Chapter 801: Chapter 529: Meeting Shen Qingning’s Daddy (Part 2)
This time going to Ningning’s house, Cheng Zhu didn’t have to bring lavish gifts, just buying some fruit as a token was enough.
In a way, it’s Shen Guoqiang who should be grateful to the other side for their “support” of his child.
If he prepared lavish gifts and went over, it would make the other side unsure of how to respond.
At the moment, Cheng Zhu was at ease, while Shen Qingning was nervous to death.
She didn’t even know what she was nervous about; having a business partner over for dinner, what’s there to be nervous about?
But today she was a bit out of it, and her work efficiency was lower.
“It’s all Shen Minglang’s fault!” she cursed in her heart.
Your sister was bullied by him just days ago, and you still insist on inviting him over for dinner, what do you know?
Knows nothing, just causes chaos!
Originally, Jiang Wanzhou was also invited to the Shen family’s dinner today.
But as soon as he had a holiday, he couldn’t wait to go abroad to investigate the trend toy market.
So, he couldn’t come today, and promised he would next time.
Just as she was feeling a bit annoyed, there was a knock on her office door.
“Come in.” Shen Qingning straightened herself and said.
As a result, entering through the door was Cheng Zhu.
“Want to go together?” he asked as soon as he came in.
“Later, if you go now, the food isn’t ready yet.” Shen Qingning glanced at the time.
“No problem, I can hang out with Uncle Shen and have some tea.” He was really calm.
“Let’s go, it’s time to get off work, I see you’re not busy.” Cheng Zhu urged.
Ningning helplessly, got up and left the company with him shoulder to shoulder.
The employees in the company were somewhat used to this scene.
After reaching the parking lot, the two parted ways.
Shen Qingning drove her Land Rover home, while Cheng Zhu took the company car.
He might drink tonight, so he didn’t want to drive.
Shen family, kitchen.
The young stepmother Wang Yushan stayed in the kitchen, watching the housekeeper and her stepson Shen Minglang busy.
Shen Minglang was making a spicy hot pot and kept getting splashed with hot oil, hissing in pain. The housekeeper offered to do it, but he refused.
“Only knows how to create trouble.” Wang Yushan thought to herself.
She looked at the dishes prepared in the kitchen, thinking today’s family dinner was quite grand.
Shen Guoqiang had specially taken out two bottles of 15-year Moutai from the wine cellar and put them on the table. Later, thinking young people might not all like liquor, he added two bottles of Penfolds 707.
“With this kind of presentation, you’d think a son-in-law was visiting for the first time.”
“And it’s as if we’re marrying up…” she joked to herself.
Just then, her phone rang, it was a call from Shen Qingning.
“Hi Ningning.” She walked out as she found the kitchen too noisy.
“Auntie, Cheng Zhu and I are on our way home.” Ningning informed.
The young stepmother recalled that the first time she met Cheng Zhu was in Star City.
Back then, this young guy wanted to rent a spot in the mall and tried to go through her and Ningning.
How long has it been?
He’s now worth five billion!
“At that time, I even suspected Ningning’s relationship with him.” She smiled, thinking of herself as really nosy and sensitive.
“Who would have thought he’d be Little Lu’s boyfriend.” Wang Yushan found it quite interesting.
She walked to the tea room by the side of the living room and informed her husband sitting at the tea table: “Ningning called, she said Cheng Zhu is coming over with her.”
“Got it.” The middle-aged man nodded calmly.
The tea he brought out today was special.
He wouldn’t drink it at home unless there were important guests.
Ultimately, Ningning parked the car in the garage first. Instead of going upstairs, she waited for Cheng Zhu.
The four-seater company car soon arrived at the Shen family, this villa was both unfamiliar and familiar to Cheng Zhu.
He had been there several times but never entered.
“Who would’ve thought, visiting Little Lu’s and Ningning’s family, it’d be Ningning’s I came to first.” He hadn’t expected it initially.
After bringing the fruit inside, the young stepmother Wang Yushan immediately greeted him.
The middle-aged man, although not coming to the door to welcome, wasn’t sitting in the main chair in the tea room, but pretended to open the tea box, and then turned his head and said: “Little Cheng, you’re here.”
“Uncle.” Cheng Zhu promptly greeted him.
At 1.8 meters tall, Shen Guoqiang was considered tall for his generation in the south.
The average height of their generation was totally different from Cheng Zhu’s.
Ningning’s height owed something to him.
Moreover, despite the name of Shen Guoqiang having a vintage feel, he had a bit of an old handsome vibe.
Shen Minglang resembled him, but seemed to have inherited only the flaws, so he wasn’t exactly a handsome guy.
“Come, sit.” Shen Guoqiang pointed to the seat in front of him.
Shen Qingning was hesitant.
She didn’t know whether she should join them.
Logically speaking, she should be there with the guest.
Anyway, from the moment Cheng Zhu entered her home, she felt uncomfortable!
“Ningning, come here too.” Shen Guoqiang glanced at his daughter.
“Oh.” Shen Qingning responded.
But she didn’t sit next to Cheng Zhu.
The more Cheng Zhu saw her trying to avoid suspicion, the funnier he found it.
For him, this was part of the enjoyment of having dinner today.
“The food might take a while, let’s have some tea first.” Shen Guoqiang said.
