Chapter 200: Nan Ge l s Little Uncle
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Nan Ge did not like such occasions and knew that her youngest uncle was doing this for her own good.
After all, in the capital’s circles, one had to have connections. His youngest uncle’s parents had separated a long time ago. Because his maternal grandfather had some status in the local circle and only had one grandson, he kept him by his side and changed his surname.
Until now, her youngest uncle seemed to have only stayed in Jiang City for three to four years. Most of his life was spent in the capital.
Looking at his age, her youngest uncle seemed to be the same age as Shen Yanqing. He was young because although her youngest uncle’s father and her grandfather were biological brothers, they were more than ten years apart.
She and her youngest uncle would only meet during the holidays. The last time her grandmother celebrated her birthday, her youngest uncle was delayed by something and did not come.
However, the two of them still kept in touch in private and often chatted. Because she was the youngest among the juniors and the only girl, her youngest uncle basically agreed to everything she asked and was extremely generous.
Since Nan Zhe had been strict with her in recent years, she did not dare to talk to her youngest uncle.
Otherwise, she would have bought her new car long ago.
With anxiety in her heart, Nan Ge followed the driver in. As soon as she entered the lobby, she was attracted by the decor. If she did not know better, she would have thought that she had entered a palace.
The driver left after sending her to the door. The waiter brought her in.
As soon as she pushed the door open, Nan Ge heard the conversation inside. It was all men.
When they reached the innermost area, there was a round table that could accommodate more than 20 people. However, only five men in formal attire were sitting there.
Her youngest uncle was sitting in the second seat on the left.
“Little Uncle.”
As soon as she spoke, everyone present looked up in her direction.
Nan Ge bowed slightly in greeting.
“You’re here.”
Her youngest uncle quickly got up and beckoned to her. “Youyou, come over.”
She stepped forward and stood obediently. Her youngest uncle hooked his arm around her shoulder and introduced her to the others with a smile. “This is my eldest brother’s youngest daughter, Nan Ge. Just call her Youyou, like me.”
“Come, these are my good friends. You can call them Uncle.”
Nan Ge agreed.
After sitting down, she heard her youngest uncle’s introduction and found out that the other four people present were his childhood friends. They had all grown up in a military compound and their parents knew each other very well. Therefore, their relationship was not something ordinary friends could compare to.
“My little niece is very promising. She might look silly, but she’s actually very smart. In the future, if she really stays with us after graduation, you have to help me take care of her. She is the Nan family’s treasure.”
“If anything happens on my territory, I won’t have the cheek to offer incense to my ancestors in the future.”
Her youngest uncle was also a talkative person, and he was very similar to Nan Zhe. In addition, their ages were not much different, so their relationship was very good. Compared to her two biological uncles, Nan Zhe, and her youngest uncle interacted more.
When they interacted, her youngest uncle did not have the airs of an elder. In fact, they usually did not address each other as uncle and nephew. They were like friends. They could chat and play together.
Nan Zhe had learned how to smoke in junior high school because of his youngest uncle’s bad influence. When Nan Zhe first started his own business, his uncle was involved in half of the businesses.
Her mother always said in private that her youngest uncle and Nan Zhe were like scum versus scum. When two naughty boys with similar temperaments met, you couldn’t expect them to do anything good. They were most likely up to no good.
Just as the driver had said, this meal was not as scary as Nan Ge had imagined. They treated her well and would not deliberately find vulgar topics.
When they were discussing serious matters, they would occasionally ask her a couple of professional questions. It did not seem like they were making things difficult for her, but more like they were guiding a junior.
Nan Ge did not feel nervous. Slowly, she liked this atmosphere.
No one ordered alcohol tonight. They were just having a meal together.
In the car on the way back, Nan Ge finally dared to ask, “Little Uncle, why did some of them call you Fourth Brother?”
At dinner just now, two men called him that.
“By age. Those two are two years younger than me. Didn’t I tell you that we were childhood friends who grew up together?”
Her youngest uncle lit a cigarette and tilted his head to pinch her face. “It you come here to study or work in the future and I’m not around, you can look for them for help. Oh right, one of them isn’t here yet. I’ll introduce you to him when I have the chance.”
“Just remember that looking for them is no different from looking for me. You don’t have to be shy.”
“Uh huh…” Nan Ge nodded.
“Are you and Shen Yanqing still dating?
“Uh huh.”
“Tsk.” Her youngest uncle suddenly laughed with a cigarette in his mouth. Then, he leaned in front of her and gave her a thumbs-up. “You’ve done the family proud. ”
Nan Ge was speechless. Was he praising her?
“I didn’t believe it the last time I heard Nan Zhe say it.”
At first, he was only surprised to hear that Shen Yanqing had beaten up the chairman of Cheng An International at a dinner party. Then, he heard that Nan Zhe was also involved, so he was a little puzzled. Later, when he asked Nan Zhe, the kid said that Shen Yanqing had done it for Nan Ge, leaving him even more dumbfounded.
He could not think of a connection at all.
“Last time, during Grandma’s birthday, if you had come, you would have met him.”
“I heard.” Her youngest uncle flicked the ash from his cigarette. His tone was more casual and he spoke in a local accent with a muffled voice. “I originally wanted to get to know him, but who knew that I would encounter something else that day? It can’t be helped.”
“Haven’t you seen each other before?”
“No.” After a pause, he continued, “But I’ve met his mother and she even visited my grandfather.”
The grandfather he was talking about was his maternal grandfather.
Before Nan Ge could express her surprise, she heard him say slowly, “But my old man is famous for his bad temper. He doesn’t like her at all. He didn’t even let her see him. He asked me to chase her away.”
“Are you serious?”
In Nan Gel s memory, Shen Yanqing’s mother always looked overbearing. She looked like the sort to reject others, but certainly not the other way around.
“Why would I lie about this?”
“When did this happen?”
“Just last year. His mother had some means in the early years and had some background. However, I heard that she divorced and went overseas, giving up on the domestic market. Last year, she returned to the country and wanted to come to the capital to develop. She wanted to use Grandpa’s connections to build a bridge, but he ignored her.” “Then she came to me.”
“Then… did you help?” Nan Ge quickly asked.
As soon as she finished speaking, her youngest uncle knocked her head and said with a smile, “I do have some connections, but I’m not so free as to help some irrelevant people.”
“When I heard that you were with Shen Yanqing, I changed my mind and wanted to talk to his mother again. However, Nan Zhe said that his mother did not treat you well. Why? Doesn’t she like you?”
Nan Ge touched her nose. “A little. Shen Yanqing can’t even get a smile from his mother.”
“It’s fine. I can’t promise you much, but in this area, as long as I don’t relent, his mother won’t be able to do anything. Don’t worry, I will definitely put her under control..”
