Chapter 23:Nephew
Zhang Heling went to the kitchen to get ice cream and heard her mother on a call in the hallway.
“Liang Zheng? What did he do?”
“Seriously, he’s causing me trouble again.”
“Why did you say it won’t work? It’ll be useful if I talk!”
“Don’t let him come yet, I’ll make arrangements first! What are you talking about, no matter how useful it is, you still have to make some arrangements, right? You can’t just simply talk about it!”
“Okay, I got it. I will do it as soon as possible. Just wait for my answer.”
Zhang Heling trotted over with two packs of ice cream, went upstairs, and knocked on Zhang Yansheng’s door.
Zhang Yansheng opened the door and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Zhang Heling raised her hand: “Sister, I took some ice cream, would you like to eat too?”
This little girl’s big eyes flickered, sweet and cute.
Zhang Yansheng: “…”
She bought it all.
Zhang Yansheng said: “Come in.”
Zhang Heling jumped into Zhang Yansheng’s room, and the sisters sat on the sofa and ate ice cream together. Zhang Yansheng turned on the laptop and put on a cartoon.
“Sister, my cousin seems to be coming.” Zhang Heling said while eating.
Zhang Yansheng let out a sigh. Then after a while, she reacted, then she paused and asked, “Liang Zheng?”
“Sister, you know my cousin?” Zhang Heling said a little unexpectedly. She was taken by Liang Yingying back to her grandmother to celebrate the New Year, and she had only met her cousin twice.
But since entering the Zhang family, she has also gone back twice. In fact, she is not very familiar with her maternal grandmother’s family and she is also not familiar with this cousin.
Zhang Yansheng didn’t answer, she twitched at the corner of her mouth, and put on a sneer.
Liang Yingying was a child born in old age and she has an elder brother who is 10 years older than her. Her brother made the family too accustomed to being worthless. When her mother suddenly became pregnant with her, she was actually born with the intention of abandoning her.
She was born as a daughter, so the old couple was a bit disappointed, but it’s much better than nothing. They gave birth to her in the end, so she can support them. They thought that she can support and take care of them at their old age.
Liang Yingying’s eldest brother is an idler and does nothing, but he looks pretty good, so he’s good at picking up girls. He got someone pregnant early, so they had to get married and gave Liang Yingying a nephew, who was only seven years younger than her.
The old couple got their grandson, and they couldn’t close their mouths with joy, coaxing and holding him. He finally got admitted to a prestigious university… junior college course. The old couple felt that he was the golden phoenix at their family, and that they have done their best.
As for their daughter, she was arrogant and got married into a rich family, so it is now time to help her elder brother and nephew.
Liang Yingying bragged to her family on the call that her words were useful and told her to wait for her arrangements. But in fact, she didn’t mention a word to Zhang Huan that day.
She hasn’t gotten a Ferrari yet! Wait for the sports car to get in her hands before she can talk about the nephew!
In the evening, Zhang Huan was well served and comfortable. The next day, she immediately pulled over her group of friends to check on the cars. Amidst the envy of a group of girlfriends, she chose one and called Zhang Huan.
“Okay, the account number was sent over, and I will ask the finance to transfer money to them.” Zhang Huan said impatiently.
After the salesman told Liang Yingying that the car payment had arrived, Liang Yingying exerted all the limelight in front of her girlfriends, then waited for another two days. After waiting for a call from home, she finally mentioned it to Zhang Huan: “My nephew just graduated from college and he wants to come to K City. I thought, why don’t you let him come to the company to work? Husband, can you arrange this for me~”
This is not a big deal. In an enterprise, especially this kind of private enterprise, related households are indispensable.
Zhang Huan didn’t care: “Okay, let him come.”
When Liang Yingying got his permission, she raised her eyebrows and called home with exhalation: “Let Liang Zheng come.”
Her parents praised her on the call, and the Ferrari clerk called her again and said, “Once the car passed the customs, it can be picked up in a few days.” Liang Yingying feels that life is at its peak and that she was walking with the wind.
When she ran into Zhang Yansheng at home, looking at that cold face, she could still smile and would not provoke this ancestor.
For Zhang Huan, this summer vacation was really peaceful, serene, and beautiful.
That weekend, Zhang Yansheng came back from outside, and the hall was full of people. Except for her, all Zhang’s family members are there.
“Yanyan is back. Come, come, this is your Aunt Liang’s nephew, Liang Zheng.” Zhang Huan greeted her and introduced the young man on the sofa, “This is my eldest daughter, Zhang Yansheng. Come on, get to know each other.”
Zhang Heling also enthusiastically went over to pull Zhang Yansheng: “Sister, this is my cousin.”
Zhang Shuocheng sat on the sofa playing with the new game console he bought, obsessed with ignoring others.
Liang Zheng has a clear-eyed face of the Liang family, but his eyes are not pleasing. Drifting uncertainly, with many small thoughts flashing, he is not a down-to-earth and sincere person at first glance.
“Sister Yanyan, I am Liang Zheng. Oh, my sister is so big now. The last time I saw you, you were just a little girl.” Liang Zheng pretended to be affectionate, with a deliberately sleek and sophisticated expression on his face. The ‘last time’ he said was when Liang Yingying entered this house.
With two children, a middle-aged man like Zhang Huan has no sense of ceremony. He was not interested about weddings and the like. He didn’t hold a wedding ceremony for Liang Yingying and only received a certificate, but the Liang family has been there for a few days.
It’s just that Zhang Yansheng was violent at the time. Zhang Huan didn’t let his new mother-in-law and his brother-in-law’s family live in the house, and only arranged for them to stay in a hotel.
The Liang family, who came from a small place, saw that the son-in-law was generous and allowed them to stay in a luxurious hotel. He also arranged for a car driver to take them around and they could buy things at will. They were so happy from ear to ear. The Liang family didn’t care, but Liang Yingying felt ashamed in her heart, so she hated Zhang Yansheng very much.
Facing Liang Zheng, Zhang Yansheng supported her chin and said “Hello” lightly.
In the days when Zhang Yansheng was reborn, Zhang Huan had an impression of ‘grown up’ and ‘sensible’ her in his heart, and her words and existence were more important than before. Zhang Huan explained to her: “Xiao Liang has just graduated from university. I arranged for him to do an internship in the company and work there first.”
Old foxes never said deadly words. The old fritters never talk to death. Related households can be arranged, but they all ‘do it first’ and let’s talk about it later.
Zhang Yansheng nodded and asked Liang Zheng, “Which university?”
Liang Zheng raised his chest and said proudly: “H University!”
Most people would praise it when they heard this. After all, it is a famous university. Who would ask you more like if you are a college undergraduate or not?
Liang Zheng has always introduced himself in this way to the outside world, only talking about school, at most talking about majors, and never mentioning undergraduate courses.
Then, the beautiful girl from the Zhang family asked directly: “Undergraduate or junior college?”1
Liang Zheng was dumbfounded.
This girl, why can’t she speak well? Well, although he is indeed only a junior college course graduate, how can anyone just ask people if he is a graduate of an undergraduate or junior college course?
But Zhang Huan also looked at him with a smile while holding a cigarette. Liang Zheng has also been to other companies for interviews before, and he knows that he has to submit a certificate of study/experience to any company he goes to, and he has to hand in a copy, so he can’t hide it from others. He had to bite the bullet and replied: “Junior college, junior college course.”
Zhang Yansheng gave a long “Oh…” sound, which was meaningful.
To Liang Yingying and Liang Zheng, it was extremely ear-piercing.
But in their hearts, they felt that Zhang Yansheng, a newly graduated middle school student, knew that she was at most concerned about the high school entrance examination at this age, and not yet at the stage of the college entrance examination. They feel that they are too concerned again.
This dead girl shouldn’t be taunting deliberately. Besides, how can she still know in advance that Liang Zheng is a junior college course graduate?
She just really can’t speak well!
An idiot!
“Ah, it’s all the same.” Liang Yingying said hurriedly, “You may not know that H University is famous and one of the top universities in the country.” In Liang Yingying’s family, parents are typical citizens, and her elder brother is an idler like a hooligan, and her sister-in-law is too lazy. The whole family is pretty good about this nephew, he is a college graduate anyway. And no matter how she is at odds with her family, when facing outsiders, she protects her shortcomings better than anyone else.
Liang Zheng changed the subject: “Is Sister Yanyan in high school?”
It’s better for the nephew to ask such a caring question. Liang Yingying immediately smiled and said, “She will be when the next school year starts. She’ll go to Yi High School. You don’t know, it is the best high school in K City and it costs a lot of money to enter.”
Liang Zheng also said “Oh…”, in high level tone.
Zhang Yansheng looked at Zhang Huan, although he was still holding a cigarette, his smile remained unchanged, but his eyes cooled down.
Zhang Huan also wants face.
Zhang Yansheng is not the only one to lose temper after being exposed in front of the newly arrived relatives.
Zhang Yansheng smiled and said, “I’m not contending. I can’t get in by myself, so my dad paid for me to be sent in. Now I’m making up classes frantically, thinking about starting a class with better credits.”
Zhang Huan was very pleased after hearing this.
If a child is determined to study hard and enter the good environment of Yi High School, then he will not be afraid of not learning well. When Yanyan was a child, she had a very good academic record. It was only because of the influence of her mother’s death that it fell.
In his heart, anyway, he wouldn’t think that Zhang Yansheng’s later grades deteriorated because he married a troublemaker and brought two illegitimate children into the house.
It will never be his own fault.
Zhang Huan flicked the soot and asked Liang Yingying with a smile: “Where will Xiao Liang live in the future?”
Liang Yingying said: “He just came to K City and he is not familiar with the life here. I want him to live here at home…”
“Okay, let him stay for a few days, it’s fine.” Zhang Huan waved his hand, “Just find a house as soon as possible. Young people have to experience more, and when they leave home, they have to taste the ups and downs.”
Liang Zheng was stunned.
Obviously, his aunt was full of words on the call before, saying that he would just stay at their home. The last time he came to K City, he was very impressed with the big mansion of the Zhang family. Before coming this time, he had already spoken to his friends, saying that he would live in a mansion in K City, and many people were waiting to envy him.
He was very dissatisfied and winked at Liang Yingying frequently.
Liang Yingying also choked.
She also mentioned to Zhang Huan about him living at home. Zhang Huan was a wise man at the time and said ‘okay’ casually. She thought that this matter was settled. Unexpectedly, Zhang Huan suddenly changed his mind.
She gave Liang Zheng a soothing look and said: “Xiao Zheng is still young, so I think…”
“He’s not young anymore. He graduated from college already.” Zhang Huan said with a smile, “After I graduated from high school, my father gave me a company to let me practice. As a parent, you have to learn how to let go. Don’t always think about taking care of him comprehensively. For boys, they have to experience it and have to suffer a bit.” The old fox blocked Liang Yingying’s words directly.
Liang Yingying was dumbfounded
