Chapter 774 A Strange Turn of Events
Li Wanchang's heart immediately skipped a beat.
He hesitated, his lips twitching slightly. He wondered if Qiu Chu knew that Shen Ci was Li Xiao's ex-girlfriend. What if he accidentally said the wrong thing...?
Before he could react, Qiu Keying interrupted, "Dad, what grudge is there? It's just that this Shen Ci used to pursue Li Xiao, but she's a wicked person. Li Xiao didn't end up with her, so she holds a grudge and makes things difficult for him at every turn."
"With ill intentions?" Qiu Chu asked, puzzled.
"She took advantage of her pretty looks and deliberately chose to pursue rich guys, but she didn't expect that Li Xiao wouldn't fall for her at all."
Qiu Chu remained remarkably calm, seizing the flaw in his daughter's words: "She's not only the largest shareholder of 'Shuiyunjian' but also able to fully acquire 'Yunshang Tiangong,' so her family background must be quite powerful. Why would she pursue a boy for money?"
Isn't this a contradiction?
Qiu Keying naturally couldn't explain it clearly, because even Li Xiao himself couldn't explain it clearly.
"Well, whatever I said is true. Li Xiao was also surprised by the changes in her after a year abroad. She used to be a vain girl, who knows how she turned out like this. Who knows where that money came from!"
That money?
The total value of just the two places, "Shuiyunjian" and "Yunshangtiangong", is as high as hundreds of thousands, which cannot be summarized simply as "that money".
Li Wanchang tried to speak: "He is indeed Li Xiao's former college classmate. I've met him a few times, but we're not close."
His words were ambiguous; he did not deny that Li Xiao and Shen Ci knew each other, but he did not mention any specific details.
Qiu Chu nodded, but the cancellation of his "Shuiyunjian" membership was indeed a troublesome matter and had delayed him a lot of things.
Not only his daughter was affected, but Qiu Chu also used to like to do business at "Shuiyunjian". He was very used to everything there and liked it very much.
Now I have to look for other places every time, and I'm not satisfied with any of them.
Qiu Chu wondered if he should find an opportunity to get to know this young woman later. Although she was young, she was already the owner of two top-tier high-end business clubs in the country, and he was willing to make her acquaintance.
But then, his expression suddenly froze.
Because he saw that a "big shot" was walking up to the little girl and chatting and laughing with her.
It was none other than Jiang Yuanliang!
"Mom! Uncle Jiang!"
Shen Ci was pleasantly surprised to see the two of them, but then she understood that it would be strange if Uncle Jiang, with his status and position, didn't come to such an occasion.
"You said you had something to do tonight, so you came here?" Shen Jingjing was equally surprised to see her daughter.
Su Zheyuan quickly said, "Auntie, I begged Aci to come."
Shen Ci said, "I'm not entirely here to accompany Zheyuan. I had met Master Yu once before and have great respect for him."
“Master Yu is indeed highly respected. There are many people here today. If you have the opportunity to visit again next time, I will introduce you to the master,” Jiang Yuanliang said.
"Really? Then thank you in advance, Uncle Jiang."
Jiang Yuanliang laughed and said, "We're all family, so let's not talk like that."
This sentence speaks louder than a thousand words. Shen Jingjing couldn't help but look at Jiang Yuanliang tenderly, and Shen Ci chimed in, "You're right, I was being too polite."
"Uncle Jiang, when are you getting married?"
These words startled Su Zheyuan, who was standing to the side!
marry?
Chairman Jiang and Aunt Shen?
What kind of couple is this?
He glanced at Shen Ci, then at Aunt Shen, and then at Chairman Jiang.
My heart was pounding with anxiety, like a badger jumping around because it couldn't get any gossip!
"Aci!" Shen Jingjing called out to her, warning her with her eyes not to talk nonsense.
How can I ask this question face-to-face?
Moreover, she herself hadn't even thought about this issue. The two of them had only been together for a short time, and it was too early to be considering marriage.
Then Jiang Yuanliang said, "That depends on your mother's wishes. She can do it anytime if she wants."
This unintentional yet utterly resolute promise is truly touching!
Shen Ci herself screamed in her heart for her mother, and Shen Jingjing's heart was burning with excitement, her palms sweating as she listened.
"But Aci, if that day really comes, would you be willing to change your address?" Jiang Yuanliang suddenly asked, looking at Shen Ci.
He had a smile on his lips, but he asked the question with unusual seriousness.
Shen Jingjing was startled and subconsciously observed her daughter's reaction.
Then Shen Ci suddenly smiled and nodded without any hesitation, saying, "Of course!"
In Shen Ci's heart, the word "Dad" carries no weight; she has no emotional attachment or spiritual dependence on the identity of her father.
For her, whoever is truly sincere to her mother, loves her, cherishes her, and protects her deserves the title of "father" and "dad"!
That's right, changing how she addresses someone is just a form of address for Shen Ci; she has nothing to be ashamed of saying it!
Jiang Yuanliang smiled, a smile that was clearly visible to the naked eye.
Shen Jingjing smiled, but her gaze towards her daughter couldn't help but become slightly moist. She could probably understand what her daughter was thinking.
Only Su Zheyuan, standing to the side, wore an expression as if he had just heard a shocking piece of gossip.
Those in the distance didn't know what they were saying, but the harmonious scene of Shen Ci and Jiang Yuanliang chatting and laughing was witnessed by many.
"Chairman Jiang?"
Qiu Chu murmured, "He seems to be very close to this little girl."
This wasn't the first time Li Wanchang had witnessed such a scene; Shen Ci had appeared at the Jiangdong Group's charity gala before.
But the two of them were clearly in a different state today.
It wasn't until Mrs. Li whispered a reminder from the side, "Honey, look at that woman next to Chairman Jiang, isn't that Shen Ci's mother?"
"Really?" Li Wanchang asked doubtfully, though he didn't have much of an impression of Shen Ci's mother.
But Mrs. Li remembered it more clearly: "It was her!"
Li Wanchang's eyes widened slightly. Jiang Yuanliang and Shen Ci's mother...
What a bizarre turn of events!
Qiu Chu, regaining his composure, said, "If she has a connection with Chairman Jiang, then this young girl's background and strength make sense."
When you are confused about something, you need to find a solid foothold for it.
If Jiang Yuanliang is the fulcrum, then everything makes sense!
Mrs. Li quickly dismissed the ridiculous and absurd conjecture from her mind and gently squeezed her husband's arm: "She's probably Chairman Jiang's date tonight."
Li Wanchang was unaware of the details and dared not speculate.
After experiencing so much and seeing so much, he felt that anything was possible for Shen Ci.
"No matter what, behave yourself tonight and don't provoke her again," Li Wanchang whispered to his wife.
Mrs. Li nodded reluctantly, not daring to be rash.
