Transmigrated into a wealthy family's stepmother, I raised the villain into a sweet child.

Jinxi chuckled as she thought about it.

The one who suffered was Zan Zan, who was in his arms.

Zhou Yanqian's face scrunched up like a bun. He was reading the booklet when Jin Xi suddenly grabbed his head and pinched his chin and cheeks.

He wanted to say something but couldn't open his mouth!

Finally, he raised his hand, pulled Jinxi's hand away, and let her hug his waist, thus freeing his poor chin.

Jinxi also said, "I've ordered a courtyard renovation plan from the designer, and I've also picked out the plants. The shop will be delivering them over the next few days."

"Okay." Zhou Linxu nodded. "I'm glad you and Zanzan like it."

Jinxi added, "There's also the matter of shops. I've already started working on the martial arts interest class. As for the remaining shops, I plan to look into them further and try to finalize them within the first half of this year, and then start the renovations."

"it is good."

Jinxi looked at him and asked, "What if I lose money?"

"I can afford to lose," Zhou Linxu said. "There's no such thing as a sure-fire way to make money in this world, so just relax."

Jinxi thinks Zhou Linxu is particularly great in this respect; it gives the feeling that no matter what she does, someone will always be there to cover for her.

"Okay, then I'll do it without worry." Jinxi happily rubbed Zanzan's little face: "Zanzan likes barbecue so much, so I'll open a barbecue restaurant for you and let you be the manager."

Zhou Yanqian felt like his head was about to be flattened, and he managed to say with difficulty, "Let...let go of me!"

Jinxi exclaimed, "Wow! Why is the baby talking in such a cute way?"

Zhou Yanqian: ...

Aaaaaah!!! Tonight I'm going to put a burlap sack over Jinxi!!!

Jin Xi laughed heartily. Zhou Yanqian didn't want to talk to her anymore and shrank off her lap. If he talked to her again within the next hour, he would be a dog!

Zan Zan, all fluffy, walked away, and Jin Xi turned to look at him, laughing.

Zhou Linxu watched this scene with a hint of a smile in his eyes, but he also reflected on it and realized that it was no wonder Zan Zan didn't like talking to him.

Compared to Jin Xi, it seems only natural that he is disliked.

Zan Zan ran off to watch cartoons, and Jin Xi turned back and said, "Oh, right, I have some gossip, do you want to hear it?"

Zhou Linxu hummed in response: "What?"

Jin Xi said, "Jin Chen cheated on me, and it seems Lu Xin already knows."

It was difficult to discuss this while Zan Zan was around, so Jin Xi didn't say anything at noon. Now that Zan Zan has gone to watch cartoons, they can finally chat about it.

Zhou Linxu picked up the last dumpling: "When did this happen?"

"Today, Zan Zan and I ran into Lu Xin and Yuan Yuan at the flower and bird market. I noticed that she looked very haggard..." Jin Xi briefly recounted what happened at noon.

Zhou Linxu listened attentively, and seeing Jinxi speaking with great enthusiasm, he poured her a cup of tea and placed it beside her, occasionally adding a word of encouragement.

Finally, he put the last dumpling into his mouth, and Jinxi finished speaking.

Zhou Linxu said, "The Lu family is involved in many of Jin family's projects, and Lu Xin is also an excellent manager. If they divorce, it will be a huge blow to the Jin family."

Jin Xi gulped down a glass of water. Hearing Zhou Linxu say this, she simply said, "Then we can only say they deserved it. I don't believe anyone else doesn't know about Jin Chen's situation."

"It's happened, and it'll be revealed soon. I'll have someone keep an eye on it." Zhou Linxu didn't ask her why she was suddenly so resistant to the Jin family. He paused for a moment and continued, "I'll let you know what happens next."

"Okay." Jinxi also wanted to know what would happen next. She had already blocked all the Jin family members, so they couldn't find her anymore.

She did have Lu Xin's contact information, but she didn't feel comfortable asking Lu Xin about such gossip.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Linxu was so helpful that he offered to help her find out some gossip.

That's spot on! Absolutely spot on!

Zhou Yanqian was sitting on the sofa, having already finished watching an episode of an animated film. He turned his head and saw Jin Xi and Zhou Linxu chatting happily about something.

He pursed his lips, picked up the remote and changed the channel. He didn't even ask him to listen. Is there anything he can't hear?

Just a second later, he was drawn to the cartoon on TV.

Garlic Bird wasn't that interested in what the two people said or who the crickets were talking about.

Actually, animated films are quite good.

After Zhou Linxu finished eating the dumplings, he put the empty bowl back in the dishwasher in the kitchen. Jin Xi got up from the dining table and walked to the sofa to take a look.

Zan Zan was lying on the sofa in a "short strip" at the moment. When she saw Jin Xi come, she just gave her a haughty look and didn't move.

Jinxi ignored him and said, "I'm going upstairs. If you need anything, ask your dad."

Zhou Yanqian asked, "Aren't you going to take me out to play?"

After meals, Jinxi usually takes him out for a walk, but they haven't had a chance to go out yet today.

"I just asked you if you wanted to go out, and you said you weren't going out, right?" Jinxi pulled her legs back and crossed her arms. "How come your face changes so quickly, more unpredictable than the weather?"

Zhou Yanqian got up from the sofa and said, "So what! I want to go out and play now."

He was just keeping Da Huang and Xiao Huang company. Now that Da Huang and Xiao Huang are resting, he has nothing else to do and can't sleep, so of course he wants to go out and play. He can ride his bicycle and enjoy the breeze.

"Alright, alright," Jinxi said. "Go tell your dad and ask him if he's going or not."

Zhou Yanqian started to act coy again: "...Go ahead."

"I'm not going. It wasn't my idea to go for a walk anyway." Jinxi said, "Baby, today Xiaoxi will teach you a lesson: do things for yourself."

Zhou Yanqian scoffed. He had done all the work himself!

Just then, Zhou Linxu came out of the kitchen after putting down the bowls, and the two men's eyes immediately locked onto him.

Zhou Linxu let out a puzzled sigh, then asked, "What's wrong? Why are you all looking at me like that?"

Jinxi raised her chin at Zanzan and said, "Your son has something to say."

Then he said to Zan Zan, "Come on, tell your dad, a good child is one who is open and generous!"

Zhou Linxu looked at Zan Zan and said gently, "Speak, Zan Zan."

Jinxi corrected him, saying, "No, Mr. Zhou, please call him a good boy at this time."

Zhou Linxu chuckled lightly, and actually played along with Jin Xi's words, changing his tone again: "Good child, speak."

He opened his mouth, but finally, under their gazes, replied, "Are you going for a walk?"

Jin Xiwu exclaimed, "Well said!"

Zhou Linxu also clapped his hands: "Well said!"

Zhou Yanqian: ...

I just went out for a walk! These two are acting like they've discussed something of utmost importance!

He couldn't help but think that the two of them were a perfect match!
