Chapter 227: The Silly Shen Yanqing
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Nan Ge had stayed in school for a week because of the end-of-term exams after her birthday.
When winter break officially came, she stayed at Shen Yanqing’s place for two days before returning to Jiang City.
It was mainly because Nan Zhe had been urging her to go home.
It was understandable. She had basically not returned home much this semester.
It was mainly because of their previous argument about the will.
During the holidays, Nan Zhe was much more attentive to her than usual.
Nan Ge did not need to think to know why.
The siblings had sat down calmly to communicate the last time, so they got along as if nothing had happened.
However, this grudge had existed before, and no one could forget it in a short period of time.
This matter had a huge impact on Nan Zhe, so when the siblings were alone, his attitude was much better than before.
It was said that on New Year’s Day, Nan Zhe and his parents did not visit his grandmother. The three of them stayed at home to celebrate New Year’s Day. Even during the Spring Festival this year, they planned to stay at home for the new year and did not plan to go to the old residence.
Nan Ge was calm inside. She did not stop them or agree.
During the holidays, she took the time to drive to see her maternal grandmother and stayed for lunch.
At first, Grandma did not know about the incidents that had transpired for the Nan family.
It was Nan Zhe who mentioned it later, so when Nan Ge left, her grandmother specially sent her out and accompanied her for a long time. She also said a lot to her on the way.
Grandma didn’t blame anyone. She did not lecture Nan Ge, but she didn’t ask her to forgive anyone either.
She thought that her grandmother would say something to defend Nan Zhe, but unfortunately, she did not.
In fact, she usually came over to visit her grandmother with Nan Zhe.
Before getting into the car, her grandmother waved at her and told her to drive slowly and be careful.
After a few seconds of silence, Nan Ge stuck her head out. “Grandma, I’ll visit you with Brother next time.”
When Grandma heard this, she smiled. “Why do you have to bring him along? Just like today, you can come alone.”
She probably made it a habit over the years. Every time, she did not dare to go over without Nan Zhe accompanying her, so she was the same at her grandmother’s house.
She Imew what her grandmother meant.
There was no need to be so nervous when she came to her grandmother’s house. She could come alone.
However, she was more used to her brother being around.
She smiled at her grandmother. “No, I can’t. If I don’t bring him over next time, he will definitely make a fuss. We’ll come over together during the new year and play mahjong with you.”
“Okay, okay, okay.” Grandma knew that in Nan Ge’s heart, Nan Zhe was still very important.
“Oh, right. There’s also Shen Yanqing. He’ll be here for the New Year as well.
Grandma, remember to cook your best braised pork for him!”
“Also, you must remind Uncle that Shen Yanqing can’t drink. You can’t force him to drink when the time comes. If the elders want him to drink, he won’t be able to refuse.”
Grandma replied repeatedly, “Got it. I understand. Youyou, don’t worry. I will remember everything.”
It seemed that at her grandmother’s house, Nan Gels every word would be seriously noted down.
On the day she returned from her grandmother’s house, Nan Ge bought dinner for Nan Zhe on the way and sent it straight to his company.
As the new year was approaching, the company was busier.
Nan Zhe had been home very late for the past two days.
“What a rare guest.” Seeing her visit, Nan Zhe did not think that it was a good thing.
He knew that this girl had just returned from her grandmother’s place.
Looking at the packed dinner she put down, Nan Zhe was even more confused. He subconsciously asked, “What have you taken a fancy to recently?”
Logically speaking, that shouldn’t be the case. One of his cards was with Nan Ge. It was her freedom to buy anything.
“No.” Nan Ge had no intention of leaving immediately. She pulled out a chair and sat opposite him. Her sitting posture was domineering. She did not look like she was here to chat. Instead, she looked like she was negotiating.
Seeing her posture, Nan Zhe could not help but sit up straight and look at her with all his attention.
“What happened?”
“I want to talk to you again.”
It was too rushed last time, and Nan Zhe was talking to himself most of the time.
“It’s still about the previous incident.” Nan Zhe knew very well what she was talking about and she did not need to point it out.
“Go on.”
“You don’t have to be careful to please me. We’re siblings and family. No matter what, it will be like this. No one can change it. We won’t become enemies. Not before and not ever.”
“I’m not an insensible child. I can tell good from bad.”
“I admit I shouldn’t have had a cold war with you and Mom and Dad.” “That’s indeed wrong. I was being willful.”
“You’re not at fault in this matter. You and Mom and Dad have done a lot for me.”
After a pause, she sighed.
“Enough. At this time, we shouldn’t dwell on right and wrong. I just want to say that you’re my brother and the closest person to me other than Mom and Dad. This will never change.” “Brother, don’t be sad.”
“We should let it go together.”
However, their “bet” was still valid. Nan Ge was still full of confidence. She was no longer like a headless fly. She already had many plans for the future.
The next morning, Nan Ge drove to Huasheng Group.
Shen Yanqing was not around. He seemed to have brought Assistant Yuan and his secretary for an appointment and would only be back in the afternoon.
Since Nan Ge had nothing to do, she decided to help out in the president’s office.
During this period, she learned from Miaomiao the final price of her pigeon blood ruby necklace.
After her birthday, she asked her friends in the industry, but she was unable to get an answer. She asked Shen Yanqing, but he did not tell her.
Every time, he would say that it was not very expensive.
Even though she had a number in her heart, she was still stunned when she heard the final price.
“No way.” It was more than forty million higher than she had expected.
Miaomiao sighed and whispered, “I heard that during the auction, a foreign royalty also took a fancy to this necklace and was determined to get it. Therefore, both parties kept bidding and refused to let go.”
“What happened in the end?” Nan Ge asked impatiently.
“President Shen asked a friend from overseas to buy it at the auction. It was said that both sides were in a deadlock at that time. After a few rounds, President Shen’s friend had no choice but to use his connections to successfully settle the matter. Otherwise… it’s hard to say.”
Nan Ge took a deep breath and asked about the diamond ring the size of a pigeon egg.
The transaction price was also a little higher than she had imagined.
After hearing this, Nan Ge felt that Shen Yanqing had done something silly.
Miaomiao poked her shoulder and smiled. “Come on. Aren’t you happy? President Shen is very good to you. He will definitely give it to you once he has set his mind on it.”
Nan Ge could not help but laugh. She was indeed a little smug.
It was not because of the price.
It was because Shen Yanqing valued her.
As they chatted, Nan Ge learned another secret.
It was said that on the night of the proposal, when Shen Yanqing was waiting outside, his hands were trembling from nervousness..
