"Uncle Zhuo, I’m sorry you had to see that."

Shen Nian smiled helplessly. If she were traveling alone, she could have just stuffed all this into her space. But as it happened, Zhuo Jiangtao was with her. She couldn’t just make everything vanish right in front of him, could she?

"Not at all, not at all. It’s perfectly normal. If our Jiayin were going on a long trip someday, we’d be pretty much the same! Here, let your Uncle help you carry these."

After saying that, Zhuo Jiangtao picked up the largest bags, leaving only a few small ones for Shen Nian to carry herself.

"Thanks, Uncle Zhuo. I appreciate the help."

Fortunately, the car went directly to the provincial capital, where He Hongming had already arranged for someone to pick the two of them up.

Besides, Shen Nian was now an important partner of He Hongming’s. Even without that connection, with his family’s patriarch in the picture, He Hongming, as her ’uncle,’ was obligated to take good care of her.

The car took Shen Nian and Zhuo Jiangtao directly to the He Family’s residence. This wasn’t Shen Nian’s first visit, so she was naturally calm.

But Zhuo Jiangtao was anything but calm! He was now completely certain that the He Family Shen Nian had mentioned was indeed the prominent He Family of the provincial capital he knew of.

And judging by their attitude toward Shen Nian, it was clear that her relationship with the He Family was special—very special, in fact.

’But I’ve never heard of the Shen family or the Lu Family having such powerful relatives in the provincial capital.’

However, when he saw Shen Nian addressing those influential figures, calling one "Uncle" and another "Grandpa," Zhuo Jiangtao’s mind was in turmoil.

At that moment, Zhuo Jiangtao silently made a decision.

The He Family didn’t keep Zhuo Jiangtao for long. After they signed the supply contract and inspected the first batch of goods they had brought, He Hongming arranged for Zhuo Jiangtao to tour a supermarket. Once the tour was over, he had someone escort him back.

The only person they needed to take special care of was Shen Nian.

Shen Nian gave He Yixiong another check-up, and the results left everyone very satisfied.

"Xiao Nian, are you sure you can’t stay in the provincial capital for one more night? Do you have to leave in such a hurry?"

He Hongming had originally planned to host Shen Nian properly this time, but he hadn’t expected her to say she was taking an overnight train to B City tonight.

"That’s right, Nian. What’s the rush? Just stay with us for one more day."

"Sister Nian, don’t be in such a hurry to leave!"

The entire He Family tried to persuade Shen Nian, but once she had made up her mind, she couldn’t be easily swayed.

"Grandpa, Uncle He, Xiao Feng, my travel time to B City was set a long time ago. Besides, someone will be there to pick me up, so you don’t need to worry. I’ll come visit you all the next time I’m back."

"You really can’t stay one more day?"

Shen Nian just smiled without answering, but the He Family already knew her answer.

"Since Nian has already made up her mind, Second Son, go contact the train station and get her the most comfortable sleeper ticket. Nian, you promised. You have to come see Grandpa next time!"

"Don’t worry, Grandpa. I definitely will!"

Shen Nian didn’t refuse the He Family’s kind gesture this time. Besides, with the He Family’s connections in the provincial capital, it wouldn’t be difficult to get the most comfortable sleeper ticket.

Since she could travel more comfortably, Shen Nian certainly wasn’t one to seek out hardship.

And so, that evening, escorted by the He Family, Shen Nian boarded the train to B City.

’Lu Cheng, how are you doing now?’

’I’m coming to find you.’
