Chapter 830: Ready

~8 min read 1,418 words

Shen Ci was stunned upon hearing this, somewhat surprised that it was so fast?

Wasn't there a thirty-day cooling-off period?

After reacting, she only said in a flat tone: "He deserves it."

Shen Min pursed her lips and blinked innocently.

Actually, when her mother told her about this on the phone, she thought the same thing, but she didn't dare to say it out like Sister A-Ci. If only she could become a person like Sister A-Ci.

Bringing Xiao Min home, even though she had made full psychological preparations, Shen Min was still shocked speechless by the luxurious mansion she had only seen on TV when she arrived at her aunt's house.

Shen Jingjing came out happily to pick up the person and helped bring the luggage into the house.

"Xiao Min, stay at home first. Move to the dormitory after you get into university. Auntie has tidied up the first bedroom on the left on the third floor for you. Go up and see what's missing, and tell Auntie if you need anything."

Shen Min was still in shock, nodded woodenly, and went upstairs.

Shen Ci didn't say anything. This was originally her mother's arrangement; she was just following her mother's wishes.

After Xiao Min went upstairs, mother and daughter looked at each other and blurted out simultaneously: "Your second uncle is divorced!"

"My second uncle is divorced!"

The two were stunned, then said in unison: "You knew?"

Shen Jingjing was amused by the mother-daughter tacit understanding: "I only found out yesterday. Your grandmother told me when she called me."

"Isn't there a divorce cooling-off period now? How did my second uncle divorce so easily?"

"It's a coincidence," Shen Jingjing explained with a surprised expression: "Your grandmother said that the person in charge of the business at the divorce window of the Civil Affairs Bureau happened to be your second aunt's childhood friend. Seeing that it was your second aunt who advocated for the divorce and your second uncle had no objections, they stamped it on the spot. What cooling-off period?"

Shen Ci: "..."

This is heaven having eyes; even heaven doesn't help such a man.

Shen Jingjing sighed again: "With this divorce, I'm afraid his life will be difficult in the future. Your grandmother has been crying for several days and hasn't been able to sleep for several days."

"He is just mud that can't support the wall; no one can blame anyone."

On this trip home, Shen Ci finally understood. Although she didn't have any deep communication with anyone in the family, she could see three points by observing words and expressions on the side.

Second Aunt Zheng Hong was a person who lived a proper life. It was unknown how she treated outsiders, but it was true that she exerted effort for her own family.

She was extremely active and enthusiastic this time, and her words and deeds were very decent. To put it plainly, it was for her husband and children; she was a good wife and a good mother.

Shen Chengcheng was lucky to have married such a wife.

"Your grandmother said that after the divorce, he was still clamoring to come to Longcheng."

Shen Ci rolled her eyes: "He wouldn't even be able to beg for food if he came."

"I said so too. I told your grandmother to keep an eye on him."

"Auntie."

Xiao Min came down from upstairs, her eyes red, as if she had been crying secretly.

"Finished looking, Xiao Min? How is it? Tell Auntie if you need anything."

Xiao Min pursed her lips tightly and shook her head: "Nothing is missing, thank you Auntie."

Shen Jingjing touched her head: "Just prepare for the college entrance exam here, don't worry about anything else."

"A-Ci, tonight I'm going to see his father with Uncle Jiang. You take them out to eat when Xingxing comes back."

Going to see the old man of the Jiang family, it seems the main business is about to be put on the agenda.

"Everything that should be prepared is prepared?" Shen Ci looked at her mother and asked.

Shen Jingjing nodded: "Everything is prepared."

In the evening, Jiang Yuanliang took Shen Jingjing back to "Qingyu Villa."

Shen Jingjing dressed up carefully today. Hearing that the old man liked Eastern classical culture, she specially chose a cheongsam, and the jewelry matched was also pearls and jade.

Beautiful, elegant, and charming.

"Second Master, is this Miss Shen?"

Feng Shu's eyes lit up when he saw Shen Jingjing. Because he already knew about Second Master's affairs, he couldn't help but have some guesses and curiosity about this Miss Shen.

Seeing her true appearance today, it still greatly exceeded expectations, and she was so compatible standing with Second Master.

After a simple greeting, Jiang Yuanliang took Shen Jingjing's hand and led her into the villa.

Today, Jiang Yuanmao and Wen Shuyi were not there. The old man deliberately didn't let others come back. For the first meeting, he wanted to see her alone.

"Dad."

In the living room, the old man was sitting on the sofa playing with beads. Hearing the movement, he turned his head and looked over, his eyes accurately falling on Shen Jingjing.

"This is Jingjing."

Shen Jingjing was actually very nervous, but she tried her best to keep her face unchanged. She raised the corners of her lips faintly to reveal a suitable shallow smile.

Just as she was about to open her mouth to greet, she was interrupted by the old man: "Sit."

The old man didn't have many expressions on his face, and he couldn't see any joy or anger, but he obviously took care of Shen Jingjing's emotions and took the initiative to teach her: "The family and these children are used to calling me 'Old Man' orally. You follow suit and call me that."

"Okay, Old Man." Shen Jingjing felt relieved in her heart.

Regarding the address, she always felt she couldn't grasp it well. Calling him "Uncle" or "Uncle" felt strange to her. She didn't expect the old man to teach her proactively.

After the old man took the initiative, it was her turn. Shen Jingjing hurriedly took out the gift she had prepared: "Old Man, this is a set of 'Zitan' I chose for you. Yuanliang said you are fond of this thing on ordinary days, but I am a layman and don't know if I chose it well or not."

The old man glanced at the box and raised his eyebrows: "Open it and let me take a look."

"Okay."

Shen Jingjing nodded hurriedly, and Jiang Yuanliang also stepped forward to help open the outer packaging and the box carefully.

Inside was a set of "Zitan" tea sets. The old man raised his eyebrows again at the first glance.

"The things are not bad," he said with satisfaction, looking at Shen Jingjing and asking: "It must have taken a lot of effort to find things of this quality, right?"

Shen Jingjing nodded without avoiding it. She didn't know anything about Zitan. Looking up information on the Internet also made her dizzy; they were all professional terms she recognized but didn't understand.

She didn't want to let Jiang Yuanliang help, so thanks to the help of the rich wives' group, she managed to get such a set of top-quality goods after several twists and turns.

"Don't toss yourself around like this in the future. I have everything here and don't lack anything. Besides, I'm at this age, and I've enjoyed all the good things. You have a heart."

The old man's tone was obviously softer than just now. He changed the subject and looked at Shen Jingjing, asking: "Yuanliang said you are forty-six years old?"

Shen Jingjing nodded generously to admit it.

"It doesn't look like it. Not only does it not look like this age, but it also doesn't look like someone who has given birth to two children."

Shen Jingjing hurriedly said: "Old Man, I have three children."

"I know, two biological ones, one picked up, Yuanliang told me everything," the old man said, suddenly taking out a red envelope from his jacket pocket and handing it to Feng Shu on the side.

After Feng Shu took it, he walked to Shen Jingjing and handed it to her: "Old Man's meeting red envelope."
