Chapter 224

When they went to Berlin, they were light as a feather, but upon returning, Jing family's private jet could barely accommodate this group of people.

Jing Yi, Jing Zejun, Shen Xi, and Marso were chatting away, with Henry and Jing Zeqian occasionally interjecting a few words. Benjamin, though quieter, also joined in from time to time.

Jing Zeyou and Ross sat on the other side, discussing work matters.

Jing Beicheng accompanied Lin Ruiqing, talking about Hengjing's annual meeting next week, occasionally glancing at the group of young people.

Lin Ruiqing smiled, "This is the first time I've felt such liveliness on this plane."

Jing Beicheng's eyes showed helplessness, but his lips curved upwards, "Who says otherwise? Maybe it's time to buy a bigger one?"

Lin Ruiqing chuckled at her husband, "No need, they just enjoy gathering together to chat." But then she thought, "But it might be good to have a few more, so when schedules clash, it's easier to arrange."

The children are all grown up now, each busy with their own work. It's better to prepare more of these things.

Jing Beicheng opened his mouth, unsure if his wife was trying to save money for him or was worried he might be saving too much.

"...Alright."

...

After the Super Cup ended, Henry insisted on coming to Hua Country with her, claiming it was to relax, and even dragged Ross and the others along.

But he hadn't even participated in the competition, so what was there to relax from?

Still, having friends visit, Jing Yi was quite happy.

A few days later, Jing Yi was no longer happy. She knew Henry was a very energetic person, but she never expected his energy levels to be this extreme!

For several days straight, Jing Yi was almost asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow, only to wake up and start a 'special forces' style tour.

So, Jing Yi handed Henry and Benjamin over to her second brother, since they seemed to get along well. As for Benjamin, a slow-to-warm-up person should be paired with a social butterfly.

Ross, on the other hand, seemed quite interested in Hengjing and had been accompanying her older brother to visit Hengjing these past few days.

As for Marso, she seemed to have found another 'toy'—Li Chengsheng.

Jing Yi had reason to suspect that it was definitely his red hair that attracted her friend!

Finally, she could get some rest!

Jing Yi stretched and was about to lie down when her phone rang.

"Jing Yi Yi, I caught Gu Lin!"

Jing Yi's eyes snapped open. Well, there's more work to do!

...

"Little niece! I thought you were a pure and lovely girl, but you actually used the strategy of 'luring the enemy into a trap'!"

Gu Lin looked at Shen Xi, who stood in front of him, his eyes filled with disappointment.

Chen Yisi, beside him, sipped some water lightly, smiling at Shen Xi's antics, showing no intention of helping his friend.

"It's 'catching a turtle in a jar'!"Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"..."Can't you say something nicer now that I'm caught?"

Gu Lin didn't expect the situation to reverse so quickly. Not long ago, he was the one using Chen Yisi to ambush Shen Xi, and now Shen Xi had learned to use Chen Yisi to lure him into a trap.

And his childhood friend! The matchmaker for their relationship! His good friend!

What a heartless guy!

Chen Yisi didn't care about Gu Lin's glare at all, even having the mood to fetch juice for Shen Xi.

"Tired? Have some juice first. Don't worry, I'm watching him."

Gu Lin: ...Heartless!

Shen Xi downed the juice in one go, "Uncle Gu, why were you avoiding me?" Gu Lin stared blankly, "Why were you chasing me?"

"I wasn't chasing you!" She was just blocking him, that's all.

Chen Yisi glanced over, smiling elegantly, "Mind your words."

Gu Lin was speechless, "Why were you blocking me?"

"No, I just wanted to ask you something." Gu Lin turned away, not looking at Shen Xi, "Give up, I'll never tell!"

"Is that so?" Jing Yi walked in from outside the restaurant, smiling at Gu Lin, who was surrounded.

Gu Lin: ...This is it, there's no escape now.

Jing Yi sat in the seat Shen Xi vacated, looking at Gu Lin, who had nowhere to hide, and said impatiently, "Am I a bomb? Why are you avoiding me so much?"

She didn't really want to ask Gu Lin anything; she could just go ask Shen Huaichu herself if she had the time.

Well, ​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‍she wanted to know if her mysterious boyfriend was still alive.

Gu Lin widened his eyes, "...Isn't that a bit too harsh?"

Jing Yi smiled faintly, "So he's still alive, huh? It's been so long without a word."

It had been so long since her race, and there was no news. She was beginning to think Ross had seen a ghost that day.

Gu Lin stammered but never got to the point. Jing Yi could tell he wasn't going to spill anything, but seeing Gu Lin like this, that person should be fine.

Jing Yi looked at Chen Yisi, who was now huddled with Shen Xi, discussing the menu.

"So this is the legendary Mr. Chen." The master who had captured Shen Xi.

Seeing that Jing Yi had finished her business, Shen Xi grabbed the menu and moved to her side. Chen Yisi realized too late that his little girlfriend had moved to the other side.

Nice to meet you, Miss Jing. I didn't want to disturb you at the hospital, so let me introduce myself properly. I'm Chen Yisi, Xi Xi's boyfriend.

Judging by appearances, the probability of him winning over Shen Xi was as high as 70%.

"Nice to meet you, I've heard a lot about you."

Shen Xi lightly bumped Jing Yi's shoulder. Don't think she didn't hear the teasing in Jing Yi's tone!

Jing Yi chuckled playfully. It seems Xi Xi isn't being fooled.

The three of them started chatting, none of them paying attention to Gu Lin, who was trapped on the side.

He was getting a bit annoyed, "You called me here just to watch you guys chat?" There's no way to leave the protagonist out like this.

Jing Yi blinked, smiling, "So, are you ready to tell me something?" Gu Lin shut his mouth again, looking away.

Jing Yi said impatiently, "You don't talk when I ask, and you complain about being ignored?"

Gu Lin chuckled a few times, "Can we talk about something else? Like that move you used to ride the slipstream of the other racer during the final sprint in the Super Cup!"

That move was really cool. No wonder the whole stadium was shouting like that, and he even forgot his original purpose, his mind filled with the image of Jing Yi crossing the finish line.

Jing Yi's lips curved slightly, "You were at the scene?" Gu Lin's face changed, "No! I, I watched the live broadcast!"

Jing Yi didn't pursue the matter further. Gu Lin's expression was too obvious to fool anyone.

"It was just a gamble. There wasn't much time to think."

She said it casually, but that video was still being deeply analyzed by various racers and coaches, repeatedly watched and studied.

Gu Lin was no exception. However, being a bit of a relative, asking Jing Yi to teach him shouldn't be too much, right?

Jing Yi and Shen Xi finalized the menu, not even lifting an eyelid.

"Excuse me, what relationship do we have?"

Gu Lin was shocked. He was almost ready to call her sister-in-law. Wasn't this just waiting for his brother to get some status?

"It's a bit because of..." Jing Yi raised an eyebrow, "Because of what?"

Gu Lin retracted his words, forcing a smile, "Because of my mom."

Shen Xi, Chen Yisi: ...You really have guts.
