Chapter 552: Chapter 552: A Pot of Vinegar, Finish It!

Zhu Qianying thought that at this time returning to the Yan Family house, the elders of the family should be asleep.

But she saw Yan Yuan in the living room.

"Uncle, you haven’t gone to bed yet?"

Yan Yuan was originally engrossed in a book, but upon hearing her call, he lifted his head, waved at her, clearly, he had been waiting for her specifically.

Zhu Qianying hurriedly went over and sat on the sofa opposite him.

This serious and reserved elder of the Yan Family of could be old enough to be Zhu Qianying’s grandfather.

Of course, Zhu Qianying herself was not well-received by the Zhu Family, and her impression of the character of ’grandfather’ was practically nonexistent, thus, she did not assume herself to be in that role.

"Are you tired from work?"

This serious elder, since meeting her five years ago, they had always had a nodding acquaintance and barely had a deep conversation.

Now, he was asking about her living conditions with such concern that Zhu Qianying was taken aback.

"Uncle, I love my job very much, so I’m not tired!"

Zhu Qianying’s mind was spinning rapidly, she always thought that this serious figure couldn’t possibly ask about her work without reason, combining this with the fact that several elders always wanted to coax Young Master Yan back to Capital City for politics, Zhu Qianying became more vigilant.

Yan Yuan’s expression was still the same, he nodded, "Hmm, then work hard. Xiao Han is busy with work, please help him out when you can."

"Uncle, I will." Zhu Qianying nodded obediently, afraid that she might say something wrong and cause unnecessary trouble for Eldest Young Master Yan.

However, what one doesn’t know, one cannot perform. Even if Zhu Qianying wanted to help with Yan’s work, she wouldn’t be capable of it. However, she didn’t feel the need to say this.

"Hmm, it’s not early anymore, go and take a bath and sleep. Be careful on your way back tomorrow!"

"Alright, good night uncle!"

Even when she returned to her bedroom, Zhu Qianying still didn’t understand why Yan Yuan specifically waited for her to come back to say these words.

Was it just to understand her work situation?

Or was it to persuade her to quit work and help Young Master Yan return to Yanhuang? Or even, attempt to coax her into a position in the Capital City?

Or was it just because he wouldn’t be able to say goodbye to her in person tomorrow, so he specifically waited for her to say it in advance?

Or perhaps, he had no intentions at all, he just happened to see her coming back, and then casually asked her a few questions. In reality, there was no hidden agenda, but she was being oversensitive instead?

After she had taken a bath and nestled on the bed to call Young Master Yan, she explained the matter to him. Young Master Yan’s words resolved the doubt in her mind.

"You didn’t think too much, Uncle is probably hoping for you to give up your job and come back to Yanhuang to help me!"

"So sure? Did he mention it to you?"

Zhu Qianying couldn’t help but wonder, had Yan Yuan previously discussed this matter with Young Master Yan?

"Yeah, didn’t I tell you? In the past, the matter between my parents was not just opposed by my grandparents, at first, Uncle also disapproved of my mother."

"But since my father really loved my mother, so Uncle had no choice. However, he privately sought my mother, asking her to give up everything of the Tong family and come to Yanhuang to assist my father’s career, but she declined. It’s for this reason that my father had to struggle on his own until he was in his thirties to receive my grandparents’ approval. If only Uncle had been willing to intervene back then, naturally, my parents wouldn’t have had to endure so many years."

Zhu Qianying didn’t expect that there was such a history behind.

"In fact, I am most worried that he has ideas about me and wants to abduct me back to the Capital City. Then, you may have to roll back to the Capital City for me."

Zhu Qianying expressed her own thoughts.

"Ha, are you that easy to deceive and abduct? I don’t see that."

Eldest Young Master Yan, obviously, dredged up the heartache of his past few years, thus the tone of his speech naturally carried some helplessness.

"Well, you never know, I used to be smarter, but ever since I’ve been with you, I have become much more foolish."

"Indeed, but isn’t it also a matter of who the person is?"

The tone of Young Master Yan, for some reason, became sour.

"..."

Zhu Qianying stayed silent for a while, because she thought of Cheng Ye.

Sure enough, Eldest Young Master Yan started to lash out next.

"In front of me, indeed you’re too smart, but when you’re with Cheng Ye, you’re just plain foolish! Being in a room with a man is not appropriate, yet you insisted on staying in a room with a drunkard, if that’s not being foolish then what is?"

Concerning the baseless rant from Eldest Young Master Yan, Zhu Qianying couldn’t really chastise him. Because of tonight’s incident, if it were her, she would probably feel the same.

It has nothing to do with trust, as long as there is affection for each other, it’s impossible to be completely indifferent.

"It wasn’t a case of being alone with a man, alright? Wang and Zheng were there too. Besides, Cheng Ye was very well-behaved when he was drunk, I didn’t even touch his finger. It’s not as dirty as you think."

In the past, Zhu Qianying would hardly explain such things, after all, the innocent need not explain.

But now, she was willing to take the time to humor the man on the phone who was full of jealousy.

It wasn’t because she felt guilty, but because she knew very well that the physical distance could indeed cause unease and insecurity.

This mindset exists in both men and women.

So, she was willing to give some verbal comfort and reassurance, to ease his worries. Although her tone was somewhat impatient, she really didn’t want him to be anxious and fretful about it.

And Eldest Young Master Yan, obviously, also knew that his accusations were groundless. After listening to Zhu Qianying’s explanation, he was silent for a while, then he let out a long sigh.

"Really unattractive ..."

Zhu Qianying kept quiet because she knew that Eldest Young Master Yan was only mocking himself and it wasn’t meant for her.

"Tomorrow I’ll pick you up. Do you want to go home for dinner, or would you like to have a romantic candlelit dinner with me?"

After his self-deprecating comment, Eldest Young Master Yan finally returned to his normal state.

"Let’s go home. I’ve promised baby boy to have dinner at home!"

Eldest Young Master Yan sighed again, "Ah, what to do, even if he is my son, I still want to smack him a few times to vent."

Zhu Qianying teased him for a while. Afterward, Young Master Yan took the initiative to report his activities after he went back home earlier in the day.

" I rushed back because the Yi Family also got wind of the situation and know that the police diagnosis report is out. They wanted to use it as a reason to bail Yi Wei out."

"Hmm, what then?"

"What then? How could that be possible! How can they be so arrogant that they think their daughter can commit assault after going mad and then go back home to live a good life? Since she’s insane, she should be kept where mad people are kept, not returning home to be a Miss."

Of course, the reason for Young Master Yan to rush back to L City wasn’t solely because of Yi Wei’s matter, but also because of the other matters connected to it.

However, on the phone, he didn’t want to say too much, afraid that she might overthink it.
