Chapter 282 Many wealthy businessmen in Beicheng were pursuing her.
On the way back, Shen Qingshu called Chi Guo'er and asked her to immediately issue a public relations statement to clarify the rumors circulating online.
Chi Guo'er is extremely efficient and quickly released a statement refuting the rumors.
Back in Yun Gui, Qin Yancheng helped her into the house.
When Bai Jianwen saw that Shen Qingshu was injured, she hurriedly asked what happened.
Shen Qingshu said it was just an accidental sprain.
Bai Jianwen also saw the news online. Before Qin Yancheng left, she refrained from asking any further questions.
After Qin Yancheng left, Bai Jianwen couldn't wait to ask, "I saw the news. I think Han Mingyun is pretty good. He's thirty-five and hasn't had any scandals. I think you could consider him."
"Godmother, he and I are just ordinary business partners."
"It's great to have a business partner! It proves that your values align. I also think he's interested in you. Why don't you try getting to know him?"
"I really don't have the mind for that right now." Shen Qingshu sighed, pursing her lips. "Godmother, I'm tired. I want to go back to my room and rest."
“You always avoid the topic of relationships. If you keep going like this, everyone in Beicheng will think you’re keeping your chastity for Fu Siyan!”
Shen Qingshu: "..."
"Godmother, your attempts to provoke me won't work on me, so please stop trying."
Bai Jianwen glanced at her and said, "You're still young, so if you don't look for someone now, you'll know how difficult it is to be alone when you're old and can't find someone suitable."
Shen Qingshu remained unmoved. "I have money and descendants. I don't think I'll be too lonely and sad when I get old."
"You! Forget it, I can't argue with you!" Bai Jianwen helped her up. "Let's go, I'll help you upstairs, go wash up and go to bed early."
Shen Qingshu smiled, "Thank you, godmother!"
"Now I know who Xiao Anning inherited her slyness from! It's you, isn't it!"
Shen Qingshu smiled and did not refute.
…
Shen Qingshu sprained her ankle and needs to recuperate at home.
For the next week, she will be working from home, and Chi Guo'er will have to make a trip to Yun Gui every day.
On the fourth day, Jin Que arrived.
He brought some homemade hawthorn candy and some topical medicine for sprains and bruises.
After all, they were good friends in the past, and Xiao Anning was also taken care of by Jin Que, so Shen Qingshu couldn't very well turn her away.
When Xiao Anning sees Jin Que here, she will still obediently call him "Uncle Jin," but she no longer rushes into Jin Que's arms with all her heart as before.
Jin Que was well aware of the girl's change in attitude.
But he didn't say anything.
After sitting in Yun Gui for a while, he got up to say goodbye.
Before leaving, Jin Que asked Shen Qingshu, "Is it because of my relationship with Fu Siyan that you don't consider me at all?"
Shen Qingshu was truly helpless. Not wanting Jin Que to still have hope, she said directly, "I don't plan to look for someone else. It's not because of Fu Siyan, but because I think I'm doing quite well now. I have a career and my own children. Love is not a necessity for me now. I'm very satisfied with my current life, and I don't want to change it."
Jin Que gazed at her and murmured, "Because of money and offspring..."
He lowered his eyes, concealing the complex emotions within them. "I understand."
“Jin Que, don’t waste your time on me. You deserve better. Jiang Ruomi is devoted to you. You can try getting to know her.”
Jin Que lifted his eyelids to look at her.
"You want to push me onto Jiang Ruomi?"
"I'm just reminding you."
"I understand." Jin Que smiled faintly. "I'll be going now if there's nothing else."
After Jin Que left, Shen Qingshu went to work in her study.
Xiao Anning and Xiao Nian'an are currently on winter vacation and don't need to go to kindergarten.
The studio was also on holiday, so Shen Qingshu took Ayuan back to Yungui.
A Yuan is already an adult dog, and every day she has to play with the little princess and young master like an old nanny.
Xiao Anning has many tricks up her sleeve. Today she dresses A Yuan up, tomorrow she braids A Yuan's hair. She comes up with all sorts of tricks, which makes A Yuan suffer. She has to stick out her tongue and smile in accompaniment.
But Xiao Anning treats A Yuan like family.
Today, Jin Que brought over some hawthorn candy, and Xiao Anning took one out to share with A Yuan.
A Yuan sniffed it, and Wang Wang barked twice, refusing.
"This is Uncle Jin's secret recipe hawthorn candy for children! It will make your meals taste better!"
A Yuan stared at the bag of hawthorn candy in Xiao Anning's hand and barked "Wang Wang" twice more.
"Hmph, you stinky A-Yuan!" Xiao Anning pouted, "Fine, don't eat then, Xiao Nian and I will eat!"
As Xiao Anning was about to put the hawthorn candy into her mouth, A Yuan suddenly pounced on her.
"Oh!"
Xiao Anning was tackled to the ground, and the hawthorn candy in her hand rolled away.
A-Yuan bit into the hawthorn candy, turned around and walked to the trash can, used her paw to open the lid and threw the hawthorn candy in!
"Ah Yuan~!"
Xiao Nian sat up, rubbed her sore bottom, and angrily yelled at A Yuan, "A Yuan, you're so mean! You don't want to eat, and now you won't let me eat either! You, you're wasting food! I'm going to spank you!"
Xiao Nian'an stopped her sister, "You can't hit her."
"It's wasting the hawthorn candy Uncle Jin made for us!" Xiao Anning said. "Uncle Jin's hawthorn candy is very precious. It takes a long time to make just one small bag by hand!"
No sooner had she finished speaking than A Yuan rushed over again—
"Ouch!"
Xiao Anning was tackled again, and the bag of hawthorn candy in her hand fell to the ground.
Ah Yuan bit into the bag of hawthorn candy, turned around, and ran out the door—
"Ah Yuan~!"
Xiao Anning scrambled to her feet and chased after him angrily, yelling, "You stinky A-Yuan! You bad guy, give me back my hawthorn candy—"
A man and his dog were chasing each other around the yard in circles.
Xiao Nian'an tried to persuade him, but to no avail.
Zhang Yun and his wife, who were making dumplings in the kitchen, ran out upon hearing the noise.
When Aunt Yun saw Xiao Anning's posture, she was both amused and exasperated. "Oh dear, what's wrong with my little darling? Weren't you playing so well with A Yuan? Why are you chasing after a dog?"
Zhang Yun shook his head, just about to go up and try to persuade the young lady, when Shen Qingshu came down from the second floor leaning on her cane.
"What happened?"
As soon as Shen Qingshu arrived at the gate, A Yuan saw her, turned around, and ran towards her.
It placed the hawthorn candy in front of Shen Qingshu, barked twice at her, then sat down in front of her, sticking out its tongue and looking at her expectantly.
