Liang Xun observed Jing Yaoâs face and saw that her eyes were red. He frowned and said, âDidnât 1 say that itâs all old news and that you donât have to care?â
Jing Yao hummed softly and placed the things back into the document bag and handed it to Liang Xun. â1 donât mind. 1 just had some mixed feelings. 1 wonder what Zhang Li will think when she sees this?â
Liang Xun casually threw the document bag aside and pulled Jing Yao to sit on the sofa beside him. Then, he opened a cabinet and took out a bag of plums. He tore it open and handed a plum to her.
âShe caused her current state. No matter what the reason is, itâs unforgivable for her to treat her biological daughter like this,â Liang Xun said calmly.
He didnât pity Zhang Li at ail. Thinking of what Jing Yao had suffered in the past, Zhang Li reaped what she sowed.
Jing Yao took over the plum in surprise. She liked these snacks the most recently. They were sour, sweet, and especially delicious.
âWhy did you prepare this in the company?â Jing Yao stuffed one into her mouth happily.m
Liang Xun said, âIâve prepared it for a long time. I prepared it before 1 asked you to come to the company for the first time. There were all kinds of flavors, but you didnât agree at that time.â
Liang Xun told the truth, but Jing Yao somehow heard a trace of grievance in his tone.
She brought a plum to Liang Xunâs mouth. âHere, Iâll give you one. Donât be angry.â
She wanted him to calm down with just a plum?
Liang Xun opened his mouth and took it, his thin lips brushing past Jing Yaoâs fair fingers casually.
Jing Yao hurriedly retracted her hand and went away with her head lowered. She looked like she didnât care at all, but her ears were actually red.
Liang Xun was in a good mood and felt that todayâs plum seemed to be sweeter than usual.
âShould I get someone to bring Zhang Li over?â Liang Xun asked Jing Yao, who was still pretending to be a quail with her head lowered.
Jing Yao nodded quickly.
She could be shy for so long when he only touched her fingertips? Liang Xun chuckled and sent a voice message for Gu Yu to bring Zhang Li over from the lounge.
Zhang Li followed Gu Yu to the Presidentâs office, feeling a little nervous.
Yesterday, when she said that she would think of a way, Jing Yuan said that she could plead with Liang Xun. After all, no matter what, Liang Xun was her son-in-law now. He would definitely give her, his mother-in-law, some face.
She was not confident and wanted Jing Mo or Jing Yuan to accompany her, but Jing Mo slammed the door and left. Jing Yuan felt uncomfortable, so she could only come alone with the birthday gift that the guests gave to Jing Yuan yesterday.
âEat less. Your teeth will ache from eating too much.â Liang Xunâs voice came through the crack in the door.
Jing Yao wheedled, âCan 1 eat two more?â
Liang Xun seemed to sigh softly, with a helpless and doting tone.
Even if she did not see the situation inside, she could roughly guess.
Zhang Li was a little dazed for a moment. She hadnât seen Jing Yao for more than three months. In her impression, Jing Yao wasnât like this. In the past, she would do whatever she said to please her.
However, Jing Yao went home and caused a scene the last time she asked her to accompany Wang Ke. At that time, Jing Yao looked like she had a heart full of sorrow.
At that time, she was only concerned about being happy. Her precious eldest daughter could finally marry Wen Chen as she wished and she didnât pay attention to Jing Yao at all. It was quite strange that she could remember Jing Yaoâs expression at that time now.
The door was opened. Jing Yao, who was eating plums and watching a movie on the sofa, looked up. Seeing that it was her, Jing Yao didnât have any expression and didnât greet her.
Zhang Li looked at Liang Xun uneasily.
Liang Xun was sitting at his desk dealing with work. He only glanced at her indifferently when he saw her, making Zhang Li even more uncertain.
âYaoyao.â Zhang Li still chose to greet Jing Yao first. Although she wasnât close to this daughter, she raised her herself after all, so she wasnât afraid of her.
Unlike Liang Xun. Although she was considered Liang Xunâs elder now, Liang Xunâs cold gaze could make her tremble.
Jing Yao answered vaguely with a plum in her mouth, but she still didnât call her.
In the past, no matter what Zhang Li did, Jing Yao would always fantasize about getting closer to Zhang Li. She hoped that Zhang Li would care about her as much as she cared about Jing Yuan. However, she had completely given up ever since Wang Ke.
If she did not escape that night, her life would be ruined.
Zhang Li forced a smile and placed the gift on the table. âHappy birthday, Yaoyao. Why didnât you tell Mom about your marriage?â
Jing Yao didnât say anything. Liang Xun stood up and walked to Jing Yaoâs side.. He said calmly, âMadam Zhang, are you here to question my wife today?â
