Quick Transmigration: Why did you provoke him? He's love-struck!

Chapter 605 Dawn (11)

His expression was cold: "Second Uncle and Second Aunt, is there something you need?"

The man was in his thirties and had a somewhat simple and honest appearance. The shrewd-looking woman next to him nudged him with her elbow, and he then stepped forward with a smile and handed Jing Chen a bag of peanuts: "These are peanuts we grew ourselves. Try them."

After Uncle Jing finished speaking, Aunt Jing chimed in, "Yes, I brought it especially for you. It's so sweet."

“I’m allergic to peanuts, so I can’t eat them,” Jing Chen refused. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll go home now.”

"Hey, hey, hey!" His second aunt quickly stopped him, her tone tinged with reproach. "What's wrong with you, child? Your second uncle and I took the bus into the city early this morning to see you, and this is how you treat us? How did your parents raise you? You have no manners at all."

My parents are dead.

Second Aunt: "..."

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, the second uncle quickly changed the subject: "Xiao Chen, since you're on winter vacation, come back to the countryside with us for a while. Your cousin misses you a lot. I'll send you back after the New Year."

"No, I'm not used to the dry toilets in the countryside."

Second Uncle: "..."

This effectively shut down Uncle Jing's reason for moving, since Uncle Jing wouldn't build another toilet just for him.

Auntie frowned, her shrewd face revealing a hint of harshness: "Xiao Chen, it's not that I'm criticizing you, but your parents are gone, and you don't have a guardian to look after you. If something happens to you, the only ones who can help you are your relatives. With your attitude now, are you trying to distance yourself from us?"

Jing Chen glanced at her and said sarcastically, "Last year, my parents passed away. Rumors spread in the factory that the accident was caused by my father's operational error. Not only would there be no compensation, but my family would also have to pay hundreds of millions in damages for the accident. What was your attitude at the time?"

I was home alone with a high fever when the factory manager called you, hoping you could come and help take care of me. You said on the phone that you didn't know my father.

Second Uncle and Second Aunt: "..."

"The bond between your family and my family was severed the moment my parents passed away. Everyone knows why you've come here today," Jing Chen said coldly. "I'm not a child you can manipulate. If you dare to mess with me, I'll make you pay the price!"

After making those harsh words, Jing Chen got on his bicycle and left with Yan Zhen.

His second uncle and aunt watched him leave, and it was only then that they noticed Yan Zhen in the back seat of the car.

My aunt asked, "Who is that child?"

Second Uncle shook his head: "I don't know either..."

After thinking for a while, Auntie patted Uncle on the shoulder and said, "Let's go to his house and take a look."

When Jing Chen's father, Jing Ming, was still alive, he helped his younger brother's family who lived in the countryside a lot. Whenever Uncle Jing came to the city, he would stay at Jing Chen's house.

The couple followed Jingchen all the way and watched him enter the residential area with a little girl on the back of his bicycle. The two looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Does this child live with Jingchen?" Jing's second aunt said. "I haven't heard that the eldest son's eldest daughter was born."

Uncle Jing said, "Could it be the child of a relative of Jing Chen's mother?"

Upon hearing this, Aunt Jing Er immediately slapped her thigh in alarm: "Oh no, someone else beat us to it!"

Upon hearing this, my second uncle immediately tried to rush upstairs.

His second aunt quickly grabbed him: "No! Given Jingchen's attitude towards us, we'll be kicked out if we go up now."

Reminded by his second aunt, his second uncle calmed down: "What do we do now?"

"let me see……"

Instead of rushing upstairs to knock on the door, the two found a relatively secluded spot in the courtyard downstairs and squatted down, watching the neighbors coming and going, looking for an opportunity.

It wasn't until she saw a somewhat familiar-looking girl come down that Aunt Jing recognized her as the daughter of Jing Chen's neighbor, who seemed to be surnamed Wang.

She immediately stood up and waved to the girl: "Wang family's little girl, come here, come here."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaomin walked over with a puzzled look, keeping a certain distance from the man and woman in front of her, and asked warily, "Who are you...?"

Just as Uncle Jing was about to speak, his aunt nudged him with her elbow, and he immediately shut up.

“We’re relatives of the Jing family next door. We even met last year, don’t you remember?”

Hearing her say that, Wang Xiaomin remembered that when the Jing family's uncle and aunt were still alive, the couple would bring their children over to play every now and then. Every time they left, they would carry big bags and small bags like they were buying goods, and they would even take the garbage bags that Jing Chen's mother bought.

Her mother often complained that Jing's relatives were too bizarre.

"Oh, it's you. What's the matter?"

"Hey, it's winter break now, so I was thinking of picking up Xiao Chen to go to the countryside for a few days. But when I went upstairs just now, he wasn't back yet, and no one was home." Aunt Jing lied through her teeth. "Do you know when Xiao Chen will be back?"

Wang Xiaomin shook her head: "I don't know either."

Aunt Jing looked troubled and said to Uncle Jing, "Honey, why don't we go buy groceries first? We can cook when Xiao Chen and her sister come back, eat, and then leave so as not to delay our return home... Hey, Wang girl, do you see Xiao Chen's sister often? Do you know what she likes to eat?"

Wang Xiaomin, unsuspecting, said, "Zhenzhen likes to eat shrimp and crab. Last time I saw Jingchen make her steamed egg with milk in it."

Shrimp, crab, steamed eggs with milk—Aunt Jing was green with envy as she listened.

Their own son can only eat pork and vegetables in the countryside, but Jingchen is doing well, using his parents' pension to feed others seafood every day!

Aunt Jing suddenly felt a pang of heartache, as if her money had been spent by unrelated people.

"Zhenzhen?" Aunt Jing continued to inquire discreetly, "So that's your sister's name. It's so pretty."

Wang Xiaomin said, "Yes, Zhenzhen is very well-behaved. My mother often praises her for being sensible."

"Really? I haven't met Zhenzhen yet. Xiaochen only told me on the phone that he has a younger sister." Aunt Jing said with a smile, "Is there anyone else in Xiaochen's family besides Zhenzhen?"

Wang Xiaomin shook her head: "No."

"Do you know where Zhenzhen is from? How long has she lived here?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaomin became alert. Since these two people were Jing Chen's relatives and claimed to be there to take Jing Chen to the countryside for winter vacation...

Since Jing Chen had already informed them of Yan Zhen's existence over the phone, why did they still need to ask him for this information?

They could have asked Jingchen themselves.

"I don't know, I'm going home." After saying that, Wang Xiaomin ignored the calls from Uncle Jing and his wife, turned around and ran away in a flash.

Aunt Jing spat out "You brat" and looked at Uncle Jing: "This girl is probably a relative of Jing Chen's mother. She was either sent over to enjoy the good life or to reserve a spot so that she can get a share of the pie later."

Uncle Jing asked, "Then what should we do?"

"Can't you use your brain to think? All you do when you encounter a problem is ask what to do!" Aunt Jing said irritably.

Uncle Jing: "..."

"We need to find a way to get rid of that girl. We can't let her stay there eating shrimp and crabs every day," said Aunt Jing.
