Shen Tongwen was very frightened. He looked through the rearview mirror at the mischievous guy sitting in the back seat and asked hurriedly, "How did you know?"
Shen Jiaojiao smiled like a fox.
"It must be Sister Xia who told me, second brother. When you left us last time, Sister Xia actually came to look for you, but you two happened to be at the same time and missed each other."
Shen Tongwen's heart sank and he felt a little sad.
It turns out that in this relationship, Shumo has always been the active one.
But he was like a turtle, not even having the courage to confess for the sake of so-called face.
He really needs to reflect on himself.
Shen Jiaojiao continued, "Sister Xia said that she had never said she wanted to cancel the engagement, and you had no plans to cancel the engagement, but the message you two received was that the other party wanted to cancel the engagement.
I think there must be some misunderstanding here.
It is more likely that someone is interfering, and their purpose is to not let you two get married smoothly."
Shen Tongwen's expression gradually became serious.
At this time, I also remembered something very important.
"It was Shumo's cousin, Xia Wenwen. At that time, Xia Wenwen came to me and said that Shumo had someone she liked and didn't want to marry me.
I didn’t think too deeply about this at the time, but now that I think about it, there must be something wrong with Shumo’s uncle’s family.”
Shen Jiaojiao asked, "Where is Sister Xia now?"
Shen Tongwen said, "I've already gone home."
Shen Jiaojiao said solemnly, "Second brother, Sister Xia is a very good person. You must cherish her in this life and don't lose her again."
As soon as these words came out, Xu Mo held her hand tighter, and Shen Jiaojiao immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing.
As expected, Shen Tongwen frowned and asked, "Jiaojiao, what do you mean by this life? Could it be that I have lived for several lives?"
Shen Jiaojiao felt a little guilty. She held Xu Mo's hand back, and her palms began to sweat.
"I just said it casually. What I meant is that you should stop being a coward. Sister Xia has taken the initiative. If you are still hesitant, you are not a gentleman."
Shen Tongwen was driving at the time and had no time to chat.
He secretly vowed that he would cherish Xia Shumo from now on.
Shen Jiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, my second brother didn't ask any further questions.
Just thinking about the ending of my second brother and Sister Xia in the previous life, I feel really sad!
I hope they will have a good ending in this life.
Must be happy and live together till old age.
Shen Tongwen did not drive the car back directly, but went to the department store as Xu Mo requested.
Xu Mo carefully selected a gift for each of the elders from his mother-in-law's family, and then he walked towards the military compound with satisfaction, carrying the gifts.
At this time, in the military compound.
The entire Shen family gathered at the gate of the compound, looking forward to it.
Grandpa Shen supported Grandma Shen, and Father Shen held Mother Shen's hand. The four of them stood like guards, with their heads raised in the cold wind, waiting for their baby to come back.
Everyone in the compound is very puzzled!
What are the Shen family doing? They have been standing at the door for almost an hour.
Entering the courtyard, there is a century-old banyan tree. There are wooden tables and chairs under the tree. People often chat and play chess under the tree.
This is probably similar to an information gathering place at the entrance of a rural village.
At this time, there were also many people sitting under the big banyan tree, chatting and playing.
Someone asked curiously, "Mr. Shen, are you waiting for someone?"
Old Master Shen raised his head proudly and said, "My good granddaughter will be back today. Wait for my good granddaughter."
Speaking of his beloved granddaughter, Mr. Shen immediately became talkative.
"My little Jiaojiao came back from the countryside to spend the New Year with me."
Everyone in the compound immediately thought of the little devil Shen Jiaojiao.
Before going to the countryside, Shen Jiaojiao was famous in the compound.
Arrogant and unreasonable.
I have done a lot of stupid things.
Anyway, whenever people in the compound mentioned Shen Jiaojiao, they would frown, shake their heads and sigh.
Not a good impression at all.
I don't like it even more.
They are all very puzzled!
Every member of the Shen family is a talented person, but why is it that when it comes to Shen Jiaojiao, she is like a useless piece of clay?
The Shen family felt extremely sorry for Shen Jiaojiao.
I don’t know what they are thinking.
It can be described in one sentence: A loving mother often spoils her children!
Shen Jiaojiao could become what she is now thanks to the doting and indulgence of the adults.
But most people don't dare to say these words openly. After all, Mr. Shen has a bad temper, and no one in the Shen family is a weakling, so no one dares to offend the Shen family!
But old man Chen who lives next door to the Shen family is different.
Mr. Chen has been competing with Mr. Shen for most of his life, so how could he miss the opportunity to make fun of Mr. Shen?
Old man Chen walked to the gate with his cane.
Those who were watching the show said, "The little devil is back. Now no one in the compound can rest in peace again."
Old Master Shen frowned and glared at Old Master Chen, "Shut your stinky mouth, and don't say anything bad about my good granddaughter. Get out of here right now."
Old man Chen straightened his body and said unconvincedly, "This gate belongs to you! You tell me to leave and I'll leave? I won't leave.
You still call her a good granddaughter? You, Shen Zhenhua, must have become senile and confused, raising your granddaughter to be spoiled and domineering, and you still have the nerve to show off.
If it were me, I would have shot myself in the head and died without any shame. "
Shen Zhenhuateng became popular.
When you go forward, you have to lecture and teach people theoretically.
"You old man, you have a really foul mouth. You dare to say that about my good granddaughter? I have to teach you a lesson today."
The rest of the Shen family quickly grabbed Shen Zhenhua.
Grandma Shen advised, "Zhenhua, calm down. Lao Chen is your former comrade-in-arms."
Shen Zhenhua said angrily, "If he calls me a good granddaughter, I will punish him."
Old Chen was not afraid at all, "Come on! If I were afraid of you, I would take your last name."
Shen Zhenhua wanted to go over, but was held back by Grandma Shen.
Grandma Shen was angry, "Zhenhua, if you don't listen to my advice, I will be really angry."
Shen Zhenhua immediately wilted.
Looking at Lao Chen, he snorted heavily, expressing his dissatisfaction.
Lao Chen looked very proud and powerful, like a victorious rooster.
Old Master Shen sneered, "You old fool! This is our Shen family's business. I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. Sometimes talking too much can be annoying.
We in the Shen family naturally know how to educate our children, and there is no need for outsiders to make irresponsible remarks.
Besides, my little Jiaojiao has changed now and has become very filial. "
Old man Chen pursed his lips and said, "No one can be as filial as my granddaughter? My granddaughter is well-behaved, obedient, capable and smart.
And he has already been admitted to the inner cabinet, so his future is limitless."
Talking about his granddaughter, Old Chen couldn't stop feeling proud.
Grandpa Shen gritted his teeth and snorted, "My eldest grandson has even entered the inner chamber. Isn't it just the inner chamber? Why are you showing off?
We never use these titles to talk about anything in our family, but some people just like to show off. "
"I just like to show off, my granddaughter is just well-behaved and obedient, so what? If you are not satisfied, come and hit me!"
Shen Zhenhua was very angry, and the rest of the Shen family were also speechless about this old Chen.
But they didn't say much.
After all, Lao Chen retired from the army for meritorious service and had a reputation to his credit, so he deserves respect.
"Grandpa, why are you arguing with Grandpa Shen again?"
