Zhang Yansheng could never have imagined that she and her father actually had a telepathic connection.
There was no need for Zhang Huan to look at her. She understood what he meant before he even finished speaking. Old man, trying to give her a chance.
Of course, it could be that she thought too highly of him, or he could simply want her and her cousin to compete for the old lady's favor.
A family like theirs with a net worth of billions certainly has family love and friendship. For example, Zhang Huan and Zhang Yu actually have a good brotherly relationship. They also have the same interests in the outside world. If one of them is in trouble, the other will definitely lend a hand. The two brothers help each other.
But because his wealth is so huge, competition is inevitable.
Compared to the gossips Zhang Yansheng had heard about some families where blood and death had occurred, the fight in the Zhang family was much milder. Not to mention a falling out, there wasn't even any fighting. At most, everyone was vying to please the old lady.
The family tradition is quite positive and good.
When Zhang Huan heard that his biological mother wanted to support his eldest brother's daughter, he immediately thought about trying to get something for his own daughter as well.
Before Zhang Yansheng could respond, the aunt spoke up: "Yanyan is still young, what does she know? If she runs around everywhere, how can mom have the energy to look after her? Don't go and make trouble."
The old lady didn't express her opinion, but she looked over.
Zhang Yansheng knew that the old lady understood that she would never cause trouble for her, so the reason why the old lady did not express her opinion was probably because she really thought she was still young.
Zhang Qi also said: "There is nothing fun about this kind of forum. It's just a meeting where you listen to a lot of people talking and communicating. Yanyan, I tell you, it's very boring."
You just said you wanted to see this forum, but now you say it's boring.
Is it interesting to be so two-faced in front of the old lady?
Zhang Yansheng was a little impatient. If Zhang Qi dared to confront Liang Yingying head-on like her mother did to her, Zhang Yansheng would still look up to her. But she was annoyed by Zhang Qi's secret attempt to fool her while pretending to be doing it for her own good.
"If Sister Qiqi finds it boring," Zhang Yansheng said directly to the old lady, "then I'll go with you. I've previously accompanied my dad to a charity auction hosted by Mr. Xiao Xue, and I found it quite interesting. There are many things you won't encounter at school. If you go out more often, you can really learn new things."
Zhang Huan's mouth curled up slightly, but he then forced himself to restrain himself.
He knew that his daughter must have her mother's genes! Look how clever she is, just like her mother.
When Zhang Qi said "boring", Zhang Yu and his wife knew that this silly girl had said the wrong thing. But they didn't expect that Zhang Yansheng, who used to be stupid and stubborn, is now becoming more and more clever, and he can even directly choke his silly girl with words.
Fortunately, when the silly girl was still dumbfounded and anxious to explain to her grandmother, her second uncle had already spoken: "Let's go together, let's go together. Grandma is old, and I'm counting on you two little ones to take care of her together. Together!"
Mrs. Zhang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that although her niece's words were a bit unpleasant, her brother-in-law was quite kind.
She quickly changed her words: "That's right, two people together can take care of mom."
It was as if she had completely forgotten that it was she who had just said that Zhang Yansheng's going there was "causing trouble".
Liang Yingying was carrying a plate of dumplings and was about to put them on the cooking table next to her. She turned her back to the group of people and rolled her eyes.
Although Mrs. Zhang Yu said so, the final decision still lies with the old lady.
Everyone looked at the old lady. The old lady smiled and nodded: "Then let's go together."
Mrs. Zhang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that Zhang Yansheng remained calm and composed, while Zhang Qi showed a look of grievance on her face. She secretly hated it!
This silly girl she gave birth to has never been able to compare with Zhang Yansheng in anything since she was a child. In front of the old lady, she was always suppressed by her cousin who was three years younger than her, and could never please the old lady.
She didn't know how many times she had scolded him or taught him, but he was still so stupid. It doesn't look like the child she gave birth to.
But Zhang Yansheng is a year older, if she goes too...Mrs. Zhang Yu spoke again, smiling, "Yanyan has gone, why don't Xiaolin go too..."
Unexpectedly, before she finished her words, her son Zhang Lin said, "I'm not going. I'm not going! Why would a high school student like me go to such a crappy party? I've made an appointment with my classmates to go skiing!"
Zhang Lin is only one year older than Zhang Yansheng and is a sophomore in high school this year. He is a real high school student, so it is normal that he is not interested in such economic and financial forums.
Zhang Yansheng is different. As a reborn person, her mental age is older than Zhang Qi. I feel in my heart that if Zhang Qi can do something, I also have the right to compete equally.
Not to mention that her own father is creating opportunities for her.
But in comparison, Zhang Lin, who is one year older, seems more childish, while Zhang Yansheng, who is one year younger, seems more mature.
Mrs. Zhang Yu was so angry at her son that she almost felt dizzy!
Her son is obviously the eldest grandson of the Zhang family! But like his sister since childhood, he was never as favored as Zhang Yansheng in front of the old lady.
Later, the sister-in-law passed away. Zhang Yansheng was tormented by her stepmother and became increasingly stubborn and radical, and more and more distant from the old lady. On the one hand, she felt sorry for Zhang Yansheng, but on the other hand, she was also secretly happy - after being suppressed by that capable sister-in-law who was favored by her mother-in-law for so many years, it was finally her turn! Who would have thought that even now, her son and daughter are still not as good as Zhang Yansheng!
Mrs. Zhang Yu glared at Zhang Lin angrily.
Zhang Lin was puzzled. He felt that he had said nothing wrong and his grandmother had not asked him to go in the first place. Besides, all three of them were girls, and he was a boy, so he didn't want to attend any forum with them.
"Forget it, forget it. If he doesn't want to go, forget it." The old lady joked, "How else can I take care of so many children? Are you planning to open a kindergarten?"
It's actually not a funny joke. The "sensible" adults were just about to laugh out loud, but who knew that the joke somehow tickled Zhang Shuocheng's funny bone.
He laughed so hard that his belly popped out: "Kindergarten! Hahahaha, my sister goes to kindergarten! Hahahaha!"
He laughed so foolishly that he actually made the adults laugh. The atmosphere was carried over and the matter was settled.
The people who had been undercurrents just now resumed their intimacy, chatting and laughing as they prepared to make dumplings.
Only Liang Yingying was so angry that she wanted to pinch Zhang Shuo twice, wanting to tell him not to smile like an idiot in front of these people and embarrass her!
The younger generations all live with Grandma Zhang, and the whole family stays up together to celebrate the New Year. When the bell rang at twelve, Zhang Lin and Zhang Shuocheng rushed out first! Get ready for fireworks!
The old lady quickly instructed her two sons: "Quick, go and look after them, don't let them get too upset!"
Zhang Yu and Zhang Huan both followed him out happily.
K City stipulates that firecrackers and fireworks can be set off until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. By the time the women had put on their coats and came into the courtyard, a large string of firecrackers was being set off in the yard.
The sky over K City soon became beautiful. Fireworks kept exploding in the sky, colorful and changing in various ways.
The old year turns over and the new year arrives.
Let the past remain in the past.
Zhang Heling looked up and saw her sister's face. Although there was no expression on her face, it seemed as if it was covered with clouds when the fireworks exploded.
Her sister's eyes reflected the blooming fireworks, and their light was deep and colorful.
How can it be so beautiful!
How can she be as pretty as her sister?
The little girl fell into deep thought and found herself a difficult problem at the beginning of the new year.
The New Year holiday is busy, with relatives visiting each other to wish each other a happy new year.
Zhang Huan and Zhang Yu's cousins came to visit the old lady, while Zhang Huan and Zhang Yu went to wish their aunt a happy new year. Various relatives came one after another, and the festive atmosphere was full.
On the sixth day of the New Year, the old lady and the aunt will host a family banquet.
Not only relatives with the surname Zhang came, but also the old lady's family and the aunt's husband's family. Relatives talked about relatives, and relatives came to visit each other.
After the party, the relatives all felt that Zhang Yansheng had grown up and matured, Zhang Heling had become more generous, and even the naughty kid Zhang Shuocheng was (forced) to behave himself.
The uncomfortable feeling that had been lingering in Zhang Huan's chest for the past two years suddenly cleared up, and even breathing felt comfortable.
Holidays always go by quickly. After the long vacation, people reluctantly start their nine-to-five work, still reluctant to leave.
On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, Old Lady Zhang took Zhang Qi and Zhang Yansheng to an ancient water town to attend a forum held there and participate in the Lantern Festival there.
On the 14th day of the first lunar month, Zhang Huan was still at home. No matter how severe the holiday syndrome was, the employees had to drag themselves to work, but the boss did not have to. Zhang Huan wanted to rest for two more days.
He went downstairs yawning. The two little ones were already sitting at the dining table. Their aunt brought him coffee and toast.
Zhang Huan took a bite of butter toast and watched the news. He heard Zhang Heling coldly say to Zhang Shuocheng, "You know what time to do homework and what time to play every day. Don't waste my time repeating it again."
Zhang Huan looked up at his little daughter and felt that something was odd, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
He lowered his eyes to continue watching the news, and with his other hand he put down the toast and reached for the coffee.
Zhang Shuocheng twisted and turned in his chair, humming.
"She's not at home again. She won't be back for several days! It doesn't count if she's not here! I'll do my homework in the afternoon. I will definitely do it! Just let me play for a while first~" The last note was repeated several times, and the lingering sound was because of playing. She began to act coquettishly with her sister.
Zhang Huan raised the coffee cup to his lips and looked up.
Just then, Zhang Heling raised his eyelids and sneered, "You are lawless when Big Sister is not around? You can try and see if Big Sister will hit you with a ruler when she comes back."
Blood ties are a wonderful thing.
Zhang Heling and Zhang Yansheng are obviously only half related by blood, but from Zhang Huan's perspective, the movement of his eyelids, the sneer at the corner of his mouth... he is exactly like a smaller Zhang Yansheng!
Zhang Huan spat out a mouthful of coffee, choking loudly: “Cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough!”
The two little ones were startled. Zhang Heling lost all her momentum in an instant and turned into the soft and sweet little girl again. She jumped off the chair and patted her father's back diligently to calm him down: "Dad, are you okay?"
Zhang Huan finally calmed down, and his little daughter kept asking him if he was okay.
He looked at his cute little daughter in front of him with an indescribable look in his eyes and a very complicated mood.
Why are you COSing your sister so early in the morning?
It's scary!
