Chapter 373: Jinshu Is Her Elder Cousin!
[371]
Jinshu!
Chi Youyou followed the middle-aged man’s gaze and saw a tall man wearing black sunglasses getting out of the car.
It was none other than Jinshu, whom she had filmed a variety show with a few days ago!
So Jinshu is his cousin?
(꒪Д꒪)ノ
"I presume you’ve recognized who I am? Can you get in the car now?"
Cheng Shujin was a bit irritable. He was undoubtedly a visuals-oriented person, and this little cousin was indeed very good-looking.
But as soon as he thought about her identity, he felt resistance in his heart.
Apparently, back then, their aunt had abandoned the entire Cheng Family for that man, only for the whole family to end up cramped in some impoverished backwater.
Tsk tsk tsk, he got the creeps just thinking about that dirty and shabby countryside.
And now, they’re supposed to bring this kid born in the countryside to split the family inheritance, it’s just too distasteful!
(Directly ignoring that it was the grandfather’s order.)
But once confronted with Chi Youyou’s pretty face, he couldn’t help but soften a bit; the man’s issues seemed unrelated to their younger generation.
"Miss Chi, the young master is a public figure and it’s inconvenient for him to be outside for long, so please get in the car first. Rest assured, the car won’t drive away, I’ll wait outside while you discuss matters."
The middle-aged man’s attitude did a complete 360-degree turn.
Chi Youyou snapped out of it and pursed her lips, "Sorry, my brother is about to finish school. If you don’t mind, can you wait a moment for me?"
She glanced at the time; there were only five minutes until Chi Zaozao’s school let out. Though she could call Uncle Wang to pick him up and then get her later, she felt their sudden behavior today was too abrupt.
She felt very uncomfortable.
Even if the visitor was Jinshu.
She had spent a day with Jinshu on the variety show and hadn’t felt that he was arrogant or had any celebrity airs.
But now it seemed he was completely different from what she had seen that day.
A bit disrespectful.
"Miss Chi, the young master has an engagement..."
"Then perhaps another day. I’m really sorry, today is too sudden."
Chi Youyou politely interrupted him.
He has an engagement, and I have to pick up my brother!
What if I’m late and Chi Zaozao gets kidnapped?
Jinshu stood by the car door, luckily there weren’t many people coming and going on this road, so it didn’t cause too much commotion.
"How long will it take?"
Jinshu glanced at Chi Youyou, who looked apologetic. He wanted to storm off, but when he saw those beautiful big eyes, his anger dissipated.
He truly was!
"Young master, you have to attend a charity event in an hour, but you need to change first as well..."
"Ten minutes, I’ll go to the school gate to pick up my brother now."
"Get in the car, let’s drive directly to your brother’s school; it’s more time-efficient."
Their conversation completely ignored the middle-aged man. After saying this, Jinshu immediately got into the car.
Chi Youyou raised an eyebrow, it wasn’t as she expected.
She thought Jinshu would just get in the car and leave, but he actually wanted to take her to pick up her brother?
"Miss Chi, please get in the car, and by the way, you can’t take photos when you’re with the young master."
After Jinshu got in the car, the middle-aged man resumed his cold and disdainful expression, with a hint of warning in his last sentence.
He had seen so many girls like her, clearly shocked to see the young master just now, but ended up putting on airs?
It was obviously fake!
Chi Youyou didn’t know about his inner thoughts, but if she did, she would surely tell him, I am indeed putting on airs, thank you very much!
Can’t take photos?
Who cares!
She even had an autographed photo!
Chi Youyou raised her eyebrows slightly upon hearing this, then got into the car.
Jinshu regretted it a bit after getting in the car, why did he agree to her request!
However, seeing her get in the car, he sighed inwardly.
Never mind, no matter how much he disliked it, she was his aunt’s daughter. On account of his aunt, he’d let it go!
But in the coming days, he’d definitely investigate and give her and her brother a good shake-down. The grandfather was old and missed his aunt, he could understand that, but as for those two cousins and the so-called uncle, he certainly would not acknowledge them!
"You..."
"Please stop at this intersection."
Cheng Shujin: ...
Just as he was about to speak, Chi Youyou interrupted, pointing to this intersection to the driver.
"Ahead is the kindergarten, there are a lot of people there just after school, it’s inconvenient for cars to go over."
It’s only been two minutes since they got in the car!
Cheng Shujin squinted his eyes behind his sunglasses, he thought it would take a bit longer, so... it’s just that short of a distance?
He had investigated that she went along this road every day to the kindergarten to pick up her brother, but he had no idea that the distance between the kindergarten and the university was this short!
"Stop here."
He gritted his teeth and said to the driver.
"Thank you."
Chi Youyou didn’t feel there was anything wrong, she smiled and said thank you, then got out of the car and ran across the street.
"Young master, this cousin is really ill-mannered."
Uncle Wan couldn’t take it anymore.
"Uncle Wan, we indeed were inconsiderate today."
Cheng Shujin thought for a moment and still spoke up for her. Uncle Wan was his mother’s person, he normally wasn’t with him. His mother sent him along for similar reasons as Cheng Shujin’s own thinking, just not wanting the two to share in the inheritance.
But he was a bit better, just slightly unwilling, especially since his aunt had left the family for such an ordinary man, he felt it was not worthwhile for her.
As for his mother, with the matters in a large family like theirs, how could he not know.
His father liked his aunt and thought the grandfather was too heartless back then, so he never opposed this matter.
But his mother wouldn’t think that way.
He just turned a blind eye.
"It was my negligence, I should have contacted Miss Chi in advance."
Uncle Wan watched him grow up, in his mind the young master and lady were always right.
"But I feel the cousin is not as simple as she appears, young master, you mustn’t be fooled by her appearance."
"Alright, Uncle Wan."
Cheng Shujin didn’t argue with him. In fact, he vaguely sensed it too, that innocent demeanor from before was an act.
Deliberately getting in the car, only to go such a short distance, was likely intentional.
This kind of petty act was really too small-minded!
Such a pretty face wasted!
"Knock knock knock."
A sudden tapping on the car window was heard, and there was Chi Youyou’s radiant face.
Cheng Shujin’s heart skipped a beat, and before he could speak, he heard Uncle Wan tell the driver to unlock the car.
Damn it!
He really wanted to send her for plastic surgery, how does a person from the countryside deserve such a face!
"Sorry to keep you waiting, this is my brother Chi Zaozao."
Chi Youyou noticed the man’s rather unfriendly gaze, automatically ignoring it, and got straight to the point, "So, are you here today to take us to M Country?"
