Noticing sothing unusual about Lu Zhenping, Shen ng gave an "Hmm." The latter patted her shoulder and leaned over to whisper in her ear after sitting down, "Just now, I think I saw Yuan Niannian and Yuan Zhi. I don't know why, but it felt a bit strange."
Shen ng looked around but didn't see them. However, considering they are siblings watching a movie together, it didn't seem like a big deal.
"Don't worry about them; the Yuan family has nothing to do with us. Let's watch our movie. But if you want to ddle because of Bai Shuyu, I won't stop you."
"Not really, I'm not that crazy. I just seed to see Yuan Niannian putting sothing in the soda. From my years of being in the police, she's probably up to sothing bad."
Lu Zhenping is in the police, but he's also a cop of this era, and he couldn't conjure up any ridiculous stories. But Shen ng is different; she was brainwashed by lodramas when she was young, with one storyline after another jumping into her mind.
"How about this, while watching the movie, keep an eye on any commotion. If you see a couple leaving, follow them out. There's a phone booth outside the cinema. Bai Yan said this afternoon he's not going out tonight. If you see Yuan Niannian and them coming back, give Bai Yan a call. If we manage this much, consider it returning the kindness to Bai Shuyu for bringing you into this world."
It's doing a good deed, after all.
Although Shen ng didn't want to interact with the Yuan family, she also didn't want to see Yuan Niannian having an easy life. Giving them sothing to deal with is not too bad. Anyway, with Bai Yan inford, whether they can help themselves depends on them.
Sure enough, halfway through the movie, Lu Zhenping quietly slipped out. A half-hour later, he returned when the movie was already over. Shen ng sat on a bench at the cinema entrance sipping soda.
"Why did it take you so long to co back?"
In just this short while, seven or eight small vendors quietly approached her to sell sunflower seeds and peanuts. They were all elderly, trembling and looking quite pitiful. Her bag was about to be stuffed full.
"It did take so effort. Bai Yan didn't co alone but brought along a few cousins of Bai Shan. They dragged up as soon as they ca and made guide the way. I thought you'd want to know, so I went up. Wow, wife, you wouldn't believe it! After I took them up, Bai Yan kicked open the door of the guesthouse. You should've seen it. Yuan Niannian was undressing Yuan Zhi, naked except for underwear! Bai Shan rushed in and started beating Yuan Niannian. With such a commotion, Yuan Zhi didn't wake, didn't get dressed, and was sent straight to the hospital. Seeing it had nothing to do with , I hurried back."
"Wow~~, tsk tsk tsk, how exciting! No wonder Yuan Niannian is so audacious to co up with such a plan. But why target Yuan Zhi? Among the Yuan brothers, isn't Yuan Siping the one she's closest to?"
Lu Zhenping took her hand and continued walking towards the car, grabbing her bag along the way.
"Why else? Among Yuan family's people, Yuan Zhi is the most capable. So young and already the deputy director of the Material Bureau. Yuan Siping is pampered at ho, but he's just a troublemaker. After so many years, he can't compare to his older brother. Any clear-headed person wouldn't leave Yuan Zhi for Yuan Siping."
"Hmm, then there will be excitent in the Yuan family. Whether they admit it or not, they owe us a favor. If Yuan Zhi does well in the future, we might be able to use it."
Lu Zhenping nodded. He didn't know what Shen ng wanted to do, but since she wanted to, he was willing to go along. Ever since she went to college, he found Shen ng becoming brighter and smarter. Sotis, he couldn't help wanting to keep her at ho, hidden from others.
But he couldn't, or Shen ng would hamr him.
"Co on, let's go back to the guesthouse. Tomorrow, we'll visit Uncle's house, then it's ti to head back. Although this trip to Shangjing didn't completely et expectations, it's not without gains. Originally, I wanted to achieve sothing great, but seeing the conservative policies from above, I think it's better to feel out the path step by step."
Previously, Shen ng had thought about starting a company and doing sothing grand.
But during her ti in Shangjing, she studied various policies. So loosening policies in Ning County were aid at state-owned factories. If it cos to private enterprises, the policies won't be as favorable even if they are relaxed later, not following her ideas as before.
Next day.
Lu Zhenping and Shen ng bought so things and headed to Commander Bai's house. Bai Yan had ntioned they were coming today, so when they arrived, most of the family had left.
The kitchen was busy and bustling.
Mou Feng quickly pulled Shen ng into the living room to sit. Aunt Juan heard the door closing and brought out four fruit plates from the kitchen.
"Have so fruit, all freshly bought this morning. We also got roast duck today, and Bai Yan went to buy your favorite braised dishes. He'll be back soon. Oh, and I made a few dishes Xiao ng liked last ti. Eat a lot at lunch!"
"Ah, thank you, Aunt Juan."
"No need to thank . The madam ordered it. Oh, she was so happy knowing you were coming, smiling all morning. She even bought so flowers this morning. Look, aren't they pretty?"
Mou Feng genuinely liked Shen ng and Lu Zhenping. She genuinely felt sorry for Lu Zhenping, knowing how tough his childhood was. She knew about his real father, who later had more children. For a motherless child like Lu Zhenping, what good can he have?
"In the army, Zhenping loved braised pork. So, we made it today, just like what the army prepares. You'll love it."
"Thank you, Aunt."
"Why are you being so polite? Speaking of which, it's a good thing you gave us a heads-up last night, or who knows what embarrassing situations would have unfolded!"
Lu Zhenping and Shen ng exchanged a glance, remained silent, and mutually took a sip of their tea, while Mou Feng realized she had misspoken.
Even the younger ones needed to save face. Such disgraceful incidents may be appropriate to discuss with her husband but shouldn't be discussed with the younger generation. It would be improper and disrespectful.
"Hehe, don't just drink tea; have so fruit too. We got them specifically for you two!"
"Ah, alright, Aunt."
Just then, Bai Shan angrily returned ho, and with a "bang," closing the door, startled the people in the living room.
