Chapter 1919: What a Hypocritical Woman

Jiang Motian had to interrupt Li Moning and asked, "Actually, they are just some identical things, right?"

"Hmm... pretty much, anyway they are all pink and tender!"

Li Moning held her cheeks with both hands, already impatient to see the two of them wearing sister pajamas!

But Jiang Motian had to remind her: "You acting like this will make the guest feel like she is being excluded."

"Don't worry, Sister, my manners are very thorough. I have prepared some novels for the guest to pass the time!"

"Hmm... forget it, you clearly prepared these for yourself."

"That's not true! Those are all classics I picked out; I can almost recite them! If you don't believe me, I'll recite them for you..."

"Don't, I believe you!"

Jiang Motian would have to be crazy to want to listen to Li Moning recite those teeth-achingly cheesy lines.

However...

Thinking of Sun Qing's status, Jiang Motian reminded Li Moning: "Miss Sun works in the fashion and entertainment industries; she might not like what you've prepared."

Li Moning was quite open-minded about it: "If she doesn't like it, it just means we aren't of the same kind; I won't force it."

"It's good that you think that way. When the time comes, see how things go; don't take them out the moment you meet, so as not to scare her."

"It's not that exaggerated."

After Li Moning finished speaking, she noticed Jiang Motian staring at her speechlessly.

This made her change her tune helplessly: "I know, I know, I'll listen to Sister."

With this assurance, Jiang Motian continued driving.

The two sisters arrived at the villa just about the same time as Sun Qing.

Sun Qing gave off a very cold and aloof impression on the surface.

But when facing someone she wanted to show favor to, she could also be very enthusiastic.

Just like when facing the Li Family sisters, her coldness disappeared without a trace.

Even at the first

meeting, she took out the gifts she had prepared in advance.

These gifts were clearly prepared with care.

The one given to Jiang Motian was a very precious art book.

The out-of-print kind.

As for the one for Li Moning, it was a crystal necklace.

The necklace was very beautiful, yet not too expensive, and could be worn in daily life.

As the saying goes, courtesy demands reciprocity.

Having received the gift, Li Moning was eager to take out her own novels.

But she was stopped by a look from Jiang Motian.

Li Moning was a little unhappy.

Jiang Motian smiled and exchanged pleasantries with Sun Qing: "Miss Sun is very thoughtful."

Sun Qing revealed a perfect smile and replied: "No need to be so formal, just call me Qingqing. Oh, thinking back, the last time we met was many years ago; time really flies."

"It does."

"But meeting again, the sense of familiarity came right back!"

"Being able to reunite shows our fate is not shallow. It's just a pity we didn't prepare anything; it's truly impolite."

"Don't say that. A gift represents a sentiment; as long as you like them, that's enough. No need to think about returning the favor."

Sun Qing's performance could be described as impeccable.

Every expression and smile seemed as if it had been calculated.

And such perfection made Li Moning feel bored.

She had seen too many people like this, without soul or personality.

Li Moning also lost the desire to share her novels and simply stood to the side, daydreaming.

Jiang Motian couldn't daydream; she had to continue chatting with the guest: "I heard you are very busy with work; taking a day off is quite rare."

"It is indeed busy, but one must rest. I just finished filming a movie, so I came here to relax."

After saying this, Sun Qing praised the environment here

at length.

At first listen, these words felt very sincere.

But if you think about it carefully...

Not a single word of it was a specific, genuine compliment.

This script could be used in any place that had flowers.

Jiang Motian began to feel bored too.

However, Li Moning caught a key point and took advantage of the moment Sun Qing paused to ask: "What kind of movie is it, Sister?"

"It's an artistic short film; the director is very impressive."

A short film?

Li Moning didn't usually watch them and had nothing else to ask, so she quieted down again.

And her silence caused a flash of dissatisfaction to cross Sun Qing's eyes.

Although this emotion disappeared very quickly, Jiang Motian caught it.

This made her have to sigh that it really wasn't easy to see the real side of this woman.

At this moment, a servant walked out from the house and said to the group: "Ladies, dinner is served."

There are also servants in the villa to take care of things.

But they have basically never seen Jiang Motian and Li Moning.

They are not particularly clear about the temperaments of the two young ladies.

But being respectful is definitely never wrong.

After hearing this, Jiang Motian said, "Let's eat first, and we can continue chatting in a while."

"Sure, are we eating in the courtyard?"

"Mm, if you don't like..."

"No, I like it very much. The work environment is too noisy, so now I actually prefer a quiet atmosphere."

Having received Sun Qing's affirmative reply, Jiang Motian nodded to the servant.

The servant turned to go prepare to serve the dishes.

Once everything was set up, the three of them took their seats.

Li Moning didn't care about the pleasantries and just focused on eating.

She was eating quite deliciously, in fact.

Jiang Motian was hungry too; she would chat with Sun Qing for a bit, then eat for a while.

And by doing this, she was also accommodating Sun Qing's preferences.

After all, this Miss Sun just likes

a quiet atmosphere.

Yet the sisters' behavior made Sun Qing unhappy.

She thought to herself, they are daughters of a prominent family after all, how can they only know how to eat, eat, eat!

Her bad mood affected Sun Qing's appetite.

Seeing that she hadn't really eaten much, Jiang Motian asked, "Is it not to your taste?"

Sun Qing quickly smiled and explained, "I have to maintain my figure, so I don't dare eat too much."

"I see. Your profession looks glamorous, but it's actually quite hard work."

"Yes, but I love my job. I'm not afraid of hard work, it's just..."

Sun Qing stopped halfway through her sentence.

And she had finally steered the conversation to today's topic!

Sun Qing was excited inside.

But the expression on her face was filled with worry.

Seeing this, Jiang Motian asked, "It's just what?"

"I upset your brother the first time I met him, sigh!"

Sun Qing sighed heavily, looking anxious at the same time.

Li Moning didn't understand, however, and asked, "What does that have to do with anything?"

"Naturally it has to do with it. Mr. Li invests in many projects, and I'm worried that Mr. Li will..."

Sun Qing did not finish her sentence.

But the meaning she wanted to express was obvious.

When smart people chat, what they should do is stop at the right point so as not to make each other awkward.

But this method of hers is meant for the adult world.

For Li Moning?

She had to get to the bottom of it: "Are you worried my brother will secretly trip you up?"

"No, no, that's not what I meant!"

"Then what do you mean?"

Li Moning tilted her head, her clear, bright eyes full of curiosity.

Sun Qing felt like she was going to vomit blood!

She thought to herself, this brat... she's doing this on purpose, right!

Under normal circumstances, shouldn't they

be finding a way to ease her relationship with Li Xingyan?

Why ask so many questions!
