If you look closely, you can see a few beads of sweat on the tip of Shen Jingnian's nose.
Nervous.
after all.
This is just a copy of "A Random Walk Down Wall Street" in disguise.
Just as Madam Shen reached out her hand, about to take the book, she pulled it back. "What are you looking at? I'll just search the title online and I'll know what book it is."
Shen Jingnian secretly breathed a sigh of relief and put the book into the drawer.
Mrs. Shen opened Baidu and entered the words "Wall Street Walk" into the search bar.
soon.
I found the answer.
When Mrs. Shen saw that "A Random Walk Down Wall Street" was indeed a finance book, she said speechlessly, "How could a finance book have such a name!"
That's really strange.
Shen Jingnian continued, "Mom, what brings you here?"
"I want to ask how things are going between you and Ningning?" Old Madam Shen sat down in front of Shen Jingnian, resting her chin on her hands. "Jingnian, I really like Ningning, I really like her. I've already decided that she's my daughter-in-law!"
“Oh.” Shen Jingnian said in a flat tone.
"Oh what? I'm asking you! Are you pursuing Ningning?!"
"Mom," Shen Jingnian said lightly, seemingly not taking the matter to heart at all, "Don't play matchmaker. She and I are just ordinary friends."
"Do you know that you'll end up like a wife-chasing ghost if you keep doing this?!" Old Madam Shen was furious.
Shen Jingnian merely raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "Chasing after his wife?"
"Mom, you're overthinking it."
He would never pursue his wife.
Old Madam Shen, too lazy to pay attention to Chen Jingnian, turned her gaze and suddenly saw a cooking book on her son's bookshelf. "The Complete Guide to Home-Style Recipes? Jingnian, didn't you say your office was your battlefield? Tsk tsk tsk, you've already contradicted yourself so quickly? Tell me, did you learn to cook for Ningning?"
Madam Shen seemed to have discovered some truth, and her eyes lit up.
Shen Jingnian maintained a calm expression. "Which one are you referring to? That's Haotian's."
After saying that, Shen Jingnian picked up a document and slowly looked at it. "Mom, is this the first day you've met me? Why would I learn to cook for a girl?"
That's impossible.
Never!
Madam Shen rolled her eyes at him, turned around and left, taking the fruit platter that had just been brought over with her.
Shen Jingnian was about to eat a slice of watermelon when, unexpectedly, his elderly mother picked up a fruit platter and left. "Mom, didn't you come to bring me fruit?"
Old Madam Shen said angrily, "That old bachelor has no right to eat the fruit I personally brought him!"
Old bachelor!
So what if I'm single!
Why is the word "old" added?
Is he very old?
He's clearly not even 30 yet!
Shen Jingnian was somewhat depressed.
Buzz.
Just then, my phone rang.
Shen Jingnian picked up his phone.
It's a WeChat notification.
Shen Jingnian glanced at the date on his phone. Today was the 25th, and tomorrow would be the 26th.
He had previously arranged to have dinner with Jiang Ning on the 26th.
so.
The WeChat message was probably sent to him by Jiang Ning.
If Jiang Ning sends him a WeChat message now, it's definitely to talk about dinner.
Shen Jingnian immediately opened WeChat.
As expected, the WeChat message came from Jiang Ning. Shen Jingnian's lips curled up slightly, but the smile quickly disappeared when he saw the message.
The WeChat message read:
Sorry, we had planned to take you to a nice hole-in-the-wall restaurant tomorrow, but something came up. My family is going back to Beijing tomorrow, so we probably won't be able to come to City A before the New Year. Let's reschedule.
Going to the capital?
I'm not coming back before the New Year.
Shen Jingnian immediately replied to the message: [Ningning, what happened? Is there anything I can help you with?]
Nothing serious happened, my family just found me, so I'm going back with them.
The news about the Shi and Si families has been making headlines these past few days. Although he hadn't looked into it closely, seeing Jiang Ning's reply made some connections. Shen Jingnian raised an eyebrow slightly: "[Congratulations to the Shi and Si families on their little princess returning home!]"
