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

Jinxi never expected that simply letting Zanzan drink milk tea out of pity would lead to him uncovering the milk tea's biggest secret!

She groaned twice, and Zhou Yanqian scoffed twice. He wanted to see how Jinxi would explain herself!

Jinxi said, "I didn't know ordering takeout was so cheap!"

Zhou Yanqian: "Haha."

Jinxi forced herself to say, "Mommy didn't know that ordering takeout was so expensive."

Zhou Yanqian: "Haha."

Jinxi leaned back and said, "Then let me ask you, when you go out and need anything, and ask someone for help, do you always have to give them a tip?"

Zhou Yanqian said, "That's true."

Jinxi said, "Then I ordered for you and asked for a tip, isn't that reasonable? I even helped you choose the flavors, and I got you milk tea when you didn't want to take it. So, wouldn't you consider me your assistant?"

Jin Xi turned to look at Zhou Linxu: "Xiao Xu, tell your son, how many figures did you pay Assistant Gao a month?"

Zhou Linxu was playing with Jinxi's hair with his fingers. When he heard Jinxi call him, he silently made a seven with his fingers.

Jin Xi was satisfied: "See? Is my hourly rate cheaper than Assistant Gao's?"

Zhou Yanqian was conflicted. Could it still be calculated this way?

Jinxi pressed her advantage: "At worst, I'll give you a discount in the future."

Zhou Yanqian muttered, "Then why didn't you tell me beforehand?"

Jinxi thought for a moment and said, "Mommy was busy and forgot. I'll definitely do it next time."

Zhou Yanqian reluctantly let Jin Xi go, after all, he felt that what she said made sense.

Zhou Yanqian stuffed another bite of cake into his mouth: "So you kept it from me before, how about giving me a refund?"

"Okay," Jinxi said. "I'll give you ten yuan back, is that alright?"

"..." Zhou Yanqian was surprised by Jin Xi's shamelessness. How could she have the nerve to say ten yuan!

Jinxi said matter-of-factly, "Because they don't honor the terms once you leave the store. I'm only giving you a ten-dollar refund because you're my precious son. I wouldn't give a refund to anyone else. So, do you want it or not?"

Zhou Yanqian felt a little aggrieved: "...Yes."

Even the smallest mosquito is still meat; ten yuan can buy two cups of sweet lemonade.

Jinxi picked up her phone and deftly added ten yuan to his Little Genius account: "Now it's all settled, the money is exchanged, and our account is cleared."

Zhou Yanqian gave a muffled "hmm," took a bite of cake, then turned and hugged her softly, saying, "Could you give me a little more?"

Zhou Linxu, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but raise his hand and flick the back of his head.

Why do I feel like his kid is both smart and not smart?

Seeing this, Jin Xi patted Zhou Linxu's hand and said, "Why did you flick the back of his head?"

Zhou Yanqian looked up pitifully: "Mommy, we have no money left."

Jinxi can't stand people looking like this, let alone Zanzan.

She took out her phone, thought for a moment, and said, "How about this, whatever number you type behind your back, I'll give you that amount, okay?"

Zhou Yanqian agreed immediately because he had seen similar videos before: "Okay, okay."

Zhou Linxu was still a bit confused. He asked, "What do you mean by pressing how many times behind your back?"

Jinxi showed him a video, and Zhou Linxu understood: "Not bad, very fair, it all depends on oneself."

Zhou Yanqian rubbed his hands together, already quite impatient.

Jinxi said, "I'll let you press it three times. How many times is up to you."

Zhou Yanqian nodded: "Okay!"

Whether it's 999 or 998, he still made a profit!

At this moment, Zhou Yanqian had very little trust in Jin Xi. He said, "You can't lie to me."

"I'm not lying to you," Jinxi said. "If you don't believe me, I'll have Dad film it from the side. That's not cheating, is it?"

Zhou Yanqian readily agreed.

Zhou Linxu took out his phone and, after checking it with three parties, carefully pressed the start recording button.

Zhou Yanqian said, "I want to take a look!"

"Okay, I've got it. You can take it as you see fit." Jinxi looked at him. "Whatever you say."

Zhou Yanqian propped his head up and looked at the position of the numbers. He also grabbed Jin Xidu's wrist with one hand to keep her wrist still.

Jinxi couldn't help but say, "You're quite meticulous."

Zhou Yanqian raised his increasingly rounded chin, as if to say, "Of course!"

Of course he had to be careful, because it was about whether his little genius could make a profit!

Zhou Linxu asked, "Is it ready, baby?"

Zhou Yanqian moved his head back: "Okay, okay, don't rush me."

Zhou Linxu silently shut up. So, even just asking a question was going to be met with disdain?

Zhou Yanqian prepared seriously, raised his hand, and cautiously tapped three times.

Jinxi glanced at the numbers and raised her eyebrows slightly.

Zhou Yanqian couldn't understand what her expression meant: "...I want to see."

Opening blind boxes is always nerve-wracking.

Zhou Yanqian was full of confidence just now, but now he's a little discouraged.

Jinxi turned her phone over to show him: ..9?

No, why is there a decimal point?

Jinxi said, "I'll transfer another nine dollars to you."

Zhou Yanqian nestled weakly into her arms: "Let's do it again... I was just testing!"

Zhou Linxu recorded his eldest son's entire display of whining and pouting. He said, "Didn't we just say no cheating? What are you now?"

Zhou Yanqian pursed his lips: "But I'm a child, I can cheat once."

Now it was Zhou Linxu's turn to be serious: "No, even children can't cheat."

Zhou Yanqian turned his head away, pretending not to hear, and said in a pitiful voice, "You all went to see a movie today, but you didn't take me..."

Jinxi, both amused and exasperated, patted his arched bottom and said, "You're cheating."

"Mommy...Mommy..." Zhou Yanqian started using it as a period again.

Jinxi said, "How about this, Daddy can play with his phone too?"

Zhou Yanqian immediately propped his head up: "Okay, I'll take the nine yuan too."

Why are you eating and taking things away at the same time?

Zan Zan really went to great lengths for a little pocket money!

But it turned out that he was really lucky the second time. He ordered 90 yuan, and with the 9 yuan from before, Jinxi rounded it up to 100 yuan.

Zhou Yanqian looked down at his little genius. With this hundred yuan added in, his savings were now a four-figure sum!

I need to be more careful with money in the future, and I should check the prices myself for everything!

To avoid falling into a tipping trap again!

The exorbitant milk tea incident has come to an end, and Zhou Yanqian is happily eating his little cake again. All his tiredness and sleepiness have vanished after spending a hundred yuan.

Zhou Linxu couldn't help himself and whispered in Jin Xi's ear, "How can he be so easily fooled?"

Jinxi lightly patted his hand resting on her thigh: "He's just happy. Don't talk nonsense, or he'll get angry again."

Zhou Linxu wasn't angry when he was photographed; instead, he casually kneaded her thigh.

It seems to be "retaliation" for Jinxi's act of slapping herself.

Jinxi patted the back of his hand again, signaling him not to touch her.

Zhou Linxu mimicked Zan Zan's manner and hummed in agreement, then pinched him again.

He just wanted to pinch her. What's wrong with him pinching his own girlfriend?

Hearing the noise behind him, Zhou Yanqian turned around and saw his father looking at him with a gentle and tender expression.

Ugh, I'm not used to this weird, effeminate expression.

Zhou Yanqian shuddered, then turned back to enjoy his little cake.

After dinner, Jinxi gestured to Zhou Linxu.

Zhou Linxu then turned and called to his eldest son, who was playing on his phone at the tea break: "Baby, come here."

Zhou Yanqian, who had been slumped on the sofa, slumped back down when he heard his father call him. He picked up his phone and went over to ask, "What do you want?"

"You go with Dad to pay the bill," Zhou Linxu said. "I saw the front desk was giving away toys for kids, would you like to go check it out?"

Zhou Yanqian had no interest in these things, but since his father had already stood up, he had no choice but to put down Jinxidu's phone, take his hand, and walk outside.

After walking a few steps, he asked, "Dad, can't we ask them to come to the private room to pay the bill?"

If he remembered correctly, all he had to do was press the bell, and the waiter would come with the order.

Zhou Linxu said, "Dad wants to take a few steps."

"Oh." Zhou Yanqian pouted. He wanted to take a few steps, so why did he have to ask him to come along? He didn't want to take a few steps!

Before leaving, Zhou Linxu closed the door to the private room.

Yang Hongyan glanced at the closed door of the private room, then asked, "Xiao Xi, is there something you want to say to us?"

Jin Dahai also looked up at her.

Jinxi blinked: "Huh? Is it that obvious?"

She's still figuring out how to bring it up!
