When receiving Yan He's message, Shen Jinrong was having dinner with a group of relatives because of grandma's birthday.She sat near the door, glanced around secretly, and found that no relatives noticed her, and began to reply to Yan He secretly.

The relatives sitting around this table, Shen Jinrong, didn't know each other very well, they only knew that they belonged to her grandma.She just sat here as a mascot with peace of mind, never expecting that someone would cue herself.

"I heard that Jin Rong started a new project this year?"

The one who spoke was a middle-aged man who looked about 50 or [-] years old.When Shen Jinrong first came in, she was introduced by Grandma Shen, saying that this was her uncle from afar.

She put down the phone, and after replying to Yan He, she smiled at the right time: "Yes."

The smile on the uncle's face piled up, looking a little flattering.Shen Jinrong's heart skipped a beat, subconsciously feeling something was wrong.Sure enough, I heard his next sentence: "Aren't you a professor at a university? It just so happens that your nephew is about to take the college entrance examination, and his grades... are not very satisfactory, and he may not be admitted to your school. You should find a way to get him Go to your school."

There was a bit of condescension in his tone, as if it was his honor to let others do things for him.

Since Shen Jinrong became a professor, this was the first time he heard someone say that to him.However, she had also heard this topic from other professors in chats before, saying that after she became a university professor, there would always be some messy relatives who had no contact with them before, and they wanted their children to come to her university.

Shen Jinrong still remembers Professor Zhao's answer at that time. The chubby Professor Zhao snorted coldly: "Whatever you met was based on the grades. You don't dare to think about my distant relative—the child scored more than 200 points in the test. Let me Take the 'relationship' to our school."

"Don't say that this matter is completely impossible to operate, our school is ranked relatively high in the world anyway. What do you think they think?"

Thinking of this, Shen Jinrong smiled.The smile was not very enthusiastic, but a polite response: "Then I would venture to ask, how many points did your child get in the test?"

After saying this, Shen Jinrong saw the man's eyes start to dodge, and subconsciously cast his eyes on a boy sitting diagonally across from him.

Shen Jinrong had the impression that the boy had been playing with his phone with his head down since he sat down.She still thought at the time that this person was not professional at all during the dinner.

The distant relative's tone began to stammer: "Although his grades are not very good...only less than [-] points, but there is still some time before the college entrance examination, right! It's almost a year away! Anything can happen, Are you right?"

Shen Jinrong nodded slowly in his expectant eyes, and changed the topic calmly: "Since there is almost a year left before the college entrance examination, you have to let the child work hard, he must work hard at this age, Just rely on your own efforts first.”

He didn't get the answer he wanted, and the smile on the man's face was obviously not as sincere as before.As if he knew that he could not find a breakthrough here with Shen Jinrong, he restrained himself a little, glanced at Grandma Shen who was sitting in the main seat and drinking tea slowly, and said in a complaining tone: "Auntie, our family is obviously good or bad. It's also your grandnephew, so you have to help me with this no matter what, don't you think?"

Grandma Shen's face was pale, but her eyes were already rolled in her heart.But in front of so many relatives, she couldn't say anything, so she had to do Tai Chi too: "Oh! Look at what you said! If this matter can be helped, we will definitely help, but it depends on our child's own efforts, right? "

Having said that, the man gritted his teeth and had to give up the topic.Shen Jinrong also breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to continue looking down at her phone when she heard the man bring up another topic: "Auntie, I heard that my cousin had a widow before his death?"

Hearing the word "widow", Shen Jinrong narrowed his eyes slightly, and the sharpness in his eyes could no longer be hidden.His eyes were fixed on the man, but he seemed not aware of it, and said to himself: "Oh, this is not allowed! Isn't my cousin's widow your daughter-in-law? She should come here to pay respects. You! And I heard that my cousin has always wanted a son--" He hadn't had time to interrupt Shen Jinrong when he heard Grandma Shen put the chopsticks on the table and let out a crisp "crack" With a sound, the whole box was silent in an instant.

Even the boy who had been obsessed with the game world was taken aback. He raised his head to look at Grandma Shen, then at his father, hesitated, and chose to lower his head and continue playing with his phone.

Before Grandma Shen said anything, other relatives disagreed with the man's thoughts: "Oh, Dajun! What are you talking about widows and not widows? Today is our old lady's birthday. What are you talking about?"

"Yeah, you can't talk too much!"

The man was a little embarrassed by what was said, he touched his nose, and cast his eyes on Shen Jinrong who had been sitting in the corner and didn't say much.His eyes lit up, and he asked, "Jin Rong! Are you right?"

Shen Jinrong looked at the message "What are you doing? Have you eaten yet?" sent by Yan He on the screen of the mobile phone, she pursed her lips and smiled, and immediately, she lowered her eyes, tapped the screen with her thumb a few times, and sent out a sentence: "Today Grandma's birthday, having dinner with a group of relatives I don't know very well."

She paused, and then sent out another sentence: "Well... one of them is particularly annoying."

After saying this, she turned her phone on the table and looked up at the man's face.

After drinking, middle-aged men always like to say some big words and give pointers. When she saw the man who was supposed to be her relative appear drunk, with flesh flying all over her face, she suddenly lost interest in everything in front of her.

She thought, if it wasn't for grandma's birthday, she wouldn't want to deal with a group of strangers at all.And these strangers have been telling me what to do, relying on the slightest and insignificant blood relationship with me.

Meeting her eyes, the man's back went cold, and he felt a little horrified for no reason.Shen Jinrong's two gazes were like knives, as if they were not looking directly at his face, but wanted to swallow him alive.

He was inexplicably nervous, but he felt that what he said just now was not wrong. He was thinking about the descendants of his relatives!He thought of the woman crying in front of him with pear blossoms in the rain, gritted his teeth, and said slowly: "It was originally! Your father's lineage only has you as a daughter. If there is no son to inherit it, the blood line Shouldn't it be broken?"

Shen Jinrong was amused by him and Wang Dingyun's inexplicable logic before, everyone is dead, what are these people thinking?Maybe it's something to rely on?She thought of asking someone to investigate whether the man had frozen his sperm before. Although there was no result yet, she guessed that the result should be positive.

Otherwise, Wang Dingyun would not dare to find someone to threaten at this time.

She pretended not to understand the man's meaning: "What do you mean? You want to adopt your son to inherit his inheritance?"

The boy didn't raise his head, and the man's smile froze on his face.

With a cold face, Shen Jinrong continued: "Also, if you don't understand the meaning of 'widow', I suggest you look it up in the Xinhua dictionary. This is a word that only wives can use, do you understand what I mean?" She sneered After a while: "If your brain is not good, I suggest you go to see a doctor."

However, she thought, even if her mother didn't divorce him, she probably wouldn't want to be called that person's widow, right?

The man stopped talking, and other relatives began to smooth things over.

— as if nothing had happened.

The smell of food and wine permeated the air, the blushing appearance of the people next to him drinking, and the words that she said from time to time that she didn't like or even disgusted.

Shen Jinrong sighed secretly in her heart, she suddenly felt suffocated, and her brain felt dizzy due to lack of oxygen.She thought, maybe she was not suitable for such an occasion.

Yan He saw that her sister replied that she had annoying relatives. She held her phone and thought for a while, and realized that she had never encountered any particularly annoying relatives.She remembered what Ms. He said to herself during the Chinese New Year, so she sent it to her sister exactly: "A relative is just a friend you will know as soon as you are born..."

After typing half of the words in the dialog box, Yan He suddenly wanted to send a voice to his sister.She thought that when she was in a bad mood, she didn't want to see people post a lot of words.

The puppy cleared his throat, and pressed the voice bar below to send a message to his sister.She wanted her voice to sound gentle but powerful, and it would be better if it could make her sister feel happier: "Sister, relatives are just friends you have known since birth, if you don't like them, don't associate with them Now, don't embarrass yourself."

After the WeChat message was sent, there was a "swoosh", which was particularly obvious in the office where there was almost no one at lunch time.Yan He subconsciously covered his mouth, looked around guiltily, and felt relieved after confirming that he was the only one in the office.

My sister should not have time to listen now, right?

Yan He sat back and shook his legs.

Tomorrow is the weekend!Do you want to meet your sister?

After this not-so-good lunch, Shen Jinrong went to the front desk to pay the bill. Then, she took the remaining half of the cake, helped Grandma Shen to bid farewell to all relatives, and got into her car with grandma .

Sitting in the driver's seat, Shen Jinrong put on her seat belt, but she didn't drive in a hurry, she just watched those people standing at the intersection and stopped the car, and sighed softly.

Grandma Shen looked at her, felt a little guilty, and said softly, "Rongrong, I didn't expect him to say that..."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Shen Jinrong smile to herself: "It's okay, I don't take it to heart, just take it as a joke. Anyway, what he said is not important."

Is it really not important?Grandma Shen looked at Shen Jinrong's profile and thought so.She worried that her granddaughter would recall bad memories, but she couldn't ask.

How could it be unimportant?

Shen Jinrong knew that at least before he completely lost hope in this world, he had always longed for his father's love.But until later, when she realized that no matter what she did or how hard she tried, she couldn't get that person's affirmation, the string that was always tight in her brain broke, and then the whole person fell into boundless pain and self-doubt .

But now, she knew that she really didn't care.She only felt angry when she heard the man say the word "widow".That woman is not worthy, but just another means to fight for inheritance.

Grandma Shen stopped talking when she saw her driving away from the spot.But she suddenly noticed that Shen Jinrong's face was flushed, as if she had drunk alcohol.

Grandma Shen let out an "oops" and asked, "Aren't you drinking? You can't drive while drinking!"

"No." Shen Jinrong looked at her face in the rearview mirror, she was indeed flushed, like an abnormal flush, but she did not drink, "Don't worry, I didn't drink, maybe it was a little hot just now .”

"Are you really okay?" Grandma Shen was still a little worried: "You are not sick, are you?"

Shen Jinrong was amused by her grandmother's words: "I don't! It's so easy to get sick, you put your heart in your stomach!" She turned the steering wheel, "I'll put the remaining half of the cake in the refrigerator for you. You have to hurry up and eat it, the weather is not too cold at the moment, if you don’t eat it for two days, it might go bad.”

Grandma Shen nodded.

"I have to go after I put you down. I recently started a project, so I have to prepare quickly."

.In the evening, Shen Jinrong fell ill.

She felt something was wrong when she was working in the afternoon.Originally, everything went smoothly, and the development of new topics was also very smooth.When she took a glass of water and was walking back to the meeting room, she suddenly felt a little unsteady when walking, and she was not as stable as before.

She raised her head, looked at the bright lights on the ceiling, staggered, and almost lost her footing.The student at the side happened to be passing by. Seeing her sloppy footsteps, she hurriedly helped her up. After confirming that she was standing still, she asked with concern, "Teacher, are you alright?"

Shen Jinrong shook his head and said: "It's okay, I just didn't stand still all of a sudden, thank you!"

After confirming that she was okay, the two passing students left.Shen Jinrong pushed open the door of the conference room, and Professor Zhao who was sitting inside looked up at her, and said in surprise, "Your face is too red, isn't it because you have a fever?"

Shen Jinrong touched his face, it was hot.Her brain was a little confused, and she actually thought that after being kissed by a child, her face was also so red?

A female professor next to her heard the sound and came over, frowned and said, "It seems to be sick." She stretched out her hand and touched Shen Jinrong's forehead, then touched her own forehead, and said firmly, "You must be sick." It's a fever! Why don't you go back and rest first, Lao Zhao and I are here, and there's nothing wrong now."

Shen Jinrong still wanted to explain a few words, but she couldn't lift up her strength and her whole body was sore.She said weakly, "I'll leave after finishing this work."

"What kind of work are you still dealing with! You seem to have a serious fever, go to the hospital quickly!" The female professor sighed: "Work is not as important as your body."

Even though he said that, Shen Jinrong still insisted on finishing the work before driving home with a weak body.Lying on the bed, she took out her mobile phone, saw the voice from the child, and tapped it.

Yan He's voice resounded in the empty house, with a gentle yet youthful voice.Shen Jinrong squinted her eyes and listened carefully to every word the child said, and even listened to every sentence she pronounced.

After the voice was played, she turned up the volume with half-opened eyes, and clicked on that voice again.

How can a child be so cute?

So cute would be foul.

Shen Jinrong played the voice again.

There's clearly a little more smoke in her house because of the line - but only a little.She soon realized that after the brief few seconds of speech, everything would go back to normal again, and her life would still be uneventful.

Shen Jinrong sniffed and turned over on the bed. She lay on the bed, trying to relieve the dizziness in her brain.She was a little dizzy and sleepy, but she still managed to send a voice message to the child.Knowing that her voice sounded a little weak now, she took a deep breath, trying to pretend that she was still full of energy.

But she was so tired that halfway through the speech, the phone fell from her hand.

"Thank you, kid, I think you—" Her voice stopped abruptly.

The author has something to say: Yan He:! ! ! !

Shen Jinrong: Sleepy, tired, hug Yan He: Here we come! ! !
