Chapter 727: Jiang Yuanliang likes you
Shen Jingjing didn't react for a moment when she heard this, and it took her two seconds to be shocked: "Yuanliang's sister-in-law?"
Yuanliang?
Chen Moru looked at Shen Jingjing, a hint of deep meaning appearing on her face. Even the address had changed. She clearly remembered that when she first met the other party, Jingjing called him "Mr. Jiang."
It seems the situation has really changed; her news was too lagging.
"Yes, haven't you met her?"
Shen Jingjing shook her head: "No, first time seeing her, but I have seen his eldest brother once."
That time Yuanliang was sick, and she went to his house to take care of him, she saw his eldest brother who visited suddenly.
Chen Moru heard this and probed: "Jingjing, do you and Chairman Jiang often interact recently?"
She didn't ask very bluntly; she was afraid it would be too abrupt.
"He often comes to my house for dinner." Shen Jingjing was honest and blurted it out.
Chen Moru instantly smelled something unusual. Someone as busy as Jiang Yuanliang often runs to Jingjing's house for dinner?
This matter looked ordinary, but it seemed very abnormal when it happened to Jiang Yuanliang. Jingjing's craftsmanship was certainly good, but the food she made wasn't some heavenly delicacy.
If Jiang Yuanliang didn't have other reasons, with his sense of propriety in dealing with people, how could he often come to the door to bother her for a meal?
This was the Chairman of the Jiangdong Group, someone whose time was more precious than gold.
Thus, Chen Moru largely verified Wen Shuyi's words; Chairman Jiang might really like Jingjing.
But looking at Shen Jingjing in front of her, she seemed completely unaware, naively thinking that the two were just friends and that Jiang Yuanliang just liked eating the food she made.
"Sister Moru, you could have just sent a message to remind me; you didn't have to run back specially." Shen Jingjing smiled helplessly and stood up to ask her: "Then let me brew you a cup of tea to warm your body."
"Stop brewing tea." Chen Moru stopped her speechlessly and signaled her to sit down with a look.
Shen Jingjing was puzzled: "What's wrong? You seem to have something on your mind?"
"I'm fine; you're the one with something on your mind." Chen Moru took a deep breath and continued: "Sister Shuyi didn't come here today to consult about any cleaning business at all; she came specifically for you."
"Me?"
"Yes!" Chen Moru stopped talking nonsense and said directly: "She came to see you as Chairman Jiang's sister-in-law."
The confusion on Shen Jingjing's face deepened.
"Still don't understand?" Chen Moru was anxious.
Shen Jingjing looked troubled: "Came to see me as Yuanliang's sister-in-law? Why?"
"Because Chairman Jiang likes you!"
Chen Moru had no choice but to speak plainly: "My Jingjing, you haven't experienced the feelings between a man and a woman for decades. Has this nerve rusted completely?"
Shen Jingjing was dumbfounded. After a long while, she shook her head with a light smile: "Impossible."
She said these three words with extra certainty. In her heart, this was an absolutely impossible thing.
"If I heard someone else say this, I would also feel it's unlikely, but Sister Shuyi came in person, so this matter is eight or nine out of ten correct." Chen Moru straightened her expression and said solemnly to Shen Jingjing: "Jingjing, this is not a small matter. I'm telling you so you can be prepared. You think it's impossible, but the Jiang family already knows about you."
Shen Jingjing still didn't believe it: "Sister Moru, this is absolutely impossible. Yuanliang is several years younger than me, and I have three children. How could he possibly like me?"
"Who can explain feelings clearly? Maybe it's because of your personality, or maybe he just likes women older than him! At worst, it's possible because you saved his life! Why are you so unconfident in yourself? Doesn't Chairman Fei pursue you persistently? Why is it impossible for Chairman Jiang?"
"And now the facts are right in front of us. Sister Shuyi came, and just now she told me personally that she came for Jiang Yuanliang because Jiang Yuanliang likes you!"
Chen Moru's output left Shen Jingjing silent again.
Yuanliang... likes her?
Really?
Shen Jingjing's expression was confused, and the images of the two interacting began to flash back in her mind. As the contact increased, the state of their interaction also changed.
At first, after learning about Jiang Yuanliang's identity, her attitude toward him was respectful and distant because the social status of the two was far apart; they were people from two completely different worlds.
Later, learning that he took great care of A'Ci in Longcheng and helped her daughter a lot, she felt more grateful to him.
When did they become familiar?
Shen Jingjing couldn't remember; it was something that happened subtly, and the relationship between the two naturally developed into what it was now.
But it must have become like this after Jiang Yuanliang frequently came to her house as a guest.
"Jingjing?"
Seeing Shen Jingjing in a daze, Chen Moru asked worriedly: "Are you okay?"
Shen Jingjing shook her head: "I'm fine, I'm just a bit... a bit..."
For a moment, she couldn't find an accurate wording to describe her current mood.
Feeling Shen Jingjing's complex mood, Chen Moru asked cautiously: "Then do you... have feelings for Jiang Yuanliang?"
Shen Jingjing looked at Chen Moru, her mouth moved as if to deny it, but she was horrified to find that her heart didn't give the impulse to deny it.
But she didn't admit it either.
Her heart was a mess; she had no way to think about this matter completely calmly.
This was too sudden and too unexpected.
Chen Moru sighed and comforted: "Jingjing, you don't have to be anxious. I know this matter might be a bit caught off guard for you. You can think about it slowly, so you won't be caught off guard when facing these things. I'm telling you these things because I don't want you to be too passive."
Shen Jingjing pursed her lips and realized belatedly that her palms were full of sweat.
Returning home in the evening, both daughters were there.
At the dinner table, a bowl of white rice was handed to Shen Ci. Shen Ci looked up in surprise, only to find her mother's expression wandering; she wasn't looking at her at all.
"Mom, I've already served myself rice."
Shen Jingjing suddenly came back to her senses: "Oh, is that so? Mom didn't notice."
Shen Ci frowned with concern; just a moment ago, it was her mother who had handed her the rice spoon.
As a result, in the next second, A'Li frowned and looked up at her mother: "Mom, why is this shredded potato sweet? Did you stir-fry it with sugar?"
Shen Ci picked up two strands to taste upon hearing this, and sure enough, it was sweet.
"Is it sweet? Maybe I mixed up the sugar and salt. Mom will go stir-fry another plate."
Shen Jingjing said she was about to get up and go to the kitchen again.
Shen Ci pressed her mother down and asked with some worry: "Mom, what's wrong with you? From the moment you came back, I felt you were preoccupied. Did something happen at the company?"
Her mother rarely showed this side in front of them; she was always the strong and optimistic one.
Cooking had always been her most handy field. From childhood to adulthood, her mother had never failed in cooking, so Shen Ci felt her mother must have something on her mind. ===== CHAPTER 728 =====
