Chapter 173 You've already called me Mom, what's so valuable about giving your own daughte
After returning to China, Yan Zhuoyu and Pei Weijin went directly to the Pei family's old residence.
Ever since hearing the news, Pei's mother, Lin Qinglan, has been so worried that she can't sleep or eat.
She did want to fly directly to Italy, but with Pei Hongli detained, the Pei family was about to fall into chaos again. She and Pei Jincheng needed to stabilize the situation in Beijing, and the Pei Group's backlog of affairs also needed to be handled.
Only today, when Lin Qinglan saw Pei Weijin arrive home safely, did she finally feel relieved.
She held Pei Weijin on her left and Yan Zhuoyu on her right, while Pei Jincheng followed silently behind, his eyes filled with worry, but he didn't say a word.
Lin Qinglan's eyes were slightly red, and her words of concern continued: "You've finally returned safely. I saw all those news reports; it was so dangerous."
"Especially Zhuoyu, I am very grateful to you for saving Ajin, but you must not do such dangerous things again without regard for your own safety. If either of you gets hurt, I will be heartbroken."
Yan Zhuoyu shook her head: "Mom, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
She sounded a bit hesitant when she said that; there was no sense of propriety involved.
Hearing so many possibilities and uncertainties, she only wanted to do everything in her power to rescue Pei Weijin, and had no time to analyze the situation or devise a strategy.
"Good, it's good that you're alright. We've hired a new chef and have already told him to prepare dinner. Eat a few extra bowls of rice tonight to nourish yourselves; you've both suffered enough."
Lin Qinglan gently patted Pei Weijin's hand, then turned her gaze to Yan Zhuoyu's hair.
Her once neat, straight hair was now mixed with a lot of dry, yellowed hair and broken strands, making it look somewhat messy.
"Look at your hair, it's all singed."
Lin Qinglan frowned with concern, then took out a VIP card from her bag and handed it to Yan Zhuoyu: "You are an actress, your image is of utmost importance, you must take good care of yourself."
"This is a VIP card for the beauty salon. It's an asset under my name. Once you've rested enough, we'll go together to complete the transfer procedures and I'll transfer the beauty salon to you. You can go there whenever you have time."
Yan Zhuoyu was taken aback. A gold-embossed card appeared in her hand. When she saw the name on the card, she was startled.
"Mom, this is a bit too expensive..."
Zhuxi Lan Health and Beauty Salon is not an ordinary street corner beauty shop, but a nationally renowned chain brand. It also has an exclusive skin rejuvenation patent technology that can rejuvenate the skin. Although it cannot make people look younger overnight, it is not difficult to look three to five years younger. As a result, it has attracted many celebrities and has extremely high turnover.
This gift is worth far more than money.
Lin Qinglan waved her hand and laughed, "You've already called me Mom, what's wrong with giving your own daughter a small gift?"
Yan Zhuoyu looked at Pei Weijin, then readily accepted the generous gift: "Thank you, Mom."
Lin Qinglan nodded in satisfaction: "That's right."
The chef had already started serving the dishes when the butler came over and said, "Madam, dinner is ready."
"Come, come, take a seat and have a meal. Try the cooking of my new chef."
Considering that Yan Zhuoyu and Pei Weijin had just gotten off the plane and rushed over after only changing their clothes, Lin Qinglan specially instructed the chef to prepare light dishes, with only a few spicy dishes placed in the middle, so as not to harm their spleen and stomach if they ate them on an empty stomach.
When a family eats together, there aren't as many rules.
Lin Qinglan frequently served food to Yan Zhuoyu and curiously inquired about her experiences. Finally, she jokingly asked if learning to ride a speedboat at her age was too exciting and inappropriate.
Yan Zhuoyu laughed and said, "How could that be? Mom, you're still young. I can teach you anytime you want to learn."
Lin Qinglan exclaimed with delight, "Really? We'll arrange it according to your schedule. I'm free anytime! I'll have Lao Pei find us a venue later, one that's completely private and guarantees no one will bother us!"
Pei Jincheng finally seized the opportunity to interject, briefly replying, "Okay, sure."
When Yan Zhuoyu first met Lin Qinglan, she was worried that they might not be able to have a good conversation, but now that concern has vanished.
Lin Qinglan had long since retired and received a generous monthly bonus. She spent her days traveling around with her best friends, who were more knowledgeable about the latest trends than she was. The two had a wide variety of topics to discuss and enjoyed each other's company.
Midway through the meal, the butler hurried into the dining room and said, "Madam, Mrs. Pei Hongli has arrived."
Lin Qinglan's expression turned hostile, her warm smile vanishing instantly. She said coldly, "I won't see her. Throw her out, and never let Pei Hongli's family in again."
The housekeeper looked troubled: "She...she drove in and we couldn't stop her. Several bricks on the newly repaired path were crushed."
