He held his phone in one hand and tapped rhythmically on the balcony with the other. He looked up at the ceiling in the room. The other end of the line didn't answer for a long time. Frustrated, he rubbed his hair vigorously. The moment the call was finally connected, his frustration lessened a little.
Lu Wanzheng sensed that Xu Jingxing seemed genuinely angry, but she didn't know the details, so she remained silent. She was in the wrong, so she could only obediently admit her mistake to appease Xu Jingxing's anger.
Why did you suddenly stop talking?
"Uncle, I was wrong..." She suddenly became listless. Lu Wanzheng hadn't just been listening to Xu Jingxing; she was also gathering her emotions. At this moment, feigning pitifulness might be more effective, hence her voice carried a hint of sobbing and grievance.
Xiao Qifeng, who had just found a movie, walked over and patted Lu Wanzheng on the shoulder to comfort her when he heard her words.
The emotions that Lu Wanzheng had just built up were instantly extinguished by his action.
She put her index finger to her lips, signaling to Xiao Qifeng not to speak.
Xu Jingxing, on the other end of the phone, was unaware of Lu Wanzheng's movements.
When he heard Lu Wanzheng's words, his anger subsided. He thought to himself: children will eventually grow up and find the people and things they want. He could only take care of his sister for this long.
He sighed helplessly, "I don't mean to stop you from dating. You don't need to be careful. You're an adult, and I believe you have your own judgment. I don't object to you dating. I'm just angry that you don't tell me about this."
Xu Jingxing walked into the bedroom, took out a cigarette from the bedside table, lit it, and the scarlet sparks flickered. He smoked as he walked back to the empty balcony.
His long, slender legs were casually bent, resting against the balcony railing as he looked at the streets outside where crowds were beginning to appear. This area was the busiest Chinatown in the area, and since he lived on a high floor, he couldn't hear the noise downstairs.
Lu Wanzheng listened carefully. She frowned and looked concerned. "Uncle, you should smoke less. Smoking is bad for your health."
"who is he?"
On Weibo, Lu Wanzheng's studio only said that the man was not in the entertainment industry. He wanted to find out more details. Although he was abroad, he could still find someone to investigate the man's background. He absolutely would not allow those men with ulterior motives to try to deceive Lu Wanzheng's feelings in the name of love. Otherwise, he would lose both his money and his love, and how would he face his missing sister in the future?
The cigarette in his hand burned slowly, emitting a wisp of grayish-white smoke. After hearing Lu Wanzheng's words, he held the cigarette between his index and middle fingers and had no intention of continuing to smoke.
Upon answering the call, Lu Wanzheng was prepared to tell him everything. Xu Jingxing's question about who the caller was was exactly what she expected.
"It's Xiao Qifeng, the president of the Xiao Group."
Xiao Qifeng? He knew this person. He was considered a rare talent in Kyoto. He came from the Xiao family and was a wealthy heir. He was a decent person, clean-living, and had never caused any scandals. He was one of the cleanest people in Kyoto's circle of wealthy young people in terms of background and character.
If we only consider character, appearance, and family background, Xiao Qifeng is indeed someone we can entrust our lives to, but...
Xu Jingxing thought of something, and he frowned slightly, a displeased expression appearing on his usually aloof face.
