After the Republic of China

Chapter 1032 Arrival in Shanghai
The Qiao family of Nanjing has no more useful descendants after its development to this day.

Therefore, the Qiao family today is far less out of reach than before.

It’s just that Shao Yunshi hadn’t paid attention to the Qiao family for a long time, so she didn’t know about it.

Qiu Ruqian obviously didn't understand it very well, and still thought that the Qiao family was high and mighty and out of her reach.

After hearing her friend's words, she snorted coldly, "A person's temper is not formed in a day, so it won't be easily changed."

Shao Yunshi frowned when she heard her tone, "Are you not going to continue?"

Qiu Ruqian said affirmatively: "I cannot accept this marriage."

"What about your parents?" Shao Yunshi asked worriedly.

Qiu Ruqian sighed, "They don't have to go to the Qiao family, they just worry that I'm still thinking about Brother Zeng."

Ever since Zeng Yiming almost implicated Qiu Ruqian for a mission a few years ago, Qiu's father rejected his marriage proposal.

Now, Zeng Yiming has gone to Yan'an, and the two of them are probably really hopeless.

Shao Yunshi couldn't explain her feelings towards Zeng Yiming. After thinking for a while, she asked, "Ru Qian, what do you think of Senior Zeng now?"

Zeng Yiming went to Yan'an secretly in 1936. The only people who knew about it were Qiu Ruqian and Shao Yunshi.

It can be seen that Zeng Yiming still cares about Qiu Ruqian, otherwise he would not tell her such an important thing.

Although Qiu Ruqian still had some grudges about what happened a few years ago, she had let it go long ago after a few years of reflection and due to changes in the international situation.

She even had some passion for admiring Zeng Yiming. At least, nowadays, there was no such young man around her.

Originally, she kept these thoughts deep in her heart.

When asked again, Qiu Ruqian took a breath and said, "After spending time with so many classmates and friends, I still think Brother Zeng is the best."

This was really frustrating. Shao Yunshi sighed, "You are really too old to delay any longer now. It's no wonder that your uncle and aunt are anxious."

Qiu Ruqian has a figure in her mind, so naturally she feels that something is lacking in everyone she looks at.

Seeing her silence, Shao Yunshi still had something she didn't understand. "Ruqian, didn't Senior Zeng send any more messages?"

Qiu Ruqian shook her head, "No, that's why I was confused. I thought I could just go on a blind date and give my parents an explanation, which would make me a filial daughter."

This is a bit pessimistic.

Shao Yunshi hurriedly advised: "Don't be anxious, you still have to find a suitable one. I think there are still many good men in Nanjing."

Qiu Ruqian didn't want to bother her friend too much, so she smiled and said, "Of course, I have to choose carefully."

Hearing her laugh, Shao Yunshi finally breathed a sigh of relief. The two chatted for a few more minutes before hanging up the phone.

When she was on the phone, the people around her had already tactfully avoided the questioning, thus saving her from being asked questions by everyone.

Pinching his forehead, Shao Yunshi sighed. She never expected that the Qiao family in Nanjing would become so poor that they had to marry into other families everywhere.
She was worried for Ru Qian. The old lady of the Qiao family was not a pushover. She hoped that this matter could be resolved smoothly.

However, there is no point in thinking too much. Now that things have come to her, she can only wait for the results.

At night, Shao Yunshi did not keep us at the mansion. We stayed to celebrate New Year's Eve yesterday, and she was grateful, so she had to let us go now.

After all, she bought a house in Shanghai for Luo Cheng and others.

No one could persuade Shao Yunshi, so they packed up and went home. Of course, singles like Ling Daxia and others stayed.

However, Uncle Bu Yi and Master Yang, as well as Xiaodong and Lei Zi's family, also stayed. Anyway, no matter where they stayed, they would be reunited.

There were fewer people left in the hall, so it was quieter.

It just so happened that the men were still drinking in the small hall, and there were only a few women in the living room, so they could talk freely. Xiaodong was the first to lean on the sofa, looking completely without manners.

Master Yang was very annoyed and said, "Just sit down. What a shame."

Xiaodong is no longer afraid of her mother. "There's no one else here, so why should I be afraid?"

Master Yang was so angry at her behavior that he almost raised his hands.

Shao Yunshi was afraid that the two women would start quarreling again, so she hurriedly said, "Xiaodong, Bu Zhen's eyes are almost squinting, take him to the guest room to rest."

Xiaodong was also afraid of being beaten, so he stood up awkwardly and planned to hug his younger brother.

Master Yang glared at her when he saw that she knew she was wrong, and then he stopped her, saying, "It's warm here next to the fireplace, so let him sleep here for a while. When your father has finished drinking, we'll go back together."

After hearing this, Xiaodong stopped.

Shao Yunshi didn't look cold at all, and said with a smile: "That's fine, hey, I told you to go home, but you refused, and now Ah Zhen is suffering."

Xiaodong took the orange and ate it while saying happily: "It's the same when we go home. Anyway, the whole family is together, and here I can also be with the young lady, isn't it better?"

Master Yang followed up, "That's right. Our nursery is not as lively as here. We only come up during the holidays. Miss, don't worry too much."

As they were talking, the sound of men playing rock-paper-scissors came from the small flower hall. It was really lively.

Shao Yunshi and the others looked at each other helplessly.

In this way, the New Year was celebrated lively until the fifth day, when everyone dispersed.

These days, while others were living a happy and lively life, Shao Yunshi was anxious every day.

She waited for Luo Congbai from before the New Year to after the New Year, but he never showed up. She was so anxious that blisters appeared at the corners of her mouth.

Bu Xun has been accompanying Shao Yunshi recently. Seeing her like this, he said distressedly, "Don't worry. Didn't Atang say that the son-in-law and his men are about to enter Shanghai."

Shao Yunshi gritted her teeth, "Isn't it chaotic outside? Although we already have an office in Nanjing, there are all kinds of people at the Shanghai port. I'm afraid they will barge in rashly."

Bu Xun was shocked when he heard this. "That's true. Shanghai is no different from other places."

As he was speaking, Gan Tang arrived.

Asen accompanied him.

Seeing the two of them, Shao Yunshi hurriedly asked, "Is there any news outside?"

Gan Tang was excited and his tone was cheerful. "Well, Cong Bai has arrived in Shanghai. However, he has something else to do, so he will probably come in the evening. I'll get him some clothes to change into."

Shao Yunshi was delighted. "Here they are. Oh, how many of them are coming together? Do you want to bring some extra clothes?"

Gan Tang knew that she was always thoughtful, but it was really unnecessary. "You only need to deal with Cong Bai. Although he came with others this time, he arrived in Shanghai secretly this time and acted alone."

"What do you mean?" Shao Yunshi asked in surprise.

Gan Tang shook his head. "I don't know the details either. Anyway, the person has arrived. When you meet him, you can ask him yourself."

If a comrade who was not familiar with the person was not familiar with the person, he probably would not say this. Shao Yunshi nodded to show that she understood.

Buxun said happily: "As long as you're back, it's been a few years since we last saw each other."

Shao Yunshi also asked with concern: "Is Cong Bai okay?"

Gan Tang hurriedly comforted him, "Don't worry, Cong Bai is fine."

After he said this, Shao Yunshi felt relieved, but she was still worried.
