Yansheng had a cold expression and deep understanding of what was going on.

Her father actually understood everything. After all, he was an old fox who had experienced a lot for many years.

If he wanted to intervene and took care of things, there was actually nothing he couldn’t do. He was the one who held the power and wealth in this family anyway. Yingying was nothing in front of him.

Unfortunately, in her previous life, he didn’t want to be on her side.

Yansheng felt dullness deep in her heart.

A servant came over to call everyone, “Dinner is ready.”

Huan took the lead to get up and smiled. “Let’s go and have dinner.”

The whole family followed him to the dining room. Heling turned her head and shouted, “Sister, it’s time to eat.”

Everyone turned their heads and saw Yansheng still standing there, with an unpredictable expression. It was not the usual coldness and indifference, but a bit of bitterness.

“I’m not hungry, you guys eat first.” After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked down the corridor on the other side, then went upstairs.

This made Yingying upset. Her nephew came but Yansheng didn’t join them on his first meal together at their home, which clearly showed that Yansheng didn’t want to give her a face.

Zheng’s face also didn’t look good.

First, the plan for him to live in a luxurious mansion had been changed. Then, the eldest daughter, a teenage girl, who was still so ignorant and naive, didn’t know how to accompany the guest to a meal. In short, everything was not going well for him.

This man usually claimed to be mature and sophisticated. But in fact, his face was full of emotions and the dissatisfaction was clearly showing on his face now.

So how could Huan fail to understand this situation? He was also slightly embarrassed. Originally, he wanted to give consideration to the affection for a relative. Zheng was a young man who had just graduated in college. If he wanted to take care of this relative, he could just give him some training and it would be over.

He could show his affection to whomever he liked, and he would handle it by arranging something casually.

He would definitely not begged such kind of poor relative to come to him. However, if one would come and demand for him to give some face, that was completely out of question because he didn’t have a pleasing personality. He was born with a golden spoon and was raised to be fawned over by other people, so he also couldn’t stand this kind of annoying person. But he didn’t want to waste his energy to deal with it.

Then, he remembered to tell Mrs. Luo—“Yanyan is not hungry now, so don’t forget to get her something to eat later.”—just like a loving father.

After dinner, Zheng called home in the guest room and complained, “I thought we had an agreement that I will live here, and yet I was asked to go out and rent a house, so what’s the meaning of this? Why didn’t she keep her word?”

He called home so the family would naturally call Yingying.

Yingying was also annoyed. “What’s the rush, isn’t this just his first day here? He’s not going to move out immediately, okay? He’ll stay here for now. Let’s talk about arranging the work first.”

Zheng would stay at the Zhangs’ house for the meantime, so he was full of dissatisfaction. On the first night, he took pictures everywhere and posted them on his Moments, which caused a lot of envy.
