Chapter 373: Chapter 373: Caring for the Rival in Love?

This meal surprisingly turned out to be quite peaceful.

Yan Han naturally took on the role of the host, and surprisingly, Cheng Ye was exceptionally gentle, completely without the confrontational posture he had previously shown when he was with Young Master Yan. This puzzled Zhu Qianying.

Of course, she didn’t wish to see Yan Han and Cheng Ye openly arguing, it was just unexpected that things didn’t seem to be going in the way she imagined.

After dinner, Cheng Ye genuinely asked for Qin Xiu’s phone number.

At the restaurant entrance, they bid each other farewell. Cheng Ye took a taxi back to the jewelry store, Zhu Qianying and the baby boy were driven back to the Yan Family by Yan Family’s driver, and Yan Han was driven back to Yanhuang by his driver.

Yan Han instructed the driver to drive directly into the underground parking, and from the basement he took the lift straight to his office floor.

As Yan Han stepped out of the elevator, he saw Qin Xiu walking towards him with a huge stack of files.

As soon as he saw him, Qin Xiu looked him over seriously, "Sir, didn’t you meet with Miss Yi?"

Yan Han slightly furrowed his brow, "Why would I meet her?"

Qin Xiu looked at him again, "She’s been waiting for you in the reception area downstairs since noon!"

"Let her be!" Yan Han said indifferent, and walked directly into the reception hall.

Ever since that night at the Pavilion of Ease, Yan Han put Yi Wei on his blacklist, and had instructed the receptionist to tell Yi Wei that he was not available. Family Yi were also to be kept out of his visits by any means possible.

Therefore, it was an uphill battle for Yi Wei to see him.

Before, Qin Xiu never had a good impression of Yi Wei. After watching the drama unfold that night, and seeing the disturbance caused by the Yi Family at Yanhuang, he despised her even more.

"Sir, have you heard?" Qin Xiu turned back and caught up with Yan Han.

"What?"

Yan Han pushed open the office door and walked straight in, sitting down.

"Wang Family from D City are said to be marrying into Yi Family..."

Yan Han opened the files on the table, looking down at them, "So what?"

For Yan Han, the Yi Family and Yi Wei were now completely unrelated to him.

If it were not for the past connections between the Yi Family, Yi Wei and the Yan Family, how could the Yi Family’s crisis have been resolved by with a bit of financial turbulence?

"The person Yi Wei is set to marry is the eldest son of the Wang Family."

The Wang Family in D City held a similar status to Yan Family in L City.

However, it was commonly known that the eldest son of the Wang Family was not only over thirty years old, but he was also physically handicapped.

As a handicapped person, his case wasn’t extremely severe, he just needed a wheelchair to get around for the most part due to a car accident when he was a teenager, causing inconvenience to his legs and feet.

"That’s her business!"

Yan Han felt that he was not a savior. The Yi Family and Yi Wei brought this upon themselves, they couldn’t blame anyone else.

If she was willing to marry a disabled man for the benefit of her family, that was her business, what did it have to do with him?

"Alright, I’ll instruct the reception desk to escort Yi Wei out!"

Yan Han neither approved nor disapproved, just continuing to look at his documents.

Qin Xiu walked up to the door when Yan Han suddenly stopped him, "You know Cheng Ye, right?"

Qin Xiu turned his head to look at him, "The owner of Ying Jewelry?"

"Yes, Ying Jewelry is planning to set up its domestic headquarters in L City, and open three more branches. If he asks you about store locations, be sure to accommodate him."

Qin Xiu was a little unclear about Yan Han’s intentions, "Sir, by accommodate, do you mean..."

Does he mean to take care of his needs? Or was he planning to create obstacles?

"Take care of him!"

Qin Xiu was a bit surprised. According to Kai Zi, wasn’t Cheng Ye his master’s rival in love?

"All right, I understand!"

...

The next day, news of Miss Yi Family marrying the eldest son of Wang Family in D City spread throughout L City. Even Zhu Qianying overheard it from the casual talks of Yan Family’s servants. She was surprised, but didn’t think much of it.

Yan Han was a fierce tiger by nature. Yi Wei knowingly provoked him, and got bitten all over. She couldn’t blame anyone else, she deserved it.

The stock price of Yi Family increased gradually as a result of their impending marriage to the wealthy Wang Family. The banks and clients that had been urgently pressing for repayment before gradually became silent. The Yi Family seemed to have a lifeline.

The news from Zhu Family, on the other hand, was considerably more secretive. Compared to the Yi Family, their situation not only involve financial troubles, but also criminal offences, making the nature of the issue more severe and confidential.

Plus, Zhu Qianying was honestly too busy and didn’t have much time to inquire about Zhu Family’s gossip.

On the day after the Lantern Festival, Cheng Ye invited her to go see shop locations with him. Of course, Qin Xiu was also present.

Upon his boss’s order, Qin Xiu treated Cheng Ye very well. So, when he received a call from Cheng Ye that afternoon, he was especially attentive. After understanding their needs, he provided several options for locations and specific places, and agreed to go there and see them together the next day.

And naturally, as the head designer of Ying Jewelry and a good friend of the boss, Zhu Qianying would accompany Cheng Ye to see the shops.

"Shadows, I think this place is fine!"

Picking a few shops out of the hundreds that Yanhuang Group owned in L City to meet Cheng Ye’s requirements wasn’t difficult.

So, Cheng Ye was very satisfied with the two-storey shop in the central district. Zhu Qianying followed Cheng Ye and Qin Xiu for a tour, and she also thought it was quite nice.

"Yes, it’s really good!" Zhu Qianying nodded in agreement.

Qin Xiu watched the interaction between the two, and somehow felt uncomfortable. While both behaved properly, and neither did anything excessive, he could sense that something was wrong.

After inspecting the shop, Cheng Ye said he would go back to think things over. Zhu Qianying hadn’t been back to the jewelry shop in several days, so she had the Yan Family’s driver drop both Cheng Ye and herself at the jewelry shop.

After returning to Yanhuang Group, Qin Xiu reported back the situation thoroughly to Yan Han. Yan Han, who was preoccupied with work, simply acknowledged his report with a "I know" and didn’t ask any further questions.

"Sir..."

There were some things that Qin Xiu didn’t know whether to say or not.

"Speak up!"

Understanding and mutual consent is always bilateral and not one-sided. As the two had worked together for more than ten years, it was not only Qin Xiu who knew Yan Han well - Yan Han also had the same understanding of Qin Xiu.

"The boss of Ying Jewelry..."

"Hmm?!" For the first time, Yan Han raised his head, "How is it? Is he unsatisfied with the price?"

Qin Xiu shook his head, "No, that’s not it. He even asked about the price in detail, suggesting he might buy the shop outright."

"What’s the problem then?" Yan Han showed unexpected patience. Perhaps, because it was something related to Zhu Qianying, his patience was slightly extended.

"I feel like he still hasn’t given up on Shadows..."
