Having made up their minds, Yun Mingyue and the other two took Lu Zixuan and hurriedly left.

On the other side, as soon as Xiao Jin entered the door, she smelled the aroma of food.

"It smells so good!" Xiao Jin's nose twitched first, and her round eyes lit up instantly.

Seeing her drooling over the restaurant, Yun Zhengbang felt both touched and amused. He took her hand and led her to the restaurant, saying, "Come on, Xiao Jin, let's go eat. Just tell us what you want to eat, and the kitchen will make it for you."

"Wow, you're such a nice person! Xiao Jin likes you!" Xiao Jin was so happy she almost jumped up.

Finally, it's time to eat!

Xiao Jin's favorite thing is eating!

The long table in the restaurant was already laden with dishes: braised pork knuckle, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, sweet and sour pork ribs, mushroom soup, and a whole freshly sliced ​​crispy roast duck, glistening with oil and emitting a wonderful aroma.

Originally, a meal was prepared for five adults, but now only Yun Zhengbang, Yun Ziang, and Xiao Jin remain.

Before Yun Zhengbang could make any arrangements, Xiao Jin had already run to her seat and climbed onto the chair on tiptoe.

She swallowed hard, her eyes fixed intently on Yun Zhengbang, practically etching "Xiao Jin is hungry" onto his face.

Yun Zhengbang chuckled: "Let's eat."

"Uncle Chen, please go and take care of Xiao Jin."

"Okay," Uncle Chen said, and walked towards Xiao Jin.

Before he could even get close, he saw the little dumpling pick up a spoon and start eating rice quickly and without any clumsiness.

He shoveled a spoonful of rice over a piece of braised pork knuckle, stuffing it into his mouth with a loud gulp, his cheeks puffed out like a little hamster hoarding food, chewing earnestly.

Yun Zi'ang used his chopsticks to pick up the crispiest part of the duck skin and put it into the small brocade bowl: "Little aunt, try this. It was made by the chef from Yihelou Restaurant. I dare say it's the best roast duck in all of Beijing!"

"Thank you, great-nephew!" Xiao Jin's eyes lit up even more. She picked up a piece of duck skin, squinted her eyes, and shook her head contentedly. "Delicious! A hundred times better than the vegetarian food from the mountains!"

"What good food can you find on the mountain?" Yun Ziang felt extremely distressed upon hearing this.

How can such a young child eat vegetarian food every day?!

He couldn't help but imagine how miserable his great-aunt must be on the mountain, and immediately made a decision: "Great-aunt, I will definitely find delicious food for you every day!"

We need to feed him meat and fish every day, so that his little auntie will be plump and healthy!

Yun Ziang had completely ignored Xiao Jin's rather round cheeks.

Xiao Jin was enjoying her meal when she heard this, and her eyes crinkled into crescent moons with laughter. "Grand-nephew, Xiao Jin likes you the most!"

Yun Ziang was completely charmed by Xiao Jin's appearance.

Seeing that Xiao Jin had almost finished eating her rice, he said solicitously, "Quickly serve my little aunt some rice."

"!" Xiao Jin's eyes widened, and she asked cautiously, "Xiao Jin, can I have another bowl of rice?"

"Of course!" Yun Zi'ang said decisively, "Little Miss, eat as much as you want!"

Yun Zhengbang smiled kindly, "Xiao Jin, that's enough. Don't overeat."

How much food can a four-year-old eat? He clearly didn't believe his older brother's exaggerated description in the letter.

Xiao Jin cheered, "Xiao Jin loves you all!"

After saying that, she stood on a small chair and tiptoed, and started eating as much as they had told her.

Fifteen minutes later, the atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly changed.

Yun Zhengbang and Yun Ziang stared in shock at Xiao Jin, who was enjoying her meal.

Yun Ziang looked down and calculated that in just a short while, his little aunt had eaten four bowls of rice, half a roast duck, a piece of braised pork knuckle, and a plate of ribs.

This appetite is so large that even an adult man, let alone a four-year-old child, wouldn't eat this much for lunch.

Even someone as clueless as Yun Ziang sensed something was wrong.

"Is this...right?"

"Um..." Uncle Chen, looking worried, couldn't help but speak up, "Children are prone to indigestion if they eat too much, how about... they rest for a while before eating again?"

"Indigestion?" Xiao Jin shook her head, her mouth stuffed full, and mumbled, "No, Xiao Jin isn't even half full yet."

Yun Zhengbang stared in astonishment at the speed at which Xiao Jin ate her rice.

He now finally believes the line in the letter, "She's going to eat up my brother's mountain."

This is not the amount of food a four-year-old should eat!

He was afraid that Xiao Jin's belly would burst.

He tried to dissuade her, but then he saw Xiao Jin with rice grains all over her face, giving him a sweet smile: "Thank you, Zheng Bang!"

Yun Zi'ang chuckled. "Zheng Bang?"

He wondered if he had misheard, but no one had ever dared to call him grandfather like that before!

Xiao Jin blinked, looking confused. "What's wrong?"

She looked at Yun Zhengbang, somewhat at a loss, and gently explained, "My master said that if I like you, I should call you that..."

"Xiao Jin really likes you now."

Her master's original words were: if Xiao Jin likes him, she should call him Zheng Bang; if Xiao Jin doesn't like him, she should call him that old geezer.

Upon hearing this, Yun Zhengbang burst out laughing, "I like Xiao Jin too!"

"Xiao Jin can call me whatever she wants!"

Hearing this, Xiao Jin smiled with relief. She picked up a piece of meat and put it into Yun Zhengbang's bowl, saying, "Here, have some!"

"Okay, okay," Yun Zhengbang replied, then couldn't help but ask, "Do you usually eat like this?"

Xiao Jin shook her head. "Master won't let me eat so much. He's very stingy and only lets me eat a little bit."

She stretched out two short, chubby fingers and gestured exaggeratedly.

Yun Zhengbang felt somewhat ashamed.

Yun Zi'ang quickly asked, "So, little miss, are you full now?"

"No, Xiao Jin isn't even three-tenths full yet!" she replied, adding another piece of meat to her mouth.

Before Xiao Jin even started chewing, they heard Yun Ziang gasp.

"Hiss~"

I'm only a third full. If I eat whatever I want, won't I eat the Yun family out of house and home?

Yun Ziang's face showed a complicated expression. "Little Miss, promise me you will never eat like this in front of outsiders."

He has fully adapted to his position as a family member, as a grand-nephew.

"They'll definitely be arrested and used for research."

Is this even human?

Xiao Jin paused, finally pulling her attention away from the delicious food.

She looked left and right, her eyes darting around as she observed the astonished faces of the crowd, before changing her words:

"Xiao Jin, one more bowl of soup and you'll be full!"

Upon hearing this, Uncle Chen quickly stepped forward and ladled a bowl of soup for Xiao Jin, saying, "Please eat slowly."

Xiao Jin picked up the bowl, which was almost as big as her face, and gulped down the water.

After finishing a bowl of soup, she patted her round belly and let out a satisfied sigh, "Mmm... Xiao Jin, I'm done eating."

It means you've eaten well, not that you're full.

As Xiao Jin spoke, her eyes were fixed on the leftover food on the table, looking as if she hadn't had enough.

Then she thought to herself, with her master not around, she could eat so much delicious food every day!

Xiao Jin laughed. She didn't hate those unlucky guys from the Yun family as much anymore!

On one side, the meal was being eaten with great enthusiasm, while on the other side, there was a deathly silence.

Yun Mingyue led the group back to her home first, took Lu Peng's usual toothbrush, and then headed straight to the appraisal agency.

After submitting the sample, she stayed outside without leaving for a moment, while Lu Zixuan was sent by Yun Ziqian to look at the tablet, completely unaware that a storm was about to break.

Yun Mingyue sat on the bench outside, her tear stains dried, with only a few traces remaining in her slightly red eyes.

She looked haggard and stared blankly at one spot.

"Yueyue, your brother is here."

Yun Mingyuan frowned, his eyes filled with both worry and anger. He reached out and gently patted Yun Mingyue's back, just like when they were children.

"If it's fake, I'll make that kid apologize to you."

If it's true, he'll chop Lu Peng up.

Yun Mingyuan is Yun Zhengbang's eldest son. Logically, he should have a more stable temper. However, Yun Zhengbang was busy with work when he was young and neglected to discipline him. Somehow, he developed a fiery temper.

Now in his fifties, he has a family and three children. He has matured considerably, but the youthful spirit ingrained in his bones remains undiminished.

Yun Mingyue's voice was hoarse, "Brother, is our family really not going to make it?"

First, her second brother was paralyzed in a car accident and became despondent, causing the company to plummet. Then, her father fell ill and was hospitalized. A series of unexpected events left everyone overwhelmed.

"Why aren't the results out yet?"

She felt as if her heart was being burned by fire and fried in oil.

Yun Mingyuan sighed and could only reassure him, "It'll be soon, it'll be soon."

As soon as the words were spoken, medical staff in white coats came out. "Ms. Yun, your test results are in."
