Jiang Yuanliang looked at Shen Ci, and his tone was somewhat reproachful when he spoke: "Why didn't you contact me sooner? You wouldn't have actually been locked up here."

Shen Ci lowered her head and smiled shyly, then said, "It's okay, life is all about experiences."

"No, Uncle Jiang?" Fei Cheng couldn't help but interject, looking at Jiang Yuanliang and asking, "What about me?"

The way he clung to the iron bars, his expression a mixture of surprise and fear, was truly comical.

Jiang Yuanliang glanced at him and said calmly, "Of course you'll stay here and reflect on your actions."

After saying that, he led Shen Ci out of the detention room one after the other.

Fei Cheng shouted anxiously and unwillingly from behind, "Why? She slapped me twice!"

But all he got in response was the detention cell door closing again.

Back in the police station lobby, the officer who had been in charge of the case reappeared, and this time the way he looked at Shen Ci was clearly different.

"You can leave after signing here."

Shen Ci cooperated by signing the document and even said thank you. The police officer smiled awkwardly and secretly glanced at Jiang Yuanliang.

Who among the Chinese doesn't know Jiang Yuanliang?

No wonder this girl was so bold just now; it turns out she has Jiang Yuanliang's connections. That makes sense now.

"Uncle Jiang, are you busy tonight?"

After leaving the police station, Shen Ci suddenly looked at Jiang Yuanliang and asked.

Jiang Yuanliang replied, "After receiving your message, I didn't know the specifics of the situation, so I didn't make any further arrangements."

"Then Uncle Jiang, come home with me. My mom should be cooking now. Let me express my gratitude to Uncle Jiang with my mom's cooking. I remember Uncle Jiang praising my mom's cooking skills."

Jiang Yuanliang smiled upon hearing this, recalling that he had originally intended to invite Ms. Shen to dinner yesterday, but Ms. Shen said she didn't have time, so the invitation didn't go through.

I never expected to have the chance to eat Ms. Shen's cooking again today.

"Okay, then I won't stand on ceremony, get in the car."

At this moment, Shen Jingjing was stewing beef ribs in her kitchen at home. While cooking, she couldn't help but worry.

I was so agitated that I almost burned my hand.

Suddenly Yoda called out from the living room, and Shen Jingjing immediately put down what she was holding and ran out.

A black, unfamiliar car slowly pulled in. Shen Jingjing opened the door to greet it and saw her daughter get out of the car from the back seat.

Her face lit up with joy, and the next second, Jiang Yuanliang stepped out of the car from the other side of the rear door.

"Mr. Jiang?"

Shen Jingjing was surprised that her daughter would come back with Mr. Jiang. After thinking about it, she realized that her daughter had asked Mr. Jiang to go to the police station to "rescue her".

"Mom, Uncle Jiang picked me up from the police station, and to express my gratitude, I invited him to our home," Shen Ci explained to her mother.

Shen Jingjing nodded gratefully: "It's nothing, thank you so much, Mr. Jiang."

"It was nothing." Jiang Yuanliang said, glancing at the house in front of him. He felt a sense of familiarity with it, and after thinking for a moment, he suddenly realized, "You bought this house?"

Shen Ci was somewhat surprised by his words and asked, puzzled, "Uncle Jiang, what do you mean by that? Do you have some connection with this house?"

"No, it's just that when this community first opened for sale, I was looking to buy a wedding house for my nephew. He had his eye on this one, but he couldn't get it, so he bought another one instead."

Shen Ci, Jiang Yuanliang's nephew, knew that it was Jiang Cheng, whom Lianxing had secretly loved since childhood; she had met him twice.

“I got a bargain from someone else; the original homeowner just happened to need money for investment.”

Jiang Yuanliang smiled and nodded: "Then this house should be yours."

At this moment, Shen Jingjing suddenly exclaimed, "Oh dear, I still have beef ribs stewing in the pot. Mr. Jiang, please don't stand outside, come in and sit down."

With that, he turned around and ran quickly through the gate.

Jiang Yuanliang smiled as he watched her retreating figure, then followed Shen Ci into the villa.

For dinner, Shen Jingjing made "stewed beef ribs", "blanched squid", "spicy shredded pork", "stir-fried eggs with toon", and "baby bok choy in broth".

The meal consists of four dishes and a soup, offering a variety of flavors and a rich selection of ingredients.

Jiang Yuanliang washed his hands and sat down. Looking at the delicious food in front of him, he couldn't help but say, "It's been so long since I've had such home-cooked meals. Sometimes I really miss them."

Shen Jingjing served him rice herself: "If you like it, then eat more, don't be shy."

Shen Ci, however, asked with some curiosity after hearing his words, "Does Uncle Jiang not have a nanny at home?"

People as busy as him usually have a nanny and a cook at home to take care of their daily life.

Jiang Yuanliang smiled and shook his head: "No, I don't like having outsiders in my house."

"So how do you usually eat when you're at home?"

"My secretary will order takeout for me."

"Huh?" Shen Jingjing blinked in surprise. "You're eating takeout at home?"

Seeing the mother and daughter's reactions, Jiang Yuanliang nodded without hesitation: "Yes, I'm used to it. For me, eating is just about filling my stomach most of the time. Eating too much takeout makes me lose interest in food. So I'm always happy to eat Ms. Shen's cooking. The taste of home-cooked food is just different from what you get outside."

For him, the dishes in those high-end restaurants are just everyday fare; it's the home-style dishes that he cherishes more.

"Since it's such a rare treat, we must eat more today." Shen Jingjing said, picking up a piece of beef rib and placing it on Jiang Yuanliang's plate, and very politely using serving chopsticks.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony." Jiang Yuanliang picked up his chopsticks and began to eat.

Only then did Shen Jingjing have a moment to ask her daughter, "Why did you come back? Where are Pili and the others?"

Shen Ci explained, "I was hiking in Tianfu Mountain this morning. When I received the news, I went straight to the airport to catch the next flight back. After getting off the plane, I went straight to the store. Your company's employees said you went to the police station, so I rushed over there. Pili originally wanted to come with me, but I didn't let them. They stayed in Jiyang to play."

Shen Jingjing nodded knowingly: "It's nothing serious, you've wasted your precious vacation."

"Isn't this a big deal?" Shen Ci said with a stern face, "If Fei Cheng dared to throw paint on the store today, who knows if he'll dare to throw sulfuric acid on people in the future."

She looked at her mother seriously and said, "Mom, it's true that Uncle Fei is a very good person, and I also think you two are a good match, but his son's reaction to your relationship is so extreme, I think you should just give up."

This is a very real problem, because Fei Yunzong can't sever ties with his son. As long as Fei Cheng stands between the two of them, will there be any peace in the future?
