Jing Xi got ready early in the morning. She put on the new pink dress that Shangguan ning had bought for her and was ready to go out.
âHey, Xixi, are you going to meet some handsome guy by dressing up so beautifully?â
Shangguan ning teased her daughter. She would only dress up when she saw a handsome man. She didnât pay much attention to her image, unlike Jing Yichen and Jing Rui who were always picky.
âYeah, meet a handsome guy! Mom, am I pretty? Will the handsome boy think Iâm not good-looking?â
Jing Xiâs face was full of youth and sunshine, which was unique to a little girl. She was smiling and her face was rosy. She was more lively than usual.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âMy daughter is the most beautiful girl in the world. If anyone thinks youâre not pretty, you can recommend them to family MUâs Hospital for an ophthalmologist!â
Jing Xi smiled and kissed Shangguan ning.âThis is indeed my biological mother! My mom is so pretty, so of course Iâm pretty too!â
Shangguan ning laughed too.âItâs too early to wear this dress. Itâs still a little cold. Letâs put on a coat.â
Shangguan ning would never dampen her daughterâs enthusiasm in pursuing handsome men. Jing Xi would lose interest in them in a few days anyway. She put a white coat over Jing Xi, kissed her daughterâs forehead and watched her walk away in her little leather boots. Then she turned back to Jing Yichen and said,
âThe handsome guy Xixi is talking about, is he Lou Ziling?â
Jing Yichen put on his coat and said with a smile,âWho else could it be? Xixi wasnât even this friendly to yang nuo before. It seems like she thinks Lou Ziling is more handsome than yang nuo. â
âItâs rare to see our daughter so happy. Let her be. Itâs good to have someone to play with her. Lou Ziling looks calm and steady. She doesnât look like someone who would mess around.â
Shangguan ning knew very well why Lou Ziling was with Jing Xi. It was understandable that the Lou family wanted to cooperate with the Jing family, as long as he didnât want to hurt Jing Xi.
She believed in her husbandâs vision and ability. Since he had agreed to let Lou Ziling stay with Jing Xi for so long, it meant that Lou Zilingâs character was trustworthy.
However, Jing Yichen got a call from Lou Mingyang not long after they finished talking about Lou Ziling.
After hanging up the phone, Jing Yichen smiled at Shangguan ning helplessly.âThis is great. Lou Ziling doesnât want to play with Xixi anymore!â
âWhy?â Shangguan ning asked in surprise.
âLou Mingyang didnât say it clearly, but I guess Lou Ziling doesnât want to take advantage of Xixi. He has a backbone!â
Shangguan ning laughed.âHe doesnât want to play with our daughter anymore and you still praise him? Xixi finally has a friend that she can talk to. She will be sad when she finds out that Lou Ziling is not going to play with her anymore.â
âYou are Jing Yichenâs daughter. Why would you need a friend?â
Jing Yichen smiled, but he didnât think that it was a bad thing.âAt least Xixi will know that there are no permanent friends. She will need to distinguish between her real friends and those who want to use her in the future.â
Jing Xi was sent to the racecourse by the driver. Without changing into her riding clothes, she ran into the racecourse to look for Lou Ziling, but she could not find him.
She blinked her eyes in confusion,âare we late again? Why am I always the one waiting for him? Youâre so ungentlemanly!â
Jing Xiâs bodyguard trotted to her side and whispered,ââMiss, Madam just called. She said that Lou Ziling wonât be coming. She asked me to inform you.â
Jing Xiâs eyes widened,ânot coming? Why did you do that?â
âMadam didnât say the reason.â
âGive me the phone, Iâll ask!â
Jing Xi picked up her cell phone and called Shangguan ning. She sounded a little sad.âMom, whatâs going on? why did that Lou guy suddenly decide not to come? He promised me yesterday that he would come today!â
He had already promised to teach her how to ride a horse in the future. Why did he change his mind when he was her teacher?
Shangguan ning comforted her daughter in a gentle voice.âYesterday, your father gave the Lou family a big order. Maybe Lou Ziling thought that the order was not glorious enough and won it by riding with you. He probably wanted to win the order with his own ability.â
âWhat kind of reason is that?â
Jing Xi could not accept such an explanation!
Shouldnât Jing Yichen give the order to family Lou when they were close?
Did she have to give it to someone else before Lou Ziling would continue to accompany her?
Didnât he get close to her, protect her, and stay with her for the sake of the order?
Did Lou Ziling really think that she didnât know anything?
She knew everything, but she had never said it out loud!
If her family name was not Jing, if she was not Jing Yichenâs daughter, if she was not Jing Ruiâs sister, if she had not had an unparalleled wealth behind her, Lou Ziling would not have even looked at her. Would he be willing to teach her how to ride a horse?
It wouldn ât.
âMom, we have money. We can bring wealth to the Lou family. Is it wrong?â
Jing Xiâs eyes were red. She felt very uncomfortable, as if something was blocking her heart. She couldnât vent it, nor could she describe it.
Shangguan ning felt bad when she heard her daughterâs tone. She said immediately,âOf course weâre not in the wrong! Xixi, donât be sad. Itâs a good thing that Lou Ziling doesnât want to use you to gain benefits!â
âYes, this is a good thing.â
Jing Xiâs voice was muffled, and she didnât sound like a fourteen-year-old girl at all.ââI have nothing else to attract people other than benefits. I was too na?ve to think that Lou Ziling would always be my friend after our family and the Lou family had deep cooperation!â
âDonât let your thoughts run wild, Xixi. Youâre outstanding enough yourself! Believe in mommy! When your father married me, I had nothing. He believed me even when everyone misunderstood me. In the future, youâll meet the right person, and youâll have a good friend!â
âMom, thereâs only one man like my dad in the world. Iâve liked so many people, but they didnât like me. They liked my fatherâs money. â
Jing Xiâs beautiful eyes had lost the bright light of the morning. She was a little sad.
In the past 14 years, she had been proud of her family name and that she came from the No. 1 wealthy family. Today, she realized that it was not always better to be rich.
âMom, I want to go home. Only you two truly love me. I wonât ride anymore. Iâll go home to accompany you, okay?â
âSilly girl, your father, brother, and I will always love you. Even if youâre not by my side, I will still love you. I donât need your company. You have your own path to walk.â
Shangguan ning really wanted to hold her daughter. Jing Xi had never been so vulnerable. She was always smiling and seemed to care about nothing. But in fact, she was very smart and could see through many things. She just didnât know how to say it.
âXixi, your father has introduced a friend to you. You can meet him!â
