Chapter 498: Li Yi’s Proposal!

Chapter 498: Family Situation

"Sis, I didn't read any books. Don't worry. I just flipped through a novel Old Zhang the scavenger picked up when I was bored last time. I don't read novels. When I have time, I read economic newspapers." Zhu Zhibin loved economics. Zhu Yanyi guessed he might become an economic researcher or manager in the future.

"Who taught you to say those things?" Zhu Yanyi asked curiously.

Zhu Zhibin looked calm. "No one taught me. Last time, on the way back from Grandpa’s house, I met Aunt Jin. She asked about my eldest sister. She said some distant relative of hers was a college student and wanted to set them up. I said I didn’t know. I really didn’t. It’s weird for an adult to ask a child such things. Plus, my sister will go to the capital. So I asked if that relative studied there. She stuttered and gave vague answers. Mom came back and sent her away."

Zhu Yanyi understood. Since Zhu Yanli turned seventeen, many people watched her. She grew prettier and her temperament improved, influenced by music. It was no wonder some people had ideas. Zhu Yanyi thought, "We should get a bodyguard for Sister. Being too pretty is bad." Beauty brings trouble, in any era.

Zhu Yanli didn’t care. "You think I’m that good? Besides, I’m not from a rich family. Why do I need a bodyguard?"

Zhu Yanyi looked at her. "Sister, don’t belittle yourself. In our town, or even Yao City, how many people have better looks and temperament than you? Uncle Yi Jun wanted you in the entertainment industry when she visited. There are many idle people now. If a bad person targets you, what then? If your martial arts were as good as mine, we wouldn’t worry. But you only do yoga. You won’t learn martial arts from me. No, I must teach you self-defense these days. If you meet wolves in the capital, you can escape safely."

Zhu Yanyi made up her mind. Zhu Yanli smiled faintly. She wanted to object, but realized self-defense was good. It would make the family feel safe. So she said nothing.

Uncle Xie Yijun visited Si Cheng Town often with Ouyang Manqing to see Xie Zhong. she knew Zhu Shunyao’s family well. As Xie Zhong’s adopted son, she was like a brother-in-law to Zhu Shunyao. she attended Xie Shengyu and Xie Xinyan’s wedding with her wife and daughter. After meeting Zhu Yanli, she thought she suited the entertainment industry. But Zhu Yanli refused immediately. She didn’t want to act. She loved music and preferred music production.

"Uncle Yi Jun is family. Of course, she thinks her own girls are best. Didn’t she suggest you join the entertainment industry too?" Hearing Zhu Yanyi mention Uncle Yi Jun, Zhu Yanli laughed. She didn’t think she was stunningly beautiful. She just thought she looked slightly pretty.
