However, when she heard that her mother-in-law was going to host a dinner party, and that it was her husband's uncle, Zhang Jing put down what she was doing and hurriedly went to the restaurant to make a reservation.

Zhang Jing was busy in the supermarket. She had recently merged with several community supermarkets. Although they were not very large, they were widely distributed and were on the right track. However, when she heard that her mother-in-law was going to host a dinner party, and that it was her husband's uncle, Zhang Jing put down what she was doing and hurriedly went to the restaurant to make a reservation.
Although these days people don't really care about the relationship between one's mother and maternal uncle, he is still the husband's maternal uncle, which is considered a valuable relative in the family, so it's better to do things personally.
Liu Ning and his mother went home to change their clothes. It was almost time for dinner, so the two of them decided to stroll over. Since his mother disliked extravagance and Liu Ning was personally accompanying them, there were no safety concerns, so they gave the guards a half-day off.
Liu Ning saw Zhang Jing waiting at the door.
Liu Ning doesn't eat here often, but Zhang Jing arranges some business dinners here, so she's quite familiar with the place. After picking up her husband and mother-in-law, Zhang Jing was about to take them inside when she saw a taxi pull up beside her, and that hateful face came out of it.
"Oh my, isn't this my nephew? He's getting more and more handsome..."
Liu Ning's aunt ran over affectionately, and Liu Ning quickly took a step back. The smell of her cheap perfume could kill even the flies in the air.
Liu Ning gave Zhang Jing a brief introduction, and her aunt immediately rushed over, taking Zhang Jing's hand and showering her with concern. Having been a leader for so long, Zhang Jing naturally knew how to handle such people.
Aside from her cousin, Liu Ning didn't feel anything for the others. When they were in trouble, they would go as far away as possible. Now that they were successful, it was impossible for them to come and take advantage of them. Apart from this meal, Liu Ning didn't want to have any interaction with these people.
Five adults and one child came to my uncle's house: my uncle and aunt, my cousin and his wife, my cousin's wife, my cousin with her child, and my cousin's husband, who used to be a patrolman but died in the line of duty a few years ago.
Since my cousin's husband died, my cousin has taken her child back to her parents' home.
After that, the two sides had no contact. However, judging from her cousin's expression, she must have been having a hard time lately. Liu Ning was also puzzled. She should have been doing better when she went back to her parents' home, but why did her cousin look so tired? Now was not the time to ask about this, so she invited everyone to go inside.
In terms of age, Zhang Jing is a bit older than Liu Ning's cousin, but Zhang Jing's makeup is appropriate and she is wearing a proper business suit, so she looks younger than her cousin. It seems that her cousin has suffered a lot recently.
After everyone arrived at the private room, Liu Ning kept teasing his cousin's child. The child also got along very well with Liu Ning, and although the pronunciation was unclear, the child kept calling him "Uncle, Uncle." Liu Ning, on the other hand, neglected his own uncle.
Seeing this, the mother nudged Liu Ning, saying, "Your uncle and aunt are sitting here. They should be entertained. What's the point of them playing with the child all the time? Now that Liu Ning's father is gone, Liu Ning is like the head of the family."
To be honest, seeing his uncle's face did not lessen the hatred; instead, it reminded Liu Ning of the past. The last time he went to borrow money, his uncle called him a little bastard and even kicked him. Could he forget all that now?
This aunt went even further, directly saying that she had never borrowed money from Liu Ning's father back then, completely forgetting about the matter. When Liu Ning's mother brought up this incident, she directly kicked Liu Ning's mother out, and the mother even strained her back at the time.
How could Liu Ning possibly be enthusiastic when he thought about all this?
Liu Ning's uncle and his family also noticed his attitude, but they didn't dare to show it. After all, they came here to take advantage of him. His uncle's small shop wasn't doing very well. They heard that his nephew had become a prospective soldier. In the eyes of ordinary people, a prospective soldier was already quite good, with an annual income of at least several million. If his nephew could help them out, their family's life would be much better than it is now.
Moreover, they had heard another piece of news: their nephew was lucky; his wife was the boss of a large company with more than a dozen supermarkets under her control.
At first, they didn't believe it, thinking that this brat couldn't possibly have such good luck. But after arriving at this restaurant, the whole family basically believed it. Who could be an ordinary person to host a dinner party at such a restaurant? And look at their dignified nephew's wife next to them; her clothes must be expensive, she must be a big boss.
"DouDou...DouDou..."
My cousin's child is too young to pronounce "uncle" clearly. When he saw that Liu Ning wasn't playing with him anymore, he stretched out his little hands to call out to Liu Ning.
"Sis, I remember you weren't even 10 years old that year, and I was about the same age as this little one. I think I was also reaching out my arms to you for a hug..."
Liu Ning recalled what happened back then and looked at her cousin beside her.
"You have the nerve to say that? You were so lazy when you were little. I would carry you until I was half dead, and you wouldn't get off me. Now your nephew has caught you, so you'd better hold him tight!"
The conversation between the siblings was perfectly natural. Because the older cousin often took care of Liu Ning, Liu Ning also often clung to her. Although they hadn't been in contact for a long time, listening to their conversation made it seem as if they were still very affectionate yesterday.
But the others were not so good. Liu Ning didn't say a word to any of them after he entered, and he didn't even give them a friendly look.
Hearing that there were children on the way, Zhang Jing grabbed a lot of children's food from the supermarket. Liu Ning was now using the food to amuse his nephew, and the two of them were having a great time, completely forgetting about everyone else.
"Don't say anything later. I heard from someone that you've recently become successful. I'm here today to borrow money. I know you've become a prospective soldier, but I've also heard that prospective soldiers have high expenses. I'm doing alright, so don't lend them money. Your cousin gambles every day..."
While the people at the table weren't paying attention, her cousin whispered to Liu Ning. Liu Ning felt a warm feeling in her heart. Her cousin was still taking care of her as before, and always putting reason first in everything.
