Chapter 25 -25 When you cry
That day, Yan was up at his usual time of six in the morning, ran a few laps in the garden, came back and showered, and then descended the stairs in a refreshing mood to have breakfast.
But in the dining room, he saw Yan’s mother, who hadn’t been up before seven for a long time. “Mom, is the watch in your room broken?”
Speaking, Yan instinctively glanced out at the sky. The east was bright. Morning had just broken through the horizon, so his watch was not wrong.
“Son, it’s been half a month since Ying’er left, hasn’t it?” Ignoring his question, Yan’s mother asked while adding pickles and onion flowers to her white porridge.
“Mom, I really suspect that Zhu Qianying was your chosen candidate and secretly slipped in to participate in the selection competition.”
Although he had never met Zhu Qianying, these half a month, every day he had to hear from her mother mentions of “Ying’er”, dozens of times sometimes. Now, every time he heard “Ying’er”, his eyes twitched.
“Son, are you complimenting me or insulting your own intelligence?”
Yan’s mother glanced at him casually, scooped up a large spoonful of porridge, and put it in her mouth.
Yan knew very well that although his mom wanted a grandchild, she would never stoop so low as to push someone in front of him.
Furthermore, even if his mother did stoop so low, he would never indulge her.
So, those words just now were just a joke.
“Son, although I have never seen Ying’er, my intuition tells me that she is a rare good girl.”
Yan’s mother had been in charge of the Tong Family for decades and had seen all kinds of people and things.
She had long mastered the skill of judging people from small details.
“Mom, don’t blame me for not reminding you. You’d better ask Uncle Hai to prepare nitroglycerin for you and dad.”
Yan was reluctant to shatter his mother’s longing, but what was there to say?
Greater expectation, greater disappointment?
The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.
Yan didn’t even know how many faces Zhu Qianying had.
He only knew that she once unabashedly declared that she wanted his money and he wanted her.
He was afraid that a woman who came for money would eventually disappoint his mother.
“Son, if you see Ying’er as so terrible, why did you promise to marry her?” Yan’s mother asked curiously.
Yan shrugged, “It’s fun, isn’t it?”
It was these unknown possibilities that added a bit of fun to his recently boring life.
Why wouldn’t he marry such a woman?
“Son, I told you a long time ago that those who play with fire must be burnt! Remember?” Yan’s mother kindly reminded her son.
Honestly, although she hadn’t seen Zhu Qianying in person yet, she really liked this girl.
But looking at her son’s attitude, it seemed defiant.
Really vexing!
“Mom, don’t worry, your son has a thick skin!”
During the conversation, Yan had finished eating, wiped his mouth, and then got up and left.
While he was tying his tie in the outer room, his mother’s loud voice came through the glass.
“Deserve it! You’ll cry someday.”
Yan snorted, skillfully slid the tie knot to his collar, looked at his handsome self in the mirror, smiled slightly, took his laptop bag from Uncle Hai, and shouted to the dining room, “Mom, I’m off to work.”
“Go on, go on. If Ying’er comes back today, remember to bring her back. A few days ago, I asked Uncle Hai to prepare a lot of food ingredients…”
The old woman was still yelling something loudly. Yan didn’t hear it all because he was out the door as soon as his shoes were on.
After the door closed, Yan couldn’t help but let out a long sigh.
Compared to Zhu Qianying, his mother was the hard one to handle!
He wasn’t going back to Yanhuang Group this morning because there was something at the Tong family that needed his attention.
Of course, it wasn’t a big deal, it just required him to be there in person.
The one taking him to deal with the matter today wasn’t the driver, but his omnipotent special assistant, Qin Xiu.
“Sir, today is the last day, right?”
Yan had been listening to his mother’s nagging about Zhu Qianying all morning at home, but now back on his own territory, facing his subordinates, he still had to listen to the nagging about Zhu Qianying.
“Shut up! Annoying!”
Yan cut off Qin Xiu with a straightforward rebuff. It was quite effective in shutting Qin Xiu’s mouth.
The business of the Tong Family in L City was mainly bars and KTVs.
The person Yan was meeting today was the president of a national chain of KTV organizations, who had entered L City a year ago with a high profile.
A year ago, this boss opened the largest KTV in L City. When it was inaugurated, he boasted in front of the press that in three years, all KTVs in L City would all belong to him.
Yan scoffed at this provocation. However, he didn’t say a word in response. He was a man of action, not words.
As a result, today, a year later, the boss surnamed Zhou meekly sought him out for a meeting, saying he wanted to discuss a harmonious plan.
Yan wasn’t originally going to meet him, but on second thought, it wouldn’t hurt. Besides, lately, his mother had been a bit annoying, and he was feeling a bit upset with nowhere to vent.
So, having another puppet to manipulate could help to relax his tense nerves, couldn’t it?
“Sir, do you want me to go in with you later?”
Qin Xiu, who had kept silent after being scolded earlier, opened his mouth to ask Yan, who was busy in the back seat, as they approached the tea house.
“No need, you wait for me in the car. By the way, gather the information for the bidding meeting next week.”
Qin Xiu received the command, obediently parked the car, and watched the bodyguards follow Yan into the tea house. Then he opened his computer and started to handle the work Yan had assigned.
When the phone rang, Qin Xiu was dealing with a set of data. He picked up the phone and connected it without even looking at it. “Hello, this is Qin Xiu.”
“Mr. Qin, hello, it’s me, Zhu Qianying!”
Qin Xiu’s other hand was still typing on the keyboard, and his mind was completely focused on the bid. When he heard Zhu Qianying’s name, his attention was immediately pulled away from the bid.
“Miss Zhu, hello!” He exclaimed, a hint of surprise evident in his voice.
Of course he was surprised. For half a month now, he’s had to deal every day with Yan’s mother’s inquiries and Yan’s cranky whining.
Now that the instigator had shown up, his tough days were finally coming to an end.
Not long after he hung up Zhu Qianying’s call, Yan came out with a smile on his face, accompanied by Boss Zhou, who had a gloomy face.
He had anticipated this scene, so when he got out of the car, he calmly nodded at Boss Zhou, “Hello, Boss Zhou!”
The other party ignored him and rushed off, leaving the two behind.
Qin Xiu opened the back door of the car and waited for Yan to sit down. Then he leaned over with the door in his hand and said to Yan, who still had a smile in the car, “Sir, Miss Zhu just called.”
Then, he clearly saw his boss’s smile stopped at the corner of his mouth.
