Chapter 222 Mr. Shang, you are getting more and more shameless recently
Go shopping in the mall until noon.
During this period, Shang Jianghan followed closely behind Shen Chaoxi, and surrounding him were several bosses and managers of the shopping mall.
Accompanying my wife shopping and inspecting work at the same time, it’s the best of both worlds.
From the baby and children's products area to the adult clothing area, Shen Chaoxi returned home with a full load.
Shang Jianghan declined the counter's free bill and was not stingy in swiping his personal black card.
Mrs. Shang specially bought several summer clothes for President Shang and personally supervised him to try them on.
These clothes were worn by Shang Jianghan, who had a tall and straight figure comparable to that of a supermodel, so she was reluctant to give up any of them and had to buy a lot of them.
Shang Jianghan recalled that in the past six months, his wardrobe, which was originally filled with custom-made clothes, had given way to an increasing amount of space occupied by brand counters in domestic and foreign shopping malls. Instead of being disgusted by this change, he was paying more and more attention to it.
Shopping in the mall took two hours. After coming out of the mall, Shen Chaoxi suggested eating nearby.
Shang Jianghan looked at several shopping bags of children's clothing beside him and suggested going to the Creative City District to have lunch while delivering the clothes.
Shen Chaoxi stared at the man for half a minute, unable to imagine that he would say such a thing.
"Boss Shang, you've become more and more shameless lately!"
The tailgate of the stretched Rolls-Royce was down and the couple were joking around.
Shang Jianghan smiled faintly and reached out to touch his wife's increasingly plump pink cheeks: "I learned it from my wife!"
The driver in the front seat received the instructions and drove steadily, not daring to think about anything else. However, he was disturbed by the laughter coming from the back seat from time to time. It seemed that the boss would definitely have a sunny journey today.
The car drove into the Chuangcheng District villa. When it was still some distance away from the Zhong family villa, we saw Diandian coming towards us.
The weather has been hot recently, so the kindergarten will be closed for a week.
Shen Chaoxi got out of the car and pulled one in each hand. The two, one big and one small, asked and answered questions, which was a pleasure to watch.
Shang Jianghan followed behind carrying several shopping bags and gifts.
The Zhong family’s housekeeper trotted over to greet them.
"Boss Shang, let me carry it!"
Shang Jianghan is a patient, so how can we let him work so hard?
When I reached the gate of the villa, I saw my grandmother was there too. As soon as she saw me, she looked Shen Chaoxi up and down. Seeing that her pregnancy was normal and she had gained some weight, she was finally relieved.
When Shang Jianghan got into trouble, his grandmother was worried and went to visit him while he was in the hospital. Shen Chaoxi looked worried at that time, and although she forced herself to smile, she did not look as bright as she does now.
"Your mother asked me to come and stay with you for a while."
Ge Xiaoshu went to work and the child was taken care of by Zheng Juanjuan. The little girl was naughty and active, and the two adults were overwhelmed to take care of her. Grandma Xijing was helpless, so she did not refuse when Yao Chun wanted to pick her up.
There are also children playing around, the villa is big enough and the scenery is good, making it a good place for the elderly to cultivate themselves.
Shen Chaoxi hugged his grandmother's arm, feeling jealous.
"Grandma is so partial. I asked you to live in my house but you refused to go. You are my grandson and granddaughter, but I am not? Well, it's a deal. I will pick you up to my house in a few days."
When Diandiandi heard this, she disagreed and jumped in protest.
"Don't let grandma go!"
"Let sister come live in our house! I'll give my princess room to sister!"
Yao Chun looked at her three children with a smile on her face.
One old and three young ones were talking and laughing.
After saying hello, Zhong Hongguang and Shang Jianghan went to the tea room to drink tea and chat.
Men always talk about current affairs and business.
Today, contrary to usual practice, Shang Jianghan asked about Yao Chendong.
After learning the reason, Zhong Hongguang was also surprised. After decades, he returned to Beijing, but he didn't look for his own children, but went to look for his granddaughter whom he had never met?
What does he want to do?
Later, Zhong Hongguang recalled: "When I met Xixi's mother, Yao Chendong had been gone for more than ten years. I only heard about him from her once. Her father was a photographer who traveled all over the country. Later, he had the opportunity to go to Country M and won the gold medal at a photography exhibition that year.
Later, a local art gallery in Country M was impressed by his talent and specially invited him.
Chunchun said that her father wanted to go but her mother couldn't, and the two of them were very unhappy about this and later divorced.
Chunchun thought so at the time, until she was in junior high school and an aunt she knew well came back to China and told her that her father had already started a new family abroad with children, and was living a good life!
When Yao Chendong left, he agreed to give up custody of the children on the condition that he would not pay any child support.
You have also seen that Xixi's grandmother, Teacher Li, was a woman who was as brave as any man. She would rather swallow her anger than ask for a penny from that irresponsible man who only cared about his own future and not his family.
As a teacher, she has limited salary, and raising two children, you can imagine how hard it is!
So, what is the purpose of a selfish person like him returning to his country without seeing his own parents, but looking for his granddaughter whom he has never met?
He may have no intentions towards Xixi, and yours may be the key."
Shang Jianghan thought for a moment and nodded.
"I'll have someone pay attention to it. I think it's better not to tell my mother-in-law about this for now, so she doesn't worry out of thin air."
For lunch, the kitchen prepared a table of dishes.
Shang Jianghan hadn't drunk alcohol for nearly two months and was somewhat tempted.
"Come on, it's no problem."
Zhong Hongguang took out his own wine collection and after opening it, the unique aroma hit him.
Shen Chaoxi lowered his head to eat without expressing his opinion.
Shang Jianghan was in a dilemma and put his hand on the rim of the goblet.
"I'd better not drink it. She doesn't say anything in front of the elders. I won't feel good when I go back."
This remark caused several people at the table to burst into laughter.
Shen Chaoxi blushed and kicked Shang Jianghan under the table.
"I didn't say anything, don't frame me!"
Shang Jianghan raised his lips and deliberately asked, "Then can I have a drink?"
Shen Chaoxi: ...
Grandma smoothed things over.
"Forget it. I just had a major surgery. I'd better be careful. Let's rest for half a year before drinking. You are young. Don't take your health lightly. You should take care of it while you are young."
It's already August.
As the beginning of autumn approaches, when it is not so hot in the morning and evening, Shen Chaoxi sometimes takes a car to the studio for a walk.
The renovation of the new studio is almost complete, and the office furniture has also been decided. We are ready to move in in a few days.
With Mr. Tiger in charge, the studio's operations are running smoothly.
Shen Chaoxi is eight months pregnant and her body looks a little lazy, so she needs to exercise more regularly.
There is only a wide marble brick corridor between the current studio and the opposite studio. The villa area has strict requirements and vehicles are not allowed to enter and exit, so it is safe enough to walk.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the sky was gloomy, dark clouds were pressing down, and a heavy rain was about to come.
Shen Chaoxi went to see the layout of the studio opposite. Just a few steps out of the villa gate, he was stopped by someone.
The man looked to be over sixty years old, with starry eyebrows and sharp eyes. Although his face was covered with wrinkles and most of his hair was white, one could still tell that he was a good-looking man when he was young.
Not far behind him followed a young man in a white shirt, black trousers and white gloves.
Shen Chaoxi remembered this man, the driver who stopped her in Liping that day.
