Chapter 194 He Wasn’t Like This Before
"Yeah! That was the original plan!"
Li Jing's tone softened: "But judging from what you said, I don't think it's necessary. I'd better go back and work on my drawings!"
After saying that, she turned and left, ignoring Tian Xin's confused expression.
"No, explain it to me clearly. What do you mean?" Tian Xin caught up with him: "Why is it unnecessary again? Have you thought it through? Such a big thing, can you make a decision in just a few days?"
"Tian Xin!" Li Jing stopped and rolled her eyes at her: "I'm angry!"
"I know, I saw it!" Tian Xin said.
"Then why are you asking these questions? Are you asking them on purpose?"
"No, not really," Tian Xin said, "I just think you're..."
"Go buy me an ice cream!" Li Jing interrupted her.
"ah?"
"I said, ice-cream!" She spoke each word clearly, her two big eyes were full of anger, and she looked really angry!
Tian Xin was stunned for a moment, then reacted: "Oh, then you... just wait, I'll go buy it!"
There were small stalls with umbrellas everywhere in the amusement park. Tian Xin found one nearby, bought two ice creams and ran back quickly.
"Here you go, eat it! Cool down!" She handed over the ice cream, smiling broadly, "Jing, don't be angry! I'm just like that. When I get to know someone, I tend to speak bluntly without thinking! But I definitely don't mean any other things. I just didn't expect you to have such plans!"
Li Jing took the ice cream and chewed it until her mouth was full of cream. After hearing what she said, she snorted coldly: "That's better."
She was amused and took out the paper and handed it over.
Li Jing took it and said in a low voice, "I discussed this with Lin Zhou when we got home that day. If we're going to do this, we have to do it on a grand scale! You have the brains, and we have the money. If the three of us work together, who knows what we can't do?"
"You two?" Tian Xin frowned and asked, "He wants to do it too?"
"yes!"
"No, this matter hasn't even started yet. Have you two discussed it first?"
"What's the big deal? Just plan ahead! He won't suffer any loss, so what are you afraid of?"
"Isn't this a matter of whether I'll suffer a loss or not?" Tian Xin was anxious, and her voice suddenly became louder: "I don't want to..."
"What don't you want?" Li Jing interrupted her: "You don't want him to be with you?"
"How can you two be considered boyfriend and girlfriend? If Lin Zhou doesn't help you with this little thing, I'll look down on him!" she complained.
Tian Xin was speechless: "Jing, we are not that close now. I don't want him to keep wasting time on me. He took the initiative in the matter of the stone factory and became a thankless third party. No matter what, I will not agree to his involvement in this matter!"
"Who said that?" Li Jing asked back: "Why do you think so? He's almost showing you his heart, why are you still so stubborn?
Besides, for him, this is just an investment, a business, there's money to be made. It's not just about you, so why are you overthinking it? And you also said that now is a booming period, and riding the wave is an opportunity. Would he be stupid not to make money?
"But……"
"Don't say but, he's already taken the initiative, and you're still hesitating! If you keep going like this and he gets snatched away by someone else, don't blame me for not warning you!"
"Stolen?" Tian Xin was stunned: "What do you mean?"
"Well……"
Li Jing was shocked: Oh no, the words came out!
She was so flustered that she didn't know how to explain. Tian Xin seemed to understand and asked her, "Has he encountered any problems recently?"
"No!" Li Jing quickly took over the conversation: "Nothing happened!"
"No? Then why is he so abnormal today..."
She was halfway through her sentence when she remembered the scene just now and swallowed the rest of the sentence.
"Really... is everything okay?" She sighed softly.
"No!" Li Jing gossiped while munching on ice cream: "He kissed you because you refused to acknowledge your relationship, and he was unhappy! He's a man! He can't stand this cowardice and gets angry. It's normal!"
"..." Tian Xin was stunned: "How do you know? Did you...see it?"
“…”
"Uh..." Damn it, I let it slip again!
Li Jing bit her tongue hard, gestured with her fingers and laughed: "A little bit, a little bit!"
"But you're such a fool. If you like someone, just admit it openly. Why are you being so coy? You're not that kind of person, are you?" Li Jing leaned closer to her. "What are you worried about?"
"..." Tian Xin lowered her head and said nothing, her face unusually calm, and no one knew what she was thinking.
Seeing that she didn't respond for a long time, Li Jing finished the ice cream in her hand in two bites and pulled her to sit on the bench.
"Tian Xin," she put her arm around Tian Xin and said earnestly, "Lin Zhou is a bit dull and doesn't like to talk much. But actually, he wasn't like this when he was a child."
“…” Tian Xin turned her head slightly, a glimmer of light rising in her eyes.
"He was actually quite naughty when he was little," Li Jing recalled. "He did all sorts of things, like fighting, smashing windows, and pulling girls' rubber bands.
I remember the most mischievous incident. He hit a senior boy on the head with a rock because he hit Lin Hai. The whole school knew about it, and he was almost expelled. His father asked him to apologize, but he refused and insisted that the boy apologize to Lin Hai first.
Li Jing thought of this and smiled: "You never thought of it, did you?"
“…” Tian Xin smiled and didn’t respond.
Li Jing went on to recall: "Later, his parents divorced, and his father married his current wife. His personality changed drastically. He wouldn't play with us at school, and he wouldn't even talk to us! But it was from that time that he started studying, working incredibly hard. I asked him why, and guess what he said?"
"..." Tian Xin's eyes rippled, and the corners of her mouth twitched: "Why?"
"He said that if he had known how to study hard earlier, his parents might not have divorced and would not have left him!"
Tian Xin smiled slightly.
"You think he's naive, too, don't you?" Li Jing smiled. "He's always been like this, both before and now. It wasn't his fault that his parents divorced, but he thinks it was because he wasn't well behaved that led to their divorce.
He likes you, but you are unwilling to accept him, so he stubbornly thinks that he must not be good enough! He is not impressed enough! "
"But is that really the case?" Li Jing turned completely around to face Tian Xin, her expression becoming serious and her voice rising a few degrees: "That pile of things he placed in front of you in his office that day, were they the property certificates?"
Tian Xin suddenly raised her head, her brows furrowed, her eyes misty with water. She opened her mouth several times, but ultimately remained silent.
Li Jing sighed deeply and said helplessly: "Tell me the truth, do you have him in your heart?"
