Chapter 525: Chapter 525: Young Flame Retrieves the Scriptures

He believed that he should be thoroughly prepared if he wanted another child, ensuring every aspect was taken care of, especially ensuring Zhu Qianying’s safety before considering having a second child.

And his version of preparation included taking notes from Ji Yu, the eldest young master of the Ji family.

With such a plan in mind, the young master of the Yan family finished work a bit earlier than usual in the afternoon, joined his wife and son, and his mother-in-law, to make a trip to R City.

Due to recent unrest and safety concerns, the small family traveled directly by private jet, arriving in R City just as it was getting dark.

Since Zhu Qianyu’s baby was due later in the year, the Ji family had recently moved to a new villa to provide a more convenient space for the children to play.

Interestingly, the Ji Family’s new villa was also built by the water, and the scenery included a mountain.

As soon as they had disembarked, Beibei and Guoguo, who had heard about the arrival of the little boy, rushed to hug him.

The three little ones chattered away playfully as they entered the house. Zhu Qianying and others greeted the Ji family and all the women walked in front. Ji Yu, Ji Huan, and Yan followed behind, entering the house consecutively.

At this time of day, all the children were already hungry. Therefore, once they entered, they washed their hands and immediately sat down to dinner.

"Aunt Tong, where is Uncle Ji?"

Zhu Qianying noticed that Ji Rui, the head of the Ji family, was not at the table, and so she asked.

"He’s doing some handover work..." Le Tong gave a quick reply, then went busy urging everyone to eat.

Ji Huan, noticing Zhu Qianying’s puzzled look, explained, "My mom and dad are preparing for their retirement, so they’ve been busy with the transition."

Zhu Qianying had an epiphany.

Once Le Tong had finished inviting everyone to eat, she returned to answer Zhu Qianying’s earlier question.

"Xiao Yu’s baby will arrive soon, and in the first few months, both Xiao Yu and the baby will need someone close to take care of them. Beibei and Guoguo are still young, and I’m not comfortable entirely handing Xiao Yu and the baby over to a nanny. Plus, Ji and I fancy your parents’ leisurely lifestyle, so we decided to retire."

Unlike Mrs. Yan, Le Tong is a strong woman outside of the home, and very virtous within it.

Even now, she often cooks for her family and takes care of Beibei and Guoguo. For her, it’s a pleasure rather than a burden.

Therefore, it was not surprising that she chose to return to the family for Xiao Yu and the baby.

"Sister Tong, thank you for your hard work."

After hearing Le Tong’s words, Chen Jing understood that Le Tong had decided to retire to take care of Xiao Yu and the new grandchild.

The distance from L City to R City was neither close nor far. And now that Chen Jing owned a shop, she wouldn’t have much time to take care of Xiao Yu and the baby even if they were in the same city.

Therefore, for Chen Jing, even if Xiao Yu gives birth to the baby, she would only be able to offer her thoughts and unable to actually help.

"What hard work? That’s my precious daughter-in-law and grandchild."

Le Tong appeared quite open-minded. After all, she had never been a fussy person, and she had always treated the three Zhu women well.

Otherwise, Zhu Qianying wouldn’t have been able to leave so cleanly five years ago, making Yan Young Master, who dominated both the legal and underground worlds, unable to find a trace of her after searching for five years.

Of course, these things were in the past, and no one would bring them up again.

Even Yan, who understood very well in his heart, never bore any resentment towards the Ji family.

After all, he was at fault at the time.

The Ji family’s decision to give a helping hand to Zhu Qianying, who was extremely helpless at the time, was not wrong.

The topic of conversation among the women was mostly about Xiao Yu and the soon-to-be-born baby.

The three children, who would soon become elder brothers and sisters, ate and played at the same time, discussing topics only they would understand.

After hearing what Le Tong had just said, Yan, who had been wondering for a while, asked the eldest young master Ji.

"Ji Yu, are Uncle Ji and Aunt Tong really planning to retire?"

In Yan’s view, Ji Rui and Le Tong, who were only in their fifties, were still very young and energetic. Whether it was their judgment or vision, they were in no way inferior to their two sons.

Moreover, the rumor that the Ji family, with Ji Rui and Le Tong as their dual swords, was unrivaled, still circulated in the "rivers and lakes".

So, as a younger generation, Yan felt a bit regretful when he heard such news.

"To say they’re retiring is indeed true. But they aren’t going to be idle at home. My mom and dad just want to live in a different way."

"Oh? How so?" Yan was not only regretful now, but also curious.

"The charity foundation that my grandpa used to run has been managed by a professional manager for the past few years. Now, my mom and dad want to take over."

Yan knew about the foundation Ji Yu mentioned.

Because Ji Yu had fallen seriously ill when he was a child, the old master of the Yan family later established a charity foundation for this purpose.

"Is it that professional managers don’t manage well?"

In Yan’s impression, managing such a charity foundation was tiring and difficult, and often thankless.

"No, do you know? My maternal grandfather was a Doctors Without Borders physician, and he never returned after he left when my mom was a few years old. My mom probably wants to help fulfill some of my grandfather’s wishes."

Yan had spent nearly ten years in Capital City, so although he had never seen Ji Yu’s grandfather, he knew who he was referring to.

"I know, your grandfather is the little uncle that Uncle Yang often mentions, right?"

"Yes!"

"Speaking of this, my parents may be able to help a bit as well, because they have traveled to many places over the years."

In recent years, Mrs. Yan had been traveling around the world doing charitable work. According to her, she had caused a lot of harm when she was younger, so she needed to do some good deeds to atone for her sins.

In Yan’s view, Mrs. Yan had been managing the Tong village for many years. The real killing took place during the era of his maternal grandfather.

However, people in middle to old age, probably like Mrs. Yan or Ji Rui and Le Tong, want to do more of what they like when they look back, as well as make up for past regrets and atone for any wrongs they had committed.

The more Yan thought about it, the more he felt that his mother would definitely get along with Le Tong. After chatting with Ji Yu, he turned to Le Tong, who was sitting across from him.

"Aunt Tong, my parents would probably be very interested in what you and Uncle Ji plan to do. However, they’re somewhat casual and spontaneous. I’ll have my mom contact you later so you sisters can chat."
