Chapter 298 Xue Jing Wants to Marry
Song Chen alone was enough to deal with the two dark horses of the Xue family. In her spare time, Qi Xu and Xue Jing chatted about topics between best friends.
"Jingjing, what's wrong? You're silent and look unhappy."
Xue Jing was indeed very unhappy. Today was her birthday, but she was full of sorrow and depressed, and the smile on her face was forced.
"Qiqi, you know. I really like Brother Lu Er. I have tactfully confessed my feelings to him twice, but he rejected me both times."
"Before his birthday, I specially sent him an invitation. But he still didn't come."
"Even if he doesn't like me, I'd be happy if he treated me as an ordinary friend and invited me to his birthday party."
"But he is so ruthless and doesn't leave me any hope at all."
In fact, from an outsider's perspective, Lu Shixu did the right thing.
Matters of the heart are all about mutual consent. If you don't like someone, you should reject them cleanly and decisively, without dragging your feet or holding them back, leaving no hope. Only by completely letting them give up can you minimize the damage.
"Senior, my second brother is a straight-forward person. He only knows how to bury himself in work and doesn't understand love at all. He doesn't know how good you are."
Xue Jing looked at Qi Xu and smiled bitterly.
"Maybe we are not destined to be together."
How could Lu Shixu not understand love? His love for Qi Xu was so deep, so delicate, and so passionate, yet he hid it so carefully, fearing that it would burden and trouble her.
Qi Xu couldn't feel it, but she saw it clearly. Because when you love someone, you can't hide it in your eyes.
Even though he tried hard not to look in her direction, the corner of his eyes always stayed on her.
The tone he used when speaking to her was so gentle and doting, just like the warm breeze in winter, and every word contained burning love.
She couldn't help but feel jealous and crazy after hearing this.
"Qiqi, why did you choose Young Master Lin instead of Lu Shixu?"
"What?" Qi Xu felt that she was talking nonsense.
"What nonsense are you talking about? When I met my second brother, I was already married. So, from the beginning to the end, I always treated him as my brother."
Xue Jing knew that Qi Xu was smart, beautiful, and excellent, but she wasn't bad either. Why would Lu Shixu rather be obsessed with a married woman who would never be his, rather than looking back at her?
"Qiqi, this is the first time I've fallen deeply in love with a man, but I didn't expect that I wouldn't even have the chance to love again."
It's not easy for others to talk about matters of the heart. Qi Xu didn't know how to persuade her.
"So what are you going to do now? Continue to wait for him? Or give up?"
Two clear lines of tears flowed down Xue Jing's face, and then she wiped them away quietly.
"I can't wait for him any longer. My family elders are planning to arrange a marriage for me."
Marriage is the inevitable fate of most daughters from wealthy families. They enjoy the glory of their family and naturally want to contribute to the family business.
Of course, if Lu Shixu also likes Xue Jing, the Xue family will naturally be very happy.
After all, the Lu family's family background is superior to that of the Xue family. A marriage between the Lu and Xue families would be the best combination.
Unfortunately, the Lu family's son looked down on the Xue family's daughter. Therefore, the Xue family's head naturally had to make other plans.
"Marriage? Which family?"
Xue Jing's eyes turned red and she smiled bitterly.
"Hua family!"
"The Hua family?" Qi Xu was also surprised. If the Xue family and the Hua family were to marry, then her current move would be a huge mistake.
In the past, Ms. Wen had said that the Lin family and the Hua family had always been at odds and tried to avoid dealing with each other.
Even though the Hua family had tried to bury the hatchet and approach the Shanglin Group several times over the years, Grandma Lin was adamant and would not allow the Lin and Hua families to have any business dealings.
If the Xue family and the Hua family were to marry, the relationship between them would become somewhat complicated.
Friendships were friendships, and business was business. As long as the Xue family stood firm, it wasn't impossible to have dealings with them. But if the Hua family tried to muddy the waters, she would seek other partners.
She glanced at Song Chen, who was chatting animatedly with the Xue brothers, and sighed slightly.
If I had known this would end, I wouldn't have spoken so sooner. How should I end this now?
Xue Jing didn't notice Qi Xu's emotional changes. He choked up and confided in her.
"Qiqi, I don't want to marry Brother Hua. Can you help me convince Brother Lu? He listens to you the most."
Qi Xu refused.
When it comes to love, everyone has their own choices, and she won't make things difficult for her second brother.
"Senior. My second brother is a man of his own ideas. I won't interfere in his private affairs. This is inappropriate!"
Xue Jing also knew that it was inappropriate, but she loved him too much, to the point of madness and humility, but still could not impress him.
She even thought about getting plastic surgery. If she could have a baby face like Qi Xu, would he like her?
"Qiqi, what on earth did you eat to grow up so beautiful, so cute, and so lovable?"
Qi Xu couldn't explain this either.
"Haha, it's natural. I have troubles with this face too. You don't know, the last time I went to the bar with Yiyi, the police mistook me for a middle school student, took me to the disciplinary office, and locked me up all night!"
"Tell me, is this unfair?"
"Puff!" Xue Jing finally laughed at her, and the sadness on her face faded a little.
"It's a good thing the police didn't send you to kindergarten."
While he was joking, the door of the VIP room was suddenly kicked open.
Xue Ling rushed in angrily and questioned Xue Cheng.
"Second brother, did you take those two cans of Snow Mountain Cloud Mist from home?"
Xue Cheng was very dissatisfied with Xue Ling's rude and unruly attitude. But Xue Ling was not his biological sister, so it was difficult to reprimand her. He just said coldly.
"Yes, I took it. What's the matter?"
Xue Ling stamped her feet angrily and shouted loudly.
"Brother! Do you know that I was planning to give that tea to my best friend? If you took it away, what would I do? I already promised her that."
Xue Ling's rudeness and unreasonableness were too much for Xue Sheng to bear. He ignored the guests and stood up, slamming the table and scolding his sister harshly.
"Xue Ling, do you have a brain?"
"When will you be allowed to mess around with the valuables in our house?"
"Don't you know how precious the snow-capped mountains and mists are? Tribute tea, worth a fortune, you actually gave it to your bestie? Whose daughter is she that warrants such flattery?"
Xue Ling was the eldest daughter of the Xue family. She was usually spoiled, and her family let her do as she pleased. She had never been treated like this before.
Especially when she knew that the tea was to be given to Qi Xu, she was so angry that she was fuming.
She remembered clearly how Qi Xu and Lin Youqian had humiliated her at the Su family's house. Now, on the Xue family's territory, she was determined to get her revenge.
"The person I'm sending off is the second daughter of the Hua family. She's much more noble than some of the poor women from small families."
