Chapter 1257: Inheritor
"What did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly. "
It was easy for people to act coquettishly when they were weak, and Shuyin had started to act coquettishly with Jing Rui without her knowing.
Jing Rui kissed her forehead gently to satisfy her girlish desire. He repeated,""I love you."
When she heard him say those three words, Shuyin felt that if she was dreaming right now, she would rather not wake up.
After a warm night, she woke up the next day to find Jing Rui still by her side. He had his arms around her waist and his chin was on her forehead. She was satisfied to see his fresh scent.
She did not care about losing her mother or sister, she only cared about Jing Rui.
Whether it was Jiang Manshu or Li Jing, she would always be able to find a way to deal with them. If it really didn't work, she would just use the virus first.
Jing Rui noticed that Shuyin was in better spirits when he got up in the morning. He suddenly felt that even though Shuyin was strong-willed, girls still needed to be coaxed.
He had only said "I love you", and Shuyin was already so satisfied. It was just that he didn't get up to work in the morning, but waited for her to wake up before leaving. This made her feel much more at ease.
He held Shuyin's hand and went downstairs to eat breakfast. Then he saw Jing Xi running in like a gust of wind and shouting,""Brother, dad said that Lou Ziling really wanted to save me! He didn't know that the Lou family had arranged for someone to kidnap me! He's a good person!"
Jing Rui did not show any emotion, but Shuyin smiled. She quickly walked down the stairs and picked Jing Xi up in her arms. "That's right. Xixi is loved by everyone. Lou Ziling has no reason not to save her."
Jing Xi had finally found a soulmate. She hugged Shuyin and giggled."Yes, yes, I'm so likable! Even if you shave your head, people will still like it!"
Shuyin touched Jing Xi's smooth little head and smiled.""Has the wound on your head healed? Look at you, how come you don't feel any pain at all!"
"It's fine, it doesn't hurt anymore!"
Jing Xi couldn't care less about her injury. She wanted to tell the world that Lou Ziling had saved her for no other reason.
"Sister-in-law, do you think I should marry Lou Ziling? You haven't seen him before, but he's so handsome, even more handsome than my brother! He likes me very much and is very good to me!"
Lou Ziling barely spoke to her and ignored her. She didn't know how Lou Ziling could tell that he liked her.
Moreover, before Jing Xi was saved, Lou Ziling's looks were not even better than Jing Rui 's. After saving her, her looks soared in Jing Xi's heart and directly surpassed Jing Rui' s.
Jing Rui shook his head helplessly. When would his sister change her habit of marrying every handsome man she saw?
Shuyin didn't take it seriously. She liked to hear Jing Xi's chatter. This girl was a natural happy person, and people couldn't help but like her.
"If you want to marry Lou Ziling, you have to wait until you're 18. Now, let's have some breakfast and try to grow taller!"
This hit Jing Xi's soft spot. She nodded.""Yes, yes, yes, sister-in-law, you're right. I have to grow taller! Is there any virus that can make me grow up faster?"
When Shuyin heard the first half of her sentence, she thought that she would have to eat more in the future. She didn't expect her to mention the virus at the end.
There were a lot of viruses and hormones that could help things grow, but they obviously couldn't be given to Jing Xi.
Shuyin placed Jing Xi on the dining chair and handed her a glass of milk. She smiled and said,""Drink more milk. It's more effective than any virus."
Jing Xi was not a picky eater. She could eat anything, except for milk and goat's milk. She didn't even like yogurt. Most of the time, she only drank fruit juice.
She stared at the glass of milk and said with a frown,""Sister-in-law, I didn't study much. Don't lie to me!"
Shuyin was amused by her words. Seeing her frowning pink face, she couldn't bear to see her like this. She reached out and took the milk back."Forget it. If you don't like it, then we won't drink it. It's the same if we eat something else to supplement calcium. How about we have pork rib soup for lunch?"
In fact, Jing Xi had developed very well and was already considered very tall among her peers. Shangguan ning had also paid attention to giving her daughter calcium and had a reasonable diet. It was fine for her to not drink milk.
But Jing Xi seemed to have made up her mind. She bit her lip, grabbed the glass from Shuyin, and finished the milk in one go.
After she finished drinking, she stuffed her mouth with the crisp and delicious cucumber salad and finally suppressed the taste of the milk.
"AI, it's really bad! Can't the mother cow's milk be left for the calves? Who started this?"
Even Jing Rui couldn't stand it anymore. He was angry and amused at the same time. "Don't drink it if you don't like it. I feel like it's torture just to see you drink."
He had heard from Jing Yichen that his family had tried many ways to make Jing Xi drink fresh milk, but she refused to drink it. Now she was drinking it for Lou Ziling. How could his parents accept this?
"That won't do. I have to take in calcium and grow up! Milk is nutritious, and you'll grow quickly after drinking it!"
Jing Xi ate another piece of cucumber, still not forgetting that she was going to marry Lou Ziling.""Brother, haven't you been cleaning up the Lou family recently? Can you give the Lou family a way out? otherwise, I'll marry into the Lou family and become a beggar with Lou Ziling. "
Jing Rui almost spat out the water he had just drunk.
She hadn't even had a chance to do anything, and she was already thinking about gaining benefits for the Lou family?
Did Lou Ziling know how charming he was?
"The Lou family won't fall. It's just that someone else will be the family's successor."
Jing Rui looked at his sister's hopeful eyes and laughed."Lou Ziling was my chosen successor. His father has good vision and strategy, but he has been keeping a low profile. Even if he doesn't work with our family, he can still live a good life in A city. No matter how poor he is, he won't have to beg for food."
Lou mingzhen's family was eager to make a move, but Lou Mingyang's family did not.
Although they were both surnamed Lou, there was a difference. Jing Rui would not blame Lou Mingyang for Lou mingzhen's ambition and mistake.
In Jing Rui's opinion, it was unlikely that Jing Xi would marry Lou Ziling, but he should still express his gratitude to Lou Ziling for saving Jing Xi.
Now that his father had returned to the country, he should have been in contact with Lou Mingyang. Soon, the power-holder of the Lou family would be changed.
Lou Mingyang was only 42 years old, ten years younger than Lou mingzhen. He could still manage the Lou family for many years until Lou Ziling grew up. Then, he would hand the family over to his son.
In the future, Lou Ziling would definitely take over the Lou family.
Jing Xi's eyes curved into crescents as she smiled."Oh my, I have good taste. The point is, Lou Ziling is still young. I can start building up my relationship with him now!"
Jing Rui kept shaking his head. Jing Xi was the youngest when Lou Ziling was mentioned.
She felt that Lou Ziling was a good person. Her passion was exactly the same as when she liked mu Sen. She would probably stop after a while when she liked someone else.
She was only eight years old, still a little girl.
She would only understand what true love was after at least ten years.
