Chapter 408: On the Road to Slapping Faces - No Turning Back
Upon hearing Zhou Jinpeng's words, Old Master Jiang couldn't help but remind him, "Old Zhou, have you forgotten how your stepchildren have treated you?"
A hint of anger flashed across Zhou Jinpeng's face when he mentioned his stepchildren.
He had worked so hard to raise those children, thinking he could finally enjoy his old age in peace, but they turned out to be ungrateful wretches.
“A while ago, those ungrateful wretches somehow heard about the demolition of my hometown and shamelessly came to me, saying they wanted to support me. Did they really think I didn't know they were after the demolition compensation? I had my nephews kick them out!” Zhou Jinpeng paused here, looking at Grandpa Jiang, “Those ungrateful wretches are not related to me by blood, but my four nephews are. Blood is thicker than water, and those four will definitely not let me down.”
Zhou Jinpeng has no regrets about handing the money over to his nephew.
"Are you really not going to reconsider?" Old Master Jiang frowned slightly.
"No need to think about it," Zhou Jinpeng said with a smile. "The blood ties are there for all to see! I just don't believe they would do something so heartless."
Grandpa Jiang added, "Then you should at least give yourself some security. You don't need to deposit all eight million into those four nephews' accounts. If you don't want a lot, at least keep half."
“No need, no need,” Zhou Jinpeng continued, “Anyway, after I die, that money will still belong to them. Old Jiang, you can put your mind at ease! My Zhou family has never produced ungrateful people. This matter is definitely Ning girl worrying too much.”
It's true that Jiang Ning is educated, and it's also true that she's intelligent.
However, cultured people are often much more detached from interpersonal relationships than ordinary people, which is why Jiang Ning distrusts his nephews so much.
Since Zhou Jinpeng had already said that, Grandpa Jiang couldn't say anything more.
He was, after all, an outsider.
Some things are better left unsaid.
Hopefully, Zhou Jinpeng's nephews will not let him down.

Emperor Apartments.
Shen Jingnian was having his housekeeper prepare the ingredients. He had recently learned a few new dishes and had arranged with Jiang Ning last night to have Chu Yi come over for lunch today.
After preparing the ingredients, the aunt left the apartment.
Seeing that it was almost time, Shen Jingnian picked up his phone and called Yun Haotian.
Yun Haotian answered quickly, "Hello, Uncle, what's wrong? Is there something you need?"
Shen Jingnian parted his thin lips slightly, "Send a picture of your shirt to my WeChat."
"Shirt? What shirt?" Yun Haotian was completely baffled.
Shen Jingnian parted his thin lips slightly: "It's the one with your girlfriend's love stamp."
After saying that, he hung up the phone directly.
They didn't give Yun Haotian any chance to speak again.
It just so happens that Yun Haotian was wearing that shirt today. After Shen Jingnian hung up the phone, Yun Haotian immediately sent a selfie, along with a peace sign!
Although Shen Jingnian didn't give Yun Haotian a chance to speak on the phone, he could send a message on WeChat.
and so.
After posting the selfie, Yun Haotian's messages came one after another!
See that? This is the love stamp my girlfriend personally made for me!
Uncle! Are you super jealous of me right now?
[What a pity! Some things you can't get through jealousy!]
[Well, what can I do? My girlfriend loves me so much!]
Seeing that Shen Jingnian was not replying to the messages, Yun Haotian narrowed his eyes. His uncle must have broken down by now.
Just thinking about it makes me happy!
Uncle, how about I talk to Uncle Jiang and have one printed for you too?
【I can speak to Father Jiang on your behalf, but only if you beg me!】
[If you ask me, I will grant your wish.]
His uncle hasn't asked him for anything yet!
Yun Haotian found it increasingly exciting the more he thought about it.
So exciting.
Upon seeing the WeChat message from Yun Haotian, Shen Jingnian raised an eyebrow slightly. His great nephew had truly not disappointed him.
Seeing that Shen Jingnian was not replying to his messages, Yun Haotian was completely confused.
What exactly is his uncle up to?
Half past ten.
Jiang Ning arrived at the apartment on time with Chu Yi.
She opened the door with practiced ease.
At this moment, Shen Jingnian was already cooking in the kitchen.
Chu Yi rushed into the kitchen and started licking Shen Jingnian like crazy. After licking Shen Jingnian, he went to steal Xiaobai's cat food.
soon.
A cat-dog fight broke out in the cat room.
The sound of a cat meowing.
The whimpering of a dog.
Jiang Ning, with a lollipop in her mouth, leaned lazily against the kitchen door frame. "Chef Shen, you've worked hard today."
“Serving the leader,” Shen Jingnian said in a low voice, glancing at Jiang Ning as he tossed the wok. “It’s my honor.”
"Your understanding is truly profound, here's a reward." Jiang Ning stuffed a half-eaten lollipop into Shen Jingnian's mouth.
Shen Jingnian accepted the lollipop from Jiang Ning. "Thank you, leader. I will definitely continue to work hard."
Jiang Ning has a sweet tooth.
Getting her to give up the half-eaten lollipop wasn't an easy thing.
This clearly shows how satisfied his boss is with him!
Feeling the sweetness spreading through his mouth, Shen Jingnian was instantly filled with boundless energy and decided to work overtime tonight to learn ten new dishes!
Jiang Ning rolled up her sleeves. "Let me help you."
I feel a little embarrassed that I always get to come here and just sit back and enjoy the benefits.
“No need for help,” Shen Jingnian put down his spoon and pushed Jiang Ning out. “Boss, the biggest help you can give me is to sit in the living room and watch TV. If you get bored, go to the study and play on the computer for a while.”
Jiang Ning had no choice but to leave the kitchen.
She went to the study, ready to play some games.
The computer is on; you can open it by entering the password.
Shen Jingnian was completely open with her, so Jiang Ning knew all his passwords.
After playing the game for about half an hour, Shen Jingnian's voice came from the living room, "Boss, dinner is ready."
"I'm here." Jiang Ning exited the game and went to the restaurant.
Shen Jingnian had already set out the meal, a lavish spread of five dishes and a soup.
"Boss, you eat first."
"Where are you going?" Jiang Ning asked.
Shen Jingnian continued, "I'll go get rice for Chu Yi and Xiao Bai."
Shen Jingnian not only cooked for him and Jiang Ning, but also made food for the cat and dog.
Upon hearing this, Xiaobai and Chuyi ran to the kitchen at the same time.
"I'll serve it with you."
Jiang Ning also came to the kitchen.
After serving rice to Xiaobai and Chuyi, the two of them went to the restaurant and began to eat.
Shen Jingnian served Jiang Ning a bowl of pork tripe and chicken soup.
Jiang Ning picked up the glass, took a sip, and then gave Shen Jingnian a thumbs up. "Wow! It's delicious! Mr. Shen, your cooking skills are even better than Uncle Lin's!"
Uncle Lin is the Shi family's cook.
Specializes in Cantonese cuisine.
He has a five-star chef certificate.
Shen Jingnian was very happy to be praised, and felt a warm feeling in his heart. "Boss, try this spicy fish slices again."
“This is delicious too!”
After finishing the meal, Shen Jingnian continued, "By the way, boss, I have to attend a rather important meeting tomorrow, but I don't know what to wear. Could you pick out a suitable outfit for me?"
“Okay.” Jiang Ning nodded slightly and followed Shen Jingnian into the dressing room.
Shen Jingnian's walk-in closet was very large, and he had a lot of clothes in various styles.
Jiang Ning pointed to one of the white shirts and said, "Wear a white shirt with black suit pants! This combination is perfect for important occasions."
"A white shirt?" Upon hearing this, Shen Jingnian repeatedly refused, "No, no."
"Why not?" Jiang Ning asked curiously.
Shen Jingnian continued, "Haotian will be there tomorrow too. If I wear a white shirt, he'll definitely laugh at me."
Jiang Ning looked puzzled: "What's so funny about wearing a white shirt?"
Shen Jingnian didn't explain, but simply took out his phone and pulled up his WeChat chat history with Yun Haotian. "Boss, you'll understand when you see this."
