Chapter 33: Ignoring the Old People’s Cry (3)
Ji Xinxin was driving her red convertible sports car to the spot where Ling Chuxia stood by the roadside, poised and graceful.
With a sharp turn, the car came to a steady stop in front of Ling Chuxia. Ji Xinxin turned her face slightly, lowered her head a bit, allowing the large black sunglasses on her nose to slide just enough to reveal her enchanting eyes. She looked Ling Chuxia up and down, pouted, and said, "Get in."
Ling Chuxia was already accustomed to her straightforwardness, so she didn’t say much, simply walking around to the other side of the car, pulling open the door of the passenger seat, and getting in.
As soon as she settled in, Ji Xinxin hit the gas pedal, and the red convertible shot forward with lightning speed.
The strong wind ruffled Ling Chuxia’s black hair, blowing it into a bit of a mess. She quickly used her hand to hold her hair, using her fingers as a comb to smooth it out.
Ji Xinxin glanced at her from the corner of her eye and started critiquing without hesitation, "I mean, Ling Chuxia, do you really have to? Mrs. Shi isn’t around now; there’s no need to always maintain that graceful and noble demeanor."
Ling Chuxia’s hand froze slightly, then she smiled, "I’m used to it."
Ji Xinxin shook her head, her words still sharp, "A perfectly fine person, and look at what you’ve been reduced to; it’s utterly dehumanizing. Yet you’re still willing."
Ling Chuxia smiled again without speaking. She knew that Ji Xinxin had always disapproved of Mrs. Shi’s actions, and disapproved of her tolerance, but despite her harsh tongue, she genuinely cared for her.
