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

Chapter 29 Old Mrs. Shen's Dream Daughter-in-Law!

Passenger seat?

Why did he go to the passenger seat?

Yun Haotian looked completely bewildered.

Seeing that he didn't react for a long time, Shen Jingnian frowned slightly, "Are you deaf?"

Yun Haotian immediately opened the right-hand car door. "Okay, coming right away."

Shen Jingnian also opened the car door next to him, leaned out of the car, and said, "Miss Jiang."

Miss Jiang!

Upon hearing this, Yun Haotian paused and immediately turned around, where he indeed saw Jiang Ning's back.

"Father Jiang!"

It was almost blurted out.

Jiang Ning glanced back slightly, revealing her beautiful face beneath the brim of her hat. "Mr. Shen, Mr. Yun, what a coincidence."

Shen Jingnian parted his thin lips slightly, "It is quite a coincidence. Where is Miss Jiang headed?"

"go home."

Shen Jingnian nodded slightly. "The sun is so strong. If you don't mind, I'll have the driver give you a ride."

Yun Haotian: ? ? ?

Should we take Jiang Ning home?

Has my uncle forgotten his own rules?

And...going along the same route?

Jiang Ning's family and Shen's family are clearly in two different directions!

Moreover, Xu Ruoying was almost in tears just now, and Shen Jingnian still didn't agree to give her a ride home!

Most importantly, the Xu family and the Shen family are truly on the same path.

But Shen Jingnian didn't even glance at Xu Ruoying.

If Xu Ruoying saw this scene, she would definitely be furious, right?

Jiang Ning glanced at the intense sunlight overhead. "Is it convenient?"

“It’s convenient,” Shen Jingnian said lightly, “We don’t have anything urgent to attend to.”

"Then I'll have to trouble you." Jiang Ning said softly.

Shen Jingnian opened the back door of the car. "Please."

Yun Haotian's gaze fell on Shen Jingnian's hand resting on the car door, his expression complex.

Could it be...

My uncle suddenly asked me to move to the passenger seat just to make room for my father.

!!!

What the hell!

What the hell!

My uncle is trying to seduce a young woman.

Has the cycad flowered?

Ahhh! ! !

No wonder, no wonder things that weren't going in the same direction have become going in the same direction.

No wonder my uncle forgot his manners when he saw Jiang Ning!

It turns out he didn't dislike sitting in the same carriage with women; he just hadn't found the right person yet!

Upon realizing this, Yun Haotian's expression instantly became incredibly interesting.

inside the carriage.

Jiang Ning and Shen Jingnian sat side by side.

The two stood at a distance that was neither too close nor too far, and Shen Jingnian's nose was filled with the faint scent of bamboo emanating from her.

It smells good.

It smells so much better than synthetic perfumes.

Perhaps worried that Jiang Ning might feel uncomfortable, Shen Jingnian opened the car refrigerator door, "There's water and coffee here, Miss Jiang, please help yourself to whatever you like, don't be shy."

The car refrigerator is quite large.

But there are only two kinds of drinks inside.

Water and Americano.

Just like the rigid and inflexible old cadre, Shen Jingnian.

"Thank you," Jiang Ning politely declined, "I'm not thirsty."

Shen Jingnian closed the refrigerator door.

About twenty minutes later, the car arrived at the residential area where Jiang Ning lived.

She pushed the door and got out.

"Thank you, Mr. Shen, for bringing me back today."

"You're welcome. Miss Jiang is my savior."

Jiang Ning smiled slightly, "It's only right that I save someone's life since you paid for it. It's not a matter of gratitude. I'll treat you to a meal sometime."

"Okay." Shen Jingnian nodded slightly. After speaking, he took out his phone and opened the QR code to add a friend. "Let's add each other on WeChat. I'm free anytime."

Jiang Ning: ? ? ?

She was just being polite.

This person is really too informal!

Yun Haotian was utterly astonished.

He had only suspected that his uncle was interested in Jiang's father.

It's practically confirmed now!

Tsk tsk tsk!

The flowering of a cycad is truly something else!

Just a few days ago, Shen Jingnian said he wasn't envious that he had added Jiang Ning on WeChat.

But now?

His aloof and otherworldly uncle actually took the initiative to ask Jiang Ning for her WeChat.

You should know that Xu Ruoying had been pursuing Shen Jingnian for almost twenty years, but she still couldn't get his WeChat!

Jiang Ning took out her phone and scanned Shen Jingnian's QR code.

drop.

Friend added successfully.

Shen Jingnian not only has a cold and aloof demeanor that keeps strangers at bay, but even his WeChat name and profile picture exude a strong sense of asceticism and old-fashioned cadre style.

His WeChat name is his real name.

The profile picture is the logo of the Shen Group.

Jiang Ning didn't even bother with a note, turned off her phone, and put her hat back on her head. "Then I'll head back now."

"Okay." Shen Jingnian nodded slightly and turned to walk into the car.

inside the carriage.

Yun Haotian remained seated in the passenger seat, looking back at Shen Jingnian as if he had thorns in his backside, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

Shen Jingnian ignored him and picked up the newspaper he hadn't finished reading and continued reading.

Another ten minutes or so passed.

Yun Haotian couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "Uncle, do you like Father Jiang?"

"No." Shen Jingnian didn't even look up, his gaze fixed on the newspaper.

"Then why did you offer to drive Father Jiang back? What happened to your rules? Don't you dislike riding in the same car with someone of the opposite sex?"

When facing Xu Ruoying, he kept talking about rules and regulations.

The moment they saw Father Jiang, they lost all manners and principles.

They even proactively asked for my WeChat.

"She is different from others."

different?

Yun Haotian laughed and said, "See, Uncle? You've personally admitted that Father Jiang is different from others. He's different, so you still like him, don't you? Uncle, stop being hypocritical!"

“She is my savior.” Shen Jingnian said calmly, “So to me, she is different from others.”

Yun Haotian narrowed his eyes. "That's all?"

"Otherwise what?" Shen Jingnian turned a page of the book in his hand. "Do you think everyone is like you, with a love-struck mind?"

Yun Haotian was somewhat unconvinced. "Grandma said that everyone in our family is a bit love-struck, regardless of gender. When you start dating, you might be even more love-struck than me."

"Wishful thinking," Shen Jingnian scoffed. "I only have a business mind, not a romantic one!"

Yun Haotian snorted, "Uncle, speaking too soon can easily backfire!"

"Overturned?" Shen Jingnian turned a page of the newspaper in his hand. "Those two words don't exist in my dictionary."

Whether in school or in business, Shen Jingnian has never experienced a setback.

Only those who lack self-control worry about crashing.

Yun Haotian turned to look at Shen Jingnian, "Uncle, then I'll be waiting for you to crash and burn!"

After saying that, Yun Haotian's gaze fell on the car refrigerator, and he couldn't help but say, "Uncle, the drinks in the fridge need to be updated. Girls all like soft drinks, milk tea, and cola. Who's going to drink all that iced Americano that's more bitter than Chinese medicine? Just between you and me, Miss Jiang's favorite drink is cola!"

Yun Haotian discovered this by observing her WeChat Moments a while ago. She had updated her Moments with pictures of herself eating twice, and each time there was a Coke next to her.

Shen Jingnian said calmly, "What does it matter to me what she likes to drink? I'm not her suitor!"

Yun Haotian shrugged. "Whatever you want, I'm just offering a suggestion."

About thirty minutes later.

The car stopped in front of a solemn and grand ancient building.

The plaque above the main gate has two characters written in regular script.

Shen Garden.

This is the city center of City A, where land is incredibly valuable, yet Shen Garden occupies more than 80 acres of land. It features pavilions, terraces, rockeries, and flowing water, making it a genuine private 5A scenic spot. Because the matriarch of the Shen family enjoys a lively atmosphere, nearly half of Shen Garden is open to the public.

But Shen Jingnian preferred quiet, so he moved out after he came of age. Except for holidays, he would come back about once a month to have a meal with his grandmother.

Today is the day that Madam Shen is discharged from the hospital and returns home.

In the hall.

Upon hearing that Shen Jingnian had just survived a life-threatening ordeal, which greatly frightened Old Madam Shen, she immediately grabbed Shen Jingshu's hand, "Jingshu, such a serious incident happened, why didn't you tell me? Where is Jingnian now? Is he really alright?"

“It’s really alright now. I just sent Haotian a WeChat message, and he said they’re on their way back. Mom, you don’t need to worry.”

Although Shen Jingshu had said that her younger brother was fine, Old Madam Shen was still a little worried.

In fact, old people are not afraid of getting sick.

What I fear most is that something will happen to my children.

Only when Shen Jingnian's figure appeared before her eyes did Old Madam Shen breathe a sigh of relief. She jogged over to Shen Jingnian, took his hand, and said, "Jingnian, I heard from your sister that you were not feeling well a couple of days ago and even invited a traditional Chinese medicine doctor for acupuncture. Are you feeling better now?"

"It's alright, Mom. I'm perfectly fine now."

Grandma Shen held her son's hand, looking him up and down, left and right, very carefully. "Are you really alright?"

"It's really alright now."

"Then run a couple of steps."

"Take a few steps?" Shen Jingnian asked, puzzled.

Madam Shen continued, "It's alright, run a few steps, run a few steps so I can take a look."

Shen Jingnian: "..."

After repeatedly confirming that her son was truly alright, Old Madam Shen finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Shen Jing Shu, saying, "Jing Shu, if anything happens to your brother in the future, you mustn't hide it from me!"

"Okay." Shen Jingshu said with a smile, "Don't worry, Jingnian has survived this ordeal, he's bound to have good fortune in the future, and his life will definitely be smooth sailing from now on."

Madam Shen nodded, "You're right. A person who survives a great calamity is bound to have good fortune in the future. From now on, our Tian Tian will definitely have a stable and smooth life."

Sweet?

Yun Haotian looked puzzled. "Who is Tiantian?"

Shen Jingnian glanced at Xiang Yunhaotian and said, "There's a video conference in twenty minutes. Come with me to the study."

After saying that, he walked towards the study.

Yun Haotian immediately followed Shen Jingnian's footsteps, "Uncle, who is Tiantian?"

Shen Jingnian parted his thin lips slightly, "How's the project proposal for the south of the city coming along?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Haotian didn't ask who Tiantian was. He immediately got into work mode, took out his phone, and said, "It's almost finished. I'll have Secretary Li send it over."

"Hmm." Shen Jingnian nodded slightly, then asked, "Has Jidong Games sent over any bidding proposals?"

"Not yet." Yun Haotian shook his head. "Uncle, don't wait for Jidong Games. Xie Huaijin from their company has been poached by Cheng Zijun. It's uncertain whether they can even save the company now, let alone submit a bidding proposal."

Shen Jingnian's expression hardened slightly, but he remained silent.

Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Old Madam Shen sighed softly, "That child, he went to work as soon as he recovered! He didn't even know to rest for a while longer."

Shen Jingshu smiled and said, "You know perfectly well that our family's Jingnian is a well-known workaholic."

At this point, Shen Jingshu paused, then continued, "Mom, the reason Jingnian was able to recover so quickly is all thanks to Miss Jiang. Although Miss Jiang is young, she is even more capable than Xu Zhiming from the First Hospital. If it weren't for her, Jingnian would probably be in real danger right now."

"Then we must thank them properly," said Madam Shen.

Shen Jingshu nodded. "I've already given Miss Jiang a card, but how can this life-saving grace be measured in money? Mom, I think Miss Jiang is top-notch in both looks and temperament. Don't you think Jingnian should repay her with his body?"

Shen Jingshu really liked Jiang Ning, which is why she mentioned it to her mother.

In the past, upon hearing these words, Old Madam Shen would have been very curious about the legendary Miss Jiang and would have even helped her daughter to matchmake her son with Miss Jiang. But now, Old Madam Shen already had a better candidate in mind, so she smiled and said, "Girls who study medicine are bound to be a bit reserved. Our family has always been a quiet person; you can't get a word out of him even if you beat him ten times. If you ask me, we should find him a talkative young lady. By the way, I met a young lady during my hospital stay. Her looks, her figure, her intelligence, her vision—tsk tsk tsk, she's practically my dream wife!"

"You ran into her at the hospital?" Shen Jingshu frowned slightly. "There are too many gold diggers these days. You might have encountered someone with ulterior motives."

Shen Jingshu suspected that her mother was staying in a high-end VIP ward, and that the other party must have realized that her mother had an extraordinary background, so they deliberately put on a show in front of her.
