Chapter 039: Homeless
The Zhou family's mansion is not far from the villa area of Jiangyuan, and it takes about thirty minutes to drive.
Originally, taxis were not allowed to enter a luxury villa area like this, but Shen Tingnan had greeted the security guard at the entrance of the villa area early in the morning, so the taxi that Jiang Nian took entered the villa area very victoriously and drove directly towards the Shen family's villa.
When the taxi drove outside the gate of the Shen family's villa, Shen Tingnan was taking a golf club and practicing golf in the garden, when he heard the sound of the car engine, he saw that it was Jiang Nian at a glance, he immediately put down the pole in his hand, took a towel to wipe his sweat, and then ran towards Jiang Nian.
The car stopped, Jiang Nian was about to pay for the car, but saw Shen Tingnan running over, and then, he took out a 100 Grandpa Mao from his pocket, handed it directly to the driver's front from the driver's window, and said with a smile, "Thank you, master, don't look for it." ”
Jiang Nian, who was digging out the money, looked at him, "......."
Shen Tingnan met her gaze, but grinned, and then went over and opened the door of the back seat for her.
The door was opened, and Jiang Nian hurriedly took his backpack and got out of the car.
"Oh, I'll give it back to you!" As soon as he got out of the car, Jiang Nian took a piece of Grandpa Mao and handed it to Shen Tingnan.
Shen Tingnan looked at it, smiled even more vigorously, stretched out his long arm, hugged Jiang Nian's shoulder, and hooked her inside, smiling as he walked, "You take a taxi to my house to give my sister a lesson, it's normal to be reimbursed, otherwise next time, I will arrange for a driver to pick you up." ”
Jiang Nian leaned at him, "Well, otherwise I won't come next time, and I'll return the 50,000 yuan I received in advance to my aunt." ”
"Okay, okay, okay, I was wrong, I was wrong, next time you pay it yourself, you pay it yourself, okay?" Immediately, Shen Tingnan put his arm around Jiang Nian's shoulders and admitted his mistake and surrendered.
Jiang Nian glanced at him again, and slapped him the back of his hand holding his shoulder, "Hey, let go, I'm not your brother." ”
Shen Tingnan just didn't let go, but hugged him tighter, grinning and pretending to be a scoundrel, "Then since we can't be lovers, let's be brothers, it's not bad!"
Jiang Nian leaned at him fiercely, "......."
Outside the villa, on the side of the road more than ten meters away, there was a black Bentley parked, and on the back seat of the Bentley, the man squinted a pair of black eyes, looking into the garden through the clear window glass and the hollow garden fence, and locked the backs of Jiang Nian and Shen Tingnan firmly, not for a moment.
The eldest and youngest of the Shen family, Shen Tingnan.
If Zhou Yibai is not mistaken, Shen Tingnan is also a second-year student at the School of Economics of Dongning University, then he and Jiang Nian .......
Scold.......
The corners of Zhou Yibai's lips evoked a cold and sneering arc, and his black eyes were full of anger that he didn't even know, mixed with disgust, or, a little bit of heartache.
"Let's go!" staring at the figures of Jiang Nian and Shen Tingnan, it was not until Shen Tingnan entered the house with Jiang Nian in his arms that the two figures disappeared, and Zhou Yibai coldly ordered the driver in front.
"Yes, young master. ”
.......
Jiang Nian came early today, and started to make up for Shen Molin before nine o'clock in the morning, a class of about fifty minutes, a break of about ten minutes in the middle, and then the next one, so after the three classes were made up, it was only a few minutes past twelve o'clock at noon.
"Today's class is over, how is it, do you have a feeling of being sudden?" When Jiang Nian finished making up for Shen Molin's lesson, the two of them came out of the room on the second floor, Shen Tingnan rubbed his sister's hair, and asked with a very handsome smile.
"Hmm!" Shen Molin nodded heavily and said excitedly, "Brother, since Sister Jiang finished a class for me last time, my scores in the physics and chemistry tests this week have improved by more than ten points, and there is a physics problem that I am the only one who has done it right, which is a similar topic that Sister Jiang explained to me last time." ”
Shen Tingnan's eyebrows danced, "Yo, yes, then make persistent efforts to learn all the skills of your sister Jiang's scholar, maybe after a semester, you will be the most powerful scholar in your class." ”
"Huh....... It's my dream. Shen Molin nodded happily, looked at Jiang Nian and said, "Sister Jiang, the problem-solving methods you taught me today are too ingenious, the teacher has never taught them, I am sure that my grades will improve again in the next quiz." ”
Jiang Nian looked at this pair of innocent and innocent brothers and sisters, who looked like a pair of living treasures, couldn't help but smile, and admonished, "Although learning is about ingenuity, but more importantly, perseverance, the content of the teacher's class is the foundation, you must not be sloppy, otherwise, it will not be of much use for me to make up lessons for you." ”
"Hmm. Shen Molin nodded heavily, "I know, thank you, Sister Jiang." ”
"Today's class is over, you go back and do the few practice questions I left for you, if you don't understand, send WeChat or call me to ask, I ....... today"
"Sister Jiang, you want to go, don't, my parents are not at home today, my brother promised to invite me to eat Japanese food at noon, you can come with us! Jiang Nian didn't have an exit if he wanted to leave, so Shen Molin quickly grabbed her and didn't let her go, pleading with a face.
Jiang Nian raised his eyes and looked at Shen Tingnan opposite him.
Shen Tingnan stood there with a bag in one hand, looking at Jiang Nian with a ruffian smile on his face.
"Alright then, the two of us will eat him together at noon today. After glancing at Shen Tingnan, Jiang Nian directly agreed.
"Oh, Sister Jiang, you are so good, you are simply my lucky star, I love you!" With that, Shen Molin pounced on Jiang Nian's body and gave her a big bear hug.
Jiang Nian smiled, speechless.
"Wait a minute, I'll go change my clothes, and I'll be right here. After giving Jiang Nian a bear hug, Shen Molin hurriedly let go of Jiang Nian and rushed to his room.
Looking at Shen Molin's carefree and incomparably brisk figure, she couldn't help but raise her lips and smile.
On the other side, Shen Tingnan, who was only two steps away, looked at the bright smile on Jiang Nian's face, and couldn't help but lose his mind.
Jiang Nian noticed it, and immediately suppressed the smile on his face, then looked at him with a broken face, and warned extremely seriously, "Shen Tingnan, next time you use your sister to deal with me, I will break off your friendship with you." ”
Shen Tingnan looked at her, and she raised her lips and smiled, nodded and said, "Okay, there will be no next time, I promise." ”
.......
They went to one of the most famous Japanese restaurants in the entire Dongning City, a three-Michelin restaurant, and the only three-Michelin three-star Japanese restaurant in Dongning City.
Because the business is so hot, if you go to the meal, there is usually no place, so you must make an appointment in advance.
Shen Tingnan made an appointment in advance, so when they arrived, they reported the reservation number, and immediately a waiter led them through the restaurant.
"Jiang Nian. ”
Just as Jiang Nian, Shen Tingnan, and Shen Molin were led into the restaurant by the waiter, an extremely familiar voice suddenly sounded in their ears.
Jiang Nianqingli's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he looked sideways in the direction where the voice came from.
What she saw was not Ye Xiying, who else could she be! And who could be with Ye Xiying besides Zhou Yibai.
"Yibai, look, Jiang Nian!" Afraid that Zhou Yibai didn't see Jiang Nian and Shen Tingnan, Ye Xiying looked at Zhou Yibai, who was sitting opposite him, and smiled briskly and spoke.
Zhou Yibai acted as if he really didn't see Jiang Nian and Shen Tingnan at all, he just picked up the water cup on the table, took a sip, and then said a faint "um", not even looking at Jiang Nian and them.
"Jiang Nian, it's such a coincidence, you also come here to eat?" Seeing that Zhou Yibai looked completely indifferent to Jiang Nian, Ye Xiying didn't care at all, stood up by himself, and talked to Jiang Nian with a smile.
Jiang Nian looked at Ye Xiying, and also at Zhou Yibai, pulled the corners of his lips slightly, and said lightly, "Yes, what a coincidence, I also came here to eat." ”
Shen Tingnan glanced at Jiang Nian beside him, his gaze swept over Ye Xiying who was a few steps away, and then, when he landed on Zhou Yibai's body, he raised his lips and said, "Zhou Shao, we haven't seen each other for a few months!"
Hearing Shen Tingnan speak, Zhou Yibai lifted his eyes lightly and looked at Shen Tingnan and Jiang Nian, and then, the corners of Fei's thin lips did not have any smile, but with a touch of cool ridicule, he hooked his lips and said, "Shen Gongzi, this is your girlfriend?"
- This is your girlfriend?
Jiang Nian looked at Zhou Yibai, and when he said Shen Tingnan's girlfriend, he naturally meant her, because Shen Molin was still young, and she looked childish, and now she was wearing a cute princess dress, Zhou Yibai couldn't say that it was Shen Molin.
Yes, that's great!
Even said that his legal wife is someone else's girlfriend, and there is nothing better than this.
Jiang Nian wanted to pull the corners of his lips, saying that he didn't care, it didn't matter, but he found that at this moment, such a simple action as pulling the corners of his lips was so difficult, unprecedentedly difficult.
Shen Tingnan looked at Zhou Yibai, Zhou Yibai said that Jiang Nian was his girlfriend, he looked at Jiang Nian with a gentle and deep look, only smiled, did not admit it, did not deny it, but asked, "Zhou Shao, you should know Ah Nian, Ah Nian said that she knows you." ”
Zhou Yibai also looked at Xiang Jiangnian with heavy eyes, but there was no trace of gentleness, some, just as cold and cold as the biting cold wind, thinly cool, nodded and snorted softly, "Yes, I know, I have seen, I am not familiar!"
"Yibai, it turns out that you all know each other, so let's share the table, there are many people. Ye Xiying sat next to Zhou Yibai, hugged his arm, smiled brightly, and coquettishly played with him.
"No, Ah Nian doesn't like to be lively, let's just eat it ourselves. Saying that, Shen Tingnan looked at Jiang Nian beside him, stretched out his hand, held Jiang Nian's hand hanging by his side, and showed a gentle and handsome smile on his face, and asked her, "Is it, Ah Nian?"
Jiang Nian's hand was shockingly cold, and Shen Tingnan couldn't help but clench it tightly.
Jiang Nian raised his eyes, looked at Shen Tingnan, smiled slightly, and nodded, "Yes, I don't like to be lively." ”
At this moment, her hand was held and clenched by Shen Tingnan, she did not struggle at all, did not resist, or even resent, but was a little grateful, grateful to Shen Tingnan for giving her so little warmth and light when she fell into the ice cellar.
"Jiang Nian, are we really not together?" Ye Xiying put half of his body on Zhou Yibai's body, looking at Jiang Nian, his soft voice was full of pity.
"Xiying, you forgot, looking at her, I can't eat. Just when Ye Xiying's words fell, and Jiang Nian had not yet answered, Zhou Yibai spoke coldly, and his low voice was full of disgust.
"Yibai ,......."
"You still can't eat, my sister Jiang can't eat when she looks at you! Shen Molin, who had been standing aside and didn't speak, didn't speak, but when she spoke, it was amazing, she pulled Jiang Nian, extremely kind, "Yes, Sister Jiang, let's go, go to our own place." ”
"Good. Jiang Nian looked at Shen Molin, smiled slightly, and nodded.
"Zhou Shao, then you eat slowly, and we will make an appointment another day. Shen Tingnan said politely to Zhou Yibai.
Zhou Yibai glanced at him lightly, "Okay, another day." ”
"Ah Nian, let's go. With that, Shen Tingnan took Jiang Nian and walked towards their location.
"Yibai, in front of the public, you ....... to give Jiang Nian some face!"
"Sit back, it's time to serve. Just when Ye Xiying watched Jiang Nian and them walk away, and they were about to be good people again, Zhou Yibai frowned, pulled his arm out of her hands, and said lightly.
"Oh. Ye Xiying was obedient, sat back obediently, glanced at Jiang Nian's direction again, and asked, "Who is that Shen Gongzi?"
"Shen Zhiyuan's son of Shen Group, Shen Tingnan. Zhou Yibai picked up the water in front of him, lowered his eyes, took away all the emotions in his eyes at the moment, and replied lightly while drinking water.
"Oh, no wonder it's so familiar, I always feel like I've seen it somewhere, and more than once. With that, Ye Xiying glanced at Shen Tingnan and Jiang Nian again.
Jiang Nian and Shen Tingnan's position is separated from them by two tables, a distance of about ten meters, and they can be seen from the side.
"Then Jiang Nian is with Shen Tingnan, aren't you angry?" After taking a look, Ye Xiying asked Zhou Yibai again.
At this moment, a sashimi was brought to the table, and Zhou Yibai sandwiched a piece of salmon into the small plate in front of Ye Xiying, and did not answer her question, but said lightly, "Eat!"
.......
Shen Molin is a snack, and when she grows her body, she eats a lot, so Jiang Nian and the three of them ordered a big table.
After sitting down at the table, none of the three of them mentioned Zhou Yibai and Ye Xiying again, as if they hadn't bumped into them at all just now, and when they sat down, Jiang Nian deliberately chose the position of the table with his back to Zhou Yibai and Ye Xiying, so from sitting down to eating, Jiang Nian didn't look at Zhou Yibai and them, and even when they left, Jiang Nian didn't know, and Shen Tingnan didn't mention it.
After eating, Shen Tingnan asked Jiang Nian where he was going.
Jiang Nian said, "I don't know. ”
She really doesn't know, she really doesn't know where to go?
In the past, when her father was still there, every time she was out of school and on vacation, she wanted to go home, but since her father was gone, she didn't even want to go home.
Now that she is married into the Zhou family, she doesn't want to go back to the Zhou family.
Because, she is not from the Zhou family, and no one has ever admitted that she is from the Zhou family.
The world is so big, but Jiang Nian feels that no place is her home. ‘
"Sister Jiang, otherwise, you can accompany me to go shopping, I haven't gone shopping to buy new clothes for a long time. Shen Molin took Jiang Nian's arm, her face full of anticipation.
Jiang Nian glanced at her, thinking that Zhou Baisheng had given her money to buy a few sets of slightly more decent clothes, so she nodded and said, "Okay!"
"Let's go!" Shen Tingnan looked at Jiang Nian, never expected her to agree, and as soon as he was happy, he took her hand again and walked to the mall.
On the opposite side of the Japanese food store, there is a large shopping mall, Shen Tingnan pulled Jiang Nian all the way, Jiang Nian pulled Shen Molin, and the three of them crossed the road and walked to the mall together.
Zhou Yibai drove out of the garage and parked a few meters away from the zebra crossing, when the red light turned on, he stopped the car, and what he saw at a glance was Shen Tingnan pulling Jiang Nian, Jiang Nian pulling Shen Molin, and the three of them crossing the road together.
In the crowd, the picture, so harmonious and beautiful, stung his eyes.
"Look, Yibai, Jiang Nian, are they going to the mall? It seems that Shen Tingnan is very good to Jiang Nian, and he takes her to eat and go shopping. The distance is close, and it is directly ahead, naturally, Ye Xiying also saw Jiang Nian and them, and immediately pointed to Jiang Nian and opened his mouth crisply.
Zhou Yibai didn't continue to look, but turned his head away, and his eyes were red!
.......
Shen Molin is not only a foodie, but also a typical loser, when she sees what she likes, she doesn't have to try it at all, she just asks the waiter to pack it and send it to the villa in Jiangyuan District, and then, Shen Tingnan, the elder brother, is responsible for swiping the card in the back and paying the bill.
It's good to have such an older brother!
Jiang Nian also has an elder brother and a sister-in-law, but her brother and sister-in-law are not like this.
"Sister Jiang, why don't you buy it, you can buy it too, I'll help you pick it!" As she spoke, Shen Molin compared a pair of ripped jeans and a striped shirt to her.
Jiang Nian smiled, "This place is not suitable for me, I'll go to another store to see." ”
Although she is still a student, she is now starting to attend more and more formal occasions, and the Zhou family does not allow her to dress as casually as she goes.
"Well, okay, then let's go to your favorite store. Shen Molin was childish, but she was the best to talk and the best to Jiang Nian, so she immediately pulled Jiang Nian and went to other stores.
After looking at the two stores, Jiang Nian picked out two sets of clothes in the second store, and when she tried on the clothes and came out, Shen Tingnan had already taken the card and was about to pay the bill, Jiang Nian saw it, hurried over, and snatched Shen Tingnan's card from the salesman's hand, stuffed it into his hand, and sternly warned, "Shen Tingnan, don't make any more mistakes, otherwise, you won't even have a friend." “
Shen Tingnan lowered his head, smiled, put away his card, and nodded, "Okay, listen to you." “
Jiang Nian glanced at him, took his mobile phone and came out, WeChat payment.
.......
Jiang Nian is not good at shopping, but Shen Molin is quite good at it, after shopping for more than two hours, she bought half of the mall, and it should have cost no less than 200,000 oceans, but Shen Tingnan, who paid the bill, did not even frown.
When it was almost five o'clock in the afternoon, they came out of the mall, and Shen Tingnan asked Jiang Nian where she was going, and he sent her.
Jiang Nian shook his head, "No, you can take Merlin back first, she still has homework to do." “
"Sister Jiang, it's okay to let my brother send you, I can also send you together. "Shen Molin is always so sensible, and she helps Shen Tingnan, her brother, everywhere, no wonder Shen Tingnan is so willing to spend money on her.
"No need, just take a taxi back by yourself, you can go back first!" Jiang Nian smiled and refused again.
Shen Tingnan looked at her, he knew Jiang Nian, so he didn't force it anymore, nodded and said, "Okay, be careful yourself." ”
"Good. Jiang Nian nodded, and then, he waved goodbye to them and went to take a taxi by himself.
After getting in the car, the driver asked Jiang Nian where he was going, Jiang Nian said the address of the Zhou family's mansion, and then, the driver glanced at Jiang Nian meaningfully from the rearview mirror, and confirmed with Jiang Nian again before driving in the direction of the Zhou family's mansion.
Fortunately, there was no traffic jam today, and after about an hour, the car drove outside the Zhou family's mansion.
The Zhou family's mansion is very large, and foreign vehicles like taxis are absolutely not allowed to enter the Zhou family's mansion, so Jiang Nian had to pay for the car at the entrance outside the Zhou family's mansion, get out of the car, and go inside.
Walking from the entrance outside the Zhou family's mansion to the main building of the Zhou family's mansion is not too far, about seven or eight minutes.
It wasn't yet six o'clock in the afternoon, and at this time, Jiang Nian didn't really want to go back, so she carried a few sets of clothes she bought, carried her backpack, and walked slowly, just like a walk.
At this time, it is too late to set, the sunset on the horizon is just right, and the cool autumn breeze is blowing slowly, so comfortable!
"Drip-drip-"
Just as Jiang Nian was enjoying a rare and comfortable time, behind him, there was a train sound, Jiang Nian turned around, and saw a black Bentley car slowly driving not far away.
This black Bentley, Jiang Nian only saw it at noon, when Shen Tingnan led her across the road, it was Zhou Yibai who was sitting in the driver's seat, but at this moment, it was the driver.
Seeing the black Bentley that was getting closer and closer but didn't want to stop, Jiang Nian hurriedly took two steps back and gave way to the car, and then, like a black shadow, the black Bentley drove past her with a "swish", and the fallen leaves flew in an instant.
Seeing the person sitting in the back seat, the corners of Jiang Nian's lips twitched slightly, without any meaning, and then continued to walk forward.
"Oh my God, you still know how to come back!" When Jiang Nian returned to Zhou's house, as soon as she walked into the main building, she was greeted by Lu Jingshu's scream.
Jiang Nian raised his eyes and looked over, and what he saw was Lu Jingshu, as well as Zhou Yibai standing beside Lu Jingshu.
"Mom, Yibai. She called the two of them, looking as if nothing had happened, so that people couldn't see the slightest trace of her emotions at all.
"Hmph!" Lu Jingshu snorted disdainfully, and sneered, "Next time, if I don't send someone to invite, you don't know how to come back! ”
Jiang Nian stood there, lowered his head, listened honestly, and after Lu Jingshu's voice fell, he nodded obediently and said, "I'm sorry, Mom, I'll come back early next time." ”
"It's my business if you don't come back, it's better not to come back next time. In a rather disgusted tone, Lu Jingshu said to Jiang Nian again.
Jiang Nian lowered his head, the corners of his lips moved slightly, and he didn't speak.
Zhou Yibai stood beside Lu Jingshu, his hands in his trouser pockets, just like that, his eyes were cold, he looked at Jiang Nian with a cold attitude, his thin lips pursed, and he didn't say a word.
"Oh, you've been out all day, and you're going shopping for something!" Seeing the few bags that Jiang Nian was carrying, Lu Jingshu strode over, snatched the bags from Jiang Nian's hand, and then turned them over and poured all the contents of the bags out.
"Mom,......."
"Where to buy the stall goods, can these things be worn on the body, Lao Zhou, take them all and throw them away. Jiang Nian was about to speak, wanting to stop Lu Jingshu, but Lu Jingshu's feet had already stepped on those newly bought clothes by Jiang Nian, as if she was disgusted with a bunch of rags, and her toes hooked those clothes and kicked them a few times.
Jiang Nian looked at it, and his eyes turned red in an instant.
But immediately, she lowered her head again, and blinked, so that the little wetness that had just flashed in her eyes evaporated.
"Madam, this ......." Steward Zhou felt too much when he looked at it, but he didn't dare to openly disobey Lu Jingshu, so he had to cast his eyes for help to Zhou Yibai on the side.
Zhou Yibai looked at Jiang Nian and looked at her fixedly, but when Steward Zhou's eyes for help came, he didn't have any expression, and without saying a word, he raised his leg and walked in the direction of the staircase.
"Lao Zhou, why are you stunned, don't throw away everything. Seeing that Steward Zhou was stunned, Lu Jingshu shouted again.
“....... Yes, ma'am. Steward Zhou glanced at Jiang Nian again, and when he saw Jiang Nian, who also had no reaction, he had to nod his head and pick up the clothes on the ground that were still neatly hanging on them, and send them outside.
"You've been out for a long day today, go, go to the kitchen to help!" Seeing that Steward Zhou threw everything out, Lu Jingshu ordered Jiang Nian again.
Jiang Nian nodded and said, "Okay." “
Then, she lifted her leg and walked in the direction of the kitchen.
.......
