Chapter 461: Chapter 461: The Lowest Level of the Food Chain, Flame Young Master

"Mmm, I have to meet with a very important client," Young Master Yan didn’t hide the truth.

Since he noticed Zhu Qianying’s honesty, he started to face her with more truthfulness as well.

"Invite Brother Qin to join you then!"

Young Master Yan utterly didn’t want to, "No need, the secretary already arranged lunch for him."

If he hadn’t been able to have a romantic lunch, at least for a business lunch, he ought not to have to bring along an overly intrusive third wheel!

Zhu Qianying understood Young Master Yan’s thoughts, and didn’t insist further. She just smiled without saying much.

At lunch, the two had been chatting about some funny things about their son when people at the neighboring table suddenly exclaimed in a loud voice.

"Do you have so much money? Dare to buy Mingxuan’s shares? They have dropped so much! The trial for the former president of Mingxuan Group will start next Monday, and by then, the stock price is likely to sink even lower."

Zhu Qianying and Young Master Yan glanced at each other, and after that, no one brought up the topic. Zhu Qianying didn’t want to mention people from Zhu Family, not wishing to spoil her mood and appetite, while Young Master Yan didn’t mention them because he didn’t want to see Zhu Qianying being upset.

However, on the way home, Zhu Qianying couldn’t help but search on the internet for some information about the Zhu Family.

Actually, she regularly paid attention to the Zhu Family’s actions. But these past few days, she was so hectic with the affairs of the jewelry store and the restaurant that she totally forgot about Zhu Junzhao’s trial next Monday.

Regarding Zhu Junzhao’s case, the internet did not show much information. Apparently, the Zhu and Zhu families had spent a lot of money on Zhu Junzhao’s case.

Similarly, much about Mingxuan Group isn’t revealed through internet searches.

Actually, those negative reports and unfavorable news are typically removed from the internet shortly after being posted.

Most of the time, if Zhu Qianying really wants to find out something, she usually directly calls Qi Xiao or Xing Bailun. The pieces of information she gets this way are always more authentic and detailed than those circulated online.

When Young Master Yan was seeing her off to the car earlier, he asked her, "Do you want to attend the hearing on Monday?"

Zhu Qianying shook her head to decline. By her asking this, was he planning to attend?

But thinking about it, Young Master Yan might not have that leisure time.

If it were about Zhu Junwei, there might be a possibility, but if it’s about Zhu Junzhao, it’s different.

He was nothing more than a pitiful and tragic scapegoat. There’s no point in watching what will happen to him.

What happened with the Zhu family didn’t create much of a stir in Zhu Qianying’s heart. She was too busy with the restaurant’s opening preparations lately.

Although they had been preparing for it for quite some time, there still seemed to be a lot of unfinished things.

The one thing to be grateful for was, due to the online booking system, they didn’t need to worry about business for the upcoming week.

Moreover, with her mother’s cooking skills, Zhu Qianying was one hundred percent certain that they would maintain this situation in which advance booking is required for a long time.

On Saturday, the day of the restaurant opening, early in the morning, Zhu Qianying and her mother took her son back to the restaurant. As soon as she got out of the car, she saw several large flower baskets at the door. As Zhu Qianying and her group approached, a young man came to greet them.

"Excuse me, are you Miss Zhu?"

"Yes, I am!"

"These are baskets of flowers sent from Mr. Yan as a congratulatory gesture. Please sign here!"

Zhu Qianying swiftly signed and noted that there were exactly eight flower baskets.

For Young Master Yan, these eight flower baskets certainly didn’t cost much, but they showed his sincerity.

"Hmm, it seems Daddy knows social etiquette!"

The little boy strutted around the eight baskets and came to this conclusion.

Chen Jing had already opened the restaurant’s door, and entered the kitchen to prepare. Zhu Qianying and her son stayed at the entrance to set up the flower baskets.

After hearing her son’s words, Zhu Qianying couldn’t help laughing.

"Baby, you better not let your Daddy hear this!"

The little boy helped Zhu Qianying move the flower baskets to the front because the baskets had ’congratulations from Yan Hanhe’ written on them, which could surely generate a good advertising effect.

After all, in L City, although there are many people who have not seen Young Master Yan in person, excluding children, there wouldn’t probably be anyone who hadn’t heard of his name!

"What if he hears it? He wouldn’t dare to hit me!"

The little boy looked self-satisfied, making Zhu Qianying want to pinch him a few times.

"Who’s so bold as to hit my baby?"

The familiar voice rang out. The little boy shrank back, tugged at Zhu Qianying’s clothes, and made a face at her.

Zhu Qianying looked at her son and then raised her eyes to look at Young Master Yan who was approaching her in the morning light.

"Apart from you, who else would dare?"

Zhu Qianying immediately betrayed her son without any regard to his silly faces and pleas.

The little boy glared at Zhu Qianying, let her go, and quickly rolled to Young Master Yan’s side. He grabbed Young Master Yan waist and rubbed his head against him.

"Daddy, don’t listen to Mommy’s nonsense. The baby just said that you wouldn’t dare to hit me! Right?"

Young Master Yan bent down to pick up the little boy, and kissed him fiercely a few times on the face.

"Of course, how dare I hit the young master?" Young Master Yan pretended to look miserable.

Just as the little lord was about to say something, Zhu Qianying interrupted seriously.

"Young Master Yan, this won’t do! As a father, you have to behave like one. When it’s time to hit or scold, you must not be lenient!"

The little lord panicked, wriggling from Young Master Yan’s embrace and tried to jump into Zhu Qianying’s arms, "Oh, Mommy, I’ve been very good!"

Zhu Qianying then smiled and held him. As soon as the little boy hurled himself into her arms, he grabbed her neck and playfully bit her neck.

However, he wasn’t using much strength though.

"Mommy is bad, teaming up with Daddy to bully me!"

The little boy complained about her misconduct in her ear while Zhu Qianying bit her lip, doing her best not to laugh.

"Who’s so bold as to bully our baby?"

This time, the voice came from the supreme empress dowager of Yan family, Yan’s old lady.

"Granny, Mommy and Daddy are bullying me..."

The little boy pouted, his tiny face wrinkled up, looking as pitiful as he could.

The old lady walked up to Young Master Yan and unexpectedly gave him a knock on his head.

"Oh, Granny takes care of you. He won’t dare to do it again!"

Young Master Yan looked innocently at the old lady, but she shook her head and headed toward Zhu Qianying, raising her hand.

The little boy immediately stared nervously at the old lady’s hand. "Granny...", he opened his mouth wanting to plead for Zhu Qianying, his body stiffening, shielding Zhu Qianying.

The old lady knew exactly what was going on in the little boy’s mind. She raised her hand but then put it down again.

"Your Mommy is so kind, she wouldn’t normally bully others. It must’ve been your Daddy who instigated her!"

Having said that, she turned around and gave Young Master Yan another knock.
