Chapter 96 Heading to Hong Kong!
Chapter 96 Heading to Hong Kong!
Shen Jingnian dislikes the kitchen.
I also hate the smell of cooking fumes.
A real man should be able to strategize and command in the marketplace or on the battlefield!
What kind of thing is it to be relegated to the kitchen?
Not doing business properly!
Knowing his uncle's personality, Yun Haotian stopped trying to persuade him after hearing this answer. "Alright, alright, then I'll go to the kitchen with my dad first."
Yun Zhengyi looked at Shen Jingnian and said, "Jingnian, cooking is not a sign of self-degradation. Maybe when you have someone you like in the future, you'll want to cook soup and meals for her yourself."
“Brother-in-law, you are you, and I am me. I can’t guarantee what will happen to others, but I will never become the kind of person you’re talking about.”
Yun Zhengyi shrugged. "That's hard to say."
Who can guarantee what will happen tomorrow and the day after?
Shen Jingnian sat down on the sofa. "Facts speak louder than words."
Yun Zhengyi nodded. "That's right. Jingnian, you'd better not mess things up, or I'll really laugh at you."
"And me," Old Madam Shen added, "I won't just laugh at you, I'll laugh at you loudly!"
“Me too!” Shen Jingshu added.
"Meow!" Even the little white dog lying on the sofa let out a meow.
"I'm sorry, you probably won't be able to see this," Shen Jingnian said, walking to the sofa and picking up Xiaobai. "You unfilial son, you still know how to come back?"
I bent down and smelled it.
well.
It still smells familiar.
Shen Jingnian hugged Xiaobai tighter.
Yun Zhengyi and Yun Haotian's cooking skills were indeed excellent; during the meal, Old Madam Shen praised them endlessly.
Even someone as picky as Shen Jingnian praised him a few times.
After finishing the meal, Madam Shen seemed to remember something and continued, "By the way, Jing Shuzheng, if you three are free on Saturday, remember to come home."
"Saturday?" Shen Jingshu continued, "Mom, I'm going to get a facial on Saturday, so I won't have time to come home."
"Grandma, I have plans to go racing with my friends on Saturday, so I won't have time to come back. Is there anything important you need me for?"
"I've invited Ningning to come over to play," said Madam Shen.
Upon hearing this, Shen Jingshu quickly replied, "I have time, I have time."
Yun Haotian also stopped racing. "I have time now, and I can show my skills to Father Jiang on Saturday."
Shen Jingnian silently picked up his phone and sent a message: 【All schedules for Saturday are cancelled.】
After sending the message, he put his phone back on the table.
Hidden strength and name.
When the secretary saw Shen Jingnian's WeChat message, she thought she was hallucinating.
Cancel all Saturday plans?
all?
He has been working at the Shen Group for three years.
Shen Jingnian has never canceled any trip without a valid reason!
What's going on today?
Has Ninth Master forgotten that he has a very important contract to sign on Saturday?
Thinking of this, his secretary sent him a WeChat message: "[Ninth Master, there's a contract that needs to be sent over for your review on Saturday.]"
My phone vibrated.
Shen Jingnian picked up his phone again and replied with two words: 【Postponed.】
Although it was only two words, it still made the secretary break out in a cold sweat and dare not send any more messages to Shen Jingnian.
This time, Shen Jingnian didn't turn off his phone directly. He suddenly remembered that he hadn't posted on WeChat Moments for several days, so he immediately switched his phone to camera mode and took a picture of the food on the table.
Caption: [Dinner.]
Just like last time, this post on WeChat Moments received many likes and comments as soon as it was published.
Shen Jingshu happened to be browsing her WeChat Moments at that same time.
Seeing Shen Jingnian's WeChat Moments, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Jingnian, I remember you never used to post on WeChat Moments, but recently you've posted two in a row. Do you really have someone you like?"
Madam Shen asked excitedly, "Who? You brat, who do you like? Is it Ningning?"
Upon hearing the name 'Ningning,' Shen Jingnian's breath hitched, but he still tried his best to remain calm and composed, maintaining his cool and aloof demeanor. "When people reach a certain age, they automatically unlock some hobbies, such as listening to opera or practicing Tai Chi. Is that strange?"
Yun Haotian nodded, "That's true. I didn't like practicing Tai Chi before, but now I really enjoy it."
Shen Jingshu narrowed her eyes, feeling that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
Madam Shen's temper instantly deflated; she had thought the boy had finally come to his senses!
did not expect!
"Will you be back on Saturday?" Old Madam Shen then asked.
"Maybe." Shen Jingnian picked up the silver spoon and took a sip of soup.
"I'm warning you," Old Madam Shen was determined to matchmake Shen Jingnian and Jiang Ning. After all, she had even learned to swim for her beloved daughter-in-law, whereas she used to be a complete landlubber! "The whole family will be home that day. If you dare not come home, I'll smash your head in."
Shen Jingnian turned to look at Madam Shen, appearing reluctant, "Since you want me to come back so much, I'll try my best."
After saying that, Shen Jingnian put down his silver spoon. "Mom, brother-in-law, sister, I'm finished eating. I'm going upstairs now."
"Get out of here!" Old Madam Shen waved her hand. "I'm annoyed just looking at you."
No one noticed that after Shen Jingnian turned around, a faint smile appeared on his thin lips.
--
Saturday arrived quickly.
Jiang Ning arrived at the Shen family home as promised.
She brought flowers, fruit, and a box of tea.
Madam Shen came out to greet her personally. Seeing that she was carrying so many things, she couldn't help but scold her, "Ningning, you child, I'm already very happy that you came to visit. Why did you bring so many things?"
Jiang Ning smiled faintly, "It's just a small token of my appreciation, Auntie, please don't be so polite."
Shen Jingnian walked to Jiang Ning's side and lowered his voice, "Let me take it."
"Okay." Jiang Ning handed the things to Shen Jingnian.
As soon as Shen Jingnian took the items, he looked at Jiang Ning with some surprise.
Without him.
This was because these things were much heavier than he had imagined. He saw Jiang Ning lift them up and they seemed light, so he thought they weren't heavy at all!
It seems.
What he saw of Miss Jiang was just the tip of the iceberg.
Shen Jingshu, Yun Zhengyi, and Yun Haotian and his family of three also came out of the house.
"Ningning is here."
"Father Jiang!"
"Miss Jiang."
A family of three, with three different names.
Jiang Ning walked to Shen Jingshu's side, "Sister Shen, brother-in-law, Haotian."
Shen Jingshu liked hearing Jiang Ning call her that; it made her feel several years younger!
"Ningning, let's go inside quickly. I have something to tell you. Recently, the chef at home has developed several new desserts that you're sure to like!"
Madam Shen quickly caught up with the two of them, "Wait for me, Jing Shu, Ning Ning, wait for me."
Autumn has arrived.
The back garden has a beautiful view.
Therefore, Shen Jingshu suggested going to the back garden to drink tea and enjoy the scenery.
Jiang Ning naturally agreed.
But in fact.
Enjoying the scenery was an excuse; the real purpose was to create a private world for Jiang Ning and Shen Jingnian.
and so.
Not long after arriving at the back garden, Jiang Ning simply went to the restroom. When she came out again, Shen Jingnian was the only one left in the pavilion.
Jiang Ning asked in confusion, "Where are Auntie and Sister Shen?"
Shen Jingnian said, "They seem to have gone over there to see the camellias."
"What about my brother-in-law and Haotian?" Jiang Ning then asked.
"They went to the kitchen to cook, saying they wanted to show you their skills today," Shen Jingnian said.
"You went to cook?" Jiang Ning asked in surprise, "Are your brother-in-law and Haotian so amazing? They can actually cook!"
"Is being able to cook a big deal?" Shen Jingnian asked.
“Of course it’s amazing,” Jiang Ning looked at Shen Jingnian and asked with a smile, “Do you know how to do it too?”
"Yes, yes," Shen Jingnian nodded slightly. "If they can do it, of course I can too."
But a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.
Feeling guilty.
"You're really amazing!" Jiang Ning picked up her cup and took a sip of tea. "I've tried to learn to cook before, but it's too much trouble. How did you learn? I really didn't expect you could cook!"
Jiang Ning originally thought that someone like Shen Jingnian would disdain going into the kitchen.
Unexpectedly, he was different from others.
"Cooking is actually very simple, not as complicated as you think." Shen Jingnian's expression remained normal, but he was panicking inside.
"You're amazing!" Jiang Ning gave him a thumbs-up.
If the conversation continued, Shen Jingnian would break out in a cold sweat. He quickly changed the subject: "Ningning, this is a rare opportunity. How about we play a game of chess?"
“Okay.” Jiang Ning’s attention was immediately drawn to Go.
Shen Jingnian sent a message to the servants at Shen Garden to send over a Go set.
soon.
The two then engaged in battle.
Mutual exchange.
Old Madam Shen and Shen Jingshu hid behind a pillar not far away, watching everything that was happening in the pavilion.
It feels so stealthy.
Shen Jingshu exclaimed, "What a perfect couple! Jingnian and Ningning are such a perfect match, they're so pleasing to the eye!"
Madam Shen nodded, "I can't even imagine how beautiful my future granddaughter will be!"
She could even see her adorable granddaughter waving at her.
evening.
After Jiang Ning returned home, Shen Jingnian first ordered two cookbooks online.
Then I enrolled in an offline cooking training course.
He just bragged about it!
Even if you have to crawl, you have to finish!
And you have to sneak through it.

Monday morning.
Jiang Ning and Yue Qianlan made a promise to go to school together.
As soon as the two arrived at the school gate, Qian Sicheng caught up from behind.
"Jiang Ning, please wait a moment."
"What's wrong?" Jiang Ning turned her head slightly.
Qian Sicheng handed her the test paper, saying, "This one is yours."
"Finished watching?" Jiang Ning asked.
"Yes, I've finished reading it." Qian Sicheng's expression turned somewhat dejected as he said this. "Your level is too high. I might, I might not be able to surpass you in the next monthly exam."
Oh oh oh!
He'll probably be second best forever from now on.
"So insecure?" Jiang Ning raised an eyebrow slightly.
"It's not that I lack confidence, it's that you have the ability." Qian Sicheng carefully studied Jiang Ning's test paper and discovered a frightening fact: Jiang Ning's essay was almost perfect, she only missed a few words in English, and her math mistakes were the most basic questions—not incorrect answers, but simply typos...
He tried to do that test paper.
Even if he tried his best without looking at the answers, he could only score around 690 points.
Therefore, he lacked confidence in surpassing Jiang Ning in the next monthly exam.
Qian Sicheng looked up at Jiang Ning, "However, although I won't be able to surpass you in the next monthly exam, Jiang Ning, don't be arrogant. I will work hard to surpass you in the college entrance exam! I definitely will!"
"Okay." Jiang Ning nodded.
After saying that, Qian Sicheng left.
Watching Qian Sicheng's retreating figure, Yue Qianlan crossed her arms and said with a smile, "This bookworm is quite interesting!"
Jiang Ning nodded in agreement, "It is indeed quite interesting."
As soon as He Suosuo entered the school gate, she saw Qian Sicheng approaching Jiang Ning.
He Suosuo frowned slightly, a hint of jealousy flashing in her eyes. "Shameless! She actually hooked up with Qian Sicheng so quickly!"
Qian Sicheng was not only a top student but also came from a very wealthy family.
In addition to her outstanding appearance, she had many admirers at school.
But Qian Sicheng was a bookworm, obsessed with studying, and never got close to girls.
Jiang Ning has only been here a few days, and even Qian Sicheng is chasing after her!
He Suosuo felt increasingly distressed the more she thought about it.
I'm so jealous I can't breathe.
No.
She couldn't let Jiang Ning be so smug!
He Suosuo quickened her pace to catch up with Qian Sicheng. "Qian Sicheng, Qian Sicheng, please wait."
Qian Sicheng stopped in his tracks. "Excuse me, classmate, is there something you need?"
"Jiang Ning is divorced."
Qian Sicheng frowned slightly, somewhat taken aback.
A smug glint flashed in He Suosuo's eyes. "Yes, you heard right, Jiang Ning was married before! She's just a unwanted secondhand item, don't get too close to her!"
Upon hearing these words, Qian Sicheng's face darkened instantly, and he said coldly, "So what if she's been married? Isn't your despicable behavior of slandering others behind their backs even more shameful than her being married?"
He Suosuo froze on the spot, her face turning pale and then red.
why?
Why was the result a little different from what she had imagined?
Shouldn't Qian Sicheng join her in condemning Jiang Ning?
Why did he speak up for Jiang Ning?
Damn!
Jiang Ning deserves to die!
--
time flies.
Before you know it, a semester has come to an end.
The first day of winter vacation.
Yue Qianlan came to find Jiang Ning, wanting to invite her on a trip. "Ningning, let's go out and have fun for a few days, and then come back just in time for the New Year! Do you want to come with me?"
Coincidentally, Jiang Ning also had the idea of traveling before the New Year, but she didn't have any specific plans, so she asked Yue Qianlan, "Okay, March, where shall we go?"
How about going to Hong Kong?
