Continuing from the last time, with the children cheering and laughing, the situation at the dinner table was finally not tense anymore. Although Cheng Cheng still looked hostile to Zening when he came in, he didn't have time to do that now, and Yang Yang alone was enough to annoy him to death.

I don’t know what’s wrong with me. Why does my little treasure like to be bullied so much? I wonder if his brother doesn’t show any sign of liking him. Why does he like Cheng Cheng so much? I’m scared when I see them getting along…

Well, I was so scared that I stuffed the last piece of Zhou Yi's favorite Dongpo pork into his mouth with a chopstick without even noticing it, until I heard the child sobbing.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry... Auntie will make you another plate, no! Two plates!" I hurriedly put down my bowl to coax the child, and I don't know if I did it intentionally or unintentionally, but when I looked up, everyone in the room seemed a little irritated and indifferent after hearing the crying of a child, especially the people in the third room. Except for Ze Xin who was sentimental and a little bit reluctant, the others seemed to want to throw the child out.

I also tried my best to make Zhouyi cry less loudly, but unfortunately I don't have that magical power, and the family's emotions towards Zhouyi now are not just about crying.

Chengcheng was still more outgoing. Seeing that it was useless for me to hold Zhouyi in my arms to coax him, she immediately put Yangyang aside, squinted her eyes and poked Zhouyi's nose with a finger: "Don't cry! It's just a piece of meat, aren't you willing to let your aunt eat it? Your aunt loves you so much, if you don't listen, your uncle will spank you!"

"Tsk, you're not helping but causing trouble, right?" I slapped him back.

Zhou Yi actually smiled for this, then snuggled into my arms again, wiping away tears pitifully: "I'm sorry, Auntie, I don't want to eat meat anymore, I just miss my dad a little bit..."

I was stunned when I heard this, even Cheng Cheng was speechless. When I looked at Zening and the others again, their faces were even uglier than each other.

Zening couldn't help himself, he simply put down his chopsticks and held his breath: "Zhou Yi, do you really not know where your father is? In such a long time, he really hasn't come to see you once?"

"Zhou Yi and his sister-in-law have been living in Xie Yu Shu He, with layers of defense. How could I not know if he came?" I slightly emphasized my tone, and watched Zening shrink back in disappointment and let out a long sigh, his momentum softened: "Okay, don't ask her."

"Dad doesn't want me anymore..." Zhou Yi felt even more aggrieved. Perhaps it was because she was old and could understand things. Although she didn't understand why everyone suddenly disliked her, she could clearly see the disgust in their eyes, so she even cried very carefully.

Zening was choked, and looking back at his equally lonely brother and sister, he kept on nagging: "Sister, don't be angry. I just think that brother is too cruel. He abandoned his two children. There has been no news for a year. We can't find out about him, but can't he find out about us? Zhou Yi, Zhou Xing and even sister-in-law are all well taken care of at home. Even if he stayed, they would probably be well fed and well fed. Why did he have to act like he was separated from his family? How sad it is! Sister-in-law didn't leave, but my Hui Xin disappeared. Silly child, I don't know if he took enough money with him when he left, and how he is doing now..."

I ignored it, actually I felt guilty. The second and third houses had such a big feud, I couldn't persuade Zening not to get involved. It was her father and brother who died, and she was only seventeen years old.

But Zhou Zhi was unwilling, he threw down his chopsticks and stood up: "You are talking nonsense! Dad will not abandon us! He is not the one who made the mistake, why do you blame him!"

"Could it be me?!" Zening couldn't hold it in any longer, and finally he went back in a low voice, but was stopped by Pei Zhen again.

"Eat." Pei Zhen said expressionlessly.

Zhou Yi was so frightened that she trembled, revealing a red face from my arms. I wiped her tears and reached out to pull Zhou Zhi, who was crying and angry, and said, "Okay, baby, are you full? Um... after you're full, how about going to the South Courtyard to have a look? Yuanyuan heard that you were back, so she brought you a really big balloon castle. Why don't you go and play with your sister?"

Zhou Zhi puffed up his cheeks and nodded, said okay and disappeared with Zhou Yi. I was also glad at this moment. Fortunately, Zhou Zhi was Chen Yining's son. He had completely inherited his mother's temperament and would not suffer any loss. He also had a backer. With a brother like him, Zhou Yi and Zhou Xing would not have a hard time in the future.

Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll really become the bad guy and suppress the third room for the rest of my life.

Zening took a while to recover, and continued to eat while asking, "Third Uncle is here? Sister, why don't you call him over? We are a family, and our blood relationship is tied to each other. What worse can happen if we sit at the same table?"

"I'm afraid it might be bad for you." Cheng Cheng couldn't help but sneered and tapped her temple. "Uncle San is a bit mentally ill. He forgot to take his medicine today. I wonder who at our table he'll take it out on. What do you think, sister?"

Zening kept silent and turned to look at Pei Zhen's expression. Pei Zhen still looked calm, as if the table of food really appealed to him, but he was really unhappy.

I stopped Cheng Cheng and told him to stop talking, indicating that the Meng and Xiang families were still there. But it was obvious that Meng Qinyuan, Han Xiaoxiao and Xiang Lingchen were already accustomed to this. Only Zhu Nanxiang was still a little interested. It was probably because he had spent too much time in the Arctic and raised too many bears, so he hadn't seen such a "big scene" for a long time, until Xiang Lingchen covered his eyes and stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth.

"Sister, eat more." Cheng Cheng picked up some dishes for me as if no one was around, her smiling mouth reaching her ears.

I smiled bitterly, swallowed two mouthfuls casually and put it down: "Forget it, I really don't have much appetite."

These attracted Cheng Cheng's attention, and he immediately became serious: "Is he sick? Lu Zeyun stayed for a long time in the afternoon. What are you talking about?"

"I've been feeling low, you know that, it's okay, I'm just arranging my business trip."

"On business trip?"

"Yes, Kexin has a contract that requires an interview with Corian's father. Gao Xin is too busy to visit him in person, and we happen to be acquainted, so this job fell on me."

Cheng Cheng frowned slightly in dissatisfaction: "Why did I give such a time-consuming and laborious task to you? Gao Xinci is really interesting."

"I'm the second largest shareholder of Kexin. Why shouldn't I go to such a big event?" I patted the back of Chengcheng's hand gently: "It's okay, just running errands and saying a few words."

"Then when are you going? When will you be back? Otherwise I'll go with you."

Chengcheng came over with a smile. My heart trembled, but I pushed him back calmly: "After your wedding, live your own life. Why do you always follow me? Discuss with Lulu where to spend your honeymoon. Didn't she look for you today?"

"No, what's wrong with her?" Cheng Cheng shrugged, looking really calm.

It seems that Lulu is scared, and there is no need for me to expose her in advance. It is better to let her take some time and speak in person. After pursing my lips, I decisively moved on to the next topic.

"Nothing, I just think you should pay more attention to your new wife."

Cheng Cheng laughed out loud: "What are you doing as an old married couple..."

"You deserve a beating, don't you?"

"I'm sorry, sister. I was wrong."

Cheng Cheng sincerely bowed his head to apologize, and I couldn't help him at all. He was really thick-skinned. There were a room full of his "strong enemies" here, but he just admitted his mistake. When he saw that my complexion had improved, he even poked his head out and rubbed my hand with a playful smile.

"Okay, are you learning from Wangcai? Be good." I pretended to pat him, coughed and said seriously, "I called everyone here today because I want to say a few things. Chengcheng is getting married, and Zening is getting older. Plus, there are many things I want to do but I can't. So I'm going to take advantage of the family dinner to rearrange the house before leaving. If you have any opinions, you can interrupt me at any time."

"So formal?" Cheng Cheng raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, so you have to be honest and don't bully others just because you are the older brother." I nodded, avoiding Cheng Cheng's grievances and moving my eyes to both sides of the long table: "Zening, let's talk about your business first. I looked at the date. You can consider getting engaged to Hang Sheng one month after your coming-of-age ceremony. I feel relieved with the two of you and Qin Yuan's help. After the engagement, I will transfer Ke Xuan to you. As for the share of your younger brothers and sisters, you can divide it among yourselves when you return home."

"Ah?" Zening was stunned when she heard this. She didn't know whether to stand or sit. Only after Pei Zhen reminded her did she suppress her excitement. She answered "yes" steadily, holding Meng Hangsheng's hand tightly under the table.

The children in the third room were naturally happy too, and their previous anger was swept away. Only Chengcheng's gaze seemed to be stabbing someone. Grievance was a precursor to madness, so I quickly pulled him to sit firmly.

"Have a good wedding. When I come back from Malaysia, you give Yangyang 30% of Ruiyi's shares. You run the business for him first, and keep the assets for him to spend when he grows up." I said, watching Chengcheng's eyes well up with tears. I have to say it's really fun to tease him. It can be regarded as revenge for what I did this morning. So when his emotions were about to reach a critical point, I blurted out a series of compensations: "I'll give Ke Lin to you."

"Huh?!" Cheng Cheng's eyes suddenly widened.

Me: "I said the same thing, after I come back from Malaysia. But this time because of the Corian marriage, as his friend, and to repay the RODRIGUEZ family for their care for Kexin, I have to stay longer. I also have to visit the Lu family. Old Mrs. Lu has taken care of Yangyang for us for so long, I have to express my gratitude, so it will still take a year or so. During this period, the company will be fully under your charge. When you come back, you can prepare and follow me to handle the formalities."

"Really?" Cheng Cheng calculated the time and probably felt that he could still be proud of himself before Zening, so he immediately raised his head, gave Zening a secret look, and was even more "fawning" to me.

I nodded with only a little reluctance, but mostly a smile: "Didn't I say that this depends on my mood? If I'm in a good mood, I'll give it to you naturally."

Cheng Cheng has starry eyes: "Sister, are you in a good mood today?"

"It's okay." Chengcheng pulled me and fed me another bite of food.

I don’t know what the reason is. Uncle Pei was silent for a long time and finally said three words: "Why?"

Cheng Cheng looked over unhappily: "Why?"

Pei Zhen ate while motioning behind him: "I asked why you were in a good mood, is it because of the betrothal gifts behind you?"

"Dowry?" Chengcheng and I looked over there together, and only then did we realize that many boxes had been neatly stacked in the small square in the backyard. They were bright red and very beautiful.

Cheng Cheng almost got furious when he saw it: "When was this delivered?"

Pei Zhen said calmly: "We haven't finished delivering them this afternoon. It's raining and it's inconvenient to move them. One more trip tomorrow will be enough."

I swallowed as if I saw a peacock spreading its feathers in excitement. "Did Gao Xin give it to you?"

Pei Zhen thought for a moment and asked, "Do you have any other suitors?"

Oh my goodness! It was indeed that peacock spirit! I told him that he didn't listen to me this afternoon! Didn't I tell him to be low-key and calm down? It was really because of him that he didn't pile the betrothal gifts on Chengcheng's face...

I covered my face, at a loss, and muttered quietly: "Hasn't it been given once?"

"When?" Cheng Cheng's hearing improved suddenly. She came close to me with narrowed eyes and a face that looked like it was about to explode with anger, as if she wanted to use her face to push my hand away.

but me……

I……

Isn't it just the 80 billion? Otherwise, how can I acquire Ke Lin and pay off the foreign debt? I used my betrothal gift to develop the company and I have to give it to him without even getting back the capital, and he is still pretending to be ignorant, right?

I suddenly became confident: "Why are you so curious? I didn't say I would agree, otherwise I shouldn't give Ke Lin to you. I should have mustered up the courage to fight you! Whose brother is like you, clinging to him? Didn't I give you the last bit of confidence because I had no distractions? Are you satisfied? If you are satisfied, let's eat!"

Cheng Cheng was half-believing and half-doubting, still staring at me eagerly. After taking a bite of the cucumber, she suddenly startled me: "Really?"

"Really? Have I ever lied to you?" I stuffed a mouthful of goose liver into his mouth and he choked. It was an unexpected result. Then I put on my airs again and looked at the whole family at a glance: "It's settled, Zening, go to my office tomorrow and take back the official seals. Then it's Zelu. If you can't take care of him, leave him with me. I think the situation in Yingjing is not optimistic. You are still young, and your family has suddenly encountered a disaster. There must be a lot of people coveting him. It's tiring enough to take care of everything. If Zelu goes there and is neglected or kidnapped, it will be a big problem. Yangyang and the others are in Linjiang to play with her. If you miss your sister, come and see her anytime. In a couple of days, I'll ask your brother-in-law to go to Yingjing. He has a wide network of contacts. Just let the Gao family know and they will take care of you."

"Okay, thank you brother-in-law and sister..."

"Didn't you just say you wouldn't marry him—"

Before Zening finished speaking, the "big devil" immediately jumped out from the side, and his resentful eyes almost pierced through people's hearts.

"A title! It's just a title!" I really wanted to punch the brat with both fists.

Although Cheng Cheng was also unwilling to accept it, at least he didn't lose face in front of so many people. He moved back angrily and continued chewing the food in his mouth, as if he thought it was Gao Xinci and was so ruthless to him. I shuddered, smacked my lips, remembered my business, looked back at the eyes of everyone at the table, and immediately slammed the table.

"It's settled! Meeting adjourned!"

Meng Qinyuan finally couldn't hold back his laughter and couldn't help but give a thumbs up at the end: "Shishi, it's rare for me to admire someone so much, you are a great man..."

"Eat more and talk less about me, otherwise I'll be the one fighting in the backyard!" I gritted my teeth and lowered my voice, but on the surface I showed a smile that couldn't be friendlier.

Han Xiaoxiao kept pulling him, but he didn't show any intention of shutting up. He said he was just talking in a whisper, but I actually heard it.

"Why? I really want to praise her. She works as hard as a nanny and feeds her younger brothers and sisters to be fat and strong, right? She helps others without expecting anything in return... What do you mean I am a relative of the third wife? It doesn't matter to me whether Fu Zening takes over the business or not. It makes no difference to me."

Well, okay, seeing that there is a hint of guilt in the eyes of these guys looking at me, I will just assume that he is helping me.
