Of course, most of the food that Li Qingyi cooked ended up in Shen Qingshan's stomach; Wen Yixing and Wen Jingyao were only lucky enough to taste it a few times.
Shen Jingshao turned to look at his parents and said, "Then we're leaving."
Drive slowly and be careful.
"good."
Just as Shen Jingshao was about to turn around and get into the car, a middle-aged woman's voice came from not far away: "What a coincidence, cousin and cousin-in-law, are you going out?"
Everyone present looked up.
Looking at the woman in the black dress not far away, Wen Yixing recognized her as Shen Jingshao's cousin.
That is, the wife of the Lu family.
Their family used to be quite close to the Fang family. Madam Lu also came to Yao Yao's 100-day celebration, and she even held Wen Jingyao then.
Standing next to Madam Lu was a young woman who looked like she had just started university.
Wen Yixing also remembered this girl; she was Madam Lu's youngest daughter.
When they met, the youngest daughter of the Lu family was only ten years old, a particularly cute little girl.
Li Qingyi didn't really like this cousin, but out of respect for Shen Qingshan, she put on a good show, though the smile in her eyes faded a bit. "We're not going out, we're just seeing A-Shao off."
Mrs. Lu took a few steps forward and noticed that there were people in the car.
She figured it was probably Shen Jingshao's fiancée who hadn't yet married into the family, so she wanted to meet her even more.
Because Wen Yixing's information has been well protected by Shen Jingshao and Li Qingyi, no one knows the name of Shen Jingshao's fiancée, which has led to increasingly outrageous gossip circulating in the industry.
Now is a good opportunity. Madam Lu also wants to see which family's daughter is so well-known that Shen Jingshao is keeping it a secret.
Madam Lu showed no intention of leaving, and Wen Yixing knew that it would be impolite for her to stay in the car any longer, so she got out.
Shen Jingshao happened to be standing at the car door. When he saw her about to get off, he instinctively reached out and took her hand.
Madam Lu finally saw the face of Shen Jingshao's fiancée clearly. She smiled and walked over, saying, "This must be A-Shao's fiancée!"
Li Qingyi gave a forced smile, "Yes."
Wen Yixing looked at Madam Lu, and Shen Jingshao happened to be standing next to her and introduced her as "my cousin."
Wen Yixing then called out, "Auntie."
Just as Madam Lu was about to praise Wen Yixing, but before she could utter a word, Wen Yixing recognized her. Her eyes widened slightly: "You..."
Before she could finish speaking, Madam Lu suddenly stammered.
Realizing that what she was about to say might offend someone, Madam Lu quickly swallowed her words and smiled, "Ah Shao's fiancée is indeed very beautiful."
Wen Yixing didn't want Shen Jingshao to go public with the news before because she was afraid it would attract too much gossip to him.
Now that so many years have passed, even if they were together, out of respect for the Shen family, no one would say anything openly, since who would want to offend the Shen family?
After a few brief pleasantries, Madam Lu could tell that Li Qingyi was not welcoming, so she made an excuse and left.
A black luxury car passed by, and Madam Lu's youngest daughter, standing beside her, asked curiously, "Mom, I remember, isn't she Fang's sister-in-law?"
Madam Lu lowered her voice: "They divorced a long time ago. I just didn't expect it. No wonder the relationship between the Fang family and the Shen family has been so bad these past few years. I once heard your second cousin say that Shen Jingshao and Fang Shiyan had a good relationship, but I don't know why they broke up later."
"Back then, your Aunt Li wanted me to think of a way to ease the tension with the Shen family, but now it seems there's no chance of easing the tension at all."
With that said, Madam Lu had probably figured out the timeline.
She guessed that Wen Yixing got together with Shen Jingshao not long after divorcing Fang Shiyan, which later led to the breakdown of the relationship between the Shen family and the Fang family, but Li Qingyun did not know about this at the beginning.
"No wonder that Fang family lad has been so hung up on his ex-wife since the divorce. I used to think that if he couldn't forget her, why didn't he go after her? Turns out he can't win her over," Madam Lu sighed.
“Sister Yixing is now a PhD and has started her own company. I’ve seen interviews with her online,” Mrs. Lu’s youngest daughter said softly.
"Yes, your former daughter-in-law has become so formidable, your Aunt Li must be regretting it to death."
......
"That lady from the Lu family probably can't control her mouth."
The air conditioning was on in the car. Wen Yixing sat with Shen Jingshao and made good use of her time, reading documents in the car.
Shen Jingshao peeled melon seeds for her.
Hearing Shen Jingshao's words, Wen Yixing looked up at him and said, "It's alright, I'm not afraid of what she might say."
Shen Jingshao: "I'm just worried that someone will try to curry favor with you and bother you."
Shen Jingshao didn't want to expose Wen Yixing before because he didn't want to disturb her.
Xingchen Group has many partners, and many of these partners will seek out people associated with it in hopes of leveraging their connections to facilitate cooperation.
Li Qingyi has had nothing much to do these past few years. Sometimes when people try to build connections with her, she just gives them a perfunctory response.
But Wen Yixing is different; her career is still developing, and she simply doesn't have time to deal with it.
Wen Yixing put down the documents in her hand and laughed, "It's not that easy to climb up to me. I'm not the same person I used to be. I'll make sure they can't even get into my company."
Shen Jingshao laughed: "That's right. If you don't want to see the people who come to bother you, then don't. Don't be afraid of offending people. I'll cover for you if anything happens."
