Chapter 2596 A Different Kind of Care
"Su Meng is not bad."
After a moment of silence, Long Ting spoke up for Su Meng.
Zhan Chi was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "That's true. Apart from him, I'm afraid no one else would dare to marry our Bei Bei."
"No, that won't happen. My master really likes Beibei and has said countless times that he wants to arrange a marriage between your family and Beibei's family. It's Junfei who has the same feelings for Beibei as I do. Maybe it's because we grew up together and developed a brother-sister relationship."
Cheng Lingling really likes Beibei and wants to send her son to Haitong's house so that Haitong can raise Junfei as her son-in-law and let Junfei and Beibei grow up together as childhood sweethearts.
In the past, elders thought that if children played together and developed deep bonds, their paths would be easier when they grew up. Their bonds were indeed deep, but they were familial, like siblings, without romantic feelings.
Cheng Lingling always says to Junfei, "Why doesn't Junfei like the pretty and cute Beibei?"
君非说他喜欢贝贝呀，但他的喜欢是很单纯的喜欢，并没有娶贝贝为妻的想法，他还说贝贝兄弟十八个，他不敢娶贝贝，怕会被十八个兄弟揍。
They say that if someone punches him once, he'll take eighteen punches.
This left Cheng Lingling both amused and exasperated.
The Jun family is so large and prosperous, and the brothers, uncles and nephews are very united and live in harmony. Even Jun Fei doesn't dare to covet Bei Bei, let alone other men.
Those who wanted to curry favor with the Zhan family didn't dare to have such thoughts, because they knew the Zhan family was not to be trifled with, and they also knew that the Zhan family's only little princess was not love-struck, and the men surrounding her were all exceptionally outstanding.
Beibei wouldn't even look at an ordinary man.
Su Meng was different. He told his best friend early on that he would marry Bei Bei when he grew up and spoil her for the rest of his life.
The boy thought that way and did that way.
For the past twenty years, he has truly treated Beibei like a wife, pampering and cherishing her. No matter how the Zhan brothers treated him, he never changed his mind. Neither of their elders stopped him, letting things take their natural course.
The housekeeper quickly brought over fruit, snacks, and a pot of freshly brewed tea.
"The ninth day."
Long Ting remained seated, calling out to Chu Jiu.
Chu Jiu immediately stood up and walked over, respectfully calling out, "Young Master."
"I want to drink tea and see how well this pot of tea is brewed."
Long Ting gave the order.
Just as the butler was about to pour tea for Long Ting, Zhan Chi looked at him and gestured with his eyes that he should go back to his work and not get in the way.
The butler realized what was happening, smiled, and quietly left the pavilion, handing it over to Miss Long.
Chu Jiu picked up three teacups, arranged them, and then picked up the teapot. She poured herself a cup of tea, took two sips, savored it, and then finished the tea in the cup.
Afterwards, she placed the teacup on the corner of the table, because it was the teacup she had used and needed to be set aside to prevent the young master from taking the wrong cup.
"Young master, the tea is quite good."
Chu Jiu said softly.
Long Ting said, "You've only had such a small cup, how can you taste the tea? Have a couple more cups before you tell me."
Chu Jiu paused for a moment, then took back the teacup he had used and poured himself two more cups of tea.
After finishing her third cup of tea, she placed the teacup back in the corner, her expression respectful, and said in an affirmative tone, "Young Master, it's fine."
Long Ting then hummed in agreement.
She poured a cup of tea for Long Ting and Zhan Chi, and was about to retreat to a corner when Long Ting called her back.
"Try each of these fruits and see if they're fresh. Also, try the desserts and see if they're good. Tell me after you've tried them all."
Long Ting gave another order.
Chu Jiu paused for a moment, then looked at Long Ting. He had a stern face and looked very serious. When she looked at him, he looked at her too, and his tone became stern: "What, are you not listening to what I'm saying?"
"Or do you not want to help me taste these foods and see if they're fresh?"
Chu Jiu glanced at the fruit and pastries brought by the butler and respectfully replied, "Young Master, the fruit from President Ouyang's house is absolutely fresh, and the pastries are absolutely delicious."
Don't they realize how picky President Ouyang is?
The food at her house is absolutely fresh and absolutely delicious.
Zhan Chi said, "We have several refrigerators in our family. My mother has her own refrigerator, and she eats her own food. We eat different food than my mother."
This is a fact.
His father cooked exceptionally delicious and fragrant meals for his mother, and the dishes were different every day.
What I cooked for them was just a couple of simple home-style dishes. The ingredients were fresh, but not as elaborate as what I made for his mother. Fortunately, his father was an excellent cook, and even though it was just a couple of simple dishes, they ate so much that they even poured the sauce into their rice bowls to mix with their rice.
Since Zhan Chi said that, Chu Jiu had no choice but to try all the fruits and desserts.
After eating around the restaurant, Chu Jiu felt full.
"How about it?"
Long Ting asked her.
"Young master, the fruit is very fresh, and the snacks are delicious."
Chu Jiu is straightforward, and her answers are also direct, without using too many beautiful adjectives.
Long Ting hummed in agreement. "Sit down and eat with us."
"Young master, you mustn't! I'm your bodyguard."
Long Ting glanced at her, but this time he wasn't angry. He said calmly, "If you don't like it, sit down somewhere in the shade. Don't sit where the sun is shining, because if you block the light, it will be darker under the pavilion."
Zhan Chi thought to himself: Brother Ting is clearly worried about Ninth Sister and afraid that she will get sunburned. He actually said that Ninth Sister would block the light. How wide is Ninth Sister's body to block the light in such a big pavilion!
Furthermore, their tea is excellent, their fruit is absolutely fresh, and their snacks are incredibly delicious. When Brother Ting lets Ninth Sister try the food, it's to feed her, in case she gets thirsty or hungry while on duty.
Putting everything else aside, just the snacks alone—Ninth Sister tried every single one, so she wasn't hungry, not to mention she also ate so much fruit.
These two will also have a long way to go.
"Yes."
Chu Jiu wasn't disheartened by Long Ting's unpleasant words. She seemed used to it and actually chose a corner seat where she wouldn't block the sunlight from entering the pavilion.
Long Ting, in a good mood, picked up his cup of tea and said to Zhan Chi, "Fifth Brother, it's been a long time since your brother Ting has been able to leisurely enjoy some tea and scenery like this."
He looked at the scenery outside the pavilion and said, "The scenery in your yard is really nice, but of course, it can't compare to our Fengchen Villa."
Zhan Chi said, "My Youyou Manor isn't bad either."
It's as if he doesn't own a mountain villa.
Long Ting laughed, "That's true, how long has it been since you went back to your hometown?"
“Now that I’m working, I don’t have the same freedom as when I was in school. During winter and summer vacations, I pack my bags and fly back home. My parents don’t dare to say anything. If my great-grandmother calls, my parents will rush to send us back.”
"Now I can only go back during the Chinese New Year, because I don't have my great-grandmother's phone anymore."
Zhan Chi stopped there.
He misses his great-grandmother.
If his great-grandmother were still alive, he would definitely be back in Dongguan at his age, working for the Zhan Group and helping his older brother relieve his worries.
My second uncle's two older brothers returned to Dongguan City early on.
