Shocking! The school heartthrob who was adopted by a wealthy family is actually a heiress!

Chapter 164 Zhao Zhao doesn't need to learn these things

Qin Zhao heard Lin Wanhua repeatedly refer to Lin Zheng as "A-Zheng," and assumed that Lin Zheng had at least a good relationship with her. However, he only nodded slightly in greeting, which could even be described as distant.

She found it increasingly strange.

There was a subtle quiet at the dining table.

Lin Wanhua served Lin Zheng a bowl of soup: "Zheng is still so busy. He's tired after a long day and still rushes home to eat with the kids. It's really hard work. When Grandma was alive, she always told you to take good care of yourself. Here, have a bowl of soup."

Upon hearing the mention of the old lady, Lin Zheng's expression indeed froze for a moment.

Qin Zhao looked at Qin Qiong and asked softly, "Mom, do you want some soup? I'll get you some."

Qin Qiong smiled and said, "Zhaozhao doesn't need to learn these things."

Lin Wanhua's expression changed slightly, and she said half-jokingly, "There are some things you still need to learn. Look how cheerful you were when you were little, you liked to interact with people. Zhao Zhao hasn't even greeted me since she saw me."

Qin Zhao clenched his fingers, just about to speak.

Qin Qiong said expressionlessly, "It's all my fault. I always tell her not to talk to strangers, to be more vigilant, and to stay away from people with ulterior motives."

Lin Wanhua almost burst out laughing.

Qin Qiong smiled and said, "It might be a bit too much right now. It's okay, Zhaozhao, take it slow and do whatever makes you comfortable."

“Your cousin Wanhua won’t mind.”

Lin Wanhua: "Yes, I'm fine—"

Lin Zheng smiled and said, "Then Zhao Zhao can become the president in the future. At that time, others will be the ones to put in a good word for you."

Lin Wanhua: "..."

Lin Shi thought about the scene, chuckled, and looked at Qin Zhao: "Then you need to drink more milk. If you're under 1.8 meters tall, you can only be called an entrepreneur."

Qin Zhao: "..."

That incident passed just like that.

Lin Zheng placed the soup next to Qin Qiong: "Wife, drink this."

Qin Qiong smiled faintly, his voice incredibly gentle: "Give me something you wouldn't drink?"

"..."

Lin Zheng didn't show it on his face, but handed the fish soup to Lin Shi, saying, "Take this to nourish yourself."

Lin Shi: "I don't drink fish soup!"

Lin Shi pouted angrily: "Dad, how come you can't even remember this... I did want to try it last time, thank you Dad, you're so good to me."

"..."

Under the threat of being threatened with bamboo shoots stir-fried with pork, he wisely changed his tune.

Lin Wanhua was about to leave again when Lin Zheng said, "Cousin, please sit down and eat in peace. Aunt Wang and the others will serve the food."

Aunt Wang smiled slightly, but there was a hint of impatience in her eyes: "Please sit down, we'll serve the food."

Lin Wanhua reacted as if she had seen something terrible when she saw the soup, as if she was afraid that she would get the spoon.

Lin Wanhua took a couple of bites, glanced at Aunt Wang, and gave Xia Zhirou a wink.

Aunt Wang waited until the soup was at the right temperature before placing it directly in front of them on their right.

Xia Zhirou touched the soup, spilling some from the bowl. She hissed softly and pitifully covered her hand.

When everyone's eyes fell on her, she looked at Aunt Wang and said, "Aunt Wang, do you have a problem with me?"

Before Aunt Wang could speak, she burst into tears: "This afternoon, you clearly received a call saying you needed to report to the owner. But we waited for four hours and no one came. We could only wait there with our things. People who didn't know better would think someone had instructed us to do this. But my uncle and brother... my aunt have been very kind to us."

She spoke of her aunt with a slight reluctance, as if she was forced to add the word.

“It was my fault for not handling things properly. Visitors always make an appointment and register in advance, and I make detailed arrangements. Your visit and Ms. Lin Wanhua’s visit was rather sudden, and I was unable to contact the host family at the time.”

Aunt Wang wore a polite, professional smile: "I was busy with work later and forgot about this matter. It was my oversight, and I'm really sorry."

Her words were perfectly tactful, leaving Xia Zhirou speechless.

Lin Wanhua: "It's better to make a note of important visitors. We're fine, so we don't offend any other important people."

Aunt Wang: Visitors usually make an appointment before they come.

Lin Wanhua: "..."

Aunt Wang: "But you're right, we will also keep the important visitor whitelist in mind."

"..."

Lin Wanhua was about to speak when Qin Zhaoliang called out "Mom" in a dignified manner and asked innocently:

"Should we get some water for Aunt and my cousin? They've been talking a lot." "..."

"Zhao Zhao is so considerate," Qin Qiong praised her, then looked at Lin Wanhua and Xia Zhirou, "Are you two thirsty?"

"..."

Lin Wanhua and Xia Zhirou finally fell silent under Lin Zheng's furrowed brows.

The dish that disappears the fastest on the table is definitely plum-flavored spare ribs.

Qin Zhao and Lin Shi both love to eat it.

Soon there was only one piece left.

Both of them had a rather amused expression.

When she was first recognized and brought back, Qin Zhao wouldn't touch it. Lin Shi sometimes wasn't really in the mood to eat, so she would eat the leftovers after he finished.

Later, Lin Shi discovered that she liked it too, and the two of them inexplicably started to compete.

Later on, they would always have to throw punches at each other.

Lin Shi raised an eyebrow, his face showing an expression of certain victory.

Qin Zhao slowly raised his eyelids.

Lin Shi: "Same rules as always, whoever wins eats. What are you offering?"

Qin Zhao: "I won't tell you."

Qin Qiong and Lin Zheng smiled knowingly.

Before the two could throw a punch, Lin Wanhua eagerly picked up the ribs: "I remember I loved plum ribs the most when I was little."

Lin Shi glanced at Qin Zhao subconsciously, but Qin Zhao lowered her head indifferently and continued eating her meal.

Lin Shi: "Qin Zhao also loves to eat it."

Lin Wanhua paused.

Qin Zhao also paused, her clear eyes looking at him.

"Yeah, pretty poor."

You're not going to ask me what it feels like to be poor, are you?

"Feelings you can't experience."

"You'd better never experience it."

"Why are you eating so fast? You're like a beggar."

Lin Shi made eye contact with her for two seconds.

Suddenly, a piece of pork rib appeared in Qin Zhao's bowl. She lowered her eyelashes and looked at him.

Lin glanced at him uncomfortably: "You win today, I met my sugar limit."

Lin Zheng and Qin Qiong exchanged a glance and laughed happily, "Our little boy seems to have become even more handsome."

Qin Qiong: "Being an older brother really makes a difference; I seem more manly."

Lin Shi pouted: "I've always been this handsome, okay?"

"..."

Qin Zhao: "Thank you, brother."

"No need to thank me, I just don't feel like eating today. We'll still play rock-paper-scissors next time."

The family was enjoying a happy time at the dinner table, while Lin Wanhua and Xia Zhirou seemed like outsiders.

Lin Wanhua: "Since Xiaoshi and Zhaozhao both love to eat it, Aqiong, you should arrange for someone to make more next time."

Lin Zheng: "This portion is just right. Any more and they won't be interested."

Lin Wanhua: "That's true, Ah Zheng is the most thoughtful."

"..."

Lin Wanhua: "Have you prepared everything you needed for your trip to America when you were little?"

"Alright," Lin Shi replied casually, then looked at Qin Zhao, "Why don't you sign up for a basketball lesson?"

Qin Zhao knew without even thinking that he was indirectly insulting her for being short.
