Du Hewen drank a whole bottle of wine and showered the room with compliments, showering everyone with praise.
Even a bowl of ginger soup deserves your praise.
“Something unusual must be going on. I won’t accept a reward without merit. Teacher Du, just say what you want.” Shen Shiqing went straight to the point.
"In that case, I won't stand on ceremony with you! Can I take this soup home?" Du He asked with a serious expression, and Shen Shiqing thought she had misheard.
"Hahahaha, Brother Du, are you serious?" Shi Xia clutched her stomach and laughed nonstop.
"I'm serious, Xia Xiao, don't interrupt." Du Hewen pulled out a thermos. "I brought my thermos with me."
"Teacher Du has never had ginger soup before?" Shen Shiqing asked, puzzled.
"Of course not, you made this, so I have to take it back for my wife to try." Du Hewen said proudly, "I'll give her a surprise when I get back, she'll be so touched."
"Yes, I shouldn't have been so talkative. I shouldn't have asked." Shen Shiqing now realized how much Du Hewen cared about his sister-in-law.
Du Hewen went into the kitchen and filled a thermos with ginger soup until it was almost overflowing.
A sentence suddenly popped into Shen Shiqing's mind:
"This is all overflowing with love."
These words seemed like something Du Hewen would say, so Shen Shiqing shook his head, trying to shake them out of his mind.
Du Hewen finished packing and left first, saying that he was afraid his wife wouldn't get a hot drink if he was even a step later.
Shen Shiqing wanted to ask: Is it possible that it can be heated?
Shen Shiqing and the others finished drinking and there was still a lot left, but the staff did not come over, perhaps out of embarrassment.
Seeing that there were still many paper cups in the kitchen, Shen Shiqing poured the ginger soup into the cups.
Shen Shiqing turned to see where Shi Xia was, only to find that she had already disappeared.
Only Lu Jingchu remained.
"Let me help you." It was Lu Jingchu.
"Okay." It's not a bad thing to have another person help.
"It's for the staff, right? They're over there." Lu Jingchu pointed to the room behind the courtyard. "They're all there."
Shen Shiqing saw several staff members coming out and, together with Lu Jingchu, carried the food over.
Although the staff left a little earlier than them, they still got wet in the rain to some extent.
They all worked very hard.
Shen Shiqing handed them the ginger soup, and they declined, but the smiles on their faces were genuine.
Unable to refuse, he accepted and kept thanking her.
They couldn't help but think that Shen Shiqing wasn't as bad as the internet made him out to be.
Indeed, online rumors are not to be believed.
On the other hand, Lu Jingchu's offer was quite different. The staff were all somewhat apprehensive and dared not accept it, after all, this was a movie star.
Fortunately, Lu Jingchu was well-liked and approachable, and with Shen Shiqing's encouragement, everyone accepted him.
Of course, there were also many expressions of gratitude.
"Where's the director?" Shen Shiqing didn't see him.
"The director has an upset stomach from eating too much."
"Hahahaha, you little brat, watch out when the director gets back and deals with you."
Shen Shiqing was amused by them and joined in their conversation, chatting casually.
Lu Jingchu watched from the side and suddenly felt that everything was full of life.
What they didn't know was that a camera had recorded everything.
Upon returning to the living room, they ran into Wen Xinran and Xia Chun's group.
Wen Xinran noticed the half-bowl of ginger soup that Shen Shiqing had left on the table, which he hadn't finished drinking.
"Has Shiqing already drunk the ginger soup? I was thinking of coming down to cook some for us to drink together." Wen Xinran looked at Shen Shiqing, her words sounding concerned, but her eyes revealed something else entirely.
Her words were easy to understand; she was simply saying that she was kind and generous, and that she was willing to cook ginger soup for everyone, while Shen Shiqing was selfish and only drank it himself.
Shen Shiqing understood her meaning perfectly well, but said nothing.
"Hmph, Ranran, don't always be so nice. Some people drink alone and never think of inviting us." Xia Chun said sarcastically.
Why shouldn't I give it to you? Don't you know why? Shen Shiqing was too lazy to argue with her.
Shen Shiqing remained silent, watching them perform quietly.
"It's okay, we should all share what we have. I'm fine with it."
"Ranran!" Xia Chun actually put on a disappointed expression.
"If you want to cook, then cook. Nobody's stopping you." Shen Shiqing didn't want to indulge him.
Before Wen Xinran could say anything, Song Zhihuai couldn't wait to stand up and speak for her.
"Shen Shiqing, don't push your luck. Xinran was just asking you politely, is it really necessary to act like this?" Her indignant look was rather amusing.
"I'm just saying what I want to say, it's none of your business."
"you!"
“Mr. Song, if you want a drink, you can get one yourself. It’s not good to morally blackmail others,” Lu Jingchu said, clearly siding with Shen Shiqing.
Although Shen Shiqing could handle Song Zhihuai on his own, he was still very grateful that Lu Jingchu stood by his side.
"Teacher Lu, Teacher Song is just a bit blunt, please don't mind her," Wen Xinran stepped in to smooth things over. "I'll go cook something now, you can have some too."
"No need, we've already had our drinks." Lu Jingchu always spoke concisely and clearly.
Lu Jingchu and Shen Shiqing walked past them and prepared to go upstairs when Shen Shiqing suddenly turned around.
"Teacher Song, don't forget what you promised me." Shen Shiqing didn't say the last part aloud, but Song Zhihuai knew what Shen Shiqing meant.
Others might not know, but he knew perfectly well that the shape of his mouth was clearly referring to the 3 million.
Looking at Shen Shiqing's smile and considering what he said, Wen Xinran felt a sudden alarm bell ring in her mind.
"Zhihuai, what happened between you and Shiqing?" Wen Xinran deliberately pretended to be a little jealous, hoping to win Song Zhihuai's affection.
"It's nothing, just a small matter, it'll be resolved quickly," Song Zhizhi reassured Wen Xinran.
How could he possibly tell Shen Shiqing that he lost 3 million because he tried to get the money to go easy on him during an arm wrestling match?
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
No third person can know about this, otherwise, how will he save face?
Wen Xinran naturally didn't believe it; there must be something they were hiding from her.
The current relationship between Song Zhihuai and Shen Shiqing makes her somewhat uneasy.
Although the two had broken up and Song Zhihuai was now on her side, she still felt uneasy.
Even Xing Jianan and Qin Shiyue have been acting strangely lately, no longer putting her first and no longer obeying her in everything.
This made her somewhat flustered.
It seemed as if something was slipping out of her control.
This won't do! This isn't what she wants!
What she wanted was for these people to be completely and utterly devoted to her, without any mishaps.
That's how it's been for the past few years, hasn't it?
If she wanted, all these people would be hers, and would belong entirely to her.
There can be no more mistakes!
impossible!
Wen Xinran gripped the suitcase, her palms turning red, but her expression remained unchanged.
Shen Shiqing, I can take your things once or twice, and I can take them three or four times. Just you wait.
Of course, no one knew what she was thinking.
