A dowry of one billion, and I'll marry him!
Chapter 96 Why does it have to be her?
Zhan Jinglin drove back towards the Zhan residence.
On the way, Shi Yanxia remained silent, but turned her head thoughtfully to look at the scenery outside the car window and said, "Zhan Jinglin."
"Hmm?" the man replied in a deep voice.
He looked up with some confusion, glancing in the rearview mirror, and saw her looking up at him.
"I'm a little confused. Why does it have to be me?" Shi Yanxia asked in a low voice.
She really couldn't understand this and wanted to have her fortune told.
However, you shouldn't try to predict your own fate; that's the rule. Besides, if you get too deeply involved in your own thoughts, you might not be able to accurately predict your destiny, and you might even be led astray by your own thinking.
"Don't think about these things. All you need to do is live in the present. Leave everything else to me." Zhan Jinglin gripped the steering wheel and made a stylish turn.
He drove very steadily, and the car moved smoothly.
Shi Yanxia leaned against the car window, her thoughts drifting back to her past life, to the scene where they forced her to record a video, as if it were a matter of course.
She died later. Did Zhan Jinglin also die? She didn't know.
She must be dead by now, otherwise why would she have come back?
"Gu Qing went back by herself?" Shi Yanxia was a little surprised before she realized that Gu Qing was gone.
From the moment we arrived at the old house, we seemed to have never seen Gu Qing. When we returned, Gu Qing didn't come with us either.
Hearing her question, the man calmly replied, "I asked Gu Qing to take care of something; she'll be back later."
Shi Yanxia remained silent after hearing this. Perhaps she had been drinking last night and had been out and about all day, so she was quite tired. She sat in the car and fell asleep soon after.
Shi Yanxia quickly opened her eyes when she vaguely heard a man's hoarse voice in her ear.
"We've arrived," Zhan Jinglin said in a deep voice.
Shi Yanxia quickly sat up straight. When she saw the familiar villa, she jumped out of the car, picked up her handbag, and walked into the villa.
"Young Madam is back?" Butler Zhou greeted her immediately upon seeing her.
Seeing the bodyguards carrying a lot of things out of the SUV, Butler Zhou's eyes lit up, and he whispered, "They're all tonics. It seems the old master has a very good impression of the young mistress."
"Huh, what's this?" Butler Zhou asked in confusion.
Seeing that it was a box of other things, he opened it with a puzzled look, and what came into view was a box of gold jewelry. Butler Zhou's heart jumped into his throat.
"Young Madam, come quickly!" Butler Zhou hurriedly called out to her.
Shi Yanxia yawned, turned around and came back. When she saw what was inside the box, her jaw almost dropped. She said in disbelief, "Why is there a box of gold jewelry?"
"I guess it was a gift from the old master to the young mistress," Butler Zhou said cheerfully.
At this moment, Zhan Jinglin stepped in. Hearing his conversation with Shi Yanxia, he took off his coat and handed it to a servant before walking over.
He glanced at the contents of the box and said, "Grandpa gave this to you, you can keep it."
"So many, a whole box." Shi Yanxia swallowed.
Other people give jewelry little by little, but the old man gave her a whole box full of it, with several compartments piled high inside.
"I'll help you carry it up." Zhan Jinglin didn't say anything more.
He reached out and picked up the box, then started walking upstairs, with Shi Yanxia quickly following behind him.
The man carried a box of gold jewelry into her room, placed it on the coffee table, and said, "Rest for a while. Leng Zhiming will be coming over later."
"If you don't mind, how about having dinner with him tonight?" Zhan Jinglin asked in a hoarse voice.
Shi Yanxia had no objection and nodded, saying, "You can arrange it."
He breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and then continued, "He is very interested in medicine and has tried to find time to consult you many times, but he has been unable to do so due to other commitments."
"He'll probably ask you some questions tonight. If you want to talk to him, go ahead. If not, just refuse. We grew up together and have a good relationship, so you don't have to give me face." Zhan Jinglin gave her a few words of advice before turning to leave.
Shi Yanxia stared blankly at a box of gold jewelry. When she took out her phone, she saw a message from the old man pop up.
"Are you home yet?" the old man asked.
"Hmm," Shi Yanxia replied with a single word.
After thinking for a moment, she added, "Why did Grandpa give me so much jewelry?"
"These are all things left behind by my mother. When she was alive, she planned to give them to Ah Lin after she grew up and got married, but unfortunately she didn't live to see this day."
"I'm giving this to you on behalf of my wife today. See if you like it," the old man typed.
Looking at the words on the screen, she was overwhelmed with emotions.
"Thank you, Grandpa." Shi Yanxia didn't refuse again. Instead, she closed the box and reached out to move it to the side, only to find that the box actually weighed several tens of kilograms.
It seems she underestimated the weight of these things.
It was dusk, 6:30.
Leng Ziming drove his Maybach to the front of the Zhan residence. After getting out of the car, he walked in carrying some food and called out, "Butler Zhou."
“Yes, Young Master Leng.” Butler Zhou quickly stepped forward.
Leng Zimo handed him the items and said, "I bought some braised food: a pig's trotter, two pounds of boneless chicken feet, a pound of goose feet, and a pig's ear."
"Pour it out for me, I want to drink tonight," Leng Ziming said cheerfully.
Butler Zhou couldn't stop smiling when he heard that he had bought so much food. He said, "Young Master Leng really knows how to eat. These are quite good with drinks, but Young Master also had some extra food."
Upon hearing this, Leng Zhimo immediately moved closer to the dining table.
I saw roast chicken, salt and pepper shrimp, braised pork ribs, stir-fried beef and celery, pea shoots in broth, steamed sea fish, and spicy crab.
"These aren't his favorite foods? Are these prepared for his sister-in-law?" Leng Zhimo asked, his hands behind his back.
He looked at the dishes, nodded slightly, and said, "Especially the food; he's eaten very little since he got sick, and he also eats very little oily food."
"Now, most of the food we prepare at home is according to the young mistress's tastes," said Butler Zhou.
Leng Zhimo listened as if he had stumbled upon some juicy gossip.
"I understand, I understand." Leng Zhiming said, secretly reaching out to steal a shrimp and taking a bite. As he walked out, he said, "It tastes pretty good, delicious."
As he was speaking, before he had finished eating, he saw Zhan Jinglin and Shi Yanxia standing behind him.
Leng Ziming stood there in astonishment, sucked on his finger, stuffed a shrimp into his mouth, awkwardly pulled out a tissue to wipe his hands, and said, "I'll help you try the dish, haha."
He was so embarrassed he wanted to crawl into a hole, and subconsciously glanced at Shi Yanxia.
"Hello, Mr. Leng." Shi Yanxia greeted him politely.
Leng Ziming was flattered and quickly greeted her, saying, "Hello, sister-in-law."
"Let's eat." Zhan Jinglin waved his hand, not saying anything more.
Zhan Jinglin and Shi Yanxia sat on the left, while Leng Ziming sat on the right. When the butler brought out the wine, Leng Ziming did not pour it but instead opted for a soft drink.
"It's rare to have a meal with my sister-in-law, so I'll just have a beverage," Leng Zhiming said.
He had just picked up his chopsticks when his phone vibrated. Leng Ziming frowned as he looked at the caller ID and said unhappily, "What do you want?"
