If it were like before, unsure how to refute Duosu Anju, certainly in the end Mom wouldn’t benefit. But now it’s different, seriously thinking about it, he realized as a man he can’t even handle a woman, truly a failure.

Thinking of Meng Chengjun, Jin Jing felt quite uneasy inside, but after confirming something, he didn’t deliberately ponder Meng Chengjun’s existence anymore. His feelings for Xu Jiaojiao were still very firm, after all, Xu Jiaojiao was the one he loved.

Xu Jiaojiao was a bit upset by Jin Jing’s call. But she knew Jin Jing must be struggling inside, and knew he wasn’t sure how to make a decision, so she decided to give Jin Jing some more time and not make things too difficult for him.

Unexpectedly, two days later, Mrs. Jin’s call came in.

"Jiaojiao, this is Jin Jing’s mom."

Surprised, Xu Jiaojiao’s attitude immediately became cautious; she stood up and said, "Hello, Auntie."

"Are you working?"

Xu Jiaojiao glanced at her assistant, then walked away: "Yes, I am at the set."

"Well, if you have time, let’s meet. I haven’t seen you in a long time, let’s have a meal together."

Thinking of Jin Jing, thinking Mrs. Jin might be calling because of him. So Xu Jiaojiao replied without any pressure: "Okay, Auntie, I’ll call you right after I finish work."

Although Mrs. Jin’s call made Xu Jiaojiao feel somewhat relieved, thinking of Meng Chengjun’s belly growing day by day, Jin Jing didn’t have much time to consider.

Xu Jiaojiao intentionally dressed up for the meeting with Mrs. Jin.

Knowing Mrs. Jin didn’t like girls dressing too flashy, Xu Jiaojiao deliberately dressed more soberly, choosing quiet attire. Originally, Xu Jiaojiao had a very carefree personality and paired with a black leather jacket, applied light makeup, she looked even more valiant and dashing.

"Sister Jiaojiao, about what time will you be back? We have two scenes tomorrow morning."

"I know, I’ll definitely be back by ten at the latest, don’t worry."

Xu Jiaojiao knew she wasn’t in a good state now, and her assistant’s concern was normal. Because of this concern, she wanted to follow wherever Xu Jiaojiao went, which Xu Jiaojiao wasn’t keen to see, so she gave a few instructions and left.

She arranged to meet at a tea restaurant she visited before, because Mrs. Jin had a very Cantonese taste, it was convenient for her to order some of her favorite dishes.

All the way, Xu Jiaojiao kept reminding herself not to show any impatience, nor let Mrs. Jin notice any issues between her and Jin Jing. She didn’t want to cause unnecessary misunderstandings for Mrs. Jin, thinking she should resolve matters sooner rather than later.

Originally, Mrs. Jin wasn’t very satisfied with the acting industry, still having some prejudices. Due to Xu Jiaojiao’s personality, she didn’t mind, and mostly listened to Mrs. Jin’s advice, so their interactions had always been pleasant. Mrs. Jin suggesting a meeting this time was likely because they hadn’t met for a while and wanted to chat. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Hello, I reserved a table."

Xu Jiaojiao said, and unexpectedly, when the server led her over, Mrs. Jin was already there.

"Auntie, why didn’t you tell me you had arrived, sorry for letting you wait."

Mrs. Jin glanced at Xu Jiaojiao’s slightly thin face, stood up and said, "We’re familiar with each other, sit down quickly."

"Would you like some tea?"

Just after sitting down, Xu Jiaojiao asked Mrs. Jin, her eyes carrying a hint of warmth.
