Chapter 401: Meeting, meeting the parents?! Apologizing profusely!
Liu Qiang didn't take Grandpa Jiang seriously at all.
He was just a lonely old man with no one to rely on.
Even if this kind of person dies, it probably won't cause much of a stir.
As for Jiang Ning?
He then disregarded it even more.
A 20-year-old blonde girl!
Something really happened.
Just give me a quick and easy meal!
These two people.
One was a lonely old man.
Another one is an abandoned girl whom no one wanted.
Could they possibly turn City A upside down?
It should be noted that since the downfall of the Cheng Group and the relocation of Jidong Games to Beijing, the Liu family has been able to practically control everything in City A, except for the Shen Group.
Liu Qiang is the local tyrant here.
If Jiang Ning, that orphan girl, wants to gain an advantage over him, she'll have to get involved with the Shen family in some way.
But is that even possible?
It’s simply a fantasy!
Thinking of this, Liu Qiang's eyes were full of sinister light. He then turned to look at Wu Zhouyuan and said, "I'm leaving this matter to you. If you succeed, you'll get your share of the benefits."
Upon hearing this, Wu Zhouyuan was very excited. "Okay, Chairman Liu, don't worry, I will definitely live up to your expectations and handle this matter perfectly."
Water flows to lower place, man goes to higher position.
Wu Zhouyuan would naturally not let go of any opportunity to climb the ranks.
Wait!
That ungrateful old man surnamed Jiang is going to get what's coming to him this time.
--
Beijing.
Shen Jingnian drove Jiang Ning back.
The couple's relationship is now completely public. Although they haven't met each other's families yet, they no longer need to hide it or stop at intersections like before.
Shen Jingnian drove his car directly to the entrance of the Shi family manor.
Jiang Ning unbuckled her seatbelt and prepared to get out of the car.
Shen Jingnian got out of the car with him, saying, "Please wait a moment, sir."
Jiang Ning slightly raised her eyes. "What's wrong?"
"My mom and sister bought some things for you, and they specifically asked me to bring them to you."
"Auntie and Sister Jing Shu?"
"correct."
Shen Jingnian nodded slightly. "Yes."
As they were talking, Shen Jingnian had already walked around to the front of the car, opened the hood, and taken out the items inside.
Big and small bags.
The box was packed full of big brand logos.
"So much?" Jiang Ning was a little stunned. "Auntie and Sister Jing Shu are being too kind. I can't accept this."
"Don't feel guilty," Shen Jingnian said with a smile, his voice low. "You're my girlfriend, what's wrong with accepting some gifts? It's a blessing for our Shen family that I can have such a wonderful girlfriend like you. It's a great honor for our Shen family that you can accept these gifts. You know, in the past, even if they wanted to give gifts, no one would give them to them! If you don't accept them, my mother and sister will definitely scold me when I get back."
"Can you really bear to watch your boyfriend get scolded?"
“Alright,” Jiang Ning chuckled, “Remember to thank your aunt and Sister Jing Shu for me. I’ll treat them to a meal sometime.”
"No problem." Shen Jingnian nodded slightly. "They'll be very happy if they know you're treating them to dinner."
Jiang Ning waved to the bodyguards at the door and told them to take the things back.
There are too many things.
Jiang Ning couldn't carry it all by herself.
Shen Jingnian sat back in the driver's seat.
Jiang Ning waved to him, "Be careful on the road."
"Ok."
Just as Jiang Ning turned to walk back, she seemed to remember something and turned back again, "Shen Jingnian, wait a moment."
Shen Jingnian had not yet driven away.
He always waited for Jiang Ning to go inside before starting the engine and leaving.
"What's wrong, Ningning?" Shen Jingnian opened the door and got out of the car.
"I also have something to give you."
Shen Jingnian's eyes lit up instantly, "Really?"
“Of course,” Jiang Ning continued, “I forgot to give it to you just now.”
After saying that, she took a jewelry box out of her bag and handed it to Shen Jingnian, saying, "Take a look."
Shen Jingnian took the jewelry box and gently opened it.
I saw.
The emerald cufflinks lay quietly inside a high-end black velvet box.
It is of excellent quality, without any impurities.
"Thank you, boss, I really like it." Shen Jingnian hugged Jiang Ning, feeling incredibly content. He happened to be wearing a white shirt today. "Could you help me put it on?"
"can."
Jiang Ning nodded slightly, picked up the cufflinks, and helped him put them on.
The emerald cufflinks, bathed in sunlight, reflected a mysterious glow, perfectly complementing the captivating aura he exuded.
These cufflinks were acquired by Jiang Ning through an auction in Country Y.
The first thing she noticed when she saw the cufflinks was that they suited Shen Jingnian perfectly.
Now it seems.
Her judgment was indeed correct.
"It's beautiful," Jiang Ning said, admiring the gift she had chosen. "My boyfriend is so handsome!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Jingnian's smile was even more uncontrollable than an AK, and he lowered his head to kiss Jiang Ning's cheek.
"Shengbao, what are you doing!"
Just then, a male voice suddenly appeared in the air.
Absolutely majestic.
Shen Jingnian was startled and immediately released Jiang Ning, looking in the direction of the sound.
I saw.
Shi Nanxing and Si Huashang were returning from outside.
At this moment, Shi Nanxing was staring at him intently, as if Shen Jingnian were a pig that had sneaked into the Shi family garden and had rooted up the most precious peony in the garden, his anger level was at its maximum.
That look!
That aura!
This made Shen Jiuye, who was always in complete control and never even flinched in the midst of a bloody battlefield, feel extremely guilty. His face turned bright red, and he didn't even dare to look Shi Nanxing in the eye.
No one knows how scared Shen Jingnian is right now.
Caught kissing?
He was caught red-handed by his future in-laws.
Moreover, this is the Shi family's territory!
The buff is fully stacked.
Shen Jingnian wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground. He tried his best to suppress his emotions, looked up at Shi Nanxing and Si Huashang, and said as calmly as possible, "Uncle, Uncle, Aunt."
Si Huashang had never met Shen Jingnian in person.
When I saw Shen Jingnian in the photos, I felt that this young man had a very good appearance and demeanor. Now that I have seen him in person, I feel that he is even more imposing than he appears on the screen. He has the face of a dragon among men.
No wonder he has achieved so much at such a young age.
Putting aside Shen Jingnian's stinginess, Si Huashang's first impression of him was quite good.
He's handsome, has a great physique, and is capable.
Si Huashang felt that as long as Shen Jingnian was reliable and changed his stingy habits, he and her daughter would be a good match.
What pleased Si Huashang even more was that Shen Jingnian did not act superior just because he was a prodigy at a young age.
He was very humble and sincere.
Be humble and open-minded.
This quality is truly rare; Si Huashang saw her daughter's shadow in this young man.
It was at that moment that she finally understood why her daughter had fallen for him.
Excellent people are always attracted to each other.
Thinking of this, Si Huashang smiled and nodded, saying in a friendly tone, "Hello, Mr. Shen."
Shi Nanxing is already serious enough. If she gets any more serious, she might scare the child badly.
Seeing his future mother-in-law's kind demeanor, Shen Jingnian secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said respectfully, "Auntie, you're too kind. Just call me Xiao Shen."
"Xiao Shen," Si Huashang called out.
"Hmm." Si Huashang wanted to say something more.
"Hmph!" Shi Nanxing snorted coldly, pulling Jiang Ning's arm, "Shengbao, let's go."
Throughout the entire process, she didn't even glance at Shen Jingnian once, as if Shen Jingnian were some kind of monstrous monster that everyone should avoid at all costs.
Shen Jingnian had finally regained some confidence, but it was instantly crushed by Shi Nanxing.
Jiang Ning was immediately pulled away by Shi Nanxing.
She turned to look at Shen Jingnian, "Drive carefully on the road..."
The last two words were not uttered.
But Shen Jingnian could tell from her lip movements that she meant "I love you".
Shen Jingnian was coaxed and instantly regained his confidence, silently saying "I love you" to Jiang Ning.
"Stop looking at Shengbao." Shi Nanxing stretched out a hand to cover her daughter's eyes and eyebrows. "Let's go home."
As Jiang Ning walked, she said, "Dad, slow down, I can hardly keep up. Shen Jingnian isn't going to eat me!"
Shi Nanxing felt like crying.
Woo woo woo.
The little girl has grown up and has started speaking up for outsiders.
Si Huashang then added, "That's right, you should walk slower. I think Xiao Shen seems alright, not the kind of kid that's annoying."
Jiang Ning gave Si Huashang a thumbs up, "Mom, you have such good taste."
Shi Nanxing's face darkened further. Originally, it was only his daughter who was siding with outsiders, but now even his wife was turning against them. "What do you mean 'okay'? I think it's just so-so! Besides that face, what else is there to look at?"
Anyway, Shi Nanxing just couldn't stand Shen Jingnian!
It's extremely unpleasant to look at!
He was especially depressed when he thought that this person might take his daughter away from him in the future!
“I think as long as someone is good-looking, that’s fine,” Si Huashang continued. “After all, being nice to someone might be fake, and being considerate might be fake, but it’s rare for someone to be really handsome! If you find someone handsome, your children will be beautiful too, and you can pass on your excellent genes.”
Moreover, her daughter lacks nothing.
They have both money and power.
In Si Huashang's view, as long as her daughter is happy, that's all that matters.
She wanted to see her daughter happy.
Furthermore.
Shen Jingnian's appearance, height, and presence are on par with Jiang Ning's.
This pleased Si Huashang greatly.
At this point, Si Huashang looked at Shi Nanxing and said, "You don't want our daughter to wake up every morning to an ugly face, do you? And then have another ugly child?"
Jiang Ning then gave Si Huashang a thumbs up, "Yes, yes, Mom, you're absolutely right!"
Shi Nanxing turned to look at Si Huashang, "Although he does have some good looks, didn't Mom say that Shen Jingnian is very stingy? With such a big flaw, how can he be worthy of our Shengbao?"
At this point, Shi Nanxing looked at Jiang Ning and then instructed, "Shengbao, you can talk to him, but don't take it too seriously."
"Dad, I need to clarify the stinginess thing again. Shen Jingnian is really not stingy; he's very generous. Our relationship is mutual." At this point, Jiang Ning opened her phone and showed the Alipay transfer records. "Mom and Dad, look, these are all the transfer records Shen Jingnian made to me. I admit I like him a lot, but I'm not so love-struck as to transfer money to him and then have him transfer it back to me, creating the illusion that he loves me!"
Since the parents have a misunderstanding about Shen Jingnian.
Then we need to make things clear.
We can't let them continue to misunderstand.
Upon seeing the transfer records and photos, Shi Nanxing narrowed his eyes slightly.
The smallest stroke is 1314.
The largest single transaction was 5201314.
Moreover, each transfer was marked as a voluntary donation.
This is not something a stingy, money-grubbing person would do.
Si Huashang had initially suspected that Jiang Ning had transferred the money to Shen Jingnian in advance, but today, seeing Jiang Ning's serious expression, she completely dispelled her doubts.
"Looking back, we've been misunderstanding Xiao Shen all along. He's not the kind of person the rumors say he is. Sheng Bao, it's not easy to meet someone like him, so you should cherish this relationship."
As a result, Si Huashang was even more satisfied with Shen Jingnian.
He had been to the battlefield.
With his exceptional knowledge and current position at the pinnacle of the financial world, Si Huashang feels very at ease knowing that her daughter has such a boyfriend.
Jiang Ning nodded slightly, "I know, Mom."
Shi Nanxing seemed to want to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything. She just turned to look at Jiang Ning and said, "Shengbao, you're all grown up now. If you want to date, your mother and I certainly can't stop you. But you're still young, so you must remember to keep your feelings within the bounds of propriety."
Shi Nanxing understands her daughter; she wouldn't stoop to the level of groveling for a man.
Since the two were going their separate ways, and Shen Jingnian didn't have any fundamental problems, he shouldn't interfere too much. However, as a father, he still needed to give some reminders to prevent the young man from making mistakes.
--
Shen Jingnian did not return to the Shen Mansion, but instead went to his usual apartment.
It had been less than ten minutes since I got home.
The doorbell rang outside.
Shen Jingnian got up to open the door and saw Will carrying a spiked stick on his back, kneeling on one knee at the door. "Ninth Master, I'm sorry, I've come to apologize to you."
