Chapter 333: Aren’t You Worried at All?
Besides, from what Lu Cheng had said, Shen Nian could easily tell the Chu Family was an incredibly upstanding one. Even their own children and grandchildren had to rely on their own abilities to succeed. Naturally, they wouldn’t make an exception and provide any shortcuts for Lu Cheng.
There were no shortcuts, only the potential for major trouble. ’Probably only someone as righteous as Lu Cheng would insist on repaying his debt of gratitude like this.’
However, Shen Nian didn’t hold it against Lu Cheng. She knew this was just the kind of person he was, and this was precisely the Lu Cheng she loved.
If Lu Cheng went against his principles just because of the potential trouble ahead, then he wouldn’t be her Lu Cheng anymore!
Shen Nian suddenly thought of her past life. Because of her, Lu Cheng had destroyed his own future. ’And what he destroyed probably wasn’t just his own future, but the hopes of the entire Chu Family as well!’
’Since this is what Lu Cheng wants to do, then I’ll do it with him!’
’But before that, I want to meet the Chu Family myself. I need to see what their attitude toward Lu Cheng truly is!’
Lu Cheng gazed at Shen Nian, her recent words still echoing in his mind. His Shen Nian trusted him. She believed he could reach a high position even on his own, and she believed he truly had no selfish intentions concerning the Chu Family.
Shen Nian’s trust thrilled Lu Cheng more than anyone else’s.
Pulling Shen Nian into his arms, Lu Cheng rested his head on her shoulder, his lips close to her ear.
"Xiao Nian, thank you. Thank you for trusting me!"
"Silly."
Shen Nian smiled and hugged Lu Cheng tightly in return.
"I’m your wife. If I don’t trust you, who can I trust?"
Once Lu Cheng had calmed down, Shen Nian brought up the Chu Family again.
"So, in that case, are we visiting the Chu Family tomorrow? Should we prepare something before we go?"
Given the deep history between the Chu Family and Lu Cheng, they certainly couldn’t go empty-handed. Chu Yunze and Lu Cheng were good friends, but that meant Chu Yunze’s elders were also Lu Cheng’s elders.
"Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it."
"Okay."
Since Lu Cheng told her not to worry, Shen Nian let the matter rest. After all, Lu Cheng knew the Chu Family far better than she did; he would certainly know what kind of gift was appropriate.
Lu Cheng had matters to attend to at the company that afternoon. After they finished talking, he reminded Shen Nian of a few things and then headed back to the office.
Shen Nian tidied up the house, and just as she sat down to rest for a moment, there was a knock on the door. It was Lin Jingyun, the first friend Shen Nian had made since moving here.
"Xiao Nian, I heard that ’Flower of the Entertainment Department’ came to see you. Are you alright?"
Lin Jingyun had to go out for an errand that morning, and as soon as she returned, she heard that Meng Sijia had come looking for Shen Nian.
Lin Jingyun was well aware that Meng Sijia had a crush on Lu Cheng, so she was immediately worried that Meng Sijia might have given Shen Nian a hard time. She rushed over to Shen Nian’s apartment at once.
"Do I look like anything is wrong? So, that Meng Sijia is the ’Flower of the Entertainment Department,’ huh!"
Shen Nian said with a smile, looking at Lin Jingyun. ’The Flower of the Entertainment Department... what a unique title!’
"You can say that again. She’s always fancied herself the best in the Entertainment Department, and she uses her family background to look down on everyone. People started calling her the ’Flower of the Entertainment Department’ to poke fun at her, but she ended up liking the title and even adopted it for herself!"
Shen Nian laughed even harder at that. ’Wow, she’s really something else!’
"What are you laughing about? Aren’t you worried at all?"
"What’s there to be worried about? That she has a crush on Lu Cheng?"
Shen Nian said, looking at Lin Jingyun, the smile on her face never wavering.
