Chapter 63: The Cousin's Son Arrives

"Yes!" Jin Yu immediately took the six little darlings to her room.

The servants hurried to tidy up the clothes and toys.

Just as they finished, Zhou Tian barged in.

"Little cousin uncle, nice to see you’re doing well." Zhou Tian walked into the living room without any inhibition, complaining upon seeing Chen Yu.

"Little cousin uncle, your assistant is really unsociable. I wanted to see you, but he wouldn't let me, even said I needed an appointment. This isn't a company, do I need an appointment to visit your house?"

Although Zhou Tian called Gong Xinyi 'little cousin uncle', they were actually the same age, with Zhou Tian being just a few months younger.

Zhou Tian's mother was Gong Xinyi's cousin, the daughter of Gong Xinyi's uncle's family, technically not related by blood to the Gong family.

However, his cousin worked as a servant in the Gong family when she was young and was deeply favored by the elder Mrs. Gong. Because of this connection, the elder Mrs. Gong took special care of Zhou Tian.

Relying on the elder Mrs. Gong's favor, Zhou Tian acted like he mattered in the Gong family, although Gong Xinyi has always disliked him, wishing he could get rid of him altogether.

"A heads-up wouldn't hurt. I could have had the butler prepare some food for you," Gong Xinyi said with a stern face.

"No need for anything special, anything will do," Zhou Tian said, making his way to the dining room.

The bowls and spoons of the six little darlings had not yet been cleared away, and Zhou Tian, seeing the cartoon-themed tableware, was quite curious.

"Little cousin uncle, your place looks like a kindergarten. Where did all these children's bowls come from?"

"Hey, don't touch that; those are for the servants." Jin Yu hurried over, signaling the servants with her eyes, "Aren't you going to take your bowls away?"

The servants quickly collected the six little darlings' bowls and spoons.

Zhou Tian couldn't help but exclaim, "My goodness, the servants eat so well, even sharing the table with the master! Little cousin uncle, you're too good to your servants."

"Of course, everyone is equal," Gong Xinyi said expressionlessly, thinking of Zhou Tian's mother, "Your mom was a servant, too, and she dined at the same table as my grandmother, didn't she?"

Zhou Tian immediately became agitated, "That's not the same! My mom... my mom's status was higher than theirs... never mind, let's not talk about it."

He served himself some food from the kitchen and began to eat at the table without regard for others.

"Wow, the servants' meals... are too exquisite, too luxurious..."

Zhou Tian marveled as he ate.

Gong Xinyi frowned throughout, and when Zhou Tian was nearly done eating, he coldly said, "Next time you want to freeload a meal, go to my grandmother's house. Aside from your mom, there's only my grandmother at home. Visit her often, and she'll like you even more."

"You don't have to tell me that. I'll definitely visit often," Zhou Tian said, his mouth full of food, making his words indistinct.

After finishing his meal, Gong Xinyi thought he would leave, but then Zhou Tian served himself a full bowl of soup.

Gong Xinyi was extremely annoyed. If it weren't for worrying about the six little darlings being discovered by Zhou Tian, he would have stayed far away from him, not spending a second in the living room.

"Little cousin uncle, no offense," Zhou Tian said as he sipped his soup, "but it's time you settled down. You're almost 30 and not in a hurry. If not now, when? Grandma... oh, no, great-grandma is eager to hold a great-grandchild."

"What does that have to do with you?" Gong Xinyi's face was frosty.

"How does it not? Great-grandma gave me a mission. Once I entered the Gong family, I must urge you to find a partner. If you get a girlfriend within three months, I'll be made permanent. If you don't, I have to leave the company. Tell me, isn't that unfair?"

It was somewhat unfair. A slight schadenfreude smile appeared on the corners of Gong Xinyi's mouth.
