Chapter 641: I brought you here to enjoy life

"Next time I wear high heels, there will be a sound."

A single sentence directly made Shen Ci laugh.

Li Jianguo looked at Shen Ci with an appreciative expression and nodded: "Your performance lately has been good. You haven't missed any of the classes you should have attended. That's what a student should look like."

"Since you've already called me out for a public critique, if I don't show some tact, wouldn't that be disrespectful to you?" Shen Ci said, half-jokingly.

Li Jianguo huffed: "Don't butter me up. You're attending school for yourself; whatever you learn is yours."

"I know, Li Dao. Do you need me for anything? If not, I'm going in."

As Shen Ci spoke, she was about to enter the classroom, but Li Jianguo stopped her. With a flick of his hand, he produced another envelope.

Shen Ci's eyes widened slightly. What was going on today?

An envelope battle?

It made her feel like a female secret agent meeting a contact.

But she soon discovered the clue, because Li Jianguo's envelope was different from the others—it was red.

It was that kind of bright red!

Shen Ci's expression shifted from shock to surprise. She looked up at Li Jianguo and found that he was also looking a bit embarrassed.

"Are you for real, Li Dao? How come you're getting hitched so quietly?" Shen Ci took the envelope, pulled out the contents, and sure enough, it was a wedding invitation.

"It's not exactly quiet. The other party is my college classmate," Li Jianguo explained, looking a bit shy.

Shen Ci asked with a gossipy look: "Rekindling an old flame?"

"Not exactly," Li Jianguo quickly shook his head to deny it: "It's just that we both feel we are suitable for each other in our current state, so we decided to get married."

Shen Ci nodded in understanding: "Alright, congratulations to you. I will definitely be there."

Back in the classroom, Shen Ci put away the envelopes from Li Dao and Wang Yikun, then handed the other love letter to the female classmate next to her.

The girl was slightly stunned: "Aren't you going to look at it?"

Shen Ci shook her head: "This person is called... what was it again?"

"Xu Zhisen."

"Oh right, I've never met him. I've been giving you all the breakfast he sent over. Do me a favor: return this love letter to him tomorrow and tell him I have a boyfriend."

"Ah?" The girl hesitated, pursing her lips with a strange expression.

Shen Ci raised an eyebrow at her: "You wouldn't be unwilling to help with such a small favor, would you? It's just passing on a message."

She had fed all the breakfasts Xu Zhisen sent to this girl, and she had been enjoying them quite happily.

"It's not that." The girl took the love letter and nodded gently: "Fine."

After finishing her morning classes, Shen Ci went straight to her aunt's new home. As soon as she entered, she saw her aunt and uncle cleaning.

"Aunt, Uncle!"

"Aci is here!"

Seeing Shen Ci, Shen Yingying hurried over and pulled a pair of high-quality slippers from the shoe cabinet to hand to her: "I prepared these slippers especially for you; they're very comfortable."

"Why are you cleaning yourselves? Didn't I tell you to call professional cleaners?" Shen Ci said while changing her shoes.

"Cleaners are expensive, and this place is over 500 square meters!"

"It's precisely because it's over 500 square meters that you need cleaners. If it were 50 square meters, you and Uncle could clean it however you liked." Shen Ci said helplessly, then called out to her uncle: "Uncle, stop scrubbing. All the furniture and appliances in this house are the best; some need to be cleaned with special tools, or they'll be ruined."

This scared He Bin, and he quickly put down the rag in his hand.

But in reality, Shen Ci said it on purpose; no matter how precious the furniture and appliances were, they wouldn't be ruined just by scrubbing.

"We own a cleaning company ourselves, yet you two are busy doing this. If my mom finds out, she'll definitely be angry with you." Shen Ci feigned displeasure.

Shen Yingying still felt the pinch: "Cleaning once costs quite a bit."

"That's a given. My mom's cleaning company targets high-end clients, and every time they do a deep clean. It takes several people several hours to clean these 500 square meters; it's not expensive." As Shen Ci spoke, she had already taken out her phone to place an order for her aunt's house: "If everyone were as frugal as you two, my mom's company would have gone bankrupt long ago."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Ci glanced over and saw several cardboard boxes piled up in the living room.

"What's this again?"

He Bin smiled embarrassedly: "This is stuff Guangrong sent over from Shengang. It's all clothes."

Shen Ci shook her head, feeling a bit faint.

She looked at her aunt speechlessly; she didn't need to guess to know it was her aunt's idea.

Shen Yingying chuckled: "The clothes are all in good condition and can still be worn. We can't just throw them away, right?"

"Of course we have to throw them away. Everything in the new house must be new." Shen Ci walked up and took her aunt's hand, saying earnestly: "Aunt, when my mom first came to Longcheng, she was exactly like you. It took me a lot of effort to change her consumption habits. Can you not make me do the same thing twice?"

"Aci..."

"Aunt!" Shen Ci interrupted her, her tone softening as she tried to reason with her: "In the past, our family had five children to raise and send to school. You, Uncle, and my mom worked hard to earn money, and the family conditions were limited, so of course we saved wherever we could."

"But it's different now. Both A-Li and I can earn money, and we earn a lot. My mom has her own company now. We don't have to live the way we used to, worrying about every little thing before buying anything."

"Not to mention anything else, you saw the changes in my mom when you came this time. Everything she wears, carries, and holds is something she bought for herself."

"In my heart, you and Uncle are the same as my mom. We are a true family, so please don't feel ashamed to spend my money, unless you don't treat me like a daughter."

Shen Ci spoke with genuine sincerity. Shen Yingying was already emotional, and her eyes turned red as she listened.

"Aci, Aunt knows..."

"As long as you know. I've grown up now and have the ability, so I just want everyone in our family to live a good life. You and Uncle don't need to worry about the future of Suisui and Guangrong. With me as their older sister, I'll cover everything."

"I brought you here to Longcheng to enjoy life. I bought you a big house, not for you and Uncle to clean it every day. You really don't have to do anything; you couldn't finish cleaning 500 square meters in a day anyway."

Just as she was speaking, Shen Ci's phone received a text message.

She remembered the date and turned around to avoid her aunt, casually opening the message to read the content: "Your card ending in *1069 received a cross-bank transfer of. 00 yuan on December 9th at 10:52 at the Longcheng Branch. Current balance:. 38 yuan. Sender: Longcheng Human Resources and Social Security Department. Remark: Pension 【Construction Bank】"

"Aunt, I see the house is still missing some soft furnishings. You and Uncle tidy up, and I'll take you out for a stroll. While we're at it, I'll buy you some clothes to fill up the wardrobe."

"I'll have the cleaners handle these boxes in a bit." ===== CHAPTER 642 =====
