Marriage as a Game

Chapter 80 Happy Valentine’s Day

Along the way, Shen Chaoxi was a little absent-minded.

When she paid attention to the road conditions, she found that the itinerary had changed direction.

"Where are we going?" Shen Chaoxi asked.

This direction leads to the northwest, opposite from home.

The car stopped at a red light at the intersection. Yao Dimai looked at her carefully without saying anything.

Shen Chaoxi found it funny and touched his face.

"What are you looking at me for?"

"Look, are you stupid? Auntie just sent me a message saying she's getting off the plane soon. Let's go pick her up. Didn't I tell you that? What's the point of studying hard every day? You're numb!"

Shen Chaoxi suddenly realized that this was the case.

"I was thinking about the question and didn't come back to my senses for a while."

She said and looked out the window.

The van started, and the street scene slowly disappeared from sight.

Xinqiao Airport is located in the northwest outskirts of the city, an hour's drive from the highway.

As the van was already in a critical condition due to its old age, it was already one o'clock when the two arrived.

There was still some distance from the parking lot to the pick-up point, so Shen Chaoxi quickened his pace.

Yao Dimai claimed that his uncle-in-law, a big boss, was really cheap in his car, so he had to make do with the cleaning work, so the job of picking up the car at the airport naturally fell on Shen Chaoxi.

As Shen Chaoxi entered the hall, he heard the broadcast of passengers boarding the plane from Beijing to London.

The Chinese and English versions are played in a loop, and the sound is formulaic yet sweet.

Although they have entered middle age, it does not prevent Zhong Hongguang and Yao Chun from showing off their good looks. They are still a sight that cannot be ignored in the airport hall.

Shen Chaoxi found them with almost no effort.

At this time, Zhong Hongguang and Yao Chun were standing in the hall chatting with people, and saw Shen Chaoxi waving his arms.

After not seeing each other for more than a month, Yao Chun took a few steps forward and hugged Shen Chaoxi in full view of everyone.

Yao Chun is shorter than Shen Chaoxi, so he needs to look up slightly to see her.

"You've lost weight! Are you stressed out by studying recently? You need to keep up with your nutrition!"

"No, Mom, you look well." Shen Chaoxi felt a little uncomfortable. There was inevitably a gap between the two of them.

"Hey! Okay Chunchun, let's introduce Xixi to some people."

"Oh!" Yao Chun suddenly remembered and pulled Shen Chaoxi over.

The two people who were talking together have turned their heads.

Only then did Shen Chaoxi see their faces clearly.

Then, his heart suddenly stopped beating for half a beat.

Haven't seen you for more than half a month.

Zhong Hongguang greeted the people: "Xixi, this is Uncle Shang, he is a celebrity, it is not easy to meet him, the chairman of Lianzhong Group, have you heard of Lianzhong?"

Shen Chaoxi lowered his eyebrows slightly, curved the corners of his lips, and called "Uncle Shang".

This person is Shang Qichao, a well-known figure in the business world. From the quick glance just now, I found that he looks somewhat similar to Shang Jianghan, but his temperament is more stable and the inquiry in his eyes is deeper.

These are all products of age.

"Okay! Since I didn't bring a gift, I'll make it up to you next time." Shang Qichao is very easy to talk to.

"Your uncle Zhong and I are old classmates. If you have anything to say, just talk. Don't be polite."

"Thank you, Uncle Shang."

Shen Chaoxi naturally wouldn't take the elders' polite words seriously.

Zhong Hongguang introduced: "This is..."

"Uncle Zhong, no need to introduce, we are very familiar with each other."

Shang Jianghan's words made Shen Chaoxi's heart suddenly tighten.

"Oh?"

His words caught the attention of several people present.

"I have an investment in No. 1 Middle School and teach a few classes part-time, which makes me half of Shen's teacher. As you know, teachers naturally pay more attention to students with excellent grades."

After Shang Jianghan finished speaking, he said to Shen Chaoxi, "Student Shen, what do you think?" with a teasing tone.

Shang Jianghan was dressed more formally today than ever before, with a dark blue tailored suit underneath his black cashmere coat, paired with a white shirt and a starry blue tie. His hair was short but neatly styled, giving him the feel of a high-level elite.

It's quite different from the lazy attitude in the past.

However, Shang Jianghan always gives people a sense of oppression, like an eagle without freedom.

Shen Chaoxi raised his eyes and had already composed his expression.

"Hello, Mr. Shang, you love to joke with us the most!"

Shang Qichao's secretary came over and whispered a few words in his ear.

Just then, there was a voice urging the plane to fly on the radio.

Zhong Hongguang: "Qichao, you guys should go quickly and don't delay the flight. We will have plenty of time to catch up later."

The two sides exchanged a few more polite words, and Shang Qichao left first. Then Zhong Hongguang's cell phone rang, as if there was something going on, so he and Yao Chun walked to a nearby place to discuss it.

"Today is Valentine's Day, didn't you receive a gift?" Shen Chaoxi heard these words.

Shang Jianghan took a few steps behind, waiting to say this to her?

Didn’t he see it?
Without giving Shen Chaoxi a chance to refute, the man lowered his head and looked at her.

"It happened suddenly, so I can't spend the holiday with you. I will be with you from now on. Happy Valentine's Day!"

Shang Jianghan said this and left the other party with a meaningful smile.

It's the clarity of a thousand-year-old snow lotus at the tip of an iceberg.

They spoke for only half a minute, and to outsiders, it looked like they just said hello and then parted ways.

In the parking lot, Yao Chun couldn't help but make a joke when he saw the Wuling car with peeling paint and several dents on the bumper.

"Hongguang, you have never ridden in this car before, let me give you a good feel for it."

It is true that the Zhong family is a family of merchants and has lived a privileged life since childhood. Even though the Zhong family was in a recession during those years, they still had the style they should have.

Zhong Hongguang was obviously very happy. He patted the car body and Yao Dimai.

"Your car should be replaced. How about your uncle give you one? You can pick whatever you want, or you can go to my basement and pick one."

For men like Zhong Hongguang, the standard of success is the brand and number of luxury cars.

I remember someone described a car-loving tycoon like this: There are more cars in my garage than I have shoes!

As they were talking, several people had already got in the car.

Shen Chaoxi was still sitting in the passenger seat. She looked back and saw that the back seat had been cleaned and covered with plush cushions.

Shen Chaoxi also noticed that her suitcase and the bouquet of roses were missing.

"Uncle, I can't drive your car. A horse should be saddled according to its shape. It's not right for a courier like me to drive a luxury car! But my car is really expired, and I plan to trade in my old one for a similar one."

Zhong Hongguang nodded in appreciation.

"This kid!"

The car was not delivered, but Zhong Hongguang treated them to a luxurious lunch.

A luxurious Chinese restaurant with a very high style.

Yao Dimai was quite excited. He took pictures with his mobile phone and said it was enough for him to show off in front of his peers.

This made Zhong Hongguang burst into laughter.

It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when we returned to the Yao family.

As soon as she saw everyone coming back, the smile on grandma's face deepened a lot.

Zhong Hongguang had something else to do, so he sat for a while and then left.

Yao Chun will stay at Yao's house tonight.

It is the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month, and the next day is the "Little New Year" in the traditional sense in the north.

When the elderly are around, these etiquette still needs to be observed.

After the 25th, major shopping malls started their year-end activities. Shen Chaoxi and Zheng Juanjuan went out once, but were later scared away by the prices.

Zheng Juanjuan focused on the supermarket and prepared ingredients, while Shen Chaoxi went to the library twice.

Yao Dimai was on vacation and took advantage of the rest time to visit car dealerships several times, preparing to buy a car.

In short, it was the day before New Year's Eve after a busy day.
