Chapter 428: Chapter 428: The So-Called "Deep Affection Between Siblings

Just as Yanhuang had predicted, Zhu Junwei, after being discharged from the hospital, was indeed busy cleaning up the mess.

Zhu Junwei’s injuries were severe according to the doctor, he needed to rest in the hospital for at least one to two months. However, if he were to truly rest in the hospital, by the time he recovers, Mingxuan might have gone bankrupt.

Therefore, under his persistent insistence, Zhu Zhizhou helped him with his discharge procedures.

The first thing Zhu Junwei did when he returned to the office was to call his grandfather, the old master of the Zhu family. The phone call lasted nearly an hour. After hanging up, Zhu Junwei immediately dialed Zhu Haoming’s number.

Zhu Haoming was someone who was aware of his limits. Knowing that with his identity, staying in the Zhu Family wouldn’t bring him much accomplishment. So after establishing a relationship with Miss Song from the Song Family, he decided to join the Song Family and hadn’t been involved in Mingxuan Group’s affairs for a long time.

So, when Zhu Haoming received Zhu Junwei’s call, he was quite surprised.

"Third Brother? You’ve been discharged?"

Even though he was not involved in Mingxuan’s affairs, Zhu Haoming, being a younger brother, went to visit Zhu Junwei during his hospitalization.

"Yes, do you have time to come back to Mingxuan for a get-together?"

Zhu Haoming paused, "Third Brother, I am not suitable for getting involved in Mingxuan’s affairs."

Zhu Junzhao was still in custody, waiting for his court hearing in mid-month.

For outsiders, they merely watched the show unfold.

As a member of the Zhu Family, Zhu Haoming was not just watching a show, he felt a chill.

In the past, even when Mingxuan was prosperous, he chose to stay away. Now, Mingxuan was on the verge of collapse, coupled with Zhu Junzhao’s predicament, he was even more afraid of Mingxuan and Zhu Junwei.

"Haoming, can’t your third brother even catch up with his brothers these days?" Zhu Junwei’s voice noticeably louder.

Zhu Haoming fell silent.

"If I tell you, our father is about to write his will, will you not come back?"

When things got to this point, it was all about benefits.

In the end, Zhu Haoming still appeared in Zhu Junwei’s office.

"Third Brother, your leg..." When he saw Zhu Junwei sitting in a wheelchair, he was taken aback.

"It’s okay, I can still walk, but the doctor said I’m still recovering and shouldn’t over exert myself, so I’m using the wheelchair for now."

After beckoning Zhu Haoming to sit down, Zhu Junwei got straight to the point.

"Haoming, come back and help your third brother." His tone was much more gentle and polite than on the phone.

Zhu Haoming’s expression changed drastically, "Third Brother..."

Zhu Junwei waved his hand, indicating for him to let him finish.

"Your situation in the Song Family is getting increasingly difficult, isn’t it?"

Ever since Fang Caiping offended Yanhuang, the Song Family had suffered a lot. Zhu Haoming’s father-in-law, who was originally planning to retire, had to return to the Song Family to take control. Zhu Haoming, as a future son-in-law, was quickly put back under scrutiny.

So, when Zhu Junwei said his situation was becoming increasingly difficult, it was true.

"Third Brother, I can handle my own affairs!"

Even if he was brought back under scrutiny, Zhu Haoming was reluctant to return to Mingxuan.

They say keeping company with a lord is like keeping company with a tiger, and being with Zhu Junwei felt just like that.

"Haoming, the Mingxuan Group isn’t big or small. Our eldest brother is waiting for his trial and can’t come out to help in the near future. Our second brother is there, but there is always something missing. Why don’t you come back? The three of us brothers can fight together. Isn’t that good?"

Zhu Junwei had been in charge of Mingxuan for over five years. For the first time, he spoke so humbly to Zhu Haoming.

But the more he did so, the more afraid Zhu Haoming became.

Zhu Junwei could trap his own biological older brother, let alone a half-brother like him.

"Third Brother, sorry, I’m not really in a position to come back at the moment. Besides, with my wife the way she is now, I don’t dare to upset her."

Zhu Junwei’s patience was limited, and after a few unsuccessful attempts at persuasion, he spat contemptuously.

"Look at how pathetic you are. Are you planning to have your child take on the Song surname when she’s born?"

Zhu Haoming didn’t seem to care much, "What surname doesn’t matter. Regardless, whoever’s name he takes, he’ll still be my child."

He was also a Zhu, but he hadn’t received any benefits from the Zhu Family. He wasn’t a Song, but he had received far more from the Song Family than he had from the Zhu Family.

"Since you put it that way, I won’t force you."

Zhu Junwei didn’t actually have much patience to talk to Zhu Haoming. After all, Zhu Haoming, in his current state, wasn’t of much use to him.

Of course, if Zhu Haoming took over the Song Family, that would be a different story.

After Zhu Haoming left Mingxuan, he aimlessly wandered the streets. Later, somehow, he ended up near Yanhuang Group.

His car was parked at the junction, and from afar, he could see Yanhuang Group’s office building standing prominently among other buildings, catching the eyes of many.

Seeing the Yanhuang Building, Zhu Haoming naturally thought of Zhu Qianying and her mother and sister.

Actually, compared to Zhu Qianying and her sister, his status in the Zhu Family was somewhat stronger. At least, he never had to worry about food or clothing from a young age. He drove luxury cars, enjoyed exquisite food, and his mother was much shrewder than Chen Jing, tricking a lot of money out of Zhu Zhizhou over the years.

Unlike Chen Jing, who was steadfastly loyal to Zhu Zhizhou for decades and got nothing in return.

But now, Zhu Qianying and her sister seemed wise for leaving the Zhu Family, the source of conflicts, early on.

Moreover, the two sisters have managed to rise to prominence. By now, they have soared to great heights, far above him and living in a completely different world.

Actually, Zhu Haoming only thought Zhu Qianying and her sister had soared to great heights, but he didn’t consider that if one was originally a common bird, even if they flew to the top of a tree, they still couldn’t turn into a phoenix.

The traffic light was red for a considerable time, Zhu Haoming stared at the Yanhuang Building for too long, an idea popped into his mind.

Should he go to Yanhuang Group to find Yanhuang, or should he go directly to Zhu Qianying and plead with her?

Long before this, the matter of Fang Caiping infuriating Yanhuang was no secret. His wife knew about it shortly after and had asked him several times to seek Zhu Qianying’s forgiveness.

But in the past, he had bullied Zhu Qianying and her sister along with Zhu Haokang. Even though most of these incidents happened when they were young and ignorant, and he hadn’t done anything childish since becoming an adult, he still couldn’t bring himself to face Zhu Qianying and ask for her forgiveness.

Moreover, even if Zhu Qianying was willing to forgive his mother, it didn’t mean Yanhuang was willing to let it go.

In the end, Yanhuang’s extreme affection for Zhu Qianying and her son was widely known in the upper class society.

People were saying Yanhuang was willing to sever ties with the Yi Family, a friendship of several decades, for Zhu Qianying.

Some said Yanhuang, for Zhu Qianying’s sake, wasted time and money to meticulously set up a trap, making Zhu Junwei and Mingxuan tumble.

Zhu Haoming didn’t think he was able to handle Yanhuang, so he decided not to seek mercy after all.
