Chapter 14 Two-timing?
"There's one more thing. I don't think we can continue like this. We have to find a way to change things. What do you think?" Shen Yanqiu said, expressing her thoughts.
Zhu Tingyue thought for a moment and then agreed.
"Do you have any ideas?" Zhu Tingyue asked him.
“I think what happened to us is very illogical and cannot be resolved by ordinary methods. What do you think about us going to a temple in the suburbs? I heard that there is a very famous Master Liaowu. Maybe we can go and see him?”
"I have no objections, I'll do whatever you say!"
"I'm all set here. Is there anything else you need to tell me?" Shen Yanqiu asked her.
Zhu Tingyue hesitated for a long time before finally asking, "Um, how are my parents?"
Her tone was hesitant, as if she dared not ask the question.
Shen Yanqiu understood her worries, so she comforted her, "Everything is fine. If you're really worried, you can come back to the Zhu family with me to take a look. That way you can put your mind at ease."
Zhu Tingyue hesitated; she wanted to reply but didn't dare.
She had never been separated from her parents for such a long time before; this was the first and only time.
She really missed her parents, but she didn't know what reason to give to go back. The Shen family's illegitimate son showing up at their door would definitely be big news. She decided not to go back; she couldn't cause her parents any trouble.
Shen Yanqiu saw through her thoughts, so she tried to cheer her up by saying, "Your little cat named September looks quite cute, but for some reason, it's afraid to come near me. Did you do something to it?"
"How could that be? I love my little September the most, she's so cute. By the way, did you do what I told you to do?"
I don't know which matter she was referring to, but it certainly wasn't anything good. He nodded repeatedly and said, "I did it, I did it!" His tone was sincere and his attitude earnest, making it impossible to tell if he was being genuine.
"Did you really do everything I said?"
Zhu Tingyue couldn't believe that he could actually meet such demanding conditions. Could he be lying to her?
Seeing the disbelief on Zhu Tingyue's face, Shen Yanqiu nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, repeatedly saying, "I did it, I really did it. You can ask me if you don't believe me."
Zhu Tingyue didn't know if he had really done it, but it didn't matter whether he did or not; she was just teasing him.
"Yes, you did very well, I'm very satisfied, and you deserve praise. Keep up the good work and keep striving!" Zhu Tingyue praised him.
From her expression, Shen Yanqiu knew she was teasing him, so he nodded in agreement.
The two agreed on the situation and arranged to go to the company the next day and then go home separately.
When Zhu Tingyue returned to the Shen family, the butler, Uncle Li, came up to her and greeted her: "Young Master, the clothes and accessories you requested have been delivered and placed in your room. The car is also in the garage. If there is anything you are not satisfied with, I will replace it for you."
"Not bad efficiency!" Zhu Tingyue nodded in satisfaction and said to him, "Thank you, Uncle Li."
"Of course, you should rest first."
"Walk slowly."
Zhu Tingyue hummed a song as she went upstairs, in a wonderful mood!
I had a good night's sleep and went to work feeling refreshed the next morning.
Finally, she didn't have to squeeze onto the same bus as Shen Yanqiu's father anymore. Recalling the awkward scene from yesterday, Zhu Tingyue got goosebumps all over her body.
The two sat side by side in the back seat. Perhaps unaccustomed to being with her son like this, Shen Yingchu tried her best to find topics to talk about, first asking about Shen Yanqiu's childhood life, and then asking about his business plans.
Zhu Tingyue knew nothing when asked, but her upbringing made it impossible for her not to answer.
Shen Yingchu asked her if she had a good childhood. She said she wasn't good at studying.
Shen Yingchu asked her what she planned to do in the future. She said she would cherish her time, exercise more, and think less.
The main theme is a question-and-answer format, with random answers to questions.
The conversation stalled, and Shen Yingchu sat obediently, while Zhu Tingyue kept her eyes down, like an old monk in meditation, her gaze fixed straight ahead, very well-behaved.
Moreover, she had reason to suspect that Shen Yingchu had demoted her to the planning department as revenge for what happened that morning!
Today I don't have to hitch a ride with him anymore. Zhu Tingyue walked towards the garage and saw a black Bugatti.
She knew nothing about cars, and her knowledge of them was limited to recognizing car logos. So when she saw the Bugatti logo, her dissatisfaction with Shen Yingchu lessened considerably.
Although he may not seem to care much about his son verbally, he does care in his actions!
She opened the navigation and arrived at the location Shen Yanqiu had sent her. The four characters "Jianian Technology" looked rather pitiful in the gap between the office buildings.
After stepping out of the elevator, she paused slightly and began to slowly scan the so-called "company" in front of her.
This hardly deserves to be called a company! It's practically a cramped, crammed space. A single, casual glance reveals the entire room. It's supposed to be a company, but it's probably smaller than your own bathroom.
She couldn't help but mutter to herself, "Can someone really work in such a tiny place?"
Even the small planning department where Zhu Tingyue had just worked for a day had ten people, while this place called a company only seemed to have five or six people!
"Where were you yesterday? You skipped work! You've learned to slack off, huh!"
While she was in a daze, a handsome man came over, and he seemed to be quite familiar with Shen Yanqiu.
"I had some personal business to attend to, but that's why I'm here today," she said, feigning familiarity as she glanced at the others as if supervising them, but actually looking for her own seat.
"What private matter? Is there anything I don't know about?"
His gossipy gaze piqued Zhu Tingyue's curiosity. This person must be very familiar with Shen Yanqiu. If that's the case, then she could...
"What do you know? Don't talk nonsense." Zhu Tingyue seemed angry, but was actually waiting for him to bring up the topic.
The man fell for it. He grabbed her arm, leaned closer, and whispered, "Hehe! Is your girlfriend throwing a tantrum? If you ask me, with your looks—I mean, with your handsome appearance—what kind of girlfriend can't you find? Why did you have to pick one who's so difficult, and you're still treating her like a grandson? Listen to me, dump her, and I'll introduce you to someone better."
He talked on and on, and Zhu Tingyue grew angrier the more she listened. Undeterred, she asked again, "Which girlfriend are you talking about?"
The man in front of me stared wide-eyed: "Bro, how many girlfriends do you have? I misjudged you. I thought you were a respectable person! Do your rich girlfriends know you're two-timing like this?"
Zhu Tingyue was certain he was talking about her, and her anger flared: Did Shen Yanqiu think she was just a drama queen? Judging from his tone, he'd been unhappy with her for a long time. He was truly arrogant; she'd given him too much face! He spent her money every day and dared to complain about her?
Hmph! When Shen Yanqiu arrives, she'll settle the score with him again.
