Jing Lu warned Christy Zhong in a disgusted manner, “okay, I’ll trust you this time. And you better don’t do anything suspicious. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to pay the price.”
She was not worried about Christy at all, but as she thought of Jie Zhong and Jiangdu Zhong, also some of their past, she had to watch out for the Zhong family.
Christy was startled. She never thought that Jing Lu would warn her about this and expected to only put up with her blaming. For a moment, Christy felt that Jing Lu was too much to handle. Still, she tried to toughen up and accept everything nonetheless.
“I understand your words. I am especially grateful to President Feng, and will never do any harm to him,” Christy answered her, confidently and sincerely.
They have talked for quite some time, and thinking about it, James Feng should be enjoying his time with the kids, shouldn’t he?
Jing Lu raised her head, glared at Christy, and warned her once again, “keep every word I said today in your mind. Also, remember what you said to me just now.”
Christy would certainly remember every detail of their conversations. However, she couldn’t guarantee anything else, despite being very confident in her actions. After all, Christy believed that as long as she could control herself, she could be successful.
“Don’t worry, President Lu. If I ever do something so unpleasant towards President Feng, I will wholeheartedly accept even the worst consequences, and I won’t forgive myself for the rest of my life,” assured Christy passionately to her.
Christy had no idea how to express her feelings for James in front of Jing Lu, and she could only say that to show her sincerity to him.
Usually, people would feel touched when they heard her confession, but Jing Lu was not a person whose feelings could be moved by such things.
Shortly after, Jing Lu snorted, “I’ll wait and see.” She would test her truth as time went by, and they still had to live together after all.
Jing Lu stood up and left right after she spoke to her.
Christy was standing straight the whole time, and she was tense. And after Jing Lu left, she finally could feel her senses coming back to place.
Also, Christy loosened up so much, and she felt great again.
Christy felt that she could handle everything well with Jing Lu; it was not a big deal. But their relationship was a little weird. No matter how tense they were with each other, as long as they often spent time together, they could solve the problem between them someday.
As long as everybody felt at ease, then what was the big deal?
People had been accepting influences bit by bit from their family environment since they were little. The several habits they learned then seeped into their blood from an early age, and that could affect their whole lives.
Lu Jing was an elegant person, and all her manners were well-defined. So she believed her grandchildren would naturally follow her way of living from learning her habits.
Just then, the doorbell rang, and a servant immediately went to open the door.
James then asked Jing Lu: “Is it my elder sister?”
“Of course, it’s her. Who else will come here at this time?” Jing Lu spoke, her tone was full of resentment, and Christy couldn’t help but eavesdrop over them. She also wondered, was it for the sake of Tianyue Feng that she came to her house? Also, since James spent most of his time in Linxi, it was rare for him to come here.
James heard Jing Lu’s tone just now, and he couldn’t help but frown. How could she speak and act that way? Anyways, now that Christy was there and the kids were not too far away, they could easily read Jing Lu’s mood.
He was not thinking about Christy, but the kids, since they were sensitive to their mood changes. The adults there had to be extremely careful in their words to them.
“Mom, what are you talking about? Of course, my big sister and I will come here, so does Wenya. My elder brother and sister-in-law will come to visit you as well,” James tried to comfort her and reminded Jing Lu that all her children cared about her, so she had to cheer up.
