Chapter 796 The Tone of a Rich Person
Shen Jingjing greeted Jiang Yuanliang, who wanted to make time to go back with her, but Shen Jingjing refused.
Three days later, Shen Jingjing took Shen Ci and Shen Yingying back to Funan by plane.
In May, Funan was already starting to feel muggy, and as soon as you landed, you could feel the humidity in the air.
"This newly built airport is quite beautiful, sis. It's been seven or eight years since we've been back."
"Eight years."
Shen Jingjing remembers clearly that the last time she came back was eight years ago, and after that, she stopped going back to her hometown because her three children were taking the college entrance examination one after another.
"sister!"
As soon as he came out of the arrival gate, Shen Chengcheng, who was there to pick him up, immediately recognized his two older sisters and waved excitedly.
Shen Jingjing and Shen Yingying smiled when they saw their younger brother. No matter what, they couldn't just look gloomy when they met.
"Oh my, you two are getting younger and younger! I almost didn't recognize you!" Shen Chengcheng took the luggage from Shen Jingjing's hands and subconsciously scanned the group as she spoke.
Putting everything else aside, Shen Jingjing really looks young and beautiful; you can't tell she's in her forties at all.
In recent years, Shen Yingying has also started to pay attention to skincare under Shen Ci's guidance, and her condition is also very good.
Moreover, both of them were dressed very expensively, especially the diamond ring on Shen Jingjing's hand, which was over thirty carats and dazzling.
Shen Chengcheng, on the other hand, is the younger brother of the two sisters, but because he was born and raised in Funan and doesn't pay attention to sun protection, he is dark-skinned and looks older than his two older sisters.
"Oh, is this Aci? Oh my..." Shen Chengcheng noticed Shen Ci and immediately recognized her as a wealthy girl from a big city. She exclaimed in amazement, her eyes widening: "She's so beautiful! Last time she came back, her face was still a bit green, but now she's fully grown up and has become a young lady!"
Shen Ci, mindful of the situation, called out, "Second Uncle."
"Hey, hey." Shen Chengcheng was overjoyed. Seeing is believing. Before, she had thought that her eldest sister's life must be getting better. Now that she saw it with her own eyes, she was convinced. She couldn't help but become even more enthusiastic: "The car is parked outside. Let's go."
Shen Yingying couldn't help but glance at her sister and muttered under her breath, "Last time we came back, who came to pick us up? Do you remember when we had to take a taxi home in the pouring rain?"
Shen Jingjing certainly remembered, but now when she thinks about it, she just finds it funny. Coupled with her brother's current attentive manner, she feels nothing but irony.
The car was the only sedan in the family, a Volkswagen sedan that cost less than ten yuan.
Normally, it's the car that the eldest brother, Shen Mingming, uses to get to and from get off work. Today, Shen Chengcheng borrowed it from her older brother because he was coming to the city to pick them up.
Shen Jingjing sat in the passenger seat, while Shen Ci and her aunt sat in the back seat.
"Mom is waiting for you at home. Knowing you were coming back today, the old lady started preparing yesterday. She bought chicken, duck, fish, meat, and seafood. Zheng Hong said she had to take care of the welcome dinner. She will come back to cook as soon as she gets off work."
I thought my sister would be happy to hear this and would say something like "thank you for your hard work."
As a result, Shen Jingjing simply instructed softly, "Chengcheng, Aci has booked a hotel. Follow this navigation, and we'll go home for dinner together after we've settled in at the hotel."
"Huh?" Shen Chengcheng was startled and turned to look at her sister in confusion: "Why did you book a hotel? We're already home, why are we staying in a hotel?"
Before Shen Jingjing could speak, Shen Yingying interjected, "The number of rooms in the house is limited. Da Bao, Er Bao, and Tao Tao are all big boys now, how can they be divided up?"
“My sister has been suffering from neurasthenia lately and sleeps lightly, so she has to sleep in her own room. Ah Ci is also growing up and needs her own private space.”
"Last time I came back, we were living in cramped conditions. My sister and I squeezed into the south storage room, and the house leaked at night, don't you remember?"
One sentence silenced Shen Chengcheng.
Shen Jingjing said, "Longyang is such a small place. Staying in a hotel makes it convenient to go home. Things are different now than before, where you can stay however you feel comfortable."
Shen Chengcheng smiled awkwardly, realizing that her sister's tone was that of a wealthy person.
"Okay, just give me the navigation for which hotel."
"Fengtian Hotel".
Longyang Town is not big, and people like Shen Chengcheng, who spend their days idly wandering around the town, know exactly what hotels are in town.
So when he heard the hotel's name, he perked up: "Wow, Fengtian is the best hotel in our town, sister."
"Really? Aci searched for a long time but couldn't find one she liked. In the end, she had no choice but to choose the most expensive one, thinking that you get what you pay for and that the environment would be better."
"You should have said so earlier. My brother has influence in town. If he were to order it through us, we could get a discount, which would be much cheaper than ordering online."
Shen Jingjing said, "Don't trouble your brother, he's always so busy."
They chatted casually like this for over an hour before finally arriving in Longyang Town.
The town hasn't changed much, except for a few more high-rise residential buildings, but they're not very tall, at most a dozen stories.
This place is famous for its peaches and loquats, but it is relatively unknown throughout the country. Both income and consumption are low, but it is not lacking in wealthy business owners.
Upon arriving at the hotel, Shen Chengcheng busied herself helping with the luggage, putting on a good show.
"Did you book three suites?"
"Yes."
Three suites?
Shen Chengcheng looked at the price list on the wall at the front desk in surprise. The suite was four times the price of a regular room.
And one person per room?
This lady has really struck it rich!
"I'll do it, I'll do it!" Before Shen Chengcheng could even react, the check-in was already done, and he immediately started fawning over her, doing everything he could to her.
Shen Ci wanted to laugh.
Shen Jingjing and Shen Yingying exchanged a speechless glance.
Ah Ci was right. When you have money, everyone around you becomes nicer.
That works too. Whether it's genuine or not, it's better than coming back feeling angry.
The hotels in town, no matter how good, are nothing compared to those luxurious high-star hotels, but at least they are clean and smart, with smart control throughout the entire room, including the toilet.
Shen Chengcheng had never stayed at the "Fengtian Hotel" before, and couldn't help but look around curiously as soon as he entered the room.
"This apartment must be at least 100 square meters, and it has a mountain view."
"Okay, okay." Shen Jingjing put down her luggage and took out the things she wanted to bring home for her family: "Take these things home with you, don't let Mom wait around. Let's go back."
Shen Chengcheng readily agreed and then eagerly went to help carry the things, bustling around like a happy teddy bear.
At the entrance of her house in the courtyard, the old lady sat in the shade, chatting with a group of elderly neighbors. She mentioned that her eldest and youngest daughters had come back today to visit their father's grave, which prompted the elderly to boast about them.
The old lady was pleased with herself. Even though she didn't like her two daughters, she still had to put on a good face in front of outsiders.
She looked up and saw her boss's car turning from the intersection. She quickly stood up from the bench and took two steps forward to greet him: "You're here, you're back."
