan.

Zhu Qianying responded once more, then leaned her head against the backrest of the chair and began to ponder. Yan’s young master had been busy with the intricate situation these past few nights, and had indeed consumed quite a lot of alcohol to deceive Zhu Junwei. Now, as he began to wind down, exhaustion and lethargy overtook him.

The issue that had been hanging over his heart all this time was finally resolved, and Yan’s young master found himself able to relax. Being in the presence of Zhu Qianying allowed his nerves to unbend like never before.

Initially, he only intended to take a quick nap, but once his eyes shut, he drifted off to sleep.

The driver pulled the car up to Zhu Qianying’s apartment building. Seeing that Yan’s young master was in deep sleep, she quietly thanked the driver, got out and gently closed the car door.

"Mom, why haven’t you gone to bed yet?"

Zhu Qianying unlocked the door and, surprisingly, found her mother, who usually goes to bed early and gets up early, still watching television in the living room.

Chen Jing looked up and said, "I woke up to use the bathroom, saw the note you left, and got a bit worried."

In the note Zhu Qianying left, she only mentioned that she was going out with a friend, leaving out who exactly she was with. As her mother, Chen Jing naturally assumed her daughter was on a date with Yan’s young master.

"Mom, I’m all grown up now, what have you got to worry about?"

After changing her shoes and washing her face, Zhu Qianying poured herself a glass of warm water and sat down beside Chen Jing.

"I thought you went out with Yan’s young master."

Chen Jing said it straightforwardly. Currently, she was extremely cautious about Yan’s young master, guarding herself against him the way one would against a wolf, a thief, or a robber.

"I went out with Qin Xiu, Ke Kai, and others. I wasn’t alone with him." With this explanation, she wasn’t exactly lying.

As for matters related to Zhu Junwei, Zhu Qianying decided not to tell her mother.

However, just because she did not mention it, does not mean she could keep it hidden from her mother.

The next day, Zhu Qianying was woken from her sleep by frantic knocking on the door.

As she opened the door, she saw her mother, her face filled with panic, "Ying’er, something big has happened!"

Zhu Qianying, still in a sleepy haze, rubbed her eyes, "What happened?"

"The Mingxuan Hotels in L City have been temporarily sealed off by the police this morning for alleged illegal operations."

Zhu Qianying, her brain not yet fully operational, lacked the energy to respond, only managing a lackluster, "Oh... what does this has to do with us?"

Although her surname was Zhu, she knew well that neither Zhu Zhizhou nor Zhu Shaofen, and her children, would allow her any inheritance from Mingxuan. As for her mother, who had neither status nor official recognition in the Zhu Family, naturally there would be no talk of inheritance rights. Thus, matters regarding Mingxuan had little to do with her and her mother.

"Just now, when I was outside the community, I ran into Zhu Zhizhou..." Her mother finally got to the crux of the matter.

"What? What is he doing here again?"

That scumbag who gave her life, the last time Zhu Qianying saw her father, Zhu Zhizhou, was at a wedding five years ago. Considering her mother had no official status within the Zhu family, she, along with her mother and Xiao Yu, had severed ties with the Zhu family without even a statement to declare it so.

"He asked me to speak to you, to beg Yan’s young master to spare them. How did Yan’s young master get involved in this?"

Zhu Qianying was now fully awake. It appeared that Yan’s young master was referring to the sealing off of the Mingxuan Hotels when he said he’d handle things?

"Mom, he’s just talking nonsense. You don’t have to worry about it. I will buy all the daily supplies and food we need while I’m out for work."

Zhu Qianying thought this would be enough to pacify her mother, but life proved that Chen Jing was no longer the woman she used to be who lacked foresight.

"Ying’er, tell me honestly, why would Yan’s young master go after Mingxuan? Has something else happened?"

Chen Jing grabbed her daughter’s arm, insisting that she wouldn’t let her go to wash and brush her teeth until she had clarified the situation.

"Mom, let me brush my teeth and have some warm milk first, then I’ll tell you slowly, alright?"

A few minutes later, Zhu Qianying, with warm milk in hand, selectively told her mother about how Zhu Junwei had indirectly egged on the jewelry store owner in M country to cause her trouble. As for the scandalous incident of the previous night, she chose not to mention it.

"You were threatened when you were in M country?" Chen Jing was very surprised, she had been kept in the dark about this matter.

She couldn’t understand why her daughter insisted on sending her baby boy back to L City in the past. Now she understood that her daughter had been forced into it.

Thinking about it made her fearful. Who knows how many things her daughter was still hiding from her?

"Mom, all that’s in the past. Right now, be careful of the people from the Zhu family. I’m afraid that if they are pushed too far, they might lash out."

The safety of the baby boy would be ensured by the Yan family, and naturally, she would take care of her mother’s safety.

"Yes, I’ll try to stay home as much as possible. The same goes for you. If there’s anything related to your work, you can handle it online. It’s not necessary for you to go back to the shop, is it?"

Just as Zhu Qianying was concerned for her mother’s safety, Chen Jing was also worried about her daughter’s safety.

Moreover, if the Zhu family really makes a move, her daughter would probably be the first one in trouble.

"I understand. I’ll also try to stay in as much as possible these days. By the way, how did you manage to escape from Zhu Zhizhou?"

"The security guards saw him clinging on to me, sensed that something was off, and came to help. Only then was I able to get away."

Chen Jing’s affection for Zhu Zhizhou had been completely exhausted five years ago. Yet laughably, Zhu Zhizhou actually had the nerve to plead with her for mercy on account of their past marital bonds.

These things, Chen Jing was not willing to tell her daughter.

From Chen Jing’s perspective, if she hadn’t been weak and incapable, her eldest daughter would never have sacrificed her happiness in the way she did.

Indeed, to outsiders, being able to marry Yan’s young master, the golden bachelor, was a stroke of good luck that many could only dream of even after accumulating several lifetimes of virtue.

However, having spent over twenty years deeply entangled in a wealthy family as she herself had, Chen Jing was adamant that her daughter would not make the same mistakes she did.
