If not for the fact that he knew that Li Jing was a very lively woman, Xiao Zheng would have thought that the charming Aunt Jing was trying to seduce him.
Smiling and shaking his head, Xiao Zheng respectfully invited Li Jing downstairs.
One could imagine that Li Jing still had a rather lively childlike heart after following the inflexible and domineering Ye Yuhua for so many years. How naughty and mischievous she was when she was young.
Twenty years ago, when she went up the mountain to cultivate, this world had already undergone earth-shattering changes. Li Jing did not hide her curiosity towards this world. Eat the best food, stay in the best hotels. Wear the most fashionable clothes. In the car, Li Jing's words of "fortunately, you are not completely old" made Xiao Zheng feel emotional.
That's right.
At Li Jing's age, she could still play around freely. At the very least, no one would think that she was old and indecent.
It could be seen that Li Jing was currently living a very happy and comfortable life.
Xiao Zheng had wanted to arrange for a special restaurant to entertain Li Jing, but the latter suggested to have a meal at Longfeng Restaurant.
"I've long heard that your Longfeng Restaurant is very high-class and ordinary people can't enter." Li Jing, who was sitting beside Xiao Zheng at the back, smiled. "I also have to live the life of an upper-class person."
Mo Feng did not know Li Jing, but he could see that Xiao Zheng was very respectful towards this middle-aged woman, even a little fearful.
Therefore, he did not really understand. With Xiao Zheng's identity and status, other than a very small group of people that Xiao Zheng had to treat politely, Hua Xia could look down on everyone else. Why would he lower his stance and treat a middle-aged woman who was unknown to the public?
Mo Feng was learning, learning from Xiao Zheng's way of dealing with people.
He hoped that one day, when he stood at the same height as Xiao Zheng, he would also be able to make people unable to find fault with him.
But in reality, be it the humble and low-profile Xiao Zheng, or the condescending Lin Laoyao, or even the cowardly Shang Jingtian, or the open-minded Lu Dashan. Who had not been scolded before?
Who could be perfect and flawless?
Xiao Zheng had informed the Dragon-Phoenix Restaurant in advance. Because he was the one treating the guests, the chefs had prepared a sumptuous dinner for Xiao Zheng. As soon as Li Jing arrived at the private room, a table full of delicious food was waiting for her.
"Not bad."
At the dining table, Li Jing ate heartily without the slightest air of a virtuous lady. With this attitude of hers. Back then, he definitely wouldn't be neglected by the rigid Ye Yuhua.
After the two of them ate and drank to their heart's content, Li Jing exclaimed in admiration, "Xiao Zheng. I remember when we first met, you were just a small security guard? "
Xiao Zheng smiled and nodded. "Yes. Five years have passed in the blink of an eye. "
"You've also become the brightest young man in Hua Xia's business world." Li Jing teased. "How do you feel? Does it feel good? "
Xiao Zheng laughed involuntarily and said, "I'm so busy every day that I'm half dead. What's so great about it? "
Li Jing teased, "You're still putting on an act in front of Aunt Jing?"
Li Jing took out a box of ladies' cigarettes from her bag and gracefully lit it up. Seeing Xiao Zheng staring at her with a surprised look, Li Jing smiled and said, "Why? Are you wondering why I'm smoking too?"
Xiao Zheng nodded.
"Because your Aunt Jing has always been a smoker. I only quit smoking after I became a monk. "Li Jing smiled and said. "Now, haven't I returned to asceticism with Senior Sister? I don't have to hold it in anymore. I can do whatever I want. Who can still control me? "
Xiao Zheng said with a smile, "Aunt Jing is indeed a sentimental person."
"I don't dare to say whether I'm sentimental or not." Li Jing blew out a ring of smoke. "But I'm definitely living a more carefree life than most of you."
Xiao Zheng vaguely felt that Li Jing was implying something. He just looked at Li Jing with a Smile and waited for her to continue.
Seeing this, Li Jing did not hide anything. She suddenly changed the topic and said, "Xiao Zheng, you can be considered successful now. Even if you work for another ten or twenty years, the space for you to climb up is very limited. Am I right, Aunt Jing? "
Xiao Zheng nodded and said, "That's the truth."
At present, at least in Hua Xia's business world, there were only a handful of people who could surpass Xiao Zheng. Even Shang Jingtian, who had always been number two, might not be as outstanding as Xiao Zheng in terms of overall strength.
Other than Lin Laoyao, Xiao Zheng had become the most glorious big shot in Hua Xia's business world.
In fact, he was only thirty-one years old this year. He was at the prime of his life.
Who dared to estimate his future?
"Since you already have so much," Li Jing suddenly said in a deep voice. "Xiao Zheng, have you ever thought of quitting? Just like Aunt Jing, enjoying life? I know that you have been living a hard life these years and haven't really enjoyed the pleasures of life. "
Xiao Zheng laughed involuntarily and said, "Aunt Jing. "Aunt Jing, who taught you to say that?"
Li Jing's expression changed slightly as she avoided Xiao Zheng's gaze. "Am I wrong?"
"You're absolutely right." Xiao Zheng nodded.
"Then why don't you give Aunt Jing some face?" Li Jing said in a pestering manner.
Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "Of course I have to give Aunt Jing some face. I promise you that I will definitely spend more time on my family and life in the future. I will try my best not to care about things that I can. "
When Li Jing heard Xiao Zheng's perfunctory words, she couldn't help but say seriously, "Xiao Zheng, do you really have to fight to the death with Lin Chaotian? You should know that this is a decision that can't satisfy both sides. So what if I win? What if I lose? "
"It sounds like —" Xiao Zheng said slowly. "Why do I feel that you're here to be a lobbyist for Lin Chaotian?"
"That's what I'm thinking." Li Jing said with a straight face. "It's also what your mother-in-law is thinking!"
Xiao Zheng took a sip of wine and said calmly, "Aunt Jing. You know what kind of person I am. If I can live a low-profile life, how can I be a high-profile person? However, I'm already standing in this position. Even if some things have nothing to do with me, how can I stay out of it? Furthermore, I have to face these things myself. "
"If I do it, it might make your elders uncomfortable. But if I don't do it, wouldn't I be an ingrate? "Xiao Zheng retorted.
After listening to Xiao Zheng's narration, Li Jing's originally unhappy expression suddenly changed. She smiled and said, "Xiao Zheng, I know it's useless for me to persuade you. No matter what, Aunt Jing supports you. "
Xiao Zheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Aunt Jing, which of your words are true, and which are false?"
"They're all true." Li Jing elegantly took a puff of her cigarette and said slowly. "But if I were you, I would also choose the same."
Xiao Zheng nodded. His voice suddenly became gentle. "How is mother-in-law doing?"
"Not too well." Li Jing shook her head lightly. "That big net is shrinking, and time is running out."
After a pause, Li Jing's face revealed a touch of sadness. "Duke Ye's health is deteriorating day by day. He might not be able to make it past the end of the year."
It was already the tenth month of the lunar calendar. He couldn't even make it past two months?
Xiao Zheng's heart sank, and his eyes were suffused with a strong sense of sadness.
