Chapter 1425: Lost in thought
Translator: 549690339
For the convenience of skiing, Jing Xi and Lou Ziling stayed in a hotel near the ski resort.
Back at the hotel, Jing Xi took off her clothes and took a shower, only to find that there were many bruises on her body.
At that time, he was too strong-headed and actually didn’t feel much pain.
Now that she was in the shower, Jing Xi gasped. It hurt even when she applied shower gel on her body.
When she finished her shower and changed her clothes, she looked in the mirror and realized that half of her face had turned green!
!!
Half of his face was white and the other half was black. He had become a hermaphrodite!
Jing Xi sighed again and again. She couldn’t face anyone with this face. Those who didn’t know would think that she had been beaten up!
When she went out the next day, she simply put on a big mask to cover her face.
Anyway, the weather was so cold outside now, and many people were wearing masks to keep out the cold, so it would not be too eye-catching for her to wear it.
Lou Ziling stood in front of the window in the room and watched Jing Xi leave in the car. He felt a little disappointed.
He tidied himself up and went to the hotel’s buffet restaurant for breakfast.
After breakfast, he drove out in a rented car.
Maybe Jing Xi wouldn’t let him go skiing with her for the next few days. He couldn’t stay idle. He could go to a few more United States companies.
The Lou family was in the sports equipment business, but they were not very well-known. They had never set foot in the North American market. Therefore, to the Lou family, there was still a lot of potential for development.
As long as they were willing to put in the effort, they would still be able to get a lot of orders.
After all, the sports equipment of the Lou family had a strong compet.i.tive price and good quality. They would definitely buy it again after one use.
Lou Ziling left early in the morning and returned late every day. It had been several days since he had seen Jing Xi.
Shangguan ning happened to be here these days. With her accompanying Jing Xi, Lou Ziling didn’t need to show up.
However, Shangguan ning invited Lou Ziling to have dinner with her to thank him for taking care of her daughter in the past few months.
If Jing Xi was the first person Lou Ziling had to take care of, then Shangguan ning was the second.
These two women had an unparalleled influence on Jing Yichen and Jing Rui.
And Shangguan ning, as an elder, needed Lou Ziling to treat her with care.
Over the past few months, family Lou’s company had been getting better with the support of family Jing. The office building of Jingsheng enterprise that family Lou had rented had been renewed at a low price.
This was enough to prove that getting close to Jing Xi was the most direct and effective way.
And Jing Xi’s mother would also be an effective channel.
Lou Ziling had received a call from his father, Lou Mingyang, before Shangguan ning had arrived. His task was to show Shangguan ning his sincerity to Jing Xi.
Women were always more emotional than men. Jing Yichen would appreciate him for his character, but Shangguan ning might not.
If Lou Ziling had a good character but was indifferent to Jing Xi or even made Jing Xi angry, Shangguan ning would not like Lou Ziling because she loved her daughter.
Lou Ziling changed into a new grey suit with a light blue plaid s.h.i.+rt and a black coat. He went to the restaurant that Shangguan ning had bought.
He was dressed formally but not rigidly. His maturity exuded the vitality and spirit of a young man. His face was handsome, and even if he didn’t speak, he had his own glow.
Shangguan ning couldn’t help but smile when she saw Lou Ziling’s reaction.
She finally understood why her daughter, who loved the new and hated the old, only fell in love with Lou Ziling twice. She had never found a new target.
Jing Xi whispered in Shangguan ning’s ear,”How is it, mom? is he handsome?” she asked.
Shangguan ning said to her daughter in a low voice,”Hmm, not bad!”
Jing Xi had taken a fancy to many handsome young men. When she was a child, she always liked to look for targets everywhere. She always said to keep the children her age who had not grown up. Who knew, they might grow up to be handsome?
However, it was obvious that Lou Ziling’s appearance was not the only thing that attracted Jing Xi to remember her for so long.
The Jing family was powerful enough to protect Jing Xi, so Shangguan ning was not worried even if Jing Xi was in a relations.h.i.+p.
She was an open-minded mother. It was normal for a little girl to fall in love with a handsome young man. Not to mention, Lou Ziling had saved her time and time again. Even when Jing Xi was at her lowest, he was there to protect her.
She was not afraid of her daughter falling in love, but she was afraid that her daughter would not fall in love.
When Jing Xi was a child, Shangguan ning used to have a headache. She always thought that Jing Xi would blow up things here and there. She thought that Jing Xi had countless ideas to mess with people and that it was impossible to guard against. She even suspected that no one would want her daughter when she grew up.
She was even afraid that her daughter would be too obsessed with weapons and viruses to fall in love and get married.
That was why Shangguan ning was very supportive of Jing Xi liking handsome men.
At least it was better than her making explosives and viruses, right?
But so far, Shangguan ning hadn’t found anything different about how her daughter treated Lou Ziling.
At most, she was a little dependent on Lou Ziling. She would feel a little uncomfortable leaving Lou Ziling, but she wouldn’t really miss someone like other girls.
Lou Ziling greeted Shangguan ning with respect and then took a seat. There was silence.
He was not good at chatting.
In the past few months, when he talked about cooperation with other companies, he usually didn’t talk much. He would only introduce his own company’s products. It was simple, direct, and straightforward.
This style was still very popular in North America. Everyone liked to be more direct to avoid wasting both sides ‘time.
The person Lou Ziling talked to the most in her life was not her biological parents or her sister, but Jing Xi.
She always had a way to make him talk.
For example, at this moment, she was still lively at the dining table. Even if Lou Ziling kept silent, he would not feel that the atmosphere was awkward.
And maybe it was because Shangguan ning was with Jing Xi, Jing Xi was as happy as a little bird. She liked to smile more than usual and acted like a 14-year-old girl.
Jing Xi had never acted coquettishly to Lou Ziling before.
Lou Ziling looked up and saw a small bruise on Jing Xi’s delicate cheek. She wondered how her ski skills were going.
If it was any other girl, she would have given up after the first day, but she insisted on it every day.
She was so smart, and the coach that Jing Yichen had found for her must be an expert as well. She must have learned well by now.
Just like when she learned how to ride a horse, she learned it very quickly.
……
“Lou Ziling!”
The clear and melodious voice brought Lou Ziling back to his senses. He looked at Jing Xi with a questioning look, not knowing why she had called him.
“My mother is talking to you,” Jing Xi pouted.”Why are you so distracted?”
Lou Ziling looked at Shangguan ning apologetically. “I’m sorry, I was just thinking about some things in the company and was a little lost in thought. ”
Shangguan ning shook her head with a smile.”Don’t worry. We are just having a meal together. Don’t be shy.”
Although she was smiling, she was puzzled.
As far as she knew, Lou Ziling was a strict and serious person. He should not be distracted.
