Chapter 151 - Breakfast
At this moment, Cheng Che who had just taken a seat at the dining table overheard Jiang Jin"s words and said after taking a big sip of coffee, "Grandma, you must live to 100!"
Jiang Jin studied Cheng Che"s face and asked, "Why are your dark circles so bad?"
Cheng Che took a bite of the toast that had been prepared before he said with a sigh, "It"s the end of the year; there are too many things to deal with in the company. However, brother is always slacking off and shoving all the work to me. Grandma, you have to scold him. He"s been too idle recently and not doing his job!" After he finished complaining, he glanced at the staircase as though confirming his words were not overheard by Mu Chen.
Jiang Jin narrowed her eyes and asked jokingly, "Cheng Che, do you plan to be as lazy as Mu Chen?"
Cheng Che nodded before he quickly shook his head. "How can that be? If both of us are lazy, what will happen to the company?"
Jiang Jin shook her in exasperation. "Cheng Che, tell me if you want to rest…"
Cheng Che sighed. "Grandma, I"ve only slept three hours a day for the past week…"
Jiang Jin pointed upstairs and said, "Your brother is probably going to sleep in…"
Cheng Che took a bite of the toast before he said through gritted teeth, "How"s this fair?"
He put the toast down, about to rise from his seat when Jiang Jin stopped him and asked, "Where are you going?"
"I"m going to wake Brother Chen up! Why can he sleep in?" Cheng Che said, expressing his dissatisfaction.
"Because he has a wife, and you"re single!" Jiang Jin replied domineeringly.
Cheng Che said, crestfallen, "Grandma, how can you discriminate against single people?"
Jiang Jin patted Cheng Che"s hand and said with a smile, "Well, there"s nothing I can do about it. However, I have a solution for you…"
Cheng Che looked at Jiang Jin curiously upon hearing these words.
"Find a wife for yourself…" Jiang Jin said with a smile.
Cheng Che choked on his coffee and coughed violently before he grabbed a piece of tissue to wipe his mouth.
Cheng Che complained, aggrieved, "Grandma, I"m not lucky like my brother. As soon as he went out, he picked up a wife!"
At this moment, Mu Chen"s faint voice rang from the stairs. "Who are you talking about?"
Jiang Jin turned and saw her grandson holding the hand of her well-dressed and gentle daughter-in-law. She could not but feel happy all over again.
"Song Ning, come here quickly. I"ve asked Ah Yu to stew some bird"s nests for you. Drink it while it"s hot!"
Sister Yu brought a bowl of stewed bird"s nest and placed it in front of Song Ning with a big smile on her face.
The two elders looked at Song Ning and urged her, "Hurry up and drink it while it"s hot."
As for the two grandsons, it was as though they did not exist.
Song Ning looked at Jiang Jin and Sister Yu in confusion.
Jiang Jin said, "You"re a doctor; you should take good care of yourself."
Song Ning only nodded and obediently drank the stewed bird"s nest.
The two elders wore a satisfied expression as they watched Song Ning drink the stewed bird"s nest.
Meanwhile, Mu Chen pushed a gla.s.s of milk in front of Song Ning as he asked Cheng Che, "What"s the progress of the five mergers?"
Cheng Che looked at Mu Chen resentfully. "President Mu, can you please be reasonable? This is clearly your job, but you shoved them to me. Not only that, but you even dare to ask me about the progress!"
Mu Chen took a sip of his coffee before he replied, "Didn"t you hear Grandma? You"re single, and I have a wife. It"s natural that you have to pick up some of my work. I have to accompany my wife after all. Right, Grandma?"
Jiang Jin nodded with a smile before she comforted Cheng Che. "Your brother really isn"t trying to bully you this time. You"ll understand once you have a wife. At that time, you"ll be able to sleep in as well…"
Upon hearing the implications of Jiang Jin"s words, Song Ning"s face flushed red immediately.
Cheng Che sighed. "Fine. Then, I"ll stay single for the time being. Otherwise, who will do all the work?"
Jiang Jin hit Cheng Che"s arms. "You useless thing! Why don"t you think about marrying Jiahui as soon as possible?"
Cheng Che said, aggrieved, "Grandma, I"m not lucky like my brother. I can"t get married just because I want to. For me, my spring has barely begun. Grandma, you have to be patient…"
Jiang Jin said disappointedly, "You handled the matters in the company so well. Why is it so difficult for you to marry a wife? Tell me, what is so difficult? Grandma will help you!"
Upon hearing these words, Cheng Che waved his hand and hastily said, "No, no, no. I can do it myself!"
Jiang Jin said threateningly, "Let me tell you, I only approve of Jiahui. You better work quickly! I"m old now; you can"t make me wait for too long!"
Cheng Che nearly choked on his food. "Grandma! Why are you saying this? Didn"t you say earlier that you"ll work hard to live to 100 years old?"
Jiang Jin did not care about what she said earlier.. "I want to see your brother and your sister-in-law giving birth to a great-grandson for me. You"ll be a sinner if you anger me to death because you fail to marry a wife!"
