Chapter 242 The Eldest Uncle's Family Returns to W City
After the dinner, Jiang Chengcheng didn't stay long and prepared to go straight home. Because she was staying at a hotel, she hadn't seen her parents for two days.
On her way home, Jiang Chengcheng remembered the phone call from that afternoon and quickly called Sirius back.
"Hey, Sirius," Jiang Chengcheng tentatively greeted him.
"Chengcheng? What happened this afternoon?" Even though it was already past 1 a.m. in E country, Sirius was still awake, anxiously thinking about Jiang Chengcheng's unusual behavior today.
He called several more times, but Jiang Chengcheng couldn't get away because there were too many people around, so she could only send a message to Sirius asking him to wait.
Jiang Chengcheng had only said that she had some things to do and it was inconvenient for her to answer the phone, but who would have thought that Sirius would actually wait for her until midnight.
"My dear Comrade Sirius, I have to confess to you that today, due to some unexpected circumstances, I almost exposed our relationship without your permission. I'm sorry!" After the call connected, Jiang Chengcheng sincerely and without omitting anything from what had happened that day. She originally thought Sirius would be somewhat unhappy, but it turned out that his focus was not on that at all!
"The production team? Chengcheng, does that mean you're willing to make it official? It's okay if my words are exposed, it's mainly up to you." When Sirius heard Jiang Chengcheng's words, he thought she was willing to officially announce her relationship with him, and he couldn't help but feel happy and expectant at the same time.
"Official announcement? No, they won't recognize your voice! I didn't save your real name in my contacts." Jiang Chengcheng was a little confused when she heard Sirius's words. She thought that there were so many people in the world, even if the audience racked their brains, they wouldn't be able to remember him, right? Moreover, the two of them were communicating in Chinese, so it would be even harder to guess based on their voices alone.
"Really? I thought Chengcheng wanted to make it official. I'm fine with anything." In fact, Sirius not only wasn't fine with anything, but he also deeply longed for a legitimate identity.
After all, as Jiang Chengcheng grows older, her outstanding beauty has become her least noteworthy advantage. But even if it's insignificant, it still attracts more suitors. Since Sirius is far away in E country, he can't stop these people from getting close to Jiang Chengcheng. So he can only hope that she grows up quickly and will agree to their official announcement soon.
"We'll see," Jiang Chengcheng said hesitantly.
The way Jiang Chengcheng and Sirius get along is the complete opposite of most couples. Most girls in relationships pay more attention to their boyfriends' feelings, are willing to make concessions in their careers, and want to be by their side every minute, while boys tend to focus more on their careers. But Jiang Chengcheng and Sirius are the complete opposite.
Jiang Chengcheng loves Sirius, but she loves herself even more. She will not give up her thriving career for a fleeting love.
Of course! This doesn't mean Jiang Chengcheng doesn't love Sirius. Humans are complex and contradictory beings. Love is real, but she believes from the bottom of her heart that if a girl truly loves someone, the first thing she must learn is to love herself.
Sirius is also somewhat different from most ordinary boys. It's not that he's particularly love-obsessed; after all, the chances of a national leader being love-obsessed are lower than winning the lottery.
Compared to other boys, Sirius is more willing to give and accommodate Jiang Chengcheng, and because of their age difference, she is very insecure. This is something that only girls usually care about. So, their relationship is more like a gender swap, with Jiang Chengcheng becoming the rational one and Sirius being relatively emotional.
“…………Okay.” Even though he had anticipated Jiang Chengcheng’s answer, Sirius still felt a little down when he heard her say it herself.
"You're still up so late?" Sensing the dejection in Sirius's voice, Jiang Chengcheng guiltily changed the subject.
"Hmm... I still have some documents to process." Sirius didn't tell the truth. In fact, he was waiting for Jiang Chengcheng's call, but he knew that if he told Jiang Chengcheng about this, she would probably feel guilty again.
"Working so hard? You need to get more rest! Staying up late is the worst thing you can do!" Jiang Chengcheng believed whatever Sirius said, thinking that he was really still processing documents so late.
"Yes, I will. Chengcheng, you too. Don't get so caught up in work that you forget everything else." Knowing Jiang Chengcheng's personality, Sirius also spoke up.
To be honest, Jiang Chengcheng's obsession with food is no less than Sirius's, and sometimes even surpasses it. At least Sirius never forgets to eat.
"Okay, you should go to sleep early." Jiang Chengcheng glanced at the time and realized it was already past eight o'clock. She figured it must be past one o'clock in E country too, so she quickly said.
"Okay, you should get some rest too." Sirius thought about his meeting the next day and didn't say anything more, replying with reluctance.
…………
Time flies like an arrow, and it's already the first day of the Lunar New Year. But this morning, someone Jiang Chengcheng didn't expect came: her cousin, Cheng Shifei.
The reason it was unexpected is that since my eldest uncle went to develop his career in the south, he has rarely come back because he is so far away.
"Chengcheng, Yuejie, where are you going to school now?" After paying New Year's respects, Cheng Shifei sat casually on the sofa. After all, he had been away for too long, and the only people he still knew in the family were Jiang Chengcheng and Jiang Yue. The reason he knew them was because before his uncle moved south, the three of them often played together.
However, after so much time, I've become a bit rusty.
"Me? I'm at Qingdao University. My sister is about to graduate and is mostly working on film sets now." Jiang Chengcheng rubbed her slightly sore eyes. She hadn't slept a wink all night because she stayed up all night to celebrate New Year's Eve.
"Qingda?! You're quite accomplished! I only heard you were practicing figure skating before, I never expected you to get into Qingda, impressive!" Cheng Shifei was also quite surprised to hear this. They hadn't been in contact for so many years, and she never expected that her cousin, who used to be a poor student, had become a top student!
"Brothers, what are your plans for this trip back?" Jiang Chengcheng asked with a puzzled look.
She didn't believe that her uncle's family, who hadn't returned home for many years, would come back simply because they were homesick.
“It’s nothing. You know my family is in business. We came to W City because we want to develop locally in the future, so we don’t have to travel back and forth, which is not only tiring but also doesn’t earn much money.” Cheng Shifei said this with a faint sense of superiority. If you didn’t look closely, you might even think it was your imagination.
"Oh, so what kind of business do you want to do in the future?" Jiang Chengcheng was used to this kind of person, and besides, it wasn't a big deal. They just liked to show off, so she pretended not to hear.
"Hey! It's nothing much! Just doing some real estate. Nothing's easy to do these days, so I can only stick to my old business." Cheng Shifei smiled faintly, speaking modestly, but his eyes revealed a hint of arrogance.
