Zack stood at the exit of the high-speed railway station, awaiting the arrival of his aunt's family.
The Webb City high-speed railway station wasn't very large, with only two exits.
Unlike the Western Station in the capital, which had seven or eight exits and a complex internal structure, making it really difficult to find someone accurately inside the station.
He looked confident andtall, and his looks had already reached a 7-point rating.
Though he couldn't compete with the beauty of Pan An (a famously handsome man in ancient China), he was definitely in the "handsome" category.
Coupled with his current aura of stability akin to a big shot, Zack stood out like a crane among chickens.
Even though Zack dressed casually, just wearing shorts and a short-sleeved shirt in this August summer, he still caught the attention of the people passing by, who instinctively glanced at him.
That's what presence is all about.
While ordinary people's unreasonable confidence is narcissism, Zack's confidence is very convincing.
The source of this confidence was none other than the money in his hands.
With cash assets of twenty million, and just in his early twenties.
Perhaps this total wasn't ranked in Xia Country, but if age was factored in, Zack was definitely ahead of over 99% of young people.
Money and power, are the sources of confidence for people, as they have been throughout history.
"Brother?"
Just as Zack stood still, slightly distracted, a sweet girl's voice came, tinged with incredulity.
Zack snapped back to reality and glanced to his side, seeing his cousin staring at him with her wide, watery eyes.
This was Zack's cousin, Minnie Carrie.
The little girl would start her third year of junior high school this fall. She wasn't very tall, and since she didn't have to go to school, she didn't have to wear the uniform that left nothing to say.
She wore a British-style plaid skirt and a pinkish chiffon blouse, embodying a cute style.
Her slender legs under the skirt were very straight, wearing hollowed-out lace ankle socks and refreshing sandals.
Since she was still young, the little girl didn't put on any complicated makeup, probably just a layer of BB cream.
Her face was full of collagen, making people envy the good skin of young girls, and her facial features were even more delicate.
If one were to say what distinguished this cousin from other girls, it was her skin—very, very white, almost dazzlingly so.
People say that being white covers up a hundred flaws. If you're enough white, many defects can be overlooked.
And Minnie was already very pretty, so this whiteness was just a bonus.
"Aunt, Uncle, I was a bit distracted just now and didn't notice you."
Zack smiled at his cousin and then greeted his aunt and uncle.
His aunt was naturally his mother's younger sister, also from Webb City. She eventually went to work in the capital and met Zack's uncle, whom she married.
The family of three had very good financial conditions. Uncle worked in a private enterprise and, being under forty and vigorous, held a middle-level management position.
Their combined monthly income was almost over thirty thousand, which was already a very considerable income even in the capital.
Most importantly, his aunt's family owned a house in the capital, not a luxury mansion but a sufficient three-bedroom apartment.
In the capital, the biggest expense is renting.
But if you own a house, you can live very well even with a monthly income of a few thousand.
Aunt's family had always had a good relationship with their family. Zack went to university in the capital for three years and occasionally stayed at hisaunt's house on weekends.
It could be said that when in the capital, Zack was well taken care of by hisaunt's family.
"Hey, you didn't have to bring anything when you came," said Uncle, who was carrying a bag in each hand filled with snacks for visiting relatives.
Seeing this, Zack muttered about family trivia and took the bag from Aunt.
As for the one in Uncle's hand, "You're a man, you can carry it yourself!"
"Zack, it's been just over a month since we last saw you, and you've changed a lot. You've grown taller, and Aunt almost didn't recognize you," Aunt examined Zack, praising him like every elder does when seeing a younger generation.
"And you've become more handsome too," Uncle added with a smile.
"Getting handsome is true, but my height is the same as before," Zack responded with a smile.
"Narcissistic!" Minnie circled Zack, clicking her tongue and saying, "But seriously, Zack, you've really become a bit more handsome. I didn't recognize you just now."
"Don't be so disrespectful. You can't call your brother by his name directly!" Aunt glared at Minnie and scolded her.
Zack also glared at her.
But the little girl wasn't afraid at all. She stuck out her tongue at Zack and urged, "Let's go. Let's hurry up and eat at Auntie's house."
"The food on the high-speed train was really disgusting. I couldn't eat a single bite," she added.
Although they didn't meet often when they were young, since Zack went to university, he and his cousin saw each other every so often.
At that time, Minnie was still in primary school and a little kid. Three years later, she had grown into a young lady.
Zack had watched his cousin grow up, and they were very familiar with each other. Plus, a third-year junior high school student is in their rebellious teenage years.
He just smiled at her disrespectful behavior, thinking that it was already difficult for her to call him "brother" just now.
She was just a mischievous girl.
Chatting with Aunt's family, they arrived at the parking lot and got into the Hover H6, heading to their parents' house.
...
Zack's parents lived in the old city district. Upon entering, they could see the table in the living room and the meal prepared by his mother and father on it.
As soon as Zack's mother saw him, she complained, "What have you been doing at home for over a month? You wouldn't even come over for a meal when asked."
"And you too, you didn't have to bring anything when you came," she added, though her face was all smiles.
"I've been working hard at home to make big money. So, I can support you properly when I'm rich," Zack replied innocently to his mother.
"What big money? I bet you were just playing games at home. When you stayed with us, you even took my computer," Minnie sat on the sofa, took off her sandals, and shook her white, slender legs, starting to complain.
Zack's mother chuckled and said, "If he takes your computer again next time, just scold him directly. If he dares to reply, just tell Auntie."
Upon hearing this, Minnie proudly raised her little head and said to Zack, "Did you hear that, Zack? From now on, you have to listen to me whenever I tell you something."
Zack gave her an angry stare.
He didn't want to deal with this little girl in front of his parents.
At this point, Zack's mother said, "Your mom doesn't need you to support her in her old age. I'm just waiting for you to find a girlfriend."
Upon hearing this, Zack's mouth twitched. Indeed, this was the usual spiel when elders met.
When I was in high school and looking for a girlfriend, you said it was puppy love. Now that I'm about to graduate from university, you're starting to worry.
He muttered to himself.
The aunt also added, "That's right. Zack is tall and handsome. Finding a girlfriend shouldn't be difficult for him."
"Does Minnie have any classmates? Introduce one to your brother," she suggested.
Minnie opened her mouth wide and exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Mom, are you serious? My brother is six or seven years older than my classmates. He's already an uncle, okay? Who would be interested in him?"
"Stop talking nonsense, or I'll beat you!" Zack pretended to hit her.
Minnie giggled and quickly dodged.
As for Uncle and Zack's father, they were smoking together and talking about men's topics.
The family was happy and content.
