Chapter 120 The future boss lady of Lianzhong fell on her head
When she got home last night, she couldn't sleep well. She went to the living room to get some water and ran into Zheng Juanjuan who came out to the bathroom.
Shen Chaoxi moved back home the day before yesterday.
"Can't sleep?"
The lights in the living room were turned on. Zheng Juanjuan's eyes were half-sleep, and it was obvious that she had just woken up, while Shen Chaoxi's eyes were clear, as if she had just slept.
"Yeah." Shen Chaoxi poured himself half a glass of water and took two big gulps.
Zheng Juanjuan came out of the bathroom and simply sat cross-legged on the sofa.
"Are you worried about something? Talk to your aunt."
So, half an hour later, Zheng Juanjuan woke up completely.
"You mean, you're going to register for marriage tomorrow?
The target is still the president of Lianzhong?
Is that the teacher who helped you in the police station that year?
Xixi, is he after something from you? Or have you encountered some difficulty or been threatened?"
His niece was so pretty, a best-selling author, and had great earning power. But no matter how capable she was, there was still a world of difference between her and the third young master of the merchant class!
Shen Chaoxi understood Zheng Juanjuan's thoughts very well. She also felt incredible all night.
The future boss lady of Lianzhong just fell into her hands!
Seeing the girl's dazed expression, Shang Jianghan went to hold her hand.
"what's wrong?"
Shen Chaoxi came back to his senses, looked sideways at him and smiled.
"It feels a bit dreamy, like Cinderella meeting the prince."
Shang Jianghan smiled: "You are not Cinderella, you are the Princess and the Pea who fell into the mortal world. Gold will always shine, and you have found your destined prince!"
Shen Chaoxi didn't expect that he also knew these fairy tales, and he bent over with laughter.
Surprisingly, a person who has been immersed in the business world for many years still has a childlike heart.
A moment later, Shen Chaoxi watched the Maybach slowly drive into the avenue.
"where are we going?"
They just got their marriage certificate today, so he can’t go to work.
"Take you somewhere."
Didn't say where to go.
Shen Chaoxi didn't ask either.
An hour later, the Maybach drove into the city center.
Shen Chaoxi knew this road, the back street of Sijiu Square, the shops and the old house of the Zhong family.
Shen Chaoxi looked over with a puzzled look.
The man's profile was as clear as if carved with a knife, his cold white skin was flawless even at close range, his chin and corners of his mouth were smooth, with no trace of stubble.
She knew that this man always paid attention to his image, and even when he was weakest and sickest, he would never show his haggard face to others.
The Maybach drove for a while and stopped at the old merchant's house.
The housekeeper Sun Bo opened the gate, made way and let the car drive in.
The quaint gray and white architectural style appears before your eyes, with a strong southern scholarly courtyard style.
Shen Chaoxi got off the car and was pulled by Shang Jianghan along the cobblestone path, across a wooden bridge, and into the inner courtyard.
"It's really quiet here, perfect for recuperation." Shen Chaoxi exclaimed sincerely.
"If you like this place, let's come here often." Shang Jianghan turned to look at her.
"Do you come here often?" Shen Chaoxi asked.
There are not so many trees in the inner courtyard. The road is paved with gray stones, and dozens of potted plants are neatly arranged on both sides. Orchids, pines and cypresses are grown together, and they complement each other.
"I grew up here when I was a kid, and I rarely stay overnight in recent years." Shang Jianghan replied calmly, and no emotion could be heard. Soon, the two walked into the main house, and they were greeted by a lady in her sixties, with traditional hairstyles, meticulously done, and wearing a dark purple Chinese dress.
"Jiang Han is here! Who is this?"
The other party addressed Shang Jianghan in a very casual tone, like an elder at home addressing a younger person.
Soon, Shen Chaoxi knew who the other party was.
"Aunt, this is Xixi. We got our marriage certificate today. She is my wife."
Under the aunt's surprised gaze, Shang Jianghan introduced this aunt to Shen Chaoxi.
"My elder aunt has been taking care of grandpa here."
Calling her aunt naturally means she is the merchant’s sister.
The aunt quickly came to her senses and pulled Shen Chaoxi into the inner room.
"Hi! When I was young, my family encountered misfortune, and the old man took me in. I stayed in the Shang family for decades. He watched Jiang Han grow up since he was a child. He called me that out of respect."
My aunt is kind and humble.
"…The old man has not been in good health these years, and his mind is sometimes unclear. Some of his habits are more familiar to those of us who have been around him for many years, so I stayed in the old house and took care of him."
Shen Chaoxi followed her aunt into the inner room, but Shang Jianghan did not follow in. The housekeeper asked about the specifications of lunch, and Shang Jianghan took the opportunity to smoke outside.
When Shang Jianghan came in, the old man had already started playing Go with Shen Chaoxi.
"This girl is pretty good," Mr. Shang nodded at Shang Jianghan, then glanced at Shen Chaoxi. His memory was seriously degraded now, and he couldn't tell who the person was. He casually said, "She's better than the girl from the Bai family! So don't force it if you don't want to. A forced melon is not sweet. And my poor grandson is brought here to be raised. I don't know who dares to bully him! This good child is only a few months old, but he has bruises all over his body. Did he get bumped?"
The aunt was making tea. It was too late to stop her after hearing this. She looked at Shang Jianghan timidly.
"The old man is confused, explain it to Xixi."
At this time, Shen Chaoxi had already cast her gaze towards Shang Jianghan, and her hand holding the chess piece trembled slightly.
The old man didn't think he had said anything wrong and urged Shen Chaoxi to finish his chess move.
"You little girl, you're still young, why are you dithering? Don't you want to win my baby? Don't cry if you lose!"
The old man's voice was still confident, but his movements and expression showed his age.
Shang Jianghan walked over and sat on the rosewood stool next to Shen Chaoxi, reaching out and holding her other hand under the chess table.
The man's big hands were warm, and the cufflinks of his windbreaker brushed across Shen Chaoxi's wrist, flashing by with a hint of hardness.
Shen Chaoxi glanced at him sideways and gave him a smile, with moisture still lingering in his black eyes and his thin lips slightly pursed.
Such an expression made Shang Jianghan's mind waver.
The game of chess lasted another quarter of an hour. The old man won with one move and he smiled, which was a rare moment for him.
"I won't let you cry. The gifts have already been prepared, Su Qian."
My aunt’s name is Su Qian.
Following the old man's instructions, the aunt took out a black satin jewelry box and walked over to open it.
"Master, is this the one?"
The velvet box was opened, and a jade bracelet as green as water appeared in front of them.
Although he did not study jade, Shen Chaoxi could see that the value of this bracelet was beyond compare in the world and it was a priceless treasure.
"Well, this is the gift Xiaojun left for his grandson's wife. She passed away early, so I kept it for them. Unfortunately, there are only a pair. One for the eldest son's family, one for the third son's family, and I'll give the rest to the second son."
"The old man is fair, no one dares to say anything!" said the aunt with a smile.
Then the old man pointed at Shen Chaoxi and said, "Give it to her, the third son's wife, she deserves it!"
At this time, Mr. Shang remembered who the person in front of him was.
The aunt hurriedly handed over the jewelry box, smiling so much that the fine lines at the corners of her eyes folded: "Here, take it, it was left by Grandma Jiang Han for her two daughters-in-law, but your eldest aunt passed away early... Later, it was passed on to the granddaughter-in-law according to the old man's wishes. The old man is not confused now!"
