We Are Meant To Be novel Chapter 213

Jing Lu was smart enough to immediately realize that she couldn’t show this emotion in front of Christy Zhong. Hence, she tried to conceal her mood and said to him: “Well, you should contact your elder brother and tell him to come back sooner.”

Jing Lu would always have a headache when it came to her eldest son Zhangdong Feng since she disliked his wife, Yuchen Gui. Also, she felt very helpless every time she had to look at Christy. She could not say much about her sons since they were all the same.

“Okay,” James Feng answered her and glanced at the door. Shortly after, Zijin Feng came in quickly. She saw James’s car parked outside. However, she respectfully greeted Jing Lu before anyone else.

James asked her: “Where did you go?”

The twins had washed their hands and ran out. As soon as they met Zijin Feng and heard James’s question to her, they answered on behalf of her, “Papa, don’t you know? Auntie has a boyfriend now. She must be out for a date.”

These kids sure knew every latest update in this family and left the adults speechless.

A flush crept on Zijin Feng’s face as she heard them, and immediately responded: “Don’t talk nonsense!” But she also admitted their words indirectly through her bashful expression, which exposed her.

“Sigh,” Jing Lu disliked Nuofeng Fang, but also felt helpless since she knew the outcome. She could only turn a blind eye, yet would always feel unhappy about this.

On the other hand, James felt delighted because he had never seen Zijin Feng cheerful after all this time. It was also natural for a beautiful woman like her to be happy as she found a man who loved her. It was a good thing happening to her.

“Sister, kids would not lie, so are they speaking the truth just now?” James was not teasing her, and his face showed concern towards her. Seeing this kind of scene warmed up Zijin Feng’s heart.

She was clear that James was the only person in their family who genuinely wanted her to be happy.

Meanwhile, Christy stood beside James, just like a bird following its master obediently. They matched each other harmoniously, and whoever looked at them would feel radiant in their hearts.

Zijin Feng’s cheeks turned pink as she nodded to James. She was too shy and lowered her head deeply.

Jing Lu couldn’t resist looking at the scene in front of her; then she spoke: “you have to grow up, don’t just go head over heels to him only because he treats you well. Women also have to use their logic when it comes to love.”

Although her words seemed a bit too much, it made sense. However, different circumstances had different outcomes! An ordinary woman born beautiful and perfect in every aspect would have many men pursuing her and had to choose one of them.

But for Zijin Feng, she felt so lucky to have someone pursuing her, let alone to be able to pick one of many? As long as that man accepted her the way she is, Zijin Feng would be joyful and content and will treasure him wholeheartedly.

“Okay,” when it comes to Jing Lu, how could Zijin Feng not listen to her? She feared Jing Lu more than Christy feared her since Jing Lu had overshadowed her since she was a kid.

Usually, if children couldn’t get their parents’ affection, they would get some from their grandparents. But in Zijin Feng’s case, she was sent abroad alone from an early age. And it goes without saying; she had never received much love from her family.

James comforted her, ”it’s okay, take your time and get along with each other well. I will find time to talk with him. He is Nuofeng Fang, right?”

Feng Zijin was surprised once again after she heard James. Her boyfriend was Xinping Fang’s elder brother, and now he almost became James’s eldest brother-in-law? What a small world! Perhaps, James went along with some of her friends as well?

“Yes,” she answered.

Meanwhile, James had noticed that Christy was somewhat weird since she showed hesitation as he looked at her. Christy lightly shook her head to show him that she was alright.

Besides, James could not ask her at times like this! So he saved his doubt for later and would find a chance to talk to her later.

“We want to eat dessert!” The adults were too carried away in their conversation and neglected the little kids right there. They were starving and needed to refuel their energy.

“Let’s go. Grandma will eat with you,” Jing Lu ordered a nanny to bring out fruits and desserts as they walked to the dining room.

And since it was almost dinner time, they could not overeat.

After dinner, Zijin Feng felt the urge to talk to James in private, so he was short in time for Christy. Everyone in the world had their problems, and they always thought that they didn’t have enough time to solve everything.

James held Christy’s hand gently as he spoke to Zijin Feng, “don’t take mom’s words into the heart. You too should talk about love someday, and if something ever happened to you, you have to tell me first, understood?”

It was nearly impossible for James to neglect his sister at all. Furthermore, he knew that Nuofeng Fang’s feelings were not that sincere towards her.

Then the latter nodded. Zijin Feng was determined; as long as Nuofeng Fang didn’t abandon her, then she would not leave him no matter what. She made this the principle of her life and was sober enough to realize that she felt inferior, and that was why she did so.

“Of course, I will definitely let you know,” replied Zijin Feng earnestly. People, especially women, would always want to have someone to rely on, and that someone might be their beloved one or their relatives.

And Zijin Feng was sure she could only rely upon James.

“Let’s go and talk on the sofa.” James continued: “Now tell me, how did you guys meet.”

Recently, it was a bit too hectic for James, and he didn’t have the time to even think about Zijin Feng and how she spent her days. She was eager to find herself a lover, but no matter what, she held a principle to herself that the man should treat her nicely.
