Shocking! A Hong Kong socialite gave birth to three heirs to a wealthy family.

Chapter 55 Pregnancy symptoms are not severe

Shen Wancheng casually mentioned Shen Mei, knowing that saying it might make Shen Mei even more resentful of her, since honest advice is hard to swallow, but Shen Wancheng didn't care about Shen Mei's feelings.

Shen Wancheng knew in her heart that she and Shen Mei were not on the same path, and that their separation was inevitable; all they lacked was a reason.

In Shen Wancheng's view, Shen Mei is not a bad person. It is normal for people to be jealous and competitive. Even if Shen Mei is not jealous of her and Shen Yao, their different values ​​due to their different upbringing will inevitably lead to other rifts between them sooner or later.

This is also why Shen Wancheng and Shen Mei were very clear about their finances from the moment Shen Wancheng saved Shen Mei.

When Xu Pingtao heard Shen Wancheng say that Shen Mei didn't speak English, he remained silent for a moment before speaking.

“In Hong Kong Island, you can’t work in many industries if you don’t speak English. I originally thought of arranging positions such as receptionist or secretary in the company. The initial salary is average, but these positions can broaden your network of contacts. However, the basic requirement for these positions is that you can speak English.”

Xu Pingtao said these things because he genuinely cared about Shen Mei. If someone else had brought up such a trivial matter, Xu Pingtao would have simply handed it over to his subordinates to arrange.

Xu Pingtao would personally consider and arrange this, of course, because it was Shen Wancheng who brought it up.

Shen Wancheng was a sensible person, and she was genuinely grateful to Xu Pingtao.

"Thank you, Grandpa, for your kind consideration for Shen Mei. I will arrange for Shen Mei to attend English classes regularly."

As Shen Wancheng finished speaking, she glanced at Shen Mei and noticed that Shen Mei was looking at her expectantly. It seemed that the job arrangement had fallen through.

Shen Wancheng thought for a moment and said to Xu Pingtao on the other end of the phone, "Shen Mei used to work as a chef's assistant."

Xu Pingtao said, “I own 50% of a restaurant in Central. It’s only two kilometers from where you live. You can walk there easily. Let Shen Mei work there as a kitchen helper. The chef is an old friend of mine. He has loved the culinary profession all his life. Once Shen Mei meets his requirements and learns a lot from him, she can be the head chef in any Chinese restaurant.”

When asking someone to arrange a job, you certainly can't be picky about whether the job is good or bad.

Furthermore, Shen Wancheng felt that Xu Pingtao's arrangement of this job for Shen Mei was excellent, as it matched Shen Mei's abilities and had a clear development plan.

Moreover, someone whom Xu Pingtao calls an old friend and who runs a restaurant with him must not be an ordinary chef.

Xu Pingtao's words implied that Shen Mei should become the chef's apprentice, but he didn't say it explicitly, which means he couldn't interfere with the man's decision and Shen Mei had to work hard herself. This also shows that the chef was no ordinary person.

Therefore, Shen Wancheng did not ask Shen Mei's opinion again and directly agreed to the work arranged by Xu Pingtao.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Wancheng said to Shen Mei.

“My grandfather and his old friend opened a restaurant in Central. His friend is the head chef of the restaurant. You can go there first as a kitchen helper to learn cooking skills. After you have learned, you will definitely be able to become the head chef or open your own restaurant.”

Shen Mei was stunned for a moment before replying with a single word.

"it is good."

"Yes, my grandfather told his friend that this matter will take time. You can go over tomorrow."

Shen Mei nodded and agreed.

Shen Wancheng could tell from Shen Mei's expression that she was not very willing.

But Shen Wancheng had already told Shen Mei what Xu Pingtao had said to her. Shen Mei herself couldn't understand it, so she had no obligation to remind Shen Mei.

Besides, even if Shen Wancheng made it clear, Shen Mei might still feel that this job is too hard and tiring. After all, this job is not as worthwhile as Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao earning millions of dollars just by recognizing each other as relatives.

Shen Wancheng stood up, intending to go back to her room to rest for a while, and then go to the library in the afternoon to read some books and continue to maintain her image as a top student.

At this moment, Shen Mei called out to Shen Wancheng.

"Sister Wancheng."

Shen Wancheng frowned, thinking that Shen Mei was about to refuse the work arranged by Xu Pingtao.

"Hmm? Is there anything else?"

"I want to tell you, I..."

Shen Mei called out to Shen Wancheng, intending to tell her that she had inadvertently let Gu Jinxing know about Shen Wancheng's pregnancy yesterday, but she couldn't bring herself to say it.

Yesterday, she really tried hard to suppress her jealousy, but she couldn't help it.

Shen Mei always felt that Shen Yao was much softer-hearted than Shen Wancheng, and told Shen Wancheng that she was not sure Shen Wancheng would forgive her.

So Shen Mei changed her mind before she could finish speaking.

"Um... I think your English is very good, could you teach me?"

Shen Wancheng felt a little better after realizing that he wasn't refusing to work.

“I can speak English myself, but I don’t know how to teach others.”

Shen Wancheng looked at the Filipino maid who had been tidying and cleaning since she arrived at their home and said, "You can learn from TV first, and then communicate more with this Filipino maid, which should be helpful."

Shen Mei's smile froze slightly as she forced a smile and said, "Okay."

"Okay, I'm going back to my room to sleep for a while."

After Shen Wancheng left the living room, Shen Mei sat on the sofa for a long time, and no one knew what she was thinking.

*

Lunch was prepared by the new Filipino maid.

Curry potato stew with beef brisket, steamed fish, and a stir-fried vegetable dish.

These dishes suited Shen Wancheng's taste perfectly, and she ate quite a bit without feeling nauseous.

Shen Wancheng concluded that she probably only couldn't stand overly greasy pork, but could accept other meats, indicating that her morning sickness symptoms were not severe.

This put Shen Wancheng at ease. She had heard of many pregnant women who suffered from severe morning sickness, unable to eat anything, constantly vomiting, losing weight instead of gaining it in the first few months of pregnancy, and the fetus suffering from nutritional deficiencies and poor development. In more serious cases, it could even lead to miscarriage.

Shen Wancheng is carrying three babies. If her pregnancy symptoms get severe, she'll suffer a lot.

Fortunately, it seems she is doing well for now.

Shen Wancheng explained to the Filipino maid that she couldn't see pork, and then told Shen Mei that she would pick up Shen Yao at her residence in the afternoon and they would go to choose a dress together.

Shen Mei lives with Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao. The banquet was held for the two of them to recognize their relatives, so Shen Mei definitely had to attend. Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao didn't have any formal attire, so Shen Mei certainly didn't either.

Shen Mei's gaze towards Shen Wancheng conveyed her desire to go out with Shen Wancheng, but Shen Wancheng pretended not to notice and opened the door to leave.

Finally, Shen Mei couldn't help but speak up.

"Wancheng, can I go out with you?"

Shen Wancheng did not want to bring Shen Mei along.

She thought for a moment and said, "I'll come back to pick you up later, and we'll go pick up Yao Yao together."

Since Shen Wancheng had said that, it was obvious that she didn't want to tell Shen Mei what she was going to do that afternoon. Shen Mei could only smile and say, "Okay, I'll wait for my cousin at home."

The driver arranged by Xu Pingtao returned after Shen Yao was dropped off at the horse farm and continued to wait downstairs at Shen Wancheng's building.

Since Shen Wancheng can't take the bus when she goes out now, and Xu Pingtao has arranged a dedicated driver, Shen Wancheng didn't refuse.

Shen Wancheng got into the car and told the driver she wanted to go to the library.

After starting the car, the driver said to Shen Wancheng.

“Miss, this morning when the Second Miss went out, she had an argument with Mr. Gu from the Gu family. I told Mr. Xu about it, and he asked me to tell you.”

Shen Wancheng was taken aback when she heard this.

How did Shen Yao end up running into Gu Jinxing on her way to work?

The driver noticed the confusion in Shen Wancheng's eyes and added, "The argument started downstairs. Mr. Gu was sitting in the lobby waiting area, probably waiting for someone. When Miss Gu saw him, she went straight over and said a few words to him."

Although Shen Wancheng wasn't present, she could guess that what Shen Yao said was definitely unpleasant to hear.

Shen Yao must have thought that Gu Jinxing was waiting for her downstairs, which is why she rushed over to confront him.

This is very much in line with Shen Yao's personality.

Shen Yao is so protective of her sister. Gu Jinxing is blind and lame. Even if he is the biological father of the child in Shen Wancheng's belly, Shen Yao will not acknowledge Gu Jinxing and will look down on him.

Shen Wancheng calmly replied to the driver, "Yes, I understand."

In her heart, she wondered if Gu Jinxing was really waiting for her downstairs.

How can one get rid of this persistent ghost?
