Chapter 790: Chapter 790: Second Uncle
“Unfortunately, no families have successfully had a daughter.” Adrian Zhekova couldn’t help but think of Morgan.
He felt that the chance for a second daughter was not very likely.
Perhaps, it could only exist in his dreams.
“What about Third Uncle? Second Uncle has always been eyeing the Family Head position, what about Third uncle?” Cindy Clarke asked.
“Third Uncle doesn’t care about these things.” Adrian Zhekova said.
“Third Uncle has always liked a carefree life and has no interest in these matters.” Adrian Zhekova said, “Anyway, he has shares, and his annual dividends alone are already considerable.”
“In addition to some investments, even if he stayed at home every day doing nothing and spending money on fun, it wouldn’t all be used up. He and my Third Auntie travel around a lot. They even took a boat to the South Pole not long ago and just returned before the year began.”
It just so happened to be the time of constant sunlight in the South Pole.
“In the Zhekova family, even if you don’t do anything, you won’t be mistreated,” Adrian Zhekova said, “Third Uncle is very open-minded, not needing to do anything, without any worries, the most he has to worry about each day is how to enjoy himself.”
“Of course, he doesn’t get involved with prostitution, gambling or drugs. His idea of fun is to genuinely enjoy life,” Adrian Zhekova said with a smile.
“He never participates in family business matters.”
“I don’t know if it’s because of his influence since childhood, but even his younger brother hasn’t shown much interest in the family business. However, it can’t be said that he lacks ambition, just that his interests don’t lie within the family.”
“Although he graduated from Belfard University, he also studied cuisine at Pingla Academy. Surprisingly, he is very interested in this field.”
“So, I just let him go and study it. I was planning to hand over Pingla Academy to him to manage anyway. It’s great for him to study there and familiarize himself with the Academy.”
“So now, he is both the headmaster and a teacher at Pingla Academy. Having studied at the Academy before, his culinary skills rank quite highly even among the teachers there.”
“Although he only teaches occasionally and not for long, he still participates in designing the exam questions for some important competitions at the Academy.”
Designing culinary exam questions may sound simple, but in reality, one must be extremely familiar with the cuisine.
Even just knowing the basics is not enough.
Perhaps one can forcibly set questions, but they would not be very sophisticated.
However, his younger brother is different, as he is also very skilled in the culinary arts.
He knows better where to start
“Like this time at the Pingla Culinary Competition, he designed several of the exam questions.” Adrian Zhekova said with a smile.
This was the first time Cindy heard about this.
“I didn’t know he designed them!” Cindy exclaimed with surprise.
Although she hadn’t met Adrian Zhekova’s younger brother yet.
But from Adrian’s detailed introduction, she could tell he had a good relationship with his younger brother.
Otherwise, Adrian wouldn’t have talked so much about it.
“You never told me about this before,” Cindy said.
“It’s not too late for you to know now,” Adrian Zhekova laughed.
“You haven’t mentioned what your third brother’s name is,” Cindy realized and asked.
“The youngest brother is called Samson Zhekova (Ethan Zhekova),” Adrian Zhekova said.
“What about your second brother?” Cindy asked again, “I’ve only heard you mention the Second Uncle, not the second brother.”
“The second brother is called Ethan Zhekova.” Adrian Zhekova said.
“I can’t say much about what Ethan thinks. The whole Zhekova family knows about my Family Head abilities. So, as long as he doesn’t want it, I can’t see through his thoughts.”
“Ethan has been influenced by my Second Uncle’s education and ideas since childhood. I don’t know how much he has followed in Second Uncle’s footsteps, wanting to seize the position of the Family Head.”
The position of Family Head doesn’t matter much to Adrian Zhekova.
Even if his Second Uncle really broke the tradition and didn’t rely on Family Head’s abilities as criteria, Adrian wouldn’t care.
However, his continuous attempts to struggle against family members also made Adrian Zhekova dislike him and even feel annoyed.
“Ethan has never expressed his intentions, has deep thoughts, so before you get to know him, don’t trust him too much and don’t get too close.”
“Our families don’t interact with each other very frequently, otherwise, you would have met them during the holidays last year.”
“But I think Ethan might still be considering the Family Head position,” Adrian Zhekova said.
“However, you don’t need to worry. It’s not your concern. Just interact with them as normal relatives.”
“However, my Second Uncle values status very much,” Adrian Zhekova said. “He has a strong sense of power and rank.”
“He actively wants to climb to a higher position and looks down on those below him.”
“Unfortunately, he comes from the Zhekova family. Although he didn’t get the Family Head position, being born in the Zhekova family is already enough for him to be proud and look down on all families that are not as good as the Zhekova family.”
Cindy: “…”
Cindy didn’t have the heart to speak up.
From this perspective, Adrian Zhekova’s Second Uncle seemed to be a real piece of work.
It can’t be said that he’s a bad person.
But he’s also not a person worth associating with.
Moreover, having been born in the Zhekova family, why is he still so status-conscious?
Fortunately, the Zhekova family has already reached the top, with no one above them.
Otherwise, Cindy thought she would probably have to witness Adrian Zhekova’s Second Uncle praising those above him and stepping on those below him.
Merely from Adrian Zhekova’s words, Cindy didn’t have a good impression of his Second Uncle.
Although she didn’t have any aversion towards Ethan, just as Adrian Zhekova said, she wouldn’t get close to him either.
On the other hand, she had a good impression of Adrian Zhekova’s Third Uncle’s family and couldn’t wait to get to know them.
“I’m telling you this so you are mentally prepared. My Second Uncle will definitely not be satisfied with you.” Adrian Zhekova said.
“I thought so.” Cindy already knew without Adrian saying it explicitly, “He must be unsatisfied with my background.”
“He doesn’t even look up to families slightly inferior to the Clarke family, let alone someone like me from an ordinary home.”
“I suppose he shares the same beliefs as many people who doubt whether our relationship can last for a long time, thinking that as I have no background and an ordinary family background, even one that’s a little worse, I cannot bring any assistance to the Zhekova family. Instead, I need lots of your support.”
“In this way, I am just holding you back.” Cindy said.
“No, you’re not.” Adrian Zhekova refuted with a serious face.
“I know, I’m just guessing what Second Uncle thinks, right?” Cindy hastily said.
Adrian Zhekova’s face finally relaxed.
“But, I think it’s inappropriate to judge him this way without meeting Second Uncle,” Cindy said.
“You haven’t done anything wrong,” Adrian Zhekova immediately responded. “It’s right for you to think this way.”
It’s better to be prepared beforehand rather than being suddenly disliked and emotionally hurt.
“Alright, alright.” Cindy could only agree.
She felt that Adrian Zhekova was now unreasonably siding with her on everything she said.
