Chapter 469: Chapter 469: Cherish the Person in Front of You

The questions in Yan’s heart were soon answered.

Bai Shao suggested going back to the private restaurant to resolve lunch issues. Zhu Qianying, of course, raised no objections, so the Yan family’s driver took them straight back to the restaurant.

Bai Shao and Xiaolu went to the toilet, baby boy ran to play at the storefront, leaving only Zhu Qianying and Yan in the office.

"Yan, do you know Zong Zhe from City B?"

Yan’s face hardened, "Him? Isn’t he dead? He’s Bai Lu’s father?"

Being a man of his intelligence, he instantly connected this man with Bai Shao.

Zhu Qianying also looked serious, "Yes, he is Bai Lu’s father! And Xiao Shao doesn’t seem to know that Zong Zhe has passed away."

Yan immediately understood, "Hmm, don’t worry, I won’t tell."

Zong Zhe was once a very famous figure among people their age.

Only recently did Zhu Qianying find out that when Yan took over Yanhuang at the age of eighteen, Yan from L City, Ji Yu from R City, and Zong Zhe from City B, were known as the three young heroes at that time.

However, these past events are rarely mentioned now, especially since one of the three young heroes, Zong Zhe, passed away a few years ago.

When a person dies, everything ends, and there is no more to talk about.

Hearing Zhu Qianying’s description, Yan couldn’t help but sigh.

"Ying’er, thank you for letting me know about baby boy’s existence."

The thought of almost ending up like Zong Zhe, oblivious of his own fatherhood, clenched Yan’s heart with anxiety.

Although it sounded dramatic to say and hear, Yan didn’t mind repeating it once or several times.

Zhu Qianying glared at him without replying.

As for the meaning behind that glare, perhaps only Zhu Qianying and Yan knew.

"Tsk, those flirtatious glances, you should pay attention to your surroundings while showing affection!"

Bai Shao’s teasing remarks came over with a laugh, as she flashed into the room.

"Where’s Xiaolu?"

Zhu Qianying ignored her friend’s teasing and looked behind her.

"Baby boy took her out for a walk. Anyways, they are both cunning, and won’t be tricked by anyone!"

Regarding the conduct of these two naughty children, Bai Shao seemed to know them well.

However, there was nothing to worry about, as the Yan family’s bodyguards would follow them.

"Weren’t they bitter enemies just now? So they are getting along now?"

Zhu Qianying was also puzzled. Baby boy was usually very friendly to children his age, she didn’t understand why he and Xiaolu were always at odds.

On the way back, Zhu Qianying and Bai Shao were chatting on one side while the two naughty children were arguing all the way. She didn’t know what they were arguing about, but they both stubbornly held their own views and didn’t give in to each other.

"Yes, they left arguing!"

Bai Shao sat down on the sofa while speaking.

Yan and Zong Zhe used to know each other well. Now, Yan began to carefully assess Bai Shao.

Bai Shao, like Zhu Qianying, was a frank woman. The look in her eyes, open-hearted and straightforward, made it easy to imagine that she was similar to Zhu Qianying in being independent and assertive.

Yan had heard that Zong Zhe had a girlfriend, but he hadn’t met her. Unexpectedly, he met her now, and even his daughter, while Zong Zhe himself would never see his own daughter again.

Yan sighed privately, feeling more and more the importance of cherishing the people around him. Otherwise, he might end up like Zong Zhe one day, wanting to cherish and love but being separated by life and death.

Bai Shao didn’t know that Yan and Zong Zhe had been good friends, let alone that Zong Zhe had passed away. After all, she and Zong Zhe parted amicably; Bai Lu was just an accident.

"Ying Zi, I came back this time because my father is old and I just want to fulfill my filial duty. I never planned to look for Zong Zhe, nor inform him of his daughter."

This was Bai Shao’s private explanation to Zhu Qianying for her return, as well as a statement about her daughter’s future direction.

As a close friend, all Zhu Qianying could do was to silently support Bai Shao and hold on to a secret as long as she could.

After Bai Shao and her daughter finished lunch at the private restaurant, the store wasn’t busy. Everyone gathered for tea and chatted until the afternoon before the Yan family’s driver took them back to Bai Shao’s adoptive father, Bai Xiangdong’s house.

Zhu Qianying didn’t know Zong Zhe, but Yan cautioned her after Bai Shao and her daughter left.

"Ying’er, I don’t know what Bai Shao’s planning, but if she doesn’t want the people of the Zong family to know about Bai Lu, it would be best to keep Bai Lu from meeting Zong Zhe’s family. Because Bai Lu’s facial features are quite similar to Zong Zhe’s, especially her expression when she smiles, it is uncannily similar to Zong Zhe’s. "

Yan was quite familiar with Zong Zhe, but had no relationship with Zong’s family, so he was unconditionally on Zhu Qianying’s side.

"Yes, I will warn her."

In the evening, Zhu Qianying had just seen baby boy to bed when she received a call from Bai Shao.

"Ying Zi, can you help me find an apartment with two rooms and a living room to rent?"

Zhu Qianying had already mentally prepared for this. The last time she went to see Uncle Dong, the place was marked for demolition. On the way back, Yan mentioned that by mid-year at the latest, the entire area would be cleared for demolition.

It was indeed inconvenient for a child as young as Xiaolu to live there.

"Is Uncle Dong willing to move out with you?" As far as Zhu Qianying knew, Bai Xiangdong was quite obstinate.

"Um..."

From what Zhu Qianying heard from Bai Shao’s tone, she guessed vaguely, "Did you have a fight over Xiaolu?"

Bai Shao let out a long sigh. "Yes... I was cursed heavily."

Zhu Qianying was quite puzzled, "So how did he finally agree to move out with you?"

"Xiaolu, that girl used all the tricks she had, she threatened him by saying that if he didn’t move along, she would squat here for good like a holdout. That’s how my father had to agree!"

With this explanation from Bai Shao, Zhu Qianying finally relieved her worries.

"So, Uncle Dong has forgiven you? And he has accepted Xiaolu?"

"Yes, Xiaolu is now clinging to him, asking him to tell her stories about my childhood!"

Five years ago, when Zhu Qianying told her mom she was pregnant, at first, her mom couldn’t accept it. But soon, she took the initiative to deal with the baby’s affairs and never mentioned aborting the baby.

It seems that old people probably can’t resist children.

This made her think of Yan’s words again.

"Xiao Shao, does Xiaolu look more like you or her father?"

Zhu Qianying had never met Zong Zhe, so she could only ask like this.

"She resembles her father more, especially when she laughs!" After so many years, Bai Shao seemed to have let go. At least she seemed to have done so on the surface.

"If that’s the case, you better be careful, to avoid any trouble from his side."
