Chapter 1026: This old thing

Shen Mingming was the most face-conscious person. Dabao's mediocre grades barely got him into a third-rate junior college, so he wouldn't even mention it, and he was afraid of others mentioning Dabao to him; he felt it was shameful.

Now that his daughter had actually gotten into the University of Political Science and Law, Shen Mingming felt a very strange fluctuation in his heart.

Coupled with Director Liu's words, he realized for the first time what it felt like to have his own child praised.

"That's for sure. When the time comes, you and Sister-in-law bring Dongliang and all come," Shen Mingming invited enthusiastically, the smile on his face becoming more genuine.

As for the old lady, trying to throw a tantrum at Shen Ci's house naturally wouldn't work.

Moreover, Shen Ci had laid those words out nakedly in front of the old lady, which really left her with no way to back down.

The benefit of not being close showed at this moment; because the relationship was thin and there was a sense of distance, coupled with Shen Ci's outstanding personal ability, the old lady couldn't treat Shen Ci the way she treated Shen Min.

She could only hold it in.

When the time came, Shen Jingjing directly put the old lady in the car, not forgetting to instruct her before leaving: "Mom, keep what I told you in mind. If the bracelet on your wrist is missing again next time we meet, don't blame me for speaking ugly words first; I won't buy you another one in the future."

The old lady nodded dejectedly. Glancing at the villa gate, seeing that neither Shen Ci nor Shen Min came out, she directly closed the car door.

Seeing this, Shen Xing started the car and took the old lady to the airport.

"Alright, stop crying, it's all in the past."

In the living room, Shen Ci handed a tissue to Shen Min and comforted her softly: "Look, it's no big deal. It's been said, so it's been said."

Shen Min nodded, truly feeling a long sigh of relief: "Sister, thank you. From now on, I can openly go to university."

"We got in openly in the first place, so of course we should go openly."

Shen Jingjing returned just in time to hear this and echoed: "Right, going to university is a good thing, it should be done openly."

Shen Min smiled. Looking at the Eldest Aunt and sister in front of her, she was full of gratitude. She secretly made up her mind that she must repay everyone who truly cared for her and helped her in the future.

In the evening, after Huo Tiancheng had a round of intimacy with Lin Biqi and finished washing up, he began to dress and tidy himself.

Lin Biqi leaned on the bed, watching him put on a neat shirt, with a high-end custom suit placed to the side, and couldn't help but ask: "What are you going to do? Dressing so formally?"

Huo Tiancheng was in a good mood today. Looking at the beautiful beauty behind him through the mirror, he said: "I have an appointment to eat with Chairman Jiang of the 'Jiangdong Group' today, so I won't be accompanying you for dinner."

Lin Biqi was slightly surprised upon hearing this: "Jiang Yuanliang?"

Huo Tiancheng raised an eyebrow and nodded: "Yes, it seems you mainlanders are all very familiar with him."

Lin Biqi rolled off the bed, pressed her naked body against Huo Tiancheng, and whispered coquettishly: "Is it a very private dinner? Can I go?"

Huo Tiancheng looked at Lin Biqi's graceful figure in the mirror, his eyes sharpening by three points: "What are you going for?"

"I'm just curious, I want to see the living Jiang Yuanliang," Lin Biqi said casually: "I can also help you toast and hold up the scene."

A big beauty in her twenties accompanying a sixty or seventy-year-old man to a dinner party—that old man would definitely have face!

She wasn't wrong to think that, but it was a pity that Jiang Yuanliang was different from others.

Huo Tiancheng had already looked into it; Jiang Yuanliang was not close to women, but he loved his wife like his life.

Taking Lin Biqi with him would likely be counterproductive.

Gently pushing away Lin Biqi, who was rarely proactive, Huo Tiancheng said indifferently: "Go back and lie down, don't catch a cold. I can't take you today; stay home obediently."

Upon hearing this, Lin Biqi pouted unhappily.

But she didn't force it. She hadn't intended to do anything anyway; she was purely, as she said, wanting to see Jiang Yuanliang, this great figure of China, Shen Ci's current father.

Huo Tiancheng didn't pay much attention to Lin Biqi's emotions and went out after tidying himself up.

Lin Biqi lay on the bed, feeling the soreness left in her body after the intense exercise, and a strange feeling rose in her heart.

She quickly got up and walked to the trash can to rummage, and sure enough, she found the packaging box for the little blue pill.

"Damn, this old thing!"

Angrily throwing the box back into the trash can, she felt something wasn't right.

At his age, to still have such a state, it turned out he was really relying on this kind of thing.

Every time, he wore her out completely.

It was truly disgusting!

"Shuiyun Jian."

The place was chosen by Huo Tiancheng. He had also put in the effort, learning that Jiang Yuanliang usually had business dinners here, so he specifically chose this place.

As a result, when he arrived, he happened to run into Shen Ci talking to Zhu Li in the lobby.

"Miss Shen Ci, what a coincidence!"

Huo Tiancheng recognized Shen Ci and his eyes lit up. He took the initiative to step forward and greet her: "Are you here to eat too?"

"Mr. Huo?"

Shen Ci was also surprised and quickly responded with a smile: "I'm not here to eat; I'm here to handle some matters. This place is mine."

She said it casually, but it startled Huo Tiancheng.

Seeing him look around in wonder at this private business club known as the most luxurious in China, he said in shock: "Miss Shen, this is your property?"

Shen Ci nodded slightly. Not long ago, this place had indeed become hers alone.

"Oh my, that's so impressive!" Huo Tiancheng said excitedly: "I just said, there must be a reason why Mr. Jiang likes to come here. I also have to thank Miss Shen for helping to pass the message, allowing me to successfully make an appointment with Mr. Jiang!"

His Xiangjiang-accented Mandarin was a bit stiff, but it carried a sense of humor. Shen Ci couldn't help but laugh: "Mr. Huo is too polite. You can speak Xiangjiang dialect with me."

Huo Tiancheng also laughed: "When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Although my Mandarin isn't standard, as long as I speak more, I will improve, right?"

Shen Ci nodded with a smile: "You have an appointment to eat with my father, right? Which private room? I'll send you up!"

"No need, no need, I can go up myself," Huo Tiancheng said: "If I had known this was Miss Shen's property, I should have asked Miss Shen for help again."

"Mr. Huo, don't be polite with me. If there is anything you need help with, just speak up."

Huo Tiancheng waved his hand and said jokingly: "It's too late, I've already paid the money! Miss Shen's place here is membership-based. I wanted to treat Mr. Jiang to a meal here, so I had to apply for a membership and top up one hundred!"

So that was the matter.

"Mr. Huo, why go to the trouble of spending money? You coming to my place to eat with my father is the same as coming to your own home. I should let my father play the host and treat you; there is no need to spend money at all."

After speaking, Shen Ci looked directly at Zhu Li on the side and instructed: "Sister Zhu Li, handle a refund for Mr. Huo in a moment. Mr. Huo rarely comes to the mainland, so there is no chance to spend that much money." ===== CHAPTER 1027 =====
