The dignified head of the Shen family, the number one figure in the financial world, was actually squatting alone in the bathroom washing bed sheets!
If outsiders saw this scene, who would believe it?
fortunately.
Although there was no washing machine or laundry detergent in the room, there was a dryer.
otherwise.
It's actually quite difficult to handle.
After washing the sheets.
After taking a cold shower for half an hour, Shen Jingnian finally felt some relief from the intense heat throughout her body.
at the same time.
First floor.
Madam Shen was already sitting at the dining table eating breakfast.
She looked at the clock on the wall and said, somewhat puzzled, "I remember Jingnian came back last night?"
The butler stepped forward and said respectfully, "Madam, if you remember correctly, Ninth Master has returned."
"Where is he?" Old Madam Shen continued, "He would usually be downstairs having breakfast by now."
But this morning, Shen Jingnian was nowhere to be found in the living room.
This puzzled Madam Shen greatly.
She knows her son.
Shen Jingnian is a strict person who is strict with himself and others.
Never late or leave early.
No matter how tired I am, I will get up before 8:30 in the morning.
But now.
It's almost nine o'clock.
The butler smiled and said, "Aunt Zhang just said that Ninth Master wants to sleep a little longer today."
Sleep a little longer?
Madam Shen frowned slightly. "That child was sick not long ago. Could it be that he's feeling unwell again?"
Thinking of this, Madam Shen became a little nervous, put down her chopsticks, and said, "I'd better go upstairs and take a look."
The housekeeper followed in Madam Shen's footsteps.
The two walked to the elevator.
The elevator doors opened.
Shen Jingnian walked out from inside.
Madam Shen grasped Shen Jingnian's hand tightly. "Jingnian, are you alright? Is anything bothering you?"
Shen Jingnian looked no different than usual at this moment.
Aloof and dignified.
No one who saw him could associate him with someone who gets up early to wash bed sheets.
"It's nothing," Shen Jingnian said curiously, "Why would you suddenly ask that?"
Madam Shen continued, "If there's nothing wrong, why did you get up so late?"
It would have been better if Madam Shen hadn't asked that question.
As soon as she asked this question, Shen Jingnian remembered the dream he had last night. He quickly suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his mind and looked at his mother. "It's nothing. I've just been a little tired lately, so I slept a little longer."
"Are you alright?" Old Madam Shen looked up at her son. "If you're alright, why is your face so red? Do you have a fever?"
As she spoke, Madam Shen tiptoed to touch Chen Jingnian's forehead.
However, Shen Jingnian was 192cm tall, while Old Madam Shen was only 162cm tall. The difference between the two was not small. Old Madam Shen, who could not reach her son's forehead, angrily slapped her son's shoulder and said, "You brat, why did you have to grow so tall?"
Moreover, growing taller doesn't equate to growing emotional intelligence.
I wonder when I'll be able to bring my daughter-in-law back.
Shen Jingnian bowed her head obediently, "Mom, I'm really fine, I'm just a little hot."
After confirming that her son was alright, Madam Shen breathed a sigh of relief and turned to the housekeeper, asking him to turn the air conditioner temperature down a bit.
While eating breakfast, Shen Jingnian said, "Mom, I'm flying to the US at 10 pm tonight and will be home the night after tomorrow."
“Okay,” Madam Shen nodded. “Take care on your journey, and remember to send me a WeChat message when you arrive in the United States.”
"OK."
"Do you have time during the day?" Old Madam Shen asked, as if she had suddenly thought of something.
"What's wrong, Mom?" Shen Jingnian asked, looking at Old Madam Shen.
Madam Shen picked up a gift box. "I prepared a small gift for Ningning when she came to visit last time, but I forgot to give it to her. Could you give it to her for me? Also, I noticed last time that she really liked pink pineapple and white strawberries. Could you bring some over for her?"
Upon hearing Jiang Ning's name, inappropriate images for children involuntarily surfaced in Shen Jingnian's mind.
"Mom, I might not have time during the day."
"You have to make time, even if you don't have time!" Old Madam Shen put down her chopsticks. "Don't force me to use idioms to scold you again."
Shen Jingnian: "..."
After finishing their meal, Shen Jingnian had just stepped out when Xu Ruoying walked towards him.
“Brother Shen.”
Shen Jingnian frowned slightly, then walked right past Xu Ruoying as if he hadn't seen her at all.
Although Shen Jingnian ignored her, Xu Ruoying was not discouraged at all and continued to catch up with him. "Brother Shen, where are you going? My car broke down today. Could you give me a ride?"
"No!" Shen Jingnian stopped impatiently and said in a cold tone, "Xu Ruoying, people should know their place. I've already made some things very clear. Please stay away from me."
Xu Ruoying's eyes reddened for a moment. She had been pursuing Shen Jingnian for so many years, but Shen Jingnian's heart was still as cold as a stone.
Isn't it said that it's easy for a woman to pursue a man?
Why doesn't it work for her?
but!
She can't back down now.
Shen Jingnian doesn't accept her simply because he hasn't figured things out yet.
He wasn't just cold and aloof towards her.
Shen Jingnian treats all girls with the same attitude.
After years of hard work, he finally understood.
