Zhang Yu got up bright and early to head to that shop and had herself a delightful breakfast.
Then, she packed up some of it and headed out by taxi.
By the time she arrived at the Zhang family home, the siumai was still hot.
Chiang Yun was serving breakfast to Zhang Dagu and his wife when she caught sight of Zhang Yu and couldn’t help but purse her lips.
Hadn’t she said she wasn’t coming for breakfast?
Yet here she was.
However, her words dripped with insincere enthusiasm, “Little Yu, we’re just having breakfast.
Won’t you have some?”
Zhang Yu shook her head, “No thanks, I’ve already eaten.”
“Mom and Dad, I went to that nice siumai place for breakfast, and I’ve brought some for you.”
Zhang Dagu didn’t expect that Zhang Yu would think of them even when she went out for a breakfast, “Little Yu, you’re really too kind.”
“Even when you just go out to eat, you bring something back for us.”
“Unlike some people who only think of going out to eat for themselves…”
“…never thinking of bringing back food for us.” Zhang Dagu’s mind went back to a time when Zhang Guohua went out to eat with his family of three and didn’t bother to invite them, let alone bring them back any food.
Zhang Guohua knew that these remarks were about them.
What could he do but retract his hand that he almost held out?
Zhang Dagu served a siumai to both Zhang Guohua and his wife, “There you go, not too many, your mother and I need to eat, and we have to save some for Xiao Yi too.”
Though disappointed in Zhang Yi, how could he not have hope for him?
After all, he was the grandson of the Zhang family, and he still hoped that Zhang Yi would make more of an effort.
Chiang Yun looked at the siumai, genuinely not wanting to eat, “I won’t eat.”
Hmph, she wouldn’t eat anything bought by Zhang Yu—did she really think that Chiang Yun didn’t know?
It was just to provoke her, implying that all she knew was plain porridge and had no idea how to change things up.
Didn’t she know she should change it up?
But did changing it require effort?
Zhang Dagu had said they could buy whatever they wanted to eat, but if they really spent more money, the mood would definitely turn sour.
Zhang Guohua ate one of the siumai and gave Zhang Yu a thumbs up, “This really tastes good.”
“Of course, why else would I buy it if it wasn’t good?”
“Exactly, it’s delicious.”
“Brother, since Chiang Yun isn’t eating, you might as well have it,” Zhang Yu said, insisting on not wasting food.
Since Zhang Guohua loved it, he should have it.
Zhang Guohua glanced at Chiang Yun, “Wife, are you sure you don’t want any?”
Zhang Guohua’s words infuriated Chiang Yun—what a fool, knowing well that there was bad blood between her and Zhang Yu, he still listened to Zhang Yu.
“I’ll have it.” Zhang Guohua knew that Chiang Yun wasn’t pleased, but what could he do?
Eating plain porridge had become tiresome, and he wanted to have something different for a change.
Zhang Guohua speedily ate the portion meant for Chiang Yun, “Little Yu, you even go out for breakfast?”
“I’ve always wanted to try it, but never had the time.”
“Now that I have the time, I wanted to give it a go.”
Zhang Guohua couldn’t help but chuckle, “I’ve been wondering, Little Yu, when you’re working out of town, do you always eat out?”
“Yeah,” Zhang Yu admitted openly, “Sometimes, when I don’t feel like cooking, I go out to eat.”
“After all, I can’t be like a bumpkin who’s experienced nothing,” Zhang Yu felt she was just expanding her horizons.
Zhang Guohua nodded continuously, “Right, although the food you cook is delicious, you should still treat yourself to something different once in a while.”
Zhang Yu also nodded non-stop, “Exactly, that’s what I think too.”
“I’m heading back now.
I’m going to take a shower and then check out of my room.” There’s so much to do, and I can’t stay here any longer.
Let Chiang Yun stay busy.
Zhang Dagu remembered that Zhang Yu was leaving today, “What time is your train today?”
“Two o’clock.”
“Oh, right, Chiang Yun, please prepare lunch a bit earlier today,” Zhang Yu smiled sweetly at Chiang Yun, “It shouldn’t be as late as yesterday.”
Hmph, a train at two o’clock.
Deep down, Chiang Yun truly wished she could delay cooking the meal until then, but she knew she couldn’t, “I got it.”
“Thank you, Chiang Yun.” Zhang Yu was ready to leave.
Zhang Guohua, catching Chiang Yun’s look, couldn’t help but pat his head, “Little Yu, that, that…”
Zhang Yu turned to look at Zhang Guohua, not understanding why he had called out to her.
“After all, she is your sister-in-law, can’t you just call her ‘sister-in-law’?”
“You used to call her ‘sister-in-law’.”
“That, huh.” Zhang Yu smiled slyly and glanced at the expectant Chiang Yun, “I think it’s quite good this way.”
“After all, we are peers.”
“Xiao Yi is a junior, and he can address me as Zhang Yu so casually, isn’t that the rule of your household?” ƒreewebɳovel.com
Zhang Guohua didn’t know how to continue, “That, that—”
“Fine, let’s not say Xiao Yi is just a kid.”
“I truly don’t want to hear it anymore, he is already working.”
“It suddenly occurs to me that it’s not that he isn’t related, but the result is still that he’s just a junior clerk.
Could it be because you always make him feel like a child?”
“When he makes a mistake, it doesn’t matter, someone will help him clean up the mess.”
“This…” Zhang Guohua couldn’t help but ponder deeply.
Was that really the reason?
He truly didn’t understand—after all, Zhang Yi had connections, and if he had done just a few things well, that would have been enough, but somehow, he failed to do so.
If things continued this way, could he still get promoted?
Keep in mind that their contact will retire in a few years.
If he can’t get a promotion by then, he’ll have no connections for the rest of his life.
“I, I…”
“Little Yi will grow up,” Chiang Yun said gritting her teeth.
“He’s just unsettled right now.”
“Once he’s married and a father, I believe he will definitely mature.”
“He’ll definitely grow up, he’ll become sensible.”
“He’ll get promoted.”
Chiang Yun looked scornfully at Zhang Yu, “Don’t speak about others.
Have you forgotten that you were just a junior accountant before?
It’s only through your efforts that you’ve made it this far.”
“So Little Yi doesn’t need to rush.”
“It’s unreasonable.
You nearly hit forty before you applied yourself, why can’t he?”
Well, there it was—Chiang Yun had put it that way, so what could she say?
After all, she wasn’t in a position to mock Zhang Yi at all.
“Right, I can’t ridicule Xiao Yi.”
“He can take his time to grow up.”
Given Chiang Yun’s attitudes, the real issue was whether Zhang Yi would mature at all.
Forget it, he wasn’t her son, it wasn’t her concern.
Zhang Yu turned to leave.
Once she had gone, Zhang Dagu said, “I think Little Yi does need to learn to grow up, otherwise continuing like this is just not going to work.”
“After all, that person will move to a less active role next year, and then he won’t be able to help much.”
“If you have connections, of course, you can continue to give Little Yi time.”
But the problem was, what Zhang Yi lacked most now was time.
Chiang Yun could act however she wanted in front of Zhang Yu, but she dared not do the same in front of Zhang Dagu.
After all, the connection was through Zhang Dagu’s side; they, as a couple, did not have such connections.
“But Little Yi, he really has made progress,” Chiang Yun desperately tried to defend and explain on behalf of Zhang Yi.
Progress?
Zhang Dagu snorted coldly, “You think so.”
With such an overprotective attitude, could Zhang Yi really make progress?
Forget it, wasn’t it already known that this grandson was, in fact, nearly the same as a useless person?
