Chapter 277: The whole family can be together again

"Ah Ci, I've stewed the butter chicken soup. Why isn't Xing Xing back yet?"

In the kitchen, Shen Jingjing poked her head out wearing an apron and asked.

Upon hearing this, Shen Ci glanced at the time: "He should be soon. Sometimes they have two evening self-study sessions, sometimes three; the time isn't very certain, but he can definitely get home before ten o'clock, about the same time as when we were in Shengang."

"He doesn't know you arrived in Longcheng today yet. He'll definitely be pleasantly surprised when he comes back and sees you later."

Upon hearing this, Shen Jingjing couldn't help but smile: "It's only been a few days since we last saw each other, what's there to be pleasantly surprised about?"

"That's not the same!" Shen Ci got up, walked to the kitchen door, and leaned against the wall: "You're here, which means our family is reunited in Longcheng; it's meaningful."

Now, whenever she thought about how their family could finally live together again, she felt uncontrollable joy in her heart.

Although the house was big, it could only be called a home if there were family members. From now on, whenever she came back here, it wouldn't be quiet and empty anymore.

Mentioning the reunion, Shen Jingjing thought of Shen Li and couldn't help but look at Shen Ci and ask: "It would be great if Shen Li were here too. She only rested for those few days during the New Year."

"I don't know if she'll suffer while filming in those mountain gullies. Whenever I send her messages, she always says everything is fine, reporting only the good news and not the bad."

Shen Ci could hear the worry in her mother's tone and couldn't help but comfort her: "Don't worry, Mom. Filming in the mountains is bound to be a bit harder, but Shen Li's personality actually isn't afraid of hardship. This script was chosen by her, and she won't regret the decision she made herself."

"And the shooting cycle for this script is especially short; it's estimated that it will end in two or three months at most. After this wrap-up, she will definitely take a break."

Upon hearing this, Shen Jingjing nodded: "Shen Li is also grown up. She looks soft-natured, but she actually has a very firm mind. She knows what she wants to do, and Mom supports her."

Shen Jingjing said this with great confidence because Shen Li's grades had always been very good. If it were other parents, it would be highly unlikely for them to let a child with such excellent grades participate in the art exam, but after Shen Li expressed her thoughts and persistence to her, Shen Jingjing only thought about it for one night and agreed.

Shen Ci stepped forward, gently hugged her mother from behind, and said to her like a little girl: "No matter how much we grow up, in Mom's eyes, we will always be children."

"You always only care about what we want to do and then silently support us. Daughter would also like to ask if you have anything you want to do yourself?"

"Ask me?" Shen Jingjing tilted her head and looked at her daughter with a smile: "Don't you disagree with me continuing to work?"

"I definitely disagree with you going to work." Shen Ci refused righteously and gave a reasonable explanation: "Although you have many years of experience working in star-rated hotels, in the current employment environment, your age, education, and even gender have no advantages, and it's a completely new environment like Longcheng. You definitely won't find any suitable work."

"As for those bitter and tiring jobs, let alone me, Shen Li and Shen Xing won't agree to you doing them either."

Regarding this matter, Shen Ci was very persistent. Her mother could have her own things to do, but working for others was absolutely not allowed.

"Then why do you still ask me?" Shen Jingjing said.

"You can think about what you want to do yourself? I can invest for you. Don't you like opening a small shop or something?"

"A flower shop, a vintage shop, or a coffee shop, a book bar, etc. These have a very good market in Longcheng. If you are interested, you can try it." Shen Ci tried to suggest.

As a result, Shen Jingjing shook her head while listening: "Where would your mother have the ability to open a shop and do business? Forget it."

If she lost money, even if her daughter didn't feel heartache, she would feel heartache. The cost of opening a shop in Longcheng could be imagined not to be a small amount of money.

"Mom has just arrived in Longcheng, let me adapt to this place first. For these few months, I will focus on taking care of you two sisters and brother, especially before Shen Xing's college entrance exam. I will definitely put my heart into him. Let's talk about the rest after Shen Xing's college entrance exam is over!"

Hearing her mother say this, Shen Ci couldn't help but temporarily put away this thought. But she understood her mother's personality; she was still young now, and after a long time, she would definitely not be able to stay idle.

She had to think carefully and plan something for her mother that she could do without being too tired.

At this moment, the sound of opening the door came from the entrance. Mother and daughter looked at each other: "They're back!"

Shen Jingjing greeted them from the kitchen and just saw Shen Xing change his shoes and enter the house. The first thing he saw was his mother. Shen Xing's expression was first surprised, then happy: "Mom!"

Shen Jingjing smiled, rubbed her hands on her apron, and habitually stepped forward to take her son's schoolbag: "The meal is ready, hurry up and wash your hands to eat."

Shen Xing was very excited, pulling his mother and asking: "Why didn't you tell me when you came? I said why the fragrance I smelled when I just entered the house was so familiar. Butter chicken soup, right?"

"Your nose is sharp, you can even smell this!"

Shen Ci walked over and looked at her brother: "I'm starting school tomorrow, how could Mom rest assured with you alone?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Xing hugged his mother tightly, pressed against her face, and acted like a spoiled child: "Mom is still the best, our family can finally be together again!"

At this time, the Li family.

"What?"

Also during dinner time, Li Wanchang's low shout suddenly rang out in the dining room: "Are you sure? Didn't make a mistake?"

The person on the other end of the phone replied seriously: "Chairman Li, how could such a thing be a mistake? I've checked several pieces of information, and all of them finally confirmed that the new owner of the 'Yuanjing Industrial Park', Shen Ci, is indeed Shen Ci, a sophomore at Longcheng University of Technology."

Listening to the other party's words, Li Wanchang felt as if he were listening to a heavenly book for a moment.

Originally, he still held a fluke mentality—it couldn't be said to be a fluke; he had always firmly believed that the same name was a coincidence because, by comparison, he couldn't believe that the Shen Ci who had bought the industrial park at a sky-high price was his son's ex-girlfriend.

It was the ordinary little girl who had once been looked down upon by his own wife.

How could this be?

Mrs. Li on the side didn't know what had happened yet, but seeing Li Wanchang's face was very ugly, she couldn't help but ask with concern: "What's wrong? Did something happen to the company?"

Li Wanchang frowned and looked at her, suddenly asking after a while: "Have you checked Shen Ci's identity?"

Mrs. Li blinked in confusion and said with a laugh: "Why would I check her identity? Besides, isn't the matter between her and Xiao Zai already over? Why do you keep mentioning her?"

Mrs. Li still felt hateful when she thought of Shen Ci now. If it weren't for this Shen Ci, her son wouldn't have gone abroad! ===== CHAPTER 278 =====
