Chapter 60 Xiaozhou's Friends
As the two were talking, Shen Sangsang came down from upstairs.
At this moment, everyone in the living room stopped talking and looked at the person who came.
Shen Sangsang naturally felt that their eyes were on her. She walked to the table and whispered, "Get up...it's late."
Mrs. Shen, who had been sitting at the head of the table without saying a word, finally spoke after hearing her words: "Are you asking everyone to wait for you alone?"
At this time, Shen Yuehuai said: "She is pregnant now and is more sleepy."
How could Mrs. Shen not hear that it was a gesture of protection? Because she was pregnant, Mrs. Shen didn't say anything more.
The servant added dishes and chopsticks, and Shen Sangsang sat down next to Shen Yuehuai.
Shen Yuehuai looked at the people around him and asked in a low voice: "Would you like something to eat?"
There was a table full of food, but no one touched it.
Shen Sangsang raised her head and took a look. After just one glance, she shook her head to indicate that she didn't want to eat anything.
Shen Yuehuai naturally let her do as she pleased. Since she said she had nothing to say, he took the serving chopsticks and put some other things on the plate in front of her.
Shen Sangsang looked at the food on the plate.
Shen Yuehuai said softly, "These are fresh bamboo shoots picked from the mountains. Would you like to try some?"
Shen Sangsang thought for a few seconds, pursed her lips slightly, then she picked up the chopsticks on the table and picked up the food on the plate.
When Shen Yuehuai saw her pick up her chopsticks, a faint smile appeared on his face.
Chen Jixing sat there, watching this scene, and he spoke again: "I didn't expect Yue Huai to be different after getting married, so caring and considerate."
When Chen Jixing said this, he thought of something and asked again: "If I remember correctly, my sister-in-law is about the same age as Xiaozhou, right?"
When Shen Yuehuai heard this, the elegant smile on his face never faded. He replied, "Big brother is right. Sangsang is indeed the same age as Xiaozhou. It is also true that I got a bargain. Sangsang was wronged to marry me."
How could Chen Jixing not know why the two of them got married? There was a hint of sarcasm in his words: "Although my sister-in-law is the same age as your nephew Xiaozhou, it was thanks to that incident that they became destined to be together. Yue Huai, I have never seen you commit any crime with women, but I didn't expect that not long after you came back this time, you committed such a crime. Apart from fate, there is really no other explanation."
As soon as Shen Jixing said these words, Madam Shen, who had been sitting there without saying much, changed her expression.
Everyone knew how much she cared about this matter, but when Chen Jixing brought up this matter at the family dinner, her face darkened.
Shen Yuehuai didn't react much to these words, he just smiled twice.
Shen Sangsang just lowered her head and ate the fresh bamboo shoots on the plate.
At this time, Madam Shen said, "Ji Xing, it's a rare trip for you to go home. Stop talking and eat. The food on the table is getting cold."
Chen Jixing pretended not to notice the change in the atmosphere at the table. In response to Madam Shen's words, he spoke with great respect: "I heard that you have been unwell and fell into the water some time ago. You should eat more."
Then, Shen Jixing took the initiative to stand up from his chair and picked up some food for Mrs. Shen, who was sitting at the main seat. “This dish is your favorite. Please eat more.”
Madam Shen's face darkened again, but she maintained her composure and thanked him, "Thank you for thinking of me, Jixing. I am a blessed man."
"You are certainly a blessed person."
Shen Yuehuai spoke again: "Brother, eat, today we will have hometown dishes."
Chen Jixing replied: "Yes, it's rare."
After that, no one spoke anymore and everyone ate quietly.
After the meal, Mrs. Shen said she wanted to go for a walk outside. After Shen Jixing finished his meal, he also left the table.
In the huge restaurant, Shen Sangsang was still sitting at the table. At this time, Shen Yuehuai went upstairs and came downstairs and walked to her side: "Are you full?"
After he said this, his hand gently fell on her shoulder.
Shen Sangsang looked up and saw that it was him, so she replied, “Yeah, I ate some.”
"Then walk around the house to help digest the food?"
It was so early in the morning, and Shen Sangsang really had nothing to do. She nodded to his suggestion and said, "Okay."
Shen Yuehuai's hand fell on her head and rubbed it gently twice, and Shen Sangsang immediately stood up from the dining table.
Afterwards, Shen Yuehuai took care of some work in the study upstairs, while she walked around the Shen family casually.
She was so familiar with the road here that she could even walk on it with her eyes closed.
She was walking casually in the front yard. Just as she stopped by a flower bed to admire the flowers inside, a voice came from behind her: "Sister-in-law."
The words "brother-in-law" made Shen Sangsang pause slightly. After a long time, she turned around and looked at the person behind her.
The moment she looked over, Shen Jixing had already walked to her side.
When Shen Sangsang saw the person coming, he immediately called out, "Uncle Jixing."
When Shen Jixing heard her call him Uncle Jixing, he didn't say anything. After all, she used to call him like that, and she seemed quite respectful to her.
Chen Jixing's gaze lingered on her, and he said, "I heard that you and Xiaozhou have met a few times."
When Shen Sangsang heard what he said, she quickly replied, "Yes, Xiaozhou and I go to the same school, so we've met a few times."
When Shen Jixing heard this, his brows furrowed slightly. Then, he asked, "Are you familiar with Xiao Zhou?"
Shen Sangsang didn't understand why he came to ask her this question today. After thinking for a while, she replied, "Not very familiar."
When Shen Jixing heard her words, his face showed a bit of disappointment.
After hearing this, he didn't say anything, but remained silent.
Seeing him like this, Shen Sangsang thought for a moment and then took the initiative to ask, "Uncle Jixing... who are you?"
"I just want to know who were the people around my son before he died."
Chen Jixing has been abroad for many years, while Chen Zhou is studying in China, so the father and son only contact each other by phone, or they can meet a few times when Chen Zhou occasionally flies abroad during holidays.
He didn't know much about Shen Zhou's social circle and some of his friends.
Even though his son had been dead for more than a year, he still didn't know much about him.
In response to his question, Shen Sangsang remained silent for a while. In fact, Shen Sangsang himself was not very clear about what he was thinking during those few seconds of silence.
A minute or two later, Shen Jixing was about to leave when Shen Sangsang said, "I haven't met any of Xiaozhou's friends, but there's someone named Zhou Shiran, you can go ask him."
"Zhou Shiran?" Chen Jixing asked with certainty.
Shen Sangsang replied: "I heard from others that this person often appears beside Xiaozhou."
