Chapter 326: Chapter 326: Entanglement with the Zhu Family

Yan Shao conveyed the message that their son would be coming home tomorrow to Zhu Qianying. Zhu Qianying felt equally thrilled, after all, like Yan Shao, she hadn’t seen her son for many days.

"Should we wait for baby to return tomorrow, then take Star to get his vaccine together, or should we take Star to get his shots first before we all go to pick up the baby?"

Without Yan Shao’s suggestion, Zhu Qianying had already voluntarily stated that all actions would be carried out together tomorrow.

Yan Shao pondered for a moment, "How about we get Star vaccinated first before we go get him? So that the little boy won’t feel bad seeing Star sick."

Zhu Qianying also thought his idea made sense, so she scheduled a morning appointment at the Animal Hospital for the next day, and then they would all go to the airport to pick up the two old men and the little boy.

After hanging up the phone, Yan Shao resumed his overtime work, while Zhu Qianying continued to read the news about the car accident.

Just now, she really wanted to ask Yan Shao if he was behind Zhu Jun Wei’s car accident.

But a few times, the words were at the tip of her tongue, yet she couldn’t get them out.

She was quite clear that asking such questions was meaningless.

Although her world had been filled with exclusion and disdain since childhood, she really had minimal exposure to fights and killings.

It was for this reason that when she experienced such a situation in Country M, she was deeply concerned about her precious son’s safety.

And now, Zhu Junwei’s experience served as a reminder to her that she was very close to blood and death.

She doesn’t consider herself a saint. When she found out that everything she went through in Country M was due to Zhu Junwei, she was furious and saddened at the same time.

She had no deep hatred towards Zhu Junwei. Even regarding the Zhu family, she hadn’t done anything out of line. The fact that the Mingxuan Group couldn’t get loans was an internal issue. Zhu Zhizhou wanted her as a bargaining chip for Yan Shao’s help, but by what right? She was just unlucky to be born into the Zhu family, she wasn’t their slave, so why did they simply assume that she should sacrifice herself for them?

Additionally, Zhu Zhizhou had already accepted a one billion dowry from Yan Shao, so in the end, they weren’t at a loss either.

Given that the Zhu family had already taken advantage of everything, why did Zhu Junwei, for whatever reason, harm his half-sister?

It made her shudder to think about it. If she hadn’t urgently returned to the jewelry store that day, she would have been buried in a fire. Even if she hadn’t been killed, she would likely have suffered serious injuries. Alternatively, she just happened to be in the car when it exploded, and she was sure she wouldn’t have survived.

The most fortunate thing was that Zhu Junwei at that time didn’t know about their son’s existence. Otherwise, the consequences could have been unimaginable.

Thinking about all these things being the ruthless deeds of Zhu Junwei made her feel that his downfall was just retribution for all his crimes.

Based on the information available online, Zhu Junwei should have passed the critical stage of his condition by now. However, his injuries were severe, but specifics were not provided online.

Just as Zhu Qianying was about to search for more information about Zhu Junwei’s car accident and the confiscation of the Mingxuan Group, her QQ started flashing.

The flashing avatar was her sister, Zhu Qianyu.

Zhu Qianying clicked on the flashing avatar and accepted her video invitation.

Zhu Qianyu’s face appeared on the screen. The first thing she spoke about was the issue with Mingxuan.

"Sister, you already know about the Mingxuan incident, right?"

Zhu Qianying had anticipated that her sister would bring up the matter, "Yes, I saw it on the Internet. Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with us. Treat it as a play and take care of your health."

The fact that Xiao Yu contacted her at this time probably meant she had just found out about the incident, suggesting that the Ji family had deliberately kept it from her to spare her the stress.

"They didn’t cause any trouble for you and mom, right?"

Ever since Zhu Qianyu became pregnant, she had become a high-priority figure for protection in the Ji family. They didn’t even let her go on location shoots, let alone participate in shoots in their own studio. For this period of time, she had been going back to the studio every day, either writing scripts in the office or helping Tian Fang arrange things for the artists.

"Why would they cause trouble for mom and me? Okay, you focus on keeping healthy. You don’t have to worry about this, I’ll handle it."

Zhu Qianying didn’t want to tell Xiao Yu about Zhu Junwei’s troubles, not because she wanted to destroy her illusions about the Zhu family, but because she didn’t want to taint Xiao Yu’s mind.

"Sister, I heard Mingxuan’s downfall this time was because they offended Yan Shao. Including Zhu Junwei’s car accident, was it because of this too?"

But Zhu Qianyu was no longer the naive eighteen-year-old girl of the past.

She had her own social circle and it was impossible to keep everything from her, even if the people in Ji family and Zhu Qianying deliberately hid it from her.

"Xiao Yu, don’t believe in rumors. Yan Shao and Zhu family have lost contact a long time ago. How can people who have no contact offend each other?"

Even if it couldn’t be kept from her, Zhu Qianying still refused to admit it. How could she tell her sister that she had been threatened in such a lethal way before she came home?

As for what happened at the Pavilion of Ease that night, when Zhu Junwei and Yi Wei conspired against Yan Shao. She found it even harder to speak about.

"Sister, we might not fully understand what’s really going on. But if there’s anything, remember to tell me. Even if I can’t solve it, there’s still Ji Huan, right?"

Zhu Qianying remembered every help and favor she, her mother, and sister received from the Ji family over the years. But because of this, she didn’t want to bother the Ji family all the time.

Indeed, the Ji family had the ability to help, but she didn’t think she had the position or status to constantly accept people’s help and gifts.

Furthermore, with regards to the incident with Mingxuan and Zhu Junwei, Yan Shao will handle it. As for her and her mom, they’ll just have to be more cautious around the people from Zhu family, there’s no need to bother the Ji family all the time.

Zhu Qianying chatted with Xiao Yu for about ten minutes, and then excused herself from the conversation, citing radiation concerns.

She thought that would be the end of it, but half an hour later, she received a call from Ji Huan.

"Ying Zi, are you okay?"

Ji Huan’s voice was as bright and powerful as usual.

"My mother and I are fine, don’t worry. Has that girl Xiao Yu gone to sleep?"

"Yes, she just fell asleep. She’s been worried about your and mom’s safety. But don’t blame me for being nagging, the people of Zhu family, they’re capable of anything. Why don’t you and your mom come to R City to avoid them for a bit? The new villa is ready, you and mom can move in anytime, bring baby with you, it will be lively."

Ji Huan did not mention Yan Shao, probably knowing the awkward relationship between Zhu Qianying and Yan Shao at the moment.

"Ji Huan, thank you. My mother and I will be careful. Just take good care of Xiao Yu and keep her from overthinking."
