Chapter 254 Dad is Gone (Page 1/2)
Chen Baomei's eyes moved back and forth between the two of them, making the boy next to Jiang Qiqi blush.
Jiang Qiqi, however, introduced him to her grandmother openly, "Grandma, this is my boyfriend."
Shi Ji extended his hand toward Chen Baomei cautiously.
"Hello, grandma. My name is Shi Ji, which means time. Ji is the abbreviation of Hebei. You can call me Xiao Shi. You've had a hard journey. Let me help you with your luggage."
Chen Baomei looked at the two of them with a smile. This young man was quite polite.
I'm just a little thin-skinned.
She brought a box of food from Yangcheng, and the box was indeed a bit heavy.
"Okay, thank you for your help then."
After handing the suitcase to Shi Ji, Jiang Qiqi smiled and walked over to the side to take Chen Baomei's hand.
"Shi Ji drove here and is in the parking lot. It's a bit far to walk there. My mom and the others were cooking dinner at home and waiting for you, so they didn't come with you."
Chen Baomei understood in her heart that this was because she was afraid that the young couple who followed her would feel uncomfortable.
It seems that Shen Ru is very satisfied with Jiang Qiqi's boyfriend.
When she returned to Yangcheng during the National Day holiday, she didn't have a boyfriend, but in just a few months, they got together.
As expected, when fate comes, it cannot be stopped.
And it feels pretty good to see how they interact and get along with each other.
Now Shen Ru doesn't have to worry about Jiang Qiqi's emotional problems all day long.
Although Chen Baomei had previously opposed Shen Ru's idea of forcing her daughter to fall in love and get married, if this was Jiang Qiqi's personal choice, Chen Baomei thought it was normal.
The children are adults now, so of course everything should be based on their wishes.
"Where is Xiaoshi from?"
Chen Baomei asked casually.
"Grandma, I'm from here. I went to the same university as Qiqi for my undergraduate degree."
"Oh, you have good grades then."
Although locals have an advantage in college entrance exams, being able to attend a top university in the country means being an outstanding talent.
The three of them chatted casually and arrived at Shen Ru's house in a blink of an eye.
Shi Ji sent the two downstairs and said, "Grandma, I have something to do and I'll leave first. When you are free, tell Qiqi and I will take you out for a walk."
Chen Baomei asked him to come up and have dinner with her, but Shi Ji refused.
After dropping the person off, the young man left in a hurry.
Chen Baomei: "He looks pretty good this hour. He knows when to act. Is he studying or working now?"
"He's been working for a long time, and now he seems to be starting his own business. I don't really understand."
Chen Baomei was a little surprised. "Aren't you going to study for a doctorate abroad? Others are in different places, but you are also in different countries. How can you still have a relationship?"
Jiang Qiqi couldn't help laughing.
"There's a plane, it's not like we're going to outer space."
Chen Baomei reminded her, "It's not easy to fly abroad, and problems can easily arise if you're away from home for a long time."
Jiang Qiqi disagreed. "It doesn't matter. If there are problems, it means the relationship isn't strong. Even if you're not living apart, problems will arise sooner or later. Don't worry about it. It's just a relationship, not marriage."
Seeing that she knew what was going on, Chen Baomei stopped talking.
As soon as she got home, Shen Ru quickly asked her mother to take out the mink coat that Guo Xiaoxiao bought for her.
She wanted to see what a coat worth three hundred thousand dollars looked like.
Chen Baomei took out the coat from the oversized suitcase.
As soon as Shen Ru and Shen Yin shook it off, they couldn't help but touch it.
"This feels really good, the style is perfect, and the workmanship is exquisite. No wonder it's sold at this price!"
Although she couldn't afford it, Shen Ru still wanted to experience it.
"Mom, can I try?"
"You can try it, but let me tell you first, this is something Xiaoxiao gave me, and I won't give it to you even if it suits you."
Shen Ru scolded, "Do I look like that kind of person to you?"
She wasn't the type to be tactless and grab the good stuff she saw.
A mink coat, not only Shen Ru and Shen Yin tried it on, but even Jiang Qiqi and Niuniu joined in the fun and tried it on.
During the meal, Shen Ru happily talked about Jiang Qiqi's boyfriend.
"This is really a great opportunity. Not only are the locals not talking about it, but I heard that her parents are officials and her family is well-off. Our Qiqi is considered to have found a treasure."
"Before, I was worried that she wouldn't get married or have children, but now I'm finally relieved."
Jiang Qiqi couldn't help but frown, "Mom, it's too early to talk about this now."
It's just a relationship, you don't have to get married.
Her mother was always like this, and Mr. Ji couldn't help but say these words when talking about her.
Chen Ru: "It's not too early. You are already 27. Most girls your age are married and have children."
When she was this age, Jiang Qiqi was already in elementary school.
Jiang Qiqi didn't like to hear her talk about this.
"There are also people who die in their twenties. Do I have to keep up with them?"
Shen Ru: “…”
Chen Baomei said to Shen Ru, "The child has his own plans, so please stop talking."
"Who am I doing this for? I'm doing this for her own good. If you ask me, she should just give up on that PhD. If she really wants to study in China, she can choose a domestic one. Why does she insist on going abroad? What if she misses out on such a great talent when she's young?"
A good man is hard to come by. If she misses such a good boy when she is young, she will regret it in the future.
Chen Yin couldn't help but chime in, "Our Qiqi is also very good, big sister, Qiqi is already so old, she has her own judgment, don't worry about her."
Shen Ru was amused, "Well, you're already over 30 and still single. You two are really of the same ilk."
Chen Yin laughed and said, "I just don't want to find one. I just can't find a normal man at all!"
Few of the boyfriends she had in recent years were normal, and Shen Yin was scared of them.
She is not single by choice, she is forced to be single.
Instead of lowering your standards just to get married, it is better to be single with high quality.
She smiled at Jiang Qiqi and said, "Qiqi, study hard. When your aunt lives in a nursing home in the future, I'll be counting on you to support me from outside."
Anyway, she will never fall in love or get married again in this life.
She planned her retirement in advance and chose a high-quality nursing home when she could no longer move. With her two nieces to look after her, she didn't have to worry about her life being too bad.
The whole family stood opposite her, and Shen Ru had nothing to say.
Chen Baomei asked Jiang Qiqi about her school application process. Jiang Qiqi calmly said, "I've received two acceptance letters, but I still have to wait."
Chen Baomei didn't understand this. "Can I choose a university?"
Shen Ru: "Of course, she wants to go to Yale University, but she hasn't received the acceptance letter yet."
Although this child has high aspirations, she is also very outstanding and the schools she was admitted to are all very good.
This is really unlike her and Jiang Tianming.
Since you can choose, just wait a little longer."
The Spring Festival in the capital is actually very similar to that in Yangcheng, with the same lights and decorations and the same excitement.
Five people, including three generations of grandparents and grandchildren, squeezed into Shen Ru's small house and spent a perfect New Year.
Thinking of this time in her previous life, when she had already become a cold corpse in the rental house, she couldn't help but feel sad.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the family packed up and prepared to go out for a walk.
Before leaving, Shen Ru received a call from Yang Cheng.
Shen Qin called.
Chen Baomei thought it was a New Year's greeting call, but when she saw Shen Ru putting on a scarf and gloves, she answered the call.
As soon as the call was connected, Shen Qin's anxious voice came from the other end.
"Sister, Dad is gone, please come back quickly."
