Chapter 352 - 352: Ding Jing VS Zhou Li
“Jingjing, we all know that you treat your Brother Jian Tan very well, but not all ‘good intentions’ in this world will be accepted! We have to learn to see if these feelings will burden the other party,” Zhou Li said.
Seeing that Ding Jing still had an aggrieved and puzzled expression, she continued, “There’s nothing wrong with liking someone, but you should understand that mutual feelings in this world are very precious and rare! You can’t force others to like you. You might not understand what Auntie is saying now, but you should understand when you experience it more in the future.”
Zhou Li’s words were actually very sincere. It could even be said that she was trying her best.
However, even like this, it was very difficult for Ding Jing to wake up even if the naked truth was placed in front of her. If the obsession of the human heart was so easy to resolve, it would not be called an obsession!
Ding Jing looked at Zhou Li in surprise when she heard that, as if she could not understand why Zhou Li was no longer on her side. “Ah… Auntie! Why are you speaking up for others instead? Haven’t you always liked me? You and Xia Wei only met for the first time today. Why? Is that really what you think?”
Ding Jing’s eyes were already red as she spoke, as if she had suffered a huge grievance.
Zhou Li couldn’t bear it, but this didn’t stop her from speaking up for her son. She looked into Ding Jing’s eyes and said softly, “There’s no reason. It’s just that Jian Tan really likes her. 1 like you very much, but this doesn’t mean that Jian Tan should make any sacrifices. He’s Auntie’s son. Do you understand Jingjing?”
As Zhou Li spoke, she felt a little tired. After sighing tiredly, she continued, “You’re tired after a busy day. I’ll get the chauffeur to send you home. Your mother must be waiting for you at home!”
After saying that, Jian Tan’s mother raised her hand and gestured to the butler, Uncle Jian, who was beside her, to invite Ding Jing out.
Seeing this, Ding Jing was furious. She was about to say something when Uncle Jian interrupted her gently. “Miss Ding! You should leave. Our Madam and Old Master really don’t have time to talk to you today.”
Ding Jing choked on the butler, Uncle Jian’s words. She felt very uncomfortable, but she did not miss Jian Yue and Jian Heng’s gazes.
Jian Heng looked at her and shook his head gently, indicating for her to leave obediently.
Although Ding Jing felt indignant and was filled with anger, she did not dare to continue being rude in front of Jian Yue. Hence, she took a deep breath and glared at Xia Wei and Jian Tan before leaving in her high heels!
Hearing the sound of Ding Jing’s high heels, Xia Wei was speechless. If not for the fact that today’s occasion was too special, she would not have needed Jian Tan to stand up for her. She would have scolded Ding Jing until she could not fight back.
After all, she, Xia Wei, was not someone to be bullied!
Although Xia Wei had a lot of psychological activities, she did not show it on her face. She had not said a word since just now. Firstly, she wanted to give Jian Tan’s parents a good impression of being polite. Secondly, she really wanted to hear about Jian Tan and Ding Jing’s past.
Jian Tan, who had always been very sensitive to Xia Wei’s mood changes, could tell that something was wrong with Xia Wei. He looked at Xia Wei’s face and reached out to hold her hand, but she avoided him intentionally.
Jian Tan, who instinctively felt that the situation was not good, was speechless.
Fortunately, Mrs. Jian was a very meticulous person. After taking a look at Ding Jing’s retreating back, she looked at Xia Wei apologetically and explained gently, “I’m really sorry, Weiwei. I let you see such a rude scene! Ding Jing has been Jian Tan’s ‘tail’ since she was young. It’s no secret that she likes Jian Tan in our families, but we treated them as jokes when they were young. We didn’t know that she was so obsessed!”
“But don’t worry. Our Jian Tan has never responded to her. She’s just like an ordinary younger sister to him. Don’t take it to heart! Aiya, I’m really embarrassed and rude today. I’ll treat you to a meal next time. Don’t be angry with Jian Tan, okay?”
As Zhou Li spoke, she glanced at Jian Yue from the corner of her eye, indicating for him to speak.
Jian Yue received the signal and glanced at Xia Wei. He did not notice that this girl was angry. He observed her for a long time without saying anything.
Of course, Xia Wei was not an unreasonable and willful person, at least not now. Her gaze did not land on Jian Tan. She only smiled and looked at Zhou Li, Jian Yue, and Jian Heng..
