Xiao Jingxi nodded, then looked at Xiao Jinglin and said softly, "Say your goodbyes quickly and don't keep me waiting." He looked like he was escorting his sister out to meet a friend.
Xiao Jinglin rolled his eyes in his heart.
Lin Kun hurriedly said it was still early. He then called over the maids from afar and had them bring a table and chairs from the carriage and set them up under the tree. He then carefully invited Xiao Jingxi to sit down.
Xiao Jingxi actually gave him face and went over to sit down.
Ren Shijiadao carried the already asleep Cen Ge'er back to the carriage.
While Ren Yaoqi was talking to Xiao Jinglin, he couldn't help but glance at Xiao Jingxi and Lin Kun. Although he couldn't hear what they were saying, Xiao Jingxi's attitude was still very good.
After Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin finished talking, Xiao Jingxi also stood up and walked over, while Lin Kun returned to the carriage and wisely did not follow.
"Is it time to go?" Xiao Jingxi looked at them and smiled.
Xiao Jinglin asked what Ren Yaoqi wanted to know: "What were you talking about just now?"
Xiao Jingxi smiled and said, "It's just a casual chat."
After saying that, he thought for a moment and then tilted his head slightly to look at Ren Yaoqi, "Your uncle is not a simple man."
Ren Yaoqi was a little curious and couldn't help asking, "Oh? What does 'not simple' mean?"
Xiao Jingxi had only casually mentioned this, not expecting Ren Yaoqi to follow up. However, the smile in his eyes deepened. "There are some people in this world who, if given the opportunity, can fulfill their ambitions. But ambition isn't always a bad thing; it depends on how you think about it."
Ren Yaoqi tilted his head to think for a moment, then smiled and said, "I just want to know how much a person's ambition will make him willing to sacrifice to fulfill himself. His ambition is not a bad thing for those in power or for himself, but it may not be a bad thing for those close to him." Because they may be the first to be sacrificed. However, Ren Yaoqi did not say this.
Xiao Jingxi couldn't help but ponder after hearing this, then chuckled and said, "Now that you mention it, it reminds me of an interesting incident that happened in Shunzhou a few years ago."
"oh?"
"A man in Shunzhou inherited a small southern goods shop from his parents. He married and had children, and lived a peaceful life. Later, he joined others in reselling silk from Jiangnan, and bought furs from Guandong at low prices and sold them to Jiangnan, thus making a fortune."
"After getting the money, did this man become an unfaithful person and divorce his wife to marry someone from a rich family?" Xiao Jinglin rarely interrupted.
Xiao Jingxi looked at Xiao Jinglin in surprise.
Xiao Jinglin snorted softly, "I watched a few plays with my mother before, and that's what the plays said." She looked at Xiao Jingxi with disdain, "I didn't expect you to have the same hobbies as those women."
Xiao Jingxi's expression remained unchanged as he continued to speak to Ren Yaoqi, "This man didn't have the chance to divorce his wife and remarry. After his wife learned he was planning to give her away as a concubine for a big business deal, she immediately helped their rivals take over their business. In the end, the man was left with nothing."
Xiao Jinglin nodded and sighed, "What a bold move!"
Xiao Jingxi laughed, but said to Ren Yaoqi: "So instead of worrying about becoming a sacrifice, it is better to control other people's ambitions in your own hands."
