We Are Meant To Be

Jing Lu warned Christy Zhong in a disgusted manner, "okay, I'll trust you this time. And you better don't do anything suspicious. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to pay the price."

She was not worried about Christy at all, but as she thought of Jie Zhong and Jiangdu Zhong, also some of their past, she had to watch out for the Zhong family.

Christy was startled. She never thought that Jing Lu would warn her about this and expected to only put up with her blaming. For a moment, Christy felt that Jing Lu was too much to handle. Still, she tried to toughen up and accept everything nonetheless.

"I understand your words. I am especially grateful to President Feng, and will never do any harm to him," Christy answered her, confidently and sincerely.

They have talked for quite some time, and thinking about it, James Feng should be enjoying his time with the kids, shouldn't he?

Jing Lu raised her head, glared at Christy, and warned her once again, "keep every word I said today in your mind. Also, remember what you said to me just now."

Christy would certainly remember every detail of their conversations. However, she couldn't guarantee anything else, despite being very confident in her actions. After all, Christy believed that as long as she could control herself, she could be successful.

"Don't worry, President Lu. If I ever do something so unpleasant towards President Feng, I will wholeheartedly accept even the worst consequences, and I won't forgive myself for the rest of my life," assured Christy passionately to her.

Christy had no idea how to express her feelings for James in front of Jing Lu, and she could only say that to show her sincerity to him.

Usually, people would feel touched when they heard her confession, but Jing Lu was not a person whose feelings could be moved by such things.

Shortly after, Jing Lu snorted, "I'll wait and see." She would test her truth as time went by, and they still had to live together after all.

Jing Lu stood up and left right after she spoke to her.

Christy was standing straight the whole time, and she was tense. And after Jing Lu left, she finally could feel her senses coming back to place. Also, Christy loosened up so much, and she felt great again.

Christy felt that she could handle everything well with Jing Lu; it was not a big deal. But their relationship was a little weird. No matter how tense they were with each other, as long as they often spent time together, they could solve the problem between them someday.

As long as everybody felt at ease, then what was the big deal?

They walked downstairs one after another. At that time, James came out of the room with the kids and spoke loudly: "Weiyue, Juezun, you have to wash your hands first, or else, you will get sick if you eat with dirty hands."

It turned out that they were playing outside and got their hands dirty. Afterward, they felt somewhat hungry and were about to eat. Hence, they had to wash their hands first before eating.

As the kids saw Lu Jing and Christy walking downstairs, they were delighted and greeted happily: "Hello, Grandma! Hello, Auntie Zhong!"

The twins greeted Jing Lu first, and it instantly lifted her mood! Women indeed were strange. They became so touchy when it came to the things they loved the most. Also, regardless of how old they were, they could be so close-minded over several things.

Jing Lu cared about her grandchildren a bit too much, hence why she always fought everything for their sake. But it wasn't the only reason why she did so. The other being, Christy was James's current wife after all, and who knows that she could win their hearts and the kids wouldn't love their grandmother any longer.

It was pitiful for women since they were always worrying about everything all their lives. But could they even handle every single thing in life? Even so, then what?

If someone was close to their death, what could they bring with them to the afterlife anyway? After all, things were easier said than done. Everyone seemed to understand the logic by words, but as the time came, they acted as if they didn't know things at all.

"Hi, kids," Christy spoke to them only after Jing Lu said something. She was also paying attention to her existence in this family and didn't want others to know that she was there.

James eyed them and spoke to the kids: "Wash your hands now, or you are not allowed to eat." Children needed adults to guide them, no matter how smart and thoughtful they were.

As soon as Juezun Feng and Weiyue Feng heard him, they immediately went to the bathroom. They are at zero now. They were tired and out of energy, so they wanted to eat. However, the kids had made a good habit not to eat before they washed their dirty hands.

People had been accepting influences bit by bit from their family environment since they were little. The several habits they learned then seeped into their blood from an early age, and that could affect their whole lives.

Lu Jing was an elegant person, and all her manners were well-defined. So she believed her grandchildren would naturally follow her way of living from learning her habits.

Just then, the doorbell rang, and a servant immediately went to open the door.

James then asked Jing Lu: "Is it my elder sister?"

"Of course, it's her. Who else will come here at this time?" Jing Lu spoke, her tone was full of resentment, and Christy couldn't help but eavesdrop over them. She also wondered, was it for the sake of Tianyue Feng that she came to her house? Also, since James spent most of his time in Linxi, it was rare for him to come here.

James heard Jing Lu's tone just now, and he couldn't help but frown. How could she speak and act that way? Anyways, now that Christy was there and the kids were not too far away, they could easily read Jing Lu's mood.

He was not thinking about Christy, but the kids, since they were sensitive to their mood changes. The adults there had to be extremely careful in their words to them.

"Mom, what are you talking about? Of course, my big sister and I will come here, so does Wenya. My elder brother and sister-in-law will come to visit you as well," James tried to comfort her and reminded Jing Lu that all her children cared about her, so she had to cheer up.
