Transmigrated into a wealthy family's stepmother, I raised the villain into a sweet child.
Chapter 171 Insignificant Matters
After Zhou Linxu finished eating, Jinxi was about to leave with Zanzan.
"You rest for a while, Zanzan and I are leaving now," Jinxi said. "We still need to take him to kindergarten to pick up his schoolbag this afternoon."
Zhou Linxu said, "Okay, I'll see you downstairs."
Jinxi felt it wasn't necessary, but Zhou Linxu had already picked up the bag containing the lunchbox. She glanced at it and swallowed her words.
Zhou Linxu stretched out his other hand in front of Zanzan: "Daddy will hold your hand."
For the sake of that hundred yuan, Zhou Yanqian still placed his hand in Zhou Linxu's palm and followed him toward the elevator.
Many people have already finished their lunch and returned for a nap, only to be greeted by their bosses leading their children and carrying bags.
They were all stunned for a moment. Was their boss really such a husband in private? Their sharp edges softened a bit.
Jin Xi and Zhou Linxu stood side by side. She quickly turned around and glanced at them before saying, "Everyone seems quite surprised to see you like this."
Zhou Linxu pressed the down elevator button: "What's so surprising?"
"This is probably the first time I've seen you like this," Jinxi said. "I guess I'm used to seeing you as a big boss, a high-level elite."
Zhou Linxu looked down at himself; he seemed to accept it well.
My gaze shifted to Zan Zan, who was now holding my hand and standing obediently in front of the elevator, occasionally tugging at my clothes to tidy my appearance.
Zhou Linxu curled the corners of his lips before replying, "Well, things are pretty good now. Having some approachability means they won't be intimidated by me."
The elevator opened with a ding, and the family of three stepped inside.
Zhou Linxu seemed to remember something. He glanced at Zan Zan and, after noticing him looking in the mirror, said to Jin Xi, "Jin Chen was supposed to come see me today, but I don't know why he didn't come."
"Is the Jin family in complete chaos right now?" Jin Xi said, "After I left yesterday, I sent the address to You Qing, but I don't know if she'll go looking for it this time."
Zhou Linxu asked, "Do you need me to find someone to give you a push?"
Jin Xi smiled and said, "No need, no need. It's like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut for such a small matter."
Now, not only is the company in a mess, but the family is also in a mess.
Last night before going to bed, Lu Xin called her, basically saying that she would have a private investigator keep a close eye on them and let her know if anything happened.
After saying that yesterday, Jinxi did not want to have anything to do with the Jin family, but she was just watching the drama unfold and wanted things to get even hotter.
Looking at her beaming face, Zhou Linxu felt a rare curiosity. How could she be so happy every day, no matter what she encountered?
Zhou Yanqian was about to look up and talk to them when he suddenly saw his father staring intently at Jin Xi, seemingly oblivious to what he was looking at.
He clicked his tongue inwardly, and finally turned to look in the mirror again.
Forget it, it's more fun to brag to myself in the mirror.
The elevator quickly arrived at the first floor. Zhou Linxu escorted them to Xiao Lü's side. Zan Zan had already put on gloves with practiced ease, slung his bag across his neck, and held it tightly with both hands, practically fully armed.
Zhou Linxu praised, "You're really an independent kid now."
Zhou Yanqian said, "I've always been an independent person!"
Even if he doesn't know something, he can learn it after just one look!
"That's great," Zhou Linxu said. "When you go to kindergarten later, you have to listen to Xiaoxi, okay?"
There was no way to avoid kindergarten, so Zhou Yanqian replied listlessly, "Okay—"
They were filled with resentment.
Jinxi scratched his chin: "We're leaving now, baby. Say goodbye to Daddy."
Zhou Yanqian gave a weak "oh" and said, "Goodbye—"
He's going to that noisy kindergarten to pick up his schoolbag.
Jinxi also said, "Then we'll head back first. See you at home."
"Ride slowly," Zhou Linxu said. "Be careful, see you tonight."
Zhou Linxu also scratched Zanzan's chin, just like Jin Xi did: "Good boy."
Just then, a car drove up and looked like it was going to park in front of the company.
Jinxi glanced at it, turned the handle, and left from the other side.
Zhou Linxu stood there, watching Jinxi and Zanzan disappear from sight before slowly turning his gaze away.
He glanced at the car parked not far away, frowned slightly, and then the car door was opened, and the person inside got out.
The man called out, "Lin Xu."
Zhou Linxu nodded indifferently: "Uncle."
Uncle Zhou chuckled and sighed, "I didn't see very clearly from the car just now. Was that Zan Zan?"
Zhou Linxu hummed in response and turned slightly toward the company, seemingly not wanting to have much more to say to his uncle.
Uncle Zhou wasn't annoyed by his attitude. He stayed by his side and continued, "Then who's taking care of him? Your newly hired nanny? That's so unreliable! How can we let our Zhou family's child ride in such a dangerous car!"
Zhou Linxu asked with a forced smile, "What kind of car does Uncle think he should ride in?"
Uncle Zhou immediately said, "I'll go to the garage and pick one out. I'll have someone drive it to your place tomorrow. Consider it a token of my appreciation as your great-uncle."
Zhou Linxu didn't reply, but pressed the elevator button: "What did my uncle want to see me about today?"
"I came to see you because I did hear some things." Uncle Zhou looked around to make sure there was nothing wrong before saying, "I heard this morning that your wife caused a huge scene at Jin's house yesterday, and even made her mother so angry that she had to go to the hospital."
Zhou Linxu's gaze was fixed on the elevator's digital display. After hearing his uncle's words, his thin lips pursed slightly, but quickly relaxed as he asked, "And then?"
Looking at his expression, Uncle Zhou wondered what Zhou Linxu's attitude was towards this matter.
But thinking about what he had learned last night, he said, "This Jin family is truly a case of the upper beam being crooked and the lower beam crooked too. Both the father and son are cheating. Linxu, sometimes it's not just me being sarcastic; with a family atmosphere like this, you'd better watch out for the woman you married!"
Zhou Linxu chuckled softly, but his words were devoid of warmth: "Is that so?"
"Yes! This is no exaggeration!" Uncle Zhou said, "Linxu, you're such a busy person, you can't let trivial matters waste your time!"
As they were talking, the elevator arrived.
As Zhou Linxu walked out, he said, "My uncle is right. I can't let some trivial matters waste my time."
Uncle Zhou smiled slightly: "Oh dear, but you really like it..."
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Zhou Linxu call over Assistant Gao.
Zhou Linxu stated bluntly, "Print out the email I received last week and give it to Mr. Zhou."
Goldman Sachs nodded: "Okay, two minutes."
Zhou Linxu hummed in agreement, then turned his head and said, "Uncle, I hope you remember what you just said."
Uncle Zhou was a little confused, not understanding what Zhou Linxu was going to do.
But Zhou Linxu had already started walking towards his office. Zhou's uncle wanted to follow, but was stopped by Secretary Wen: "Chairman Zhou, Mr. Zhou is busy right now and it is not convenient for him to receive guests."
Uncle Zhou looked rather grim, but soon Goldman Sachs arrived with some things.
After handing the items to Uncle Zhou, Gao Sheng said, "Chairman Zhou, President Zhou instructed that if any trivial matter takes up his time again, he is willing to take half a day to go back to the old house to distribute these photos."
Uncle Zhou looked down in confusion, and his expression changed drastically after he saw it clearly. He immediately crumpled the A4 paper into a ball.
It was printed with indecent photos of his son and different people!
Uncle Zhou glanced at Assistant Gao and Secretary Wen in front of him and instantly understood that Zhou Linxu was supporting the adopted daughter of the Jin family.
For the sake of an outsider, she actually printed out her cousin's photo so brazenly!
He's completely disregarded family ties for the sake of a woman.
Uncle Zhou left, clutching the A4 paper, his face ashen.
