HCB Chapter 81: Smiling Too Sweetly, Leaving City A!
Chapter 81: Smiling Too Sweetly, Leaving City A!
Everyone has a bottom line.
Shen Jingnian was the same.
Kneeling on the washboard?
nonexistent!
He will never kneel on a washboard in his entire life.
Hearing this, Yun Zhengyi laughed and said, "Jingnian, don't say that too soon. You might be in a worse situation than me!" After all, the Shen family has a history of being afraid of their wives.
The daughters of the Shen family are all skilled at managing their husbands.
Where are the men?
They are all henpecked husbands.
Anyway, Yun Zhengyi is really looking forward to Shen Jingnian kneeling on the washboard.
That scene must have been spectacular.
Yun Zhengyi grew increasingly excited as he thought about it.
Why does Shen Jingnian always mock him for being afraid of his wife?
Shen Jingnian didn't take Yun Zhengyi's words to heart at all. "Brother-in-law, I'm not you. Don't impose your ideas on me."
"I'm just making a hypothetical assumption, what if you become henpecked in the future?" Yun Zhengyi said.
“I’m against marriage,” Shen Jingnian leaned back in his chair, his thin lips parting slightly, “So, your assumption doesn’t apply.”
Yun Zhengyi: "..."
good good!
Perfect closed loop.
He wanted to see if his brother-in-law intended to remain unmarried for life.
After a moment, Yun Zhengyi continued, "Getting back to the main point, Jingnian, please help me contact your sister! I don't know if she's still angry. It's my fault; I was too careless when I smoked. The fact that she allowed me to smoke is already a concession! She's been so good to me; how could I take advantage of that and burn her dress?"
By the end, Yun Zhengyi's face was full of self-reproach.
Shen Jingnian glanced at Yun Zhengyi and said, "Brother-in-law, can you please stop making such a fool of yourself?"
"Shameful?" Yun Zhengyi looked puzzled. "How am I shameful?"
Shen Jingnian said with disdain, "Isn't it shameful to be afraid of your wife?"
Yun Zhengyi burst out laughing. "What's so shameful about being afraid of your wife? Do you know why my career is so successful? It's all because of your sister, my capable wife, keeping me in check!!!"
Yun Zhengyi and Shen Jingshu were in a free-choice relationship.
Back then, Shen Jingshu was the campus belle of A University, with countless suitors. He was just an ordinary person among them, but Shen Jingshu had no regard for social status and chose to marry him without hesitation.
After marriage, she respected and loved him. Although he could be a little temperamental at times, Yun Zhengyi thoroughly enjoyed it.
and so.
Even after so many years of marriage, their relationship remains very good.
Tubes?
Judging from Yun Zhengyi's expression, he seems quite happy being managed!
Is Yun Zhengyi some kind of masochist?
Shen Jingnian looked completely bewildered.
"A grown man, standing seven feet tall, is actually afraid of a little girl. Isn't that shameful?"
“It’s not shameful,” Yun Zhengyi continued. “Jingnian, stop talking to me. Hurry up and contact your sister! Don’t let her sulk.”
Having no other option, Shen Jingnian picked up his phone and made a call.
Shen Jingshu answered the phone quickly.
"Hey, Jingnian, what's up?"
“It’s my brother-in-law. He’s looking for you.” After saying that, Shen Jingnian handed the phone to Yun Zhengyi.
Yun Zhengyi took the phone. "Jing Shu, I'm sorry, you kept not answering my calls, so I had no choice but to contact Jing Nian. Honey, I promise you, I'll never smoke again..."
Hearing Yun Zhengyi's increasingly cheesy words, Shen Jingnian couldn't help but shudder and turned to walk into the lounge.
He couldn't hear a single word of Yun Zhengyi's conversation with Shen Jingshu.
It's so sour it'll make your teeth fall out.
Shen Jingnian didn't understand.
We see each other every day, but we were only apart for a short while, so why are we talking so much?!
At that moment, Shen Jingnian could never have imagined that one day not long after, he would be consumed by longing for Miss Jiang after just one day without seeing her, and he would pour out his longing to his phone, spewing out a whole bunch of cheesy love words.
of course.
That's a story for another day.
There are beds in the lounge.
Shen Jingnian took off his suit jacket and lay down on the bed fully clothed, ready to take a nap.
Half an hour later.
Yun Zhengyi, with a big smile on his face, came to the lounge with his phone.
Shen Jingnian was already asleep.
I don't know what I dreamed about.
A person who is usually serious and rarely smiles suddenly has a slight upturn at the corners of their mouth, and their originally cold and stern features become warm and gentle, as if a glacier is melting and the earth is reviving under the warm sun.
Yun Zhengyi was taken aback.
Who did my brother-in-law dream about?
Could it be Bai Yueguang?
Correct!
She's definitely the white moonlight.
Otherwise, why would Shen Jingnian be smiling so sweetly?!
Haha, no wonder her nickname is Sweetie.
Seeing his brother-in-law's smile growing sweeter and sweeter, Yun Zhengyi was very curious about what kind of girl could win over this unattainable beauty.
He didn't disturb Shen Jingnian's sweet dream. He quietly placed his phone aside, then closed the door to the lounge and left.
As soon as he reached the door, Yun Zhengyi's gaze was drawn to a book on the office desk.
A Random Walk Down Wall Street
This is a book about investment and finance, and it's also Shen Jingnian's favorite book. Judging from the wear and tear on the cover, this book was probably brought from China.
Yun Zhengyi couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.
His brother-in-law is truly terrifying; he actually brought "A Random Walk Down Wall Street" back from China. His thinking, his level of insight—who among ordinary people can reach that? No wonder he's already the number one person in the financial world at such a young age!
Not long after Yun Zhengyi left, Shen Jingnian also woke up. Although he had only slept for about half an hour, his spirits had improved a lot.
After getting up, he first washed his face with cold water, then sat down at his computer desk in the office. It was fifteen minutes to one o'clock, and Shen Jingnian first logged into Jinxiu Zhidian.
He wanted to see if Phyllis could unravel the trap he had set [the assassination].
But Phyllis has not been online since yesterday.
This disappointed Shen Jingnian.
Shen Jingnian raised his hand to press his temples, then casually picked up "A Random Walk Down Wall Street" from his desk and flipped to the page he hadn't seen before.
If Yun Zhengyi were here, he would be surprised to find that this is not a finance book at all, but clearly a disguised version of "How a Straight Man Can Win a Woman's Heart".
Shen Jingnian carefully read the text above.
[Gentlemen, please remember: if you add a girl on WeChat, be sure to post on your Moments regularly so she can keep track of your activities. Sharing is the best way to express your feelings. Also: if a girl likes you, she'll definitely like your posts!]
Is the desire to share the best confession?
What kind of idiotic statement is this?
funny!
He would never post on WeChat Moments!
He never posts on WeChat Moments!
Shen Jingnian closed the book and walked to the French windows. It was winter in the United States, and the outside was covered in silver. Standing at the highest point, he could take in all the beautiful scenery.
A few seconds later, Shen Jingnian took a picture with his phone and shared it on his WeChat Moments, with the caption:
[One day, winter and summer passed.]
Almost as soon as he finished posting on WeChat Moments, there was a knock on the door, followed by the secretary's respectful voice, "Ninth Master, the chairman and representatives of KD Group have arrived in the conference room."
"Okay, tell them to wait a moment, I'll be there in three minutes." After confirming that the post had been sent on WeChat Moments, Shen Jingnian turned off his phone.
Three minutes later, Shen Jingnian appeared in the conference room.
During the conversation, KD's chairman Cha Jun-sung and representative Jung Chan-yeol noticed that Shen Jingnian was acting differently than usual, checking his phone almost every five or six minutes.
Moreover, his face darkens every time he sees it.
Shen Jingnian already had an icy expression, and after looking at him several times, the oppressive feeling in the air grew stronger and stronger!
Che Juncheng and Jung Chanyeol became increasingly nervous, their backs breaking out in layers of cold sweat. Had they said something wrong and displeased Master Jiu?
How to do?
Is Ninth Master going to cancel his cooperation with them?
--
It's afternoon in Country M right now.
It was already the next morning in China.
Jiang Ning has a habit of going for a morning run.
Eight O'clock.
She had just returned from her morning run.
Grandpa Jiang had already prepared breakfast.
"Ningning, eat quickly. After you finish eating, we'll take your Grandpa Zhou to the station."
station?
Jiang Ning was taken aback. "Didn't I tell Grandpa Zhou I would be going back the day after tomorrow?"
The day after tomorrow is the day they move into the villa.
Jiang Ning had already arranged with Zhou Jinpeng that they would have a celebration together after they finished moving before Zhou Jinpeng set off for his return.
Just then, Zhou Jinpeng came out of the room and, upon hearing this, explained, "Ningning, I was originally going to wait until you finished moving before I went back. But I got a call from my hometown saying that my cousin, who I grew up with, is dying, and I have to rush back to see him one last time."
When you get old, this is all you have left to think about.
Jiang Ning then asked, "What time is your train ticket?"
"The 10:10 train." Zhou Jinpeng said anxiously, "All the tickets are sold out now, only the 10:10 train is left. The bullet train to my hometown takes 8 hours. I hope I can make it!"
"Then I'll eat quickly, and after I finish eating, I'll go with Grandpa to take you to the station."
Zhou Jinpeng smiled and said, "It's okay, Ningning. This isn't my first time taking the high-speed train. You don't need to take me. I can go by myself."
“Let Grandpa and I take you there,” Jiang Ning said to Zhou Jinpeng. “Once you leave, who knows when you’ll be able to return to City A.”
Grandpa Jiang nodded. "Ningning is right. We can have a good chat on the way."
After finishing their meal, at exactly 8:20, Jiang Ning hailed a ride-hailing car and accompanied Grandpa Jiang to the station.
Half an hour later, we arrived at our destination.
After getting off the bus, Zhou Jinpeng looked around at the unfamiliar landmarks with a blank expression, then said in a panic, "Wait a minute, Ningning? This isn't the high-speed rail station! Oh no, oh no, the driver took us to the wrong place!"
Grandpa Jiang smiled and said, "Old Zhou, you didn't send me to the wrong place, this is the airport. Ningning bought you a plane ticket. Didn't you say before that you had never flown before? This child remembered that, and she even bought you a first-class ticket."
Hearing this, Zhou Jinpeng felt a mix of emotions. He hadn't expected that a casual remark would be remembered by Jiang Ning.
Even Jiang Ning, an outsider, is so kind to him.
But the three children he raised with his own hands kicked him out of the house.
Zhou Jinpeng felt increasingly heartbroken, and his eyes welled up with tears: "Ningning, why are you wasting money like this? I heard that first-class tickets on airplanes are incredibly expensive, costing ten times more than regular cabins!"
