Jing Chenxi stood there in a daze, watching the departing car, his face filled with loneliness and helplessness.
He had always wanted to explain to her, to make her understand that he loved her, and he was willing to give up anything for her.
But she never gave him a chance.
A little while later, Jiang Xinyun walked up to him.
Out of a sense of responsibility, he had escorted her home.
Zhengsheng Apartments.
Ding Ding and Coco were playing rock-paper-scissors.
“Rock, paper, scissors.” The two kids each showed their choice.
“Yeah, I won!” Coco excitedly wiggled two fingers, shouting with joy. “This is my second win, Ding Ding, you lost, better go back to the Li family’s manor.”
It turned out that the three little ones were having a great time together. Coco didn’t want to go back to the Li family’s manor while playing, and naturally, Ding Ding didn’t want to either.
There was no other way.
The two kids had to rely on rock-paper-scissors to determine the winner.
“Alright.” Ding Ding reluctantly agreed after losing twice, with a bitter expression.
“Brother, go back first. I’ll take your place in a few days. If there’s anything, remember to tell me and Xiao Xiao.” Coco patted Ding Ding’s face, comforting him like a little adult. “By the way, be careful of that ugly witch, Shen Mei, lately I’ve noticed her acting a bit abnormal. You should be cautious.”
“Yes, I will. And you, keep your promise and come to replace me as soon as possible.” Ding Ding earnestly reminded him.
“Don’t worry, I will.” Coco replied with a mischievous smile.
Ding Ding reluctantly left.
He hadn’t been gone for long when the sound of the door being pushed open echoed in the living room.
“Yeah, Mommy’s back!” The two kids immediately jumped up and rushed to the living room.
“You guys aren’t asleep yet?” Shen Ning looked at the lively and energetic kids, quite surprised.
“Your Majesty, please change your shoes.”
“Your Majesty, please have some water.”
The two little ones brought her slippers and a glass of water, smiling and acting as if they were welcoming a queen returning to her palace, full of ceremonial gestures.
Shen Ning looked at the cheerful and lively Coco, and for a moment, she was lost in thought.
This was the Coco she had in mind, her son. In the past few days, something seemed off, and she had worried unnecessarily.
A smile gradually appeared on Shen Ning’s face. The tea party tonight had been a success, and she had reclaimed the villa from Gu Qi and her mother. She was truly happy.
She turned around and hugged the two little ones, taking turns to kiss them.
The two kids giggled.
A happy family of three.
Of course, shortly after, Shen Ning scolded the two little ones. They had stayed up quite late tonight, which was not good for their health.
Soon, the two little ones obediently went to bed.
On the contrary, the atmosphere in the Shen family wasn’t as pleasant.
Shen Mei sat on the couch, looking miserable, constantly wiping away her tears, looking utterly pitiful.
“You, you’re just too foolish. You actually handed yourself over to Shen Ning as a pawn in a situation like this. How did I end up with such a foolish daughter?” Lan Feiyun lamented.
Tonight, mother and daughter not only lost their wealth to Shen Ning but also lost all face.
Lan Feiyun had never been so embarrassed in her entire life.
It was a complete disaster.
“Mom, it’s not my fault. How could I have known that Jing Chenxi would be there? If it weren’t for him, Shen Ning would have definitely lost.” Shen Mei sobbed.
Lan Feiyun was so angry that she stomped her foot. “I see you’ve reached the pinnacle of stupidity. If you wanted to do something like this, you should have discussed it with me first. Didn’t you think that She Meiqi, who specializes in perfumes, would have given Shen Ning some secret formula? You, a non-professional, insisted on competing with a professional. How could you not lose?”
Shen Mei fell silent after hearing her mother’s words..
