Chapter 727: Chapter 727: Picked Up a Great Bargain

By the time Young Master Yan came home, it was almost 4 o’clock, he sneakily entered the door, and the little nightlight was on. The living room was eerily silent, it was clear that everyone had already fallen asleep.

Hence, Young Master Yan cautiously sneaked into his bedroom, silently shut the door, and turned around only to see Zhu Qianying sitting in lotus bowl position on the bed, with her laptop on her knees, engrossed in whatever she was looking at.

In response, Young Master Yan frowned and turned on the room light.

The sudden bright light startled Zhu Qianying. It took her a moment to adjust to its intensity. She squints and sees him and gives him a comforting smile, "You’re back?"

Young Master Yan walked over and leaned over the bed to kiss her lips.

"Why aren’t you sleeping yet? Didn’t I ask you to go to bed early?"

Zhu Qianying raised her hand and hugged his neck pitifully, saying, "I can’t sleep..."

Young Master Yan pinched her face, "What’s the matter? Can’t sleep when your husband is not around?"

Zhu Qianying looked at him, lips held, and nodded her head vigorously.

However, Young Master Yan naturally knew why Zhu Qianying was unable to sleep and Zhu Qianying herself was even more aware of it.

"Go to sleep, we’ve located that person. We’ll go verify the details tomorrow."

Zhu Qianying then told him about how they had gotten their hands on the invoice data from the Welfare Institute’s dean through Yan Bo. After hearing this, Young Master Yan hugged her face and gave her another kiss.

"I’ll go take a shower. We’ll rest and talk about the other things."

...

The next day, the Yan family woke up early, except for their little boy.

The four of them gathered together and carefully discussed the information they had received the night before. After their little boy woke up and the family of five had their breakfast, Young Master Yan and Yan Bo left the house. They split up to gather more solid evidence from different places.

Of course, these tasks could have been delegated to other people.

However, this matter concerned the safety of the youngest generation of the Yan family. The father and son valued and cared for it deeply and therefore, did not feel assured delegating these tasks.

Of course, Ke Kai and Qin Xiu were exceptions.

Young Master Yan, accompanied by Ke Kai, paid a visit to the police station.

Yan Bo, along with Qin Xiu, entered the National Bank.

As for Zhu Qianying and madam Yan, they were driven to the Quiet Restaurant by their driver shortly after breakfast.

Regarding whether to let Chen Jing meet their little boy before the competition, Young Master Yan’s suggestion was to let Zhu Qianying decide.

He made this suggestion because he was certain that despite her hesitation, Zhu Qianying was inclined towards one decision.

Thus, after breakfast, Zhu Qianying called her mother, "Mom, we returned last night. I’m bringing the little boy to see you later, but when you see his face, don’t ask or say anything inappropriate!"

Zhu Qianying was prepping her mother for what was coming ahead of time.

"What happened to my grandson’s face?" Chen Jing, from the other side of the call, asked worriedly.

"He got scratched while playing on the beach and still has some scars left. So, don’t ask him about the trip, he’s very sensitive about it."

Zhu Qianying knew better than anyone that her mother was not like madam Yan, who was used to see through schemes. Any small problem could cause her mother to panic.

However, the upcoming food exhibition was very important to her mother. Therefore, she couldn’t let her grandson’s problems affect her mother’s mood and emotions.

Given the circumstances, she had no choice but to conspire with madam Yan and keep her mother in the dark.

Sure enough, despite preemptive measures, Chen Jing was still deeply moved when she saw how her grandson had been injured.

Luckily, her grandson seemed just fine, he was cheerfully running and jumped into her arms for a hug.

Chen Jing and her grandson were having a private conversation. After all, both grandmother and grandson hadn’t seen each other for almost a week, and their reunion was a moment not to be interrupted.

While Chen Jing and madam Yan were keeping her grandson busy by buying some snacks from the opposite shop, Luo Yifan pulled Zhu Qianying to the cashier and asked in a low voice.

"Ying’er, did he really get hurt playing in M country?"

Clearly, Luo Yifan was not as easy to fool as Chen Jing.

Zhu Qianying couldn’t ascertain if he had heard something. However, considering that this man was soon to become her stepfather, he was essentially family. So, it was not right to keep him in the dark about such matters.

Besides, if her mother ever got wind of the matter, he could come up with a way to cover it up.

With these thoughts, Zhu Qianying explained briefly about what had happened to her son.

Upon hearing the story, Luo Yifan was rattled!

"There are such terrifying people in this world? How could they possibly harm a five-year-old child?"

"Uncle Luo, please keep this to yourself for now. I’m afraid my mother will be too affected if she found out and it might affect her performance in the competition. Also, we’re keeping it from Xiao Yu because we’re afraid it will affect her pregnancy."

Luo Yifan nodded, "Rest assured, I’ll handle this discreetly. If you need help with anything, just let me know. That boy is my beloved grandson too!"

It is at that moment Zhu Qianying remembered that she hadn’t congratulated Luo Yifan yet.

"Uncle Luo, congratulations!"

Luo Yifan, of course, knew what her congratulatory remarks were for.

He raised his hand to pat her head, "Thank you! In future, we’ll be family, so feel free to share your burdens with me!"

Zhu Qianying nodded. Even though they were not related by blood, she could see his sincerity and knew his words came from the heart.

This display of heartfelt affection from him, who was essentially a stranger, was very moving and it highlighted the cruelty and heartlessness of Zhu Zhizhou and his son.

"Grandpa Luo, this is for you!"

Their little boy, who had returned from the snack shop across the road, handed a large lollipop to Luo Yifan.

Luo Yifan was surprised but gladly accepted it.

"Thanks, my boy!"

Chen Jing had also received a lollipop of similar size, and she smiled at Luo Yifan, saying, "You really lucked out. Our little boy paid for the lollipops from his own pocket. We got one, and you got one!"

Apparently, the little boy had equated Luo Yifan’s position to that of his grandfathers and grandmothers.

"Of course, I didn’t just luck out on a lollipop, but also gained two daughters and a grandson, didn’t I?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he surprised madam Yan.

"Ah! You two... oh my, Ying’er, why didn’t you tell me? Congratulations! Congratulations!"

Madam Yan sent a barrage of blessings while chastising Zhu Qianying and giving Chen Jing a big hug.

"Sister Huai, this is not Ying’er’s fault. We planned to get the marriage certificate after the food exhibition, so, this matter is still a long way off!"

Just as Luo Yifan was about to speak, their little boy looked up to Chen Jing and said, "Grandma, Grandpa Luo is a man. When a man makes a promise, it must be kept. So, once Grandpa Luo has proposed, he can’t take it back!"

The little boy’s words successfully amused the adults present.
