Chapter 450 Listen to the words, I'm back
Gu Shuhe pointed at their kitchen and said, "I went to the market with my mom this morning and bought some candied haws. I brought one for you, too. Go get it."
Hearing that there were candied haws, Shen Tingzhi ran to the kitchen.
She brought back the candied haws and handed them to Gu Shuhe first, "Sister-in-law, have you eaten it?"
Shuhe nodded, "Yeah, I've eaten."
“Then eat two more,” Shen Tingzhi said.
Shu He shook his head. "You can't eat too much. It's sour."
Chen Ying said to her again, "Eat yours. Your sister-in-law is pregnant. If she eats too much of this, she may have a miscarriage. Don't harm her."
Shen Tingzhi quickly withdrew her hand, “Oh oh!”
She still wanted to talk about Wu Xinyi, but she didn't dare to say it, for fear of irritating her sister-in-law, so she quickly bit off the hawthorn and put it in her mouth. The hawthorn was sweet and sour, and stopped Shen Tingzhi from saying what she wanted to say.
Jiang Ruoruo listened to the commotion outside and felt indignant, so she opened the door and went to the kitchen, making some "crackling" noises, trying to make Chen Ying and the others notice that there was another person in the yard.
But no matter whether she went out or made a noise and walked from the kitchen to the room, Chen Ying, Gu Shuhe and Shen Tingzhi all lowered their heads tacitly, and no one even looked at her, which really made Jiang Ruoruo angry.
After Jiang Ruoruo entered the room, Shen Tingzhi whispered, “I clearly remember that my second sister-in-law was not like this before.”
"She used to be quiet and gentle. I followed her and my second brother out to play a few times, and she was always gentle and took good care of me. She was willing to buy things for me. How come she has become like this now?"
Chen Ying concluded by saying, "My brain got kicked by a donkey."
Gu Shuhe: "..."
Shen Tingzhi: “…”
——
After being choked by Shen Tingzhi, Wu Xinyi still didn't give up.
She went to the message room again and gave a can of the canned food she brought to the message room master. "Comrade, please help me!"
“I am really a friend of your Minister Shen, believe me, as long as he sees me, he will know that you did not lie to him.”
The master didn't, but he kindly told him, "It's almost the New Year, and we're off work early today. Why don't you wait a little longer? Minister Shen and the secretary will come out soon."
Wu Xinyi had no choice but to continue waiting.
Fortunately, she soon met another acquaintance, Shen Tingyu.
Shen Tingyu's days of being drafted into the army are over, and he plans to go back early to talk to Jiang Ruoruo.
If what his mother said yesterday was true, he must let Ruoruo apologize to his elder brother and sister-in-law.
It is a great help to admit one's mistakes and improve upon them.
If..., if Ruoru insisted on not apologizing...
Shen Tingyu was thinking about something when he heard a shout beside him, "Tingyu!"
Shen Tingyu stopped the car, and Wu Xinyi quickly ran to his side.
Shen Tingyu quickly recognized Wu Xinyi, "Sister Xinyi," Shen Tingyu was surprised to see Wu Xinyi, and his eyes showed joy of seeing an old friend.
Shen Tingyu's "Sister Xinyi" made Wu Xinyi's stiff smile smoother. "Tingyu," she called again, and when she got closer, she smiled and said, "I was afraid that I recognized the wrong person."
Shen Tingyu shook his head, "No, Sister Xinyi, when did you come back?"
"The day before yesterday, I came home the day before yesterday, and thought of coming to see your eldest brother!"
Shen Tingyu asked, "Why don't you go in?"
Wu Xinyi's expression was even more embarrassed, "You are not allowed in."
“Maybe it’s because I don’t know you,” Shen Tingyu explained.
Wu Xinyi nodded, "Yes!"
"Then I'll lead you in!"
Wu Xinyi nodded and said, "Thank you for your help, Tingyu!"
"No trouble, I have nothing to do right now anyway."
Shen Tingci looked at the person his brother brought in, without saying a word, but only looked at his brother deeply.
Shen Tingyu was still happily talking to Shen Tingci, "As soon as I went out, I ran into Sister Xinyi. Sister Xinyi said she had been waiting outside for a long time, and the message room didn't let anyone in."
Shen Tingci calmly closed the document in his hand, “They are doing what they should do.”
"But you..."
"If any documents are lost or leaked today, do you know what responsibilities you will bear?"
Wu Xinyi came out from behind Shen Tingyu excitedly, intending to greet Shen Tingci happily.
Unexpectedly, Shen Tingci didn't even look at her, but just kept blaming Shen Tingyu.
The happiness on Shen Tingyu's face didn't fade at all. Shen Tingci felt a headache and distressed when he saw it. He just raised his hand and said, "Go out and wait for me."
"Oh, okay," Shen Tingyu responded in a low mood.
After Shen Tingyu went out, Shen Tingci set his eyes on Wu Xinyi.
Seeing his old friend again, Shen Tingci had no emotion.
He didn't have very deep feelings for Wu Xinyi.
When they were eighteen or nineteen years old, Wu Xinyi was lively and cheerful. She took the initiative to greet him, send him gifts, and ask him to watch movies. The two of them had a plain and ordinary contact. Later, rumors gradually spread that the two were dating. Wu Xinyi did not defend herself, and Shen Tingci did not explain either.
He didn't hate Wu Xinyi at that time, and he thought that maybe this was how being in a relationship was, so he just accepted the way they were getting along.
Later, the time came to talk about marriage.
But at this time Wu Xinyi said she wanted to go to the countryside.
He told Wu Xinyi, "If you want to build the country, you can stay in your hometown," but Wu Xinyi shook her head and turned to go back to the countryside.
In fact, from that time on, there was no possibility for him and Wu Xinyi.
Even if Wu Xinyi turned back immediately, he would not look back again.
He might have doubted himself after Wu Xinyi left, but he would never go back to her.
The main reason is that Wu Xinyi is not the person he wants to return to.
He would not go back to his ex back then, let alone now that he is almost thirty years old.
Shen Tingci was very calm.
Wu Xinyi was very excited, her eyes immediately turned red, her eyes were red, her lips trembled, "Ting Ci, I'm back."
Shen Tingci was confused, “Huh?”
Now that you're back, what do you want to tell him?
He is neither a family member nor a friend.
Before Wu Xinyi could speak, Shen Tingci chuckled and said, "Comrade Wu doesn't seem to need to specially inform me about this kind of thing."
Just this one sentence made Wu Xinyi speechless for a moment.
She anticipated several reactions from Shen Tingci, hating her, blaming her... but she didn't anticipate this kind of distant, stranger-like reaction.
She paid close attention to Shen Tingci's expression. He really showed no surprise or joy, no sadness or anger. He really looked at her like a stranger.
Shen Tingci didn’t let her look at him any more after he finished speaking, “Comrade Wu, if you don’t have anything else to do, I won’t keep you in this important agency area, please!”
His voice was calm, his expression was indifferent, and his temperament was reserved and cold.
The 28-year-old Shen Tingci is not only a world apart from the 18-year-old Shen Tingci, but also seems like a completely different person.
Even though the eighteen-year-old Shen Tingci was raised by his father, he had no social experience and was extremely immature.
The 28-year-old Shen Tingci was indifferent and reserved. Just by sitting there, people dared not approach him easily.
This is also the reason why Wu Xinyi only said "Ting Ci, I'm back" when she came in.
At first she was unsure of her own weight, and then she felt ashamed of herself.
When they met again, she clearly discovered the gap between them.
She even hesitated and dared not go forward.
The tears just fell.
