Chapter 379

Jiang Lingchuan: "..."

"I'm joking." Shen Ci hurriedly said: "You just have too much on your mind. Actually, it's not as complicated as you think."

Shen Ci opened her mouth, but in the end, she swallowed her words.

She felt that saying more now was useless. Jiang Lingchuan wasn't a fool; he must understand some truths in his heart, he just couldn't accept Lianxing's sudden alienation.

"You go back and calm down first. With me here, you don't have to worry about Lianxing not being taken care of."

Seeing Jiang Lingchuan didn't react, Shen Ci couldn't help but frown: "This is a female dormitory. You standing here for hours is inappropriate. Hurry back."

Only then did some expression appear on Jiang Lingchuan's face: "Goodbye, Classmate Shen Ci."

He walked forward alone along the road, his back figure revealing loneliness.

At this time, Gu Lianxing stood on the balcony watching him walk away, feeling uncomfortable in her heart, until the dormitory door was pushed open, startling her into turning around.

"You're back?"

Shen Ci pursed her lips: "Just comforted a broken handsome guy downstairs."

"Oh." Gu Lianxing walked to the chair and sat down, picking at her fingers and asking: "What did you say to him?"

"What could I say?" Shen Ci asked back.

Gu Lianxing was speechless, clearly feeling bad in her heart too.

Shen Ci was speechless, but she understood the truth that a forced melon isn't sweet. She felt Jiang Lingchuan was quite good, but since Lianxing had no feelings, she would absolutely not make any blind suggestions.

In matters of the heart, the most taboo thing is to play matchmaker blindly.

Just then, her mother sent her a message.

"A-Ci, are you free tonight?"

Shen Ci was slightly stunned. Usually, the messages her mother sent were asking if she was coming home tonight; this was the first time she asked if she was free.

Asking like this clearly meant there was something she needed her for.

"I'm free, what's wrong, Mom?"

"A friend invited me to be a guest today. I mentioned you to her last time, and she's particularly interested in you and really wants to get to know you. Will you accompany Mom?"

Before Shen Ci could reply, Shen Jingjing shared a page with her.

After she clicked on it, an online encyclopedia of a person popped up.

Chen Moru, Chairwoman of the Heijin Group...

The page covered Chen Moru's personal information and a detailed introduction to the group under her name. She was a very famous and influential female entrepreneur.

Looking at it, Shen Ci was slightly surprised. Her mother hadn't been in Longcheng for long, and she already knew such an impressive person?

It must be that Auntie Deng played a key role in the middle.

Her mother's message followed: "She really wants to see you. Do you want to go?"

"No problem, I'll accompany you."

Shen Ci had no reason to refuse. Since the other party took the initiative, and it was her mother's new friend, and the other party was an elder with a very high social status, she should give the other party this face.

In the evening, Shen Ci went home first.

Shen Jingjing had already done her own makeup and was dressed up as carefully as last time, but it was also the first time Shen Ci saw such a graceful and luxurious side of her mother.

She couldn't help but exclaim: "Mom, you're too beautiful!"

Xia Weiwei different from last time, Shen Jingjing wore a green qipao today that perfectly accentuated her figure, paired with jade jewelry. She was a living Oriental beauty who had walked out of a painting.

Shen Ci naturally knew her mother was a beauty, but the saying "clothes make the man" was really true. After dressing up, she was truly stunning.

Seeing her daughter's reaction, Shen Jingjing couldn't help but smile shyly: "I just matched it casually, is it okay?"

"More than just okay. Mom, that A-Li and I were born beautiful is all your credit!"

"You're the only one who can talk!" Shen Jingjing was happy in her heart, but explained: "Going to someone else's house as a guest, you can't be too casual. I also dressed up well last time, but forgot to take a photo to show you."

Shen Ci nodded in agreement: "To be able to make you put in so much effort, it shows you value this friend enough. But having said that, as a daughter, I wish you would dress up like this every day. What woman doesn't love beauty? Before, there were no conditions, but now that there are conditions, you should spare no effort to please yourself and make yourself happy."

Shen Jingjing only recently realized the truth in her daughter's words.

Seeing her state getting better and better, it really made her feel physically and mentally happy. This kind of happiness can only be fully realized when economic conditions can support it.

They waited until Deng Xiwen came to pick them up before the mother and daughter went out together.

Shen Jingjing's new look also stunned Deng Xiwen. She couldn't stop praising her for knowing how to dress and pick jewelry after one look.

After Shen Ci greeted her, she took the initiative to sit in the front row. After Deng Xiwen finished praising Shen Jingjing, she found time to ask: "Sister Moru asked you to bring A-Ci, right?"

Shen Jingjing nodded with a smile.

"That's good. A-Ci is going to save face for you. We friends all have sons and daughters, but this is the first time Sister Moru has wanted to meet a younger generation."

Deng Xiwen said and looked at Shen Ci, instructing: "A-Ci, this Auntie Moru of yours is very impressive. Aren't you investing in business? If there's anything you don't understand or need help with, you must seize the opportunity to ask. She has a lot of experience in this area."

"I know, Auntie Deng, thank you for reminding me."

About an hour later, the car stopped outside the Pei family's manor.

It was still the same process as last time, with the butler leading them into the manor's villa. But unlike last time, Chen Moru only invited the three of them this time, without other wealthy wives.

"Oh my, Jingjing, you're really beautiful today!"

As soon as they met, Chen Moru took the initiative to welcome them and didn't spare any praise for Shen Jingjing.

"Sister Moru." Shen Jingjing greeted her, and immediately introduced Shen Ci to the other party: "This is my eldest daughter, Shen Ci. A-Ci, this is Auntie Moru."

Shen Ci had already finished observing the other party at the first moment. Chen Moru was completely different from other wealthy wives in terms of temperament. Although her attitude was warm and friendly, the strong aura in her bones was emitted from the inside out.

"Hello, Auntie Moru, I'm A-Ci."

Chen Moru looked at Shen Ci with appreciation for a moment before nodding and saying: "Really beautiful, as beautiful as your mother."

Hearing this, Shen Ci smiled, not falsely humble.

She was a great beauty!

She knew it herself.

The few sat down on the sofa, not as crowded as last time.

After Deng Xiwen sat down, she subconsciously asked: "Sister Moru, is Chairman Pei not home today either?"

"No!" Chen Moru said with a smile: "I specifically chose a time when he wasn't here to invite you. Otherwise, with a man present, you would inevitably feel restrained, and it saves you from listening to his nagging. I don't even like listening to his nagging."

Hearing her say this, the few couldn't help but purse their lips and smile.

However, at this moment, footsteps came from the second floor of the villa, and a man in his twenties, dressed neatly, ran down from upstairs: "Mom, I'm preparing to go..."

Before the man finished speaking, he looked up and saw the guests sitting in the living room, and his gaze fell precisely on Shen Ci.

He froze suddenly, and his gaze could no longer move away.

Holy shit, top-tier!
