After speaking, Big Brother patted Ge'er's shoulder, stood up, and turned to leave.
Ge'er called out to him in a sweet voice.
"Uncle, I think you look really like my daddy. What's your name?"
It wasn't just her imagination; even Chen Jiaojiao was surprised by his appearance.
He did bear some resemblance to Zhan Bei Jue in his features.
However, Zhan Bei Jue had a cold and aloof countenance. Though handsome, he gave off an air of unapproachability at first glance.
This man was gentle and serene.
He didn't create a sense of distance at first glance, but his words were chillingly cold.
"You might not know my name even if I told you, so why bother asking, little one?"
"Haven't you seen your daddy in a long time? If you miss him, call him. Don't go around recognizing random people as your father, okay?"
Ge'er felt a little embarrassed by his words and took Chen Jiaojiao's hand, preparing to return to the private room.
Just then, Zhou Jinbei came out.
Pregnant women were troublesome, always wanting to go to the restroom.
In the hour and a half of the meal, she had already gone twice.
Upon exiting, she saw Big Brother, Chen Jiaojiao, and the others in the corridor and was quite surprised.
"Mr. Hu, why are you here too?"
Because his identity couldn't be exposed back then, and illegitimate children were not allowed to enter the Zhan family, he took his mother's surname at birth.
His name was Hu Jiasheng.
Close relatives of the Zhan family knew of his existence as the elder son, but Zhou Jinbei had never called him "brother."
Seeing Zhou Jinbei greet him, Ge'er and Chen Jiaojiao looked at him again.
"You know each other?"
"Yes. We're from the same company."
Zhou Jinbei said vaguely, not wanting to elaborate.
"Ge'er, why aren't you going in yet? Your mommy is getting anxious and is about to come out looking for you."
Upon hearing this, Ge'er quickly bounced her little legs and ran back into the private room first.
Zhou Jinbei nodded at Big Brother and headed to the restroom without any hesitation.
Only Chen Jiaojiao remained, lost in thought.
Looking at Big Brother, she walked over and asked, "Are you Zhou Jinbei's superior?"
It seemed this woman had been particularly interested in her since she appeared.
Big Brother didn't know what she was up to.
He looked back at her expressionlessly.
"Sort of. What's wrong?"
"So you know Zhong Jiaming?"
Zhong Jiaming?
"Yes. What about it?"
Chen Jiaojiao didn't explain what was wrong. She took out her phone, opened WeChat, found her QR code, and handed it to him.
"Let's add each other on WeChat. I have something to tell you later."
Hmm?
This was the first time he had seen such a confident woman.
What was their relationship?
Was he that familiar with her?
She was asking for his WeChat right off the bat.
Big Brother was genuinely taken aback by her.
However, his upbringing and curiosity prompted him to take out his phone and scan Chen Jiaojiao's QR code.
Then he asked her.
"What should I call you?"
"Chen Jiaojiao. That's it. I'll contact you when I have time. You can go now."
The meal finally concluded after more than two hours.
The children hadn't been back to China for a long time, and they had been excited since yesterday. Jiang Nan Fang felt exhausted for them.
They couldn't play any longer. She would take them back to get organized so they could sleep soundly tonight.
Everyone said their goodbyes.
As soon as Chen Jiaojiao returned home, she went straight to her room and sent a WeChat message to Hu Jiasheng.
"You have Zhong Jiaming's phone number or WeChat, right? Could you please forward it to me?"
Big Brother was sitting in the back seat of the car, heading to the company.
His phone buzzed with a WeChat notification. He opened it and saw Chen Jiaojiao's message asking for Zhong Jiaming's contact information.
How interesting.
She added him on WeChat just to get another man's contact details.
Were young people these days so lawless?
"Sorry, I don't have his WeChat."
"You can send me his number too. Don't tell me you don't have that either. You're a senior executive at the company; if you don't have it, look it up in the directory. I don't believe such a small matter can stump you."
Was this lady some kind of incredibly important heiress? Her tone was so imperious.
Hu Jiasheng couldn't help but open her Moments to try and figure out what kind of person she was.
However, whether she was genuinely that composed or deliberately preventing him from seeing, her Moments showed nothing but a single horizontal line.
"Miss, we are not close. Without the consent of the person involved, I have no obligation or right to give you their contact information."
Her words were so formal.
These company leaders were so boring.
Chen Jiaojiao changed her approach.
"Zhong Jiaming has offended me, and I need to talk to him."
"If you don't give me his contact information, I'll go to the company tomorrow and make a scene with him publicly. Aren't you afraid it will affect the company's image?"
It seemed Zhong Jiaming was quite the charmer.
He had offended such a pampered young lady and still hadn't revealed his actual address to her.
Making a scene at the company? He wouldn't even be there. You'd have to find him first.
"Our company has security. As long as Miss can get in, I have no objections."
Why was this person so mean? It's just giving out contact information; what could I, a woman, do to him?
It's like guarding against a thief.
Chen Jiaojiao was so angry that she threw her phone onto the bed.
Damn it, all men are no good!
Around nine o'clock in the evening, Big Brother returned home from the hospital.
The butler informed him that the young madam had returned with four children.
Big Brother was stunned for a moment.
Four children?
He had only heard before that Zhan Bei Jue had a son and a daughter. When did he have four children?
However, he wouldn't inquire about such matters with the servants.
Just opening his mouth would reveal how little he was valued in this family, that such a significant event wasn't even communicated to him.
So, he merely responded indifferently, "Okay, I understand."
As the children's uncle, Big Brother felt it was necessary to visit them at this crucial juncture.
After some thought, he asked the butler to prepare four gifts and then went to Zhan Bei Jue's villa.
The four children were exhausted and had just been coaxed to sleep by Jiang Nan Fang.
The nanny came up and knocked on the door to announce Big Brother's arrival.
Jiang Nan Fang, wearing her pajamas, was not in good spirits.
Knowing that Big Brother's visit was definitely about the children, she felt they had nothing much to talk about.
So, she directly refused.
"Tell him we're already asleep. I'll bring the children to visit him tomorrow. Please ask him to go back."
The next morning, around seven o'clock, Jiang Nan Fang and the four children were having breakfast when Big Brother proactively arrived again.
The four little ones were chatting animatedly while eating.
Suddenly, they caught sight of a tall man entering. Ge'er sprang up from her chair.
"Hey, why is it you? Why are you at our house?"
Big Brother hadn't expected that the little girl he saw at the restaurant yesterday was actually a young lady of the Zhan family.
No wonder the girl said he looked like her daddy.
Jiang Nan Fang looked at Ge'er with confusion.
"What? You know him? When did you meet him?"
"Yesterday, I saw him at the restaurant. I thought he looked a lot like Daddy."
"Mommy, who is he to us? Why does he look so much like Daddy?"
Big Brother interjected.
"I am your daddy's older brother. Your uncle."
"It seems we have quite a connection, little girl."
