"Hello, Young Master Xu," Ji Zijing greeted Xu Jingchen graciously. Although she felt shy, she did not show it on her face. She knew that a soldier like Xu Jingchen did not like pretentious women.
Yes, Xu Jingchen did not like pretentious women, but he still did not look her in the eye. "Hello, Miss Ji," he replied indifferently.
"Jing Chen, have you been busy lately?" Mrs. Ji asked. She had been waiting anxiously for Lady Xu's news, so when she saw Xu Jingchen, she could not help but take the initiative.
"Yes! I still have work to do later, "Xu Jingchen said.
"Then you must be busy! By the way, when are you free? Why don't we have a meal together? "Mrs. Ji asked. Her intention was obvious.
"It's not appropriate for a man like me to attend a gathering of women, so you can eat with my mother." Xu Jingchen knew what Mrs. Ji meant, but he pretended not to know.
"Your mother and I are good friends. We are not strangers, so there's nothing inappropriate about it. Besides, I also want to ask you for a favor! Zijing just came back and doesn't have many friends, so I'd like to ask you to bring her to meet more people, "Mrs. Ji said.
"Mrs. Ji, I'm very busy with work. I don't usually have time for gatherings. Do you think I'm a playboy who only knows how to eat and play? Besides, the people I hang out with are all men. Miss Ji is a girl. Shouldn't you be making friends with other girls? Mrs. Ji, you want me to bring Miss Ji to mingle with a bunch of men. People who don't know better will think that Miss Ji is a playboy! Mrs. Ji, do you not care about Miss Ji's reputation? "No matter how well-educated Xu Jingchen was, he could not help but mock Mrs. Ji.
Upon hearing this, Madam Ji and Ji Zijing's faces darkened. Why did Xu Jinchen misunderstand her even though she didn't mean it that way?
Ji Zijing could tell that Xu Jingchen was doing it on purpose. He must know what her mother meant.
Could it be that he really didn't like her at all?
"Jing Chen, you've misunderstood …" Mrs. Ji couldn't tell that Xu Jingchen had done it on purpose, so she was worried that he had misunderstood Ji Zijing, so she tried to explain herself.
However, before he could explain, he was interrupted by a girl, "Yo! I've come at the wrong time! "
Zi Beiying arrived with Mengda and Nan. However, as soon as she opened the car door, she saw Xu Jingchen talking to Mrs. Ji and her daughter. She couldn't help feeling annoyed and mocked them.
Xu Jingchen's face darkened. It was all because of this mother and daughter pair. Zi Beiying had misunderstood them again.
Since Zi Beiying had told them that she was the younger sister of Xu Jingchen's friend, they didn't think too much about it.
"No, you came at the right time. Let's go in!" Xu Jingchen immediately left Madam Ji and her daughter behind and went straight to Zi Beiying.
"They seem to have something to say to you. I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to leave just like that!" Zi Beiying said, glancing at Madam Ji and her daughter. "Why don't you finish talking to them first? I'll go in first."
Zi Beiying pretended to be reasonable, but if Xu Jinchen listened carefully, he could tell that she was being sarcastic, which was directed at Xu Jinchen.
However, Xu Jingchen obviously saw through it, so he immediately explained, "I don't have anything to say to them. I'm not close to them anyway."
"Hmph! It has nothing to do with me. " Zi Beiying said arrogantly and walked straight in, ignoring Xu Jingchen.
However, although she didn't seem to care, she was quite happy in her heart.
Although she was a little angry at first and even mocked Xu Jingchen, she wasn't angry in her heart, because she knew that these two women were shameless enough to talk to Xu Jingchen.
Because of his upbringing, Xu Jingchen had to go along with them.
However, what he said just now was not giving the other party any face.
After Zi Beiying walked in, Xu Jingchen immediately followed her in without even looking at Madam Ji and her daughter.
Madam Ji and her daughter's faces darkened when they heard Xu Jingchen's words. They didn't expect that Xu Jingchen would be so rude to them.
Moreover, this time, they finally saw the relationship between Xu Jingchen and Zi Beiying. Although they didn't look like a couple, it wasn't as simple as they made it out to be.
"Mom, I don't think he's interested in me anymore. The few times we've met, he's never looked me in the eye. Judging from his feelings for that woman, it's obvious that he likes her," Ji Zijing said dejectedly as she bit her lower lip.
She really liked Xu Jingchen. Although she was snobbish, Xu Jingchen was very important to her.
Therefore, when she realized that she didn't have a chance anymore and that Xu Jingchen already had someone he liked, she felt very sad and unwilling.
Even so, she didn't know what to do.
Although she was outstanding in terms of family background, appearance, education, and career to her friends, she couldn't help but feel inferior. However, she couldn't find a sense of superiority in front of Xu Jinchen, because Xu Jinchen's family background, appearance and job were better than hers.
"I'll ask Lady Xu what's going on," Madam Ji said unwillingly. She immediately took out her phone and called Lady Xu.
Not to mention that Xu Jingchen had a good family background, good looks, and good abilities, even if Xu Jingchen only had a good family background, average looks, and was a freeloader, she would still choose Xu Jingchen to be her son-in-law.
This was because good looks couldn't make a living. If he was capable but didn't have a good family background, who knew what he would do in the future?
If he had a good family background, he would be able to live a good life even if he didn't have to work hard.
Soon, Lady Xu picked up the phone. When she received Madam Ji's call, Lady Xu felt a little guilty. After all, she hadn't told Madam Ji that Xu Jingchen already had someone he liked.
Since Madam Ji called her this time, she should tell her. Otherwise, it wouldn't be good if they became estranged.
"Lady Xu! What are you doing? "Madam Ji asked.
"I'm at home," Lady Xu said. "Oh, Madam Ji, there's something I need to apologize to you about."
"What is it?"
Hearing that, Madam Ji's heart skipped a beat. She immediately thought of Xu Jingchen. Did Xu Jingchen really have someone he liked? Was there really no hope for her daughter?
