Chapter 490 Do you want to come in and sit down?
The villa gate's recognition system accurately identified the family's vehicle, and the automatic door slowly opened to both sides.
It was not until the car drove into the garden and stopped that Shi Ye came to his senses a little.
Shen Ci glanced at him and found that he had a dazed expression, so she couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Shi Ye smiled and admitted frankly: "I just didn't expect this community to be more luxurious than I thought."
Shen Ci could understand that if a normal person suddenly set foot in a place beyond his or her cognition, he or she would inevitably feel shocked. This was not limited to luxurious residential areas, but was true in many fields and scenes.
"Are you feeling pressured?" Shen Ci looked at him with a smile and spoke half-jokingly.
"Yeah, a little bit." Shi Ye licked his lips embarrassedly, but he still acted honestly.
Chen Ci had already discovered this trait when they met last time.
"What? Do you have to be so concerned about matching a girl with someone of the same social status?"
"That's not the case." Shi Ye quickly shook his head and explained, "It's just that this kind of emotion is uncontrollable. I don't want to deny it, nor do I want to pretend to be calm in front of you."
Shen Ci smiled and nodded, then invited him: "Would you like to come in and sit down?"
"Is it convenient?"
"inconvenient."
Tokino: "...N-never mind, maybe next time."
Shen Ci looked at his silly look and laughed even more happily, and hurriedly urged him: "Just kidding, get out of the car quickly, there is no one at home."
After she finished speaking, she opened the car door and got out.
Shi Ye reacted and quickly got out of the car to follow.
"Aci!"
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a call came from the gate, and it was Shen Ci's name.
Shi Ye was startled and subconsciously hid in the shadow of the car as if he was caught cheating.
"Is your family back?"
Seeing his reaction, Shen Ci couldn't help laughing out loud: "Why are you nervous? We are not having an affair."
Shi Ye blinked. Yes, why was he nervous?
He returned to Chen Ci with confidence, and the two walked to the gate together. Standing outside the door was Wang Zhaoning, with her belly bulging, and Sister Lin next to her was holding a large porcelain bowl.
Shen Ci opened the door before saying, "Sister-in-law, didn't you tell me that if you have something to say, just send me a message and I'll come find you."
"It's okay to come out for a walk." Wang Zhaoning said as she looked at Mrs. Lin. Mrs. Lin handed over the porcelain bowl in her hand. Wang Zhaoning explained, "I made some dumplings and thought I'd bring some over for you. They're your favorite ones with corn filling."
Shi Ye took the initiative to reach out and take it. Wang Zhaoning couldn't help but look at the boy again.
"You wrapped it? Don't do these things now that your belly is bigger. You have to be more careful."
"Sister Lin and I made this together. Don't worry. I'm not that delicate, and Sister Lin takes good care of me." Wang Zhaoning said, then changed the subject: "There's something else I want to tell you."
When Shen Ci heard it, she knew it must be about her brother.
She looked at Shi Ye and said, "Take the dumplings in first."
Shi Ye understood and nodded obediently.
After Shi Ye left, Wang Zhaoning said, "Lawyer Qin called me this afternoon and said that your brother's case will go to trial at the end of October, but it will not be open to the public."
At this point, Wang Zhaoning nervously took Shen Ci's hand and said, "Ah Ci, last month another gang leader was sentenced first. That person was sentenced to seventeen years. What do you think of your brother..."
"Sister-in-law, don't let your imagination run wild. My brother said he's not involved in any murders or drug trafficking, so the sentence won't be too severe." Shen Ci wasn't sure herself, because Yan Wenxi was forbidden from visiting before the verdict. She didn't know how much the police had found out, but at this moment, she could only comfort her sister-in-law: "Lawyer Qin is one of the best lawyers in the country, and he has been close friends with my brother for many years. He will definitely do his best. What you have to do now is take good care of yourself and give birth to the baby smoothly, otherwise my brother will be worried in prison."
Mrs. Lin also nodded in agreement: "Yes, Madam, you are pregnant now, you can't worry about it every day, you have to put your health first."
Wang Zhaoning also knew that being anxious was not a solution, but how could she not be anxious?
"Sister Lin, has there been any movement from Yan Wentao recently?" Chen Ci suddenly looked at Sister Lin and asked.
When Mrs. Lin heard this, she clapped her hands anxiously: "Oh, Miss Shen, it's not just a noise, but he's been making harassing phone calls and threatening text messages every day."
"Don't be afraid, sister-in-law. I'm here, and nothing will go wrong."
Wang Zhaoning nodded gently. "Of course I'm not afraid of him. Besides, you took me away and settled me down, and transferred Xuxu to a school here. He was worried because he couldn't find me. I don't read or answer his calls and texts. It doesn't affect me."
"And I know what he's anxious about. Your brother had already carefully planned all the assets under his name a long time ago. He knew that this day would come sooner or later. Therefore, when something happened, the court could only seize a very small amount of property. He had properly arranged the rest, including the company's shares. Yan Wentao knew the importance of these things. Your brother would definitely hide the relevant documents."
“Actually, I didn’t know at first, but I should know now.” Wang Zhaoning held Shen Ci’s hand and smiled slightly: “Your brother gave you those things, right?”
Shen Ci nodded gently.
"He trusts you a lot. I didn't understand why before, but you've been taking care of me these days, and I'm slowly starting to understand." Wang Zhaoning said this. From a distance, she caught a glimpse of Shi Ye standing at the villa door, holding dumplings. She then asked curiously, "Is this boy your new boyfriend?"
Shen Ci subconsciously turned around to look at Shi Ye, only to see him smiling at her with his lips raised, looking very handsome and pleasing to the eye.
"It's still in the probation period." Shen Ci said.
Wang Zhaoning nodded. "Your brother has always felt guilty about your breakup with your ex-boyfriend. Now that he sees that you haven't been affected by it, he'll feel a little better."
"Sister-in-law, that was my own choice. It has nothing to do with my brother. And it's all in the past. Let's not talk about it anymore."
"Okay, let's not talk about it anymore. Then you can go in quickly. Fortunately, I packed some more for you. It's enough for you to eat with that little boy." Wang Zhaoning smiled and waved her hand, then turned and left with her stomach in her hand.
Shen Ci told her to slow down from behind.
After Wang Zhaoning walked away, Shen Ci closed the door again and turned back.
Shi Ye asked while holding dumplings, "Does your brother live in this neighborhood too?"
Chen Ci shook his head: "My brother lives in a much bigger place now."
Shi Ye widened his eyes in shock. It was bigger than this place. What kind of place was that?
The door opened after the face unlock, and Shen Ci leaned over to invite Shi Ye: "Come in!"
