Chapter 25
The man on the other end of the phone said that he had arrived downstairs at Lin Yue's house and he planned to come up and say hello to Lin Yue's parents. Like every parent whose child goes to a friend's house to play, this courtesy should be maintained.
Jiang Rong looked at Lin Yue, who was almost leaning over to her phone, and curled her lips: "But there are only two of us at home."
Shen Jianye raised his eyebrows, Lin Yue glanced at the time, and said quickly beside him: “But it’s time for my parents to come back.”
Originally, the two girls wanted to come down first, but Shen Jianye on the other end of the phone seemed to have met an acquaintance: “Lawyer Lin.”
A middle-aged man's voice came from the other end of the receiver: "Boss Shen, why are you here?"
Shen Jianye hung up the phone, Jiang Rong was still thinking, Lin Yue had already widened his eyes: “No, that voice seems to be my dad’s!”
The two looked at each other, their gossip hearts burning, and without thinking, they packed up their things and locked the door, pretending that they were just coming down to eat together. When they went downstairs, they saw three people from a distance, Shen Jianye and Lin Yue’s parents standing under the big tree.
It looked like the three of them had known each other for a long time. Jiang Rong was a little confused: "Do your parents work together?"
Lin Yue nodded and lowered her voice: "They opened their own firm."
She reached out and took Jiang Rong's hand: "Come on, let's go over and listen."
The two of them approached slowly, only to find that Shen Jianye had a cold expression on his face. Lin Yue's father was smiling and asking something, but when he saw the two little girls coming over, Shen Jianye's face put on a smile: "Xiao Jiang, why did you come down?"
Jiang Rong smiled awkwardly, remembering the excuse she and Lin Yue had agreed on: "Brother, you said you were downstairs, and Auntie said she wanted us to have dinner together."
Shen Jianye refused: “No need, I’ll take the little girl home for dinner first.”
Aunt and uncle did not try to persuade him to stay, but Lin Yue’s father suddenly said, “Okay, that’s Mr. Shen… Manager, don’t forget our conversation just now.”
The smile on Shen Jianye’s face faded again, and he nodded slightly: “Thank you Lin Lu for reminding me.”
The man turned and left. Jiang Rong followed him and asked curiously, "Brother, why does uncle call you that?"
Shen Jianye said casually: "Because I have opened several coffee shops, I am the manager of all of them, so call me the chief manager."
Jiang Rong whispered "Oh", she always felt that it was not like that, just now she heard Lin Yue's father call Mr. Shen on the phone, Lin Yue's eyes widened, with disbelief written on his face, and explained to herself that usually the person who called Mr. Shen was the boss of some company, so Shen Jianye must be no simple person.
Jiang Rong didn’t know that Shen Jianye was not simple, she only knew that he was very good to her.
She lowered her eyes, raised the corners of her mouth, and walked forward behind Shen Jianye.
Lin Yue, who was standing behind them, watched the two people walk away. He quickly turned around and looked at his father and said, "Old Lin, I'm telling you, there must be something wrong with Jiang Rong's family. You can go check it out."
The two of them just talked a lot. Probably because his parents are both lawyers, and Jiang Rong's family situation is special, Lin Yue couldn't help but start asking questions. He always felt that Jiang Rong's family affairs were not simple.
Hearing this, Lao Lin felt somewhat helpless and rubbed his daughter's head: "You don't even need to tell me, I've already been entrusted with it."
Jiang Rong opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat. Suddenly, she felt her phone vibrate in her pocket. She took it out and saw a message from Lin Yue: "If your relationship with Shen Jianye ever deteriorates, please tell me."
The girl rubbed her red ears and replied: [No.]
Although Jiang Rong couldn't explain her feelings towards Shen Jianye, she had never thought about the two of them being together and being boyfriend and girlfriend.
Jiang Rong put down the phone, looked at Shen Jianye with a calm face, and asked with some doubt and concern: “Are you unhappy?”
Shen Jianye was stunned for a moment, and then felt helpless: “You are a little girl, how can you tell whether I am happy or not?”
Even when she was at a loss as to what to do, she still had to find a solution on her own.
Jiang Rong didn't mind being questioned at all, and said seriously, "Of course, but I don't know why, obviously..."
When I called, I sounded in a good mood.
"I think you need someone to talk to right now."
Shen Jianye muttered softly: “No respect for elders or younger.”
But the corners of his mouth curled up silently, but he didn't think there was anything to talk about between him and Jiang Rong, and he didn't intend to tell this little girl about his own affairs.
But while the traffic light was green, he glanced at Jiang Rong, who looked serious, and for some reason he spoke, but he still changed the familiar opening line: "It's not me, it's a friend of mine."
Fortunately, Jiang Rong doesn’t often play online, so she didn’t know this joke. Instead, she listened carefully to Shen Jianye: “My friend has a bad relationship with his family, and his position at home is also very embarrassing. He finally ran away, and now I heard that his family doesn’t intend to let him go.”
Jiang Rong pursed her lips: "So he has a bad relationship with his parents?"
Shen Jianye nodded without hesitation: “Almost. He really wants to stay away from them and sever ties, but because of the grace of raising him since childhood, he will find that he can’t separate at all. Everyone knows that you are father and son, and knows that my friend’s identity is not glorious.”
After Shen Jianye finished speaking, he realized why he had said so much, and was about to bring the topic back, but Jiang Rong said: “I think we can separate, stay away from each other, we can always separate, and don’t have such a big psychological burden.”
“You don’t necessarily need your parents’ love.”
Shen Jianye was a little dazed, and only heard her thinking of a solution without caring: "If it doesn't work, come and live at my house first. I don't believe his parents can find my house."
Shen Jianye smiled. How could he forget that the little white rabbit he took in was never one that knew nothing.
But Jiang Rong was still a little hesitant: "Is my suggestion not good? Let me think about it..."
Amid the roar of the car, Jiang Rong seemed to hear Shen Jianye say, “You have already helped him.”
But when Jiang Rong asked again, Shen Jianye just said: “No need, I think he should figure it out.”
Jiang Rong said “Oh” and didn’t force it, but she didn’t know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that Shen Jianye’s ears seemed to be red.
The car quickly drove to the gate of the community, and it was obvious that the car could not get in, so Shen Jianye unlocked the car: “You go up first, I’ll go park the car.”
Jiang Rong opened her mouth slightly and before she could speak, Shen Jianye nodded slightly: "No, I have to go to the coffee shop later. You pack up your things and we will change to the battery car to eat."
Jiang Rong got out of the car obediently, always feeling that returning home was not what Shen Jianye had originally thought, but thinking that he would probably call a friend, she got out of the car first with her bag.
Shen Jianye, who was sitting in the car, sighed, drove to a nearby rented parking space, and then took out the flowers made of pink colored paper in the box.
Lawyer Lin's words were still spinning in his mind. He said he had to think it over carefully. If he really became the recipient of funding, he would have to pay attention to the distance between the two of them, otherwise it would be a scandal.
Although he also has friends in public relations, he still hopes that Shen Jianye will think it through.
Shen Jianye wished he could smoke, but in the end he just stared at the flower for a while, sighed deeply, and then put it back in the box.
But this time, he didn't put the flower in the deepest part of the box.
The two days of the weekend passed in a flash. This may be because of the saying that happy times are always short. When Jiang Rong returned to the classroom, she always felt that a lot of things happened in the two days of the weekend, and it didn't seem like only forty-eight hours had passed.
Jiang Rong sat down, and soon Lin Yue arrived. She didn't hide her gossipy heart at all, and came over without any hesitation, chirping and asking, "What is your relationship with Shen Jianye now?"
The girl twitched her lips: "Now..."
"Just brother and sister, and bring a little financial support." She pinched her fingers, trying to express that it was just a little bit.
Lin Yue, however, had a joking look on her face. She lowered her voice and said, "You don't know, the other day I went out to eat with my parents, and my dad actually said something on the way. But Mr. Shen hasn't laughed like this for a long time."
"Just like an NPC in a domineering boss novel."
Jiang Rong frowned in confusion: "NPC, what is a domineering president article?"
Lin Yue opened and closed her mouth, and finally only said one sentence: "I'll go back and get my phone to send it to you."
The two of them were excitedly gossiping while the math representative came over. She said calmly, "Hurry up, homework."
But his eyes were always fixed on Jiang Rong. Jiang Rong held her forehead silently. She almost forgot that Li Tong was also the math class representative.
It's not my fault. It's just that my math teacher, Ms. Wang, is a bit biased towards boys. Her preference for some boys is obvious. She even likes to let male students do things that are supposed to be done by the math teacher.
As a result, if Li Tong hadn't come to collect homework, she would have almost forgotten that Li Tong was also a math class representative.
But before, Lin Yue had always taken it together. She probably found out that she had a good relationship with Lin Yue, so she deliberately came here.
Seeing Jiang Rong not paying much attention to her, and even not knowing what she was thinking, Li Tong stamped her feet in anger and couldn't help but say, "Just wait for me."
After she finished speaking, she went to clear the next table. After she left, Lin Yue curled her lips unceremoniously: "Just wait for me. She's not some Grey Wolf."
“That’s hilarious.”
Jiang Rong looked at Lin Yue who was completely devoted to her, her ears reddened as she lowered her head, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.
I originally thought that Li Tong's affairs would most likely be annoying today, but after waiting for a long time, I didn't see Li Tong do anything. Instead, the teachers had been giving exams since early morning for the midterm grades, which made the students dizzy and dizzy.
It was not until the end of the break that the head teacher appeared at the door and called her to the office. When the head teacher took the initiative to mention the money, Jiang Rong remembered that there was a scholarship. She had almost forgotten about the form.
