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

Upon hearing this, Uncle Zhou laughed and said, "It's good to have a clue. I'm just afraid that, like before, something happened and we couldn't find the person."

Uncle Zhou chimed in, "Judging by the time, hasn't it been almost a year?"

Uncle Zhou hummed in agreement: "Soon."

Jinxi was a little confused. Did they mean that something similar had happened before?

However, now was clearly not a good time to ask questions, so she listened quietly.

The two of them were actually talking back and forth about the same thing: asking Zhou Linxu to arrange for his relatives to return to the company.

Zhou Linxu said indifferently, "I have a lot to do today, so I won't see my uncle and younger uncle off."

Uncle Zhou and his younger brother wanted to say a few more words, but Jinxi immediately interjected, "Linxu, your leg is not in good condition, let me see you to the door."

Jinxi stood up and smiled, "Uncle, younger uncle, please."

The couple kept talking in one sentence after another, and before Uncle Zhou and his younger brother could react, they had already been "invited" out.

Even if I wanted to speak again, it's not appropriate to say anything now.

They had no choice but to stand up, and Jinxi invited them to the front door.

Jinxi said, "Uncle and younger uncle, please take care. I'll see you off here."

Uncle Zhou wanted to say something, but Uncle Zhou stopped him. After all, Jinxi was an outsider, and there was no point in saying anything more.

Uncle Zhou said kindly, "Xiao Jin, I'm sorry to have bothered you today. Another day, I'll have Lin Xu take you and Zan Zan back to the old house, and we'll have a family feast together."

Jinxi said, "Definitely, definitely."

She watched the two people get into the car, smiled as she saw them off, and then closed the door and returned to the living room.

Zhou Linxu had already continued assembling the castle. Jin Xi walked over and asked, "Where's Zan Zan?"

She hadn't seen the baby.

Zhou Linxu said, "I let him go play in the backyard."

Jinxi said "Oh," and was about to call Zanzan back, but then she remembered something, stopped, and sat back down on the sofa.

She hesitated for a few seconds, then finally asked directly, "They mentioned something that happened before. Has something like this occurred before?"

Zhou Linxu pinched the building blocks between his fingers and softly hummed in agreement.

He didn't intend to hide it from Jinxi, and told her about the car accident he and Zanzan had before.

Jinxi opened her mouth: "This too..."

She didn't know what to say.

Seeing her surprised expression, Zhou Linxu put down the building blocks and continued, "After Grandpa passed away, there has been constant infighting within the company. I hold 48% of the original shares, as well as some acquired shares. They can't compete with me, so they have to think of other ways."

"If something happens to me, they'll divide up all my shares. Awesome..."

Zhou Linxu didn't continue, but both of them knew very well that if something happened to Zhou Linxu, praising a four-year-old child would be completely irrelevant.

Jin Xi pursed her lips: "They did this one too, right?"

Zhou Linxu curled the corners of his lips into a smile, but it lacked warmth: "You noticed it too."

Only they knew what happened to Zhou Linxu that morning. There were hardly any people in the underground parking lot at that time. After the accident, Uncle Li and Gao Sheng drove Zhou Linxu to the hospital without waiting for an ambulance or going to their usual hospital.

In other words, only Uncle Li, Goldman Sachs, and Jin Xi knew the truth about Zhou Linxu's car accident that morning.

When asked, the standard reply is always that it was an accidental fall.

But Uncle Zhou and his younger brother seemed to know the inside story very well.

"There's always so much trouble in wealthy families," Jin Xi couldn't help but click her tongue.

"When the old man was alive, we could barely keep things under control. But in the time leading up to his passing, we had been locked in a long-standing, open and covert struggle." Zhou Linxu took a slow, deep breath and turned to look at Jin Xi. "Only those who can be ruthless can stand firm."

The Zhou family's harmony is only superficial; even if you walk past them cautiously, you'll still get covered in mud.

Jin Xi said, "That's fine too. After all, kind people are often taken advantage of, aren't they?"

Zhou Linxu chuckled softly: "I thought you would say something to comfort me."

"I was going to say a few words of comfort to you," Jinxi couldn't help but laugh, "but then I felt it wasn't necessary. You're not Zan Zan, so I don't need to say sweet words to coax you. So, heartless President Zhou, what are you planning to do?"

"Of course, we'll fold them one by one," Zhou Linxu said. "I have a plan in mind."

He lowered his eyes, picked up another building block, and said in a rare, bitter tone, "Xiao Xi, if I ever fail, I hope you can leave with Zan Zan."

Jinxi's heart sank. She looked at Zhou Linxu and felt a pang of sadness upon hearing his words.

She said earnestly, "You won't fail."

This time it was Zhou Linxu's turn to tilt his head: "So confident in me, huh?"

"Yes," Jinxi said with a smile, "President Zhou, I'm still waiting for you to give me my bonus."

Suddenly she realized that the novel wasn't so bad after all; at least it had a victorious ending, which she knew in advance.

The atmosphere between the two had noticeably improved, and Zhou Linxu said, "Don't worry, if it really comes to that, I'll make arrangements for both you and Zanzan."

"Okay." Jinxi's eyes crinkled into a smile. "I feel perfectly at ease now!"

"Oh, right, and Jin Yun too." Zhou Linxu seemed to just remember. "I've already asked Secretary Wen to handle it."

Jinxi hummed in agreement: "What?"

"A soft ban," Zhou Linxu said. "She won't be able to cause any more trouble in the future."

He had arranged this matter a long time ago, but he was too busy and forgot about it for a while. He remembered it again after seeing Uncle Zhou and Uncle Zhou today.

Jinxi said, "Okay, thank you. I get annoyed just looking at them."

Zhou Linxu asked, "Have you thought about finding your biological parents? If you would, I can have Goldman Sachs arrange it."

Are you looking for the original owner's biological parents?

Jinxi never imagined that the novel wouldn't include any scenes with the original owner's biological parents, and since the original owner didn't look for them, she didn't plan to either.

Moreover, she has her own parents, although they have left her, but Jinxi doesn't want to have new parents anymore.

She shook her head: "No, I'm very satisfied with my life now. We'll talk about the future later."

Zhou Linxu: "Okay."

Behind the tall bonsai tree at the corner, Zhou Yanqian quietly returned to the backyard while they weren't paying attention.

Daju and Dali are playing in the backyard right now, fighting over a small toy that they chose from their own collection of toys.

This little toy seems to have been brought back to him by Zhou Linxu from a business trip. It's been a long time, but he hasn't played with it much, so it's been sitting idle. He suddenly found it a few days ago and gave it to Daju and Dali to play with.

He stared blankly at the little doll being fought over, his mind a jumbled mess.

I always feel like I should be thinking about something, but right now, I don't want to think about anything at all.
