Reincarnation Of The Businesswoman At School Novel - Chapter 1990

Chapter 1990: I’m Not Familiar with Them

“Hi, Lord Xu,” Ji Zijing said to Xu Jinchen elegantly. Although she was a little shy to see him, she didn’t show that on her face, because she knew Xu Jinchen was a soldier and hated phony women.

It was true that Xu Jinchen disliked phony women, but he still didn’t bother to pay much attention to her. He only replied to her without much interest, “Hi, Miss Ji.”

“Jinchen, have you been very busy recently?” asked Mrs. Ji, because she heard nothing from Mrs. Xu and lost patience. She had to ask Xu Jinchen about it once she met him.

“Yeah, I still need to work in a while,” said Xu Jinchen.

“Oh, you must be very busy. When can you be free? Can we share a meal together?” asked Mrs. Ji again. Her purpose couldn’t be more obvious.

“Well, it’s a women’s gathering. I don’t think it’s appropriate for me to join in. You can share the meal with my mother.” Xu Jinchen obviously understood Mrs. Ji’s meaning, but he pretended to be unaware of it.

“Your mother and I are good friends. We’re not strangers. There is nothing inappropriate! In fact, I need your help. Zijing just came home. She doesn’t have many friends. Can you take her to make some friends if it’s possible?” said Mrs. Ji.

“I’m sorry, Mrs. Ji. I have a lot of work to do. I don’t have time to make friends normally. Do you think I’m a good-for-nothing playboy who plays about every day? Besides, I always gather together with men. Miss Ji is a young girl. Shouldn’t she make more friends with other girls? Mrs. Ji, if you want me to take her to my friends’ gatherings, other people might think Miss Ji isn’t a good girl. Don’t you care about her reputation?” Even if Xu Jinchen had good manners, he couldn’t help but laugh at Mrs. Ji.

Hearing that, Mrs. Ji and Ji Zijing were displeased. Why did Xu Jinchen always misunderstand their words?

Ji Zijing could see that Xu Jinchen did it on purpose. He must know what her mother really meant. Did he really have no interest in her?

“Jinchen, I didn’t mean that…” Mrs. Ji still couldn’t see that Xu Jinchen did it on purpose, so she tried to explain it in case he had a bad impression of Ji Zijing.

Right at this moment, a female voice interrupted them. “Oh, I’m afraid I showed up at the wrong time.”

Zi Beiying arrived with Mengda and Nan, but she saw Xu Jinchen talking with Mrs. Ji and Miss Ji once she opened the car door. She was displeased, so she mocked them.

Xu Jinchen was unhappy, because Mrs. Ji and Miss Ji made Zi Beiying misunderstand him.

Mrs. Ji and Miss Ji knew that Zi Beiying was the friend of Xu Jinchen’s younger sister, so they didn’t think further about that.

“Not at all! You came at the right time. Let’s go inside now!” Xu Jinchen left Mrs. Ji and Miss Ji behind at once, then walked straight to Zi Beiying.

“I think they have something more to talk about with you. Is it alright if you leave right now?” said Zi Beiying, giving Mrs. Ji and Miss Ji a glance. “Why don’t you finish the talk with them. I can go in first.”

Zi Beiying seemed considerate, but she was actually being sarcastic. Her target was Xu Jinchen.

Xu Jinchen knew it, so he explained at once feeling aggrieved. “I didn’t have anything to talk about with them. I’m not familiar with them anyway.”

“None of my business,” said Zi Beiying airily. After that, she directly walked inside, leaving Xu Jinchen behind.

It seemed that she didn’t care about it at all, but she actually felt quite pleased. Although she was mad at the beginning and had even attacked Xu Jinchen sarcastically, she wasn’t really annoyed at him, because she knew the two women wouldn’t let him go. Out of manners, Xu Jinchen had to reply to them. However, what he just said publicly embarrassed them.

After Zi Beiying walked inside, Xu Jinchen followed her right away without paying any attention to Mrs. Ji and Miss Ji.

Mrs. Ji and Miss Ji were angry when Xu Jinchen said that publicly. To their surprise, Xu Jinchen wouldn’t hesitate to embarrass them. Besides, this time, they could clearly see that Xu Jinchen’s relationship with Zi Beiying wasn’t simple at all.

“Mom, I don’t think he likes me. He never bothers to pay attention to me even after we’ve met a few times. It can’t be more obvious that he likes that woman,” said Ji Zijing, biting her lips heavily. She felt she was a loser.

She really liked Xu Jinchen, although she indeed wanted to climb up the social ladder through him. Anyway, Xu Jinchen was very important in her heart.

Now she realized that she wouldn’t have any chances, especially after knowing that Xu Jinchen already found a girl he liked. She was filled with sadness and disappointment. However, she didn’t know what to do about that.

In fact, compared with people in her friend circle, she was very outstanding when it came to her family background, appearance, academic degree, and job, but she lacked confidence when facing Xu Jinchen, because Xu Jinchen was even better than her.

“I need to ask Mrs. Xu about it,” said Mrs. Ji. She was unwilling to give up, so she took out her phone and called Mrs. Xu at once.

After all, Xu Jinchen was handsome, outstanding and was born in a powerful family, which made him a perfect choice. Actually, even if Xu Jinchen was ugly and good-for-nothing, Mrs. Ji would still choose Xu Jinchen to be her son-in-law.

If a man was only good-looking, he might not be able to make a lot of money. If a man only had abilities, but didn’t have a powerful family to support him, it was hard for him to be successful in the future. As long as he had a powerful family as the support, he could live in the lap of luxury forever even if he didn’t work for a day.

Before long, Mrs. Xu answered the call. When Mrs. Xu received Mrs. Ji’s call, she felt a little guilty, because she hadn’t told Mrs. Ji that Xu Jinchen had already found a girl he liked yet.

Anyway, since Mrs. Ji called this time, she could tell her about that right now, or it would cause more trouble.

“Hi, Mrs. Xu, what are you doing now?” asked Mrs. Ji.

“I’m at home now.” Mrs. Xu said, “Oh, right, Mrs. Ji, I should apologize to you for one thing.”

“What is it?” Mrs. Ji got nervous and immediately thought of Xu Jinchen. Was it true that Xu Jinchen already found a girl he liked? Was it impossible for her daughter to be together with Xu Jinchen?

Although she had that guess, she hoped it wasn’t true.
