Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife

Chapter 1037 - 1035: Completely Untrustworthy

"Little Treasure, from Young Master Yan’s side, we only found out that the final round of selection features ten beauties, including Zhu Qianying. However, nobody knows if there’s a winner or who the winner might be, and most people think that it’s impossible for anyone to win in the final round."After getting the information from Ji Dabao, Little Treasure hesitated for a moment and ultimately decided to keep the news to himself.

Since most people believe it’s impossible for anyone to win the final selection, there’s no need to inform Zhu Qianyu about the results of the fourth round, saving her from worrying.

From Zhu Qianyu’s side, she calls home every day, and her timid mother just keeps comforting her, "Xiao Yu, don’t worry, your sister will be fine."

"Nothing to worry about, you say, but all you do is nag that everything’s fine. Don’t you know to go out and find things out?"

Even the usually good-tempered Xiao Yu started blaming her mother a bit.

"But... I don’t know anyone..." Chen Jing timidly replied on the other end of the phone.

She was timid and not fond of conflict since she was young, yet she had an extraordinary talent in cooking. Under the guidance of her chef father, she obtained her certification at eighteen and passed the Mingxuan Hotel test, entering Mingxuan to work. Unexpectedly, within a year, she caught the eye of her boss Zhu Zhizhou and was brought to the Zhu family as a cook. At nineteen, she gave birth to Zhu Qianying.

And when Zhu Zhizhou went out for social events, he mostly took Third Mistress Fang Caiping and never her, so when Chen Jing said she didn’t know anyone, she was telling the truth.

Unable to get any information from her mother, Zhu Qianyu had no choice but to call Xing Bailun, who remained evasive and unwilling to talk, just like before.

Zhu Qianyu had considered asking Ji Huan, but thinking about the trouble she’d already caused him, she decided to suppress her anxiety and continue her internship quietly while waiting for news of her sister.

A few days later, Zhu Qianyu suddenly received a message, a notification for a ten thousand yuan transfer from her online bank account.

This bank card was the one her sister set up for her when she went to R University, and her sister regularly transferred money to cover her tuition and daily expenses.

But didn’t her sister have Xing Bailun deliver fifty thousand to her a few days ago? Why is another ten thousand being transferred now?

Zhu Qianyu tried calling her sister, and the phone, which had been turned off for several days, finally turned on, but it only played the message "The user you are dialing is on another call."

Zhu Qianyu didn’t hang up because she knew her sister would answer her call as soon as possible no matter how busy she was.

Sure enough, after a while, the call went through.

Before Zhu Qianyu could say anything, her sister asked, "Xiao Yu, did you receive the money?"

Sure enough, the money was transferred by her sister. But where did she get such a large amount of money from? Could it be from that Young Master Yan?

"Sister, Brother Aaron gave me a card with fifty thousand that day. Why did you transfer another ten thousand? Where did you get this money?"

Zhu Qianyu was very anxious. Ever since she heard about Young Master Yan’s exploits from Ji Huan, she had been praying that her sister would fail this time.

She didn’t want her sister to have any ties with someone as mysterious and unpredictable as Young Master Yan.

"Xiao Yu, don’t worry. This money wasn’t stolen or robbed; it was obtained fair and square. You can rest assured and use it." Her sister’s voice on the other end was careful to reassure her.

"The last time you went abroad, it was for work, right? Was the reward that high?" Even with her sister’s reassurances, Zhu Qianyu remained skeptical.

"Silly, it’s the money Aunt gave me for buying a car."

Zhu Qianyu felt like she’d heard the joke of the century. That ever-calculating aunt, always scheming against her mother and sisters, would give money to her sister to buy a car? Unless the sun rose from the west.

"Sister, are you sure you’re not joking with me? Would someone like Aunt really give you money to buy a car?" Zhu Qianyu didn’t believe her at all.

"Silly, of course, she wouldn’t have given me money if it were before. But now it’s different. I became the only winner in Young Master Yan’s selection. She certainly didn’t want to give it to me, but under Dad’s urging, she reluctantly handed over a million with a sour face."

Over the phone, Zhu Qianying couldn’t contain her laughter discussing this, and even across the distance, Zhu Qianyu could clearly feel it, although she didn’t share the sentiment.

"Sister, do you really trust that Young Master Yan?" She thought her sister was walking out of one lion’s den and into a wolf’s lair.

Zhu Qianying rarely fell silent, but when Zhu Qianyu thought she had swayed her sister, she heard her say, "Xiao Yu, that’s not important!"

Thinking of what Ji Huan said, Zhu Qianyu grew even more worried.

"Sister, you’re playing with fire! I asked around, and that Young Master Yan is not a simple person!" Her tone was intense, hoping to deter her sister from playing with fire.

However, her sister had always been stubborn, and Zhu Qianyu’s limited influence couldn’t sway her decision.

"Xiao Yu, your sister knows what she’s doing. You don’t have to worry! I promise I won’t do anything to disgrace myself, okay?"

With her sister’s promise, Zhu Qianyu felt a bit more at ease, then remembered the money.

"Sister, hasn’t Aunt always been eloquent? How come she couldn’t persuade Dad this time?"

She and her sister had tried to compete with Aunt at the dining table in front of their father before, but nearly every time, their father would be convinced by Aunt and leave the decision-making to her. As a result, the sisters rarely succeeded in their endeavors.

"Because Dad now wants to make a good impression in front of Young Master Yan!"

Over the phone, Zhu Qianying animatedly recounted the battle she had just waged against Aunt, Second Aunt, and Third Aunt at the dining room.

Simply from listening, Zhu Qianyu felt thoroughly satisfied and couldn’t help but laugh heartily into the phone.

After laughing, Zhu Qianyu said, "Thank you, Sister!"

"Silly, you’re acting silly more and more often. Have you been struck dumb from filming too many cheesy online dramas?"

Zhu Qianyu laughed again, and afterward, the sisters’ conversation turned to gossip and happy topics until her phone ran low on battery, and Zhu Qianyu ended the call.

After hanging up, Zhu Qianyu gradually calmed down and started worrying about her sister again.

Although her sister repeatedly assured her during the call that she wouldn’t act recklessly, knowing her sister, the promise was more about easing her mind than a real assurance.

Everything her sister had done over the years essentially put Zhu Qianyu and their mother first. So her sister’s promise was not credible at all!
