When Xu Jingchen heard this, he felt a little uncomfortable. However, they were not in a romantic relationship, so he could not insist on saying yes. Therefore, he did not refute Zi Beiying's words.
"I see! I'm sorry. I didn't know, so I misunderstood, "Mrs. Ji apologized to Zi Beiying.
"It's fine. If you have anything to say, just say it! I'll continue looking at the clothes. " Zi Beiying then turned and walked away. Gu Ning, Jing Yunyao, Mengda, and Nan followed her.
"Mrs. Ji, I still have to entertain them. Please help yourself," Xu Jingchen said. He then turned and left without paying any attention to Mrs. Ji and Ji Zijing.
Mrs. Ji did not have time to introduce Ji Zijing to Xu Jingchen. Although she felt a little uncomfortable, she did not take it to heart. After all, she had to entertain her friend's younger sister, so she could not neglect her.
"You should be relieved now, right? She's not his girlfriend, "Mrs. Ji said to Ji Zijing with a hint of ridicule.
How could she not know that her daughter liked Xu Jingchen?
She naturally hoped that her daughter would marry into a family like the Xu family.
Ji Zijing looked a little uncomfortable, but deep down, she felt a little more at ease.
"I'll give Lady Xu a call later and see what she's going to do," Mrs. Ji said.
After the incident between Mrs. Ji and Ji Zijing, the atmosphere between Xu Jingchen and Zi Beiying changed. Zi Beiying ignored Xu Jingchen and kept talking to Gu Ning. Xu Jingchen knew that Zi Beiying was angry with him, but he did not know what to say.
Mrs. Ji and Ji Zijing did not stay in the Gufan store for long. They left after meeting Xu Jingchen for a few minutes.
After they left, Mrs. Ji called Lady Xu and told Lady Xu that she saw Xu Jingchen in the Gufan store.
"What? That kid has returned to the capital?" Hearing that, Lady Xu was surprised, then displeased. "Why didn't he go home after coming back to the capital?"
"Jing Chen said that he just came back and is entertaining his friends. I don't think he has the time to come back!" Madam Ji said.
"I see!" When Lady Xu heard this, her anger dissipated. "I'll give him a call later and ask him when he's free. We'll arrange a time for him to meet Zijing. Oh right, did he have any reaction when he saw Zi Jing just now? "
"Zijing and Jing Chen haven't seen each other for a long time, so of course he wouldn't recognize Zijing. Since he has friends, I didn't want to waste his time, so I didn't introduce her to them," Madam Ji said.
"It's okay. I'll let you know when the time is confirmed," said Lady Xu.
"Okay," Madam Ji answered, then hung up the phone with satisfaction. She then said to Ji Zijing, "Lady Xu said that she'll give Jing Chen a call later and ask him when he's free. She'll arrange a time for us after confirming the time."
"Okay!" Ji Zijing couldn't wait, but she still had to wait for Lady Xu's news.
After Lady Xu hung up the phone with Madam Ji, she immediately called Xu Jingchen. Although Madam Ji said that Xu Jingchen was entertaining his friends, it wasn't inconvenient for him to pick up the phone since he was going shopping with his friends.
When Xu Jingchen saw that the call was from his mother, he knew that Madam Ji was calling his mother. He was instantly displeased, but he had to pick up the call.
"Jing Chen! When are you coming home? "Lady Xu asked eagerly as soon as the call went through.
"I don't know. I'll come back when I'm free," Xu Jingchen answered impatiently because he knew his mother's intention.
"Oh right, I have something to tell you! I … "Lady Xu said, but before she could say anything, Xu Jingchen interrupted her impatiently," I know what you want to say, but mom, don't worry about these things. If you're always like this, I don't want to go home. "
"You child, I'm doing this for your own good. You're not young anymore, but you still don't have a girlfriend! Look at Shao Ting, he already has one, "Lady Xu said angrily.
"That's because he met someone he likes! That's why I need to meet someone I like on my own! "Xu Jingchen retorted, feeling a little tired.
"Then when will you meet someone you like? Also, what's wrong with Ji Zijing? She's beautiful and has a good figure. Although her family background isn't as good as the Xu family's, it's not bad. The Xu family doesn't care about family background as long as you've been with her for a long time. Moreover, she's highly educated and capable. There's no way she's not good enough for you! "Lady Xu said.
"There are so many people better than her. Why should I like her? Let me tell you, I don't like her. So, you'd better not do these things. I don't care if you embarrass yourself, "Xu Jingchen said.
"You …" Lady Xu was suddenly angry and scolded, "Since you think there are so many people better than her, why don't you find someone better than her?"
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't find someone, she wouldn't be so worried.
Yes, Ji Zijing wasn't the best. At least, compared to Gu Ning, she was far behind. However, Xu Jingchen didn't even have a girlfriend! She felt that Ji Zijing was fine.
"I will. You just wait patiently. Okay, I still have something to do. Bye." After saying that, Xu Jingchen hung up the phone. Lady Xu was so angry that she almost smashed the phone.
At this moment, Xu Qinyin just came back from outside. When she entered the living room, she saw Lady Xu's angry face. She asked, "Aunt, what's wrong?"
"It's all because of your second older brother. I was kind enough to introduce someone to him, but he blamed me for worrying about nothing. He even said that he wouldn't go home if I introduced someone to him again. It's his fault for not being able to find someone. He's not young anymore, "Lady Xu complained. She was angry and aggrieved.
"Uh …" Xu Qinyin didn't know how to answer this question.
She naturally didn't like so-called blind dates. She also understood Xu Jingchen's resistance, but it wasn't appropriate for her to scold her aunt, so she simply didn't say anything.
