Chapter 27: By the way
"There's no time." Shen Jiawen didn't want to talk to Jiang Lian at all, she planned to bypass Jiang Lian and go to a men's clothing brand she frequented to buy something, but Jiang Lian blocked her way again.
"I heard that you have a good relationship with Ruihua, so let me remind you, Ruihua will not be with you, and it is impossible for his parents to accept you." Jiang Lian said calmly, but her eyes looked at Shen Jiawen sharply.
"So what?" Shen Jiawen's brows furrowed slightly, why did everyone think that she and Duan Ruihua were together? Is Duan Ruihua that amazing? But she didn't say anything.
Jiang Lian didn't expect Shen Jiawen's reaction to be so calm, making the lines she prepared useless, she pursed her lips tightly before she spoke: "Everyone is a woman, and I don't want to see you scarred at the end, if you are smart, stay away from Ruihua." ”
"Do you care about me from the bottom of your heart or do you want to remove the obstacle of love rivals for your daughter, you know in your own heart, don't say how noble you are, if you are so afraid that Duan Ruihua will be snatched away by me, then you should try hard to tie him up a little bit." Shen Jiawen said mockingly, this time she didn't give Jiang Lian a chance to speak, and left directly.
After buying a wallet for Du Kang and a limited-edition sports watch for Du Sihan, Shen Jiawen drove back to the villa, where the maid at home had already prepared lunch.
"Uncle Kang." Shen Jiawen walked in with his things, saw the suitcase in the living room, and asked with a smile, "Only one suitcase?" ”
"I don't have anything to bring, you can buy what you need there." Du Kang said indifferently, "Are you from home?" I heard you didn't go to the company today? ”
"I've bought you a present." Shen Jiawen raised the shopping bag a little for Du Kang to see, and then took it out in the same way, "This is a gift for my mother, it will be her birthday in a while, I can't go to Canada to celebrate her birthday, so please ask Uncle Kang to help me bring the gift to her." ”
"Pearl jewelry? Your mom must have loved it. Du Kang opened the jewelry box and got the pair of pearl jewelry, even a layman can see that this set of jewelry is not cheap, and more importantly, Shen Jiawen's mind has always remembered Shen Huibin's birthday.
"This is for you." Shen Jiawen smiled, then took out a men's wallet and handed it to Du Kang, "Uncle Kang, it's time to change that wallet, it's been used for many years." ”
"My daughter gave it to me, and I can't afford to change it." Du Kang said with a smile, while taking out the wallet, the wallet he is using now is a wallet that Shen Jiawen bought when he was twenty years old with the money he earned from his part-time job and a scholarship, although it is not very expensive, but it makes Du Kang happy for a long time, and that wallet has been used for a long time.
"I know you're reluctant to change, so I bought you a new one to see if you like it." Shen Jiawen said with a smile. She once overheard Du Kang chatting with someone else, the person laughed at Du Kang for being so rich and using a worn wallet, but Du Kang said that the wallet was given by his daughter, even if it was broken, she would continue to use it, and at that moment she was moved and complicated.
"Yes, you give me anything I like." Du Kang opened his wallet with a smile, saw a hundred-yuan bill inside, and said with a smile: "You give me back the money!" ”
"People say that you can't send empty wallets, you have to put some money in, which means good." Shen Jiawen said, took the two wallets from Du Kang's hands, then opened the old wallet, took out all the things in the new wallet, and handed the new wallet to Du Kang, the old wallet was going to be thrown away, "You will use this new one in the future, and when the new one becomes old, I will help you replace it with a new one." As for this old one, I threw it away for you. ”
"Don't throw it." Du Kang immediately snatched back the old wallet and said, "This is a gift you gave me, don't throw it away, you go to dinner first, I'll take this wallet back." ”
As if he was really worried that Shen Jiawen would throw away his old wallet, Du Kang took the old wallet back to the room and put it away. Shen Jiawen couldn't cry or laugh, but his nose was a little sour.
"Done?" After a while, watching Du Kang come out of the room, Shen Jiawen asked with a smile.
"Put it away!" Du Kang's serious answer made Shen Jiawen laugh.
"Uncle Kang, this is a gift to Sihan." Shen Jiawen took out the last gift, "He got a scholarship last semester, and I promised to give him a gift." ”
Du Kang looked at the limited edition watch and knew that the price was expensive, so he looked up at Shen Jiawen with a serious face and asked, "You bought gifts for us, what did you buy for yourself?" ”
"I don't lack anything, if I lack it, I will definitely buy it for Baiji." Shen Jiawen replied with a smile, looking at Du Kang's disapproving expression, Shen Jiawen coaxed, "I'm not a child anymore, I won't wronged myself, and even if I don't buy things for myself, you often buy things for me, so don't look serious, I'm afraid now." ”
"You kid." Du Kang was amused by Shen Jiawen's questioning, and sighed silently in his heart, planning to ask the secretary to transfer some money to Shen Jiawen's bank account, although he knew that Shen Jiawen was not short of money.
Shen Jiawen smiled slyly at Du Kang, "Uncle Kang, let's eat, I'll take you to the airport later." ”
Du Kang originally wanted to say that a driver would take him to the airport, but after thinking about it, he didn't say anything, nodded, and walked into the dining room with Shen Jiawen.
After the two had eaten, Shen Jiawen sent Du Kang to the airport, and after seeing Du Kang's plane take off, Shen Jiawen planned to leave, but saw an old man dragging a suitcase at the airport gate.
Shen Jiawen didn't think she was a nosy person, so she just glanced at the old man and went to the parking lot to pick up the car. When the car drove out of the parking lot, Yu Guang casually glanced at the entrance of the airport, and found that the old man was still there, with a panic and uneasiness on his face, and without thinking too much, Shen Jiawen's car had already stopped in front of the old man's door.
"Do you need help?" Shen Jiawen lowered the window and asked the old man.
The old man looked at Shen Jiawen for a moment before he spoke, "Can you take me to the city." ”
"Good!" Shen Jiawen nodded and agreed, anyway, she would go back to the city and stop by the way. So she got out of the car, put the old man's luggage in the trunk, and then opened the door of the back seat to let the old man get into the car.
"I'd better sit in the front." The old man smiled at Shen Jiawen, and sat in the door of the passenger seat of the taxi. Shen Jiawen didn't care, closed the door in the back seat, returned to the car, and drove away.
"Where do you live? I'll drop you off, or you call your family and ask them where to pick you up. Shen Jiawen spoke.
"Just take me to the city, and I can go home by myself." The old man said calmly.
Shen Jiawen glanced at the old man, and after thinking about it, it is indispensable to guard against people, and the old man is not wrong to do this, so he didn't talk and drove quietly.
"Are you going to the airport to see someone off?" It may be that the carriage is too quiet, and the old man took the initiative to chat with Shen Jiawen.
"Well, send an elder." Shen Jiawen replied.
The old man sighed, was quiet for three seconds and continued, "I have been living abroad, many of them have not come back, and I have not notified my family when I came back this time, I originally planned to take a taxi back, but there is not a single taxi over there." ”
"The taxi is at the other exit, you're going in the wrong direction." Shen Jiawen thought for a moment and replied.
"I see, I asked a few people, and they didn't know." The old man said with some emotion, "Girl, what's your name, I have to thank you when I turn around." ”
"No, drop by!" Shen Jiawen said calmly, she drove off the airport expressway, and it took about ten minutes to enter the city.
"Girl, you let me get off at the intersection in front, this is the city, there are many cars, I can take a taxi back." The old man looked at the high-rise buildings outside the car window, as well as the vehicles coming and going, and turned his head to Shen Jiawen and said.
"Good!" Shen Jiawen glanced at the old man, parked the car on the side of the road after crossing a traffic light intersection, and got out of the car to help the old man take off his luggage.
"Thank you, kid!" The old man thanked Shen Jiawen.
"You're welcome! You stay safe! Shen Jiawen smiled slightly, turned around the car, and drove away. The old man's words just now seemed to touch her heart, but the indescribable feeling quickly disappeared, and Shen Jiawen quickly put this matter behind.
After Du Kang left, Shen Jiawen became even busier, and there were many things in the company waiting for her to decide, and she dealt with them, and she almost had to make the company her home. And Duan Ruihua has not appeared during this time, and the media reported that he has been chasing a popular female artist recently, and I don't know if it's true or not, but Shen Jiawen doesn't care at all.
Just finished reading all the documents to be signed, signed them, and then saw that the water cup next to her was empty, she was holding the cup and was going to make a cup of coffee, but as soon as she got up, she felt that her eyes were dark, her mind was dizzy, and she fell weakly on the chair.
She leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes, waiting for the dizziness to pass before slowly opening her eyes, she glanced at the time under the computer screen, half of the lunch break had passed, she remembered that she had only made a cup of cereal in the morning, and she had not eaten anything until now, no wonder she was anemic and dizzy.
Shen Jiawen took out a piece of candy from the drawer and put it in his mouth, thought about it for a while, and decided to go out to eat something to empty his mind before returning to work.
At this point in time, there were many people going to any restaurant, so she bought fast food and went to the nearby civic square to find a bench to sit on. There is a large fountain in the middle of the civic square, and a few children of four or five years old are learning to skate with the help of adults, and there are also a few elderly people dancing in the shade of trees.
Shen Jiawen was eating pizza and drinking Coke, while looking at the group of people, everyone's faces were full of smiles, even those children who learned roller skates fell, but they didn't cry, got up and dusted off their bodies, and then continued to practice. Ordinary but happy life, this is what Shen Jiawen once longed for, but now she feels that her busy life is not bad, at least she feels that she still has the value of existence.
"Girl, it's really you." Shen Jiawen felt that someone was sitting next to her, and when she turned her head, she saw that it was the old grandfather she brought back to the city at the airport a few days ago.
"Hello, grandpa." Shen Jiawen greeted the old man, smiled faintly, and then continued to eat the hamburger.
"You work nearby?" The old man glanced at Shen Jiawen's clothes, opened his mouth and asked, seeing that Shen Jiawen didn't answer, he continued: "You eat these at noon?" It's all junk food. ”
"Just fill your stomach." Shen Jiawen smiled faintly, pointed to the remaining pizza in the box and asked, "Do you want to eat a piece, it's delicious." ”
The old man glanced at it with disgust, just when Shen Jiawen felt that the old man would not eat it, the old man picked up a piece of pizza and ate it, Shen Jiawen was stunned at first, then smiled, picked up a piece of pizza again and ate it, the two of them looked at the group of people dancing in the square, someone passed in front of them, looked at them strangely, thinking that they were grandparents and grandchildren.
