"Okay, Mom, I understand. These are my account lists for today. Do you want to see them?" Shen Ning took out a stack of receipts and invoices from her small bag and asked.
"No, you just handle it. I don't need to look at it. You are better than me at these things." Li Wanqing smiled.
When Shen Ning was the head of the Li family, she kept the house in perfect order and she never had to worry about anything. Now, of course, she trusts Shen Ning.
"Thank you for your trust, Mom." Shen Ning also smiled. After talking to her, he said goodbye and left for fear of disturbing her rest.
"Mrs. Li." Someone called her as soon as she came out and went upstairs.
She looked up.
Lin Shouyu was standing in the corridor, his black gold-rimmed glasses occasionally flashing golden light in the night, and his dark pupils in the lenses were deep, highlighting his mysterious temperament.
"Mr. Lin, do you have anything to do?" He was standing at the entrance of the stairs, facing her, as if he was waiting for her, so she stopped and asked.
"can we talk?"
"Of course."
"Then let's go to the study and sit down." Shen Ning pointed to Li Zhenting's study upstairs.
"good."
The two walked into the huge study, and Shen Ning began to boil water, saying, "It's a very cold night, make some ginger soup to warm your body."
"Thank you." Lin Shouyu sat down on the sofa.
Shen Ning was busy opposite him.
Lin Shouyu's eyes fell on her and he was slightly stunned.
For some reason, he always felt that there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity and intimacy with Shen Ning, which was much better than when he faced Shen Mei.
When he looked at her, his mother's face would appear in his mind. His mother had suffered so much. She had been looked down upon and bullied all those years while raising him.
Gradually, his eyes turned red.
"Mr. Lin, please have some ginger soup." At some point, the water boiled, and Shen Ning had already prepared steaming hot ginger and sugar water and placed it in front of him, but he was still staring at her in a daze. Shen Ning cleared her throat and had to remind him.
"Oh, thank you." Lin Shouyu immediately withdrew his gaze, feeling a little embarrassed, and kept thanking him.
The atmosphere was subtly awkward.
"Miss Chen, did you and Chen Mei grow up together?" Lin Shouyu asked with concern after drinking a sip of ginger sugar water.
But it would have been better if he hadn't asked. As soon as he asked, Shen Ning's face darkened slightly.
"No." She replied coldly.
Lin Shouyu's eyes fell on her nose. They were so similar. Shen Mei's nose had obvious traces of surgery, but hers was almost a replica of her mother's.
At this moment, he almost suspected that Shen Ning and Shen Mei had made a mistake. Shen Ning should be his biological sister!
But the fact is, it was clearly him and Shen Mei who went to do the paternity test that day. Could it be that she and Shen Mei were twins?
"Then where is your mother? Where is she from?" He asked out loud with doubt in his heart.
Shen Ning’s face became even colder: “My mother is dead.”
"Dead? I'm sorry." Lin Shouyu was surprised and apologized immediately, but he asked unwillingly:
"When did your mother die?"
Shen Ning said sarcastically: "What is Mr. Lin suspecting? Are you worried that I am also a fake? You are checking so carefully, like checking the household registration."
"Oh, no, I'm just curious. Miss Shen is so elegant and well-educated. I wonder which mother can educate her daughter so well." Lin Shouyu complimented from the bottom of his heart.
Mentioning her mother Maggie Shiu and remembering her death, Shen Ning's eyes turned red and her heart was filled with sadness.
"My mother is an ordinary person, but she has always taught me to be kind and sincere, and to behave honestly. She is the person I respect and love the most. When she left me, it was my most difficult time. I had no way to save her, and I feel sorry for her." Shen Ning said coldly, with a flash of coldness in his eyes.
At that time, she asked Li Zhenting for help, but he ignored her and did not come back all night. This account is also a pain in her heart!
