Lin Yuze glanced at Cheng Zijun, "Brother Zijun, actually, I don't think Jiang Ning will necessarily come."
"I'm about to get engaged to Shuyi, do you think she won't come? You're giving her far too much credit!" Cheng Zijun's lips curled into a sneer, his face full of mockery.

The next day.
Chen Yin then personally went to Jidong Company to sign the contract.
After signing the contract, Wang Shengli glanced at his watch. "Academician Chen, I've made a reservation at a restaurant. Would you do me the honor of joining us for a casual meal tonight?"
"Chairman Wang, I appreciate your kind offer, but I have a flight to Beijing at 1:30 this afternoon. When I get back from Beijing, please invite Miss Jiang over, and I'll treat you to another meal together."
Wang Shengli nodded slightly, "Alright, I'll have the driver take you to the airport."
“No need,” Chen Yin waved her hand in refusal. “My driver is downstairs.”
Wang Shengli escorted Chen Yin downstairs.
Chen Yin's car was waiting downstairs.
soon.
She then boarded a plane to Beijing.
At 3:30 p.m., the plane landed at the airport on time.
Chen Yin came to Beijing for a meeting.
But the meeting is scheduled for 9:00 AM tomorrow.
So she set aside her afternoon and specially brought some local specialties from City A to visit her old friend of many years.
soon.
The taxi stopped at the entrance of the Shi family manor.
That's right.
The person Chen Yin was going to visit was Old Mrs. Shi. She and Old Mrs. Shi grew up together and had a deep bond like sisters. Later, they each had their own careers and families, but they still maintained close contact.
The person who came to greet Chen Yin was Shi Nanyue.
"Aunt Chen, why didn't you tell me you were coming to Beijing? I could have arranged for someone to pick you up at the airport."
Chen Yin smiled and said, "I was just afraid of troubling you, so I didn't say anything beforehand."
After speaking, Chen Yin handed the local specialties in her hand to Shi Nanyue, "These are your mother's favorite fermented soybeans and daylily buds. By the way, where is she?"
When her mother was mentioned, Shi Nanyue's face showed more worry. "My mother had a headache a few days ago and it hasn't gotten better. The doctor told her not to be exposed to the wind, so she hasn't been able to come out."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yin looked extremely nervous.
"Feeling unwell? What did the doctor say?"
Shi Nanyue continued, "The doctor said it's a headache caused by neurasthenia, nothing serious, so you don't need to worry."
Chen Yin nodded. "Then let's hurry up and go see your mother."
Speaking of which, her old friend is also a person with a tragic life.
She lost her husband early in life, and in middle age, her son became a vegetable, while her daughter-in-law and only granddaughter disappeared without a trace.
Eager to see her friend, Chen Yin walked quickly, and Shi Nanyue quickened her pace to keep up.
The Shi family manor is very large.
After entering the manor, it took another five minutes by car to reach the courtyard where the old lady lived.
at this time.
Tang An was taking care of the old lady in the bedroom.
Upon seeing Chen Yin approach, Tang An immediately stood up from the bedside and politely greeted her, "Hello, Grandma Chen."
"Long time no see, An'an has become more and more beautiful."
"Thank you for the compliment, Grandma Chen."
Hearing this, Grandma Shi looked at Chen Yin, "Yin, do you think Sheng Bao would have grown up to be as beautiful as An An if she were here? Sheng Bao was a beauty from a young age. When she was just a month old, her eyes were like big grapes, and her nose was high. Everyone praised her for looking like a porcelain doll..."
Upon hearing this, a strange light flickered in Tang An's lowered eyes.
Shi Nanyue, standing to the side, frowned imperceptibly.
Shengbao, Shengbao, all your mother knows is Shengbao. The person taking care of her now is Tang An, not Shengbao!
Chen Yin smiled and nodded, "That's for sure, Sheng Bao is definitely as beautiful as An An."
At this point, Chen Yin continued, "Jingqiu, is your headache bad? Do you want me to go to the hospital with you?"
"It's nothing, just an old ailment," Grandma Shi shook her head.
Shi Nanyue spoke up at the right moment, "Mom, you and Aunt Chen can chat. An'an and I will go out first. Call me if you need anything."
“Okay, go ahead,” said Grandma Shi.
Shi Nanyue led Tang An outside.
After her daughter and granddaughter left, Grandma Shi looked at Chen Yin with red eyes, "Yin, these days I keep dreaming that Hua Chang brings Sheng Bao back. Do you think I'll ever see Sheng Bao again in this lifetime?"
