The main purpose of coming to City A has been achieved. Zhao Chengning will go to City B after staying for two more days. When Mr. Zhao and Father Zhao heard that the Shen family agreed that they should get engaged first, they both happily patted Zhao Chengning on the shoulder. Only Mother Zhao pouted unhappily and muttered to herself. What exactly did she say? No one heard.
After the beginning of spring, the weather became warmer day by day. Shen Jingchen officially started her internship life, moved out of the small villa, and came to City B alone.
On the day he arrived in City B, Zhao Chengning took a group of his brothers to pick him up at the airport, and then had a meal together.
So that day, the younger generation of second-generation ancestors all knew that the untouchable Zhao Chengning had a brother-in-law from City B.
Shen Jingping asked about this matter when she and Zhao Chengning were on the phone in the evening. Zhao Chengning smiled and explained to her why he, who had always been low-key, acted in such a high-profile manner this time.
The circle of wealthy people in City B is very exclusive. After all, the brother and sister had only stayed here for a short time before, and they had never thought about breaking into the upper class society in City B. The only people they came into contact with were Zhao Chengning's friends, so they didn't feel anything. But Shen Jingchen came here this time to obviously stay in City B from now on. In order to let those second-generation ancestors who claim to be nobler than others know that this "newcomer" is not someone they can just suppress and bully, he must do this. .
It can be said that the Shen family is very powerful and not afraid, but in the end, water far away cannot save the fire nearby, and a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. Father Shen and Mother Shen can't reach out to the B city circle, so not many people are actually wary of his status as a member of the Shen family.
But it's different now that Shen Jingchen is openly and openly associated with the Zhao family. Anyone who wants to embarrass him must consider whether they can fight against Zhao Chengning's backing before acting.
Shen Jingbin was very touched that her boyfriend cared about her family so much that she wished she could fly over and give him a kiss right away.
After discussion, the parents of the two families chose April 15th as the day for the engagement. It is said that that day is a good day that only happens once in a century, and is the most suitable day for an engagement and marriage.
According to custom, the engagement ceremony of the two people was held at the woman's home in City A. Because both parties were well-known people, the engagement ceremony was quite grand. The people attending the engagement banquet were either rich or noble. It can be said that they were the richest people in City A and City B. The group of people with status are all there.
As for friends, Shen Jingbin only invited the three girls in the dormitory, and Zhao Chengning only invited Xia Qihui and Xu Ya. Jiang Weiwei was clamoring to come, but unfortunately she was cruelly rejected.
At the engagement banquet, when the two parties exchanged engagement rings, Huamuan and Xiao He hugged Jiang Meng and cried until their makeup was stained. Those who didn't know thought that these two girls had a crush on Zhao Chengning. After asking later, I found out that these were two single dogs who were stimulated and were grieving for their sad and lonely lives.
After the engagement is over, the man cannot stay at the woman's house. It is best to go back to his own home. Unfortunately, Zhao Chengning is not in City A, so he can only secretly return to the hotel as soon as the engagement party is over.
The dignitaries were always busier than the other. After the banquet, they all left and went back to their homes. However, a few juniors stayed behind, apparently wanting to get crazy together again.
Shen Jingbin looked at the extra engagement ring on her hand, and felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction and happiness in her heart. She took out her mobile phone, and for the first time she took the initiative to send a Weibo message, along with the words He took a photo of himself wearing a ring.
She used Weibo, which was later added to the real-name authentication at Ke Yuan's suggestion. Although it had only been opened for a short time and had only forwarded a few news, the number of fans was staggering.
With more than 9 million fans, she has almost caught up with the number of fans of first-line female artists.
"Shen Jingbin: Congratulations to myself [picture]."
The number of comments and retweets on Weibo started to skyrocket as soon as I posted it. At first, I was surprised that she finally posted on Weibo instead of retweeting the news. Later, I started lamenting that the Howling Goddess was engaged and that I was heartbroken. .
Zhao Chengning was drinking tea and chatting with Xia Qihui, Xu Ya and Shen Jingchen. When he heard his cell phone ringing, he took it out and found that it was his newly appointed fiancée who had posted on Weibo. When he opened it, he saw the hand with the ring.
Her hands are beautiful, fair and slender, with sharp knuckles. The silver ring is set on her middle finger, shining happily in the camera.
After smiling, he retweeted it and attached a photo of himself wearing the ring.
"Zhao Chengning: Well, congratulations to myself too [picture]//@陈静玢: Congratulations to myself [picture]"
This forwarding immediately made many netizens burst into tears. Zhao Chengning flipped through a few comments and turned off his phone with a smile.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, look at me, Brother Aning, this smile is so ecstatic." Xu Ya, who was secretly paying attention to Zhao Chengning's movements, became uneasy when he saw his smile.
Zhao Chengning glared at him, "Can it compare to your ecstasy?"
Xia Qihui smiled and said: "Xu Ya, your brother Aning has finally seen the hope of a better life. If you laugh at him like this, be careful that he gets angry with you."
Xu Ya pouted: "Hey, why did you start teasing me?"
"Didn't you find this yourself?"
"No way!"
Shen Jingchen did not make jokes with them like before, but looked at Zhao Chengning with a serious look, and then said: "Aning, come out for a moment, and I will say a few words to you."
Zhao Chengning responded and followed him out. Xia Qihui and Xu Ya looked at each other, and Xu Ya asked with his mouth: "Brother Chen, what are you doing?"
Xia Qihui took a sip of tea and shrugged, "I don't know either."
“…”
After Zhao Chengning and Shen Jingchen came out, they saw Shen Jingchen staring at them for a while before speaking.
"Aning, you are sure to become my brother-in-law this time."
"Heh, I thought you had this realization a long time ago."
Shen Jingchen sighed, "Although I thought you two should be able to achieve success in the past, it was just a thought. Today I saw you two exchanging engagement rings and it suddenly felt real, and I felt empty... I am just a sister, although I The two of us are always bickering, but... Even I don't know how I feel in my heart right now. It's just weird. It doesn't matter if I call you out. I just want to say that this girl looks good-tempered but is actually not good at all. From now on, you guys You two are married, please be more accommodating to her. Sometimes she may hit someone when she gets angry, but it's gentle, just like a cat scratching her. Don't resist... Hey, why do I feel like I just told my ex-boyfriend to give my girlfriend a hard time? Like your current boyfriend?"
Seeing his tangled look, Zhao Chengning burst out laughing. He patted his shoulder comfortingly, "Don't worry, I know what you want to say. I won't say much else, just... I guarantee you that I won’t let her be wronged.”
"No, I think you are the only one who should be wronged, but...hey, what on earth do I want to say."
Zhao Chengning just smiled and watched Shen Jingchen mutter like a stray cat.
In fact, he could understand where his impatience came from. After all, she is her biological sister who grew up with her. Now she is engaged as soon as she says she is engaged. It will not be long before she may leave with another man. Then, whether she is eating, playing games or watching movies, the one who will accompany her is the one who will accompany her. The man instead of his own. It cannot be said that it is a sister complex, it is just a feeling of loss and unaccustomedness. If he had a sister whom he loved very much and was getting engaged to another man, his reaction would not be much better than Shen Jingchen's.
That beautiful girl suddenly appeared in my mind, and then I fantasized about whether she would look like this if she was a bastard
As I thought about it, a warm feeling arose in my heart.
Unlike Zhao Chengning, after posting on Weibo, Shen's mother came to find Shen Jingbin.
Mother and daughter have a very good relationship but rarely talk to each other, firstly because Shen's mother has no time, and secondly because of their personalities.
Shen Jingbin was a little surprised by her mother's appearance.
"Mom." She stood up and called.
"Sit down, I'm here to talk to you." Shen's mother sat next to her and said.
Shen Jingping sat down obediently.
"How do you feel about today's engagement?" Mother Shen has always been a straight forward person, speaking concisely and clearly, never beating around the bush.
"I'm very happy." Shen Jingbin's answer was equally unpretentious.
Mother Shen stared at the expression on her face for a few seconds. After confirming that she was not pretending, she added, "I haven't asked yet, how far are you and Zhao Chengning in dating?"
Shen Jingbin was stunned, frowned and answered honestly: "We haven't reached the last step yet."
There was still no expression on Mother Shen's delicate face, and she didn't know whether she was satisfied or dissatisfied with the answer, "Zhao Chengning is twenty-six-seven, and I am still responsible for you if I can bear it. I came here today to tell you, You are engaged now, and we also see what he thinks of you. If you can't help it one day, that's fine. You don't need to suppress it deliberately, but I hope you will pay attention to propriety. I don't want to see you get pregnant before graduation."
"I know."
"At first, I thought it was too early for you to be engaged or married, but then I saw how determined he was, and suddenly I didn't want to be such a bad person. The path you choose is yours, no matter what it will be like in the future. , even if you kneel down, you have to finish it for me, this is the courage that our Shen family children should have, you know?"
"Um."
"Do you want to go play together tonight? Your grandpa asked me to tell you that no matter how late you play, you must come home to stay tonight, otherwise it will be unlucky. The older generation believes this, so you have to decide what to do."
"Um."
"Okay then, I won't talk nonsense to you anymore. I can't play the role of a close mother, so I'm leaving."
"Mom." Shen Jingping suddenly called Mother Shen who was about to walk out of the room. Mother Shen looked back at her.
"how?"
"It's nothing, I just want to say, thank you, I love you and dad too."
A faint smile appeared on Shen Mugou's lips, "You should tell your dad this, he will be very happy to hear it."
"He will be happier if you convey it."
Seeing her sly smile, Mother Shen glared at her and went out.
Shen Jingping suddenly lay down on the bed, raised her hand and looked at the ring on her hand. The ring was shining beautifully in the eyes outside the window.
She reached out and touched it. The ring was cold, but it felt warm in her heart.
