Adopting and Raising the Male Lead and the Villain

Chapter 16 - Cousin (3)

At this banquet at home, there were just the three of them Grandpa Ding, Lang Jinzhi, and Zhong Yuhuan. They sat down together around the round dinner table and the maids quickly came and brought over the utensils.

Wait, said Zhong Yuhuan as she bent over and picked up the large bag sitting by her feet and took out a box, I brought a gift for grandpa.

A gift? Grandpa Ding and Lang Jinzhi were both dumbfounded.

Huanhuan has a gift for grandpa? asked Grandpa Ding incredulously.

When Ding Ruxue gave birth to Zhong Yuhuan, Grandpa Ding was still in his prime and focused a lot on his career. Not only did he not visit his granddaughter a lot, he barely even has time for his daughter. That was why he was not surprised when his granddaughter was cold and distant to him nor did he expect her to turn around and have a relationship with them right away.

Naturally, he had never seen a gift before.

Mm, nodded Zhong Yuhuan as she pushed the box in front of Grandpa Ding.

Grandpa Ding opened up the box and inside was three cans of tea leaves. He didnt even care to look at the label on the cans before he handed them to the maid and said, Go make a cup, I want to try.

The maid took the tea leaves from him and left right away.

When Lang Jinzhi witnessed this, he thought to himself she was finally growing up.

Zhong Yuhuan bent over again and pulled out another box, This one is for you, cousin.

Now Lang Jinzhi was really dumbfounded.

Never in a million years would he have imagined that hed be getting a gift too.

Grandpa Ding frowned and said, Why does he get a gift? He was never around and never take good care of you.

His words were harsh but he had a look of envy on him.

This was the very first time he received a gift from Huanhuan!

How could Lang Jinzhi get one too!

Zhong Yuhuan was not intimidated by her grandfather, she looked at him and smiled, Sure it is necessary. Cousin did help me! He sent Secretary Cheng to come and help me with matters!

So what? If you want, you can have Secretary Cheng, or Secretary Dong, anyone you want. You can even have grandpas secretary.

No, its alright. What do I need so many secretaries for? Zhong Yuhuan shook her head quickly.

Grandpa Ding couldnt hide his look of disappointment.

He felt that he owed too much to his daughter and his granddaughter. When he finally wanted to make amends, he had no outlet to anymore. He really wish Zhong Yuhuan would just have endless requests.

Zhong Yuhuan pushed the box over to Lang Jinzhi, Here you go, cousin.

Lang Jinzhi looked at the box and hesitantly reached out and opened it up. He saw a Swiss Richard Mille fountain pen.

Growing up in the family that he did, of course Lang Jinzhi knew the worth of this pen.

He closed the lid of the box and said lowly, Thank you. And after more thought, added, Thank you, cousin.

Alright, alright. You can stare at it some more when you get home. Lets eat. I am sure Huanhuan is starving.

Mm, replied Lang Jinzhi.

Everybody picked up their chopsticks and focused on eating. There werent a lot of exchanges during dinner.

After dinner, Grandpa Ding looked like he wanted Zhong Yuhuan to stay for longer, This is where your mother grew up. You should come visit more often.

Zhong Yuhuan nodded.

Lang Jinzhi put his suit jacket back on quietly before he said, Ill give you a ride back.

Zhong Yuhuan look at him, surprised.

Was this is the same cousin in the original owners memory? This was certainly the polar opposite from the one in her memories. So all it took was a pen? It was that easy?

And it was all paid for from the $5 million she got from Zhong Chi!
