Chapter 447 Having made up my mind
Shen Luojia is currently enjoying a stage play with Li Simin in Dashilan.
The performance on stage was meticulous and powerful, which made Shen Luojia very happy. She completely forgot that Li Simin was right next to her.
As the performance ended and the actors took their bows, Shen Luojia clapped enthusiastically.
Finally, it was Li Simin who reminded her, and she reluctantly walked out. Even after leaving the theater, she was still very excited: "It was so good, it was my first time seeing it."
Li Simin smiled and said, "I'll bring you here again when I have the chance. It's dinner time now, what would you like to eat?"
Shen Luojia thought about it seriously for a moment: "I want to eat dumplings."
Li Simin nodded: "Okay, I was just thinking of eating dumplings too, let's go to the cafeteria next door."
As they walked out, they ran into Xu Mingyue, who was leading her students out.
Xu Mingyue was quite surprised to see Li Simin: "Simin? You also watch model operas?"
Li Simin stopped and greeted Xu Mingyue with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you have nothing to do, so you brought your friend over to have a look."
Xu Mingyue glanced at Shen Luojia next to Song Simin. She had thick bangs, two thick black braids, and loose clothes, and looked unremarkable.
He politely looked away and smiled, "I brought my students here to listen and experience it live. If you like it, I'll reserve tickets for you when our school has a performance later."
Li Simin originally wanted to refuse, since he wouldn't have time to watch the show after going back to work in a few days. But then he thought of Shen Luojia beside him and said with a smile, "Thank you, sister-in-law. You can give the tickets to Zhizhi later."
Xu Mingyue nodded: "Okay, no problem."
Li Simin didn't introduce Shen Luojia to Xu Mingyue. Although Xu Mingyue was curious, she was also a sensible person and said goodbye without asking any questions.
...
Li Simin took Shen Luojia to eat dumplings, and the two of them ordered two catties of pork and fennel dumplings.
The dumplings in the cafeteria are cooked in a large pot and served in many portions. The taste and filling are far inferior to those at home, but Shen Luojia still enjoys them.
They ate dumplings one bite at a time, their little mouths glistening with oil.
The dumplings were quite large; there were about forty dumplings weighing two pounds, and Shen Luojia ate more than half of them.
Li Simin worried that she would overeat: "Eat less, or you'll feel stuffed, which is bad for your health. If you like it, I'll bring you here next time, or you can eat at my house."
Shen Luojia, her mouth stuffed full of dumplings, looked at Li Simin curiously, wondering if she could eat more next time.
Although she liked living at Li Simin's house, she knew it wasn't her home. She wanted to go home and ask Shen Qingping for her grandmother.
Li Simin understood Shen Luojia's meaning: "Just come find me whenever you want to eat. I'll write down my workplace for you in a bit, so you can write it down and go to my workplace to find me."
Shen Luojia nodded, still with the dumpling in her mouth, and mumbled an "okay".
After finishing the dumplings, it was already completely dark. Before Li Simin could speak, Shen Luojia said, "I'm going home. I'm not going back. They won't let me see Grandma. Thank you."
After speaking, he politely bowed to Li Simin, his posture perfectly standard.
Li Simin was taken aback: "You want to go home?"
Shen Luojia nodded seriously: "Yes, I'm going back now."
He waved to Li Simin, then turned and ran into the crowd.
Li Simin opened his mouth, wanting to offer to take her home, but she had already disappeared.
I smiled helplessly, went to the bike shed, pushed my bike, and went home.
...
When Li Simin arrived home, Shang Shiying was still sitting in the living room. Upon seeing him enter, she shooed away her two youngest sons who were watching TV and mysteriously called for Li Simin to come and sit down.
Li Simin sat down, completely bewildered: "What's wrong? Is there something to be happy about?"
Shang Shiying chuckled, "That's a good thing. Luo Jia isn't Shen Qingping's child; she's very likely your Uncle Jiang's child."
Li Simin was surprised: "Uncle Jiang's house? How did you know?"
"It was Zhizhi and Xiye who analyzed it. She is the same age as Zhizhi, but her birthday is unknown. She and Song Wanying were poisoned by the same virus. Also, her blood type is the same as Jiang Zhenhua's."
Shang Shiying clapped his hands: "Tell me, aren't these all too coincidental?"
Li Simin frowned: "Can we really confirm that?"
Shang Shiying shook her head: "Of course, Zhizhi said to go to the paternity testing department to do a paternity test."
Li Simin also believes that it would be the best outcome if Shen Luojia were a child of the Jiang family, so that someone would love her in the future.
Thinking about the wonderful things in her heart, Shang Shiying laughed again: "Let me tell you, I've always wanted to be related to the Jiang family by marriage, but then Zhizhi became your sister. But now, the Jiang family's biological daughter has returned, so can't we be in-laws again?"
Li Simin was shocked and looked at Shang Shiying in disbelief: "Mom, what are you thinking? It's impossible for Luo Jia and me. She doesn't understand anything."
Shang Shiying rolled her eyes: "She wasn't born stupid. Her intelligence was impaired because of a fever, but she's still very smart when she needs to be, so it won't affect your child's IQ."
"She can take care of herself, but her biggest problem is interpersonal relationships. She's straightforward and doesn't know how to handle things, but that's also her strength. Just look at those two times she hit Chen Limin, I found it very satisfying to watch."
Li Simin looked at Shang Shiying with a headache: "Mom..."
Shang Shiying snorted: "Did I say something wrong? You and Luo Jia get along quite well, don't you? This child is very clear-headed. She likes what she likes and dislikes what she dislikes. Isn't that great? You have to use your brain so much at work every day. Coming home and living with such a simple person, you definitely won't feel tired."
"Are you just going to say you hate Luo Jia?"
Li Simin rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache. He didn't answer Shang Shiying's question. He didn't dislike Shang Shiying, but he didn't like him either; he just felt sorry for him.
I feel so sorry for this girl. She's so young, yet she has to go through so much.
However, he couldn't say this to Shang Shiying, otherwise, given Shang Shiying's rich imagination, he would definitely force him to see Luo Jia every day.
Of course, he wouldn't be bothered even if he saw Luo Jia every day.
On the contrary, he felt very relaxed when he was with Shen Luojia. He didn't have to be wary of her or worry about accidentally revealing any secrets he shouldn't have.
There's no need to study how to respond to each of the other party's sentences.
...
Jiang Zhizhi originally planned to go see Jiang Zhenhua the next day, but there was a problem at the laboratory.
She was busy for three days in a row, and finally had some free time to go see Jiang Zhenhua. However, Jiang Zhenhua took Song Wanying to the Jiangbei Sanatorium again, and no one knew when they would return.
Jiang Zhizhi was still a little confused. Didn't Jiang Zhenhua say before that he wouldn't go out recently? Why did he go out again?
With Jiang Zhenhua absent, the paternity test will have to be postponed.
At the same time, she also received an invitation from the Chu family to visit Chu Jiahe and treat his illness.
Zhou Chengzhi glanced at the invitation and tossed it aside: "I'm not going. What a spoiled brat! What kind of nonsense is this? Sending an invitation? Go to the hospital if you're sick! Do you think you're some kind of capitalist?"
