Chapter 291: So that

Seeing this, Shen Xing walked quickly toward the classroom door. Jiang Ran blinked strangely, only to hear her deskmate say from the side: "Class monitor, doesn't Shi Jingming from Class 3 always come to our class to find you? This is the first time I've seen him call someone else. Are he and Shen Xing very close?"

Jiang Ran curled her lips. She couldn't be bothered to know about things between boys, so she just replied: "Who knows."

At the classroom door, Shen Xing looked at Shi Jingming with confusion: "What's wrong?"

Shi Jingming pulled him to the window on the other side and said with a smile: "There's no evening self-study today because of the comprehensive exam. Accompany me to play billiards after school?"

"Play billiards?"

Shen Xing hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "I don't know how to play billiards."

"If you don't know, you can learn. If you can't learn, you can just watch me play."

Hearing this, Shen Xing's little face wrinkled: "Watch you play billiards? Then I might as well go home and read."

"It's rare to run into a comprehensive exam where school ends early. Why go home so early? Since you came to Longcheng, haven't you been anywhere except school and home?" Shi Jingming asked.

As a result, Shen Xing blurted out: "I've also been to the police station."

Shi Jingming: "..."

"I'll take you out to have some fun. I know you've been in a bad mood lately because of the bicycle matter. Come with me to relax and change your mood."

Looking at Shi Jingming's sincere expression, Shen Xing finally nodded, but didn't forget to emphasize: "Fine, but we can't play too late."

"No problem. Then good luck with your exam, I'm heading back!"

After saying this, Shi Jingming turned and ran. Shen Xing looked at his tall, slender back and smiled helplessly.

Exams had never been a difficult matter for Shen Xing, and this was his first mock comprehensive exam since transferring here. In fact, he had put his heart into performing well.

As for whether he could get first place in the grade, he didn't know himself, but he had confidence in himself.

At this time, Shen Jingjing was tidying up the kitchen at home alone. Shen Ci invited the property management's cleaning team to clean the house every week, so Shen Jingjing really didn't have much to do other than busy herself in the kitchen before and after meals.

Just as she finished tidying up, the phone rang.

It was her younger sister, Shen Yingying.

"Sis, are you up?"

"What time is it already? Xingxing finished breakfast and went to school a long time ago."

The sisters had a video call almost every day. Shen Jingjing just thought this was the same casual chat as usual, but her sister's tone suddenly became serious.

"Sis, I had He Bin's third sister help me inquire about the Fu family. Guess why they are looking for Xingxing?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Jingjing's nerves instantly tightened: "What is it about?"

"Hmph." Shen Yingying snorted coldly: "The area where the Fu family is located is going to be demolished!"

"Demolition?" Shen Jingjing was puzzled: "What does their demolition have to do with Xingxing?"

"Originally it had nothing to do with him, because the demolition policy hadn't come down. But this year after the New Year, the demolition policy came down, and the compensation is calculated by head count! You get a share for every person on your household registration!"

Shen Jingjing was even more surprised: "Calculated by head count? Isn't demolition always calculated by land area? How come there's head count calculation?"

"There is, Sis. Have you forgotten that when our third uncle's family was demolished, it was calculated by head count? The demolition and development policies are different in every place; there are compensations based on area and head count."

"So they are looking for Xingxing just so they can have one more person on the household registration to get an extra share of money? But A-Ci is also a biological granddaughter, and I haven't seen them looking for A-Ci!"

"A-Ci is in Longcheng, where would they find her? Besides, they can't even handle Xingxing, so how would they have the heart to look for A-Ci?" Shen Yingying said with a sneer of disdain: "And in my opinion, even if they let Xingxing move his household registration back to the Fu family's registration, this money wouldn't be given to Xingxing. It would most likely be split evenly among those few people in the Fu family. I was wondering why the whole family was mobilized this time; it turns out it was for money!"

Hearing this, Shen Jingjing didn't know what to say.

She had originally thought it was some big deal, but so that's it?

The Fu family didn't know what they were thinking. They didn't even say it openly. Could it be that they were afraid she would covet this money?

"Sis, one head count can get quite a lot. He Bin's third sister said that area is going to be turned into a development zone, which is an important economic zone for the future 'Beihai'. One person can get about '200' or more."

The demolition compensation in the Shengang area had always been quite high, so Shen Jingjing wasn't surprised by this.

It was just that she was a bit amused. To put it bluntly, if Fu Kang had come to her and discussed it nicely, she might not have refused.

But the other party clearly didn't want to reveal this matter to her. In the end, wasn't it just because they were afraid she would have designs on this money?

That's why they kept trying to approach Xingxing, attempting to persuade him to move his household registration back secretly.

"Sis, anyway, you are already in Longcheng now, so they won't have any other way for a while." Shen Yingying said.

Shen Jingjing sighed: "But aren't you still over there? If they can't find us, they might go and trouble you."

"Let them come. The boiling water I burn every day isn't for scalding duck or goose feathers; I'll scald their feathers first!"

"Won't that affect your business?"

"I'm not afraid of it affecting anything. The neighbors around here all know what kind of person I, Shen Yingying, am. If they dare to come, I'll shout out all the disgusting things their old Fu family has done as stories."

Her younger sister never suffered losses when dealing with outsiders, but Shen Jingjing felt that the other party wouldn't give up so easily.

Originally, it wasn't a very complicated big deal, but the other party made such a big fuss, even causing a scene at her home just to find Xingxing, making her toss and turn in fear and transfer him before his college entrance exam.

This Fu family was as selfish as ever; it was truly speechless.

Just at this moment, the doorbell rang.

Shen Jingjing looked up at the entryway with some surprise. Neither of the two children was at home, so who would come to visit at this time?

Could it be Tang Song?

"Someone is here, I won't talk to you for now."

"Okay, if there's any situation here, I'll tell you again."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Jingjing walked quickly to the entryway. As soon as the door opened, a woman with a sophisticated, gentle, and dignified temperament stood outside.

Shen Jingjing was slightly stunned and asked softly: "May I ask who you are looking for?"

"Hello, are you Mrs. Shen?"

The title "Mrs. Shen" made Shen Jingjing feel awkward, but she knew the other party was looking for her, so she nodded hurriedly: "Yes, I am Shen Jingjing."

"Hello, my name is Deng Xiwen, I'm Lianxing's mother."

Hearing this, Shen Jingjing widened her eyes in surprise, then hurriedly welcomed her with a smile: "You're Lianxing's mother! Hello, please come in!"
