Chapter 31 -31 My Affairs Have Nothing to Do with the Zhu Family
Zhu Qianying eventually came downstairs for dinner, because her mother, Chen Jing, personally called her.
She could ignore others, or treat them coldly, but she had never been able to stand firm against her lousy and irresponsible mother.
Even since she became sensible, she always looked at her mother with disappointed eyes.
But, despite all her faults, she was still the mother who gave birth to her and her sister.
She could pity her misfortune and rage at her inability to fight, but she could not abandon her.
“Ying’er, where have you been playing all this while? You sure had a lot of fun, you almost gave your father a heart attack!”
Zhu Qianying had just sat down, and before she could take a sip of her warm milk, Zhu Shaofen, who was sitting next to Zhu Zhizhou, began to take subtle jabs at her.
“Auntie, I was not playing, but working. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to afford the gift for the Yan Family’s visit!”
Every time Zhu Qianying thought about the collector’s edition brocade box and the Jade Ruyi that cost her eighty-eight thousand Yuan, it pained her.
However, judging from the information revealed by Yan today, the money spent was worth its value.
“Ying’er, it isn’t right to say that. If you wanted to visit Yan’s house, and needed to buy anything, you should have just asked your auntie for it. You must understand, your auntie knows her priorities.”
Zhu Zhizhou’s words were artfully crafted.
It was clear that in her father’s and others’ eyes, Zhu Qianying, who had no connection with Yan, was unimportant. But once she had a connection with Yan, she became considerably important.
Zhu Qianying gulped down her warm milk in one go, put the glass on the table with a ‘thud’, raised her hand, and wiped the milk from her mouth with the back of her hand.

“Dad, what I take to the Yan Family’s visit is my own business, how could I ask auntie for it? As a young girl, I might not understand big issues, but I can handle these trivial matters.”
Zhu Qianying spoke in a very calm tone, even smiling as she said this!
But everyone in the room understood. She was alluding to Zhu Shaofen’s lack of concern for her and her sister, Zhu Qianyu, over the years!
Zhu Shaofen’s face naturally couldn’t look good, but she couldn’t lose her temper because Zhu Qianying hadn’t explicitly said anything.
Zhu Shaofen forcefully suppressed her anger, putting on a smile, “Ying’er, listen to how you’re talking. Your situation with Yan is a big deal for our Zhu family, how can you say it’s your own affair? Tell us what you need to buy, and I’ll go with you later.”
Zhu Qianying found it amusing, but kept a straight face. This family, apart from her pitiful mother Chen Jing, were all opportunists, highly skilled at reading faces and situations.
“Yes, tell us what you need. Your parents will go with you later.” Zhu Zhizhou hastily joined in.
His heart had been hanging in mid-air for half a month. Now hearing Zhu Qianying mention a visit to the Yan Family, did that mean her relationship with Yan had not changed despite her being away for half a month?
Despite Zhu Zhizhou lowering his stance, Zhu Qianying didn’t show any intention of backing down.
“Dad, I am going to apologize. It has nothing to do with you.” Zhu Qianying said very seriously.
Her father had never taken her seriously. In the past, she had to face the consequences of her mistakes by herself.
So, it would be the same this time.
Of course, whatever happened to her and the Yan Family later, had nothing to do with the Zhu Family.
A flash of embarrassment passed through Zhu Zhizhou’s eyes, but he still conceded, not to Zhu Qianying, but to Yan and the Yan Family whom she was representing.
“Ying’er, if there is anything your father did wrong before, you can slowly settle it with me later. What matters now is figuring out how to apologize to Yan and his parents.”
Zhu Zhizhou clearly remembered how humiliating it had been to be repeatedly turned away when he visited the Yan Family in the many days that his daughter had been missing.
Zhu Qianying stared at Zhu Zhizhou, clearly puzzled, “Why should I apologize to his parents?”
No one had mentioned to Zhu Qianying about Yan and his parents visiting the Zhu Family. Therefore, she had absolutely no idea that the Yan family had fallen out with her father on the day she left.
Zhu Zhizhou gestured to Chen Jing, hinting that she should explain it to their daughter.
Chen Jing was always very obedient to Zhu Zhizhou. Receiving the hint, she put down her chopsticks and bowl, held her daughter’s hand, and roughly mentioned how the Yan family had stormed out when they came to visit.
Zhu Qianying listened to her mother’s account with her lips tightly pressed. She was a little anxious, after all, her relationship with Yan still existed only in words. If she really offended him and the two old men, even if they publicly called off the marriage, there would be nothing she could do about it.
However, thinking about Yan’s attitude and words today, it seemed like he didn’t care about what happened that day. Otherwise, being as stingy as he is, how could he not mention it at all?
Zhu Qianying was somewhat certain in her heart, but she didn’t show this assurance. After hearing from her parents that they had been repeatedly rejected by the Yan family, her face turned even more solemn.
“Dad, you guys don’t need to worry about this, I’ll handle it.”
Zhu Qianying certainly wouldn’t kindly tell Zhu Zhizhou that Yan didn’t care about that incident.
Nor would she tell Zhu Zhizhou that she had informed Yan before she left and had already sent gifts to the elders that day.
As long as the two old men in the Yan family had some sense, they wouldn’t blame her for anything.
Zhu Zhizhou saw Zhu Qianying’s solemn face and thought about his previous ridicule. He felt that he should not intervene for now.
“Alright then, first go and visit Mr. Yan and Mrs. Yan. Once they calm down, we can arrange a time to sit down and talk about your marriage with Yan.”
Zhu Qianying rolled her eyes internally, “We’ll see …”
Zhu Qianying had already predicted that her father had asked her to dinner, not for the food, but for her marriage with Yan.
And rightly so, she was twenty years old now. When had her father ever cared about whether she ate in these twenty years?
Having been full already, she now completely lost her appetite. After drinking the milk and randomly eating a few vegetables, she claimed to be full and left the table.
She really didn’t want to spend a moment longer with these people. It wasn’t really a meal, it was more suitable to call it a gossip session.
As expected, she had just stepped out of the dining room when she heard her third aunt, Fang Caiping, talking to her mother, “Ah Jing, you need to teach Ying’er some basic etiquette in your free time. The Yan family, being so influential, value these things.”
See, she hadn’t even left, and the snide comments had already started.
So, she had no manners?
Even if she, Zhu Qianying, truly had no manners, it wasn’t the business of a woman who climbed to her position by getting into her employer’s bed to lecture her.
