Chapter 17
Shen Jianye raised his eyebrows, but before he could say anything, the traffic police came over and urged: "If you don't leave, you will be fined. Please don't block traffic. Parent, please cooperate with the work. If you don't leave quickly, please park in the area over there to pick up your child."
I don’t know which word made Shen Jianye happy again, he pulled down the sunglasses on his head: “Little friend, have you ever seen such a handsome rich man?”
Then he quickly nodded to the traffic police behind him and said, "I'll drive over right away. Sorry."
After saying that, he drove to a designated parking spot. Jiang Rong frowned and looked at the female classmate next to her. The face looked familiar, but Jiang Rong couldn't remember her name for a moment. After all, she always kept her head down habitually and didn't look at anyone's face.
So naturally I don’t remember whether I have seen this face before.
The female classmate stomped her feet twice in a very corrupt manner: "You are so good, Jiang Rong, you don't even remember me?"
Jiang Rong blinked doubtfully, not forcing herself to be polite. Furthermore, she was the one who was impolite first, so she answered bluntly, "I really don't remember. But whether I know him or not, that's no reason for you to say that."
"I don't like it, and you're being rude."
If it was just about herself, Jiang Rong wouldn't care. After all, the mouth is on someone else's face and she likes to talk, but it's not good to talk about people around her.
This was probably the first time the girl had seen Jiang Rong reject him sternly and show some resistance. She was stunned for a moment and replied uncomfortably, "You did it and you won't let me know. Everyone knows you're a disaster. And you don't have any money. Who knows where the money you have now comes from?"
Shen Jianye parked the car and just happened to hear this. Before he could say anything, he heard Jiang Rong explaining there: "I don't steal or rob. I earned all my money by working."
Anyway, she wasn't working now and there was no teacher nearby, so Jiang Rong wasn't afraid to tell her.
The girl then asked again: "Where can you go to work? Who will hire you?" She said it lightly, but the malice in her eyes was not concealed at all.
"But you're so pretty, and I don't know if your way of making money is clean or not. Who knows where you work..."
Jiang Rong was so angry that her eyes turned red. Usually she seldom quarreled with others, but she just couldn't control her tears.
Before he could refute, the smell of coffee enveloped him, and his vision darkened. It was Shen Jianye who took off his sunglasses and put them on his nose.
He put a hand on the girl's shoulder and smiled slightly: "Brother will teach you, at this time, you only need to say one sentence to her, it's none of your business."
Jiang Rong's red eyes were covered by her sunglasses, but when she heard his rebuttal, her eyes became even redder. However, the sunglasses, new hairstyle, and the tight corners of Jiang Rong's mouth made her look very intimidating.
The girl was stunned for a moment, her eyes showing more disgust. She glanced up and down at the two of them. Before she could say anything else, Shen Jianye had already put his arm around Jiang Rong's shoulders: "Let's go. Are you hungry? Brother will treat you to some junk food at the school gate. I haven't eaten it for so long that I miss it."
The girl couldn't help but said loudly: "Don't regret it, do you know Jiang Rong?"
Before she finished speaking, Shen Jianye turned his head to look at her, with a smile on his lips but his face was extremely cold: “Little friend, defamation is against the law.”
The girl gritted her teeth and before she could say anything, several classmates came over and asked, "Wow, why is Manager Shen here?"
"What is your relationship with this beautiful classmate?"
…
Shen Jianye curved his eyes and said, “This is my sister. Welcome everyone to come to the coffee shop again. Since you are my sister’s classmates, I will give you discounts when you come.”
Several girls cheered. They had obviously heard what the girl had just said. They couldn't help but say, "Manager Shen's sister must be a good person too."
"My dear sister from which class, let's go out and play together next time."
The girl who was looking for trouble clenched her back teeth and didn't say anything. Shen Jianye and Jiang Rong didn't look at her again. The man waved to the girls and said, "Sorry, my sister is quite introverted. See you next time."
The girls didn't force an answer, but instead praised: "Manager Shen's cakes are really delicious. See you next time."
After chatting for a few sentences, the two of them walked towards the car, and the girls also walked towards the station. Only the girl who started the trouble remained standing there.
But not far away, he could still hear the question raised by Shen Jianye: “Do you know her?”
Jiang Rong shook her head: "I don't know him."
The girl behind him bit her lower lip, stamped her feet, snorted coldly, turned around and left.
Shen Jianye smiled at Jiang Rong, but before he could say anything, a girl behind him exclaimed, "Rongrong, this is the old-fashioned senior?"
"You have good taste, and you are indeed good-looking."
Lin Yue thought quickly and changed the address quickly, almost saying the bad words she had said before, and added a compliment at the end, thinking that men should not continue to worry about their slip of the tongue.
But Shen Jianye smiled and imitated Lin Yue’s tone: “Old Bian Senior, what is it?”
Lin Yue smiled awkwardly: "Old man, you always become the senior. Jiang Rong and I are used to it. I'm sorry."
Shen Jianye raised his eyebrows: "How do you know I'm a senior?"
Lin Yue quickly winked at Jiang Rong, wondering if she had recognized the wrong person. This kind of thing was not right; it was too embarrassing!
As someone who knew the situation, Jiang Rong laughed a little and helped explain, "This is my deskmate Lin Yue. I don't know how to use forums, and when she was helping me register, she found out that this phone number already had an account."
"But it is indeed the mobile phone number that my brother gave me."
Shen Jianye smiled slightly: “So that’s the case, but I did study here for a year.”
Lin Yue breathed a sigh of relief. She thought she had recognized the wrong person. However, this senior was indeed handsome, but that didn't prevent him from being a pervert.
At first glance, it was obvious that he was much older than Jiang Rong, and the two of them looked nothing alike. She didn't believe in the idea of brother and sister. Lin Yue stood there and looked at him carefully. A female classmate came over and asked, "Manager Shen?"
Jiang Rong did remember this person's face. It was Li Tong, the classmate Lin Yue had just argued with, and the one they used to get along very well with. She looked at Lin Yue's puzzled face and said with an inexplicable sense of superiority, "He's the handsome store manager I told you about before, the one who opened a coffee shop over by the old factory."
After she finished speaking, she said to Shen Jianye: “Why is the store manager here?”
Blushing, she stepped forward and asked, "Manager, can I add you as my friend so I can make an appointment with you for dim sum next time?"
The real purpose was revealed. Thinking of the bread that was so abundant that it was sold at a discount in the evening, Shen Jianye smiled and did not agree. He secretly glanced at the two little girls' faces. Jiang Rong and Lin Yue's faces clearly showed displeasure, so he just said: "No need, I just happened to come here to pick up the children from home. Besides, there are usually snacks in the afternoon, and no reservation is required."
It happened that Jiang Rong’s stomach started to growl, and Jiang Rong lowered her head in embarrassment. Shen Jianye smiled calmly and pushed her forward: “Then we’ll go first.”
Watching the two people leave, Li Tong couldn't help but mutter under her breath: "We didn't make an appointment before, and now so many people have seen the handsome store manager, how many can't be sold..."
She sighed and realized another problem: "Hey, isn't she not attending evening self-study? Why is she here?"
Lin Yue rolled her eyes and replied, "It has something to do with you again." As she spoke, Lin Yue walked towards the station.
Li Tong hurried to catch up. The reason they had a good relationship before was because they rode the same car home. She asked unhappily, "Are you really not going to play with me anymore, just for someone like her?"
Lin Yue paused, turned his head and looked at her with a flickering expression: "What kind of person?"
A trace of guilt flashed across Li Tong's face. Then, she looked at the backs of the man and woman, her heart filled with jealousy. "What kind of person is this? She doesn't look like the store manager at all. How could they be from the same family? I don't know how she hooked up with you guys and made you pay so much attention to her! She lives in the old factory, and I heard..."
Lin Yue interrupted expressionlessly: "She didn't do anything. I don't know about the store manager you mentioned, but on my side, it's me who has been sticking to her."
She didn't want to say any more, so she just said, "Li Tong, let's part ways amicably."
…
Jiang Rong and Shen Jianye didn’t know the dispute behind them. Although Jiang Rong kept refusing, Shen Jianye still went to buy two grilled sausages. The sweet juice burst in his mouth. Sometimes he had to sigh at the deliciousness of these junk foods at the school gate.
Jiang Rong was hesitant to put it into her mouth, but Shen Jianye said calmly: “Your stomach is growling, how long has it been since you last ate?”
"Besides, your classmates are watching at the station, and I don't know if the debt collectors know your school."
Jiang Rong then muttered "thank you", opened her mouth and took a bite, Shen Jianye sighed, and helplessly reminded: "Jiang Rong, you can eat a little dinner at school, you don't have to wait for me on purpose."
Jiang Rong nodded quickly to show that she understood. The two of them finished eating the sausages and threw away the skewers before getting in the car. Jiang Rong wanted to eat slowly, but Shen Jianye saw through her plan at a glance: "Don't let the oil drip on the car."
Jiang Rong quickly stuffed it into her mouth. Shen Jianye looked helpless. Sometimes she didn't know whether she was older or Jiang Rong was older. How could a little girl like her be like that frugal old woman?
It is obvious that the little girl who is a distant relative of ours will run away from home if we don't let her study abroad.
And she wouldn't even eat a sausage.
Thinking about what happened on his way home during the day and what just happened, the man tapped his slender fingers on the steering wheel, frowned slightly and looked at her sideways: "Jiang Rong, is this the environment you are in at school?"
Jiang Rong didn’t find anything wrong, but looked at Shen Jianye puzzledly: “What’s wrong?”
Shen Jianye didn’t reply for a moment, he took her to the entrance of the supermarket, taught her how to pay, and then watched the girl walk into the supermarket, and he just said: “There is still some work to do.”
Then he stood at the door, not knowing what he was thinking about.
Jiang Rong quickly bought the food and came out. She also noticed that something was wrong with Shen Jianye, but she didn't know why, so the two of them returned home in silence.
Until they returned to the door of the old factory. When the two of them went upstairs, they met an old lady who came downstairs to throw away the garbage. Shen Jianye remembered her. She often came to the coffee shop and ordered a glass of lemonade to sit for the whole day.
Back then, she always had a kind face, but now she looked at Jiang Rong with disgust, then looked at herself and asked:
"Manager Shen, why are you walking with her?"
