Chapter 747: If you don't tell me, I'll send you back
"See what you want to eat, no need to be polite with Sister."
Shen Ci ordered after scanning the code with her phone, then pushed the phone to Shen Min, and then poured her a glass of hot water: "Drink some hot water to warm up your body. You're wearing too little. If I hadn't come to pick you up today, you would have caught a cold after walking out wearing so little."
"Thank you, Sister."
Shen Min was somewhat embarrassed, her peripheral vision couldn't help but keep stealing glances at Shen Ci, because the A-Ci sister in front of her was really too pretty.
Her memory of A-Ci sister was very little and very vague. She only remembered that her eldest aunt had taken her back to the old home, but she only stayed for three or four days before leaving.
She didn't expect A-Ci sister to become so pretty now, and her temperament was also good. Compared to her, who came from Funan, they were simply people from two worlds.
"I'll ask a friend to send some clothes over. You have similar figures, so you should be able to wear them."
Upon hearing this, Shen Min subconsciously refused: "No need, Sister, it's too much trouble for you. I have some money, I can buy it myself."
"How much money did you bring to Longcheng?"
"I saved five mao."
Shen Min was afraid her sister wouldn't believe her, so she showed the balance on her phone to her sister.
Shen Ci glanced at it. Converted, this five mao was equal to five thousand yuan. For Shen Min, it might have been enough, and this money must have been her confidence to escape her original family, but it really wasn't enough in Longcheng!
"Consumption in Longcheng is very high. Save your money. The clothes Sister asked for are all things friends don't wear. You don't need to be embarrassed." Shen Ci's tone was light and soft, wrapped in some persuasion: "Order food first."
Shen Min didn't insist anymore. She could feel the goodwill her sister had for her. She flipped through the menu on her phone. The prices were relatively affordable in Longcheng, but they were still shockingly expensive in Shen Min's heart.
The cost of living in Funan was very cheap.
Finally, she flipped to the bottom and ordered a "Egg Fried Rice".
"Sister, I'll just eat this."
Shen Ci looked at it and was both heartbroken and helpless: "You're too thin, you have to eat something nutritious. And you came to Longcheng and Sister takes you to eat egg fried rice? If your grandmother and father knew when you went back, who knows how they would mutter about me."
"I'm not going back!" Shen Min blurted out like a stress reaction. Only in the next second did she realize her voice was a bit loud, but she couldn't control her eager explanation: "Sister, I'm not going back. I can not add trouble to you and Aunt. I can do it myself. Don't they all say there are jobs everywhere in Longcheng? I can live by finding any job that includes food and housing."
Her reaction was too big, and Shen Ci was stunned for a moment.
How much grievance must she have suffered at home to rather run to this unfamiliar place alone and want to live by herself.
"Sister just said that, didn't say I would send you back."
Shen Ci said, quickly ordering a few dishes. As soon as she looked up, she saw Lianxing entering the door with a chill, dragging a suitcase in her hand.
"Honey!"
Seeing Shen Ci from afar, she waved happily, and then dragged the big suitcase and came over.
Shen Ci was shocked: "Big Miss, this is too much, right?"
Shen Min subconsciously stood up, looked at the other beauty who appeared suddenly, and blinked.
Are girls in Longcheng all so pretty?
If I stay, can I also become so temperamental in the future?
"You told me in the phone that you don't wear them, so I picked some. There are more at home. If it's not enough, I'll send them to your house tonight."
"Enough, enough." Shen Ci couldn't laugh or cry. Only then did she have time to introduce Lianxing and Shen Min to each other.
"Your sister from the old home?" Gu Lianxing looked at Shen Min curiously, finding that she looked completely different from A-Ci.
"Yes, ran here suddenly."
Gu Lianxing looked at Shen Min enthusiastically and said: "Although these clothes are second-hand, I haven't worn some of them, and the tags are still on them. Don't dislike them, haha."
"I won't, Sister. Thank you." Shen Min hurriedly said: "Giving me so many clothes for nothing, I'm really embarrassed."
"A-Ci's sister is my sister, no need to be polite, haha. If it's not enough, I have more there. We have similar figures, so you should be able to use my things. If you lack anything, just let A-Ci tell me. I also brought you two pairs of shoes, size 37.5. Can you wear them?"
"Yes, thank you, Sister."
Listening to this, Shen Min's eyes turned red. She held back for two seconds but couldn't hold back, and tears rolled down from her eyes.
Shen Ci hurriedly took a tissue for her: "Xiao Min, don't cry."
Lianxing was startled: "Why are you crying?"
Shen Min wiped her tears with a tissue, her voice choked with sobs: "N-sorry, I just..."
"Don't talk about these, eat something first."
Shen Ci interrupted her emotions, not wanting her to think about unhappy things, because Shen Ci could probably understand Shen Min's tear point. She and Lianxing only gave her some warmth and goodwill, and she was moved to tears. It could be seen that no one was good to her at home.
Shen Min nodded, and saw the waiter serving "Braised Shrimp", "Home-style Braised Yellow Croaker", "Braised Pork with Abalone", and other delicious and good-looking dishes one after another on the table.
"Eat, eat more, don't waste it."
"Sister, you guys eat too."
Shen Ci smiled slightly, and together with Lianxing, picked up chopsticks and started eating.
This meal was relatively quiet. Shen Ci didn't rush to speak, and Shen Min seemed to be really hungry, eating two bowls of rice with her thin body in one breath.
It wasn't until she saw her put down her chopsticks that Shen Ci sat up straight, looked at Shen Min, and asked: "Full, right? Then tell Sister, why did you run to Longcheng alone?"
Shen Min's expression visibly tightened, and the air pressure of her whole person instantly dropped.
"I just didn't want to stay in the old home, wanted to come out to break through and see the world." Her voice was very small. When people are guilty, their voices will subconsciously become smaller.
But Shen Ci heard it clearly.
"If you don't tell me the truth, I can't help you."
"Sister, helping me with these is enough. You didn't have the obligation to help me in the first place. I can do it myself. I just said, as long as I find a job that includes food and housing, I can live in Longcheng."
Shen Ci shook her head and reminded: "But the problem is that I've picked you up now, and your eldest aunt is also in Longcheng. We can ignore you, but as long as something happens to you in Longcheng, this responsibility will definitely fall on your eldest aunt."
Shen Min looked stunned.
Shen Ci continued: "So Xiao Min, listen well. If you don't say anything, then I have no reason and motivation to help you. In order not to cause trouble for your eldest aunt, who is my mother, I must send you back. After that, you can go wherever you want, but Longcheng is not allowed!"
"Understand?"
Shen Min clenched her clothes and nodded with red eyes: "Understand."
Shen Ci leaned back and looked at her: "Then say it." ===== CHAPTER 748 =====
