Meet the Young Master of the Shen Family
Jiang Sha originally wanted to mock her clothes and appearance as usual, but she didn't expect that when she looked up, she would see a beautiful and elegant face, with eyes full of bright and confident light.
She couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, unable to believe that her daughter had grown up overnight?
"Why are you..." She stopped mid-sentence.
It may also be that I have neglected my daughter too much in the past, which is why I only discovered her transformation now. If I say it now, it will create a rift between mother and daughter, which would be bad.
Before, she didn't care about her image in her daughter's heart, but things are different now. Last night, Mrs. Shen called personally and said that her youngest son, Shen Zong, fell in love with Ning Qian at the banquet and suggested that they meet for lunch at noon today.
Jiang Sha naturally agreed when she heard this. This was a real estate tycoon with deep roots in northern Beijing. Although they were not a wealthy family, they were better off than most. In northern Beijing, they had an entire office building in the CBD area. Besides, there were only two siblings in his family. Once his sister got married, the Shen family would be his in the future.
Jiang Sha had already made her plans. In the future, the Ning family's property would be divided between the two brothers. As for her daughter, raising her with real money was already the most she could do. If she knew how to give back, it would be best if she could marry into a wealthy family and make the Ning family's business even stronger in the future.
Thinking about it, she gave Ning Qian a rare good look and said with a smile: "We haven't gone out for a walk together for a long time, so it's a good opportunity to buy you some more clothes."
This slightly stiff smile really made Ning Qian feel uneasy.
At this moment, several reasons for refusal flashed through her mind, but she paused when the words came to her lips.
As the saying goes, it is easy to avoid a spear but difficult to guard against an arrow from the dark. You can escape for a while but not for a lifetime. She wants to see what her "nominal mother" is thinking.
"Thank you, Mom." Ning Qian said this with deep emotion, without a trace of reluctance.
Jiang Sha seemed to be surprised that she agreed so readily. Her eyes narrowed. She remembered that in the past, when she asked Ning Qian to go out for a walk, Ning Qian always refused and even found a corner to hide...
This old memory made her a little dazed. How many years had it been since she last went out with her daughter?
She could hardly remember, but ever since she caught her husband cheating on her more than ten years ago and broke down crying every night, she no longer had any affection for her daughter.
"Well, let's go." Jiang Sha smiled, put on sunglasses, carried a valuable platinum bag, and walked alone in front.
Ning Qian followed her silently, looking at her from time to time. To be honest, it was hard for her to understand why Jiang Sha, as a mother, could be so cold towards her daughter.
The two sat quietly in the back of the car, neither of them saying a word.
Ning Qian tapped the seat boredly, as if this could help kill the boring time.
Perhaps to lighten the mood, Jiang Sha took the initiative to speak, "Ning Qian, how was your party yesterday? Did you make any new friends?"
Ning Qian frowned slightly. How could a man who was indifferent to his daughter care about her friendships?
She sneered. Jiang Sha just wanted to test her to find out whether she had met a rich young man.
She glanced at Jiang Sha in a reproachful manner and muttered, "Mom, the most distinguished and most popular person at the banquet is Miss Sheng. Everyone else is busy trying to get close to her, so how could they have time to come and chat with me?"
Jiang Sha hesitated for a moment, as if pondering the truth of her words. She asked doubtfully, "No matter how noble Miss Sheng is, there are only a few people who can gather around her. Are there no other young people around to interact with her?"
Ning Qian didn't attend the formal banquet yesterday, so she didn't know the actual situation, but she couldn't let Jiang Sha see the clues.
She leaned back in the back seat with a slightly disappointed look on her face, her tone inevitably sad. "I'm not some rich girl, and I don't have any aura around me. It's only natural that people don't actively approach me."
Seeing her self-deprecation, Jiang Sha was surprised but also felt a hint of dissatisfaction. She lectured her, "Although our family isn't wealthy, it's not like no one will look down on us. In an occasion like this, you should seize the opportunity to communicate with those elite talents. You've learned so much in school, you can't let it be useless at a critical moment, right?"
"Mom, what you said makes sense, but people just don't want to pay attention to me. What's more, the rich girl next to me is dressed so luxuriously. How can I compare to her? Look at this dress I'm wearing, it's from two years ago."
Ning Qian touched her dress and complained.
Jiang Sha glared at Ning Qian unhappily, "Aren't we taking you out shopping to buy you clothes?"
She looked at Ning Qian carefully again. Her face wasn't the most beautiful among all the girls, but at least her eyes and teeth were impeccable. She continued to ask, "So you didn't meet any boys you liked at the party? Do you really have no feelings for them at all?"
"What's your idea?" Ning Qian turned her head to look at Jiang Sha, her amber eyes full of seriousness.
Jiang Sha felt embarrassed when she heard this. Although her daughter was already 21 years old, they rarely communicated so intimately, let alone talked about her feelings.
"You're not young anymore, you're 21 this year. I think you understand what I'm talking about, right?"
Ning Qian pretended to realize it belatedly and said "hmm" before asking simply and clearly, "You mean you want me to take the initiative to chat with them, right?"
Jiang Sha felt annoyed after hearing this. She looked out the window with a gloomy expression and said impatiently, "I'm also thinking about your lifelong event."
Ning Qian could see through her guilty conscience and chuckled, "Mom, I know your good intentions, but I really haven't met anyone I like right now."
Jiang Sha felt that she would not be able to get any information out of him by continuing to ask like this, so she decided to get straight to the point and ask, "Do you have any impression of the famous Shen family in northern Beijing? I remember the young master of the Shen family also attended this banquet."
"What young master of the Shen family? I don't remember this person." Ning Qian really didn't know this person.
Jiang Sha glared at her and said with dismay, "He's the son of Shen Zheng, the incredibly wealthy real estate tycoon in Beijing!"
Ning Qian thought about it for a while, then shook her head. "I really don't have any impression of this. Does our family have any relationship with the Shen family?"
Jiang Sha was almost mad at her. Even after talking so much, she still couldn't understand what she meant.
"I think Shen Zheng's son is 25 this year. His family is quite anxious for him to get married. I thought if we were really suitable, we could get to know each other and become friends first."
Oh, so all these words were just a prelude to this sentence.
Ning Qian had a hint of sneer on her lips and asked directly without hesitation, "Mom, do you want me to get married?"
Jiang Sha felt an itch in her throat and coughed twice, then smiled and said, "If you agree, your father and I have no objection."
"But I haven't met him yet. I don't know anything about his appearance or character. Isn't it too early for you to say this now, Mom?"
"Don't worry, Mom will take care of it for you. The Shen family is big and powerful, so they will definitely not raise the child too badly."
Ning Qian smiled sarcastically. It seemed that Jiang Sha was determined to introduce her to someone, so no matter how many times she refused, it would not make much sense.
"Okay, let's get to know this person first."
Hearing her say this, Jiang Sha felt relieved. A comfortable smile appeared on her face, and she said earnestly, "Mom, I tell you, I can't be wrong when judging people. The Shen family only has two children. The family relationship is simple and there are not many things to worry about. Let's not talk about anything else. Just say that the Shen family is so wealthy. It's the dream of many people. You will live with his son in the future and enjoy the good life. You can just be at ease and be a rich wife. Occasionally, you can let Mom get some of the glory. I will be satisfied."
Ning Qian felt a chill in her heart when she heard this. If there really was such a good family, would it be her turn?
"Mom, did the Shen family tell you something?"
Jiang Sha glanced at her with disdain, thinking to herself that her daughter was really ungrateful.
"Then I won't hide it from you. I'll be frank with you. The Shen family did contact me last night. It was his wife who called me personally. She told me that her youngest son was very satisfied with you in every aspect and was interested in choosing you as the Shen family's future daughter-in-law."
Hearing Jiang Sha's boastful tone, she found it ridiculous.
Last night, before the banquet officially started, she hurriedly left. How well could the Shen family know her? Moreover, based on just a brief encounter, could they conclude that she was suitable to be their daughter-in-law?
"Mom, you're not being deceived, are you?"
"No." Jiang Sha waved her hand confidently and said firmly: "Your father has asked the Shen family for help before, this landline number cannot be wrong."
Ning Qian's eyes were cold and she kept sitting sideways.
It turns out that they have this kind of relationship with the Shen family. No wonder they couldn't wait to offer their daughter away after receiving the olive branch thrown by the Shen family.
“What does Master Shen look like? Can I see a photo?”
This made Jiang Sha stunned. She had never seen a photo of the young master of the Shen family.
"You can find out by searching online. The Shen family should be able to find it online."
Ning Qian was so angry that she almost laughed at this strange mother who dared to ask her to marry this man without even seeing his photo.
"Then Mom should know his name, right?"
Jiang Sha thought for a while before slowly speaking, "Chen Zong, a genius, sounds so nice."
Ning Qian was speechless for a moment, and silently typed his name in the search box, pressed search, and scrolled down several pages before finding this person's profile.
She took a casual look and found that he was not ugly.
Just as I was about to close the webpage, it suddenly refreshed with several pieces of gossip about Chen Zong and the young model.
Words like getting drunk late at night, groups of young models, and having fun in hotels made her eyelids jump.
She immediately showed Jiang Sha the screen of her phone and scolded her, "Mom, look at his behavior. He doesn't look like a person of good character."
Jiang Sha took a look and frowned unconsciously, but she was determined not to believe the rumors on the Internet. She pushed the phone away and said disdainfully: "What are you searching for online? These media deliberately ruin my reputation. They really can write anything for money. How can I not be a good child? The Shen family is very wealthy and is well-known for being a good family in the circle. There are so many people who want to marry into their family. These people are just sour grapes!"
Even with the evidence pictures right in front of her, Jiang Sha still didn't believe it.
Ning Qian was too lazy to continue arguing with her. Thinking of the other person in charge at home, she asked, "Does my dad know about this visit to the Shen family?"
Her father should know something about the Shen family. If he knew everything and still insisted on letting her go to see the couple, it would really disappoint her.
Jiang Sha paused. She naturally hadn't told Ning Maoxun about this yet. After all, Ning Maoxun still had some affection for his daughter. He probably wouldn't let his daughter go to see the man until he had investigated thoroughly.
But she was anxious. What if someone else got there first and took over such a wealthy family?
It is not easy to cross the class barrier and marry into a wealthy family in Beijing. Not every family has a son. If you delay for a moment, you might be noticed by others in the next second.
Some are even more outrageous, where their babies are arranged to be married right after they are born!
If you don't seize the opportunity this time, it will be difficult next time.
Jiang Sha looked unhappy and said ambiguously, "Your father naturally trusts me to arrange this matter. I am your mother, and any talk of marriage must pass my test."
Ning Qian had a cold smile on her face, not even bothering to address him with a respectful title. She simply said, "Then let's meet first."
"Okay, I know Ning Qian listens to her mother the most. No matter what happens, she won't harm you." After saying that, Jiang Sha was still worried that she would be dissatisfied and secretly play tricks, so she said in a flattering way, "Isn't it still necessary to listen to your opinion?"
Ning Qian narrowed her eyes and asked word by word, "Does my opinion matter?"
Jiang Sha clearly sensed her displeasure and raised her brows with an annoyed look on her face. "What do you mean by that? Why are you talking like you're stabbing me in the face? If I didn't value your opinion, would I have personally brought you out? I might as well have just discussed the decision with Mrs. Shen!"
Ning Qian looked like she saw everything but refused to say it. Since she could make the decision herself, why did he bring her out to discuss it? Wasn't it because he was afraid that she would make a decision and then not cooperate, which would make her lose face and unable to resolve the situation?
She pursed her lips slightly, looking as if she was too lazy to argue, "That would be best."
After she finished speaking, she closed her eyes and rested. She wanted to see how Jiang Sha would end up.
