Chapter 379: Who understands the world of the big shots!
Si Huashang stood on the thick red carpet, looking at the scene before her, and couldn't help but shed tears.
in fact.
In the days since she escaped from the Zheng family, she has felt a sense of unreality.
She was scared.
I'm afraid this is just another dream.
How did she escape from the Zheng family's impregnable defenses?
Until I got off the plane and set foot on Chinese soil.
Only then did she dare to believe that she had really come back!
From now on, she will never have to live that inhuman life again.
The butler approached from the main entrance carrying a bouquet of flowers, speaking respectfully, "Madam, welcome home."
Si Huashang accepted the flowers with both hands, her eyes filled with tears. "Thank you."
After saying that, she looked at the butler and asked somewhat uncertainly, "You, you are Uncle Liu?"
Twenty years have passed.
Uncle Liu, who was forty years old back then, has now reached his sixties.
His temples were already showing some gray.
Uncle Liu was somewhat surprised to be recognized by Si Huashang. "I'm Uncle Liu! Madam, you still recognize me!"
After all, Si Huashang only lived in the Shi family for two years back then.
Si Huashang nodded. "I know him."
Not just acquaintances.
Si Huashang remembered that their family's steward was also surnamed Liu.
At the time, Shi Nanxing even said, "This is what happens when people who aren't family don't enter the same door."
Stepping through the gates of the Shi family manor.
The memories that had been vague in Si Huashang's mind gradually became clearer again.
As they walked, they arrived at Shi Nanxing's courtyard.
The door to the room was closed.
Shi Nanxing walked over and said, "Hua Chang, open the door and take a look."
Si Huashang nodded and reached out to push open the door.
Snapped.
The door opened.
I saw.
The decorations in Shi Nanxing's bedroom are exactly the same as they were when Si Huashang left home twenty years ago.
Whether it's the wedding photos on the wall, the crib next to the wall, or even the baby onesies she was half-knitting, they're still kept in the crib.
Seeing this familiar scene, Si Huashang felt as if she had returned to twenty years ago, to the time after her marriage to Shi Nanxing, which was the happiest period of her life.
“Exactly the same.” Si Huashang choked out, “This place is still exactly the same as it was twenty years ago.”
Shi Nanxing nodded. "That's right. In the past twenty years, Mom has never touched a single needle or thread in our house."
When Shi Nanxing woke up, she saw the room's layout and thought only a few days had passed.
did not expect.
Twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Shi Nanxing put his arm around Si Huashang's shoulder and said, "Huashang, from today onwards, our family will live happily together and never be separated."
With her eyes slightly red, Grandma Shi said, "Nanxing is right, Huashang, from now on our family will never be separated."
Grandma Si was also crying beside her.
Si Huazhong stepped forward and said with a smile, "Alright, alright, Mom, Auntie, don't cry on such a joyous occasion."
Grandma Si nodded, "Yes, yes, it's a joyous day, don't cry, don't cry."
Day two.
Yue Qianlan is going back to her hometown.
Jiang Ning took her to the airport.
Before leaving, Grandma Shi specially pushed over a huge suitcase, "Shengbao, this is something I specially prepared for Sanyue. You can have Sanyue take it back."
Looking at the large box that Grandma Shi was pushing over, Yue Qianlan asked in surprise, "Grandma Shi, what's inside?"
Grandma Shi smiled and said, "They're just some specialties from Beijing and some cheap trinkets. March, thank you so much for accompanying Sheng Bao on this trip. You must keep these things, or Grandma Shi will be unhappy."
In the end, the old lady deliberately put on a stern face.
"Then I thank Grandma Shi," Yue Qianlan said, taking Grandma Shi's hand. "Grandma Shi, if you have time, you must come to City A with Ningning for a trip, so that I can have the opportunity to show you hospitality."
“Okay,” Grandma Shi said with a smile.
Jiang Ning stuffed the suitcase into the trunk.
A huge suitcase full of stuff, weighing dozens of kilograms, seemed to weigh nothing when she lifted it.
After closing the trunk, Jiang Ning turned to Grandma Shi and said, "Grandma, let's go now."
"Okay." Grandma Shi waved to Jiang Ning, "Shengbao, drive carefully on the road."
Jiang Ning took some time recently to take her driver's license test.
She no longer needs a driver to pick her up.
"I will."
Yue Qianlan got into the passenger seat, rolled down the window, and poked her head out, saying, "Goodbye, Grandma Shi."
Goodbye, March. May you have a safe journey.
"Thank you, Grandma Shi."
After saying that, Yue Qianlan pulled her head back, looked at Jiang Ning, and said in surprise, "Ningning! You actually learned to drive! When did you learn to drive?"
“Around May,” Jiang Ning replied.
Jiang Ning then asked, "Is learning to drive difficult?"
“It’s not difficult,” Jiang Ning continued. “It’s an automatic, anyone with hands can do it.”
Yue Qianlan nodded, "Okay! Then I'll go back and learn too! After I've learned it, I'll buy a Cullinan just like you!"
Ever since the college entrance examination, Yue Qianlan's parents-in-law have been urging her to learn to drive.
But Yue Qianlan never went.
Seeing that her best friend could drive surprised Yue Qianlan and inspired her to learn to drive herself.
The Shi family's home is not far from the airport.
It took about half an hour to get there.
Yue Qianlan got out of the car to get her suitcase, and when she lifted it, she was stunned. How could it be so heavy?!
Seeing that Jiang Ning easily loaded the suitcase into the trunk with one hand, Yue Qianlan thought the suitcase was very light.
did not expect!
It's so heavy!
Don't even mention using one hand!
Even with both hands and both feet, she couldn't lift such a heavy box.
At the same time, Yue Qianlan was also very curious.
What exactly did the old lady put in the box?
It's so heavy!
It probably weighs over 100 pounds.
Because it weighs several dozen kilograms, Yue Qianlan can still lift it.
"Ningning!" Yue Qianlan turned to look at Jiang Ning, "How did you manage to lift this box with one hand just now?"
"I just grabbed it casually," Jiang Ning said casually, not taking it to heart at all.
Yue Qianlan swallowed hard and asked, "Are you sure you just picked it up randomly?"
Jiang Ning nodded slightly, walked over, and still picked up the suitcase with one hand, saying, "It's not heavy."
Yue Qianlan's eyes widened!
? ? ? ?
This is what you call not heavy?
really.
She didn't understand the world of the big shots.
"Wow, awesome!" Yue Qianlan said proudly, "As expected, my amazing sister is truly awesome!"
After accompanying Yue Qianlan to check in her luggage and seeing her off at the boarding gate, Jiang Ning drove back home.
but.
She did not go straight home.
Instead, they turned a corner and arrived at the apartment where Shen Jingnian currently lives.
This is the most upscale apartment complex in Beijing.
Many celebrities live there.
Therefore, the access control system is also very strict.
Jiang Ning can come and go as she pleases because the Shi family also owns property here.
Jiang Ning opened the car door and stepped out.
I just arrived at the entrance of the apartment building.
A middle-aged woman wearing sunglasses walked over.
"Miss, please wait a moment."
"Are you calling me again?" Jiang Ning turned her head slightly.
“Yes,” the middle-aged woman nodded, took out a business card from her bag, “I am an agent from Wencheng Media. My surname is He. I think you have a very good temperament and image. I would like to sign you as an artist in our company.”
"Thank you for your kind offer," Jiang Ning politely declined. "However, I have no plans to enter the entertainment industry."
Seemingly surprised to be rejected, the middle-aged woman paused for a moment, "Don't you recognize me?"
Jiang Ning nodded slightly.
The middle-aged woman took off her glasses and said, "Now you should recognize me, right?"
Jiang Ning: "......"
It wasn't just that I didn't recognize him just now.
I still can't recognize him...
The middle-aged woman smiled and said, "That's right, I am Guo Xue!"
Guo Xue.
One of the most powerful agents in the entertainment industry.
All the artists she signs are at least popular young actresses, and the number of ordinary people begging her to mentor them every day is countless.
Guo Xue glanced at her watch and then said, "I don't have enough time today. Let's do it tomorrow, at 3 PM tomorrow, at Dynasty Coffee to sign the contract!"
Perhaps she thought that Jiang Ning wouldn't refuse her after learning her identity.
After saying that, Guo Xue turned and left.
"Ms. Guo, please wait a moment." Jiang Ning called out to her.
"I'm really busy today. As for benefits and compensation, let's not talk about it again at 3 pm tomorrow! Don't worry, the resources and benefits at Wencheng Media are top-notch in the industry."
Jiang Ning then spoke up, "Ms. Guo, you've misunderstood. I really have no intention of entering the entertainment industry, so I can't keep our appointment tomorrow afternoon."
???
Guo Xue stood there, somewhat bewildered after hearing Jiang Ning's words.
Before Guo Xue could react, Jiang Ning had already entered the apartment building.
Guo Xue was even more bewildered as she watched Jiang Ning's retreating figure.
what happened?
Usually, it's others who beg her to sign contracts.
I finally found a promising prospect today, but...
The other party actually rejected her!
They didn't even take her business card.
This made Guo Xue feel a little uncomfortable!
After a long while, Guo Xue finally came to her senses, scratched her head, and walked towards her car.
Here.
After entering the building, Jiang Ning simply used facial recognition to enter the elevator.
This wasn't the first time Jiang Ning had come to Shen Jingnian's residence; Shen Jingnian had granted her access.
and so.
Even if she is not a resident of this unit, she can still enter normally.
Shen Jingnian lives on the 25th floor.
The door is closed right now.
Jiang Ning knew the door lock code, so she opened the door directly.
As soon as the door opened.
It came running over as soon as it was born, and put its two big paws on Jiang Ning's shoulders, barking "Woof woof woof!"
It was also because Jiang Ning was strong, and she was already used to the enthusiasm of the first day of the Lunar New Year; if it were anyone else, they would have been quite unsteady on their feet.
"I missed you, Chu Yi!" Jiang Ning hugged Chu Yi tightly.
"Woof woof!"
Chu Yi nuzzled Jiang Ning's head and started to act cute.
After spotting Jiang Ning, Xiaobai on the cat tree also sprinted over at top speed.
"noob!"
Jiang Ning had her left arm around the dog and her right arm around the cat.
Hearing the noise, Shen Jingnian, who was cooking in the kitchen, came out wearing an apron. When he saw the person in the room, his deep phoenix eyes immediately lit up. "Ningning."
"Mr. Shen!"
Jiang Ning put down the cat and dog, ran over and hugged Shen Jingnian, clinging to him like a koala.
Shen Jingnian held her firmly in his arms, lowered his head and kissed her face several times, then said, "Didn't you say we'd have to wait a while before we arrived?"
Knowing last night that Jiang Ning would be picking up Chu Yi today, Shen Jingnian specially canceled several meetings and personally cooked the meal.
I was planning to pick up Jiang Ning after cooking.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Ning arrived ahead of schedule.
"There was no traffic today, so I arrived a little early." Jiang Ning raised an eyebrow slightly. "What? Was someone hiding inside?"
Shen Jing chuckled softly, his voice low and deep, "Yes, someone's been hidden."
"Who is hiding...?"
Shen Jingnian swallowed the rest of his words.
Because this time, Shen Jingnian kissed not his face, but his lips.
The kiss lasted a very, very long time.
The two changed from Shen Jingnian holding her to him pressing her down on the soft sofa.
Jiang Ning's hands were tracing his abs when she suddenly smelled a pungent, burning odor—
Therefore, the action described became pinching.
Jiang Ning smiled and reminded him, "The food is burnt."
Shen Jingnian then opened his eyes, his gaze becoming clearer. "Oh no! My sea bass and vermicelli casserole!"
Jiang Ning loves to eat fish and also loves to eat glass noodles.
So, Shen Jingnian took advantage of her absence to learn how to make this sea bass and vermicelli casserole from a chef. He loved seeing the happy expression on Jiang Ning's face when she ate something delicious.
Especially when the delicious food comes from his own hands, he feels an immense sense of accomplishment!
Jiang Ning chuckled as she watched Shen Jingnian run towards the kitchen.
A moment later, Jiang Ning also came to the kitchen. "Mr. Shen, is there any hope for the sea bass and vermicelli casserole?"
