Chapter 632: Chapter 632: Bringing a Stepfather Home

Zhu Haoming, who was following behind Zhu Zhizhou, naturally, clearly heard what Zhu Junwei said. His face turned red and then white, as if he had been harshly slapped multiple times.

He started to hesitate, unsure of whether to advance or retreat.

After reprimanding Zhu Zhizhou, Zhu Junwei shot a scornful glance at Zhu Haoming, whose face was full of mixed emotions.

"Sorry, my dear brother, I’m back, your mission ends here."

"Third brother..." Zhu Haoming, despite being ridiculed, still wanted to explain something.

Zhu Junwei, however, ignored him and said to Zhu Shaofen and Zhu Shaoyong behind him, "Uncle, mom, please escort me to the main platform."

Zhu Junwei was not dismissed, so his return meant that today’s cocktail party was no longer necessary, because the principal had returned, the substitutes naturally became irrelevant.

The guests at the party were eagerly anticipating the inevitable spectacular battle between the Zhu brothers.

Despite Zhu Junwei’s dispirited appearance, the moment he appeared, his aura was extraordinarily stronger than Zhu Zhizhou and Zhu Haoming, who seemed healthy and energetic.

The event initially intended to celebrate the acting president’s inauguration, was now clearly going to become a celebration of the president’s return.

Song Zhicheng, who had everything under control, sat amidst the distinguished guests, his face gloomy and terrible.

Soon, many unnamed Weibo accounts started to share snippets of the cocktail party. After a look around, netizens agreed that life was indeed more dramatic than television dramas.

Zhu Qianying, who had heard about Zhu Haoming’s appointment, saw these videos too. After watching them, she immediately called Cheng Ye.

"Cheng Ye, have you seen those videos from Mingxuan?"

"Yeah, I just finished watching them!"

Cheng Ye seemed undisturbed by the call, indirectly confirming Zhu Qianying’s suspicions.

"What are your thoughts?" Zhu Qianying continued to probe.

"As the netizens said, very dramatic," Cheng Ye replied frankly.

"As the director general, are you satisfied with this result?"

"Heh, it’s okay!" Cheng Ye didn’t deny it.

Zhu Qianying, watching this drama play out, said, "However, Zhu Junwei is indeed powerful. After his appearance, the shares of Mingxuan skyrocketed within a short period, right?"

"Yes, you bought quite a few at a low price? Try to bear it for a while, you can earn more."

Cheng Ye was also watching this drama unfold.

"Pfft, how do you know I bought quite a few?" Zhu Qianying couldn’t help but laugh, and the focus of the conversation gradually shifted.

"Looking at your poor state, if you didn’t buy these, what else could you afford? A car or a house?"

After careful observation, Cheng Ye discovered that she remained the same as before. Apart from collecting trinkets, she would seize the opportunity to buy Mingxuan’s stocks when the price was low.

"Why can’t I afford food, and besides buying a car or a house, I can only afford this? Maybe I have a pretty-boy lover outside!"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Ye chuckled, "Even if you wanted to, you wouldn’t have the energy."

Zhu Qianying was once again left speechless by his confidence.

In fact, she had to admit, he was right, given his energy, how could she have the energy to deal with others?

"By the way, I won’t be home for dinner tonight. If you’re free, pick up the baby boy and Xiao Lizi, or have the driver pick them up."

"Working overtime? Or entertaining guests?"

"Entertaining guests..."

The content of their conversation had completely deviated from the Zhu family and their affairs. It was clear that for Zhu Qianying, whether it was Mingxuan Group or the Zhu family, they were all unrelated to her.

After hanging up, Zhu Qianying tidied up and left.

With Cheng Ye away, she had to take over all the supervisory tasks. Even if she couldn’t monitor them all day, she would try to visit a few shops daily to check on the progress and situation.

After making her rounds, she picked up the baby boy and then went to pick up Xiao Lizi from the restaurant and took them home.

As soon as she brought the baby boy into the store, she saw Xiao Lizi coming out of the kitchen with a plate of snacks.

"Aunt Ying Zi, baby boy, come and taste the new snacks that grandma made."

Because the children liked them, Chen Jing started experimenting with various fresh fruits as filling for different kinds of snacks.

These snacks, originally intended for the children at home, became popular with the younger crowd in the restaurant. Xiao Lizi, the little foodie, rushed into the kitchen to snatch some as soon as he smelled the familiar aroma after returning from school.

"Wow, is it pineapple flavor today?"

Like a puppy, the young master sniffed and then immediately ran after Xiao Lizi.

Zhu Qianying smiled at the two little foodies, shook her head, and walked into the kitchen.

"Mom, why haven’t I seen Uncle Luo today?"

That’s all she cared about now.

Chen Jing was instructing Small Mountain and Ah Feng to take the snacks out of the oven and seemed too busy to answer her daughter.

Zhu Qianying, however, knew well that this was her mother feeling embarrassed and not wanting to speak in front of her two disciples.

This once again proved that her mother was hiding something. Otherwise, her question was nothing more than ordinary, answering it won’t reveal anything.

Even without an answer, Zhu Qianying was not anxious. She leaned against a side in her leisure time, waiting for Small Mountain and Ah Feng to finally move the snacks to another operating table.

Zhu Qianying then repeated the question, "Mom, why haven’t I seen Uncle Luo?"

Chen Jing lowered her head and took off the thick gloves from her hands, "He didn’t come!"

Zhu Qianying raised an eyebrow, "Oh? Why?"

Zhu Qianying thought that at this point, Luo Yifan should be pressing hard and taking advantage, right?

Who knows that with her mother’s indecisiveness, she might come up with a different idea tomorrow.

"He said he’ll come over again when I’ve made up my mind and can give him a definite answer,"

Chen Jing didn’t hide it anymore. After all, she had confided everything, even the most embarrassing things, to her daughter the night before, so this wasn’t a big deal.

Zhu Qianying was indeed surprised. Luo Yifan, besides his dominance, didn’t forget to show his gentlemanly demeanor.

She wondered whether to praise him or not.

"Mom, how long are you planning to think about it? After missing this opportunity, there won’t be another one. Don’t think too long, there’s no shortage of people who like a person like Uncle Luo!"

Her mother’s temperament was mild and sometimes even when she had made a decision, she was slower than others.

"Ying’er, why are you so eager to shove me off?" Chen Jing was quite indignant at her daughter’s complaint.

Zhu Qianying walked over and hugged her waist, rubbing her cheek with her chin, "Mom, I don’t plan on sending you away. I just want you to help me and Xiao Yu find a stepfather."
