Chapter 759 needs an opportunity for argumentation.
As soon as she got home, the old lady called Shen Jingjing.
She wouldn't worry too much if her youngest son didn't mention it, but once he brought it up, the old lady took it seriously, fearing that her son would actually go.
The Shen sisters had just finished their work and were eating noodles at a noodle shop across from the company when they saw that it was the old lady calling. Shen Jingjing quickly gestured to her sister to be quiet.
Seeing this, Shen Yingying nodded, knowing it was the old lady calling. She knew she had come to Longcheng, and this had to be kept secret from the old lady.
"What's wrong, Mom?"
After answering the phone, Shen Jingjing asked directly.
"Jingjing, has your brother contacted you recently?" the old lady asked tentatively.
Shen Jingjing frowned upon hearing this: "Chengcheng? Why did he contact me?"
"No contact? Okay, I understand." The old lady breathed a sigh of relief.
But Shen Jingjing became nervous: "Mom, did he lose all the money I lent him a while ago? I told you long ago that he's impatient and won't amount to anything. It's no use him contacting me. I don't have any extra money to lend him."
"Oh dear, look what you're saying!" The old lady's attitude changed, and she defended her son again: "He hasn't touched that money yet."
"Besides money, what else could he possibly want to contact me for?" Shen Jingjing asked.
The old lady hesitated for a long time, then muttered, "He said he wanted to go to Longcheng to find Xiaomin..."
In an instant, Shen Jingjing's nerves tightened.
"ah?"
Shen Yingying looked at her sister in surprise, not knowing what they had said on the phone.
The old lady said, "I won't let him go. I'm afraid she'll contact you directly. If he does, you can stop him. You can't let him go to Longcheng."
Shen Jingjing thought to herself, "Do you even need to tell me? I definitely won't let him come."
She knew her younger brother's personality best!
"I understand, Mom. I won't let him come."
Just as she was about to hang up, the old lady said again, "Also, Jingjing, try to contact Xiaomin and see if she is really in Longcheng. It would be even better if you could find her and tell her to come back as soon as possible."
Shen Jingjing replied casually, "Okay, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Jingjing told her sister what had just been said on the phone before she could even ask her.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yingying immediately snorted coldly: "Hmph, I think he's using the excuse of looking for Xiaomin to come after you."
“Ali is so famous now, everyone in your family knows you raised a celebrity daughter. They must think Ali has earned a lot of money for you. It’s too far away for him to ask you for it. But if he comes to Longcheng and asks you face to face, he’ll be sure you’ll give it to him.”
It's obvious that the two sisters understand their younger brother Shen Chengcheng's personality very well.
"That's what I think too."
Shen Yingying added, "He's always been the most glib and shameless person I've ever met. If he really comes, who knows how he'll try to coax you. If he finds out about our situation in Longcheng, things will get interesting from here on out."
“It’s alright, I won’t let him come. Mom doesn’t agree to him coming either. The old lady is probably afraid that he won’t want to go back after he comes. Even if he does sneak over, I won’t see him.”
This is a way of protecting oneself and one's children; one cannot be soft-hearted even towards one's own younger brother.
Shen Jingjing knows that their current life is hard-won, and she has no responsibility or obligation to contribute more to the people in her hometown.
After finishing their meal, the two sisters crossed the street to head back to their company when a car suddenly pulled up beside them.
The car door opened, and Fei Yunzong stepped out, wearing a black, knee-length cashmere coat. Shen Jingjing recognized him immediately: "What brings you here?"
Shen Yingying had never met Fei Yunzong, but in her mind, she subconsciously associated the man in front of her with the big boss who was pursuing her sister. She glanced at her sister's reaction and saw a hint of evasion and resistance in her eyes, so she roughly understood what was going on.
"Jingjing, I have something I want to tell you."
Fei Yunzong spoke softly, his tone calm and not at all intimidating.
That's just how he is. Although he's rich and powerful, he never puts any pressure on Shen Jingjing, which is why Shen Jingjing has never felt annoyed with him.
Fei Yunzong is a very good person, Shen Jingjing has always thought so.
"Sis, should I go in first?"
Shen Yingying felt she should avoid the situation, so she tentatively asked.
Shen Jingjing didn't let her leave, but instead said to Fei Yunzong, "We really should have a talk."
For no other reason than Fei Yunzong's daily act of sending her flowers, Shen Jingjing felt she should have a proper talk with him: "But I have a lot of things to do this afternoon, how about we meet at the teahouse at the intersection tonight?"
"Okay, I'll wait for you." Fei Yunzong didn't waste any more words. As long as Jingjing was willing to meet him, that was enough for him.
"Sis, is this the person?"
As soon as she entered the company, Shen Yingying couldn't help but ask, "The boss who sends you flowers every day?"
“It’s him.” Shen Jingjing sighed. “I’ve been dealing with a lot of things lately. Actually, I’ve been wanting to have a good talk with him for a while now. Since he came on his own initiative today, it’s perfect.”
"I think he's quite persistent... He probably really likes you."
“I know, but we’re really not a good match. He’s not the type to make things difficult for me. I’ll talk to him about it today, and he’ll understand.”
It was almost time, and Shen Jingjing said calmly, "The meeting is about to start. This meeting won't affect you much, so you don't have to go in if you don't want to attend."
Shen Yingying nodded, and after her sister left, she took out her phone and told Shen Ci what had just happened.
There was no other reason; she just subconsciously felt that Aci must also care about her sister's love life.
Shen Ci was also a little surprised when she saw her aunt's message. She did not expect that Uncle Fei would still be so devoted to her mother after so long.
It's a pity she has an immature son, otherwise she would really support Uncle Fei.
But clearly, there is now another potential candidate: Uncle Jiang.
In fact, Shen Ci is not yet sure whether Uncle Jiang really likes her mother as she thinks; everything is based on her observations and guesses.
However, there is no doubt that the relationship and chemistry between the two have changed significantly from before. To find out the answer, a crucial opportunity for demonstration is needed.
And today is just the right opportunity.
Shen Ci opened her chat window with Uncle Jiang, hesitated for a moment, and then sent a message: "Uncle Jiang, are you free tonight? I'd like to invite you for tea. I'll send you the address."
Jiang Yuanliang was puzzled when he suddenly received the invitation to have tea, but since he had nothing to do tonight and it had been a long time since he had seen Aci, he readily agreed.
