Dominant Marriage: The CEO's Overbearing Love

Chapter 19: Chapter 19 Is this A-Chen’s younger sister?

The old lady happily introduced to Shen Yanchen, "Yanchen, this is Grandma Zhang’s little granddaughter. She just came back from abroad recently. She was here for Grandma’s birthday the year before last. Do you remember?"

Shen Yanchen didn’t have any intention of being polite and said directly, "Sorry, I don’t really remember."

The smile on the woman’s face disappeared, and she said, "It’s okay, we weren’t formally introduced last time. My name is Ding Jing."

Shen Yanchen’s gaze fell on the dishes the servant brought to the table. He nodded slightly and responded with a "Hmm."

The old lady, understanding her grandson’s nature, said, "Let’s eat first, we can chat while eating." Then she glanced at Gu Qimiao with a hint of inquisitiveness in her eyes. It was probably because Ding Jing was present that she didn’t insist on asking who this girl was, to avoid any awkwardness.

There were only three sets of cutlery on the table, obviously missing Gu Qimiao’s.

When Shen Yanchen assigned the seats, he placed her where the cutlery was set. So, the old lady, somewhat unwillingly, instructed the servant, "Add another set of cutlery."

Gu Qimiao remained silent, just eating the dish in front of her. She felt she probably shouldn’t have come and seemed like an unnecessary presence...

Listening to their intermittent conversation, it seemed that Ding Jing was quite good at talking and managed to make the old lady very happy. Shen Yanchen only responded occasionally, and then quietly moved another dish towards Gu Qimiao, possibly noticing she had only been eating the dish in front of her.

Suddenly, the old lady asked with a smile, "Yanchen, what do you think of Jingjing?"

Hearing this, Gu Qimiao’s chewing paused slightly. So it was all about matchmaking Shen Yanchen. The other party looked good, came from a good family, was intellectual and gracious — the kind of woman that men liked, right?

She couldn’t help but care about his answer.

Shen Yanchen finished arranging the dishes and then replied unhurriedly, "How can I evaluate Grandma’s friend?"

The old lady gave him a playful glare, "Grandma knows you’re a smart person, don’t play dumb. Jingjing is twenty-five, an age that suits you. If you think you two can click, then let’s..."

"Grandma, you do this every time I visit. How am I supposed to dare come see you next time?"

The old lady showed a worried face, "Grandma is just anxious for you. You’re not young anymore, just like how your dad used to make people worry! Even your younger brother already has someone, and you’re still single!"

Shen Yanchen discreetly glanced at Gu Qimiao, who was eating cautiously, and said to the old lady, "When I find the right one, I’ll bring her to see you."

"What does ’right one’ mean? Jingjing has a master’s degree, similar to yours. With your experience, you could guide her for a year or two, and she could help you a lot at work. She is beautiful and would be a great match for you!"

Gu Qimiao sat there quietly, even chewing more carefully. A sense of inferiority came from nowhere. In terms of appearance, she thought she was no worse than Jingjing. But when it came to family background, how could an orphan compare? And Jingjing had a master’s degree, while she was just an art student.

No matter how outstanding she was in the art field, she couldn’t help Shen Yanchen much...

She realized that the gap between her and him was not just about distance, but so much more...

Facing the old lady’s forcefulness, Shen Yanchen remained calm, as if he was used to such situations. Before he could say anything, Ding Jing understandingly said, "Grandma, you’re being too hasty. Yanchen and I don’t know each other well enough yet. How can we adapt to each other right away? Give us some more time to get to know each other."

The old lady immediately responded happily, "Alright, Yanchen, take Jingjing out for a walk when you have time in the next few days."

Shen Yanchen directly said, "The company is quite busy."

The old lady glared at him, and Ding Jing said, "It’s okay, work is important. We can arrange it whenever he has time." Her understanding nature was even more evident.

After speaking, Ding Jing shifted her gaze to Gu Qimiao, then smiled and asked, "Is this Yanchen’s little sister? I’ve always heard that the Shen family’s little sister is very well-behaved!"
