Chapter 1064 - 1062: Ji Huan Spoils You?
"Is that so... How come I didn’t know about this?"Zhu Qianyu blinked her bewildered big eyes; it was partly her fault for not mentioning earlier to her sister that the "married man" was Ji Huan. Otherwise, she and Ji Huan wouldn’t have had to endure so much torment.
Indeed, everything is fate!
"You! You’re just a little girl, how would you know about these things?"
Zhu Qianying was only two years older than her little sister, but in terms of behavior and personality, she was much more mature and steady than Zhu Qianyu.
"Oh... Ji Huan also said I’m just a little girl!"
Zhu Qianyu didn’t mind this nickname; in her view, it was a sign of being cherished and loved by others.
After all, only those who are cherished and loved can be as willful as a little girl and, likewise, as clueless as one.
Of course, she wasn’t willful and wasn’t entirely clueless, like Little Bai.
"Ah, it seems like Ji Huan really pampers you?"
Zhu Qianying sat up straight and stared at the sister she had protected and pampered for so many years. It seemed with Ji Huan around, the right to spoil and protect her would now be transferred.
"Mm!" Zhu Qianyu nodded in acknowledgment.
Although it was only tonight that she and Ji Huan expressed their feelings and officially started dating,
in the past, every little interaction with him revealed his deep affection and indulgence towards her.
"Xiao Yu, for now, you’re the only one who knows about your relationship with Ji Huan—just you, me, and his family. Most importantly, don’t let Dad find out, or else..."
Zhu Qianying recalled what her father did to Young Master Yan and wasn’t sure whether to feel cold-hearted or sarcastic. Fortunately, Young Master Yan was not kind-hearted; trying to get any advantage over him for their father was as difficult as reaching the heavens.
But she didn’t know the people in the Ji Family and feared that Xiao Yu’s rare good match would be ruined by their father’s greed and selfishness.
"Sister, I know. Ji Huan... doesn’t have a good impression of our father either..."
When mentioning this, Zhu Qianyu couldn’t help but feel a bit downhearted, mixed with some inferiority.
The people from the Ji Family she had met included Ji Huan, Si Han, and those adorable little treasures.
But from their words and actions, it was clear that the Ji Family was undoubtedly a happy and harmonious big family, with loving and harmonious relationships between everyone. It was the complete opposite of the Zhu Family.
Zhu Qianying seemed to sense her sudden drop in mood and reached out to gently hug her, patting her back.
"Foolish girl, if he loves you enough, he will naturally weigh things up and find a way to resolve it."
Zhu Qianyu was silent for a while and said, "Sister, I don’t want Dad to get any benefit from Ji Huan at all! Thinking this way, am I being bad?"
Zhu Qianying smiled and shook her head, "Foolish girl, you think this way, and so do I. Our father didn’t get any benefit from Young Master Yan, and secretly, I was overjoyed. To us, he only gave us life, and a dowry should be enough to repay him; we don’t owe him anything else!"
Zhu Qianyu then relaxed her brows and said, "Mm, then I should mention it to Ji Huan first."
Zhu Qianying was truly amazed at her sister’s thoughts, "Xiao Yu, do you think the Ji Family can be mentioned in the same breath with the Yang Family purely because of luck?"
Zhu Qianyu blinked, not understanding why her sister suddenly brought this up.
"Aside from Si Han, the people in the Ji Family, including your future mother-in-law, are not people that ordinary folks can mess with in the business world."
Zhu Qianyu’s expression changed slightly; obviously, she misunderstood what Zhu Qianying meant.
"Don’t worry, when I said they’re not to be trifled with, I didn’t mean like Young Master Yan. Their family is famous for their high IQ and EQ; ordinary people can’t compete with them."
"Oh... I see!" Zhu Qianyu breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Alright, that’s the end of your education for now. Go take a shower and get some sleep. Tomorrow evening’s time and place, you let Ji Huan decide. I have to go to the Yan Family early in the morning; you can let me know then."
Having pulled two all-nighters, Zhu Qianying was already exhausted and patted her sister on the backside to urge her to sleep.
Otherwise, judging by Xiao Yu’s current hyper state, she could chatter the entire night if her sister was willing to accompany her.
Of course, Zhu Qianyu noticed her sister’s weariness and lightly pressed her cheek to hers, "Sister, good night! You should quickly shower and get some sleep too."
Usually, Zhu Qianyu would insist on sleeping with her sister, but when Zhu Qianying was busy with work, Zhu Qianyu would willingly retreat to her own room to sleep.
As she reached the door, Zhu Qianyu suddenly remembered a question, "Sister, should we invite Young Master Yan tomorrow?"
"No invitation! That wouldn’t be proper!"
Zhu Qianyu felt like there was something off about her sister’s words but decided against saying anything.
Returning to her bedroom, her phone buzzed with a notification—probably Ji Huan arriving at his apartment.
Opening it, sure enough, there was a message from Ji Huan, "I’m home, good night!"
Zhu Qianyu immediately dialed back, and the call was almost instantly picked up, "Xiao Yu, not asleep yet?"
"Mm, I talked with my sister for a bit. She said she’s free tomorrow night, so you can decide the time and place."
"Alright, do you have any plans for tomorrow, or are you going to accompany your sister?"
Ji Huan probably meant to spend tomorrow with her?
"No need, my sister is going to the Yan Family tomorrow. But in the morning, I want to stay home and spend time with my mom."
"Then I will make time in the afternoon. Want to take me around?"
The two agreed on their plans for tomorrow, wished each other good night, and reluctantly hung up the phone.
That night, Zhu Qianyu slept extraordinarily well, waking up the next day to find it was already past ten.
When she entered the kitchen after washing up, her mother, Chen Jing, was startled.
"Xiao Yu, when did you come back?"
Which makes sense; Zhu Qianying and Zhu Qianyu were practically invisible in this house. She came in the middle of the night, and although the guard knew, he didn’t report it to her mom.
"Didn’t Sister tell you?" Zhu Qianyu reached for a piece of dim sum from her mom’s dish and put a deep-fried dumpling in her mouth.
"Ying’er? I haven’t seen her."
The gatekeeper didn’t bother to report it, and as a mother, she wasn’t concerned about her daughters’ whereabouts.
Zhu Qianyu sighed inwardly and decided to scrap her original plan to spend the morning with her mom.
"Mom, I’m heading out."
Zhu Qianyu said, leaving the kitchen.
"Oh..." Chen Jing didn’t ask when her youngest daughter came back, why she came back, or where she was going.
No wonder her sister was so disillusioned with this family; truly, the people here were simply beyond love and care!
Except, of course, for her sister.
Zhu Qianyu returned to her bedroom, changed into her going-out clothes, and with her backpack on, hesitated in front of the kitchen door before ultimately deciding not to enter and instead made her way out the door after changing her shoes.
