Chapter 107: Meeting Third Uncle - in - law Again

It was indeed Third Uncle - in - law!

Chu Tian smiled faintly, touched his nose, and said, "Third Uncle - in - law, what's there to be embarrassed about?"

Yao Xinrou looked at Chu Tian in surprise, then at Third Uncle - in - law. Clearly, she didn't expect them to be relatives. She thought to herself that luckily she had behaved well in front of Third Uncle - in - law; otherwise, it would have been troublesome.

Seeing Chu Tian, Third Uncle - in - law was obviously taken aback. Then he laughed heartily and said, "Chu Tian, what are you doing here?" Then, noticing the ambiguous look in Yao Xinrou's eyes towards Chu Tian, he immediately understood. "So you know Nurse Xinrou. You just happened to run into me. I thought so. I didn't tell you I was coming back. How could you have known?"

Third Uncle - in - law, like a child, looked at Yao Xinrou and then at Chu Tian with an unfathomable smile. These two kids really seemed well - matched.

Yao Xinrou blushed under Third Uncle - in - law's gaze. Chu Tian quickly broke the ice and said, "Third Uncle - in - law, why didn't you let us know when you came back? Even if you had important matters and couldn't meet us, when you got sick, you should have informed me."

Third Uncle - in - law coughed, cleared his throat, and said, "This time I came back for a project cooperation with the city government. I was really busy. I just finished the negotiations a few days ago. I was going to look for you, but then I suddenly caught a cold and had a slight fever. Besides, you were in the middle of the college entrance examination. How could I inform you and distract you?"

Chu Tian thought it made sense. He would probably have the same thought in such a situation. Then, changing the topic, he said, "Third Uncle - in - law, since you don't have a good appetite, what would you like to eat? I'll take you there."

Third Uncle - in - law looked at Chu Tian's sincere face, smiled, and said, "Actually, I just want a bowl of Jidi Porridge."

Suddenly, Chu Tian thought of Sister Mei's porridge - cooking skills. An idea popped into his mind. "Third Uncle - in - law, how about I take you to have the best Jidi Porridge?"

Third Uncle - in - law nodded happily, his face showing excitement, as if his illness had already improved a lot. Yao Xinrou hesitated for a moment and then said slowly, "Chu Tian, is that place far? I have to change shifts in the afternoon."

Third Uncle - in - law laughed heartily and said confidently, "Nurse Xinrou, it's okay. I'll just have a word with the director. He's my high - school classmate. He'll give me this little face."

Chu Tian was slightly stunned. Third Uncle - in - law was really straightforward and optimistic. With his wealth and his relationship with the director, he could easily be admitted to the best ward. But he chose to stay in such an ordinary single ward. It seemed that the older generation was used to enduring hardships and being thrifty. No wonder Third Uncle - in - law had amassed such a large fortune. The more capable people are, the more down - to - earth they are. These are really good qualities to learn from.

Apparently, Yao Xinrou didn't know that Third Uncle - in - law was worth hundreds of millions. Hearing that the director was his high - school classmate, her eyes blinked non - stop.

Remembering something, Chu Tian seized the opportunity. "Third Uncle - in - law, I need to trouble you with something. Could you talk to the director and transfer Nurse Xinrou to another position?" Then Chu Tian told him about the humiliation Yao Xinrou had almost suffered this morning. Although Third Uncle - in - law was old, he still got very angry. The more he listened, the angrier he became. He almost rolled up his sleeves and went to fight those foreigners.

After listening, Third Uncle - in - law thought for a moment and said, "Nurse Xinrou, how about this? If you're willing, you can be my personal nurse. I'm getting old, and I need someone to take care of my minor illnesses. Your professional skills are just right for this. I'll double your salary compared to what you get at the Oriental Hospital. In a few days, you can come with me to Beijing. Once in Beijing, you'll have more chances to see Chu Tian."

Chu Tian couldn't help but sigh. Ginger is indeed spicier when it's old. Third Uncle - in - law was really shrewd. He had only expected Third Uncle - in - law to use his personal connections to make a small adjustment for Yao Xinrou, but he came up with such a great solution. His mind was truly extraordinary. Before Yao Xinrou could answer, Chu Tian quickly said, "Thank you, Uncle - in - law. You don't have many relatives around you. With Xinrou taking care of you, I, as a younger generation, will feel much more at ease."

Only then did Yao Xinrou come to her senses. Such a good thing had actually happened to her. It seemed that Chu Tian's Third Uncle - in - law had quite an impressive background. Her salary would double, and she could go to Beijing. Most importantly, Chu Tian would also be in Beijing. So, she murmured, "Is it true? Am I dreaming?"

Chu Tian patted her head to wake her up. "Yao girl, from now on, my Third Uncle - in - law's health is in your hands. Take good care of him."

Yao Xinrou saluted and said seriously, "I promise to complete the mission." Third Uncle - in - law and Chu Tian both laughed at Yao Xinrou's expression.

Outside the door, Tian Yangsheng showed a rare smile at the corner of his mouth.

After getting in the car, Third Uncle - in - law couldn't help but take a few more glances at Tian Yangsheng. He wondered when Chu Tian had such a powerful person by his side. He remembered what the private detective had told him a few days ago. Chu Tian used to have poor academic performance at Tiandu Middle School. Later, due to the insurance money, he was kicked out of the house by Chu Xinxin's family. After being taken in by Lin Yuqing's daughter, the 'Iron - Faced Judge', Chu Tian started to work hard, and his grades got better and better. He was astonishing in the final exams. While achieving excellent results himself, he also helped other underachievers turn things around. In the past six months, he had painstakingly raised the average academic performance of the underachievers by nearly a hundred points, becoming the most popular person in Tiandu Middle School. Later, because of Third Uncle - in - law's appearance and the temptation of a huge amount of assets, Chu Tian was framed several times by Chu Xinxin's family. Fortunately, Chu Tian saw through their schemes. But Chu Tian was kind - hearted by nature and never thought of taking revenge on Chu Xinxin's family. Recently, there were rumors that Chu Xinxin's mother had hired someone to kill.

Third Uncle - in - law sighed. Could it be that Chu Tian had heard that Chu Xinxin's mother had hired someone to deal with him, so he hired such a bodyguard to protect himself? Third Uncle - in - law regretted telling them about choosing an heir so early. He didn't expect that it would put Chu Tian in danger several times. He had always thought that family affection was the most important thing, but it seemed that this concept only applied to the kind - hearted Chu Tian. Chu Xinxin's family, on the other hand, was obsessed with money. They even hired someone to deal with Chu Tian for the sake of his assets. Such a heartless act was really chilling. By comparison, it was clear who was better and who was worse. Third Uncle - in - law decided that it was time to make an appointment with the lawyer to determine the candidate.

Chu Tian had already called Sister Mei and told her that Third Uncle - in - law wanted to drink Jidi Porridge at noon. So, as soon as they entered the second - floor of the Carefree Tavern, the aroma of the porridge base was already wafting out. Seeing that they had arrived, Sister Mei smiled gently, introduced herself大方, and then shook hands with Third Uncle - in - law and Yao Xinrou one by one. When she shook Yao Xinrou's hand, she couldn't help but take a few more glances. She was really a charming girl. No wonder during that period, her brother seemed so troubled.

Just as everyone sat down politely, Lin Yuting rushed out of the room, sweating all over, holding a large pile of books. Seeing Chu Tian's guests, she threw the books into the room with a 'crash' and ran to Third Uncle - in - law, excitedly saying, "Are you Chu Tian's Third Uncle - in - law? You're so cute!" Lin Yuting's childlike nature showed. Seeing this old man who might leave Chu Tian 130 million yuan as an inheritance, she felt particularly affectionate. She wanted to flatter him but could only come up with the word 'cute'.

Seeing the innocent - minded Lin Yuting, Third Uncle - in - law was also very happy. He said heartily, "Yes, I'm Third Uncle - in - law. You're the daughter of Prosecutor Lin, right? Your father is a great man." Third Uncle - in - law naturally knew Lin Yuqing's reputation and had great respect for that honest official in his heart. So, when he saw Lin Yuting, he couldn't help but praise.

Lin Yuting was very proud. She took a tissue to wipe the sweat and said, "Third Uncle - in - law, you're really full of vitality!" No one knew why this girl came up with such a word. Everyone burst into laughter.

Suddenly, Lin Yuting's eyes stopped. She noticed that Yao Xinrou's eyes always drifted towards Chu Tian, consciously or unconsciously. Feeling a bit jealous, she said, "Who is this sister?" Lin Yuting emphasized the word'sister'.

Yao Xinrou was an understanding girl. She had already guessed Lin Yuting's little - girl thoughts. Probably because Lin Yuting had lived with Chu Tian for a long time, she had developed feelings for him, so she had an inexplicable hostility and vigilance towards herself. Yao Xinrou didn't want to cause trouble for Chu Tian. Besides, she felt very happy just being one of Chu Tian's women. She didn't care much about other things like名分. So, before Chu Tian could speak, she said preemptively, "You're so cute, little sister. My name is Yao Xinrou. I'm Mr. Chu's personal nurse."

So she was Third Uncle - in - law's personal nurse. No wonder they showed up together. Lin Yuting let out a long sigh of relief and became relaxed. She called out sweetly, "Sister Xinrou."

Sister Mei was walking over with a pot of steaming porridge. Hearing the conversation between Xinrou and Lin Yuting, she also sighed inwardly. Xinrou was really considerate and kind - hearted. No wonder her brother was troubled because of her. Sister Mei put the porridge on the table, placed the green - colored small bowls, and then said, "Come on, everyone, have some Jidi Porridge."

When the porridge was served in the bowls, it had an enticing aroma and an attractive appearance. Even Tian Yangsheng, who wasn't particularly interested in porridge, felt an appetite.

Third Uncle - in - law quickly took a sip. It was really delicious. He said to Chu Tian happily, "Chu Tian, how is this porridge made?"

Chu Tian knew that the old - fashioned and playful Third Uncle - in - law was asking him instead of Sister Mei, obviously wanting to test him again. He took a sip of the Jidi Porridge and said with a charming smile, "Sister Mei must have spent a lot of thought on this pot of Jidi Porridge. It's exquisitely made, fresh, and delicious. The porridge base is carefully cooked with ingredients like scallops, dried beancurd sticks, and pork bones, so it has a particularly delicious taste. The meatballs are made with a ratio of 70% lean meat and 30% fatty meat, which are well - mixed, making the meatballs especially fresh and springy. The pig liver and pork tripe are also fresh, making the porridge even more delicious and unique in flavor."

Sister Mei smiled faintly. "My brother is really an extraordinary person."

Downstairs, Tian Yangsheng, who was drinking porridge and biting beef jerky alone, nodded slightly.
