Transmigrated into a wealthy family's stepmother, I raised the villain into a sweet child.
Chapter 258 A Smile Is Better
Zhou Linxu looked at the neatly arranged gifts that had been delivered to his door.
These things were prepared after Xiaoxi told him about them yesterday. If it weren't for waiting for those few bottles of wine, he could have arrived an hour earlier.
Zhou Linxu said gently, "This is my first visit, and I didn't bring many gifts. I hope Mom and Dad won't mind."
Yang Hongyan said, "I don't mind at all. You brought so many things; it was too much of a expense for you."
Zhou Linxu simply smiled. However, he had a lot to say when dealing with business partners or subordinates.
But now he was facing Jinxi's parents, and he really didn't know what to say.
I messaged Secretary Wen this morning, and she said that the more you say, the more mistakes you make. I don't know what to do, so I'll just smile.
At this moment, Zhou Linxu could only smile.
Fortunately, Yang Hongyan asked him again: "How many people are in your family? What do you do for a living? How old are you?"
Jinxi was vague about this, and they couldn't find anything by searching online. They only found that her family was well-off, but they couldn't find anything specific.
Zhou Linxu said, "I am twenty-eight years old this year. My parents divorced a long time ago. My mother has moved abroad and is not coming back. She is currently the president of Zhou's Group and holds 67% of the shares in Zhou's Group. In addition to Zhou's Group, I also have some small companies under my name."
"Zhou Group?" Yang Hongyan looked at Jin Dahai again, and Jin Dahai said, "Doesn't Old Sun's daughter on the sixth floor work at this company? Old Sun came to give us wedding candy a few days ago."
I searched yesterday but couldn't find anything. I originally thought it was just an ordinary manager or something, but I never expected that their son-in-law would actually be the president and boss of the Zhou Group!
They had prepared themselves mentally, but not to this extent.
Moreover, Zhou Linxu is so powerful, can his precious child keep him in check?
Moreover, they had heard that the circles of the wealthy were very chaotic and their methods were ruthless, and ordinary people like them had no ability to fight back when they were bullied.
Zhou Linxu naturally didn't miss the expressions between the two people; he was somewhat confused at the moment.
Because they didn't look happy; instead, they seemed to have a vague sense of resistance.
He couldn't quite figure out why.
Fortunately, Zan Zan came out after changing his clothes, and Zhou Linxu just threw him a T-shirt and jeans. Now that he's wearing them, he can move around much more freely.
Zhou Yanqian was originally jumping around, but when he saw that all three of them were looking at him, he couldn't help but become "reserved" and walked more seriously.
He walked over to the sofa. One of the kids remained very calm, sat back down on his little stool, pressed the remote control, and continued peeling garlic, but his ears were perked up, curious about what they were talking about.
Why does the atmosphere feel so strange?
However, with Zan Zan here, Yang Hongyan and Jin Dahai couldn't say much.
Jin Dahai then asked, "Where's your dad? What's he doing?"
Zhou Linxu said, "He's retired and doesn't keep in touch with me much anymore. Xiaoxi and I are the ones running the household now."
Jin Dahai said, "That's good. Do you have any other brothers or sisters?"
Zhou Linxu blinked lightly. He glanced at Zan Zan subconsciously, and was about to answer when Jin Xi came out of the second bedroom.
Butler Zhao prepared a long dress for her, with a slightly fitted black T-shirt on top and a moon-white satin skirt. It was simple, yet it perfectly complemented Jinxi's temperament.
As Jinxi came out, she was tying her belt around her waist. When she looked up, all four of them were staring at her.
Jinxi asked in confusion, "Why are you all looking at me?"
Until she received Zhou Linxu's pleading look, she blinked. It was just a change of clothes, what was going on?
She casually tied her tie, walked over, and asked, "What are you talking about?"
Jin Dahai said, "Ask Xiao Zhou if he has any brothers or sisters."
Jinxi said "Oh," and unconsciously glanced at Zanzan before asking, "Dad, what are you cooking in the pot? I can smell something."
Jin Dahai exclaimed "Oh dear!" and immediately got up: "The soup's simmering! I'll go check on it, but I don't smell any burning!"
Yang Hongyan also said, "Turn the fire down a bit."
While her parents were talking, Jinxi turned around and glanced at Zhou Linxu, giving him a meaningful look. Zhou Linxu nodded.
Jinxi went to check on Zanzan again: "Baby, how's peeling the garlic going?"
Zhou Yanqian replied, "There's one more."
Jinxi said, "Don't peel it yet. Grandpa just went to the kitchen. Ask him to give you the watermelon, or the durian will do."
Zhou Yanqian said, "It's not frozen yet!"
He loves to eat ice-cold watermelon! And ice-cold durian!
"It's ready, it's ready!" Jinxi urged. "Go quickly."
Zhou Yanqian reluctantly went to the kitchen, and Jin Xi then said to Zhou Linxu, "Go see if there's anything my dad can do to help."
Zhou Linxu nodded and took off his suit jacket.
Jinxi couldn't help but say, "Aren't you hot?"
Zhou Linxu looked down and said, "It's alright."
It's been raining these past two days, so the temperature is quite low. Plus, there's air conditioning everywhere, so it's not hot at all.
Jinxi said, "Go quickly."
Zhou Linxu nodded and rolled up his sleeves as he walked toward the kitchen.
Jinxi then said to Yang Hongyan, "He had an older brother who passed away in an accident a few years ago, so let's not ask about that."
Yang Hongyan exclaimed in surprise, "He left us at such a young age!"
Jinxi nodded: "Yeah, it was an accident, you never know. He's been pretty good to me, and he basically listens to me at home."
Yang Hongyan sat closer and tapped her forehead: "You, your father and I haven't even exchanged two words yet, and you're already protecting her."
Jinxi smiled without saying a word, while Yang Hongyan said, "His family is so well-off, your father and I are just worried that he might bully you."
"Don't worry, Mom." Jinxi leaned on her shoulder. "He's really a good guy. You'll get to know him better as you spend more time with him. If he weren't good, your daughter wouldn't like him either."
The main thing is that I get two million a month plus some bonuses and gifts, and I can do what I like. It's simply wonderful.
However, Yang Hongyan couldn't say these things; if she did, the family would be in an uproar.
The only problem now is what happens when we get divorced...
Jinxi pursed her lips, thinking that it might be difficult to explain if they got divorced.
Yang Hongyan glanced back at the kitchen, where the glass door was now closed, and Zhou Linxu was standing in front of the sink, helping Jin Dahai wash vegetables.
Although it was clear that she was a little inexperienced, she still tried her best to help.
She sighed, "Forget it, you're all grown up now. If you like it, that's fine. Don't let him go help anymore. He looks like he's never lifted a finger. Let him come back and sit down for a chat."
"Let him go help Dad," Jinxi said with a grin. "Right, honey?"
Zhou Yanqian was just coming back with the fruit slices. The watermelon had been chilled for half an hour and was already quite cold.
He heard Jinxi speak and nodded: "Yes."
Actually, he didn't quite understand what it meant, but he agreed anyway.
He placed the watermelon on the coffee table, and Jinxi beckoned, "Come here, little chick Zan."
Zhou Yanqian had just eaten a slice of watermelon when he heard Jinxi call him, so he moved closer to her.
Yang Hongyan asked in confusion, "What chicks?"
Jinxi laughed heartily: "I smelled a chick on him this morning."
Zhou Yanqian, who had been pressed against her leg, immediately walked away upon hearing Jin Xi's words.
Haha, you're the one who smells like chicken!
