Chapter 318 Thoughts
Le Zhengting is Le Zhengxiao's cousin and the daughter of the second wife.
The discord between the two families, although this has little to do with Le Zhengting as a girl, Le Zhengxiao is not so foolish as to think that she is completely innocent.
The eldest wife has no daughter, while the second wife has a pair of daughters, both of whom are the biological daughters of the second aunt, Mi. Since childhood, these two cousins have liked to act coquettishly in front of their grandmother, especially Le Zhengting, who is very good at pleasing the grandmother and has made an indelible contribution in making the grandmother favor the second wife more.
Therefore, Le Zhengxiao has never been very close to this cousin.
And when he found out that his cousin had been particularly fond of tracking his whereabouts in the past two years in order to get close to Xie Jingrong, Le Zhengxiao became even more disgusted with her.
I think my grandmother, second aunt and second uncle are somewhat self-aware and know that their daughters are not worthy of the eldest grandson of the Xie family, so no one is so presumptuous as to dare to bring up this matter openly.
But he absolutely did not believe that Second Aunt Xie Jingrong and the others would not know that Le Zhengting was chasing him all the time trying to get close to him, and were just pretending not to know.
I always have some hope in my mind that something might happen.
He thought that if Xie Jingrong himself liked Le Zhengting, the marriage would be a natural thing. Even if Xie Jingrong didn't like her, it didn't matter, the window paper hadn't been broken anyway, and with his cousin as a cover, Le Zhengting's reputation would not be ruined.
It’s hard to say whether Le Zhengting came here today intentionally or unintentionally.
Look at what he said. The first thing he said was that he personally bought cakes for his grandmother. How filial!
It goes without saying who this is for.
Since everyone was here, Le Zhengxiao didn't want to chase them away, so he smiled and said, "What a coincidence, have you had lunch? If not, let's go together."
Le Zhengting covered her mouth and chuckled softly, blinked her eyes and said in a tender voice: "What a coincidence, I was just about to go home for lunch, sorry to bother you, third brother!"
Le Zhengxiao smiled and introduced Le Zhengting to Shao Yunduan and others.
Seeing that Qiao Xuan and the others were dressed in ordinary clothes and had never been around her third brother before, Le Zhengting was a little curious and greeted them with a smile.
Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao were clearly stage frightened, and it was obvious that they were from small families who had never seen the world. Le Zhengting felt disdainful in her heart but did not show it on her face. She just pretended they did not exist and just kept talking to Xie Jingrong and Le Zhengxiao with a smile.
What they talked about were nothing more than which Jinshizhai had new good stuff, which orchids were good, which banquet was lively, etc. Most of them were to please Xie Jingrong.
Although Xie Jingrong is not a talkative person, he is definitely not one who pretends to be aloof. When Le Zhengting didn't come, he had a good conversation with Shao Yunduan and others. When Le Zhengting came, he became obviously much quieter.
Unless Le Zhengting asks him specifically, he will never respond.
It has been a long time since Le Zhengting has seen her third brother and Xie Jingrong walking together. Today is a rare opportunity. She also felt that with outsiders present, Xie Jingrong would be more patient and talk more.
Not to mention Xie Jingrong was annoyed, Le Zhengxiao was even more annoyed and wanted to kick her out.
I've never seen anyone so completely lacking in self-awareness.
Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan also noticed that there were some undercurrents. They looked at each other, feeling helpless.
Of course, we have to consider the face of Le Zhengxiao and Xie Jingrong, so we must finish the meal in its entirety.
Qiao Xuan sensed that Shao Taotao and Shao Xiaoqi were nervous, so she winked at Shao Xiaoqi to comfort him, gently shook Shao Taotao's hand, and smiled softly, "Let's eat our own food and don't worry about the others. These dishes look very expensive, it would be a waste if we don't eat them."
