Chapter 746: Shen Min

The two looked at each other and raised their eyebrows.

Regarding the grandmother, or the relatives living in the old home in Funan, both Shen Ci and Shen Xing were strangers and distant.

They hadn't seen them many times in their impression. Their mother rarely took them back, and the last time was already years ago, they couldn't remember.

It was even more so for their aunt; in their impression, it seemed their aunt had only gone back once.

"Hello, Mom."

The call was connected, and Shen Jingjing's tone was as flat as usual.

But the old lady on the other end of the phone spoke impatiently: "Jingjing, Xiao Min ran to Longcheng. You hurry up and pick her up, don't let her get lost!"

"What?" Upon hearing this, Shen Jingjing's brows knitted together: "Xiao Min came to Longcheng? What is she doing running to Longcheng?"

"Oh, how would we know!" The old lady seemed quite angry: "This dead girl's wings are hard. She disappeared early in the morning. Your eldest brother and sister-in-law thought she went out, but she sent a message after getting on the plane saying she went to Longcheng to work. She has never been on a long trip. If she runs to Longcheng alone, what kind of life is there?"

"Aren't you in Longcheng? Her plane just took off. If you go to the airport now, you can definitely pick her up. After picking her up, buy her a ticket and send her back. If you look at this dead girl when she comes back, your eldest brother won't break her legs!"

Shen Jingjing was even more shocked. Xiao Min working?

She was younger than A-Ci; shouldn't she be in school?

"Isn't she about to start school?"

"Start what school? She didn't get into university in the college entrance examination, so she said she wouldn't study anymore." The old lady didn't want to talk about these things and just urged Shen Jingjing: "Take it as a matter. Hurry up and pick her up. Don't let her have any accidents alone in Longcheng."

Shen Jingjing didn't dare to be negligent. If something really happened, the old lady would definitely blame her: "Alright, I know."

Shen Ci had been watching her mother, knowing that this call from her grandmother must be an urgent matter. It wasn't until her mother hung up the phone that she asked: "What's wrong? Does Grandmother have any business?"

"Xiao Min secretly took a plane to Longcheng alone. Your grandmother asked me to pick her up and send her back." Shen Jingjing said, already standing up, unable to help complaining: "I don't need to ask to guess what's going on. With the patriarchal nature of your grandmother and your eldest uncle and aunt, who knows how many grievances Xiao Min suffered at home? Otherwise, could she have run away secretly?"

Her eldest brother, Shen Mingming, was a few years older than her, but Shen Jingjing gave birth early, and Shen Mingming only got married and had children after graduating from university.

So although Shen Min was Shen Mingming's first child, she was two years younger than Shen Ci.

And Shen Mingming had four children in total, with only Shen Min as a daughter, and the other three were sons.

"Mom, I'll go pick her up. I'm the only one with nothing to do today."

Shen Ci stopped her mother, put the last wonton into her mouth, and stood up: "You go to the company first. I'll tell you when I pick her up."

"Can you recognize her?" Shen Jingjing was a bit worried. After all, her daughter hadn't seen Xiao Min for several years.

They say that a girl changes eighteen times, and she herself probably couldn't recognize Xiao Min now.

Shen Ci didn't have Xiao Min's WeChat, and she didn't have anyone's WeChat from the old home, so she looked at her mother and said: "You ask Grandmother for a recent photo of Xiao Min. I'll recognize her one by one at the exit after the flight from the old home lands. I'll definitely be able to recognize her."

Shen Jingjing only hesitated for a moment before nodding: "That's fine. You are the same age, so you should persuade her well when the time comes. If she wants to play in Longcheng for a few days, she can play for a few days, but she must go back in the end, otherwise, we can't afford the responsibility if something happens."

Shen Ci understood her mother's meaning: "Don't worry, I will arrange her well."

Longcheng Airport. Before Shen Ci arrived, she had already checked the flight information. According to the time calculation, there was only one flight from the old home, which would land at 9:30.

The time was almost up, and passengers were walking out of the arrival exit one after another. Shen Ci looked at the photo on her phone to ensure she wouldn't recognize the wrong person.

After about half an hour, Shen Min finally appeared.

She was wearing a jacket and pulling a huge suitcase, as if she had packed all her things into it. When she came out of the exit, she looked confused, with helplessness in her eyes, clearly completely unfamiliar with the big city.

Shen Ci recognized her at a glance and walked straight over: "Xiao Min!"

Shen Min turned her head. Seeing a super big beauty walking towards her, she looked left and right suspiciously. She didn't recognize Shen Ci until Shen Ci stood in front of her.

"You know me?" Shen Min looked at Shen Ci suspiciously.

Shen Ci smiled helplessly. Not to mention Shen Min not recognizing her, she wouldn't recognize the other party either if she didn't have a photo.

"I'm your A-Ci sister, do you remember?"

"A-Ci sister?" Shen Min was startled, clearly remembering, and looked at Shen Ci from top to bottom with wide eyes: "Y-you've become so pretty?"

Vague memories began to reappear. Shen Min vaguely remembered that A-Ci sister seemed to be very pretty when she was a child.

"You secretly ran to Longcheng. Your grandmother called your eldest aunt, so I came to pick you up specially." Shen Ci explained.

Upon hearing this, Shen Min was somewhat annoyed. She had forgotten that her eldest aunt had moved to Longcheng. If she had known, she would have gone to Jinghai.

Shen Ci noticed Shen Min's thin clothing. Funan was not comparable to Longcheng; the winter there was above zero, and it was spring in March.

Longcheng in March was still more than ten degrees below zero.

"You're wearing too little. Get in the car with me first."

Xiao Min was somewhat resistant. She was afraid of being sent back, but looking at the huge airport in front of her, she felt timid again. Clearly, she didn't have a correct understanding of the big city and only knew she was completely at a loss after coming here, not even knowing where to go.

So she nodded and followed Shen Ci into the car.

She had never sat in such a good car. The seat was like a cloud, soft and comfortable.

"Haven't eaten, right?"

"There was bread on the plane, I ate one."

"It'll be noon when we reach the city. Sister will take you to eat something first. Don't you have thicker clothes?"

Xiao Min looked down at her jacket and shook her head: "This is my thickest clothes. I can buy a cotton-padded jacket online."

Shen Ci looked at her and sighed with heartache. She was really too thin.

Her figure was about the same as Lianxing, who always maintained her figure. So she sent a message to Lianxing, asking if she had any extra winter clothes she didn't wear that could "support" her.

Arriving in the city, Shen Ci found a restaurant that was relatively ordinary for her.

But even so, it was still shocking to Xiao Min. She grabbed her sister at the door and said: "Sister, no need to eat such expensive things. Just eat some fast food noodles or something."

She wasn't being polite, but was saying this very sincerely.

Shen Ci felt heartache for her sensibility and held her hand back: "It's not expensive here, let's go in." ===== CHAPTER 747 =====
