Chapter 360: Can you still pick?
After finishing the spa, the few of them went to the revolving restaurant on the top floor. The limited afternoon tea here is extremely difficult to book, limited to eight sets per day. Unless booked long in advance, it's impossible to eat.
Even these wealthy wives of Longcheng are no exception.
But with Shen Jingjing, this was no problem.
The waiter professionally and enthusiastically led the way, bringing the few of them to sit in the position with the best view. The sun was just right today, and through the glass, one could have a panoramic view of Longcheng's city scene.
"Ms. Shen, please wait a moment with your friends, we will present today's afternoon tea set to you immediately."
Shen Jingjing smiled gently: "Okay."
The mood of the several wealthy wives was also extremely good, and they cast joyful gazes at Shen Jingjing one after another.
"It's really lucky to know Jingjing. In the past, we wanted to come here for afternoon tea, but we could never book the limited set."
"Isn't it? Your daughter is really filial, Jingjing. She handed you a black gold card with an unlimited limit directly so you can enjoy it at will, and even we get to share the light."
"Now it's not just Sister Moru who is interested in your daughter, we also want to meet her."
"Is Mrs. Feng wanting to meet her herself, or wanting to meet her for your son first?"
"Oh, since she's the same age as my son, it doesn't matter if they get to know each other and become friends, right Jingjing?"
Shen Jingjing smiled helplessly and nodded, then said: "I don't interfere with my daughter making friends, but if Mrs. Feng wants to match them, now is really not the time. My daughter has a boyfriend."
"Has a boyfriend?" Mrs. Feng was slightly disappointed, but didn't show it too obviously: "Not surprising, such an excellent girl, wouldn't her suitors line up to abroad?"
"But Jingjing, you've been alone for so many years, have you ever thought about finding another one?" Mrs. Wang's mind jumped, and she suddenly asked about Shen Jingjing's affairs.
This question also stunned Shen Jingjing.
Indeed, ever since Fu Jun left her and returned to his hometown, and then passed away not long after, she seemed to have never had any fantasies about a second spring in her personal affairs.
Actually, her own considerations were very pure. She had three children. Who would be willing to be with her?
She'd better not cause trouble for others!
As time went by, she really didn't think about it anymore.
She shook her head lightly: "I haven't thought about it for a long time. I am particularly satisfied with my current life and have nothing to be dissatisfied with."
The several wives looked at each other upon hearing this. Although none of them were divorced and lived a wealthy life that looked stable to outsiders, in fact, the relationship with their husbands was entirely supported by the other party's sense of responsibility.
Love is always a consumable item. Everyone's love is limited like today's afternoon tea, and it's gone once used up.
So for marriage, they didn't have much position to persuade others to step into it.
Only Mrs. Gu on the side was an exception among them. Gu Shangyou had pampered her for decades. She couldn't empathize with the troubles of others in this regard.
She turned to hold Shen Jingjing's hand and said seriously: "You don't have to think about marriage, but you should still think about men when you should! You are both beautiful and gentle. Many northern men like you southern little women, who are delicate like water."
Mrs. Wang agreed upon hearing this: "Mrs. Gu's words are not bad."
Shen Jingjing's pretty face flushed, and she glared at Deng Xiwen: "This, what are you saying..."
"Look, you're blushing?" Deng Xiwen couldn't help but laugh: "Isn't this a very normal thing? Falling in love is so beautiful, and it doesn't mean you have to get married. I tell you, Jingjing, my husband has many men around him who are compatible with you. Divorced, never married, overseas Chinese, Longcheng natives, all kinds. Really, I'll introduce a few to you later, you pick and choose!"
Pick, pick and choose?
Can you still pick?
Perhaps because she was always reserved, Deng Xiwen's words made her blush uncontrollably for a while, but she also resisted from the bottom of her heart: "Really don't need to, you're overthinking."
Her reaction caused the other several wives to cover their mouths and laugh, but it could also be seen that she was really shy.
"Mrs. Gu, don't tease Jingjing. Look at her, she's still as pure as a little girl." Mrs. Feng teased.
Seeing this, Deng Xiwen sighed slowly: "Hey, Jingjing, you are too conservative. You are single, love is free. I estimate A-Ci would definitely agree to you blooming a second spring. After all, you have dedicated half your life to them. Now that the children have finally become successful, shouldn't you hurry up and live for yourself?"
"I understand what you mean."
Shen Jingjing pursed her lips lightly, hesitated, and then said: "I also want to consider more for myself, but I really haven't thought about finding a man to fall in love with. I want to find something to do myself."
Several people looked at her with some confusion upon hearing this.
"Find something to do? What kind of thing?"
"I don't have any concrete ideas yet, but the impulse in my heart has always been there." Shen Jingjing said truthfully.
At this time, the waiter pushed a cart over. On the cart were various exquisite, freshly made desserts, each looking extremely tempting.
Shen Jingjing took the opportunity to change the subject and greeted everyone: "Things are here. You have always said it's delicious and hard to book. I am actually very curious."
"Of course it's delicious, otherwise how could it be so hard to book? Hurry up and taste it!"
"Let's do it together."
For a time, the several people put the topic just now behind them and began to concentrate on tasting the delicious food.
Shen Jingjing had no research on desserts, but for her, good desserts shouldn't be too sweet, and this afternoon tea did achieve a perfect balance in sweetness.
She especially liked the "Green Apple Pie," with appropriate acidity and the clear fragrance of green apples, which was very soothing to the taste buds, making her greedy enough to eat a whole big piece.
Midway, while the others were chatting happily, Shen Jingjing got up and went straight to the restroom.
Who knew she would meet one of the few acquaintances she had in Longcheng in the restroom.
Sister Min!
Sister Min was wearing a work uniform, holding a rag, and wiping the mirror in the restroom. For a restroom in such a business club, every place must be spotless, and it must be cleaned in real-time to keep the restroom clean whenever every guest uses it.
She wiped attentively. Seeing someone enter the restroom, she just stood up and nodded according to the employee requirements: "Hello."
She didn't recognize Shen Jingjing at all, but Shen Jingjing recognized her at a glance.
"Sister Min?"
Shen Jingjing stopped and called out in surprise, her gaze falling on the work badge pinned to her work uniform.
Hearing the sound, Sister Min raised her head. After a moment of confusion and shock in her eyes, it suddenly turned into shock: "Jing, Jingjing?"
