Shocking! The seemingly useless ex-wife is actually an all-around queen!

Chapter 398: Shen Jingnian learns the truth! The clown was actually himself!

Wu Zhouyuan originally thought that if he offered three times the price, Old Master Jiang would definitely agree to sell the land.

did not expect.

Even three times the amount is not enough!

What the hell is that old man up to?

Are you trying to extort money from me?

Want ten times or a hundred times the return?

That's incredibly unseemly!

A moment.

Wu Zhouyuan returned to the company.

Chairman Liu stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, smoking a cigar, his back to Wu Zhouyuan.

After listening to Wu Zhouyuan's report, Chairman Liu turned around, put his cigar in his hand, and said with some surprise, "Not even three times? How much money does he want?"

three days ago.

The Liu Group sold a piece of land.

It was just a piece of wasteland and not worth much money, so Liu Qiang didn't take it to heart.

Recently, Liu Qiang learned by chance that the higher authorities planned to build the largest high-speed rail station in City A near the wasteland.

Once this high-speed rail station is built, their land will become valuable.

and so.

Liu Qiang plans to take back the land from Grandpa Jiang and then build an SKP next to the high-speed rail station!

But to Liu Qiang's surprise, Grandpa Jiang refused to sell the land.

At first.

Grandpa Jiang spent 100 million yuan to buy the land.

Three times the price is 300 million.

The old man is far too greedy to have made 200 million in just a few days and refuse to sell.

Wu Zhouyuan shook his head. "I don't know exactly how much he wants, but I think that old man is asking for an exorbitant amount."

"A lion opening its mouth wide?" Liu Qiang frowned slightly. "Could it be that the old man knows something?"

Once the official document for building the high-speed rail is officially issued.

The price of that wasteland will rise accordingly.

Let alone 300 million.

Even 3000 million probably wouldn't be enough to buy it.

This is why Liu Qiang was in such a hurry to buy the land back.

Wu Zhouyuan narrowed his eyes. "I don't think so! How could the news from above come down so quickly? I think that old man just thinks we're in a hurry to buy the land back, so he's trying to swindle us out of money."

This is the typical behavior of an ordinary, down-to-earth person!

Disgusting as hell.

Liu Qiang took a puff of his cigar and then asked, "What's the old man's background?"

After saying that, Liu Qiang exhaled a puff of smoke.

Wu Zhouyuan continued, "I haven't checked that carefully."

"Go check it out now," Liu Qiang said.

Wu Zhouyuan nodded, "Okay, Chairman Liu, I'll go right away."

at the same time.

Beijing.

Shen Mansion.

A few days ago, Grandma Shen and Shen Jingshu went to SKP to pick out some trendy clothes, jewelry and bags for Jiang Ning. Today, the store delivered everything.

Large and small bags were lined up in a row in the living room.

Grandma Shen looked at Shen Jingshu and said, "Jingshu, when do you have time, please send these things to Ningning."

Upon hearing this, Shen Jingshu looked troubled. "Mom, is it really appropriate for me to deliver it?"

"What's wrong with that?" Old Mrs. Shen frowned slightly.

"It was fine before Ningning and I were just friends, but now I'm her boyfriend's older sister. If I were to give Ningning these things, under what pretext? As a friend, or as her boyfriend's older sister?"

after all.

Jiang Ning and Shen Jingnian have not yet formally met each other's parents.

At this point, Shen Jingshu continued, "Also, didn't you hear Jingnian say that Ningning is against marriage? What if Ningning misunderstands that I'm pressuring her to get married and she doesn't want to be with our Tiantian anymore?"

The more Shen Jingshu thought about it, the more she felt that she shouldn't be the one to send these things.

Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Shen felt that what Shen Jingshu said made a lot of sense.

"Why don't you go and deliver it yourself, Tian Tian?" Shen Jing Shu looked at Old Madam Shen.

Grandma Shen frowned slightly. "You want him to deliver it? He'll definitely say with a straight face, 'I don't spend money on people I'm not related to by blood!'"

This is also why Old Mrs. Shen didn't ask Shen Jingnian to deliver it.

A wise child is better than his mother.

Grandma Shen knows Shen Jingnian very well.

That child has been stingy since he was little.

More than 20 years ago, kindergartens did not have school uniforms. After starting first grade, parents had to order school uniforms from the school. The night before ordering the school uniforms, Shen Jingnian repeatedly told his grandmother to tell him to give her a size two sizes larger.

At the time, Old Mrs. Shen didn't understand what it meant!

Until later.

When it came time to choose school uniforms for second grade, Shen Jingnian stood in front of his grandmother wearing last year's uniform and said, "Mom, I can still wear my school uniform."

It was at this moment that Mrs. Shen realized why her son had asked her to order her school uniform two sizes too big.

The school uniforms were already on the larger side.

It wasn't until fourth grade, when the school uniform was simply too worn out, that Shen Jingnian asked Grandma Shen to order a new one.

I hardly changed my school uniform during my six years of junior high and high school.

and also.

Shen Jingnian never allowed his family driver to pick him up from school; he always ran to and from school, which is why he developed a very muscular physique from a young age.

At first, Mrs. Shen thought the child wanted to exercise.

I later found out that he thought it was a waste of gas to drive people around!

Grandma Shen was speechless.

She and Grandpa Shen are both normal people, so why are they so stingy with their son?

As the older sister, Shen Jingshu naturally knew her younger brother's character, but after hearing her mother's words, she expressed a different opinion, "Mom, that was all in the past. Believe it or not, he's definitely not like that now."

"Actually, all men are the same. When they truly fall in love with someone, they will give the best of everything to that person."

"I don't believe it!" Old Mrs. Shen continued, "A man as stingy as him will only become more stingy when he's in a relationship!"

Shen Jingnian has been stingy for so many years, can he just change his ways?

Shen Jingshu said with a smile, "If you don't believe me, I'll call Jingnian down and you'll see."

Shen Jingnian happens to be home today.

After saying that, Shen Jingshu told the maid to call Shen Jingnian downstairs.

About ten minutes.

Shen Jingnian then came down.

Shen Jingshu pointed to the things that the staff had just brought in and said, "Jingnian, these are gifts that my mother and I bought for Ningning. If you have time, take them to Ningning."

"Okay." Shen Jingnian nodded slightly. "Then I'll take it to her tomorrow."

Grandma Shen's eyes widened in surprise.

???

Did she really hear correctly?

Shen Jingshu continued, "Also, when you're dating Ningning, don't be stingy. Remember to give her a sense of security. Don't forget to prepare surprises for Ningning on her birthday and anniversary. Buy her flowers, bags, and jewelry, and occasionally transfer some money to her."

"I know, sister."

Grandma Shen: ? ? ?

So obedient!

They didn't even argue back, but obediently nodded.

Is this really her eldest son?

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Grandma Shen would never have believed what she was seeing!

Shen Jingnian continued, "Sister, is there anything else? I have a video conference to attend later."

"It's alright, you can go upstairs and get back to work." Shen Jingshu waved her hand.

Shen Jingnian nodded slightly, then turned and walked upstairs.

As Shen Jingnian's figure disappeared upstairs, Shen Jingshu turned to look at Old Madam Shen and said with a smile, "Mom, did you see that! This is the power of love! When it comes to Ningning, nothing else matters to Tiantian."

Grandma Shen laughed and said, "It really is like brine curdling tofu; one thing subdues another!"

Seeing how much Shen Jingnian has changed, Grandma Shen is genuinely happy from the bottom of her heart.

I originally thought I had no hope of ever having a grandson in my lifetime.

Now it seems not only promising, but very promising!

The morning of the second day.

Shen Jingnian invited Jiang Ning to a popular restaurant and also brought along the gifts that Grandma Shen and Shen Jingshu had bought to give to Jiang Ning.

The two agreed to meet at 11:30.

Shen Jingnian arrived at 11:10.

Almost as soon as Shen Jingnian arrived at the parking lot, he received a message from Jiang Ning, saying that there was an urgent matter at the company that would delay her arrival at the restaurant.

As Shen Jingnian walked towards the restaurant, he glanced down and replied, "Okay, no rush, I'll wait for you."

"Nineth Master!"

Just as Shen Jingnian finished replying to Jiang Ning's message, a familiar voice came from the air.

Shen Jingnian turned his head slightly and saw Will walking towards them.

"What are you doing here?" Shen Jingnian asked.

Will laughed and said, "I'm here to confess my feelings!"

Will had already asked around and inquired with Jiang Ning's assistant.

Jiang Ning will have lunch here.

When the time comes, just have someone find an excuse to lure Jiang Ning upstairs.

"Confession?"

Will nodded and continued, "That's right, Ninth Master. Didn't you say last time that the scene I set up wasn't very good? So today I booked the rooftop garden upstairs and redecorated it, planning to confess to her at noon."

At this point, Will continued, "And, as you said, I specially had 10,001 roses prepared today!"

Will learned a lot about expressing his feelings from Shen Jingnian.

such as.

Ten thousand and one roses represent one in ten thousand.

"By the way, Ninth Master, what brings you here?" Will then asked.

"I have a date with my girlfriend," Shen Jingnian replied.

"And what about your girlfriend?" Will looked around and then asked.

Actually, he was quite curious about what Shen Jingnian's girlfriend looked like.

Will didn't follow news from China, so he didn't know that Jiang Ning's boyfriend was Shen Jingnian.

Shen Jingnian continued, "She has something come up and will be a little late."

“Oh, I see.” Will nodded. “Since your girlfriend is coming later, why don’t you come with me to the Sky Garden? I’ll feel more at ease with you helping me make the decision.”

Shen Jingnian nodded slightly. "Lead the way."

The two walked in tandem.

Soon they arrived at the Hanging Gardens that Will had mentioned.

As Will said, the scene of the confession was beautifully decorated, and the atmosphere was romantic.

Will continued, "Do you see any problems here?"

"There's no problem."

Will nodded, sighed, and said, "That's good. Hopefully, she'll agree this time!"

Shen Jingnian raised an eyebrow slightly and asked in confusion, "Why are you so down today? Aren't you usually quite confident in yourself?"

Will continued, "I added her on WeChat the day before yesterday. She told me on WeChat that she already had a boyfriend and that she had blocked me."

Will was very upset about being blocked by Jiang Ning.

He used to be the one blocking others.

This was the first time he had been blocked by someone.

Seeing Will so heartbroken, Shen Jingnian patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "She just has a boyfriend, not that she's married. You still have the right to pursue her along with her boyfriend, and she has the right to choose. Although you are indeed a bit promiscuous, it doesn't matter. After all, you are a nobleman from P country. As long as you turn over a new leaf, you might be able to move her."

"Really? I can really move her?" Will seemed to have found some confidence.

Shen Jingnian nodded slightly, "The key is perseverance."

After saying that, Shen Jingnian glanced at his watch. "I should go downstairs and wait for my girlfriend. I wish you success in your confession."

"Thank you, Ninth Master, I will definitely persevere!" Will said with a smile, "Let me see you downstairs."

Shen Jingnian did not refuse.

As soon as Will arrived downstairs, he saw a familiar figure walking towards him from the opposite direction.

She was wearing a white sleeveless top and black cargo pants, and her hair was tied up in a bun. She looked incredibly cool.

He exclaimed excitedly, "Ninth Master, look! That's the person I'm going to confess my feelings to!"

"Where?" Shen Jingnian asked.

Will pointed at Jiang Ning and said, "She's the one who wears black overalls, is very pretty and cool."

Shen Jingnian looked up and saw Jiang Ning walking towards him.

It's summer.

Most of the girls in the restaurant were wearing skirts or hot pants; she was the only one wearing cargo pants.

Shen Jingnian's expression changed instantly. He turned to look at Will, his phoenix eyes narrowing slightly. "Who are you going to confess to?!"
