Liang Shi immediately grabbed his bag and hurried outside. Because the other woman's skirt was a very eye-catching color, she could be seen at a glance. Liang Shi called out from behind, "Madam."
The other person stopped and turned around.
Liang Shi ran over quickly, "Madam, here's your bag."
The other person was taken aback, then smiled helplessly after a long pause: "I had completely forgotten about it, thank you, young lady."
Liang Shi shook his head: "It's nothing."
The lady's voice was also very gentle, like a flowing spring, which made people feel happy.
Liang Shi said, "Please check if anything is missing, but I haven't touched anything."
"There are no valuables here," the other person said with a gentle smile. "Thank you for your help."
Liang Shi smiled.
The other person stared at Liang Shi for a while, then asked, "Young lady, are you married?"
Liang Shi: "?"
"Ah..." Liang Shi coughed softly, "It's settled."
The other person was clearly a little disappointed: "Okay."
As soon as she finished speaking, someone came running over, "Auntie."
Liang Shi looked up and met the other person's gaze. She was taken aback: "Yan Lin?"
Yan Lin was also stunned, but he had to rummage through his memory to remember, "Liang Shi?"
Liang Shi nodded: "Hello."
The woman caught in the middle was stunned. "You two know each other?"
Liang Shi spoke first: "Not really, I only acted in a movie with Yan Xi."
Yan Lin echoed, "Yes."
The woman thought for a moment, then smiled. "Alright, that's fate. I didn't bring my business card today, so I won't give it to you. However, my surname is Zhu, so I should be a generation older than you. You can call me Aunt Zhu."
The woman reached out her hand to her.
Yan Lin, who was standing to the side, was dumbfounded.
this……?
Chapter 141
Yan Lin looked at Liang Shi from the side, unable to hide the surprise in her eyes.
She probably didn't expect Zhu Mingqi to make someone she was meeting for the first time call her "auntie".
For many people, this is a relationship they would kill to achieve.
Zhu Mingqi isn't this kind to everyone.
Especially people you're meeting for the first time.
This struck Yan Lin as bizarre.
Zhu Mingqi ignored her reaction and continued to say to Liang Shi, "Miss Liang, please continue to see the exhibition. Thank you for today."
Liang Shi nodded: "Okay."
After saying that, Zhu Mingqi and Yan Lin turned and left.
She stood there for a while, and couldn't help but sigh again, "Aunt Zhu's demeanor is so good, much better than many celebrities."
Prior to this, Liang Shi thought Yang Jiani was the person with the best demeanor.
Because Yang Jiani studied opera, she has always maintained a very good figure and demeanor.
Even though her eyes were always gloomy, one could not deny her poise.
Not everyone can wear a cheongsam with style.
Aunt Zhu's demeanor was even better than Yang Jiani's.
Moreover, despite being in a superior position, she doesn't have any condescending attitude at all; it's very comfortable to talk to her.
Most importantly, Liang Shi felt that she looked very familiar.
I don't know where I've seen it before.
When Liang Shi came downstairs, he suddenly realized that Aunt Zhu looked a bit like Shen Hui, especially her mouth.
No wonder... Yan Lin called her aunt.
Everything fits together.
However, Liang Shi was only guessing and not certain.

Meanwhile, Yan Lin was carrying Zhu Mingqi's bag when Zhu Mingqi asked her, "Hasn't Ahui arrived yet?"
“She has something to do at the hospital.” Yan Lin bowed respectfully. “It’s flu season right now, and she can’t leave the hospital.”
Zhu Mingqi was taken aback, then sighed helplessly: "Why are you still covering for her?"
Yan Lin laughed and said, "Auntie, no, Ah Hui really has something to do."
Zhu Mingqi glanced at her sideways: "She came out of my belly, how could I not know her? She must be upset that I'm setting you up again, so she doesn't want to come."
Yan Lin said helplessly, "You're wrong about that. Ah Hui really doesn't care about such things."
Zhu Mingqi scoffed, "If you ask me, she just hasn't let go of that... what was it called again?"
Yan Lin reminded him: "Zhao Xuning."
“Yes, it’s her.” Zhu Mingqi said, “I don’t know what her good points are, but she’s so infatuated with Ahui. I should have known better than to let her study medicine. She could have studied finance like you and helped Fenghe with her studies.”
Yan Lin spoke up for Shen Hui, saying, "They started dating in college, and it was Hui's first love, so of course she can't let go."
“That’s just because she hasn’t found someone better yet,” Zhu Mingqi said. “I advised her back then that if she liked someone, she shouldn’t break up, but she insisted on breaking up, and then she stopped looking for someone else. I really don’t understand you young people.”
Yan Lin: "..."
As Zhu Mingqi looked at the paintings, she said, "Just like these paintings, I can hardly appreciate them anymore."
Yan Lin said, "These are all painters that are popular among the new generation of young people."
“Yes,” Zhu Mingqi said, “Trends only last for a short time, and our era is already over.”
Yan Lin was an honest person and not very good at flattery, so he listened to her quietly.
After a while, Yan Lin couldn't contain his curiosity and asked, "Auntie, do you know that person from earlier?"
Zhu Mingqi stopped right in front of Chen Mian's painting and remarked, "This painting is quite unique."
"Are you talking about Liang Shi?" Zhu Mingqi asked again.
Yan Lin nodded: "Yes."
"It's the first time I've met her," Zhu Mingqi said. "But she's quite pretty. My Ah Hui likes pretty people, right? Especially her eyes, they look a lot like my eldest son's, don't they? They even look a bit like a couple. I thought I could introduce her to my Ah Hui, maybe she'll forget about that Ning guy."
"Zhao Xuning," Yan Lin reminded him again.
“Hmm, I can never remember that girl’s name,” Zhu Mingqi said. “But I remember her face. She was really pretty, no wonder my Ah Hui likes her.”
Yan Lin remained silent, secretly sending a message to Shen Hui: "If you don't come soon, your mother will marry you off."
Zhu Mingqi saw this and warned in a low voice, "Don't you dare tell Shen Hui. It's just an idea I've come up with, I haven't even put it into practice yet."
Yan Lin put away his phone and immediately said, "No..."
“Other girls are all married now,” Zhu Mingqi said with a hint of disappointment. “My Ah Hui isn’t destined for that.”
Yan Lin coughed softly, "I'm still here."
"Don't think I don't know." Zhu Mingqi rolled her eyes at her. "You and Ahui can team up to lie to us. You can't lie about feelings."
Yan Lin: "..."
“If you like someone, even if you cover your mouth, it will still show in your eyes.” Zhu Mingqi laughed at her: “You and Ahui each have someone they like. You know each other so well, but you don’t have any feelings for each other. It’s impossible for you to get together. Of course, I have to find someone else for my Ahui.”
Yan Lin: "..."
Yan Lin chuckled awkwardly, "You're so knowledgeable."
"Of course," Zhu Mingqi said. "I've been in relationships before."
"I never knew Uncle Shen was so romantic when he was young," Yan Lin teased her. "Your relationship has remained as good as ever for decades."
"It's not with him." Zhu Mingqi stood in front of Chen Mian's painting without leaving, and finally said, "Buy this painting, I'll hang it in my study when I get back."
“Okay,” Yan Lin said.
Zhu Mingqi continued, "Your Uncle Shen is the same dull and taciturn man he has been for decades, like a fool, old-fashioned and boring."
Yan Lin: "..."
“Isn’t my eldest son just like him? He’s such a nice young lady, and he’s already engaged.” Zhu Mingqi said with emotion, “He doesn’t even contact his fiancée. She’s an Alpha, and she never takes the initiative. They go out for meals every few days, and I have to have someone make the reservations. No wonder the young lady from the Gu family doesn’t want to marry him and keeps dragging it out.”
Yan Lin had no say in these matters.
Although Zhu Mingqi is very easygoing, she is still Mrs. Shen.
Everyone in Haizhou City knows that Shen and Gu are two powerful figures, comparable to each other.
The Yan family is subordinate to these two families.
If it weren't for her friendship with Shen Hui, she wouldn't have had the opportunity to accompany Zhu Mingqi to the art exhibition.
The Shen family members are all of good character; they never look down on anyone, and they will even lend a helping hand to those they like.
It's also simply about judging the other person's character.
Yan Lin, however, could not be without self-awareness.
The marriage between the Shen and Gu families was not something she could comment on.
Yan Lin remained silent.
