Chapter 24 -24: Will Ying’er Run Away from Marriage?
Yan did not question or comment on the Lady Yan’s stream of words. He simply thought, in his own mind, that Zhu Qianying might not really care about how the Zhu Family interpreted her actions anymore.
“Dad, Mom… Zhu Qianying will be coming back a bit later. Do you two have any plans?”
With his parents’ visit being solely to meet Zhu Qianying and her temporary disappearance leaving their plans disrupted…
Lady Yan glanced at Yan Bo, who was busy examining a Jade Ruyi figurine, without raising his head, he said, “I don’t mind. Wherever your mom wants to go, I’ll follow.”
Lady Yan knew that the ball would inevitably be kicked back to her court, after some thought, she didn’t seem to have any particular plans.

“Forget it, since you look so pitiful, we’ll stay home with you for a while.”
On Lady Yan’s face were the bold words “I’m indulging you,” However, Yan had long surpassed the age where he liked having his parents accompany him.
“Mom, I’d be pitiful if you two stayed home! Go wherever you want, don’t worry about me!”
However, even if Yan said so, his parents still decided to stay at home for a while. They would continue their unfinished journey after the Mid-Autumn Festival.
As for Zhu Qianying, after leaving a message for Yan the other day, she seemed to have evaporated from the earth, without leaving a trace.
Yan didn’t feel anything particular about this, Zhu Qianying was just someone whom he had met a few times before. He couldn’t talk about understanding, and even less about feelings, therefore, her existence, or lack thereof, didn’t matter much to him.
It was Qin Xiu, the all-capable Special Assistant, who, under the suggestion of Lady Yan, tried calling Zhu Qianying several times, but her mobile phone remained switched off.
Apart from the occasional harassments from Lady Yan, Qin Xiu had also received a lot of calls asking about the selection results. It was getting on his nerves.
At lunch that day, Qin Xiu finally couldn’t help but pluck up the courage to question Yan.
“Excellency Yan, could we reveal that Miss Zhu has been chosen as the only victor of the selection?”
Qin Xiu’s idea was simple, just a nod from his master, and releasing this news would spare him from many annoying calls every day.
Yan slowly sipped his soup, “Hmm… Uncle Hai really favor his side, since my parents came back, the chef has been much more diligent.”
Qin Xiu didn’t know why his master ignored his question, but seeing him in a good mood, Qin Xiu dared to repeat his suggestion.
This time, Yan finally lifted his eyelids, “Wait until she’s back!”
Waiting this way, another two or three days passed.
There were only two days left before Zhu Qianying’s promised half a month.
During these ten days or so, Zhu Zhizhou visited his house more than once, bearing gifts. Each time, he was turned away by Butler Hai on the excuse that “The old master and mistress have gone traveling, and the young master is away on business.”
However, the truth was that for these days, Yan Bo and his wife had been staying at home for a break. When Zhu Zhizhou made his first visit, the two elders were laying a plastic sheet in the shadow of trees in the backyard, preparing to read books and have afternoon tea under the shade.
Butler Hai came to report, “Master, Mistress, Mr. Zhu has just paid another visit.”
Lady Yan straightforwardly said, “If Ying’er is with him, open the door, if not, ignore him!”
Butler Hai got the command, the next few times when Zhu Zhizhou came with Chen Jing and there was no sign of Zhu Qianying, the butler directly turned them away at the door.
Zhu Zhizhou was so worried on his side that he couldn’t eat or sleep. As soon as he got up every day, the first thing he did was ask the butler, “Is Ying’er back yet?”
The answer was always a shake of the head.
As it had been thirteen or fourteen days since Zhu Qianying’s departure, Zhu Zhizhou finally couldn’t hold back his worry and said to Chen Jing, “Ah Jing, do you think Ying’er might be running away from marriage?”
The Yan Family never mentioned to Zhu Zhizhou that Zhu Qianying had left a message for Yan.
In their eyes, Zhu Zhizhou is the sort of father who even if his daughter ran away and he was startled and frightened, he deserved it.
Chen Jing also looked terrified, “Really? What should we do if the Yan Family blames us?”
Up until now, what both of them were worrying about wasn’t Zhu Qianying’s safety, but the punishment of the Yan Family.
“Why don’t you call Xiao Yu and ask again?”
Just after Zhu Zhizhou persuaded Chen Jing to make the call, the plump figure of Zhu Shaofen appeared from the stairs.
“What are you asking? If Xiao Yu knew, she wouldn’t have offended the Yan Family that day!”
Enjoying the spectacle, Zhu Shaofen, while making sarcastic comments, leisurely moved her voluptuous body from the stairs to the living room.
In front of Zhu Shaofen, Chen Jing had always had no standing. Hearing her thorny words, she dared not even retort; she just bowed her head and sipped her tea silently.
Zhu Zhizhou glared at Zhu Shaofen, “Can’t you be quiet? Look at what time it is and you’re still being sarcastic. If we really offend the Yan Family, our family won’t end well.”
Zhu Zhizhou seemed to be a bit angry, but today Zhu Shaofen appeared as brave as if she had swallowed a leopard’s gallbladder, and wasn’t scared of him at all.
“How could it be possible to offend them? He just wants a wife, isn’t our Xiao Fei just three or four years older than Ying’er? Xiao Fei is much more beautiful than Ying’er. Why not let Xiao Fei replace Ying’er in the marriage? Nobody outside knows Ying’er got through the selection just yet!”
Though Zhu Zhizhou usually sided with Zhu Shaofen, at this moment, he couldn’t help but reprimand her.
“Shaofen, watch your tongue! If your words make it to Yan’s ears, we won’t see a good day ahead.”
Zhu Qianying ran away, but they dared to propose having another daughter as her replacement? Did they treat Yan as an unwanted bachelor?
Zhu Shaofen saw Zhu Zhizhou disliked her words, so she shifted her fat *ss to get closer to Chen Jing.
“Ah Jing, I warned you early on, you need to control Ying’er better, but you let her do whatever she wants. Now, you’ve created such a big mess, let’s see how you clean it up!”
Chen Jing was being bullied to this extent, but she just held her cup silently, lowering her head without saying a word.
Zhu Shaofen found Chen Jing’s non-response uninteresting, so she got up and swiveled towards the patio.
Only then did Chen Jing take out her phone to call Xiao Yu. Zhu Qianyu, who had received countless calls from her mother asking about her sister’s whereabouts these days, immediately started talking as soon as she answered the call, without waiting for Chen Jing to speak, “Mom, are you asking about my sister contacting me again? No, my sister hasn’t contacted me since the day she sent the message!”
Chen Jing’s face turned pale after her younger daughter’s flurry of words. She took a deep breath and hesitantly said, “Xiao Yu, think carefully, did your sister mention anything?”
Chen Jing was truly scared that her eldest daughter had not left for work, but to run away from her marriage.
“No, no, I don’t know anything, stop asking me!” Usually good-tempered Zhu Qianyu lost her temper again and angrily hung up the phone.
