Shocking! The seemingly useless ex-wife is actually an all-around queen!

Chapter 126 The Stubborn Ninth Master Shen!

Old Master Jiang frowned slightly. "You're not unaware of your mistake; you're trying to curry favor with the Si and Shi families!"

After saying this, Grandpa Jiang turned and left.

Looking at Grandpa Jiang's retreating figure, no one knew how much He Suosuo regretted it.

She regrets it so much!

If she had known this would happen, she shouldn't have called Grandpa Jiang "old thing" that day!

She shouldn't have refused to acknowledge Grandpa Jiang.

Jiang Dongsheng and He Sufang were filled with regret, their faces contorted in a riot of colors, making them look particularly striking. Their lips trembled as they stared at Old Master Jiang's retreating figure, unable to utter a single word.

Grandpa Jiang walked up to everyone and said, "Grandma Ningning, Grandma Ningning, and Ningning's uncles, let's go."

“Okay.” Madam Shi and Madam Si nodded.

A group of people walked right past Jiang Dongsheng and his family of three.

He Sufang watched as everyone got into the four extended Lincoln limousines parked by the roadside, and regretted it so much that she wanted to bang her head against the wall and commit suicide!

If they had adopted Jiang Ning back then, the three of them would be sitting in that luxury car now.

But they just missed out on wealth and glory.

--

soon.

Four extended Lincoln limousines drove into the City Residence.

Looking at the dilapidated surroundings, Old Madam Shi and the Si family members all had expressions of heartache in their eyes.

The Si family's uncles were even more distressed.

At first, they were relieved to learn that Jiang Ning lived in a villa, but they were heartbroken when they learned that she had only recently moved in and that she had been living with Grandpa Jiang in a cheap rental apartment.

They had anticipated that the cheap rental property wouldn't be in great condition, but they didn't expect it to be this bad.

Their precious little princess, whom they cherished so dearly, was living in such a place.

Holding Jiang Ning's hand, Old Madam Shi cried, "Shengbao, my darling, you've suffered so much! You've suffered so much!"

Madam Si also shed tears.

“Grandma, Grandma, don’t cry,” Jiang Ning wiped away the tears of the two elderly people. “I’m not suffering at all. Although my grandfather and I were not well-off in the past, we lived a fulfilling life every day! And my grandfather was very good to me.”

Poverty is not a source of suffering; I simply live a peaceful life.

Jiang Ning is not afraid of hardship.

She fears encountering relatives like those from her past life.

fortunately.

Fortunately, this time it wasn't.

This time, she and her family went in both directions.

Seeing how sensible her granddaughter was, Old Madam Si was even more heartbroken. "My poor Shengbao, if your parents knew that you've been living like this all these years, they would be heartbroken!"

Although Madam Si's granddaughter hadn't had a good life outside all these years.

But seeing it with your own eyes is another matter entirely.

She was really sad.

Especially since their missing daughter, Si Huashang, has not yet been found.

Jiang Ning hugged Madam Si. "Grandma, don't cry. Things are moving in a positive direction now, and things will get better and better for us."

With a choked voice, Madam Shi said, "Elder sister, Sheng Bao is right. Things will get better and better for us in the future."

Shen Garden.

In the study room.

Shen Jingnian sat at his desk reading a book.

He held a book in one hand and a pen in the other, and when he came across something important, he would take notes.

Ding ding ding--

There was a knock on the door outside.

"Go in." Shen Jingnian didn't even look up.

Madam Shen came in carrying a fruit platter. "Jingnian, have some fruit."

"Mom, you can just put it there."

Madam Shen continued, "Still reading so late?"

"Hmm." Shen Jingnian nodded slightly. "Researching finance."

Madam Shen glanced at the book title. "A Walk on Wall Street? Are you sure you're studying finance and not reading a romance novel?"

They've already walked the Walk on Wall Street, and they're still involved in finance?

"Romance novels?" Shen Jingnian said dismissively, "Why would I read that kind of stuff?"

After saying that, Shen Jingnian calmly closed the book and handed it to Madam Shen, saying, "If you don't believe me, take a look and you'll see."

If you look closely, you can see a few beads of sweat on the tip of Shen Jingnian's nose.

Nervous.

after all.

This is just a copy of "A Random Walk Down Wall Street" in disguise.

Just as Madam Shen reached out her hand, about to take the book, she pulled it back. "What are you looking at? I'll just search the title online and I'll know what book it is."

Shen Jingnian secretly breathed a sigh of relief and put the book into the drawer.

Mrs. Shen opened Baidu and entered the words "Wall Street Walk" into the search bar.

soon.

I found the answer.

When Mrs. Shen saw that "A Random Walk Down Wall Street" was indeed a finance book, she said speechlessly, "How could a finance book have such a name!"

It’s weird.

Shen Jingnian continued, "Mom, what brings you here?"

"I want to ask how things are going between you and Ningning?" Old Madam Shen sat down in front of Shen Jingnian, resting her chin on her hands. "Jingnian, I really like Ningning, I really like her. I've already decided that she's going to be my daughter-in-law!"

"Oh." Shen Jingnian said indifferently.

"Oh what? I'm asking you! Are you pursuing Ningning?!"

"Mom," Shen Jingnian said lightly, seemingly not taking the matter to heart at all, "Don't play matchmaker. She and I are just ordinary friends."

"Do you know that you'll end up like a wife-chasing ghost if you keep doing this?!" Old Madam Shen was furious.

Shen Jingnian merely raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "Chasing after his wife?"

"Mom, you're overthinking it."

He would never pursue his wife.

Old Madam Shen ignored Shen Jingnian, her gaze shifting to a cooking book on her son's bookshelf. "The Complete Guide to Home-Style Recipes? Jingnian, didn't you say your office was your battlefield? Tsk tsk tsk, you've already contradicted yourself so quickly? Tell me, did you only learn to cook for Ningning?"

Madam Shen seemed to have discovered some truth, and her eyes lit up.

Shen Jingnian maintained a calm expression. "Which one are you referring to? That's Haotian's."

After saying that, Shen Jingnian picked up a document and slowly looked at it. "Mom, is this the first day you've met me? Why would I learn to cook for a girl?"

impossible.

Never!

Madam Shen rolled her eyes at him, turned around and left, taking the fruit platter that had just been brought over with her.

Shen Jingnian was about to eat a slice of watermelon when, unexpectedly, his elderly mother picked up a fruit platter and left. "Mom, didn't you come to bring me fruit?"

Old Madam Shen said angrily, "That old bachelor has no right to eat the fruit I personally brought him!"

Old bachelor!

So what if I'm single!

Why is the word "old" added?

Is he old?

He's clearly not even 30 yet!

Shen Jingnian was somewhat depressed.

hum.

Just then, my phone rang.

Shen Jingnian picked up his phone.

It's a WeChat notification.

Shen Jingnian glanced at the date on his phone. Today was the 25th, and tomorrow would be the 26th.

He had previously arranged to have dinner with Jiang Ning on the 26th.

and so.

The WeChat message was probably sent to him by Jiang Ning.

If Jiang Ning sends him a WeChat message now, it's definitely to talk about dinner.

Shen Jingnian immediately opened WeChat.

As expected, the WeChat message came from Jiang Ning. Shen Jingnian's lips curled up slightly, but the smile quickly disappeared when he saw the message.

The WeChat message read:

Sorry, we had planned to take you to a nice hole-in-the-wall restaurant tomorrow, but something came up. My family is going back to Beijing tomorrow, so we probably won't be able to come to City A before the New Year. Let's reschedule.

Going to the capital?

I'm not coming back before the New Year.

Shen Jingnian immediately replied to the message: [Ningning, what happened? Is there anything I can help you with?]

Nothing serious happened, my family just found me, so I'm going back with them.

The news about the Shi and Si families has been making headlines these past few days. Although he hadn't read it carefully, after seeing Jiang Ning's reply, he made a connection. Shen Jingnian raised an eyebrow slightly: "Congratulations to the Shi and Si families on bringing their little princess home!"
