Chapter 277 The family can be together again
"Ah Ci, I've already made the butter chicken soup, why hasn't Xingxing come back yet?"
In the kitchen, Shen Jingjing, wearing an apron, poked her head out and asked.
Chen Ci glanced at the time after hearing this and said, "It should be soon. Sometimes they have two evening self-study sessions, sometimes three. The time is not very certain, but they will definitely be home before ten o'clock, which is about the same time as when they were in Shenzhen and Hong Kong."
"He doesn't know you're in Longcheng today yet. He'll definitely be surprised to see you when he comes back."
Shen Jingjing couldn't help but laugh when she heard this: "It's only been a few days since we last met, what's so surprising about that?"
"How can it be the same!" Chen Ci stood up and walked to the kitchen door, leaning against the wall and said, "Your coming here means that our family is reunited in Longcheng, which is meaningful."
Now, when she thought about the fact that their family could finally live together again, she couldn't suppress her joy.
Although the house is big, it can only be considered a home if there is a family. From now on, every time she comes back, it will no longer be quiet and empty.
Speaking of reunions, Shen Jingjing thought of A-li, and couldn't help but look at Shen Ci and ask, "It would be great if A-li was here too. She only had a few days off during the Chinese New Year."
"I don't know if she's having a hard time filming in that remote mountain village. When I send her messages, she always says yes to everything and only reports good news, not bad news."
Shen Ci could hear the worry in her mother's tone and couldn't help but comfort her: "Don't worry, Mom, filming in the mountains is always hard, but in fact, A Li's character is not afraid of hardship. This script was chosen by her own, and she will definitely not regret the decision she made."
"Plus, the filming cycle for this script is very short. It will probably be finished in two to three months at most. She will definitely take a break after filming is finished."
Shen Jingjing nodded when she heard this: "A-Li is grown up now. She looks soft-hearted, but she actually has very strong ideas. She knows what she wants to do, and Mom supports her."
Shen Jingjing said this with confidence, because Ali's grades have always been very good. If it were other parents, it would probably be impossible for them to let their children with such excellent grades take the art exam. But when Ali expressed her thoughts and persistence to her, Shen Jingjing agreed after only thinking about it for one night.
Chen Ci walked forward and gently hugged her mother from behind, and said to her mother like a little girl: "No matter how we grow up, we will always be children in Mom's eyes."
"You always only care about what we want to do and then silently support us. My daughter would like to ask you if there is anything you want to do?"
"Ask me?" Shen Jingjing smiled and turned her head to look at her daughter: "Don't you disagree with me continuing to work?"
"I definitely don't agree to work." Shen Ci refused righteously and gave a reasonable explanation: "Although you have many years of experience working in star-rated hotels, in today's employment environment, your age, education, and even gender do not give you any advantages. Moreover, in a brand new environment like Longcheng, you will definitely not be able to find a suitable job."
"Those are hard and tiring jobs. Not to mention me, Ali and Xingxing wouldn't agree to you doing them either."
Shen Ci was very persistent about this matter. Her mother could have her own things to do, but working was absolutely not allowed.
"Then why are you asking me?" Shen Jingjing said.
"You can think of something to do on your own, right? I can invest in you, like opening a small shop or something. Wouldn't you like that?"
"Flower shops, second-hand stores, or coffee shops, book bars and the like, these all have a big market in Longcheng. If you are interested, you can try them." Chen Ci tried to suggest.
As a result, Shen Jingjing shook her head while listening: "Your mother doesn't have the ability to open a store and do business, forget it."
If she loses money, even if her daughter doesn't feel bad, she will still feel bad. It's conceivable that the cost of opening a store in Longcheng is not a small amount of money.
"Mom just arrived in Longcheng, so let me get used to it first. I'll focus on taking care of you two in the next few months, especially before Xingxing takes the college entrance exam. I'll definitely focus on him. We'll talk about the rest after Xingxing's exam is over!"
Hearing her mother say this, Shen Ci couldn't help but put this thought aside for the time being. But she understood her mother's character. She was still young and would definitely not be able to stay for a long time.
She had to think carefully and plan something for her mother that she could do without being too tired.
At this moment, the sound of a door opening was heard from the entrance. The mother and daughter looked at each other and said, "You're back!"
Shen Jingjing came out of the kitchen to greet her. She saw Xingxing changing shoes and entering the house. The first person she saw was her mother. Shen Xing's expression was startled at first, then turned to joy: "Mom!"
Shen Jingjing smiled and rubbed her hands on her apron, then stepped forward to take her son's schoolbag as usual: "The meal is ready, wash your hands and eat quickly."
Shen Xing was so excited that she pulled her mother aside and asked, "Why didn't you tell me you were coming? I was wondering why the aroma I smelled when I just walked in was so familiar. Is it butter chicken soup?"
"With your sharp nose, you can smell it!"
Shen Ci walked closer, looked at her brother and said, "I'm going to school tomorrow, how can I be at ease leaving you alone?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Xing hugged her mother tightly, put her face close to hers and said coquettishly, "Mom is still the best. Our family can finally be together again!"
*
At this time, the Li family.
"What?"
It was also dinner time when Li Wanchang's low voice suddenly rang out in the restaurant: "Are you sure? Are you sure?"
The person on the other end of the phone responded seriously, "Mr. Li, how could there be a mistake in this matter? I've checked several pieces of information, and they all confirm that the new owner of the Yuanjing Industrial Park, Shen Ci, is undoubtedly Shen Ci, a sophomore at Longcheng University of Science and Technology."
When Li Wanchang listened to the other party's words, he felt like he was listening to a foreign language.
Originally, he still had a lucky mentality, but it couldn't be said to be lucky. He had always believed that the same name was a coincidence, because in comparison, he couldn't believe that Shen Ci, who bought the industrial park at a sky-high price, was his son's ex-girlfriend.
She was an ordinary girl who was once looked down upon by her own wife.
how so?
Mrs. Li, who was standing by, didn't know what had happened. Seeing Li Wanchang's unhappy expression, she couldn't help but ask with concern, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the company?"
Li Wanchang frowned and looked at her. After a while, he suddenly asked, "Have you checked Shen Ci's identity?"
Mrs. Li blinked in confusion and said with a bit of amusement, "Why would I check her identity? Besides, isn't her affair with Xiaozi over? Why are you still mentioning her?"
Mrs. Li still hates Chen Ci when she thinks of him. If it weren't for Chen Ci, her son would not have gone abroad!
