Chapter 71 -71: Had a Falling Out with the Family?
No matter how Zhu Zhizhou made himself look pitiful and tried to persuade her, Zhu Qianying did not budge at all.
Indeed, she did not hide her cold mockery and ridicule.
She considered herself not a bad person, but neither did she consider herself a saint.
As for her father and brother, who had never shown her love and care, she was not able to love them, and naturally, she couldn’t help them either.
In the end, Zhu Zhizhou seemed somewhat infuriated by Zhu Qianying’s constant refusal, stopped trying to hide his true feelings and pointed directly at Zhu Qianying’s nose to yell at her.
“Zhu Qianying, have you forgotten? I’m your dad! Before you marry into the Yan Family, you’re still my daughter. Given the current state of our family, we’re just asking you to make a call. Is that too much to ask? Or now that you’re poised to be Yan’s lady, do the lives of the Zhu Family members mean nothing to you?”
Zhu Qianying coldly stared at the fully exposed Zhu Zhizhou. She credited him for his acting skills, as he had tolerated her since the end of the selection process, and it wasn’t until today that he finally lost his temper. She thought it wasn’t an easy feat for him to endure for so long.
“Dad, I didn’t forget you’re my father. But, did you forget that when I joined Mingxuan, my older brother told me that I’m only qualified to be a waitress. But in reality, I couldn’t even make it as a waitress. Therefore, where would the courage come from for me to resolve such a big issue now? With you, my elder brother, second brother, third brother, and fourth brother upholding the Zhu Family, what’s there to be afraid of?”
Zhu Qianying and Zhu Zhizhou were arguing in the corridor when Chen Jing appeared out of nowhere. Zhu Zhizhou immediately grabbed her to speak to Zhu Qianyou.
“Right, you’re capable now! Have you forgotten who has been providing good food and a house for you, your mother, and your sister? Now that you’re on the verge of glorious success, have you forgotten your family name?”
Zhu Zhizhou bringing this up only made Zhu Qianying angrier. Ignoring her mother who was standing next to Zhu Zhizhou and hinting at her, she loudly retorted.
“Till today, I still call you ‘Father’ because your blood flows in my veins. That’s a fact that nobody can change. However, if you insist that we threesome of mother and daughters have been eating and living well because of you, I can’t agree! I’d like to ask, how much is the salary for hiring a chef of my mother’s caliber a month? Have you paid her any salary after you seduced her into bed? Has she ever failed to serve your stomach well all these years? Her unpaid salary for these years is more than enough to support the three of us. Moreover, besides paying for me and Xiao Yu’s tuition, have you ever provided for our other needs? I won’t even mention Xiao Yu – even her university tuition is paid by me. Do you really have the face to say that it is you who have been providing for us?”
Zhu Zhizhou fell silent under Zhu Qianying’s harsh rebuttal, infuriated to the point of rolling his eyes, but he knew he was in the wrong and his eloquence was no match for Zhu Qianying’s.
He had no choice but to vent his anger on Chen Jing standing by his side, “Look at the daughter you’ve raised. She’s gained some abilities, became independent, and completely disregards her parents! We’re only asking her to make a call to the Young Master Yan, to ask for a little favor. But not only did she refuse to make the call, she’s even criticising me as if I’m an enemy.”
Zhu Qianying detested his behaviour of turning his own anger onto others, but unfortunately, her mother, after hearing his complaints, was trying to appease his anger with a terrified expression.
This infuriated Zhu Qianying tremendously and she also felt disheartened.
Zhu Qianying lost interest in looking at her mother’s helpless expression and turned to return to her bedroom. She swiftly packed her things, shouldered her backpack, and walked out.
“Ying’er, where are you going?”
Chen Jing attempted to chase after her, but she was held back by Zhu Zhizhou, “She’s a Yan now. Naturally, she’s going to Yan Family’s place. Did you think she’d stay with Zhu Family and suffer with us?”
Zhu Qianying didn’t even have the strength to rebut, as she briskly descended the stairs and energetically walked out the main door, intending to catch a bus for a random trip.
“Horn, horn, horn!” A sound of a car horn came from afar. By the time Zhu Qianying looked up, a familiar car was driving towards her.
The car stopped beside Zhu Qianying with a screech, and the car window rolled down. Xing Bailun leaned over from the driver’s seat, “Ying Zi, where are you going?”
Zhu Qianying didn’t bother with the pleasantries, and directly opened the passenger door, got into the car, fastened her seat belt and asked, “Are you looking for me?”
In her knowledge, since she and Xing Bailun had become good friends, his relationship with the Zhu Family had cooled down significantly.
They barely had any personal interactions besides their official engagements.
“Yes!” Xing Bailun did not beat around the bush and admitted directly, “Is it confirmed between you and Yan?”
The tone of Xing Bailun was quite calm, but Zhu Qianying could vaguely perceive his inner turbulence.
Among Qi Xiao and the others, after seeing the headline news, all of them had sent messages to confirm, except him who drove my himself to ascertain the news.
She didn’t wish to delve deeper into the meaning behind his actions.
But just because she didn’t want to probe deeper, it didn’t mean she could escape it.
“Aaron, it was actually decided between Yan and me after the evaluation ended.”
Xing Bailun remained silent, and he drove attentively until the crossroads before asking, “Do you have anything else to do afterwards?”
Zhu Qianying shook her head honestly, “No, I just wanted to wander around and relax. You can drop me off wherever you want.”
Xing Bailun threw her a deep glance, “Did you have a fight at home?”
Zhu Qianying lifted the corner of her lips into a smirk and laughed dismissively. “Is it considered a fight? In their eyes, it’s just me throwing a tantrum and running away from home.”
“I heard about it. After Yan issued a statement, several creditors went straight to your father’s office for their money. The situation is going to escalate from here. In the future, your father will surely exploit your relationship with Yan to gain some advantages. If you don’t want to get caught in the crossfire, you should stay away for a while and avoid looking at the ugly sides of your father and his gang.”
Zhu Qianying gave a hum in response. She was thinking the same thing, which was why she had decided to pack her bags and leave.
“Do you have a place in mind? Would you like me to help you plan?”
Thinking about it, over the years, Xing Bailun had appeared to help her in a timely manner whenever she needed assistance.
In the past, Zhu Qianying thought of it as a common supportive act between buddies and didn’t need to express any gratitude specifically.
Now, however, she felt that she might have unknowingly missed something.
“I’m thinking of visiting Xiao Yu. Can you drop me at the high-speed railway station?”
This plan was made on a whim.
“You’re going to R City to see Xiao Yu? That’s perfect; I also have to go to R City for some matters. How about this? You wait for me overnight, and tomorrow morning I’ll come to pick you up. It gets quite boring on the way, so having you accompany me would be better.”
In this way, Zhu Qianying found herself unable to refuse.

“Alright then, just drop me off somewhere, I’ll find a hotel to stay, and you can go on with your work.”
Xing Bailun parked the car in front of a certain hotel, accompanied her inside to check-in, they agreed on the departure time for the next day, and then Xing Bailun left hurriedly.
