Maximize Interest, My Money Grows Infinitely-Chapter 252 - 187 Two Bad Pieces of News_3

Su Liya turned her head and looked at Chen Cheng, who was very close, the corners of her mouth slightly lifted, "Uncle, what are you looking at?"

That soft voice was particularly teasing.

"I...I’m watching the movie."

"Really?"

Su Liya snuggled into Chen Cheng’s embrace, almost half lying on his body, "Why do I feel like you’ve been watching me, Uncle?"

"Not at all, right?"

"Uncle, your face is red."

"Is it? Maybe it’s because this blanket is a bit thick."

"Uncle, no need to be shy, I know you’re watching me."

"How do you know?"

Su Liya stretched out her finger and lightly touched Chen Cheng’s nose, "Because, I’ve been watching you too."

After saying that, Su Liya boldly raised her head and kissed Chen Cheng’s lips.

Unlike the wild passion at Da Lao, Su Liya’s initiative this time was very gentle, without turning into a little puppy.

Three to five seconds later, she held Chen Cheng’s face and said softly, "Uncle, I just wanted to tell you, I like you."

"I like the maturity and steadiness about you, the tolerance and tenderness you show me."

She smiled sweetly, "Of course, I also like that you are handsome!"

After speaking, Su Liya let go of her hands and obediently lay in Chen Cheng’s arms.

...

...

After the movie ended and Su Liya was sent home, Chen Cheng also returned to Wanbao Hall.

At eight in the evening, the business was great, and there were customers waiting outside the door.

Chen Cheng stepped over the threshold and instantly saw Meng Wanning sitting at the tea table.

She was eating brown sugar rice cake without noticing Chen Cheng’s arrival.

But Xiao Meier at the cashier’s station saw him.

"Back?"

Chen Cheng nodded, "How was today?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Meng Wanning also raised her head.

"Shu Biao helped us out, and it was already in operation today." Xiao Meier was very happy, as she walked out, "Xiao Meng taught me quite a bit!"

Meng Wanning stood up, nodded and greeted Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng also nodded in response, "That’s pretty good!"

"Yeah," Xiao Meier said cheerfully, "all thanks to Xiao Meng, or else I really wouldn’t know how to turn the steering wheel!"

Meng Wanning quickly waved her hand, "Sister, you are too kind. I’m just a novice."

"Don’t say that. Your experience is far more than mine!"

Xiao Meier laughed, and after half a second, she looked at Chen Cheng and asked, "Have you eaten?"

"Not yet."

"Then I’ll ask the kitchen to stir-fry two dishes."

"Just something simple is fine."

Meng Wanning glanced at the time on the wall, "Then I’ll be going back first. Sister, thank you for your hospitality."

"You’re being too polite with me!" Xiao Meier reproached lightly, grabbing Meng Wanning’s hand, "Just wait a moment, I’ll pack another portion for you to take back to your master."

Meng Wanning didn’t refuse and nodded her consent.

Xiao Meier headed towards the kitchen, leaving Chen Cheng and Meng Wanning at the front.

Meng Wanning looked at Chen Cheng in front of her, "Mr. Chen, I will return that box of pumpkin seeds to you the day after tomorrow."

"It’s what master told me to do," she added.

Chen Cheng considered for a moment, "Alright, then I’ll return it to Mr. Jin."

Meng Wanning: "By the way, has Mr. Jin not come back yet?"

At the mention of this, Chen Cheng was also puzzled.

All things considered, Jin Baogen had been away from the capital for over a week, and there had been no news.

"Shouldn’t have," Chen Cheng replied uncertainly.

Meng Wanning shrugged her shoulders, not saying much more.

After a while, Xiao Meier came out with the packed brown sugar rice cake, handing it to Meng Wanning, "Xiao Meng, I packed another portion for you."

Meng Wanning accepted it, "Thank you, sister. See you the day after tomorrow, then?"

"Yep, see you the day after tomorrow."

Meng Wanning turned and left the shop.

Chen Cheng sat down at the tea table, his brow slightly furrowed, thinking about Jin Baogen’s situation.

"What’s wrong?" Xiao Meier brought over a bottle of water and seeing Chen Cheng in deep thought, asked, "What’s on your mind that has you so absorbed?"

"E’er Jie, has Mr. Jin contacted you?" Chen Cheng asked bluntly, "You say he’s been out for more than a week, how come there’s no news at all?"

Xiao Meier also sat down, "During the days you were in Japan, I called godfather."

"What did he say?"

"He said there were some things not yet finished and hung up."

After Chen Cheng heard this, "No news afterwards?"

Xiao Meier shook her head, "No."

"Then I’ll also give him a call later." Chen Cheng said with concern.

"Okay, I’ll go rush the dishes for you."

Chen Cheng glanced at the waiting customers at the door, "Just get a dish to make a covered rice meal, I’ll eat at the willow tree area."

"Alright."

After Xiao Meier left, not long after, Chen Donghai also came in.

Seeing Chen Cheng, he quickly approached, "Mr. Chen, the information about Miss Meng that you requested."

"So quick?"

Chen Cheng put down the water bottle and took the smartphone that was offered.

"It’s from Mr. Jin."

Chen Cheng looked up at Chen Donghai, "Mr. Jin is back?"

Chen Donghai’s expression showed difficulty, but looking into Chen Cheng’s eyes, he still nodded.

"How long has it been?" Chen Cheng asked again.

Chen Donghai answered, "Four days ago."

Chen Cheng felt even more puzzled after hearing this.

Normally, Jin Baogen’s trip was for the penultimate bond issuance. Once he got the tender, he would naturally look for Chen Cheng.

But now, not only had Chen Cheng not received any news, but he hadn’t even seen Jin Baogen himself.

"Then where is Mr. Jin?" Chen Cheng pressed.

Chen Donghai hesitated, his gaze flickering.

"That..." he replied truthfully, "Mr. Jin is at Xiehe."

"Xiehe? What? Is he sick or something?" Chen Cheng grew more anxious as he listened.

Chen Donghai took a deep breath, "Mr. Jin had an accident and is hospitalized. He instructed that the news must not be spread."

"What happened?"
