147. Compassion
Mrs. Shen was not polite to her son-in-law. didn't even look at the daughter who stared at the opposition next to her, and directly stretched out her hand and smiled. The water in his eyes was crystal clear, and his mouth was infinitely emotional, "Xiaojing, it is said that a son-in-law is half a son, and my son is raised for nothing." Shen Xingzhi was so old that he didn't say that he would take a card to honor his mother, let me brush it casually. ”
Shen Ruochu was speechless for a moment, and it took almost all of his willpower to resist the urge to roll his eyes...... Shen Xingzhi gave you a woolen card for you to swipe! That's what Lawyer Shen should do, okay! Who dares to rob this kind of thing to please his wife, and who is in a hurry to rob her father!
Daddy Shen is in a hurry?! Shen Ruochu frowned, thinking about it. After dinner, Mrs. Shen went back to her house as usual. Shen Ruochu immediately ran back to the bedroom and called Father Shen to complain about the situation. said that Jing Yan tried to use sugar-coated cannonballs to paralyze Mrs. Shen, so as to lower the image of your husband in the eyes of his wife.
After hanging up the phone, I felt a lot more comfortable, but it didn't have any substantive effect. The next day, Mrs. Shen took her to the mall as usual, and took Jing Yan's card to swipe it casually, and she liked to swipe it!
Shen Ruochu is a pregnant woman in the end, and there are many people in the shopping mall, so bumps and bumps are inevitable. Jing Yan was afraid that Mrs. Shen would not be able to take care of her alone, so she sent a driver and a competent assistant to accompany her throughout the process.
It's in a woman's nature to spend money. Mrs. Shen used to be busy with work and didn't go shopping often. It seems that things must be reversed, and she has probably been suppressed for a long time, and when she buys things at this time, the word "crazy" is not enough to describe. Even Shen Ruochu, who is a girl, feels incredible.
It's not that I'm worried about the money, or I'm a little frightened. Is this still her own mother? Is it her own mother who struggles on the front line of work like a man all day long, spends all her time and energy on her career, and always flaunts that shopping is equivalent to wasting her effective life!
It must have been the wrong way she opened it......
It was only an hour after entering the mall. Except for Shen Ruochu, a pregnant woman, the other three people already had large bags in their hands, and there was no place to carry them.
However, Mrs. Shen was still unsatisfied. In the end, Shen Ruochu couldn't bear it anymore, and said helplessly: "Mom, let's find a place to rest for a while." After saying that, he looked at the poor driver and assistant. The driver is a big man, who is strong and healthy, and he can't get tired of it, but he is in the consideration that it is inconvenient for all men, and the assistant sent by Jing Yan is a woman, surnamed Wang. The little girl looks about the same age as Shen Ruochu, has a very good temper and personality, and is very thoughtful. It's just that the body looks a little weaker, and it can't stand the big bag and small bag.
Mrs. Shen looked at the two of them hanging like Christmas trees, and she couldn't help it. He smiled apologetically, "Then let's find a place to rest first." As he spoke, he looked around cursoryly, and just happened to see a Western restaurant upstairs, "Let's go there and sit down first, and Auntie has lunch to treat." It's been a hard day. ”
They are all shrewd people, where will the assistant and the driver let Mrs. Shen treat her. In the end, the two politely excused themselves, took the things in Mrs. Shen's hand, and sent them back to the villa in Xinchen Garden first.
Shen Ruo was really scared when he saw that his mother's hand was empty. Worried that she would continue to shop, she hurriedly saw the stitches, "Mom, I'm tired and hungry, let's go eat something and rest first." Then as he spoke, he dragged Mrs. Shen to the elevator.
Mrs. Shen couldn't help but despise her, "It's a car ride when you come and go, and you will shout tired after less than an hour of activity." How can it be done with such a lack of exercise. ”
"What am I doing as a pregnant woman?" Shen Ruochu rolled his eyes.
"Pregnant women also need to be active. When I was pregnant with your brother, it was eight months before I came down to rest. Your body is so weak that you don't have the physical strength to go back and give birth. You think it's so easy to have a baby! Caesarean section hurts the body......"
The mother and daughter just chattered and sighed and went upstairs.
Shen Ruochu had been to this restaurant before. The taste is really good, it is her favorite "Chinese taste" Western food. So when I was happy at the checkout, I was fooled by the waiter to get a gold card member, of course, the money was made by my brother. And that membership card finally came in handy for the first time today.
At this time, it is not yet time for dinner, and the consumption of this store is not low, so there are not many customers in the store at this time.
The mother and daughter chose a random position. As soon as I sat down, a waiter immediately delivered a recipe. The young and handsome young man is polite, and even the speed of speech is not fast or slow, quite standard.
Each dish has a simple process introduction with ingredients on the menu. Mrs. Shen didn't ask her daughter what she was eating, but chose a steak for herself, and after carefully choosing a staple food and dessert suitable for pregnant women, she returned the recipe to the waiter.
Shen Ruochu ate gruel in the morning, and drank a glass of hot milk when he went out. I didn't feel anything when I was shopping just now, but now I feel it again. After saying hello to Mrs. Shen, he got up and went to the bathroom, and when he came out and stood in front of the sink to wash his hands, he suddenly heard a familiar female voice behind him, with a little surprise and uncertainty, "Ruochu?" ”
She paused slightly in her handwashing. He raised his head in a daze, and the next moment he looked at the person behind him in the large mirror on the washstand.
"Jiang Xinyue?" Shen Ruochu's thin eyebrows frowned slightly, and then stretched. After turning off the faucet, he shook his hand before turning around and smiling politely at her, "What a coincidence." ”
Although the mustard and antipathy for her are still there. But since Jing Yan told her about Jiang Xinyue's experiences last time and that she had a nervous disorder, Shen Ruochu felt a little sympathy for her. Even when she met face-to-face at this moment, she didn't know what kind of attitude to use to face her.
"It's a coincidence." Jiang Xinyue's big wavy curly hair was not draped today, but tied up casually and rolled up in a bun at the back of her head. is a little less charming, but the person seems to be much more capable.
"You're coming to dinner too?" Shen Ruochu's smile was actually still a little stiff, although she had tried her best to make herself look natural. She can't do it, she just can't learn to tease her brother with a set of faces and a set of skills in her heart.
Jiang Xinyue never minded what kind of attitude Shen Ruochu used to face herself, "No. She smiled and shook her head, "I'm just here to borrow the bathroom." As she spoke, her eyes fell on her slightly bulging lower abdomen, and her expression paused, "You...... Are you pregnant? ”
"Hmm." Shen Ruochu nodded. It's almost June now, and her clothes are getting thinner and can't cover it, and she doesn't want to hide it.
Jiang Xinyue lost her mind for a moment after getting her answer, and then spoke softly, "How many months has the baby been?" ”
Shen Ruochu looked at her expression, and suddenly remembered that Jing Yan once said: Jiang Xinyue also had a child, but she couldn't keep it. Maybe it's because she is a woman, she can empathize with it somewhat. Or maybe it is because pregnant women are prone to sentimentality and sadness. Shen Ruochu sighed inaudibly, and his tone was much weaker and more polite than before, "It's been more than four months." ”
"More than four months...... That's nice. Her smile suddenly became a little ethereal, and when her eyes regained focus, she looked at her with a look of hope, "Can I touch it?" ”
Shen Ruochu didn't expect her to suddenly bring this up. She was stunned for a moment, and then a pimple twisted into her eyebrows. Sympathy is sympathy, and she can probably understand Jiang Xinyue's feelings at the moment. But that doesn't mean the relationship between the two will suddenly become so close. And, I don't know why. For this woman, she will always subconsciously be a little vigilant in her heart.
Jiang Xinyue also understood that she was unwilling. smiled apologetically, a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry, I was abrupt." After saying that, don't open your eyes and walk inside, "I'll go to the bathroom." ”
Shen Ruochu didn't react until he saw her back disappear before he walked away. A thoughtful look on his face.
When I returned to my position, the food was already on the table. Mrs. Shen gently stirred the soup with a spoon and asked casually, "Why have you been there for so long?" Upset stomach. ”
Shen Ruochu didn't speak, and it took a full four or five seconds before he said "oh", "I just met an acquaintance and chatted a few words." ”
Mrs. Shen stopped what she was doing, looked up at her daughter for a while, and looked suspiciously, "What acquaintances are talking about losing their souls." ”
"Nothing." Shen Ruochu smiled and shook her head, her own mother didn't know about Jiang Xinyue's existence, let alone the messy things she had made with Jing Yan in the past six months, of course she couldn't show traces at this moment, "I'm just a little tired." Mom, let's go back after dinner, we can't go shopping. ”
"Okay." Mrs. Shen nodded in agreement, and didn't force her to exercise more, "When the driver comes back with something, we'll go back." ”
Maybe it's the exhaustion of shopping. After returning home, Shen Ruochu slept for almost the whole afternoon. I woke up just half an hour before dinner. After washing up and going downstairs, Sister Sun told her, "My husband called back an hour ago and said that he would not come back for dinner." Come back later. Shen Ruochu nodded, not caring much. Go out and walk around the yard and wait for the meal to start.
Mrs. Shen originally planned to accompany her daughter after eating, and leave when Jing Yan came back. But Shen Ruochu was afraid that her mother would go back too late and not be able to rest, so she insisted on letting her leave.
Then Mrs. Shen left on her front foot for less than 10 minutes, and Jing Yan followed closely and returned home. There was a faint smell of wine on his body, which was not thick, but it still made her frown when it reached Shen Ruochu's nose.
Fear of affecting pregnant women. Jing Yan hurriedly took off her clothes, went to the bathroom to wash and brush her teeth, and when she came out, Shen Ruochu actually set up a notebook, her expression was focused, and her fingers flew.
He frowned, and although he disagreed, he didn't force a block, just carefully reminded: "You be careful of radiation." ”
Shen Ruochu didn't raise his head, "It'll be fine for a while." My brother got into a fight, and I helped hold up the field for two minutes. ”
Jing Yan let out an "um" and sat down beside her. After pondering for two seconds, he asked declaratively, "Did you meet Xinyue today?" ”
