Chapter 90 - 90 90 If He Loves You Enough
?Chapter 90: Chapter 90: If He Loves You Enough Chapter 90: Chapter 90: If He Loves You Enough After the wedding photoshoot, Yan once again silently vanished from Zhu Qianying’s life just like he did before.
Zhu Qianying did not feel uncomfortable about this. Every day, she would go to the hospital to visit Xing Bailun and spend the rest of her time at home, surfing the internet and doing things she liked.
Chen Jing, who had been completely idle lately, couldn’t help but become curious about her daughter’s relationship with Yan.
For many days, aside from the day they took the wedding photos, Chen Jing basically did not see her daughter come home late at night. She would go out during noon and return home in the afternoon.
Presumably, Yan wouldn’t be able to date her during his working hours, right?
“Ying’er, don’t you go on dates with Yan usually?”
“He’s on a business trip,” Zhu Qianying answered in a way that left her mom with no room for further inquiries.
Chen Jing had never really interfered with her daughters’ lives in the past. Although concerned now, she didn’t know how to express her feelings, fearing that she might say something wrong and unnecessarily trouble her daughter. Seeing that her daughter was reluctant to say more, she dared not ask any further.
Xing Bailun stayed in the hospital for a week. His external injuries were basically healed and he insisted on being discharged.
Zhu Qianying, along with Qi Xiao, picked him up from the hospital. His calf was still in plaster, which greatly hindered his movements. Therefore, the Xing family didn’t trust him to live alone in his apartment and brought him back to their house for recovery.
After Xing Bailun was discharged, Zhu Qianying stayed at home all day long until Friday. That’s when she received a message from Yan asking her to prepare lunch for him at his house the next day.
Reading the message, Zhu Qianying laughed at herself.
Could there really be such a thing as fate?
Her mom had been a cook for Zhu Zhizhou for over two decades, and now, she was starting to become the full-time cook catered to the beck and call of the young master of the Yan family.
The only difference was that her salary as a resident chef was astronomically higher than her mom’s as a free cook.
From unpaid to a salary of one hundred million, could this be considered progress?!
Zhu Qianying, curled up in her chair, finally stopped laughing. After wiping the tears that had welled up from laughing so hard, she texted Yan back, “Sure!”
She originally thought that this Friday would be similar to numerous others and would be uneventful. However, late into the night, she received a call from her younger sister, Zhu Qianyu.
The moment she answered the call, she assumed her sister was merely calling to chat and catch up on each other’s lives.
Unexpectedly, her sister threw a “bomb” at her in the middle of the call.
Her sister, Zhu Qianyu, was in love!
Of course, the “bomb” wasn’t about Zhu Qianyu being in love. It was about the person she was in love with, Ji Huan, the second young master of the Ji family, one of the wealthiest families in the country!
Although Zhu Qianying was not business-savvy, she still knew the saying “Nanji in the South and Beiyang in the North”.
Nanji referred to the Ji Group in R City, whereas Beiyang referred to the Yang Group in the capital city.
Thirty years ago, Ji’s and Yang’s were two massive corporations that didn’t interfere with each other’s businesses and each reigned as a hegemon in their own territory.
Then, the incumbent president of the Ji’s, Ji Rui, fell in love with his secretary. They discussed marriage, only to discover that this secretary named Le Tong was the granddaughter of Yang’s old chairman who had wandered away from home. Moreover, Ji Rui was best friends with Yang Sheng, the grandson of Yang’s old chairman.
After Ji Rui married Le Tong, Yang’s was taken over by Yang Sheng. Since then, Ji’s and Yang’s became in-laws and business partners, together venturing into many new markets, both domestic and foreign, and increasing their total value of assets nearly tenfold over the past two decades.
Before Ji Rui and Le Tong’s marriage, they already had a son and had adopted a girl. Soon after marriage, they had another son. The eldest son is named Ji Yu, the second son Ji Huan, and their adopted daughter, Ji Sihan, who is now married to Ji Yu and has a pair of twins.
Besides these, what amuses the high society is that both sons of the Ji family have been prodigies from a young age. They graduated from prestigious universities in their teens and returned to take over the family business. As for their characters, it’s said that they are just like their father, Ji Rui, known for being an excellent man.
Zhu Qianying finally managed to catch her breath, “And what about that married man you talked about before? Has he finally let go of you?” Zhu Qianying had always been worried about this.
“Sister, actually, that man is Ji Huan.” Zhu Qianyu said seemingly embarrassed on the other end of the phone.
“Pfft, silly girl, Ji Huan isn’t married, he doesn’t even have a girlfriend.” It’s not that Zhu Qianying was gossiping, but the Ji brothers’ fame among the group of rich children is just too high.
“Yeah, it was all a misunderstanding. The first time I saw Ji Huan, he was with his brother’s twins, so I always assumed they were his children…”
Zhu Qianying sighed in her heart, such a comical mistake was indeed something her innocent sister could do.
“So, he has been pursuing you for more than half a year?”
It seems that her innocent sister has finally met someone who recognizes her worth.
“Yes, I always thought he was a married man, so of course I kept rejecting him.”
Zhu Qianying lit a long line of candles in her heart for Ji Huan, “Xiao Yu, I suddenly feel sorry for Ji Huan.”
More than an hour later, Zhu Qianyu, who had finished her midnight snack with Ji Huan, bought some snacks and returned. Zhu Qianying was eating while chatting with her sister about Ji Huan and his background.
After their detailed chat, she realized her foolish sister had no awareness that she had stumbled upon a treasure.
All she knew was that Ji Huan was the second son of the Ji family; as for the rest about the Ji family and the Ji Corporation, she knew nothing.
Fortunately for such a silly little sister, she met a good man like Ji Huan. If she had met someone like their old man, she might have ended up with the same fate as their mother.
“Sister, Ji Huan asked if you’re available tomorrow. He wants to have dinner with you.” Zhu Qianyu sat on the armrest of her chair, holding her hand and massaging it.
“Let’s do it tomorrow night then. I’ve booked Mr. Yan for the morning.”
The sisters chatted for a while longer before Zhu Qianying remembered something very important.
“Xiao Yu, keep your relationship with Ji Huan a secret for now. As long as you, I, and his family know about it, it’s fine. Most importantly, don’t let our dad know, otherwise…”
Zhu Qianying thought of all the things her dad had done to Mr. Yan, and didn’t know whether to feel cold or to laugh. Fortunately, Mr. Yan was not easily manipulated, and it was impossible for her dad to gain any benefits from him.
But as for Ji family, she didn’t understand them well and she was afraid that her dad’s greed and selfishness would ruin Xiao Yu’s rare good fortune.
“Sister, I understand. Ji Huan… he also has a very poor impression of our father…”
Zhu Qianyu seemed to be a bit down when the conversation turned to this topic. It seemed like she felt somewhat inferior.
Zhu Qianying noticed that her sister’s mood was not right, she stretched out her hand, gently pulled her over, and patted her on the back.
“Silly girl, if he loves you enough, he will naturally weigh these things and find a solution.”
[In Zhu Zi’s previous novel, “Cutie Wanted: Priceless Runaway Wife”, the story of Ji Rui and Le Tong is detailed in the first half while the ones about Ji Yu and Ji Huan are written in the second half. The story of Zhu Qianyu and Ji Huan is also covered in the latter part.]
