The family spent a relatively harmonious time in the kitchen for quite some time.

The last four dishes were ready: curry beef, steamed lobster and some shellfish, minced meat and tofu, and a pickled radish and old duck soup.

This is quite a feast for three people.

The old duck soup was simmered over low heat for a whole afternoon, resulting in tender meat and an incredibly delicious broth.

As soon as it was served, Zan Zan took a spoon and drank more than half a bowl.

The tofu was cut into long and wide strips and pan-fried until golden brown on both sides. Jinxi also simmered it in a small bowl of duck soup for a few minutes, which gave it a unique flavor.

Zhou Yanqian ate to his heart's content. The food he had eaten before was all very delicate and small, but this kind of home-style cooking was the most to his liking.

Jinxi picked up some tofu for him: "Eat slowly."

After pan-frying the tofu, it was simmered in duck broth for a while. Now, when you bite into it, you can feel the delicious broth filling every pore of the tofu.

Zhou Yanqian muttered, "I've always eaten very slowly."

After saying that, it opened its mouth again, stuffed the tofu into its mouth, chewed and chewed, its cheeks puffed out, like a little hamster.

Jinxi put some seafood on his plate: "Yes, Zanzan eats very diligently."

Zhou Yanqian was about to take a bite of shrimp when he heard Jin Xi's ambiguous words and raised his head again: "Don't talk nonsense!"

Can eating be described as diligent and conscientious?

Jin Xi innocently replied, "No, I didn't say anything wrong."

Zhou Yanqian couldn't argue with her, so he simply stopped talking.

Zhou Linxu looked at Zan Zan's embarrassed expression and, for some reason, felt a little happy.

Finally, someone has managed to keep him in check.

After finishing their delicious meal, Jinxi put the plates in the dishwasher. When the dishwasher came out, the father and son were already huddled together continuing to build their castle.

I've been building this Lego castle pretty fast lately; it's almost halfway done.

Just as Jinxi was about to go over, she heard the doorbell ring outside.

It's almost six o'clock. Who would come over at this hour?

The father and son heard it too, and Zhou Yanqian also raised his head. They usually didn't have anyone come to their house at night.

Jinxi said, "I'll go out and take a look."

Zhou Yanqian also said, "Let me take a look too."

After saying that, he got up and ran away. Zhou Linxu tried to call him back, but it was too late.

This kid, why does he love joining in the fun so much?

Jinxi opened the door and looked outside. Two middle-aged men in suits were standing at the door. When they saw Jinxi open the door, they waved to her with smiles and said, "Little Jin."

Jinxi nodded slightly without showing any emotion, but her mind was racing to match them up.

These look like Zhou Linxu's eldest and youngest uncles.

Just then, Zan Zan strolled over, glanced at him, and asked in confusion, "Great-Grandpa, Uncle?"

It's confirmed that Jinxi is Zhou Linxu's eldest uncle and younger uncle.

When the original owner of this body married Zhou Linxu, she went back to the old house for a family banquet and met him briefly.

What are they doing here all of a sudden?

However, guests are guests, so Jinxi lowered her head and said, "Baby, go tell Daddy that Great-Grandpa and Great-Uncle have come."

Zhou Yanqian responded with an "oh," as he had little affection for these two elders and had rarely seen them.

Hearing Jinxi say this, he obediently went back to the living room.

Jinxi walked over, opened the door, and greeted them generously, "Uncle, Uncle, what brings you here? You didn't even tell me beforehand, so I could have had dinner at home."

Uncle Zhou smiled and said, "Your uncle and I didn't have anything to do. We just happened to be passing by and thought we'd drop by to see you."

Jinxi gestured for them to come in and welcomed them inside.

Meanwhile, Zhou Linxu, who was in the living room, already knew who had come from Zan Zan. His expression was normal as he bowed slightly and said to Zan Zan, "Zan Zan, Da Ju and Da Li's toys are still in the backyard. Go and bring them back."

Zhou Yanqian instantly became alert. Hmm? They wanted to get him away?

He obediently nodded: "Okay."

Zhou Linxu patted his head: "Sweetie, go on."

Zhou Yanqian said "oh" and, under Zhou Linxu's gaze, dragged himself toward the backyard.

No sooner had Zan Zan left than two elders came in.

Uncle Zhou and his younger brother looked at Zhou Linxu sitting in the wheelchair, exchanged a glance, and both thought to themselves, "He's really injured."

Uncle Zhou asked, "Linxu, what exactly happened?"

Uncle Zhou also said, "Yes, Lin Xu, how come you suddenly fell and hurt your leg?"

Zhou Linxu simply said coldly, "Uncle, younger uncle, please sit down."

Then, she said gently to Jinxi, "Xiaoxi, would you please pour them a glass of water?"

Although we've interacted a lot in private, we still need to maintain appearances.

It wasn't a secret in the company that Zhou Linxu had an accident; after all, he had taken a walk around the company after dealing with it today.

The Zhou family had already received the news.

Uncle Zhou said, "Xiao Jin, don't bother, sit down and have a chat."

Jin Xi smiled and said, "You two chat first."

After saying that, she slipped away to the kitchen to find a cup. She hadn't forgotten what Zhou Linxu had told her before: to have less contact with the Zhou family.

Moreover, Uncle Zhou and Uncle Zhou look like scheming people. They appear respectable on the surface, but who knows what they're plotting behind the scenes.

It's better to listen more and talk less.

After Jinxi and Zanzan left the living room, the two asked again, "Linxu, tell me quickly, what exactly happened?"

Zhou Linxu glanced down at his leg, which was in a cast: "It's nothing serious, it'll be fine in a few days."

Uncle Zhou said, "This doesn't look like something that can be cured in just a few days."

Uncle Zhou sighed, "Yes, what will happen to the company after you fell like that? Why don't you have your cousins ​​go back and help you for a couple of days?"

"We can handle it." Zhou Linxu's expression didn't change when he heard this, and he continued, "The company is basically stable now, so they don't need to do anything unnecessary."

Jinxi came out carrying two glasses of water and happened to hear him say that, almost bursting out laughing.

This is unnecessary; Zhou Linxu's words are also quite venomous.

She pursed her lips, walked over and placed the item in front of the two elders, intending to thoughtfully leave the living room to them while she went to play with Zan Zan for a while.

Zhou Linxu, however, took her hand and made her sit down.

Uncle Zhou and his younger brother both looked rather displeased. They hadn't expected Zhou Linxu to be so ruthless, which made the couple quite unhappy.

Especially Uncle Zhou, he hadn't forgotten the time when Zhou Linxu mocked his son in front of him.

The atmosphere was a little awkward at this moment. Jin Xi looked at Zhou Linxu, and Zhou Linxu happened to turn around and look at her as well.

Jin Xi blinked, and Zhou Linxu blinked back.

Jin Xi tilted her head slightly, glanced at the two elders, and Zhou Linxu nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

He slowly looked at the two of them again and said, "Is there anything else?"

Uncle Zhou took a deep breath; this young couple really didn't hide anything from anyone.

He asked in a somber tone, "Have you found any clues about the person who hit you? Do you need us to find someone to help you?"

Uncle Zhou also said, "Yes, your cousins ​​have some connections, why don't you ask them to help you look? That would be faster."

Zhou Linxu simply said, "No need. We've already called the police and have some leads. We'll catch the person soon."

Jinxi, however, sensed something else in his voice.

She glanced at Zhou Linxu sitting in the wheelchair, then simply pursed her lips and said nothing.
