Chapter 38 - An Orphan (1/2)
”Since everyone is here, let's start the lunch. Little Xi, come sit beside me and Mo Chen!” Yang Shu Ling said while she held Mo Xi's hand. Mo Xi hand was still in Jing Mo Chen's palm, so she dragged Jing Mo Chen along with her.
At the dining table.
”Mo Xi, your parents are fine with you dating at such a young age?” Shen Yu Ning asked.
”I was an orphan…” Mo Xi was once again interrupted by Shen Yu Ning.
”Ah?! You are an orphan?! Then, wouldn't you be considered someone without background??”
Mo Xi ignored her and continued, ”However, my parents are supportive of me and Mo Chen's relationship.”
”Little Xi's parents have said that they are supportive.”
”Ah? Who're your parents? Didn't you say that you are an orphan? Are you sure they are not just gold diggers that are trying to rip off some benefits from Mo Chen?”
Hearing this everyone in the Jing family went silent, not because they were afraid that Mo Xi parents would be gold diggers. It was because they were annoyed by Shen Yu Ning's words.
Mo Xi turned to Shen Yu Ning with a cold gaze and said, ”Firstly, I said that I was an orphan, but it doesn't mean that I can't have a family now. Secondly, my parents are Lu Jin Xiao's parents. Thirdly, I am sure every member of the Jing family knows the Lu family well.”
Mo Xi's eyes returned to the innocent and harmless look after she finished speaking, as though the coldness that Shen Yu Ning saw in Mo Xi's eyes was her imagination.
”Little Xi! Lu family recognized you as their daughter?” Yang Shu Ling asked excitedly.
”Mm, you can call them to confirm this.”
”HAHAHAHA! That's great!” Jing Cang laughed.
Shen Yu Ning's grip on the chopsticks tightened and she shot Mo Xi a glare that was so quick, no one could notice it. However, Mo Xi and Jing Mo Chen obviously sensed it but chose to ignore her once again.
After lunch, Shen Yu Ning left as she said that she had work to do. However, she didn't leave immediately, instead, she lingered outside for a while to hear what they were going to say. After ten minutes, Shen Yu Ning left as she felt that they weren't going to say anything important.
Once Mo Xi felt that Shen Yu Ning was no longer around, she turned to look at the members of Jing family. They were all sitting in the living room, waiting for her to say what she wanted to say earlier on.
Jing Mo Chen knew that Mo Xi was going to tell them everything, so he walked towards Mo Xi and gave her a tight hug. He then placed a kiss on Mo Xi's eyelids and said, ”Don't worry, I will always be here for you.”
