Chapter 47 Let’s Try Again Later
"Don’t worry, I’m here." Shen Lingxing held Mi Jing’s right hand, interlocking their fingers, and comforted her softly so that everyone could hear.
Suddenly, Ma Huilian’s newly brightened eyes dimmed again, and a trace of coldness flashed at the corner of her eyes. Mi Jing breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that with Shen Lingxing taking the lead, managing the company probably wouldn’t fall on her shoulders.
Seeing her own grandson showing concern for Mi Jing, the old lady hid her joy deep in her heart and said calmly to the nearby Mrs. Zhou, "Call Zixian. We agreed everyone would gather tonight for dinner, so why isn’t he back yet?"
"Mom, I just called Zixian. He said there’s a traffic jam, and he might be back a bit late." Ma Huilian stopped Mrs. Zhou who was about to make the call, then spoke softly and gently to the old lady.
"Then let’s not wait, start the meal!"
With the old lady’s command, the servants soon began serving the dishes in an orderly manner. Everyone also moved into place and sat down at the dining table one after another.
The table was laid out with exquisite dishes. Just a glance made Mi Jing’s appetite grow, and she immediately felt hungry.
"Traffic jam, I’m late."
Shen Zixian hurried back just before everyone started eating. Hearing this, Mi Jing looked up at the speaker and was stunned when she saw his face.
Isn’t this the mayor who often appears in the city’s news?
