Chapter 257 It’s okay not to listen to the news about an old friend

"It's like this. I'm a jewelry appraiser. When I see beautiful jewelry, I can't help but want to appreciate it."

"What you both wear looks beautiful, so I wanted to take a photo as a souvenir."

Xu Haoran's mother knew that she was making things difficult for others by asking like this.

But she really likes these jewelry.

Originally, her family was also in the jewelry business, and she had been exposed to it since she was a child.

When you see such beautiful jewelry, how can you be worthy of yourself if you don’t take a photo?

"Take a photo, you can take one for us." Dong Mingjun looked at Mrs. Shen, "Haitang, do you mind taking a photo?"

"I would like to take a photo with you so that I can see it after I return to Mei Country."

Seeing that Dong Mingjun agreed, Shen Haitang did not refuse.

The only requirement was: "You can take photos, but our photos cannot be used for commercial purposes, and it is best not to show them to others. You can enjoy them yourself."

"Or take pictures of our jewelry alone, without taking pictures of people."

"If you can't do it, and I find out, I will ask a lawyer to sue you."

The old lady's attitude was very tough, which even surprised Shen Lu.

But there's nothing wrong with her request.

Xu Haoran's mother nodded: "Don't worry, I just appreciate it privately and will never show it out."

"I will not show your photos to others without your consent."

"I will keep it privately."

Xu Haoran’s mother was sincere and both old ladies agreed.

Both of them are old men. They can tell at a glance whether others have schemes or not.

This mother Xu has an appreciation for jewelry in her eyes, and the two old ladies can still tell them apart.

In order to record her son's college entrance examination, Xu Haoran's mother specially brought a camera, and this time it finally came in handy.

The useless son walked out of the examination room just like that, without taking pictures.

I still took more pictures of the two old ladies, and even took a group photo with the two old ladies, asking Shen Lu to help take two pictures.

After taking the photos, Xu Haoran's mother also expressed that she would treat them to dinner.

Mrs. Shen refused directly.

When old friends meet again, they want their own space. Being invited to dinner by a stranger makes it difficult for them to chat and how embarrassing it is.

Xu Haoran's mother also knew what was going on, thinking that Shen Lu would be the number one scholar with such good grades. She would give her a big red envelope when her family held a banquet for the number one scholar.

Mrs. Shen and Dong Mingjun took Shen Lu to Youranju.

Shen Mingguang missed Lin Rou who happened to pick up Shen Sisi.

After thinking deeply, Shen Mingguang was still looking around, and even Shen Du was looking inside the school, obviously absent-minded.

Shen Sisi couldn't bear it: "Dad, who are you looking for?"

"Have you seen your sister? Why haven't you seen her come out yet after you handed in the papers?"

Shen Mingguang didn't hide it at all. He was just waiting for Shen Lu and even invited Mrs. Shen to have dinner with him.

Shen Shensi curled her lips, her displeasure was obvious.

Today is also the end of her college entrance examination. Can't the family just care about her?

"She should have been out a long time ago. I heard that she handed in every exam in advance and was the first to leave school."

Like to be in the limelight, right?

Shen Lu has been stealing the show these two days.

Shen Shensi didn't say anything harsh, but that's what she really thought in her heart.

"Then they have left?" Shen Mingguang frowned, he missed it.

Do you want to call Shen Lu now?

Shen Mingguang hesitated.

Shen Shensi had already grabbed Lin Rou's arm: "Mom, where should we go to eat? I'm already hungry."

"Thank you for your hard work, Sisi."

Lin Rou touched her daughter's hair.

"Mingguang, didn't you say you had reserved a private room at Youranju before? Shall we go there now?"

Shen Mingguang nodded: "Okay, go ahead and let me make a call."

Shen Lu was already at Youranju after receiving Shen Mingguang's call.

"Uncle Shen, what's the matter?"

Shen Lu was very polite to Shen Mingguang, the kind of politeness that would repel people thousands of miles away.

Shen Mingguang felt uncomfortable listening, but this was not the time to preach.

"I heard that you left the examination room early. How is it? Did you perform well?"

Shen Lu didn't ask who heard it, he just said calmly: "It's okay, just perform normally."

"Then it will definitely be no problem to get the top prize."

Shen Mingguang was satisfied upon hearing this.

This is his ideal daughter.

Instead of being like Shen Sisi, who looked bitter and resentful when he asked her how she did in the exam.

Speaking of which, Shen Mingguang and Lin Rou were actually unqualified parents.

"Where are you and grandma now? Let's have a meal together."

"Let's celebrate that you and Sisi are over with the college entrance examination. You will finally be adults."

Shen Lu remembered the last coming-of-age ceremony he held for her, and Shen Mingguang seemed to have said that she would be an adult in the future.

However, it's not interesting.

She refused directly: "My grandma and I have already arrived at the restaurant, and I'm afraid it won't be convenient for grandma to meet an old friend she hasn't seen for many years."

"Okay, congratulations in advance."

When Shen Mingguang heard Shen Lu say that the old lady met a friend, she knew that they would not be able to have this meal together.

He didn't force it. It was not easy to mend the cracks again. Shen Mingguang had a lot of patience.

On Shen Lu's side, he came out to answer the phone. The old lady was chatting with Dong Mingjun in the box, so she ran to play with Pang Luzhi.

"Haitang, why didn't you go abroad with Li Baiqing back then?"

Shen Haitang sighed: "Everyone has his own ambitions. I like life in China. This is my motherland. No matter it is devastated or war-torn, it is the place I love."

"I don't like foreign countries, just like I can't get used to eating cold food in Western restaurants."

"I like fireworks. Even if I suffered a lot of grievances during that special era, wouldn't I still survive it?"

Dong Mingjun hesitated to speak.

Old Mrs. Shen clapped her hand: "It doesn't matter, I don't want to hear about his life after going abroad, and you don't have to tell me."

Dong Mingjun didn't expect Shen Haitang to say this, but when he thought about it, he felt that it fit her character very well.

"If you don't want to hear it, I won't say it."

Shen Haitang smiled slightly.

There has been no news for many years, and the sudden news is worse than not knowing.

Dong Mingjun also sighed: "Your temper has not changed at all over the years. In fact..."

"People change. You don't know what I've been through over the years."

Shen Haitang expected that Dong Mingjun had not inquired about her information yet, so she took the initiative and said, "My son and daughter-in-law will leave me a granddaughter like Xiaolu."

"The fawn was picked up by the wrong person and was found only recently."

"This child is destined to be with me. He doesn't even acknowledge his birth when he comes home."

"She looks like her dad and her mom..."

Speaking of Shen Lu, Shen Haitang talks a little more.

But I also heard that Dong Mingjun was confused.

"Wait a minute, how could I hold the wrong child?"
