Chapter 1020: Can't let her see

~7 min read 1,373 words

"Five concubines?"

As a result, Shen Jingjing's sentence shocked the old lady, who had traditional concepts, quite a bit: "Is a concubine a wife? He has five wives?"

The old lady's reaction made Shen Jingjing laugh. She replied: "Yes, Xiangjiang used to be able to marry several wives, but it's not allowed now, so his youngest wife isn't young either."

"Oh my." The old lady shook her head, her worldview completely unable to keep up with the news she heard: "How can anyone marry so many wives at once? He isn't an emperor. That won't do, that won't do."

Jiang Yuanliang also smiled and put the business card aside.

Seeing this, Shen Ci couldn't help but ask: "Dad, are you going to see him? I heard from Manager Wang Can that he is eyeing the piece of land "Jiangdong" has in the Middle East."

Jiang Yuanliang raised an eyebrow, looking clear: "I know, he has been eyeing it for a long time. Unless I nod, he has no other way."

"But he can find you to convey the message, he also has some thoughts." Jiang Yuanliang looked at his daughter and smiled, saying: "I will meet him. This is Longcheng. Regardless of whether the matter succeeds or not, since the other party has come and wants to see me, I should take the time to meet him."

After all, in this industry, Huo Tiancheng and the old man are of the same generation, and he is considered a junior.

Shen Ci nodded in understanding. Her guess in her heart was also that her father would meet Huo Tiancheng.

After the meal, the old lady began to pack her things.

This time she came to Longcheng, she stayed for a long time. Although she lived in a villa, the old lady had long wanted to go home.

Shen Jingjing wanted to help, but the old lady stopped her: "Oh my, don't move, you sit down, I'll pack it myself."

Looking at the old lady's thin figure folding clothes one by one and putting them into the suitcase, Shen Jingjing was inevitably touched.

During this period, she felt for the first time the feeling of being taken care of by her mother personally and carefully. That was a feeling that couldn't be described, very strange, but it made her obsessed.

Perhaps she seemed to have cut off from her original family for decades on the surface, but deep down she still longed for maternal love.

"Mom, this is from Yuanliang for you."

Shen Jingjing took out a bank card and placed it on the table: "The password is your birthday. Yuanliang said he wouldn't buy you things, it's troublesome to carry, money is more practical."

"Whatever you want to eat or wear, don't be reluctant, just buy it."

After speaking, she took out a pair of gold bracelets from her pocket: "This is bought by Aci for you. You love gold, so she bought you a pair."

Speaking of this, Shen Jingjing couldn't help but look at the old lady's bare wrists and sighed helplessly: "Last time I went home, I bought you a set, but you sold it to pay back Chengcheng's debt."

"I turned around and bought it for you again, but I didn't see you wearing it this time. You subsidized Chengcheng again, right?"

The old lady touched her wrist and pulled the corners of her mouth in embarrassment: "Oh my, his debt wasn't paid off... Besides, he..."

"Don't say it anymore." Shen Jingjing interrupted her mother and instructed: "This is bought by Aci, you can't sell it, you hear me? Chengcheng will be able to work at the cemetery next year. He must learn to be self-reliant. He is forty, how can you spoil him like this? That will harm him in the future!"

"Mom knows, Mom won't sell it."

The old lady nodded hurriedly, couldn't wait to take the bracelet and put it on her hand, saying while putting it on: "So heavy, how many grams is this? Gold prices are so expensive now, Aci is really willing."

Shen Jingjing heard this and felt a bit moved.

Because she knew that her daughter and the old lady didn't have much affection, but she was willing to spend money to make the old lady happy, which was ultimately for her, the mother.

"Looks good, really bright." The old lady wore the bracelet and shook it in front of her daughter.

Shen Jingjing nodded: "Looks good, don't sell it again. And this card, keep it well yourself. Not transferring money to you is to prevent Chengcheng from finding out, otherwise you won't be able to keep a cent."

The old lady grasped it like a treasure, muttering: "Can't let him find out, I'm saving this for Taotao."

Favoritism will not disappear, but it will shift.

Fortunately, Taotao was well-educated by Zheng Hong and didn't inherit Shen Chengcheng's bad roots.

So hearing the old lady say this, Shen Jingjing didn't have any opinion.

"Jingjing, Taotao is studying in Longcheng alone, you are the aunt, you have to take care of him more. And Aci, let her take care of her younger brother more, if there's nothing to do, bring him home and cook him something delicious."

Shen Jingjing thought, the biological mother takes care of him better than anyone, but on the surface, she still dealt with it: "Don't worry, Yingying and I always call him to eat at home, and Aci also often goes to school to see him."

"Eh, alright." The old lady nodded, looked left and right, checking if she had left anything behind.

"The flight is tomorrow evening, no need to rush. Aci has classes tomorrow afternoon, I'll let Xingxing send you to the airport. I also sent the flight information to Eldest Brother. When you arrive, just follow the crowd out, and you will see Eldest Brother."

The old lady nodded again. She had to have someone to send her and someone to pick her up, otherwise, she would be dizzy when she arrived at the airport.

Shen Jingjing stood up and instructed the old lady to sleep early. Walking to the door, she remembered: "This time it's first class, Aci bought it."

"What is first class?" The old lady asked subconsciously.

"It's..." Shen Jingjing opened her mouth, not knowing how to explain for a moment, and then simply said: "It's very expensive."

The old lady didn't understand, watched her daughter support her belly and go out, turned around and closed the door.

The next day, Shen Ci returned to school, and it happened that Xingxing had no classes and stayed at home.

The old lady was leaving in the afternoon, so Shen Jingjing told the nanny to cook more dishes at noon.

As a result, the dishes were all cooked, but the old lady's shadow was nowhere to be seen.

"Sister Wang, what time did my mom go out?" Shen Jingjing looked at the nanny and asked.

"After ten o'clock this morning, said she was going out for a walk, didn't say where."

Shen Jingjing heard this, her heart was a bit anxious, and she hurriedly dialed the old lady's voice call.

Fortunately, after two rings, the old lady answered: "Jingjing."

Hearing the old lady's voice, Shen Jingjing's heart that was lifted instantly relaxed, and she hurriedly softened her tone and asked: "Mom, where are you? Come back quickly, the food is all cooked."

As a result, the old lady said: "Ah, I won't go back to eat, you guys eat. I'm leaving, come to see Taotao."

"Ah?" Shen Jingjing was shocked: "See Taotao? Where did you go? Can you find him?"

The old lady said easily: "I can find him, I remembered his university, "University of Political Science and Law," right? I'm at the school gate, don't worry, you guys eat."

Without waiting for Shen Jingjing to respond, the old lady had already hung up the phone.

Shen Jingjing hurriedly looked at Xingxing and urged: "Xingxing, hurry up and go to the "University of Political Science and Law" to pick up your grandma. Sister Xiao Min is also at school, can't let your grandma see her!"
