Chapter 51 Strange Relationship
Qu Zhen dodged in a panic. In the next second, a pair of strong arms reached out from the side and pulled her.
Qu Zhen narrowly avoided it, and all the soup fell on the table.
“Thank you!”
Qu Zhen's beautiful eyes sparkled with tears. She was shocked to be in Shang Yan's arms, and her voice trembled as she thanked him.
Qu Xiao felt that the scene before her eyes was particularly dazzling. Pa! She slammed her bowl and chopsticks heavily on the round table.
Everyone's gaze fell on Qu Xiao.
She curled the corners of her lips and stared at the nanny as she said, “I heard that the nannies who are able to work in the Qu family are all professionally trained. There is absolutely no room for any mistakes. Fortunately, my husband is here today to help. Otherwise, you would have been in trouble.”
Qu Xiao emphasized the word 'husband'. She turned to look at Qu Zhen and asked, “Is that right, sister?”
Qu Zhen returned to her senses and stood up. She gently patted the soup stains on the hem of her dress and said to the terrified nanny, “You can leave. I'll be fine.”
Yang Mei sensed that the atmosphere was tense. She cleared her throat and wanted to change the topic.
The Butler quickly tidied up the dirty floor and left the scene in a flash.
Yang Mei looked at Qu Zhen with gentle eyes. “Zhen, you returned to China with full academic credits ahead of time. Do you have a plan for your career? I think Qu Group is not bad. Why don't you help out?”
They clearly wanted to plant her in the company to carry out their schemes.
Qu Xiao's red lips moved slightly. She was about to decline when Qu Zhen shook her head. “The company's matters are handled by professionals. I won't be going for the time being.”
“I'm planning to open a Chinese medicine clinic. It's my dream to be able to treat patients and save people. Of course, I can also help Shang Yan treat his legs.”
Qu Zhen and Shang Yan looked at each other. She suddenly tilted her head and teased herself with a chuckle, “Although the Shang family has many famous doctors at home and abroad to treat you, and I might not be able to compare to their standards, I'm still confident in Chinese medicine. Do you want to give it a
try?”
Qu Xiao's hands were clenched tightly under the table, and the hem of her cheongsam was ruffled.
Qu Zhen's every sentence was not out of line, but it made her feel stifled and she had nowhere to vent. Her emotions were so fluctuating that it was difficult to control.
“Thank you for thinking of my husband's physical condition.”
“But this is our private family matter, so it's not good for outsiders to be involved.”

Qu Xiao adjusted her breathing as best as she could and imitated Qu Zhen's tone as she retorted, “It just so happens that I know a little about Chinese medicine as well. I'll be the one treating his condition. You don't have to worry about him!”

“He looks very unhealthy. He needs someone who understands Chinese medicine to take care of him.”
Qu Xiao's tone was a little stiff, and Qu Zhen seemed a little anxious. Her beautiful face flushed red, and she wanted to open her mouth to explain.
Qu Qi fiddled with her nails and could not help but say mockingly, “Don't joke around. You know Chinese medicine?” “You've been bad at studying since you were young. Your science grades were so bad. Can you even remember the names of Chinese herbs?”
“Big sister really wants to help. Stop being jealous and delay CEO Shang's recovery.”
Shang Yan interrupted Qu Qi's words with a slight frown. He nodded at Qu Zhen as if to express his gratitude, “Xiao has been helping me with my recovery recently, and I think she's doing well. Perhaps you two can exchange your knowledge regarding Chinese medicine in the future.”
With Shang Yan's guarantee, even though Qu Qi still had doubts in her heart, she did not dare to bring it up again.
The atmosphere at the dining table was awkward. Qu Zhen quietly picked up two lotus roots and placed them between her lips and teeth. She suddenly thought of something and looked at Mr. Qu, “Dad, I called the Ling family before I returned to China and invited Ling Chi to our house as a guest. After all, our two families are considered family friends…”
“Ling Chi has always had a good relationship with us. Why isn't he here today?”
Qu Xiao's movements paused. Her eyes were fixed on Qu Zhen, trying to read into her expression.
However, Qu Zhen calmly looked back at her, as if she did not know the relationship between Ling Chi and Qu Xiao.
Mr. Qu stole a glance at Shang Yan's expression and lowered his voice as he leaned over. “There's a misunderstanding between Ling Chi and CEO Shang. Uncle Ling recently sent him out of the country. I'm afraid he won't be able to come back to celebrate your return to China.”
Qu Zhen's mouth was wide open in surprise. She turned around and said to Shang Yan, “There is a misunderstanding between the two of you?” “When I was overseas, Ling Chi asked his friends to take care of me. I owe him a favor.”
Qu Zhen rubbed her hands lightly. The corners of her lips curled into a flattering smile as she blinked her eyes and said, “Shang Yan, can I ask you to help get Ling Chi back here?”
