Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife

Chapter 1072 - 1070: Overflowing Motherly Love

In the kitchen, Zhu Qianyu was helping Le Tong peel potatoes."Xiao Yu, you’re interning at Xinying now, right?"

Le Tong was busy with her tasks while chatting with her future daughter-in-law.

"Yes, did Sister Han mention it?"

"Yes, Nounou, who is your Sister Han, mentioned it. Little Treasure also brought it up before."

Zhu Qianyu then remembered that it was Ji Huan who introduced her to the internship at Xinying.

"Oh, right, I almost forgot."

Le Tong gave a knowing smile to her little confusion, "From now on, just come to our house for dinner after work. When you have no classes, let Little Treasure pick you up to come back for dinner. The family enjoys having company."

Le Tong’s words clearly showed she was treating her as one of the family.

"Okay, I understand, thank you Aunt Tong!"

Zhu Qianyu wasn’t the type to be pretentious. She knew Le Tong was genuinely kind to her, so she readily agreed.

She actually has a vigilant heart towards others.

But towards the Ji Family, she was completely open.

Perhaps it’s because she trusts Ji Huan completely, and therefore, she gives the same complete trust to his family.

Furthermore, upon entering the house, even those she thought would be unapproachable like Ji He and Ji Yu, were very kind to her, leaving her vigilance unneeded.

"After lunch, accompany me to tidy up your room. Let me know what you need, and I’ll have someone prepare everything."

Zhu Qianyu was momentarily outpaced by Le Tong’s thoughts, "Huh?"

Le Tong explained naturally, "The student dorms at R University have average environments. If your coursework isn’t too tight, the driver can pick you up after school. Living at home is convenient for care."

If it were someone else, Le Tong might not have arranged everything so assertively.

But for Zhu Qianyu, she genuinely wanted to care for this girl.

Despite being born into a wealthy family, yet unloved by her parents, suffering isolation and cold stares from siblings at home, she remains such a simple and adorable girl.

Zhu Qianyu felt this development was too fast, but human nature tends towards warmth and goodness. When someone offers her care and love, instinctively, she wants to approach, even though she knows it’s not quite normal, she can’t bring herself to push away.

"Aunt Tong, this..."

She wanted to say, isn’t this too fast, considering it’s her first visit here?

Le Tong didn’t give her the chance to hesitate, "Xiao Yu, don’t blame Aunt Tong for being abrupt. You see, your coursework is tight, and you have to balance your internship. Transportation is often inconvenient at school. Little Treasure is working in L City now, wanting to care for you but can’t be there, so he’s definitely worried about you. If you sometimes stay over, he’ll be more at ease, and with Sister Han busy with the concert, sometimes she’s occupied at home, you can help look after Beibei and Guoguo."

With Le Tong’s words, Zhu Qianyu couldn’t find a reason to refuse.

"Well... alright, I’ll see how it goes."

Le Tong wasn’t forcing Zhu Qianyu to stay at home, but she knew the Zhu Family was facing big trouble recently. She was familiar with Zhu Zhizhou, and his sons, none of them are good people.

Of course, Le Tong hadn’t had time to discuss this with Little Treasure, but she felt sure he would support her actions.

Seeing Zhu Qianyu nod, Le Tong didn’t say more on the matter. Some things, this little girl is probably still in the dark about.

"Xiao Yu, why do you want to be a director? With your appearance, you could certainly become a star."

Le Tong had heard the same thing many times from Tian Fang.

"I don’t like it, maybe I just don’t have the talent."

It’s important for people to have self-awareness. Zhu Qianyu felt she wasn’t suited to be an actress, unlike her sister, who was born for it.

"Yes, choosing a career you love is very important."

If Zhu Qianyu wanted to be an actress, Le Tong would support her, just as she did for Nounou before.

Facing the affection-lacking Zhu Qianyu, Le Tong’s maternal instincts unconsciously overflowed.

"Yes, back then, my dad insisted I study hotel management. In the end, my sister studied hotel management, only to be assigned by my big brother to be a lobby attendant at Mingxuan, saying it was to give her good training."

Zhu Qianyu unknowingly completely let her guard down with Le Tong.

"And then?"

Le Tong had heard that Zhu Qianyu’s sister, Zhu Qianying, was a girl with quite a personality and intelligence.

"My sister quit after one day, can you believe they could do that?" Speaking up for her sister, Zhu Qianyu was already treating Le Tong like a confidant.

"Luckily you didn’t study hotel management, or you’d end up like your sister too, right?" Le Tong hadn’t met Zhu Qianying, but at this point, she sympathetically cared for the girl.

"Yes, I’m luckier than my sister. My sister wasn’t supported in her studies and had to follow dad’s orders, unlike me. My sister started earning money to support me and mom from the age of sixteen or seventeen, allowing me to choose the major I like."

This level of detail, Zhu Qianyu hadn’t even shared with Ji Huan, but with Le Tong, she seemed to have unlocked a floodgate, pouring out her words.

Maybe it’s because she never encountered an elder like Le Tong who was so kind and could give her the sense of security to speak freely.

"Your sister is amazing. When convenient, bring her over for dinner sometime. Aunt Tong really wants to meet her."

More than being curious about Zhu Qianying, she sincerely wanted to offer some love to these sisters, perhaps as a small compensation for their lack of maternal affection.

"Okay, next time my sister visits, we’ll arrange to have dinner together."

For Zhu Qianyu, it was like letting both guardians meet for a meal.

As they continued chatting, Zhu Qianyu’s gaze lingered on Le Tong’s face, unable to look away.

"Aunt Tong, you’re not forty yet, are you?"

Le Tong maintained herself excellently; her figure and appearance could easily convince someone she’s in her early thirties, so Zhu Qianyu’s words weren’t mere flattery.

Just by appearance, Zhu Qianyu felt Le Tong looked younger and more spirited than her own mother.

"Silly girl, your Brother Ji is twenty-eight this year, does it make sense to say I’m only forty?" Le Tong chuckled in response.

Zhu Qianyu calculated with her fingers, indeed, it’s not logical.

"My mom is thirty-nine this year, but you look much younger than her."

Le Tong laughed even more happily. Any woman, when praised for being young and beautiful, would smile as happily as she did.

"Your Aunt Tong is forty-seven years old, how could I be younger than your mom?"
