Chapter 150 - 150 150 Whose Side Are You Really On
?Chapter 150: Chapter 150: Whose Side Are You Really On? Chapter 150: Chapter 150: Whose Side Are You Really On? Luo Ning hung up the phone and looked at Lu Xun.
She smiled and said, “I wonder if the director will cause trouble this time.”
Lu Xun chuckled in response, “Based on what I know about him, he will likely cause some trouble.”
“But we definitely won’t be going abroad this time.” The previous lesson had certainly scared the director.
Luo Ning nodded, “Yeah, I think so too.”
“If there’s anything concerning Huo Ye, give me a call.”
She was just about to open the car door when Lu Xun beat her to it, unbuckling his own seatbelt and getting out of the car, then opening the car door for her from the outside.
Luo Ning’s eyes smiled, “Thanks for the service, Mr. Lu.”
Lu Xun curled his lips up, “No need to thank me!”
“See you!” Luo Ning waved at him.
Lu Xun nodded, “See you!”
This scene was just witnessed by Ji Xinghang, who was driving Jiang Xinxin back.
Ji Xinghang’s face looked a bit upset, and he couldn’t help complaining to Jiang Xinxin, who was sitting in the backseat.
“Aunt Xin, this Mr. Lu is always around Ningning; I’m not sure if he has bad intentions.”
Jiang Xinxin smiled lightly, “Whether he has bad intentions or not, Ningning probably knows.”
She never interfered in her daughter’s affairs, and she actually had a pretty good impression of Lu Xun.
Just from the way Lu Xun had just opened the car door for her daughter, carrying an affectionate warmth, he had greatly pleased her.
She thought Lu Xun was a gentlemanly and considerate man, and such a man could take good care of her daughter, which made her feel more at ease.
Although Ji Xinghang had upset Ningning and initiated the breakup, even though she had watched him grow up, she still supported her daughter.
Qi Yuelan sighed in her heart, thinking her son was really rather blunt.
What mother wouldn’t want to see her daughter pampered by others?
Honestly, she felt that Lu, the movie star, matched Ningning better.
At least his considerate attitude in his actions was something her own son couldn’t compare with.
So she spoke a fair word, “I’ve hardly ever seen you open the car door for Ningning like this Mr. Lu does, he’s quite good.”
Although she had always wanted Ningning to be her daughter-in-law, she couldn’t lie against her conscience to speak ill of Lu Xun.
Her son’s personality was perhaps suitable for dating, but not really for marriage.
Ji Xinghang: “…” Is this really my mother? Why is she undermining me?
“He has ulterior motives,” he muttered.
Qi Yuelan slapped the back of his head, “Even if he had ulterior motives, it’s none of your business, Ningning has already broken up with you. Are you saying she can’t have someone better than you pursuing her?”
They were all experienced, and Lu Xun’s consideration for Ningning definitely indicated his desire to pursue her.
Ji Xinghang: “…” A piercing remark from his mother.
He argued, “In what way is that Mr. Lu better than me? Just because his status is higher and he’s more hypocritical?”
Always playing the gentleman to win over Luo Ning, that Mr. Lu was nothing but a wolf in sheep’s clothing; he wasn’t fooled.
Qi Yuelan glared at him, “If you can’t match up, that’s your problem; don’t slander others.”
She waved her hand dismissively, “Alright, you go back first, your Aunt Xin and I will go upstairs for a while.”
Her son was just too frustrating.
Ji Xinghang was exasperated, whose side was his mom actually on?
He said, “I’ll go too, I have something to discuss with Ningning.”
Qi Yuelan gave him a warning look, “Then you better not make Ningning angry again.”
Ji Xinghang immediately nodded, “I definitely won’t make her angry again.”
Now, he wouldn’t dare upset Luo Ning, especially since he felt like she expected him to treat her like royalty!
Then, he thoughtfully looked at the distance and compared himself to the proverbial “big bad wolf.” Suddenly, he realized how his former self was indeed what the internet described as “too straightforward.”
He soon snapped back to reality, got out of the car, and cheerfully opened the car doors for his mom and Jiang Xinxin.
Jiang Xinxin got out of the car and shook her head with a wry smile.
This child only now thought to become a considerate gentleman, but unfortunately, it was too late.
She knew her daughter’s stubborn nature well—once they broke up, there was no chance of reconciliation.
As soon as Luo Ning had gotten home and changed into her robe, Jiang Xinxin and the others returned.
She stood up from the sofa with a smile and said, “Mom, Aunt Lan, you’re back from your outing, did you have fun?”
Jiang Xinxin, seeing the softness in her daughter’s eyes, replied, “I did; next time you should come with us.”
Luo Xi also smiled and said, “Right, next time you should join us, sis.”
Luo Ning walked over to Luo Xi, raised her hand, and ruffled his hair, “Alright, I’ll join you guys once I’m a little less busy.”
In this lifetime, she wanted to make more time to be with her mom and brother.
She then smiled at Qi Yuelan, “Aunt Lan, you should come along too!”
In her heart, Qi Yuelan was like a second mother, and no matter what happened between her and Ji Xinghang, that wouldn’t change.
Qi Yuelan’s face was full of smiles, “Of course, we should have planned a family outing a while ago.”
Ji Xinghang, now quite savvy, chimed in, “Then I’ll come too; I’ll help drive and carry stuff.”
Luo Ning looked at him disdainfully and said, “You, a rich young master, might as well not come. If you join us, who knows who would end up taking care of whom.”
She had gone out with Ji Xinghang a few times before, and he had completely spoiled the fun, ending up needing her to take care of him instead.
Ji Xinghang: “…” that hurt.
He almost wanted to swear, “Don’t worry, this time I’ll definitely prepare thoroughly, help carry stuff, and take good care of everything, without holding anyone back.”
Luo Ning looked skeptical, “You might as well not bother.”
“Why can’t you trust me!” Ji Xinghang exclaimed in frustration.
Luo Ning curled her lip, “You already lost all credibility with me.”
She said this and ignored Ji Xinghang’s response, turning to ask the others, “Mom, Aunt Lan, Luo Xi, are you guys hungry?”
Jiang Xinxin nodded, “Now that you mention it, I kind of am.”
“Then I’ll go cook some noodles for you.”
Luo Ning headed to the kitchen.
Ji Xinghang looked gloomy for a moment, then thickened his skin and followed her into the kitchen.
He looked at Luo Ning with puppy-dog eyes, “I’m hungry too.”
Luo Ning rolled her eyes, “Fine, I’ll make you a bowl too.”
He used to be stubborn, but now he really seemed like a stray dog that had been abandoned.
Ji Xinghang’s handsome face broke into a big smile, and he moved closer, “You’re so good!”
Luo Ning, disgusted, pushed him away, “Get out, don’t mess with me.”
From past experience, asking Ji Xinghang to do something had almost driven her to violence.
“I’ll just stand and talk, won’t make a mess.”
Ji Xinghang was a disaster in the kitchen, but at least he was aware of it now.
Luo Ning could tell he had something on his mind and didn’t shoo him away this time, “What is it?”
Ji Xinghang didn’t beat around the bush, “Ningning, today Director Mo called my agent, asking me to audition for the second male lead in a Republic-era movie. He mentioned you passed the audition for the leading lady?”
