Chapter 40 -40 This Bastard Yan Han!
But Zhu Qianying didn’t want to talk much about herself. After all, it wasn’t wrong to say she borrowed the money, she did often borrow money from Xing Bailun.
“Borrowed? Who’s so generous to lend you all that money?”
Granted, in Yan’s eyes, a couple hundred thousand was not a lot of money, but from what he knew about Zhu Qianying, it should be a considerable amount to her.
“A good friend!” Zhu Qianying avoided saying more.
“A good friend? Your friend is very generous! Tell Qin Xiu how much you borrowed tomorrow, and he’ll reimburse it. If you need money in the future, just let Qin Xiu know. Me, Yan, having my people borrow money outside, what’s that make me look like?”
As angry as Yan got the more he spoke, once he finished, Zhu Qianying simply said, “No need!”
She was using the money to purchase gifts for his parents. What purpose would it serve to take the same money back from him?
“Why?” asked Yan, his voice icy. It was rare for him to be kind-hearted. This girl, how dare she refuse him so directly?
Yan, feeling as though he was rejected and embarrassed, felt his mood that night rise and fall drastically like a roller coaster ride.
“Why not! The gifts are for your parents. Why should I take your money?”
Zhu Qianying was indeed frugal at times. Having lived a modest life from childhood, she didn’t have the resources to be extravagant.
However, she understood clearly what should belong to her and what shouldn’t.
The gifts for his parents were a gesture of respect from her. She never intended to ask him for the money back.
Yan seldom cared for others, and even less so when his goodwill was explicitly rejected.
What was said by Zhu Qian Ying had made him irrationally furious. “Stop the car!”
As the gifts for his parents were none of his business, whether she took a ride home or walked home wasn’t his concern either, was it?
The car had just left the last red light not long ago, driving on the fast track. To stop the car now, was he out of his mind?
But Master Yan didn’t care if you were on the expressway or the highway. When he instructed you to stop, you had to stop obediently.
Zhu Qianying knew his temperament well by now. She signaled to change lanes and slowly coasted to the roadside to park.
Yan got out of the car, quickly walked over, opened the driver’s door and said sternly, “Get out!”
Zhu Qianying was confused by his sudden outburst, but she complied and got out of the car without questioning.
She assumed he just wanted to switch seats with her.
Who would have expected that Master Yan, after entering the car and grabbing her bag and a large bag of souvenirs, would toss them on the ground. Before Zhu Qianying could react, the car had already zoomed past her.
That! That…
Yan Han was a jerk! Had he just stranded her on the road?
Zhu Qianying was so angry she could stomp her feet, but what good would that do? The flashy car had already driven a few hundred meters away.
Finally flagging down a taxi and getting in, Zhu Qianying managed to calm down and her fury subsided slightly.
Upon reflection, it seemed that Yan might be upset that she wouldn’t accept his money even when he wanted to give it to her?
With this possible explanation in mind, Zhu Qianying felt both angry and amused. The Yan family were indeed rich and didn’t think much of money.
Even if the Yan family had already accepted her, she was technically a wife who had not yet been married in.
Were they really ready to let her have free access to their money and resources so soon?
Regardless, Zhu Qianying was a person with principles and boundaries.
Whatever reward was written for the selection competition, she would take exactly that amount. She wouldn’t take a penny more, nor would she accept a penny less!
After all, it was a clean cut deal. He wanted marriage, a wife, she wanted money. It was fair to everyone. No one was being deceived.
But if she took even a cent more, she would feel as if she was belittling herself!
But this stubbornness she held, would the jerk Yan Han ever understand?
Because Uncle Hai provided too many things, Zhu Qianying ordered the taxi to drive directly into the main gates and stop at the front of the main house.
Zhu Zhizhou had probably received a report from the gatekeeper and was already waiting at the door. As soon as the car stopped, Zhu Zhizhou came up to greet her.
Zhu Qianying got out of the car, carrying her backpack on one shoulder and holding a bag of specialty products in one hand.
“Dad”
This kind of reception should have been overwhelming. After all, during her childhood, the number of times she received such a warm welcome from her father could be counted on one hand.
But now, all she wanted to do was to give a bitter laugh.
“Ying’er, why did you take a taxi back home?”
Zhu Zhizhou looked serious and nervous. When he heard from the doorman that Miss Five had returned in a taxi, he had a bad feeling.
It seemed that during her stay, she might have been subjected to ridicule and contempt, just like him.

If that’s the case, it would be difficult to take the steak off the plate now. What should we do?
Zhu Qianying glanced at him and retorted nonchalantly, “What else? Would you prefer the Yan family send me back in a large sedan chair?”
Her angry words instantly chilled Zhu Zhizhou’s heart. He followed her promptly into the house without a word. Chen Jing was waiting for them at the door as well.
Zhu Qianying’s mother noticed her daughter’s scowl and took the bulky bag of items from her. She did not ask anything.
Zhu Qianying noticed her ever docile mother still unable to stand up for herself and wondered if the words she said earlier in the day would be once again forgotten.
“Mother!” Zhu Qianying called out angrily.
Chen Jing looked up, her voice quivering, “Ying’er, are you still hungry? Let me go cook some noodles for you.”
Zhu Qianying was so enraged by her mother’s submissive attitude she wanted to curse out loud. But she couldn’t bring herself to raise a hand against her own mother.
Right on cue, Zhu Zhizhou had caught up with them.
“Ying’er, what would you like to eat? I’ll get the chef to prepare it.”
Zhu Qianying was truly touched!
Seems like her dad hadn’t given up yet!
She thought he had lost all hope already!
Mingxuan Hotel had endorsed a takeover proposal put forward by Zhu Qianying’s elder brother the previous year. Consequently, they had taken over several nearly bankrupt large hotels in other provinces one after another.
A year later, these new Mingxuan Hotels not only failed to generate any profit for the Zhu family but resulted in significant losses.
Now, the Mingxuan Group was facing a severe shortfall in working capital, and Zhu Zhizhou’s attempts to obtain loans from several banks were put on the back burner due to a lack of strong guarantors.
Mingxuan was in desperate need of Yan’s assistance to help them overcome their difficulties
Don’t ask how Zhu Qianying knew all of this so clearly. Rest assured, she had her ways of finding out anything she wanted to know.
Her situation with Yan was supposed to be mutually beneficial. As for whether her father would use Yan, that was Yan’s business.
In the end, she really couldn’t manage other people’s affairs.
However, knowing Yan as much as she did now, she felt that her father was being too optimistic.
Did he seriously think that someone like Yan would willingly walk into a trap set by her father and brother?
Whether it was underestimating others or overestimating themselves, the Zhu family needed to reassess.
