Mr. Dong? Ye Zhizhou, who was fast asleep, thought about it carefully. Who else could it be but his uncle who could make Zhang Ma so excited?
After a quick wash, she changed into slightly more formal clothes and went downstairs to see her uncle.
"Zhouzhou, Wencan said you were almost harmed on set. Tell your uncle, who was the fool who tried to hurt you?"
After finishing filming, Dong Xinhui went straight to Ning City. He didn't even have time to pack his suitcase, only bringing a few light clothes.
Seeing his travel-worn appearance, Ye Zhizhou felt a warmth in his heart.
"Uncle, the person who tried to harm me has been brought to justice, so don't worry."
Dong Xinhui's tense expression finally eased, and he sat down on the sofa.
Aunt Zhang had already brewed tea and placed it on the coffee table. It was a premium tea from Old Shen's shop, delivered by Qin Xuan.
"As soon as I heard you were in trouble, I rushed over. I heard you signed a contract with Yong's company for a drama. I know their chairman. I'll have to talk to him next time I see him."
Dong Xinhui still felt he hadn't done enough; he only had this one niece, and he absolutely couldn't let anything happen to her.
Ye Zhizhou felt a warmth in his heart, realizing that in this life, everyone around him doted on him, a stark contrast to his previous life of loneliness and misery.
"Zhouzhou, have you met your cousin's wife?"
Dong Xinhui suddenly lowered his voice mysteriously and asked Ye Zhizhou.
He had wanted to meet his future daughter-in-law for a long time, but he didn't have the time, and his son wouldn't let him see her, saying that his daughter-in-law had social anxiety.
Bah, he's just worried that the brat's secrets will be exposed.
"We see each other often, but we haven't seen each other much lately because of filming. My cousin-in-law is such a nice person!"
Ye Zhizhou wasn't quite used to being called "cousin-in-law" yet, since he was used to calling her "Sister Rong."
"I heard your cousin's wife opened an internet cafe. How's business?"
Dong Xinhui actually wanted to meet Ruan Jingrong, but he was too embarrassed to tell Ye Zhizhou.
Ye Zhizhou understood his meaning and, after thinking about it carefully, could also understand Dong Xinhui's eagerness to meet his future daughter-in-law.
"Uncle, how about I take your cousin's wife to her internet cafe? My cousin should be there too."
To please his wife, Dong Wencan was extremely attentive every day, afraid of being disliked by Ruan Jingrong.
She didn't even need to guess; she knew exactly where he was.
Upon hearing this, Dong Xinhui's eyes lit up.
"Okay, let's go now. I'll buy some gifts on the way."
The two hit it off immediately. Dong Xinhui bought a bag at a shopping mall they passed by. Ye Zhizhou helped him pick it out because he felt that girls might not like his taste.
At the entrance of an internet cafe.
Dong Xinhui looked up at the billboard hanging high above. He had filmed many movies related to internet cafes before, and in his mind, internet cafes were dirty and chaotic.
But Ruan Jingrong's internet cafe is closer to the kind that real e-sports players prefer: it's clean and tidy, and has a dedicated smoking area.
"Uncle, let's go inside."
Ye Zhizhou, carrying his bag, pulled Dong Xinhui inside.
Ruan Jingrong noticed her immediately, and also noticed Dong Xinhui next to her.
"Sister Rong, where is your cousin? Your uncle came to see him and also to check on you. This is a gift from your uncle."
Dong Xinhui felt awkward about his visit and didn't want to greet Ruan Jingrong, so Ye Zhizhou simply greeted her as well.
Her uncle may be very talented in filmmaking and business, but he is not so good at handling family relationships.
"Hello, I am Dong Wencan's father, Dong Xinhui. It's a pleasure to meet you."
He made a effort, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.
Ye Zhizhou could tell that his uncle was trying very hard, but that smile really looked forced.
Ruan Jingrong initially looked a little flustered, but after seeing that Dong Xinhui was very easygoing, she relaxed.
"Hello Uncle Dong, Wencan is upstairs. I'll have him come down right away."
Dong Xinhui breathed a sigh of relief and pushed the gift he was going to give her forward, "This is for you, a gift for our first meeting, see if you like it."
Ruan Jingrong had no choice but to open the packaging bag and see the gift inside: a brand-new, niche handbag. Although it was niche, it suited her aesthetic perfectly.
"Thank you for the gift, Uncle. I really like it. Shall we go up to the second floor? There are too many people on the first floor, so it's not convenient to talk."
She behaved with grace and poise, which perfectly matched Dong Xinhui's requirements for a daughter-in-law.
The group went upstairs to the second floor, where Dong Wencan was cooking for Ruan Jingrong in the kitchen. The food was a mess, showing that he wasn't very good at cooking, but he still managed to get the hang of it.
He carried the food out and was about to go downstairs when he bumped into three people coming upstairs. He almost dropped the food on the ground in his nervousness.
"Dad, what brings you to Ning City? You didn't even tell me."
He finally managed to steady his hand before questioning Dong Xinhui.
Dong Xinhui stared at him, "What? Can't I even come to see my future daughter-in-law?"
In his haste, he blurted out what was on his mind. Only after he finished speaking did he realize that Ruan Jingrong was still beside him. He smiled apologetically at Ruan Jingrong and continued arguing with his son.
"Yes, yes, of course we can, but you should at least give us a heads-up. We weren't prepared at all."
Dong Wencan looked somewhat unhappy; he was afraid that Ruan Jingrong would be angry with him.
Dong Xinhui pouted, "If I told you, would you still have asked me to come?"
Ruan Jingrong was surprised by the way the father and son usually interacted. She leaned close to Ye Zhizhou's ear and asked curiously, "Is this how your cousin usually is at home?"
Ye Zhizhou couldn't help but laugh out loud, and nodded seriously, "In a family of four, his status is indeed the lowest."
