Chapter 1095: Chapter 1093: Your Dad... Has Gone Crazy
"Xiao Yu, Mom’s fine. I’ll get off at the South Gate in a little while. See if you can take some time off to come pick me up."
The situation this time is as long as a bolt of cloth. On the phone, Chen Jing knew she couldn’t explain it clearly.
"Alright, give me a call when you arrive at the South Gate. My classroom is nearby."
Zhu Qianyu seemed to relax a bit and reminded her a couple of times before hanging up.
About twenty minutes later, Zhu Qianyu saw her mother at the security post of the South Gate.
"Mom, you came here on your own, does Sister know?"
Chen Jing shook her head, "She doesn’t know!"
Even Chen Jing herself only learned that her younger daughter had a boyfriend after boarding the plane, and this boyfriend was the young master of one of the top domestic conglomerates, the Ji Family.
"Did you come here by yourself? What happened? Did Aunt and the others bully you?"
As she spoke, Zhu Qianyu pulled Chen Jing over, first checking her face and neck, then rolling up her sleeves to inspect closely, and only exhaled deeply after confirming that her mother had no injuries.
Chen Jing stood there blankly, letting her daughter fuss over her. It took her a while to react, "Xiao Yu, they didn’t do anything to me. I came with your dad and your elder brother."
Hearing this, Zhu Qianyu frowned and looked up, "You came with Dad and Zhu Junzhao? What are they up to?"
Since Ji Huan and Zhu Qianying had already warned Zhu Qianyu in advance, she quickly caught on, "Are they here to give Uncle Ji and Aunt Tong trouble?"
Chen Jing felt a mix of emotions at her daughter’s affectionate address for the two formidable figures she met in the morning.
"Xiao Yu, do you know Mr. Ji and President Le?" Chen Jing asked cautiously.
Although she had listened in the morning as an observer, and felt that Mr. Ji and President Le were siding with her little daughter, she hadn’t expected her daughter to be on such familiar terms with those powerful figures.
"Mom, come with me."
Zhu Qianyu pulled Chen Jing out of the security post and found a table in a café outside the school to sit down.
She briefly recounted everything from meeting Ji Huan to recent events to Chen Jing.
Even this simple narrative took Chen Jing a long time to process before she finally understood.
"Are you saying you’re living with the Ji Family now?"
Zhu Qianyu nodded, "Yes, Aunt Tong and Uncle Ji have been very kind to me. I think they’re worried Zhu Junzhao might do something behind Dad’s back, so they encouraged me to stay at their place."
Chen Jing thought about everything that had happened recently and realized that it wasn’t impossible.
"Sigh..." Chen Jing sighed, "It’s all my fault for letting you and your sister suffer over the years. Zhu Shaofen isn’t someone to give up easily. After hitting a wall with your sister, it’s entirely possible she’d try to get back at you."
Chen Jing held Zhu Qianyu’s hand, gently patting the back of it.
"This morning, I went to the Ji Company with your dad. Mr. Ji, President Le, and their eldest son all seem very shrewd and sharp. Are they really good to you?"
Despite everything, Chen Jing still had some doubts, probably because she’d been deceived by Zhu Zhizhou too many times over the years and was wary of promises from wealthy people.
"Mom, don’t worry. The whole family has been very good to me. Just the other day, we even went to visit Grandpa Ji together, and Aunt Tong is planning a time to take me back to her family home."
To reassure her mother, Zhu Qianyu shared all the care and treatment she had received at the Ji Family.
Hearing this, Chen Jing felt much more at ease.
It’s understood that in such prominent families, decorum is of utmost importance. It’s rare for them to bring home a friend’s romantic partner unless they’ve essentially acknowledged the relationship.
"Mom, since you came with Dad and them, where did they go, leaving you alone?" Zhu Qianyu finally recalled the initial question.
"Your dad... he’s lost it!"
To be honest, in these twenty-one years, Zhu Zhizhou had never been particularly kind to her, but she’d never seen him so furious, like he wanted to kill her to vent his anger.
He must truly be at his wit’s end. Thinking the Ji Family was his last ray of hope, only to find that light snuffed out before it even lit up.
"Huh? Lost it?"
Zhu Qianyu didn’t immediately understand her mom’s meaning and frowned, asking again.
Chen Jing had originally intended to keep it from her daughter, but after hearing what her daughter had shared, she realized there was no need to hide it anymore.
After all, both her daughters had seen the true colors of Zhu Zhizhou and the Zhu Family members much more clearly than she ever could.
Chen Jing briefly recounted the incident at the hotel where Zhu Zhizhou had taken his frustration out on her. After hearing the story, Zhu Qianyu was so angry her hands were trembling.
"Mom, don’t go back. I’ll talk to Sister and help you rent a place in R City. I’ll stay with you."
With Sister’s wedding approaching, Zhu Qianyu felt the responsibility to take care of her mom and ensure she didn’t get into any trouble during this time.
"Xiao Yu..." Chen Jing had her doubts. Her elder daughter had also said she’d help find a place for her to move out once she got married to Young Master Yan, but it had to wait until the wedding.
"Mom, don’t worry about it. I’ll discuss it with Sister."
As Zhu Qianyu spoke, she was already dialing out, and before Chen Jing could stop her, it was too late.
"Sister, Mom was abducted by Dad and Zhu Junzhao early this morning to come to R City to negotiate with Uncle Ji and Aunt Tong..."
Holding her phone, Zhu Qianyu repeated everything her mom had told her like pouring beans from a sack to Zhu Qianying on the other end.
"Sister, my plan is to rent a place in R City and stay with Mom. Anyway, your wedding is soon, so there’s no need for her to return to the Zhu Family to be bullied."
Seeing her daughter take it this far, Chen Jing had no choice but to let the two daughters make arrangements.
It’s said that raising a son is to have support in old age, yet here she was, not even old, and both daughters were already worrying for her!
"Sister, do you think my plan is okay?"
"Xiao Yu, your plan is quite good, but haven’t you forgotten that your own safety is already at risk? Keeping Mom in R City, is it really alright?"
Once her sister mentioned it, Zhu Qianyu remembered that she’d had drivers pick her up and drop her off recently, and there seemed to be bodyguards secretly protecting her. Bringing Mom along would clearly be an extra burden for the Ji Family, wouldn’t it?
"How about this, you take care of Mom for tonight, and I’ll come to pick her up tomorrow. Since she’s already fallen out with Dad, there’s nothing else to worry about. I’ll arrange a place for her to stay directly."
