Chapter 353: Call 1, Sister-in-law
"exist."
Huo Yan responded subconsciously and then turned to look at him.
Zhuang Zhoucheng raised his hand and rubbed her head, whispering:
"Call me Fourth Brother."
“…” Huo Yan was puzzled.
"Sister-in-law, you are calling me." The young master of the Zhuang family said with a laugh.
He turned around and said to the second and third brothers with a somewhat dry tone:
"My little sister-in-law is so cute and adorable..."
Qin Chen and Shi Zhenlin smiled and did not prepare to save the situation.
Zhuang Qianyao glared at the third brother, what an ungrateful guy!
"Hello, sister-in-law, my name is Zhuang Qianyao." Zhuang Qianyao turned around and said to Huo Yan seriously.
"Hello, Fourth Brother." Huo Yan called out obediently.
"Hey, big brother, this isn't fair. Why is it that only the fourth brother gets to be called 'brother'? Why don't my second brother and I get to enjoy this verbal advantage from my sister-in-law?"
Shi Zhenlin spoke immediately, and the awkward atmosphere eased a little.
Zhuang Zhoucheng brought Huo Yan to him, his tall body pressed against her back, his hands on her shoulders, and whispered:
"Be good, call me Third Brother or Second Brother."
Huo Yan was slightly startled, then shouted obediently:
"Third brother, second brother."
"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it, sister-in-law. This is a little gift from my brother, please accept it." Qin Chen said seriously.
Qin Chen carried that thing with him. It was not big, and the gift box was about the size of a ring box.
Qin Chen opened it, and Shi Zhenlin, with sharp eyes, recognized it and exclaimed:
"Cat's Eye?!"
That thing was a token of love given by the King of Spain to the Princess a century ago.
But after the princess's death, the jewels were stolen.
The gem was last seen in the home of an Arab crown prince half a century ago, and was later stolen.
And there has been no news for half a century.
Shi Zhenlin knew the origin of this thing only because his old man put pressure on him and helped his family organize a charity auction.
He has a slight interest in all kinds of top-quality gemstones and jewelry.
Qin Chen turned slightly to look at Shi Zhenlin and laughed out loud:
"The third brother can't even recognize a single word, yet he knows this thing?"
Rare.
Shi Zhenlin was displeased by Qin Laoer's teasing. He sighed and said:
"Hey, second brother, why are you picking on me today? After all, I've studied abroad for a few years and got a double degree in Business Administration and Economics from the University of California. Do you really think I'm just a fool?"
Qin Chen smiled and said:
"I forgot, it's because the fourth child didn't have much education."
The young master of the banker, who was shot while lying down, immediately spoke out, saying unhappily:
"What's the matter? I'm just a rough guy, so what? I didn't go to college, didn't finish high school, so what? Didn't my elder brother finish high school properly? Why don't you dare to say it? Why does my elder brother have to pick on me and make trouble?"
What's the point of a diploma?
In the army, no matter whether you graduated from a university or have a master's or doctoral degree, the training is different when you join the army, right?
None of the nerds who are good at writing have real talent.
Zhuang Zhoucheng's eyes darkened, but he didn't respond.
Huo Yan watched the brothers bickering with surprise in his eyes. He felt that these serious and famous children actually had such a down-to-earth side.
Just when I was wondering about this, I heard that Zhuang Zhoucheng did not finish high school.
This surprised her and she subconsciously turned to look at Zhuang Zhoucheng.
Zhuang Zhoucheng raised his hand and covered her doubtful eyes directly. Because facing her eyes, he couldn't speak with full confidence.
He said:
"Don't listen to their nonsense. Don't take it seriously."
"Oh..." Huo Yan responded softly.
Although Zhuang Zhoucheng did not explain, it was easy to guess that most of the documents he read were in English, with occasional use of other languages.
She undoubtedly didn't understand, so she was surprised by what the banker said.
Huo Yan pushed the emerald and said seriously:
"Brother, this is too expensive. I can't accept it."
If she took their things, wouldn't that be tantamount to acknowledging her relationship with Zhuang Zhoucheng?
She felt that they must have made a mistake.
She was just a poor creature that Zhuang Zhoucheng adopted when he was bored.
No real plans to get married.
As soon as Huo Yan finished speaking, Zhuang Zhoucheng said:
"Since it is a gift from my second brother, then accept it."
Although this gem is valuable, the ones he gave her the first two times are not much inferior.
It’s a pity that the second son’s women are not lucky enough to enjoy him.
"But, it's too expensive, Zhuang Zhoucheng..." Huo Yan hesitated and looked up at Zhuang Zhoucheng.
"How about, big brother, please accept it on behalf of my sister-in-law?" Qin Chen said.
Zhuang Zhoucheng nodded and accepted it without any hesitation.
Huo Yan was dumbfounded. He didn't even need to ask how much these things were worth to guess they were not cheap.
But in their hands, it can be transferred freely at will.
Huo Yan looked at him with his head lowered, saying nothing more. He stood beside Zhuang Zhoucheng very quietly and obediently.
Later, the things that Shi Zhenlin and Zhuang Qianyao bought were also valuable and rare, which also shows the importance of Zhuang Zhoucheng in their hearts.
Zhuang Zhoucheng naturally accepted all the gifts.
This has a different meaning, so he naturally won't refuse.
Several brothers were talking about business, government, and both the black and white worlds. The topics covered were very wide and the subject changed quickly.
It is probably to prevent people around from understanding, and most of the words are in foreign languages.
Of course, it's not English either.
Zhuang Zhoucheng had been holding Huo Yan's hand with his big palm. His focused expression suddenly froze. He looked at Huo Yan sideways and whispered:
"If you're not interested, just go over there and chat with those ladies. Talk about things that interest women, ok?"
Zhuang Zhoucheng looked at the ones Qin Chen brought with him, the ones who were playing billiards when they first came in.
When Qin Chen chooses a woman, he will naturally choose one with good manners.
Even though they are all posing coquettishly, the girl is much more graceful when doing it.
There is temptation, but no pornographic elements.
"But I don't know him." Huo Yan said in a low voice.
It's not that she doesn't want to take the initiative to contact people, but...
Compared to those who look like ladies and socialites, she is just a girl, several levels lower than them.
What is there to say?
He didn't say a word before he came. It was such a situation. He just said he wanted to meet his friend as soon as he entered the door. This was purely to make fun of her.
