NOVEL NEXT Chapter 408: If You Don't Want to Work Anymore, Come Be the Lady Boss
Chen Xixi looked at Jin Cheng's odd expression and suddenly felt that Jin Cheng's question was not that simple.
She indeed met many new colleagues at work recently, but the scope was too broad, and she couldn't figure it out.
Chen Xixi honestly shook her head: "I don't know."
Jin Cheng looked at Chen Xixi and didn't say anything, seemingly lost in thought.
Seeing this, Chen Xixi simply said, "Just tell me directly, who exactly is your all-powerful, rich, and handsome Uncle that you keep worrying about?"
Jin Cheng turned his head away again: "I won't tell you!"
He was furious that the two people he admired most in the world were secretly together behind his back!
And every time he thought about having to call Chen Xixi 'Little Aunt', he felt so uncomfortable he couldn't bring himself to say it!
Since Chen Xixi didn't know, he also chose to keep silent. That way, he temporarily didn't have to call Chen Xixi 'Little Aunt', he would talk about it when he was no longer angry!
Chen Xixi suddenly laughed out, looking at Jin Cheng who seemed inexplicably upset, she slowly said, "I was actually thinking of introducing you to Little Aunt, but if you won't tell me, then never mind."
"No need to introduce, I already have... that one..."
The words 'Little Aunt', Jin Cheng couldn't say it in front of Chen Xixi no matter what.
You see, for the past couple of months, he had been considering Chen Xixi as his girlfriend, and now suddenly she becomes his aunt, how could he calmly accept that?
He needed to get over this mental hurdle first.
Avoidance is shameful, but effective!
Chen Xixi wouldn't fuss over a childish behavior: "That's quite a pity, my friend was just a step too late."
She was more curious about what had suddenly caused Jin Cheng such a big shock.
Just last night when they were chatting on WeChat, he seemed fine.
Jin Cheng looking at Chen Xixi, quickly said, "Not a pity, my... that one, is very outstanding and beautiful, your friend perhaps couldn't compare to mine... that one... in excellence!"
Chen Xixi clicked her tongue lightly: "You're really protective of your Little Aunt."
Turns out Jin Cheng was not just a loyal hardcore fan of his Uncle, but also of his Little Aunt.
Jin Cheng blurted out: "Of course! That is..."
He suddenly stopped talking midway.
He can't be so subservient!
Those two big villains betrayed him, he couldn't just forgive them like that!
Chen Xixi, observing the subtle changes in Jin Cheng's expression, immediately had a bold guess.
Her eyes narrowed slightly as she pressed on: "But what?"
"Nothing!"
Jin Cheng had a look as if he would die before saying more, and Chen Xixi did not press further.
The next morning, the news of Jin Cheng returning to the country spread all over the internet.
Then below Jin Cheng's hot search was another one: #ZhengHeAbroad#.
[Jin Cheng's return to the country doesn't worry me, after all, it's very safe domestically, but seeing Zheng He go abroad, my heart just strains, with Zheng He's intelligence, can he ever come back once abroad?]
[That's a real embarrassment going international!]
[Mr. Jin is back in the country? Did he finish washing dishes, earn enough money, and now he's back to pose as a rich young master here?]
[It looks like it. Last night he even had dinner with Chen Xixi at a star-rated Western restaurant, it's said that the average cost per person at this restaurant is nearly ten thousand! It seems Jin Cheng made a nice chunk of change while overseas! Must have scrubbed the plates to sparks!]
[Jin Cheng earned so much these past few months, it makes me want to go abroad and wash dishes as well!]
[Did you guys forget the Wan Chen incident? Maybe he really is a genuine rich young master!]
[Who exactly is the young master then? Any sisters who know anything, hurry up and spill the beans!]
No one dared to reveal, those with money, power, and intelligence wouldn't blabber, and those without couldn't access Jin Cheng's identity.
But that didn't stop netizens from shipping relationships.
[Meeting so late for dinner, are the two of them talking things up?]
[Definitely something fishy, if it was a budget-saving variety dinner gathering, it wouldn't be just the two of them!]
"[How about President Zhou? I'm totally shipping President Zhou and Chen Xixi! No, I don't want this!]"
Chen Xixi and Jin Cheng's scandal quickly became a hot search.
But soon it was suppressed by other gossip.
...
Makeup room on set.
Chen Xixi sat in the chair with a serious expression, pondering.
She now strongly suspects that Jin Cheng's uncle could be one of Wan Chen, Xu Nianying, Zhou Jinyuan, Jiang Xingze.
Firstly, judging by Jin Cheng's reaction, she definitely knows this person.
Secondly, he's rich, handsome and probably not very smart.
After all, Jin Cheng isn't very smart.
But among these four people, their minds seem to be fine?
Then, use the process of elimination.
Zhou Jinyuan had already said he has no nephews, so that leaves Wan Chen, Xu Nianying, and Jiang Xingze.
She just texted Jiang Xingze and Wan Chen, and neither of them have nephews.
Now only one suspect remains, Xu Nianying...
She immediately picked up her phone and sent Zhou Jinyuan a message: "Does Xu Nianying have a nephew?"
Zhou Jinyuan replied very quickly: "Yes, why?"
Confirmed, that nephew must be Xu Nianying's!
Chen Xixi: "Nothing important."
Zhou Jinyuan: "Dinner together tonight?"
Chen Xixi: "Not tonight, I have a night scene to shoot, how about tomorrow night."
At night, the entire crew received late night snacks ordered by Chen Xixi, and they all came to thank her.
Some crew members even said: "Who says you're stingy! I can vouch you are not!"
Chen Xixi was stunned.
She didn't order late-night snacks for everyone!
She was even planning not to eat tonight to avoid puffiness the next day.
So strange.
Later she thought it was her agent, trying to foster good relations, who ordered the snacks in her name.
Until she took the meal box back to her van and saw the man sitting inside, then she realized what was going on with the snacks.
Zhou Jinyuan was wearing a properly tailored black suit, his coat casually draped over the seat, the chill from him already dispelled by the car's heating, and he seemed to have been waiting here for her for a while.
Chen Xixi placed the meal box on the table, then took off her white down coat and hung it on the hook by the window, rubbing her slightly chilly hands, she stood next to the table and exclaimed in surprise: "Why didn't you tell me you were coming?"
She had just finished shooting and was chatting with other actors; had she known Zhou Jinyuan was waiting for her, she would have come back sooner.
Zhou Jinyuan took her hand, noticing the coldness, his brow furrowed slightly.
He wrapped her hand: "It was a last-minute decision, I couldn't sleep, so I came to visit this film star."
The warmth from the man's palm slowly transferred to Chen Xixi's hands, the warmth made her eyes smile: "Aren't you going to work tomorrow?"
"Working."
"Aren't you afraid of being late?"
"It's my company."
The car's heater was on, and with Zhou Jinyuan covering her, Chen Xixi's hands weren't cold anymore.
Chen Xixi sat across Zhou Jinyuan, he opened the meal box and pushed it towards her.
Chen Xixi said enviously: "Having your own company is great, you can go to work whenever you like and no one can say anything."
Zhou Jinyuan's lips curved slightly: "Aren't you now also at your own company? If you don't want to work anymore, just come be the boss's wife."
