Chapter 81: Chapter 81: Considerate Fourth Young Master Shen (2)

Ding-dong——

Just after finishing the meal, the doorbell suddenly rang. Xu Ju immediately stood up and explained to Mi Jing, "I’ll get the door, it should be the movers."

Movers?

Mi Jing looked puzzled and asked, "Are we moving something out of the house?"

"Yes, the young master said he wants to clear out the guest room." Xu Ju was just following Shen Lingxing’s instructions, but she didn’t know why the guest room needed to be emptied.

After opening the door, several men walked in. They moved quickly and efficiently, and within about half an hour, they had cleared out the guest room, not delaying Mi Jing’s plans to go out.

Driving to East School Road, she bought a few boxes of osmanthus cakes, and then headed straight for the Shen family ancestral home.

The car arrived at the main gate and stopped for a while, but the gate didn’t open. So Mi Jing honked the horn, and only then did someone open a small door and poke their head out, saying, "Who are you looking for? This is the Shen family, I think you have the wrong place."

When the person saw the Chery car, they thought it was a mistake. They expected the car to turn around and leave, but to their surprise, it didn’t leave and even honked. So they came out to call out.

"I’m not in the wrong place, I’m here to see my grandmother." Mi Jing rolled down the window and smiled at the person.

"Y-young madam!"

Seeing Mi Jing’s face, the person widened their eyes. Last time she returned with Shen Lingxing, everyone in the household knew. But they never expected the grand young madam of the Shen family to drive a Chery, quite a shock!

The servant quickly opened the gate, a little fearful, saying, "Young madam, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to not open the gate for you, I..."

"It’s okay, I’m not in a hurry."

It was her first time driving this car here, so the servant naturally found it unfamiliar. But their attitude was still polite, so there was nothing to be upset about.

After a while, Mi Jing parked the car in front of the main house. Just as she unbuckled the seatbelt, her phone rang.

"Hello, Jing, what happened to your coffee shop? I heard from the staff that you got hurt on your face, is it serious?"

"Just unlucky to run into some hooligans causing trouble, I’m fine. Senior, you went to my shop? What brings you such a busy person here today?" Mi Jing didn’t rush to get out but planned to finish the call first.

"The professor’s birthday is coming up, her sixtieth this time, and she’s holding a banquet at her house. I just came back from England, and the professor asked me to contact you, she wants you to be there and also introduce a match to you."

Introduce a match?

Here we go again! Everyone around her was really concerned about her marriage!

"Sure, I’ll be there, but skip the matchmaking," Mi Jing said.

"Why? Are you embarrassed? That’s not like you! And also, you’re not getting any younger..."

This is probably the awkward situation many leftover women face?

Once you reach a certain age and are not married, everyone you meet tries to persuade you and introduces matches, even though they mean well, it’s still a bit distressing and annoying after a while.

"Senior, I’m married!" She had only told a few close friends about her marriage, and planned to announce it broadly after holding the wedding banquet.

"You’re married? When did this happen?"

Like Li Bao’er and the others, another person was shocked by her marriage news. After a brief explanation and chatting for a while, Mi Jing ended the call.

Holding the osmanthus cakes, Mi Jing got out of the car and immediately saw Ma Huilian walking towards her. She smiled and greeted her politely.

"Jingjing, are you back alone? Have you eaten? Why didn’t you call first? If we knew you were coming, we’d have waited for you to have lunch together!" Ma Huilian’s smile was all over her face, much more enthusiastic compared to their last two meetings, making Mi Jing a little unaccustomed.

The last time having dinner with her family, Ma Huilian maintained a ’noble’ attitude, sitting beside Shen Zixian, spoke little, polite yet distant. This made her worry-prone mom keep asking if the stepmother was difficult, showing a bad face, and so on.

"I’ve already eaten, just had some free time today, so I came to see grandma." Mi Jing smiled, then took a box of osmanthus cakes from the bag and handed it to Ma Huilian, saying, "Auntie, I heard grandma likes osmanthus cakes, so I bought some for her, you can have some too!"

"Great. My taste is quite similar to mom’s, I also like osmanthus cakes." Ma Huilian happily accepted the cakes, looking like she couldn’t bear to part with it. After praising it a bit, she handed the boxed cakes to the maid beside her, asking her to take it inside, but didn’t invite Mi Jing in, showing signs of a long chat.

But Mi Jing didn’t plan to continue chatting; she took the words Xing’er told her to heart. Knowing that Ma Huilian’s status was significant, she maintained the necessary respect to avoid gossip.

"Glad you like it, Auntie." With that, Mi Jing quickly changed the subject, "Where’s grandma? Is she napping?"

"No, she’s in the garden pavilion, I’ll take you there."

Ma Huilian offered to lead the way, Mi Jing didn’t refuse and nodded.

Maybe because Ma Huilian was in a particularly good mood today, she talked a lot, asking about Shen Lingxing treating her well, and plans for kids. It was quite like an elder concerned about the young.

Mi Jing answered briefly and vaguely, not fully revealing her true thoughts.

Luckily, the garden pavilion was not far from the main house, just a two or three-minute walk. Soon they arrived, and when they got close, Ma Huilian stopped the questioning and started to chat about the cold weather and dressing warmly to avoid catching a cold.

"Jingjing? Why are you here?"

In the pavilion, the elderly lady looking at the photo album turned her head upon hearing the voice, surprised and delighted to see Mi Jing.

"Wanted to surprise you!" Mi Jing respected the elderly lady rather than fearing her, unlike others in the Shen family. She waved the osmanthus cake bag and smiled, "Lingxing said you like osmanthus cakes, so I brought some for you."

"So thoughtful of you, remembering this old lady." The elderly lady handed the album to Mrs. Zhou, pulled Mi Jing to the stone table and sat down. Then she glanced at Ma Huilian and said coldly, "You go back inside, Jingjing can keep me company."
