NOVEL NEXT Chapter 406: Uncle, This Is Your Future Niece-in-Law!
But he then thought about his Uncle...
Recently, his grandmother told him that he was now the only descendant of the Zhou Family.
Descendants are a big deal for a family!
His Uncle must have deeply hurt his grandmother's heart.
When he sees his grandmother later, he must think of a way to properly comfort her.
As soon as Jin Cheng got out of the car, he saw Zhen Mei Qiu who had been waiting at the door for a long time.
The moment Zhen Mei Qiu saw Jin Cheng step out of the car, her eyes filled with tears. She quickly stepped forward and hugged Jin Cheng tightly, lamenting, "Child, how have you gotten so thin? Don't you like the food abroad? Why didn't you tell me or ask your Uncle to arrange a nanny for you!"
As for why Jin Cheng shouldn't ask his mother, of course, it's because his mother was the one who sent him abroad to toughen up, a ruthless woman who only wants her child to become independent early. How could she possibly help him find a nanny!
Thus, Zhen Mei Qiu and Zhou Jinyuan are almost like Jin Cheng's external aid, helping him suffer less and get through the tough life abroad!
He didn't feel much when he was cared for over the phone, but the moment Zhen Mei Qiu embraced him, Jin Cheng suddenly felt a warm current flowing through his heart.
Jin Cheng smiled and said, "No, maybe I've just been busy with work recently, it's nothing."
Zhen Mei Qiu released Jin Cheng and stretched out her hands to gently stroke Jin Cheng's distinct cheek, complaining with affection, "Your mom really, why did she find you so much work!"
Jin Cheng quickly spoke on behalf of his mom, "My mom is also doing this for my own good, and I really do feel completely different than before."
In the past, on the economical variety shows, he didn't know anything and could only rely on Chen Xixi's help to eat. Now, through these two months of hard training, he has already learned a lot of everyday knowledge.
He can definitely impress Chen Xixi now!
Zhen Mei Qiu frowned, "You must have been PUA'd by your mom! You have ready-made happiness but choose to suffer instead!"
"Suffering leads to growth."
"Who told you that?"
Jin Cheng proudly said with a proud look, "My Uncle said it!"
Zhen Mei Qiu looked skeptical, "Your Uncle has never even entered the kitchen from a young age, always having a nanny to serve him everywhere. What does he know about suffering, and he tells you that suffering leads to growth? I suspect your Uncle definitely colluded with your mom to trick you!"
Jin Cheng was stunned, and he asked Zhen Mei Qiu incredulously, "Really?"
"Why would I lie to you about this?"
So there are ways to become amazing without washing dishes!
Seeing Jin Cheng's surprised expression, Zhen Mei Qiu continued, "You must have been tricked by those two siblings! You are still too young!"
Jin Cheng was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly his eyes became extremely determined, "Impossible! One is my Uncle, the other is my own mom, they would never trick me!"
Zhen Mei Qiu sighed heavily, oh child, still so young, twenty years old, just the age to be deceived and taken advantage of.
After Jin Cheng finished speaking, he immediately asked, "Is my Uncle here?"
He couldn't wait to meet his legendary Little Aunt!
Zhen Mei Qiu said, "He's in the upstairs study, discussing business matters with your grandfather."
Once inside the house, Zhen Mei Qiu had the servants bring up the fruit desserts Jin Cheng liked, all prepared in advance, "Have something to fill your stomach first, we will start dinner when your grandfather and Uncle come down."
After sitting on a plane the whole day, Jin Cheng was exhausted. He sprawled on the couch and took a piece of the small cake personally baked by Zhen Mei Qiu, contentedly saying, "Home is truly the best!"
Jin Cheng had loved Zhen Mei Qiu's baked small cakes since he was young. Back then he was just a little child, it seemed in the blink of an eye he had suddenly grown up, and now thin like this, Zhen Mei Qiu found him more and more pitiful to look at.
Zhen Mei Qiu advised, "Why don't you just come back? Don't go abroad. There's no need for you to suffer there. Our family doesn't lack someone to wash dishes or serve tables."
Seeing Zhen Mei Qiu's worried expression, Jin Cheng quickly comforted her, "It's just a little tough, about 40% tough. It's okay for me, really. Don't worry about me!"
Though his job involved washing and serving dishes, the foreigners and international students at the restaurant didn't know his real identity. Thus, they didn't treat him in a flattering way, and he learned a lot of life skills and interpersonal skills at work.
He was no longer someone who only thought about spending money. His life experiences had gradually enriched, and his life was much more enjoyable than before.
"How can I not worry when you've become so thin? If you're worried that your mom won't agree, it's okay, I can talk to your mom!"
Jin Cheng immediately refused, "No, I used to lack nothing, so aside from spending money, I wasn't interested in anything. But now, I have life goals! So I must persevere! Please, don't interfere!"
Zhen Mei Qiu was suspicious, "Do you have a girlfriend overseas?"
Otherwise, why would Jin Cheng insist on washing dishes overseas?
"I don't, but…" Jin Cheng shyly whispered, "Soon, I was just about to discuss this with you. You don't need to be too upset about Uncle's matter. Once I settle with my girlfriend, the Zhou Family will have a future too."
In fact, Zhen Mei Qiu wasn't upset anymore because she already had a future daughter-in-law, but she didn't comment on Jin Cheng's girlfriend matter.
Jin Cheng was still young, not yet at the age for marriage, so she was not in a hurry.
The moment Jin Cheng finished speaking, a calm voice came from behind him, "You're talking about having a girlfriend?"
Jin Cheng immediately turned around and saw Zhou Jinyuan standing behind him, boasting cheerfully, "Not yet, but soon, probably tomorrow night."
Tomorrow night?
Zhou Jinyuan raised an eyebrow suspiciously, indicating that the person Jin Cheng was interested in was in the country.
After dinner, Zhou Jinyuan went upstairs to the study to look for something, and Jin Cheng wooshed following him.
Jin Cheng sat at a corner of the desk, watching Zhou Jinyuan searching something in the drawer, curiously smiling, "Uncle, where is Little Aunt?"
Zhou Jinyuan wasn't surprised that Jin Cheng knew about his relationship because his mother and sister were both gossipy, and it was normal that this couldn't be kept secret.
Zhou Jinyuan, without lifting his head, responded, "You'll meet her when the time comes."
Jin Cheng couldn't wait, "Can you tell me now who she is? I want to see."
Zhou Jinyuan paused his search for a moment.
He leaned back in his chair, looked up at Jin Cheng, and asked leisurely, "Want to see? Sure, but first tell me who the girlfriend you're talking about tomorrow night is."
Jin Cheng touched his neck, his ears gradually reddening, "Just a very outstanding girl."
Saying this, his face quickly showed a smug expression.
It was his first time talking about love, and though he felt embarrassed, he couldn't help but wanted to show off to his uncle, letting his uncle feel the beauty attack from Chen Xixi!
Thus, Jin Cheng turned the laptop on the desk towards him, rapidly typed something, then turned the computer screen back to his Uncle.
Pointing at the pretty girl on the screen, he proudly said, "Uncle, this is your future niece-in-law!"
Zhou Jinyuan's deep gaze fell on the computer screen, his eyes narrowed slightly.
The next second, Zhou Jinyuan's words were colder than the cold in January, cold enough to freeze Jin Cheng's heart.
Zhou Jinyuan said, "That's your Little Aunt."
Jin Cheng: "!!!"
The smile on Jin Cheng's face instantly cracked.
