Chapter 452: Chapter 452 The Situation Has Changed!

First thing Monday morning, Zhu Qianying and Yan took their baby boy to school, then returned together to Yanhuang Group.

Most companies start work around nine o’clock.

But for Yanhuang Group, the start time is eight o’clock, and as for Yan himself, he usually returned to the company at seven-thirty, provided there was nothing else on his itinerary.

Start time for their kid’s school was even earlier, seven o’clock.

The school was not far from the Yanhuang Group, so once they sent the baby off, they returned to Yan’s office. It was exactly seven-thirty.

Upon sitting down, they hadn’t even had a chance to have a cup of tea, and there was already a knock at the door. Entering was a face they did not recognize.

"Good morning, Young Master Yan, Madam Yan."

The man, in his forties, smiled cordially while saying hello to Zhu Qianying.

Zhu Qianying greeted the man back with a slight nod of her head. This man, clearly, recognized her identity. Likely, he was a Yanhuang employee.

Zhu Qianying, the titular "Young Master Yan’s wife" and Tong Family matriarch, could only wish she knew more about the capable subordinates working for Yan.

Qin Xiu and Ke Kai were the only ones she knew reasonably well, and with whom she had a private connection.

"Ying’er, this is Mr. Su, the head of our company’s legal department."

After brief introductions and small talk, they directly addressed the matter at hand. They were all busy people, not given to idle chit-chat during working hours.

The transfer agreement was thorough. Zhu Qianying read over it carefully before signing her name. Yan, on the other hand, didn’t even look at it and simply signed his name behind hers.

The matter was quickly settled. After Mr. Su left, Zhu Qianying arose to take her leave as well.

Yan was about to say something to detain her when Qin Xiu suddenly knocked and entered, announcing that the Chairman of Song Corporation requested a meeting.

Zhu Qianying was now even less inclined to stay, as she knew that the chairman of Song Corporation was her fourth brother Zhu Haoming’s father-in-law. The thought of the complicated relations within the Zhu family left her feeling disheartened.

But Qin Xiu turned to her and said, "Your brother, the fourth young master of the Zhu family, is also here!"

Yan tapped the table lightly with his pen. "Let them in," he said, with considerable amusement.

Zhu Qianying stood up. "Then I..."

"Ying’er, stay. Let Zhu Haoming experience the feeling of asking for favors," Yan interrupted Zhu Qianying and made the decision for her.

Zhu Qianying rarely mentioned her grievances with the Zhu family in front of him, neither did she express any resentment or hate towards them.

On the surface, it seemed like she held no emotional ties to the Zhu family.

But Yan felt that she did... she must hate the Zhu Family.

It’s just that the costs and consequences of hatred were too deep, which made her reluctant to confront it.

But for Yan, seeking retribution for Zhu Qianying was an easy matter.

In the past, even when he thought he wasn’t interested in Zhu Qianying, he couldn’t bear to see her bullied by the Zhu family.

Now, having acknowledged his feelings for her, he could never allow the Zhu family to bully her again.

Zhu Qianying looked at him in surprise. It has been a long time since he spoke to her with such a dominant tone.

She raised her head to look at Yan, meeting his deep black eyes. There was no sign of dominance in his gaze, instead, it was filled with compassion and affection.

"Alright then..."

If the heavens want her to see this good show, so be it.

Maybe Yan was right. It was time for her to see Zhu Haoming’s pathetic pleading.

Qin Xiu had already gone out to instruct the front desk lady to let the visitors in. He himself went to the elevator to welcome them.

As the CEO of Yanhuang Group, it was understandable that Yan was rather aloof and tended to ignore people. But Song Corporation was a prestigious family in L City, so some respect ought to be shown, right?

That respect, naturally, was given by Qin Xiu as Yan’s special assistant.

"Chairman Song, Director Zhu, Young Master Yan is waiting for you in his office. Please, this way," Qin Xiu politely addressed the two men who had just emerged from the elevator.

Song Zhicheng and his son-in-law Zhu Haoming returned Qin Xiu’s courtesy with warm words. Compared to Yi Changxing, Song Zhicheng’s attitude was much more humble.

It made sense. The Song family didn’t have any special relations with the Yan family, only some business collaborations. There were no private relations between them.

Right now, he was here asking for a favor, so naturally, he needed to lower his stance.

When Qin Xiu led them into Yan’s office, Yan and Zhu Qianying were chatting in the reception area of the office.

Upon seeing Zhu Qianying, Zhu Haoming and even Song Zhicheng were taken by surprise.

Tricky Qin Xiu deliberately didn’t mention Zhu Qianying was there.

Nevertheless, Song Zhicheng was a man of the world. Upon seeing Zhu Qianying, he respectfully greeted, "Madam Yan."

And Zhu Qianying, responding with, "Chairman Song," gave Zhu Haoming a small smile, but she didn’t even bother calling him "third brother."

It wasn’t that she was being arrogant now. It’s just that, since many years ago, she stopped addressing the Zhu siblings as brothers and sisters, as they had oppressed her and Xiao Yu.

The occasional addresses were full of mockery and didn’t contain a shred of sibling feelings at all. Of course, just like her disgust for her siblings, they also had no desire to have her and Xiao Yu as daughters.

But now, how the tables have turned!

With such thoughts in mind, Zhu Qianying watched Zhu Haoming with a smile full of mockery.

Seeing Zhu Qianying, Zhu Haoming was even more embarrassed than Song Zhicheng. But there was nothing he could do. After all, he was here to beg, and the person he was begging was the husband of his half-sister.

"Ying’er, long time no see!" Zhu Haoming smiled warmly towards Zhu Qianying.

Zhu Qianying just nodded her head, her eyes full of laughter.

"Yes, long time no see!" If she were not Yan’s wife, Zhu Haoming probably wouldn’t even miss her.

Indeed, it didn’t make much of a difference whether they saw each other or not.

In fact, from Zhu Qianying’s viewpoint, it was better if they didn’t see each other.

Zhu Haoming felt increasingly awkward, he laughed nervously, "Ying’er, you’ve grown up and become more beautiful!"

Yan snorted. "Ying’er has always been beautiful. It’s just that some people were blind and didn’t appreciate it."

Zhu Haoming was completely taken aback, he didn’t know what to do with his hands and feet. Zhu Qianying, on the other hand, was not only going to help Zhu Haoming escape from the awkward situation, but she was actually enjoying it. She picked up her cup of tea and took a sip, reveling in the situation.

In the past, she and her mother were often bullied at the Zhu family. Zhu Haoming might not have been one of the bullies, but he often gloated from the sideline, never having helped her once.

Now, the one enjoying the show was her, she didn’t feel guilty at all.

She was not a saint, she never required herself to be impeccably virtuous, let alone to be flawless to the point of being a textbook example.
