CHAPTER 166: CHAPTER 166: ENCOUNTERING ZHENG SHAOCHEN

Upon hearing that Gu Nian had some serious business, Mrs. Jiang instantly agreed, "Alright, then I’ll first accompany you to Qinglin Restaurant to find your big brother!"

After speaking, Mrs. Jiang instructed her two younger sons, "Sanhu, Little Hu, you two stay here and help your second brother earn some money, don’t run around!"

"Got it." The two little guys said as they nimbly started preparing things.

It was rare for Mrs. Jiang to come to town, she had only been here once when she first brought her eldest son to the restaurant for his apprenticeship.

As soon as she reached the entrance of the restaurant, she began to feel a bit restrained.

Gu Nian held Mrs. Jiang’s hand and reminded, "Mom, every time Dad and I come here, he always goes through the back door to call someone."

"Then... let’s also go to the back door." After saying this, Mrs. Jiang was about to leave with Gu Nian.

But as soon as they turned, someone stopped them.

"Hey, little girl, we meet again!" Zheng Shaochen looked at Gu Nian with burning eyes and asked, "Are you planning to dine in the restaurant? Want big brother to take you in?"

"Niannian, this is..." Mrs. Jiang didn’t recognize Gu Shaochen, but seeing that he seemed to know her daughter, she asked.

Only then did Zheng Shaochen notice Mrs. Jiang holding Gu Nian’s hand and he politely made a gesture, "Madam, I am Nan Jin Yu’s cousin. I’ve met this little girl at my cousin’s house before, that’s why I came to say hello."

Mrs. Jiang looked at Gu Nian and seeing Gu Nian nod, she felt relieved, "Oh, so you’re Young Master Nan’s cousin. You’re very polite, but we’re not here to eat, I’m bringing Niannian to see my eldest son."

It was clear from his dress that this young master was extraordinary. Although he wasn’t as handsome as Young Master Nan, his attire was even more eye-catching than Young Master Nan’s.

"Your eldest son is in this restaurant?" Zheng Shaochen was rarely this polite to people, but it was also for the sake of Nan Jin Yu.

After all, he had heard from Wuming that his cousin was quite fond of this little girl, even teaching her to read personally. This kind of honor made her absolutely the first person to receive it.

"Mrs. Jiang nodded, "That’s right, he’s apprenticing in the kitchen of this restaurant."

"That’s perfect, come with me inside then." With that, Zheng Shaochen headed towards the restaurant.

Mrs. Jiang didn’t dare to follow, but since Zheng Shaochen had spoken, she found herself in an awkward predicament.

Gu Nian squeezed Mrs. Jiang’s palm and said, "Thank this young master for his kindness, but we’re just here to say a few words to my big brother, we’ll meet him through the back door, there’s no need to trouble the young master."

Zheng Shaochen stopped his steps, turned back to look at Gu Nian, and a trace of interest began to appear in his eyes.

How interesting, no wonder she could make his cousin treat her differently.

As part of the richest family, the Zheng Family, in Yunyao, there had been many people eager to curry favor with Zheng Shaochen since he was born.

Of course, since he was the son of a businessman, he had to lower his head when encountering extraordinary family backgrounds. But looking at this little girl’s attire, at most she was dressed like an ordinary rural family, yet she could remain so calm in front of him, not intimidated at all.

She was performing much better than the woman beside her.

"Little girl, do you know who I am?" Zheng Shaochen thought that maybe she didn’t know his identity.

Gu Nian smiled slightly, "Aren’t you Young Master Nan’s cousin?"

Zheng Shaochen nodded, "Yes, but I have another identity, which is the Young Master of this Qinglin Restaurant."

"And what does that have to do with me?" Gu Nian asked, shrugging her shoulders, looking at Zheng Shaochen as if he were a peacock showing off.
