Chapter 503
"How could I dislike it? It's very beautiful. I think it's more beautiful than my previous one. I like it very much." Shen Jingjing admired the details lovingly. As a professional designer, Ni Man put her heart into this cheongsam.
"Thank you." Shen Jingjing said sincerely.
Ni Man felt that Shen Jingjing was not being polite but really liked it, and couldn't help but reveal a comfortable smile.
"Is Mr. Jiang busy lately?" Shen Jingjing asked casually.
Ni Man nodded: "Quite busy, I haven't seen him for almost a week."
As she spoke, she lowered her head slightly to cover the loneliness in her eyes. Although she had been mentally prepared, when she really experienced the feeling of not seeing anyone for a long time or even not receiving any news from the other party, she would still inevitably feel sad.
Also as a woman, Shen Jingjing could sensitively receive the other party's mood.
"Find something to do for yourself, and you won't think about things."
Ni Man raised her head and smiled embarrassedly: "It's not that I haven't done it. I started a brand myself and it finally went bankrupt. This matter was a big blow to me."
"I'm not good at other things. If I had the ability like Ms. Shen to open a company, that would be great."
"What ability do I have? It's just good luck to always get help from noble people." Shen Jingjing said with a smile.
But this was her true thought. In addition to the old employees of the previous company like Manager Tao and Sister Min who were willing to believe in her, there were also friends in the noble circle like Sister Mo Ru and Xiwen, including Mr. Jiang who also helped her promote vigorously, which led to the company's achievements today.
She has always been very grateful for this.
"Don't belittle yourself. Everyone is willing to help you because of your own charm. Otherwise, why not help others? To forge iron, one must be strong oneself."
Shen Jingjing smiled when she heard this. The mood that had just been ruined by Fei Cheng was suddenly cleared up and all good.
And at this time, her phone suddenly received a message.
She picked it up inadvertently and looked at it, her face changing slightly.
It was sent by Mr. Jiang.
"Ms. Shen, do you have time tonight? I would like to invite you to dinner."
Ni Man was sitting opposite her. Shen Jingjing felt terrified for a moment, especially since Ni Man had just said that she hadn't seen Mr. Jiang for almost a week.
"Are you okay?" Ni Man noticed her face changing slightly and cared subconsciously.
Shen Jingjing turned off the screen and shook her head as usual: "I'm fine, thank you for your cheongsam. I will definitely wear it next time there is an important occasion."
Ni Man said with a smile: "Try it on when you go back. If there is any size that is not suitable, remember to tell me, and I will change it for you."
As she spoke, she stood up to say goodbye. Shen Jingjing didn't keep her long and personally sent her to the company entrance.
Watching Ni Man get in the car and leave, Shen Jingjing slowly took out her phone, stared at the screen for a long time, and replied: "I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang, I've been quite busy lately. Let's make an appointment when we have a chance next time."
Fei family villa.
In the evening, because Shen Jingjing suddenly canceled the date in the evening, Fei Yunzong returned home early after finishing his work today.
Pushing open the villa door, the interior was actually dim, forming a sharp contrast with the bright daylight outside.
Fei Yunzong was slightly startled, his brows frowned, and he called out casually: "Sister Chen?"
Sister Chen is the nanny at home. Usually, whenever he returns, Sister Chen will come out to greet him at the first time, help him hang up his clothes, and then put his shoes in place.
But today it was quiet, and there was not a sound around.
He changed his shoes and walked into the living room, only to find that the curtains in the living room were drawn. The light from outside only faintly penetrated, barely illuminating the furnishings in the room.
On the sofa, a person was sitting faintly. Fei Yunzong looked closely and recognized him.
"Son?"
He tried to call out, and pressed the automatic curtain switch on the wall casually. A "buzzing" sound rang in the room, and the curtains in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows spread slowly to both sides in response.
The living room gradually brightened. Fei Yunzong walked closer and found that Fei Cheng was sitting on the sofa with his head buried, and his hands were holding a photo frame, inside which was his mother's black and white portrait.
Fei Yunzong was shocked!
"Why did you take it down?" Grabbing the photo frame, Fei Yunzong's face showed faint anger, and he looked at his son and asked: "What's wrong with you? What happened?"
Fei Cheng slowly raised his head to look at his father, his eyes gray and dark: "Dad, do you still have Mom in your heart?"
"What kind of words are you asking?" Fei Yunzong sank his face displeasedly, and raised his hand to gently wipe the dust that didn't exist on the photo frame.
Because of this portrait, he would wipe it himself every day.
It had a dedicated room in the house. Fei Yunzong would drink a glass of wine alone in that room every night and talk to the portrait.
He also mentioned not long ago that he might be taking a new step in his life. He hoped that his wife's spirit in heaven would know this, and he believed she would definitely understand.
"Then why do you still want to be with other women?" Fei Cheng asked with a face full of grief. Facing his father, he was completely a different person from facing Shen Jingjing today.
Fei Yunzong said: "Son, your mother has been dead for more than ten years, and you have already grown up and graduated. Could it be, could it be that Dad doesn't even have the right to choose a partner again?"
He sat down beside his son slowly and said cautiously: "Dad thought you would support me."
"Support?" Fei Cheng laughed at himself: "Why should I support you being with someone I am completely unfamiliar with? Dad, everyone says you are affectionate and long-lasting. Then what is this now? For so many years, have you been acting?"
"You..."
Fei Yunzong was dumb, with no anger in his heart, only disappointment.
For his son, he hadn't remarried for so many years, and in the end, he got such a question?
"Anyway, I don't agree. I have already expressed my meaning to Aunt Shen."
"What do you mean by that?" Fei Yunzong's gaze sharpened: "You went to find her?"
No wonder Jingjing suddenly said she had work to be busy with in the evening and canceled the date with him!
"How could you do this!" Fei Yunzong's tone rose sharply, and he stood up indignantly, looking at his son and reprimanding: "You can tell me any thoughts you have in your heart, but you shouldn't rashly disturb others!"
Fei Cheng glared back without fear: "So you are protecting her now? Dad, where is she better than Mom? You haven't had any thoughts about anyone for so many years, why is it her? Why!"
"Because your mother has already passed away!" Fei Yunzong roared loudly, the veins on his forehead bulging, and his whole face flushed with anger: "Your mother has been dead for more than ten years! But your dad is still alive!"
Hearing this sentence, Fei Cheng's tears swirled in his eyes. He shook his head with a face full of despair, holding back his tears: "I don't agree, I won't agree. If you must be with her, then don't recognize me as your son!"
