After a few days, Jiang Feng still had not come up with a way to solve his financial problems. Fortunately, Luo Yuchang had yet to make a move so there was still time.
At this time, Jiang Feng received a call from Jiang Jianzhong. He said, âLittle Feng, your second aunt and cousin are at the train station. Quickly accompany your second uncle to pick them up.â
Jiang Feng called for a car. After picking his second uncle up, they went to the train station.
The train station was bustling. Jiang Fengâs second uncle was also knocked to the ground by the stream of people.
Jiang Feng quickly caught his second uncle.
Jiang Fengâs second uncle looked around. When he did not see his wife and daughter, he brought his phone out as he muttered, âThere are too many people. I wonder where they are.â
After dialing his wifeâs number, just as he placed his phone against his ear, Jiang Fengâs second aunt saw him.
She waved and called out, âOver here!â
Jiang Shi jumped and waved as well. She did not behave like a teenager, but more like a child. Her eyes lit up when she saw Jiang Feng, who was standing next to her father. She thought her cousin was rather handsome. Seeing that her cousin had such a big house, she thought his ability must not be bad as well. In short, he was young and promising. She thought that he must have a lot of fangirls and wondered how she could make money from them.
Jiang Shi and her mother had quite a lot of luggage with them.Seeing this, Jiang Feng helped them with it.
Jiang Fengâs second aunt quickly stopped him, worried he would be tired. She said, âYouâre Little Feng, right? Donât worry. Weâll carry the luggage ourselves.â
âSecond Aunt, donât be so polite. The car is just outside so the walk isnât long,â Jiang Feng said. He ignored his second auntâs refusal and took the luggage from her.
âLittle Feng, youâre really sensible. My daughter is really insensible. She brought so many useless things and added to our burden,â Jiang Fengâs second aunt said as she looked at Jiang Shi with a hint of reproach.
Jiang Shi wore an indignant expression on her face as she grumbled, âWhat do you mean by useless things? Mom, you donât understand me at all. Isnât it normal for girls to have a lot of things? I have uses for all of them.â
âWhat useful things do you have? Arenât they just cosmetics that take up space? You have too many things. Letâs see how youâre going to arrange them later,â Jiang Fengâs second aunt said, showing signs of bickering with Jiang Shi as she glared at Jiang Shi.
âSecond Aunt, donât worry. The house is big. Little Shi will have space to keep her things,â Jiang Feng said.
âCousin, youâre the best! Iâm your fangirl from now on!â Jiang Shi said as she cleverly held Jiang Fengâs arm before making a face at her mother.
âThis child!â Jiang Fengâs second aunt looked at her daughter helplessly as she said, âLittle Feng, she might cause you a lot of trouble in the future. Sheâs really not obedient.â
âNo, Iâm very obedient!â Jiang Shi said as she winked at Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng was amused. âDonât worry, Second Aunt. Iâll look after Little Shi.â
âLook, Cousin said donâtworry,â Jiang Shi said to her parents. Then, she said bitterly to Jiang Feng, âCousin, whereâs the car? I still have to do my homework when we get back.â
Then, Jiang Shiâs eyes lit up as she continued to say, âHowever, Iâll be going to school in the city, right? I canât wait. I can go out and play as well!â
âYouâre quite smart. Yes, youâll be going to school in the city,â Jiang Feng said with a nod as he led the trio to the car.
The designated driver placed the luggage in the trunk of the car while Jiang Feng gestured to the family of three to get into the car.
Jiang Shi looked around and exclaimed inwardly, âWow! Cousin even has a chauffeur!â
After Jiang Feng got into the passengerâs seat, Jiang Shi hurriedly asked, âCousin, where did you get your money? You even have a chauffeur and a big house. I really admire you!â
âI donât have a chauffeur. I called for a car to pick you up. As for the house, I was just lucky,â Jiang Feng replied with a faint smile.
âThis kind of luck is too heaven-defying! Cousin, if you need help, you can talk to me. Although Iâm just a high school student, my life experience is not bad!â Jiang Shi said, promoting herself. Her eyes shone with eagerness as she looked at Jiang Feng.
âAlright, alright, if I need anything, Iâll look for you,â Jiang Feng said with a smile. He thought that his cousin was quite interesting.
âHow much money can you earn doing your stupid live stream every day? I donât see you offering to help your father,â Jiang Fengâs second aunt said sarcastically. Then, she said with a helpless expression, âLittle Feng, your cousin only thinks about nonsense every day. Fortunately, sheâs first in her grade. Otherwise, Iâd be angered to death.â
Jiang Fengâs second uncleâs expression turned solemn as he said, âItâs almost time for you to prepare for your college entrance exams. Little Shi, you should stop doing those live broadcasts.â
âDad, donât you trust me? Iâll definitely pass the exams! Even if I spend my time playing, Iâd still get first place!â Jiang Shi said casually as she shrugged, âI wonder if those who study day and night are tired. They should also allocate time to play like me! Isnât that good?â
Jiang Feng did not say anything and only listened quietly. Perhaps, after Jiang Shi graduated from university, he would let her work in the company. With that, he could take care of her. Moreover, she seemed quite smart. With this, his second uncle and second aunt would not need to worry and can enjoy their old age peacefully.
Jiang Fengâs second aunt sighed and asked, âLittle Feng, how are your parents? I havenât seen them in a long time. Your second uncle was very busy, after all.â
âTheyâre doing well. My father is still plagued with his old illness, but itâs curable and not life-threatening. Iâve also found a doctor to treat Second Uncle. Donât worry,â Jiang Feng replied with a smile.
âIâve heard about it from your second uncle. I really feel at ease with you around. However, I really feel sorry about troubling you with this matter. Little Feng, donât spend too much money on us. Youâre not only running your company, but you also have to start a family of your own in the future. You have to save your money,â Jiang Fengâs second aunt said with a sigh, âIf only your two cousins are as capable as you, Iâd be content for the rest of my life.â
âLittle Shi and Chengyuan are very good. They have a bright future ahead of them,â Jiang Feng said.
Jiang Shi patted her chest and chimed in, âMom, Dad, donât worry. I wonât rely on my brother and cousin in the future! Iâll rely on my own ability to get a good job that I like!â
âYou? Iâd be happy as long as you donât cause trouble for us.â Jiang Fengâs second aunt said before pursing her lips. However, she was inwardly happy.
Although Jiang Shi seemed carefree, she was still very filial to her parents. Although she had grown up, she did not forget her parents.
Jiang Fengâs second aunt thought to herself, âPerhaps, Iâll be able to enjoy her filial piety like Little Fengâs parents.â
Jiang Shi laughed and said, âMom, trust me! When Iâm successful in the future, you can just enjoy your life!â
âAlright, alright. Youâre still young now so you should focus on your studies first,â Jiang Fengâs second uncle said happily. He did not expect his daughter to be so ambitious. His daughter would definitely be outstanding in the future.
âJust wait and see! In a few years, youâll see the results!â Jiang Shi said arrogantly.
At this time, the car turned into a street.
Jiang Shiâs eyes darkened immediately as she said through gritted teeth, âIf it were for this wretched place, Dad wouldnât have fallen ill again, and the company wouldnât have fallen to such a state! I really hate this place!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Jiang Shi really wished she could destroy this place. If she did not have such a cousin like Jiang Feng, her family would still be in a difficult situation.
