Chapter 751: She is really our benefactor

~7 min read 1,329 words

"Mom, Xiao Min is a living person, and she's not a child anymore. Longcheng is so big, it's easy for her to hide and not be found."

"Besides, she told you she came to Longcheng, and you believed it? Since she ran away from home, how could she obediently tell you where she went?"

Shen Jingjing was making "radish silk egg pancakes" while putting the phone on speaker to deal with the old lady.

Upon hearing this, the old lady felt that what Shen Jingjing said made some sense: "That's right, you didn't pick her up at the airport. Could she have not gone to Longcheng at all? Ran to other places?"

"This dead girl, her wings are really hard. She hasn't left Funan for twenty years, and she dared to run out secretly by herself. No one would know if she died outside."

The old lady's words were ugly enough. There was no grandmother who spoke about her granddaughter like this.

If it were a grandson, he might have been anxious and crying already.

"Mom, Xiao Min is an adult. Since she's not going to school, it's good to go out and exercise and see the world. Didn't Yingying and I run out since we were children? We weren't even adults then."

The old lady said: "Can that be the same? You were out because the family was difficult, to support your brother and Chengcheng to go to school..."

"What's the difference? Aren't they all leaving their hometown? Besides, didn't Xiao Min call your eldest daughter-in-law to report peace? She's an adult and can make her own decisions. As long as she's safe, you have no right to control her."

Without waiting for the old lady to nag again, Shen Jingjing said directly: "A-Ci and Xingxing are starting school today, I won't talk to you anymore."

Hanging up the phone, Shen Jingjing curled her lips speechlessly.

The old lady said it was different, and it was indeed different. When she and her sister came out of the house, the old lady raised both hands and feet in support. That was to go out to earn money for the family, and the money earned had to be sent back.

And with Xiao Min's departure, the marriage the old lady found for her would definitely be ruined, and that non-trivial dowry would also be soaked.

Could the old lady not be anxious?

Anyway, the fact that they helped Xiao Min play the cover-up was definitely

Soon, both Shen Ci and Xingxing came down from upstairs.

"Mom, I've already found a friend to handle Sister Xiao Min's repeat year. The procedures are about the same as when Xingxing parachuted in back then; it'll only take a few days, so you don't need to worry." As soon as Shen Ci sat down, she told her mother this news.

Shen Jingjing nodded with a smile: "I'm certainly not worried. Your grandmother just called to complain, but since they can't find anyone, they have no other way."

Shen Xing curled her lip: "A family of vampires. Sister Xiao Min is only how old, and they're already thinking about marrying her off to squeeze her dry. I've never seen anything like it."

"Alright, let's not think about this for now. Once Sister Xiao Min successfully enters school, we will have done all we can. Based on Sister Xiao Min's personality, I think she will definitely spare no cost to grasp and cherish this opportunity. As for what follows, as long as she is willing to work hard, things will surely turn for the better," Shen Ci said.

After the meal, Shen Ci took her luggage and went to school.

Today is the start of the new semester; the school gate is swarming with people, and the dorm buildings are also full of students returning with luggage.

Shen Ci was dragging two suitcases toward the dorm when she bumped into an acquaintance head-on.

"Junior!"

"Senior Yanwu?"

Li Yanwu, one of the members of the "Huluwa Studio" team, is responsible for calibration and technical repairs in the group. He is usually very low-key and doesn't speak much in the team.

"Senior Yanwu, why are you back? Didn't you graduate?" Shen Ci was a bit surprised; as she spoke, she had already noticed a girl next to Li Yanwu.

She heard Li Yanwu explain: "This is my girlfriend, Chen Wei. She's still at Keda; I'm here today to drop her off for the start of the semester."

"This is the Junior Shen Ci I told you about, the god of wealth for our group, our only investor!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Wei nodded: "I know her, I've heard of her. Hello, Shen Ci."

Shen Ci smiled faintly and replied, "Hello."

Li Yanwu noticed Shen Ci pulling two suitcases and took the initiative to reach out and help: "Junior, let me help you take them up."

"No need to trouble you, Senior. There's nothing much inside, I can manage."

"It's no trouble, it's just on the way. You'd have to make two trips back and forth yourself; I can carry them all up in one go." Li Yanwu didn't think much of it and snatched the suitcases from Shen Ci's hands: "Which building?"

Seeing this, Shen Ci had to say: "Just ahead, I'll lead the way. Thank you, Senior."

"Don't be so formal with me."

Chen Wei just watched from start to finish without saying much, as if she didn't think this was a big deal.

After delivering the luggage to the door of Shen Ci's dorm, Li Yanwu didn't stay long: "Alright, I'm off, Junior."

"Sorry for the trouble, Senior, thank you." Shen Ci looked at Chen Wei and also waved: "Bye-bye."

Chen Wei nodded slightly and walked away, arm-in-arm with Li Yanwu.

"Who is that?" The dorm door opened, and Pili's head suddenly poked out from inside, giving Shen Ci a fright.

"You're here so early?"

Pili ignored her and asked again: "Who is that?"

"A senior from the project group I invested in. We happened to run into each other, so he helped me carry my luggage up. Has Lianxing arrived?"

"Not yet. I just finished tidying up the dorm; she'll probably have to wait a while."

Shen Ci didn't say much and dragged her two suitcases into the dorm.

On the other side, Li Yanwu and Chen Wei went downstairs, and Chen Wei suddenly asked: "Has this Shen Ci been investing in your project from the very beginning?"

"Yeah, didn't I tell you about our group and her?" Li Yanwu replied naturally: "Back then, we couldn't find an investor, and Junior Shen Ci took the initiative to find us. You have to say she has a good eye; all our subsequent projects have gone very smoothly."

"Then how many shares does she hold? Do all of you have to listen to her? Including Luo Tianrui?"

"Anyway, it's 3/7 right now; the split hasn't been renegotiated. She doesn't participate in our studio's affairs, she just provides the money. Whenever there's a need for capital, we get the money as soon as we ask; she's very straightforward. The studio is still managed by Tianrui, but if Junior Shen Ci has any requirements, we definitely have to listen to her. After all, the investor is the boss."

"Why are you suddenly asking these things?" Li Yanwu looked at his girlfriend strangely, feeling a bit confused.

Chen Wei shook her head with a natural smile: "Nothing, I'm just quite surprised. Shen Ci is also a topic of conversation at school; everyone is curious about her. I only found out that your project was invested in by Shen Ci after I started dating you."

Hearing his girlfriend say this, Li Yanwu didn't think much of it and just smiled: "She really is quite amazing. Anyway, people like us earned our first pot of gold in the year we graduated because of her help. She can truly be called our benefactor."
