193: The Woman Cooking

After Zhao Chenlin left, Wang Cheng also drove away from the Zhou mansion. He still had some things to do. Only Mother Zheng remained in the house to accompany Old Zhou. Mother Zheng was the only member of the Zhou family and the Zheng family who had nothing to do all day long, but because of this, she and the other wives of the Imperial Capital had good relationships. A small banquet would be held every once in a while, and everyone would come together to gather, so Mother Zheng knew the most people. Wang Cheng parked his car in a nearby temporary parking space, and carried a few bags into a community only well-paid workplace elites could afford.

This community was where Wang Ning'an lived. This apartment couldn’t be bought without a net worth of millions, and Shenghui Group was no longer generous enough to give him an apartment worth more than 3 million yuan. Although Wang Ning'an did now have money, he did not lavishly buy an apartment here. Like most elites living here, he rented out, but the rent was not cheap.

Wang Ning'an received his phone call half an hour ago. At that time, he had just woken up. Due to his hangover from last night, he woke up a little bit dizzy in the morning. It happened that Wang Cheng wanted to come see him, so he simply asked for a day off.

"Don’t you need to be with your elders at home? Why do you have time for me?" Wang Ning'an opened the door to let him in, and asked him this as he walked inside.

Wang Cheng took off his shoes and put on the indoor slippers that were placed at the porch entrance. He took off the scarf wrapped around his neck and said, "My grandfather is accompanied by my mother. You have a hangover from last night and live alone. I am not rest assured, so I came over to check on you." After living with his elder brother for a while, Wang Cheng wondered how his life was now.

"That's it? There should be another purpose." Wang Ning'an glanced back at him with confidence.

Wang Cheng put the bag in the kitchen and came out to answer this unexpected question. "Elder brother, how much does the rent in this apartment cost per month?"

Wang Ning'an poured two cups of hot water, and handed him a cup. "Why are you suddenly interested in this?"

"I sorted out the birthday presents from the guests with my mom in the morning. Some guest gave me a house. I think the location of the house is quite suitable, it's not too far away from you. I heard that it is also in a high-end community. However, I have a place to live now, and I can't live in that house. So, I thought of you. "

"You should live in that house yourself, I don't need it." Wang Ning'an refused without even thinking about it. He rented this apartment for a different purpose, because he didn't plan to live here all the time.

"Why not, it's convenient for our parents and Xiao Yu if they want to see you, and they can save on rent."

In fact, Wang Cheng had already inquired that for a high-end apartment like this, the monthly rent plus various expenses should be at least 20,000 or more.

Wang Ning'an's heart warmed. "It’s fine if you have such meaning. I know you still treat me as your own brother, but I really don't need it. If our parents want to come, let them stay in my apartment directly."

"All right." Wang Cheng couldn't convince him and had to give up.

"Your brother sent me back yesterday?"

Wang Ning'an changed the subject.

Wang Cheng nodded. "Yes, what's wrong?"

Wang Ning'an shook his head. "It’s nothing. I fell asleep after arriving home last night. If you see your brother, please help me thank him."

This thank you was not only for sending him home, but also for the banquet. Without him, he would not have met so many people. After last night, Yu Hongming would only value him more, and it was more convenient for him to do things.

"I will." Wang Cheng stood up. "Elder brother, have you eaten your breakfast yet? I'll make it for you in the kitchen. When I was coming here, I stopped by the supermarket by the way."

When he first went to the kitchen, he found that there was no garbage in the trash can, and there was no trace of heat in the kitchen. He concluded that he had not had breakfast. Wang Ning'an also missed his cooking.

Wang Cheng boiled him a pot of porridge, and then cooked a few dishes with the ingredients he bought. It was almost noon when he arrived, so now he could have lunch.

When Wang Ning'an walked to the door of the kitchen, a ringtone came from his cell phone in the living room. He went back to take a look, and then the smile on his face disappeared immediately. After connecting, Yu Jing's voice came out from the phone. She had already called several times this morning, but he hadn’t answered.

"Ning'an Ge, I heard that you are resting at home today. Are you uncomfortable?" Yu Jing's voice was very brisk. Her father had liked Wang Ning'an, but did not stop her brother from testing and obstructing Wang Ning’an. Now he was different. After last night's incident, her father would no longer object, and even warned her brother to stop targeting Wang Ning'an in the future.

Wang Ning'an was on sick leave, so Yu Jing asked about it, and he responded indifferently, "En."

Yu Jing seemed to be thinking of something very happily. First, she gave a few words, and then said her true purpose of calling him after a while. "I asked the chef at home to make some delicious food for you, and I’m on the way to your place right now."

"No need." Wang Ning'an interrupted her.

"What?" Yu Jing froze.

Wang Ning'an said, "Someone is already cooking for me. You don't have to bring it, just keep the food for yourself."

After talking, he hung up.

Yu Jing shouted a few times without receiving a response, and finally realized that the call was hung up. Her good mood was gone all of a sudden. She was furious. "Damn, who dares to take a step ahead of me?" She didn't care about Wang Ning'an’s treatment of her. Her bad attitude was because she would never allow another woman to appear next to Wang Ning'an.

Wang Ning'an did not say if they were male or female, but as soon as Yu Jing heard ‘cook’, she subconsciously thought of a woman. It was impossible for it to be his relative. According to her knowledge, Wang Ning'an only had a younger sister, and that younger sister was currently studying at Beijing University. She had never heard of his family coming to visit him. So, Yu Jing considered it to be a woman.

"I, Yu Jing, won’t let another woman succeed, even if I don’t get him."

Yu Jing beat on the horn, her expression resolute and ferocious.

After the two brothers had lunch, Wang Cheng washed the dishes before leaving.

On the way, he received a call from Wang Ziyu, and realized that Beijing University would have a winter vacation the day after tomorrow, that is, January 20th. It was a bit late compared to ordinary universities.

Wang Ziyu wanted to ask him if she should return to Shanhai City with him for the winter vacation. The other students had already booked tickets long ago, but she hadn't, and that was the reason.

Wang Cheng told her they’d talk after meeting again. He put away his mobile phone and switched lanes to Beijing University. Fortunately, he hadn’t told Chu Yifeng that he was going to pass by.

When he arrived at Beijing University, the atmosphere of the school was even more tense than when he came last time. Some exams were completed in the morning, and the pressure was eased. They came out in groups of three or five, and didn't talk about the content of the exam, instead talking about what to do over winter vacation.

After all, Wang Cheng was not a student at Beijing University. He was so hot once, and now was cold. No one recognized him all the way down to the dormitory.

Wang Ziyu didn't have to take an exam in the morning. The subjects she and Mili took were all in the afternoon. Only Pang Chunjuan and Qian Baobao had finished their exams. One was eating so many snacks one couldn't see her eyes, and the other rolled on her bed. The exam was over with only two subjects. When she saw him, Qian Baobao screamed, it was too late to pretend to be a lady.

"Second brother, you came very fast." Wang Ziyu thought it would take an hour, but it didn't even take him half an hour.

"I happened to be on the road." Wang Cheng touched her head. "How was the exam?"

Before Wang Ziyu answered, Qian Baobao covered her ears and shook her head. "Don't say it, don't say it, I don't want to hear the results of a straight-A-student at all!"

In fact, Pang Chunjuan had just asked, and Wang Ziyu's answer was ‘not bad’. You must know that she had always been very humble. She said that, but she definitely did very well. Although one couldn’t guarantee that she would be the first in the grade, she would definitely be in the top three, the scholarship was properly in her pocket.

Qian Baobao was very envious. She was a lover of wealth, as could be seen from the way she acted and dressed, but she was still a long way from a straight-A-student, so she could only envy.

Wang Cheng was also very confident about his sister's performance. When they were talking, he brought up the main business.

The Qian Baobao trio were going to go home on the 20th holiday. Their school vacation was seven or eight days later than other schools, so they didn’t plan to stay for those few days. Wang Ziyu didn’t want to stay in the dormitory alone.

"I'll book the ticket. I happen to be going home. I'll accompany you."

She didn't want to get the tickets. The air traffic in and out of the Imperial Capital was so high that tickets would be snatched out in a day. At this time, you didn’t need to check to know that you couldn’t buy it, and the distance was too far to travel by road.

Qian Baobao enviously said, "It's nice to have an older brother."

Wang Ziyu smiled and hugged Wang Cheng's arm. "Of course." She figured, even if her second brother was not her second brother, in her heart, he would always be her favorite second brother. This would not change without blood.

Seeing her happy, Wang Cheng was also happy.

In order to avoid rushing the day after tomorrow, many students had begun to pack their luggage. Large items such as sheets and mattresses were not intended to be taken, but they could not gather dust. Wang Cheng packed the sheets and pillows into a large bag tightly, and tucked it under the bed. The mattress was put into the long bag that it came in when they brought it. Wang Ziyu did not lose it, and now, it came in handy. On the other hand, Qian Baobao and the others were scrambling to find their bags.
