Chapter 521: Chapter 414: Taking You to Another Place
In the living room, Shen Qingning held the express delivery, staring at the concert tickets inside, her eyes slightly drooped.
mories of the past began to surface in her mind.
The once eager anticipation for this year’s tour, excitent about attending the concert with him.
She wanted to hear Zhou Jielun sing “The Longest Movie” on stage.
Then, listen to him sing along from beside her, joining in with Zhou Jielun on stage.
However, tis have changed.
What had been the most anticipated event had beco an out-of-place gift.
Shen Minglang had been discussing Youu Tea with his sister, and was also sowhat surprised as he glanced at the tickets in her hand.
“What tickets are these?” He curiously got up and walked over for a look.
Shen Qingning, still lost in thought, only snapped back to reality when he approached.
Shen Minglang bent over, looked, and said, “Oh, Zhou Jielun, huh? A Shanghai concert?”
He was puzzled, “Ningning, I saw that Hang City is on the tour schedule for this year, so why not just wait and watch it when he cos to Hang City? Why bother going all the way to Shanghai?”
For people like them, there was no need to scramble for tickets. If push ca to shove, buying tickets at a premium price from scalpers for convenience was just fine.
Hearing this, Shen Qingning looked up and made eye contact with him.
Shen Minglang had already sensed sothing odd about Qingning’s expression, which seed surprise after opening the express delivery, so he ca over to check what the tickets were.
Now, as their eyes t, he felt sothing was definitely amiss.
“There’s a problem with these tickets!” He imdiately sensed it.
Shen Minglang might not be very bright, but he’s not a complete idiot either, rather a lovable fool.
“You look a bit odd,” he bluntly stated, his eyes filled with concern.
He guessed with a frown, “These tickets weren’t bought by you, were they?”
In this regard, he had experience from a young age. Because his sister had been exceedingly beautiful since she was little, she often received gifts from the opposite sex.
He had taken charge of returning gifts multiple tis, and during his school days, for so reasons, he even beat up a few stupid boys.
Seeing that Shen Qingning didn’t respond, he felt his guess must be right and imdiately added, “Sending over a ticket all of a sudden, and it’s even to go to a concert in another city, this guy’s definitely no good, you’re not allowed to go!”
Despite usually spoiling his sister, in tis like these, he still brought out his authority as a brother!
——”The flexible Shen Minglang”.
Shen Qingning lowered her head to glance at the ticket in her hand and said indifferently, “I won’t go.”
She was feeling terrible inside, utterly wretched.
She also didn’t believe that Cheng Zhu, now Lin Lu’s boyfriend, would have the audacity to invite her to a concert in Shanghai.
This abrupt manner of sending a ticket seed more like a forced fulfillnt of a past promise, repaying a small favor from before.
What used to be a romantic and ceremonial matter now seed rather heart-wrenching.
As proud as she was, she wouldn’t possibly go.
She even felt that Cheng Zhu was trying to sever past ties with her.
She found it unnecessary and rather uncomfortable.
For a mont, her heart was filled with a complex tangle of emotions.
In the end, she couldn’t help but tear the ticket to pieces.
Shen Minglang stood by, watching his sister as always, her dignified deanor and powerful aura unchanging, quipping from the side:
“Beautifully done~~~!”
He sat back down on the sofa and continued the prior conversation, feeling that was the pressing issue.
How much money would it even cost to invite soone to a concert, he thought angrily, Youu Tea is the real concern!
“Ningning, do you think Yue Tea will pose a threat to us?” Shen Minglang furrowed his brows.
“You’re asking the wrong person,” Shen Qingning stood up, then headed upstairs to her room.
She had no desire to communicate with anyone right now.
She just wanted to return to her room, lie down on her bed, and be quiet for a while.
Shen Minglang didn’t notice anything amiss.
Shen Qingning was like that, bothered by the actions of so boys, which she found annoying.
He thought this was Ningning’s norm.
At this mont, he only felt that Ningning saying he asked the wrong person was indeed correct.
Such matters, certainly Cheng Zhu would understand best, so he decided to give him a call and listen to his analysis.
“No, let’s do a video call!” Shen Minglang changed his mind.
He had beco highly engrossed in video conferencing, finding it made him look particularly invested in his work.
“Cousin, are you available now? If so, let’s have a video eting,” he sent the ssage via WeChat.
Quickly, Cheng Zhu sent back a video call.
“Why are you not taking a break today? Having a eting so early in the morning?” Cheng Zhu asked with a smile.
He was in his rental unit at the Xinhang Apartnt.
On his table was an express package he had just opened.
Inside was a ticket to a Zhou Jielun concert, adjacent to the one Shen Qingning had received.
Shen Minglang, looking at the relaxed and composed Cheng Zhu in the video, couldn’t help but wonder, “Cousin, have you not watched the news? That Shen City copycat of our Yue Tea has secured 100 million in funding! Valued at half a billion!”
“They might be slightly less than us, but they have Shendu Capital behind them! One of the top ten venture capital brands!”
Cheng Zhu, looking at the almost spitting Shen Minglang through the phone, simply uttered three words.
Short as they were, those three words conveyed an imposing deanor to Shen Minglang through the screen.
Cheng Zhu said:
