Chapter 63 Preparing Gifts, Heading to the Shen Family
News travels very quickly among close-knit families.
Zhao Zonglan had a girlfriend named Shen Jingni, who was exceptionally beautiful. Mr. Zhao doted on her and spoiled her, so she became arrogant and even dared to vandalize the Song family's property.
The news spread among the Zhao, Xie, Tang, Rong, and other families that afternoon.
Although most of the heirs and young masters of these families knew about this matter, they had never dared to talk about it with their elders without Zhao Zonglan's permission.
After this commotion, everyone in the aristocratic family, from top to bottom, knew about it.
If it were anyone else, it wouldn't have caused such a sensation, but the person involved is Zhao Zonglan, that cold-blooded and ruthless tyrant. There is no one in this world who can admit to having a girlfriend.
This was like an iron tree blooming or the Yellow River running clear, leaving everyone feeling surprised and shocked.
However, for ordinary wealthy families like the Shen family, the news spread rather slowly.
It had to be relayed through multiple channels and word of mouth, so much so that Shen Zhuoyuan didn't see the message in the group until evening, and even then, the message was vague and distorted.
Shen Jingni went to see Wen Shuyi, and just as she returned to Zijing Tanyuan, she received a call from her father.
On the phone, Lao Shen mentioned Zhao Zonglan and seemed very angry, telling her to come home immediately.
She was slow to realize what was happening, and it took her several seconds to come to her senses.
The king has been chosen!
Today, her grand outburst at the Song family's house has definitively confirmed her status as Zhao Zonglan's girlfriend.
The Song family is full of gossips, and He Yunxin is no pushover either. It probably won't be long before the news spreads throughout the capital.
Moreover, her reputation is unlikely to be good.
Too reckless, too impulsive.
Shen Jingni was on the verge of tears, her heart burning with anger, and she rushed into Zhao Zonglan's study.
At that time, Zhao Zonglan had just finished a phone call with Old Mrs. Zhao.
The old lady was overjoyed and told him to find some time to bring the person back to his family to see.
"Zhao Zonglan, how could you do this?"
She had just returned from outside, and she had walked rather hastily. The tip of her pretty nose was slightly red, but her eyes were filled with resentment, as if she were about to confront someone.
Faced with her pouty little face, Zhao Zonglan simply leaned lazily against the desk, his long legs slightly bent, and looked at her with an indifferent expression.
Shen Jingni took two steps forward, grabbed his shirt, and said fiercely and aggrievedly, "My dad already knows about us. Why didn't you remind me before we went to the Song family?"
She should keep a low profile after being reminded.
At least they're not so arrogant and domineering.
Zhao Zonglan looked down at her, his voice indifferent: "I asked you, don't you remember?"
Shen Jingni: "..."
She was focused on saving lives and hadn't thought about this at all.
The old man did it on purpose.
Who would ask, in a roundabout way, if I regret it later?
Shen Jingni punched him twice with her fists, shifting all the blame onto him: "It's all your fault."
After she finished hitting him, she said through gritted teeth, "Now I'm going back to face my parents' interrogation. Zhao Zonglan, you jerk."
That annoying person again.
His kitten can't even swear.
The words "you rascal" sounded even cuter coming from her mouth.
Zhao Zonglan was simply going with the flow in this matter.
This way, everyone will know that the little guy is his.
From now on, not only will the media dare not write nonsense anymore, but those ignorant brats will also have to stay far away from her.
As for the elders of the various families, let them know if they want; no one dares to interfere in Zhao Zonglan's private affairs.
He put his arm around her waist, pulled her into his embrace, and said casually, "I'll go back with you."
"don't want."
Shen Jingni refused almost without thinking.
Her parents' hearts are probably already overloaded tonight. If Zhao Zonglan goes there again, the scene is unimaginable.
Zhao Zonglan frowned unhappily.
Is he something to be ashamed of?
The refusal was so decisive.
Shen Jingni was still angry. She didn't even look at him and said fiercely, "Let go of me. I want to go back."
Zhao Zonglan tightened his grip, forcing her to get even closer to him.
He lowered his head, his warm lips lightly touching her slightly puffed cheeks. She looked up to glare at him, but he captured her lips with his.
From gentle licks to gradually penetrating deeper, he pried open her teeth and entwined his tongue with hers.
He patiently coaxed her to gradually relax her tense nerves.
Zhao Zonglan stepped back slightly, his forehead touching hers, his breathing slightly heavy. "You little rascal."
"snort."
Shen Jingni will not be easily swayed by beauty.
Although I'm not as nervous anymore, I'm still angry.
Before she left, she warned him again, "You are not allowed to come to my house."
Zhao Zonglan did not respond.
His dark, deep eyes looked at her with a mocking expression.
Threats and warnings only emboldened her.
After Shen Jingni left, Zhao Zonglan smoked a cigarette in his study.
Then, he solemnly instructed Chang An: "Prepare gifts and go to the Shen family."
-
Xu Ningwan felt that Shen Zhuoyuan was making a mountain out of a molehill.
Miaomiao is already twenty-two, what's wrong with her dating?
It's not like we're dating too early, and it's not illegal.
Even if the other party is Zhao Zonglan, so what? Isn't he still a human being?
Moreover, they are rich and powerful, and they are also morally upright; they are quite a good match.
Shen Zhuoyuan was really assertive today, and he unleashed a torrent of words: "Look at you, you're so narrow-minded and womanly."
"Who is Zhao Zonglan? He's unpredictable, ruthless, and even threw his own father abroad. Do you think Miaomiao will have a good life with him? How much sincerity can he possibly have?"
"Besides, he's a full ten years older than our daughter. He's an old cow eating young grass, and he's definitely not good-looking. He probably isn't even as handsome as I was when I was young."
"To put it bluntly, he will most likely die before Miaomiao. Who will take care of our daughter after he dies?"
"Others think that our Shen family is taking advantage of us and climbing the social ladder."
Speaking of this, Shen Zhuoyuan got angry: "Pah!"
"I don't care about this ambiguous and high branch."
Xu Ningwan silently rolled her eyes and coldly reminded him, "Watch your words, Shen Zhuoyuan."
"Ahem, honey, I wasn't being mean to you." Shen Zhuoyuan's tone immediately softened, and he hurriedly explained, "Let's stick to the facts."
As soon as Shen Jingni returned home, she saw Old Shen standing in the living room with his hands behind his back, talking to Ms. Xu.
She lowered her head, obediently walked over, and honestly accepted the interrogation.
Shen Zhuoyuan sat down on the sofa next to Xu Ningwan and asked expressionlessly, "Tell me, what is your relationship with Zhao Zonglan?"
Shen Jingni pinched her fingers and answered softly, "I...we are..."
Seeing her stammering, Shen Zhuoyuan immediately couldn't sit still. "Shen Miaomiao, how could you fall for him? He doesn't even have a proper title yet!"
This is truly distressing.
"He's fine."
Shen Jingni said this from the bottom of her heart.
Although Zhao Zonglan was indeed a bit domineering and cold-blooded at times, he was quite good to her.
Seeing her speak up for Zhao Zonglan, Shen Zhuoyuan became even angrier and scolded her with exasperation, "You're love-struck."
Ms. Xu, who was standing next to her, smiled and teased, "Isn't that just like you?"
Shen Zhuoyuan: "..."
At this moment, a servant came to report.
"Sir, Madam, Mr. Zhao has come to visit at the door."
Shen Jingni: !
Zhao Zonglan, that old fox, was definitely doing it on purpose.
I told him not to come, but he came anyway.
Annoying.
"Let him in."
Shen Zhuoyuan was furious.
He wanted to see what kind of person this legendary Mr. Zhao was, that he could so easily deceive his obedient daughter.
