Shen Wanci took it over and found that the watch was in good condition. Except for the metal strap, which had become oxidized over time, there were almost no other scratches.
The resentment she felt toward Shen Zhen'an rose to another level. Even if an outsider could preserve her mother's relics so well, that bastard Shen Zhen'an deserved to die alone.
The needle in the watch has stopped moving, probably because it is out of power.
Seeing her staring at the hands, Nie Yucheng said, "The battery is gone. I'll take it to a watch shop to replace it later and I'll be able to walk normally."
"No, this is my mother's relic. I want to put it there and keep it well." Shen Wanci put the watch away: "Thank you, Auntie."
Aunt Nie glanced at Nie Yucheng, and his usually gentle face seemed to have a gloomy look on his face: "You are so polite. When your father did such a thing, the Nie family also had difficulty with cash flow at that time, so they couldn't help you. Busy, I've been feeling so guilty these years, I feel like I won't be able to go down there to see your mother even if I die..." Before he could finish his words, he started coughing again.
The servant came over with the freshly made dessert, "Miss Shen, Madam knew you were coming, so she specially ordered us to make it. Let's have a try to see if it still tastes the same as before."
"Thank you."
Aunt Nie was sick and in low spirits. She fell asleep after not sitting for a while. Shen Wanci helped her back to the room and was about to leave. Nie Yucheng was on the phone and turned around when he heard the voice, "Xiangxiang is looking for you."
Shen Wanci: "?? Xiangxiang is looking for me? Why doesn't she call me?"
Xiangxiang has her contact information. The last time Nie Yucheng was hospitalized, she was the one who called her.
"She asked me some details about the celebration party tonight and said she wanted to call you. I mentioned casually that you were with me, and she started making noises to find you."
"..."
Although this is true, Shen Wanci always feels that these words tend to make people think too much.
But seeing Nie Yucheng's frank face, she felt that maybe her mind had been dirty by Bo Jingzhou and she had misunderstood.
Although Nie Yucheng had chased her before, since she stopped going to work at Nie's, the two had less contact, and he never mentioned that he liked her again.
Even when he was injured while picking up his wallet last time, Xiangxiang talked about it, but there was no follow-up later. She didn't even know when he recovered from his injury and was discharged from the hospital.
Shen Wanci didn't want to answer, and just when he was about to wave his hand to refuse, Xiangxiang's excited voice came out from the receiver. Even if the speakerphone was not turned on, he could hear it clearly.
"Sister Wan, Sister Wan, I heard from Manager Nie that you won't come tonight. Why? Tonight is a special celebration banquet for Cross City. Our project department should be in good order. If you don't come, it won't be perfect. .”
"We have missed you so much while you are not here." After all, when Shen Wanci was here, Manager Nie had always been kind and cheerful. Even if something was not done well, the most he would do was call back to make corrections. "You won't come either. Look at us."
"Sister Wan, you must come tonight. We are waiting for you. Last time, a few big guys asked me which master in the industry designed the exterior design of the crossing city. Come and I will give you my contact information. Today they seem to Come too, and I will introduce you to them when the time comes. They are all walking RMB."
"Stop talking, I have to pick out a dress. Manager Nie has made an appointment with a stylist for all the staff in our project department. Today we are going to blow up the whole place. Sister Wan, hurry up. If you let me go, I will cry. look."
Shen Wanci didn't say a word, and the schedule was clearly arranged by Xiangxiang.
She looked at the smiling Nie Yucheng and forced a smile: "Has she always been so excited?"
She thought of Chen Xu, who was also a secretary. Why was there such a big gap?
"It's true when I'm off work. Although I'm still making noises when I'm at work, I'm still a little more restrained."
In this case, Shen Wanci was too embarrassed not to go. She planned to show up and then go back.
Nie Yucheng saw her wavering at a glance and struck while the iron was hot: "Let's go to Ximei. The company has reserved the venue today, so I will meet them."
……
The banquet was held in a five-star hotel.
After arriving, Shen Wanci discovered that this was a business banquet. Many well-known people from Kyoto came, mainly to introduce the Cross City project, so it could be regarded as a celebration banquet, but to say it was a complete celebration banquet, it was not.
Shen Wanci and Nie Yucheng entered the venue together. When they arrived at Ximei, there was no one there, and they were the only two who arrived belatedly.
Nie Yucheng was the prince and heir of the Nie family. When he arrived, everyone's eyes were focused on him.
Shen Wanci didn't expect such a big battle, so she subconsciously took a step back to distance herself from him.
She had been looking for colleagues from the project department outside just now, but she didn't know whether they arrived late or missed her. She didn't see anyone she knew.
But Nie Yucheng turned around and spoke to her without any scruples, and even slightly bent his elbows: "In this case, is it necessary to give her a courtesy hug?"
Shen Wanci laughed dryly: "...No, let's go. There are so many people watching. You are acting like you are getting married. Be careful that no girl will marry you in the future."
After saying that, she ignored his hand and strode in.
After scanning around, I quickly saw a group of people from the project department. They were probably not used to attending such business banquets. They were sitting in the rest area chatting and gossiping.
Xiangxiang saw her first and ran towards her, "Sister Wan, why are you here so late?"
"Traffic jam."
Traffic jams in Kyoto are as normal as eating, so Xiangxiang didn't ask any more questions, "I'll take you to see the boss."
"No, I don't plan to enter the construction industry in the future, so I won't waste the feelings of the big guys. You go and chat with them, and I'll get something to eat."
She never liked attending banquets. When she was Mrs. Bo, her identity was not disclosed. Jiang Yazhu felt that she had been wronged, so he would take her to some banquets from time to time, hoping that she would get to know more people and make more friends. We can also make appointments to go shopping on weekdays.
When those people saw that she came with Jiang Yazhu, they all wanted to please her. After knowing that she was the daughter of the Shen family who lived in a poor family and did not have a good relationship with the Bo family, they all changed their faces.
Either they treat each other indifferently, or they show off in various ways.
Shen Wanci grabbed something casually, found a quiet place to sit down, and started to watch short videos. Bo Jingzhou sent a WeChat message: It's seven o'clock, Mrs. Jin's food has been hot for two rounds, when will you be back?
She replied: I am attending a banquet and will go back later, so you should eat first.
Bo Jingzhou replied quickly: Didn't you go to see Aunt Nie?
Shen Wanci: Well, it was organized by Nie...
She was about to say it was a celebration banquet across the city when a voice fell from above her head and asked, "Can I sit here?"
