Liang Xun observed Jing Yao’s face and saw that her eyes were red. He frowned and said, “Didn’t 1 say that it’s all old news and that you don’t have to care?”
Jing Yao hummed softly and placed the things back into the document bag and handed it to Liang Xun. “1 don’t mind. 1 just had some mixed feelings. 1 wonder what Zhang Li will think when she sees this?”
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.
“She caused her current state. No matter what the reason is, it’s unforgivable for her to treat her biological daughter like this,” Liang Xun said calmly.
He didn’t 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.
“Why did you prepare this in the company?” Jing Yao stuffed one into her mouth happily.m
Liang Xun said, “I’ve 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 didn’t agree at that time.”
Liang Xun told the truth, but Jing Yao somehow heard a trace of grievance in his tone.
She brought a plum to Liang Xun’s mouth. “Here, I’ll give you one. Don’t be angry.”
She wanted him to calm down with just a plum?
Liang Xun opened his mouth and took it, his thin lips brushing past Jing Yao’s fair fingers casually.
Jing Yao hurriedly retracted her hand and went away with her head lowered. She looked like she didn’t care at all, but her ears were actually red.
Liang Xun was in a good mood and felt that today’s plum seemed to be sweeter than usual.
“Should I get someone to bring Zhang Li over?” 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 President’s 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.
“Eat less. Your teeth will ache from eating too much.” Liang Xun’s voice came through the crack in the door.
Jing Yao wheedled, “Can 1 eat two more?”
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 hadn’t seen Jing Yao for more than three months. In her impression, Jing Yao wasn’t 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 didn’t pay attention to Jing Yao at all. It was quite strange that she could remember Jing Yao’s 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 didn’t have any expression and didn’t 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.
“Yaoyao.” Zhang Li still chose to greet Jing Yao first. Although she wasn’t close to this daughter, she raised her herself after all, so she wasn’t afraid of her.
Unlike Liang Xun. Although she was considered Liang Xun’s elder now, Liang Xun’s cold gaze could make her tremble.
Jing Yao answered vaguely with a plum in her mouth, but she still didn’t 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. “Happy birthday, Yaoyao. Why didn’t you tell Mom about your marriage?”
Jing Yao didn’t say anything. Liang Xun stood up and walked to Jing Yao’s side.. He said calmly, “Madam Zhang, are you here to question my wife today?”
