Chapter 574 She's Very Well-Behaved (Part 3)
Li Zheng is Li Yuanchao's son, five years younger than Shang Shang and the others. He is twenty-two years old this year and just graduated from military academy.
I'm currently on vacation at home.
Once inside the restaurant, Shang Shang pinched Li Zheng again: "Aren't you going to call me 'sister' anymore?"
Li Zheng draped his arm over Shang Shang's shoulder and glanced down at her: "Sis, look at your face, people would believe you're only twenty!"
Shang Shang chuckled: "Even if I look young, I'm still your older sister. What are you doing here? With your girlfriend?"
Li Zheng shook his head: "No, Beibei invited me to dinner, but she had something come up and couldn't come. I was about to leave when I saw you. Who were you having dinner with?"
"Zhou Zhiyun and Shen Fanxing."
As Shang Shang spoke, she found a seat by the window, where she could see the parking lot just by looking up.
Just then, Shang Shang saw Pei Yanli walking towards the car, and she also paid special attention to the license plate number.
Li Zheng's attention was entirely on Shen Fanxing at this moment, and he was very excited: "Sister, I heard from my mother that my sister-in-law is very capable. She can read feng shui and face reading. I'll ask her to take a look at me later and see if I can become a high-ranking official."
Shen Fanxing watched Pei Yanli drive away before turning her gaze away, giving Li Zheng a disdainful look: "You grew up under the red flag, can't you be a little more progressive?"
Li Zheng was still curious: "I've seen this before, it's amazing. If she joined our unit, wouldn't it mean whoever wins would win?"
Shang Shang chuckled and looked behind him: "They're here. Ask Fanxing."
Li Zheng didn't come back for the last family dinner, nor did he see Shen Fanxing.
Before Zhou Zhiyun could introduce them, Li Zheng had already stood up enthusiastically and greeted Chen Fanxing: "Hello, sister-in-law, I'm Li Zheng. I've seen all the TV dramas you've acted in."
Shen Fanxing quickly waved her hand: "Okay, let's keep a low profile, let's keep a low profile."
Zhou Zhiyun and Shen Fanxing sat to one side, and Li Zheng went over and sat next to Shang Shang. While pouring tea for Zhou Zhiyun and Shen Fanxing, he said, "Brother, how many years has it been since we last met? The last time was when I was in high school."
"You've been my target all these years."
Li Zheng has a very lively personality. He and Shang Shang and Zhou Zhiyun grew up together. Even if they haven't seen each other for several years, they are still very close when they meet.
As soon as the hot pot arrived, Li Zheng busied himself with cooking the meat.
Since childhood, Shang Shang has always felt a sense of urgency when eating with Li Zheng. He eats quickly, so she has to rush to eat; if she is too slow, she won't get any food.
Zhou Zhiyun knew Li Zheng's personality, so she quickly went to help Shen Fanxing grab the cooked meat.
The four of them instantly became childish and started grabbing at the meat in the pot.
Shang Shang chuckled and punched Li Zheng's arm, saying, "Hey, slow down, can you leave some for me?"
Li Zheng laughed heartily, picked up a piece of meat for Shang Shang, and couldn't help but pinch Shang Shang's cheek: "Sis, you're really a bit clumsy, you're always the last one to finish eating."
Shang Shang thought back to her childhood, to the scene of a group of children fighting over food, and couldn't help but laugh: "You were all like bandits, how can you blame me?"
After eating hot pot, I was sweating profusely, enveloped in the rising steam.
Shangshang's originally fair and rosy face became even more delicate, her eyebrows and eyes curved in a smile, and her eyes shone with light.
Pei Yanli, who had left and then returned, stood at the door for a while.
After taking the briefcase handed to him by the waiter, a professor glanced at Shang Shang before turning and leaving.
...
After lunch, Li Zheng still had to go find Beibei from Li Simin's family, and parted ways with Zhou Zhiyun and the others.
Shen Fanxing said with some emotion, "You have so many brothers and sisters, that's wonderful."
Shang Shang nodded: "There are indeed many. It's mainly because my great-aunt has five sons, so she has many cousins. I'll introduce you to them later."
As she spoke, she took Chen Fanxing's arm and said, "Why don't you let Zhou Zhiyun go back first, and let's go shopping? I haven't gone shopping in a long time."
Shen Fanxing is fine, but if she goes back with Zhou Zhiyun, she'll definitely be carried to the bed again.
She waved to Zhou Zhiyun with a smile, "You go home first, Shangshang and I are going to buy some things."
Zhou Zhiyun had no objection; it was a good opportunity for him to visit his grandparents and maternal grandmother.
Shang Shang didn't really want to buy anything while shopping; she mainly discussed Pei Yanli with Shen Fanxing.
"When I was waiting for you, I ran into him and his colleagues coming out after having dinner."
Shen Fanxing's eyes lit up: "And then? Did you say hello?"
Shang Shang sighed, "No, and I'm sorry, how should I put it?"
Shen Fanxing quickly pulled Shang Shang to a place to sit down: "You don't even dare to greet them? You're the little princess of the Zhou family, what haven't you seen? How can you be so shy?"
Shang Shang blushed slightly: "That's different. When I see him, my heart races and I get a little nervous."
Looking at Shangshang, whose love life was as innocent as a blank sheet of paper, Shen Fanxing smiled mischievously: "Shangshang, this is what it means to like someone. When you meet someone you like, you always feel that you are not perfect enough. And you are afraid of being rejected."
"Be more confident. You're so beautiful and come from such a good family. Now you should be thinking about whether other people are good enough for you."
Shang Shang smiled, her eyes crinkling: "Fanxing, you're so good with words."
Shen Fanxing laughed: "I'm telling the truth. You're so good and so well-behaved, you definitely deserve the best man."
Then he remembered something: "You said others call him Professor Pei? So he's a university professor?"
Shang Shang nodded: "Probably. Next time, next time we meet, I'll definitely give you a call."
Shen Fanxing put her arm around her shoulder: "That's right, happiness should be in your own hands. Who can resist our sweet and soft Shangshang?"
Shang Shang laughed: "I like you so much."
...
Over the next few days, Shang Shang was very busy, spending the entire day in the lab.
There was no chance of going out, let alone meeting Pei Yanli.
Shen Fanxing and Zhou Zhiyun were inseparable, only occasionally going to the company or going home for a meal.
Jiang Zhizhi was worried that the two children were not careful, as they had gotten pregnant before even getting their marriage certificate.
They urged Zhou Xiye to call Zhou Zhiyun's superior to expedite Shen Fanxing's political background check so that the two children could get their marriage certificate first.
After all, Shen Fanxing is a public figure of some importance, and being pregnant out of wedlock is a negative thing.
As Shangshang listened to her mother and father nagging about Zhou Zhiyun, she ate her breakfast, and the image of Pei Yanli flashed through her mind again.
I wonder which university he teaches at?
In a city as big as Beijing, it's very difficult to bump into someone again.
After breakfast, Jiang Zhizhi had some business to attend to at the Health Bureau, so she asked Shang Shang to drive herself to the factory.
Shangshang wasn't in a hurry. She changed her clothes and drove out of the residential compound.
It was rush hour, and the roads were still very congested.
Shangshang was already very careful, but was still rear-ended by the car behind.
He sighed, got out of the car, and was completely stunned.
Staring blankly at Pei Yanli getting out of the car behind them...
