In Shi Nanxing's life plan, Jiang Ning should find a boyfriend at 25, date for a few years, and then discuss marriage when she is around 30.
But now!
Jiang Ning is only 20 years old.
Grandma Shi sighed, "Even if you're dating young, you can't choose a stingy guy! I wonder how long Sheng Bao has been dating him."
Si Huashang was taken aback. "Is Shen Jingnian very stingy?"
Grandma Shi nodded. "He's very stingy. Because he's stingy and unwilling to spend money, he's never been in a relationship. I guess he's been spending our Shengbao's money all this time."
Upon hearing this, Si Huashang and Shi Nanxing's already unpleasant mood worsened.
"How could our Shengbao fall for someone like that?" Shi Nanxing asked, puzzled.
Grandma Shi narrowed her eyes. "I think Shengbao and I are the same; we both like good-looking people. She must be captivated by Shen Jingnian's looks! Back then, I fell in love with your father's face, but he wasn't stingy at all!"
Although Shen Jingnian is a bit stingy, his looks are still on point.
Moreover, she has that rare combination of good looks.
This is undeniable.
When Jiang Ning returned from walking the dog, she saw her parents and grandmother having a meeting, and they all looked very serious.
Jiang Ning loosened the leash on Chu Yi's leash and asked curiously, "Grandma, Mom and Dad, what are you talking about?"
"Shengbao is back." Shi Nanxing forced a smile.
"What happened?" Jiang Ning continued, "Dad, your smile looks so forced."
Do you have one?
Jiang Ning nodded slightly, "Very good."
Grandma Shi licked her lips and tried to be tactful when she asked, "Shengbao, what do you think about the trending topics on Weibo?"
"Trending topics? What's trending?" Jiang Ning hadn't even had a chance to check Weibo yet.
As she spoke, Jiang Ning opened Weibo.
When Jiang Ning saw the trending topic on Weibo, her brain completely shut down.
Oh my god!
how so?
Her secret relationship with Shen Jingnian was exposed so easily?
Before Jiang Ning could speak, Shi Nanxing laughed and said, "Hehe, Shengbao, this trending topic must be fake, right?"
“Dad, it’s true,” Jiang Ning said, no longer hiding anything now that it was out in the open. “I did date Shen Jingnian.”
Shi Nanxing: "......." No, not at all.
Si Huashang: "......" No, hehe, add one.
Grandma Shi: "......" No, hehe, add two.
After a moment, Grandma Shi composed herself. "No, Shengbao, how could you possibly fall for him? Shengbao, Grandma isn't saying you have bad taste, Grandma just finds it a bit strange. What's so good about Shen Jingnian? Why did you choose him?"
“He’s good-looking and has a good moral compass,” Jiang Ning said in a low voice, “and…Grandma, he has abs.”
He has abs!
The old lady's eyes lit up.
It's not hard to find handsome people.
But people who are tall, handsome, and have abs are really hard to find...
Shi Nanxing then asked, "Shengbao, are you serious about him?"
“I’m serious.” Jiang Ning nodded slightly.
Snap...
Shi Nanxing seemed to hear the sound of a heart breaking.
Shi Nanxing tried to calm himself down. "Shengbao, you're an adult now. Dad won't stop you from dating, but you have to promise Dad that you won't get married before you're 25!"
“Yes, I won’t get married,” Jiang Ning said with a smile. “Dad, don’t worry, I will always be by your side, Mom’s, and Grandma’s side.”
Now, Shi Nanxing could finally breathe smoothly.
As long as the daughter hasn't become so obsessed with marrying Shen Jingnian, there's still a chance to salvage the situation.
Grandma Shi and Si Huashang both breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Ning went back upstairs and made a video call to Shen Jingnian.
"Ningning."
Shen Jingnian is lifting weights at the gym.
Jiang Ning continued, "Have you seen the trending topics on Weibo?"
"No, what's wrong?"
Jiang Ning didn't know how to explain, "Just go check the trending topics and you'll see."
"good."
Shen Jingnian moved to the Weibo page.
Upon seeing the trending topic, Shen Jingnian couldn't help but exclaim, "Which media outlet is this?! They've really gone too far..."
Suddenly remembering that he was still video chatting with Jiang Ning, Shen Jingnian swallowed the words "Well done!" and instead said in a mocking tone, "That was really too much! How could you secretly film us!"
At this point, Shen Jingnian continued, "Boss, how about I take care of this newspaper?"
"Forget it, forget it," Jiang Ning waved his hand. "If you do this, you'll ruin so many people's jobs and make so many people unemployed. The current economic climate is already bad enough, so let it be exposed!"
"My girlfriend is truly beautiful inside and out," Shen Jingnian exclaimed.
This exclamation inadvertently revealed his smug little face.
Jiang Ning narrowed her eyes. "You really didn't do this?"
"Really not!" Upon hearing this, Shen Jingnian was so frightened that he quickly held up three fingers. "Boss, although I also hope you can give me a title, this matter really has nothing to do with me. You can investigate! If you find that this matter has nothing to do with me, I will let you deal with me as you see fit, without any complaints!"
Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Alright, I'll trust you this once."
Shen Jingnian asked cautiously, "By the way, boss, do your family members, your uncle and aunt, and your grandmother all know about you and me?"
"Mm." Jiang Ning nodded slightly.
Shen Jingnian immediately asked, "What was their impression of me?"
“Speaking of this,” Jiang Ning stroked her chin, “it’s so-so.”
So-so...
Upon hearing this, Shen Jingnian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, it's just so-so!
If it's very bad, then it'll be difficult to handle.
This way.
Grandma Song quickly found out that Grandma Shen was going shopping in the afternoon.
Grandma Shen came to the mall to prepare a gift for Jiang Ning.
From afar, Grandma Song spotted Grandma Shen walking side by side with Shen Jingshu.
Behind them were three or four bodyguards carrying bags.
Grandma Song composed herself and immediately went to greet her, "Grandma Shen, Miss Shen."
Shen Jingshu glanced at Old Madam Song, "Who are you?"
Old Mrs. Song spoke with a fawning expression, "Miss Shen, Old Mrs. Shen. I am Song Junying's mother from the Song Group. I've come to see you both today to talk about the eldest daughter of the Shi family. You two don't know this, do you? The eldest daughter of the Shi family is no pushover. She's a divorced woman!"
