Chapter 1398

"Perfect. If you become stupid, you can come back and help me manage the Azure Sovereign Group. It saves my old bones from holding everything up." Zhu Shun Yao answered with a grin, nodding in approval of his own idea.

Old bones? He was only in his early forties. Cheng Baokun shook his head and laughed from the side: "Shun Yao, are you reminding me that I am old?"

Everyone silently agreed: There is another two-faced person here.

Zhu Shun Yao saw Cheng Baokun and hurriedly smiled: "How could that be? Brother Baokun, I was just sighing."

"Stop sighing. Fortunately, we are the older generation here. If Uncle Xie Zhong and his generation heard this, they would likely discuss the true meaning of 'old bones' with you." Cheng Baokun was very happy now. Most importantly, he knew that as long as his family stayed with the Zhu family, the Cheng family’s development would be secure. Entering the upper-middle or even top class in the capital was absolutely guaranteed.

Zhu Shun Yao laughed loudly. Zhu Zhibin patted his small chest nearby: "Godfather, you really love us."

"I don't love you," Cheng Baokun said slowly, his expression calm. "I always favor girls over boys. I love your sister more. You just get a little care." He looked at him with disdain. "Besides, what is good about sons? Look at your daughters. They are so obedient. They found partners and brought them home. But sons? No matter how much we urge them, they do nothing." This was aimed at Cheng Xu.

Cheng Xu coughed and only drank the tea in front of him, pretending not to hear. There was no way out. Since he still had no partner, he deserved his father’s teasing.

Zhu Zhibin felt deeply hurt.

Zhu Yanyi watched from the side and laughed out loud. She laughed so hard that she asked Yan Aohan to rub her belly. Yan Aohan smiled in his eyes and naturally did not refuse this benefit.

Time passed quickly while they joked. Taishu Yuanxiang came to invite Zhu Shun Yao and Xie Xinlian out. Zhu Yanyi and the others continued to eat, drink, and chat in the private room.

"Life should be lived lightly like this," Zhu Yanyi said, continuing to chew on sugarcane.

"You probably won’t be relaxed starting tomorrow," Yan Aohan said slowly. "Be careful recently. Pete seems to want to kidnap you and force you to save Eliza."

"Boring," Zhu Yanyi rolled her eyes. "Do I look like someone easily kidnapped? Besides, isn’t your job to handle my security? I am not worried." Zhu Yanyi’s self-defense ability was very strong. Only a fool like Pete would come up with such an unreliable idea.

Yan Aohan smiled slightly: "You don’t need to worry. I have already prepared. If they come, we will let them play well. This shows our Chinese hospitality."

Zhu Yanyi nodded, agreeing with Yan Aohan.

Just then, the door opened. A man walked in. Zhu Yanyi recognized her. She was one of Taishu Yuanxiang’s trusted subordinates, known as Old Four.

"Old Four, why are you here? Aren’t you helping my brother-in-law?" Zhu Zhibin asked curiously.

"Something happened outside," Old Four said hurriedly. "The boss asked us to invite the young miss out."

"No way. Something happened again?" Yan Xinan rested his head entirely on the table. He should have known not to go out.

"Me?" Zhu Yanyi touched her forehead. She wondered if Yan Xinan really had a constitution for banquet accidents. "Who is injured again?" She stood up. Yan Aohan followed her out.

Originally, the ceremony between Taishu Yuanxiang and Zhu Yanli was proceeding smoothly. However, during the toast环节, someone came to make things difficult.

The troublemaker was a woman. She had secretly loved Taishu Yuanxiang. She believed that if she did not marry, she would have a chance to become her woman. But Taishu Yuanxiang had quietly registered her marriage and was now holding a banquet to introduce her wife to everyone.

This made her feel full of bitterness. So, when Taishu Yuanxiang and Zhu Yanli came to toast, she pretended to twist her ankle. Actually, she wanted to push Zhu Yanli.

Taishu Yuanxiang always protected Zhu Yanli and would not let anyone hurt her. Seeing this, she led Zhu Yanli aside to dodge. The woman could not stop her movement in time. Seeing no target in front, she pushed to the side to steady herself. As a result, she pushed Xie Xinlian to the ground.

Zhu Yanyi came out and heard about this. Her face looked very ugly. Zhu Shun Yao had already carried Xie Xinlian to a seat nearby. Zhu Yanyi came over and first checked Xie Xinlian’s whole body condition.

Fortunately, because of Zhu Yanyi’s care over the years, Xie Xinlian’s body was very good. There were no major problems, but her ankle was twisted.

Zhu Yanyi first corrected the bones in Xie Xinlian’s foot. Then she took out medicine to apply and bandage it. After that, she said: "Her ankle is twisted. I will give her acupuncture at home for a few days and then nourish her. She will be fine."

"That is good," Zhu Shun Yao breathed a sigh of relief. Zhu Yanyi told Zhu Shun Yao to carry Xie Xinlian back to the private room first.

Zhu Yanyi turned around and looked at the woman wearing a black tight-fitting dress: "You pushed my mother."

"I didn’t mean to. I just accidentally twisted my foot," the woman said. Her name was Murong Shi. Her name was nice, but her character was not.

"Twisted foot?" Zhu Yanyi said calmly. "Since it is twisted, what do you need feet for?" She picked up two bones and threw them directly.

Others did not know why she threw bones. There were no dogs here. In their surprise, they only heard Murong Shi scream and fall to the ground. She subconsciously held her knees: "My legs."

Yes, Zhu Yanyi had broken her two kneecaps with the two bones. "Since you cannot walk, what do you need feet for? Use a wheelchair from now on." Zhu Yanyi’s face was expressionless.

"This time, you should thank my sister and brother-in-law. Because it is their wedding banquet, I only broke your kneecaps so you would not bleed. If it were usual, I would have chopped off your two legs."

Zhu Yanyi’s cold expression was full of killing intent. It scared her so much that she dared not even breathe heavily.

Taishu Yuanxiang saw this and said from the side: "Little sister, do not be angry. I will get an explanation from the Murong family. They dare to hurt my mother-in-law. The Murong family must want me to visit them often."

This "visit" was not that kind of visit. The word carried strong killing intent. If the Murong family did not give an explanation, they would really destroy the entire Murong family.
