Chapter 1848: Chapter 682: Love Sealed with Sophia, a 50 Million Windfall! (Extended Chapter)

Sophia whispered, "I don’t know either."

As she spoke, she tidied up swiftly, then said loudly, "Dad, it’s me."

Soon, her father Johnson came over with two attendants.

Johnson initially wore a doting smile, but when he saw Zhang Jingdong behind Sophia, he instantly became a bit serious and asked, "Who is this?"

Sophia tried to stay calm and said, "Dad, this is Zhang Jingdong, Boss Zhang. He’s my friend from Huaxia."

"He’s here in Europe this time to look at buying a winery, so I brought him here to have a look around."

Johnson stepped forward two more steps, carefully sizing up Zhang Jingdong, and then asked, "You want to buy a winery?"

Zhang Jingdong was initially worried that this future father-in-law would ask about his real relationship with Sophia, but now that he saw the question, he instantly reverted to his usual calmness.

"Hello, Uncle. Sophia is right, I’m indeed here to buy a winery this time."

"Do you know how much a winery costs?"

Zhang Jingdong shook his head with a smile, "I don’t know, but my budget is 500 million to 1 billion US Dollars. I think that should be enough for a decent winery."

Johnson’s eyes flashed a hint of surprise, "May I ask which family you’re from in Huaxia?"

"I’m not from any family; I own the Jiangdu Dongsheng Group."

Johnson was completely stunned, then turned to Sophia, "Is he... for real?"

Sophia nodded, "That’s right. His group company involves various sectors such as the internet, real estate, entertainment, apparel, and more. Some students from our school work at their apparel company after graduation."

Johnson again carefully assessed Zhang Jingdong, and still somewhat hesitantly asked, "How old are you?"

"22."

"22!?" Johnson looked incredulous, "When did you start doing business?"

"At 18."

"You built a group company in just 4 years?"

"Yes."

Although Johnson still had some doubts, Zhang Jingdong’s demeanor was so composed that it didn’t seem like an act.

If he didn’t have significant abilities, he certainly wouldn’t be this at ease.

So, Johnson said, "Alright then, you both continue your tour. Sophia, after you’re done, take Mr. Zhang to the guest room to rest, and show him the wine cellar tomorrow morning."

Sophia’s heart tightened because she knew her dad leaving Zhang Jingdong to stay over was definitely not just for showing him the wine cellar tomorrow.

As she was feeling a bit conflicted, Zhang Jingdong smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Uncle!"

"No need to be polite, you’re Sophia’s friend, it’s expected."

Johnson gave Zhang Jingdong a meaningful look, then turned and walked away.

Seeing her father walk away, Sophia breathed a long sigh of relief, "Ah... that was really nerve-wracking just now!"

Zhang Jingdong affectionately ruffled her hair, "It’s no big deal. At worst, you could just come clean with your dad."

Sophia glared at him, "It’s nothing for you, but I haven’t figured out how to tell my parents yet."

"I can’t exactly say we just met yesterday and that today I went to the hotel with you, can I?"

Zhang Jingdong shrugged, "But if you really lie to them, do you think they won’t see through it?"

"They are your parents, after all. One wrong expression from you and they’ll know you’re lying."

Sophia blinked rapidly, "Then what should we do? My dad clearly wants you to stay tonight so he can ask about us at breakfast tomorrow."

Zhang Jingdong said casually, "Don’t worry about it; leave everything to me. I pursued you, I’m taking advantage, so the responsibility should be mine too."

Which woman can resist a man’s words like that?

Sure enough, Sophia was instantly moved, "Are you truly willing to take responsibility?"

"Absolutely! As a man, you have to own up to your actions!"

Sophia immediately hugged Zhang Jingdong proactively, "You’re so good!"

Zhang Jingdong smoothly wrapped his arms around her waist, "Shall we continue what we were doing earlier?"

Sophia looked up and said, "You’re so bold! My dad just left; aren’t you afraid he’ll come back?"

"If he really comes back, it saves us the trouble of explaining again."

"No way! You’re impossible!"

But she didn’t want to really refuse Zhang Jingdong, so she paused for a moment, then continued, "You’re staying tonight, right? I’ll...I’ll come find you in the middle of the night, is that okay?"

Zhang Jingdong instantly felt delighted, "Alright then, for your sincerity, we’ll postpone our vineyard rendezvous. After all, there’ll be plenty of opportunities in the future."

"Tonight, let’s just enjoy a beautiful evening, stealing sweetness in the night."

The two strolled in the vineyard for a while longer and then went back to the house at the winery.

Sophia led Zhang Jingdong to a guest room on the third floor.

The room was large, probably around fifty to sixty square meters.

And it was very luxuriously decorated, with all sorts of exquisite paintings and ceramics on the walls, and a Persian handmade carpet on the floor.

After the servants tidied up and left, Sophia said to Zhang Jingdong, "Rest here for a bit; I’ll tidy up and come find you later."

Zhang Jingdong’s right hand brushed past her curvy rear, "Okay, make sure to dress sexy."

Sophia gave him a sideways glance, "Am I not sexy enough now?"

"Of course, you’re sexy now. I mean, then... don’t bother wearing that."

Sophia paused for a few seconds before she got it, then lightly hit Zhang Jingdong on the shoulder, "You’re so bad! That’s too risky; what if someone..."
