Chapter 537: Chapter 537: Mother-in-law’s Boyfriend

Zhu Qianying and Yan Bo looked at each other, thinking that it was coming.

True enough, as soon as the two of them sat down, the old Madam Yan didn’t beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

"This afternoon, while you two were resting outside, we drew a matchmaker’s fortune stick for you."

"Hmm..." Zhu Qianying nodded, indicating that she understood.

"The draw is an excellent one!"

Zhu Qianying and Yan Bo immediately exchanged puzzled glances.

If it was a good sign, why did their mother seem so worried?

Soon, the old Madam Yan’s words provided them with an answer, "After that, we drew a Peace Sign for you but it was the worst sign."

Zhu Qianying’s heart skipped a beat. Could it be that a traffic accident and nearly being disfigured from a damaged shop were not unlucky enough?

Was there more to come?

The inner thoughts of Yan Bo, at this point, were exactly the same as Zhu Qianying’s.

Because, the hand he had placed on Zhu Qianying’s waist, had given a noticeable tremor when the old Madam Yan mentioned "worst sign."

"What did the fortune-telling master say?"

Yan Bo, who had been calm just now, was now somewhat anxious.

Of course, he was anxious. So much had happened recently and every single event had happened to Zhu Qianying. All of them were bloodshed.

From being harassed by punks in M country to being attacked and having her home and car set on fire. After coming back, she had a car accident and her shop was destroyed. All of them were potentially deadly disasters. Thankfully, Zhu Qianying had been extremely lucky to repeatedly avoid these catastrophes.

However, are they now saying that this is not the end?

Is there more to come?

"He said, there is no solution!"

Yan Bo was so anxious that he unconsciously presented an expletive, "Shit!"

The old Madam Yan glared fiercely at him, but Yan Bo showed no signs of repentance and continued to make a fuss.

"Are you kidding me! Since it was possible to draw the fortune, there must be a solution. If there’s no solution, it’s because his skills aren’t profound enough!" These words, rather than expressing disdain for the fortune teller, were more about comforting himself.

The old Madam Yan slapped him hard on his head before speaking to Zhu Qianying.

"Ying’er, in such matters, it’s better to believe than not. You should be more cautious in your comings and goings for some time. At any rate, it seems like your job doesn’t require you to be on-site all the time, right?"

Zhu Qianying nodded. After receiving an affirmative answer, the old lady continued, "If that’s the case, try to minimize your outings during this period."

It seemed that both the old Madam Yan and Yan Bo had the same thing in mind.

Over the past few months, Zhu Qianying had indeed been unable to live in peace, with one accident after another befalling her.

But as accidents go, they’re unexpected and impossible to guard against.

Zhu Qianying obediently agreed with old Madam Yan’s advice. Whether she believed it or not, there was a need for her to be more cautious.

"Yan Bo, do you think I’ve been possessed by bad luck?"

After taking a shower and going to bed, Zhu Qianying still couldn’t help but sigh when she thought of the old lady’s words.

Yan Bo felt a pang in his chest. He, who was standing by the bed, instinctively slapped her butt.

"Stop talking nonsense. Where is there any bad luck? Don’t listen to my mother’s nonsense. She’s been acting strange lately after hanging out with some people. It seems I need to get Aunt Le Tong to give her something to do. If she’s busy, she won’t have time to make things up and scare herself."

Le Tong and Ji Rui are officially taking over the charity next month. According to the old Madam Yan, she and Yan Bo are also members of the board.

"Mom drew the fortune because she cares about us. Anyway, not just me, you should also be careful. Especially since you have to interact with so many people all day, the risk factor is even greater."

Yan Bo climbed into bed, pressing his entire body onto her and used his finger to point at her nose.

"If you care about me, just say it directly, there’s no need to beat around the bush."

Zhu Qianying grabbed his mischievous hand, bringing it to her mouth, and bit it.

"You’re my husband, of course I care about you."

"Don’t worry, your husband is heroic and invincible! Bullets and swords can’t touch me!" Yan Bo bragged about himself.

Zhu Qianying glared at him. Her teeth clenched tighter, biting his finger hard.

"Ouch! You really dare to bite, it hurts!"

"You deserve it!" Zhu Qianying fumed and cursed him.

Yan Bo moved his hand to the back of her neck, gently stroking the smooth skin under her hairline.

"Ying’er, I will be careful! We’ve just had a few days of happiness, haven’t we? I will take good care of myself, protect you and our baby, and then we will lead a long and happy life together!"

...

The tax trouble investigation on Mingxuan Group finally came to a conclusion. Due to severe tax evasion actions, they were given a deadline to rectify and pay the due taxes along with a penalty.

As soon as Yan Bo received the confirmation message, he called Zhu Qianying.

"How much is the fine and the tax combined?" Zhu Qianying’s focus was always on the main point.

"Nearly one hundred million..."

Upon hearing this figure, Zhu Qianying felt upbeat.

"Seems like Zhu Junwei will be running to his maternal grandmother’s house to cry about their poverty again!"

"Ha, I feel that the Zhu and the Yan families will soon be ruined by Zhu Junwei!" Yan Bo was also very pleased at their misfortune.

Although Mingxuan Group’s audit was essentially due to issues within Mingxuan itself, otherwise, there wouldn’t be any issues no matter how it was checked.

But in this matter, Zhu Qianying believed that the person backing this up must be Yan Bo.

"Yan Bo, be careful."

Given the current situation of Mingxuan, raising one hundred million yuan of liquidity to pay taxes and fines would not be easy.

Maybe, they’ll have to sell off more assets to raise this amount.

Zhu Junwei, who is driven to desperation, who knows what he might do.

"Yeah, by the way, I’m going to pick up our son later and stop by the restaurant first. Our little boy said he wanted to bring something for Bai Xiaolu."

As Zhu Qianying had been staying at the Yan family’s house for the past two days, Yan Bo would pick up their son and come straight back to Yan’s house for dinner every day, the little boy hadn’t been to the restaurant for two or three days and therefore, hadn’t seen Bai Xiaolu for some days now.

"Alright, we’ll wait for you two to come back for dinner."

Since her daughter and grandson had returned to the Yan family, Chen Jing also stayed at Yan’s house for these few days. However, she still went out early and returned late every day to manage the restaurant’s affairs.

When the pair returned to the Yan’s house, it was already past seven. Zhu Qianying, who had had her bandages removed, received the bags from Yan Bo and their son at the entrance hall and kissed both of them on the face, "Go wash your faces quickly, we are waiting for you two to have dinner!"

Normally, the little boy would be the first to run off as he would be starving by this time. But today, he stayed by her side, tugged at her clothes, and then beckoned her over.

Zhu Qianying thought he was going to accuse Yan Bo for some wrongdoing and immediately crouched down, "Baby, what’s wrong, did your dad bully you?"

After asking, she put her ear close to his mouth.

"No, it’s just that I saw grandma’s boyfriend!"
