Four and a half hours later, they officially disembarked from the plane.
As soon as I got off the plane, there were already people waiting there.
Seeing Lin Wei's confusion, Shen Jize explained, "We'll be staying here for sixteen hours. I guessed you'd like to go out and explore, so I made arrangements in advance."
"How can you be so kind?"
Shen Jize chuckled, "That's it?"
"Okay." Lin Wei answered firmly, because her answer was not just about this one thing.
The two have been dating for over half a year and have never had a single argument.
Lin Wei didn't know what kind of life Shen Jize had lived before, but her limited understanding told her that Shen Jize must have been accommodating her.
In her daily life, she is also willing to take care of him more.
Mutual understanding and accommodation.
This relationship went much, much more smoothly than she had imagined.
Once in the car, Lin Wei asked curiously, "I've never asked you before, but out of so many cities on the mainland, why did you choose to go to Jiangcheng?"
"Well, if it's inconvenient to say, you don't have to say it."
“There’s nothing I can’t say,” Shen Jize said. “Back when things were tougher on the mainland, many people would smuggle themselves to Hong Kong or overseas. My mother was one of them. She was from Jiangcheng. Back then, when educated youth were sent to the countryside, she was assigned to Dong Province. Dong Province and Hong Kong are separated by a river. Others had the idea, and she had the idea too, so she went to Hong Kong.”
After that came the struggle to survive, and then when she couldn't survive anymore, she was taken in by the old man of the Shen family because of her looks and was raised outside.
But his mother died early, and he grew up with his nanny.
Before she died, his mother's thoughts were always on her grandparents in Jiangcheng.
"You've been back for so long, you must have found them by now."
Shen Jize said, "We found them, but they have passed away. Not long after my mother went to the countryside, her brother, who is also my uncle, died in an accident. He was not married, so he had no children. My grandparents were planning to apply for my mother to come back, since at that time the family could only keep one child, but... at that time my mother had just escaped, and my grandparents were implicated."
Even his mother didn't know about this before she died.
In addition, his mother's unexpected death—
"Ah, then you're not."
She remembered Shen Jize saying that he didn't have a good relationship with his father either.
Lin Wei immediately hugged Shen Jize and patted his back to comfort him, "Don't be sad. If you miss them, you can go and visit their graves. When I miss my dad, I also burn incense for him. Besides, you have family now. I am your family, Yuanyuan, and my aunt are all your family."
Shen Jize's eyes immediately softened. "Lin Wei, you really know how to flirt. My heart is beating so fast."
As soon as Shen Jize spoke, the driver in front stumbled and almost fell over.
"I'm sorry, Second Master, I..."
My legs feel weak.
When had he ever seen Shen Jize like this before?
Fearing that Shen Jize would get angry, Lin Wei quickly reassured him, "It's alright, it's alright, just be careful."
The driver dared not agree to Lin Wei's request, and only cautiously glanced at Shen Jize in the rearview mirror.
After a long pause, Shen Jize finally said, "I'll listen to my sister-in-law," and the driver finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But wait.
"sister in law?"
Is there a problem?
"No, no problem."
-
The driver's car was parked in front of a roast duck restaurant.
Lin Wei glanced at it; the prices were sky-high, yet the place was still packed. If they hadn't booked a private room in advance, they probably wouldn't have been able to get in.
"This is the influence of a brand. We'll open a store and write a sign when we open: '99 years away from being a hundred years old. We welcome customers to supervise and taste our food. Let's work together to persevere.'"
Shen Jize paused in his steps, truly admiring Lin Wei's occasional bursts of inspiration.
It's both reasonable and hilarious.
"Your words are a bit inappropriate for Chinese hamburgers, but you might apply them to the tea restaurant I run in Hong Kong."
"A tea restaurant? You're involved in food too?"
“We do everything, but like you said, real estate is the most profitable and has the least risk.”
Secondly, there's finance, specifically stocks.
However, he will also participate in some businesses that are sure to make money. If one of his businesses fails, he will not be affected, but it will take more energy to do it.
But it's okay, he just met someone who was even more troublesome than him.
That alone made him think the two of them were a perfect match.
-
The roast duck was served very quickly; the chef himself came to the private room to cut it.
Lin Wei took a bite and found it delicious, better than any restaurant she had ever been to before, though it was a little oily.
"It's delicious, you should try it, don't just think about me."
Shen Jize wrapped one after another for her, but didn't eat a single one himself.
"I'll do it."
Lin Wei wrapped it up and placed it near Shen Jize's mouth, saying, "You usually eat light food, so you'll probably find it oily. It's okay, you can have some tea later."
"Okay." After agreeing, Shen Jize asked, "Weiwei, is there anywhere you want to go? We're already here."
"I thought you would just arrange for a break."
"No rush, we can rest in the port city. I've already arranged a hotel."
Lin Wei paused in her chopsticks, then asked softly, "Should I stay in a hotel alone, or should we stay together?"
"Weiwei, I told you not to tease me." Shen Jize looked at her sincerely, "I'm really easily teased."
"I was just teasing you, I was just asking."
“Let’s stay at the hotel together.” After saying that, Shen Jize added, “We’ll stay separately.”
Worried that Lin Wei might misunderstand, Shen Jize explained, "The houses over there were all arranged by the old master of the Shen family. There are servants at home, but they are all people used to monitor me. The hotel is owned by myself, so you can stay there without worry. After you get there, I will arrange for my friends to meet you, and they will also stay at the hotel."
"That's quite convenient." To avoid Shen Jize misunderstanding, Lin Wei still defended herself, "But I really wasn't teasing you."
Shen Jize has a light diet and eats small meals frequently. Lin Wei basically takes care of the whole duck.
Afterwards, he took Lin Wei to eat local famous snacks along the way, and they strolled around and ate until midnight before heading to the airport.
"These snacks are delicious. Will we be passing through Beijing on our way back? I'd like to bring some back for my neighbors and family to try."
"If you want them to try it, I can just have someone buy it."
"How can that be the same? If I go, I can have another meal too."
“You really ate too much. I was afraid you’d throw up.” Shen Jize glanced at her stomach and snatched the food from her hand. “Alright, save these for later. There are plenty of good things to eat in Hong Kong. You won’t go hungry.”
Lin Wei was somewhat reluctant, but after being proud for a while, she gave up when she realized she couldn't get the food back.
