"Si Jing, if it’s because of the last ti I bumped into you, I want to tell you there’s no need for compensation; you’ve already hired a caretaker for , and we are even now. I won’t pester you, nor will I cause any trouble for the Si Family."
Chen Ling could only think that the reason this man was so caring was because he was worried she would cling to him over the last incident.
"There’s no more compensation; I just happened to visit the set, that’s all," Si Jing firmly explained, but only his heart, beating rapidly, clearly reminded him that he didn’t just go to the set to visit.
He also wanted to see Chen Ling’s face and watch her intelligent expressions while she was seriously acting.
"Really?" Chen Ling was half-doubtful, not because she wanted to be overly sensitive, but because the looks from most of the investors always kept her on guard.
People like Si Jing were not soone she could afford to offend, nor did she want to get tangled up with them. Sang Qiao and Sister Ah He were nice people, but Si Jing was ultimately the one they were closest to.
And she was just an actor with a bit of potential, nothing more. She knew very well who would be abandoned if sothing really happened.
"Chen Ling, don’t worry; I won’t do anything to hurt you," Si Jing swallowed nervously, feeling he needed to sort out his own feelings.
But he couldn’t scare Chen Ling before doing that. He had always acted casually and didn’t care much, yet this was the first ti he was so eager to see soone.
"Mm, okay," Chen Ling finally felt relieved, seeing a glint of sincerity in the man’s serious tone.
They did not talk on the way to the hospital, and after Chen Ling had her wounds treated, Si Jing didn’t try to detain her but instead took her straight ho.
Today, Chen Ling obviously saw sothing even he himself hadn’t realized.
Continuing to hold her back would seem very suspicious.
And Si Jing’s taking her ho obviously made the wariness on Chen Ling’s face completely disappear.
Seeing the woman walk away, Si Jing couldn’t help but smile bitterly; he never thought he would have such a day.
Probably because of his frustrations in love, Si Jing had no interest in going back to work at the company and instead went ho.
He was usually very carefree, but now his face was suddenly full of sorrow which made Mrs. Si notice right away, "What’s wrong? Why the long face?"
"It’s nothing; just feeling a bit down," Si Jing wasn’t ready to tell his mother about it.
"I have never seen you upset over sothing trivial. You look like you’ve been dumped by a woman," Mrs. Si comnted offhandedly.
However, her words caused Si Jing to stiffen noticeably. He was too obvious, and Mrs. Si finally understood.
"No way; I was just saying. Did soone really dump you?"
"Mom, stop guessing, there’s nothing like that. It’s all undecided," Si Jing quickly composed himself, leaning back on the couch.
"Co on, tell which girl it is? It’s the first ti I’ve seen you sad over a woman. You are inexperienced in love, but Mom knows better. Maybe I can give you so advice."
Mrs. Si’s face was full of anticipation, not expecting Si Jing to actually have soone he liked.
She, as his mother, had to help out properly; otherwise, she’d worry about him being lonely forever.
"I can handle it, let’s not talk about it. She’s not interested in , and she doesn’t like us bothering her."
Si Jing, although not good at concealing his words, still didn’t want to reveal Chen Ling’s information. He feared his mother’s enthusiasm might scare her off, making her dislike him even more.
But without his mother’s help, he didn’t know how to proceed or how to pursue her.
Today, just showing a bit of care had already made Chen Ling aware, even thinking about distancing herself from him.
"Don’t worry, Mom is sensible, just tell . I will definitely help you," Mrs. Si firmly reassured her second son.
Without so skills, he wouldn’t know how to win a girl’s affection, and keeping it from her only made it harder to pursue her.
"Chen Ling, she’s an artist under elder sister’s company, Mom, please don’t disturb her rashly. She’s smart and will sense if sothing is amiss."
Si Jing eventually couldn’t resist revealing the na, hoping his mother could help.
"Ah, the surna Chen, what a coincidence. I will check her profile later and plan sothing for you; definitely a way to help you pursue her. Since she’s under your sister’s managent, it’s even better to help, the whole family is your support."
Mrs. Si patted her son’s shoulder, feeling confident about the situation.
As long as the girl didn’t dislike Si Jing, slowly bringing them together, they could be a couple soon.
"Okay, I understand. Just ask elder sister not to command her to do anything; she might resent that. I don’t want to coerce her."
Si Jing worriedly instructed, which was why, although he was an investor, he never used any of his own power; he didn’t want to force Chen Ling to do anything she was unwilling to do.
"I know, don’t worry. Am I that type of person?" Mrs. Si reproached her younger son.
Was he so fallen in love that he’d forgotten even their family’s character? How could she possibly force a girl for her son’s marriage? It should be consensual love.
She would just help out a bit in making a match.
"Okay," Si Jing nodded, still feeling a bit uneasy.
He was already regretting revealing Chen Ling’s na, his inability to keep things secret was irkso to him.
"That’s okay; just wait for to arrange things," Mrs. Si stated and started looking up Chen Ling’s information on her phone.
The internet was full of information about Chen Ling, getting criticized or negativity was all too common for celebrities, so she only focused on the positive aspects.
Soon, she beca quite familiar with the girl’s background, feeling more inspired as she read. She was astounded that despite having no parents, the girl was so hardworking.
She had been treated so poorly at her previous company; it was good she t Ah He.
"This girl seems really nice, and her looks are so familiar, especially like soone I once knew."
What Mrs. Si said was actually quite tactful; it wasn’t just a resemblance, but rather almost exactly the sa. However, rembering the circumstances of that person from the past...
It was tragic; whether that little girl was still alive was unknown.
"Looks like whom?" Si Jing curiously asked.
"Never mind, in a couple of days, I’ll discuss it with Qiaoqiao, then invite her to our ho for dinner. You need to behave well and not act nonchalantly. Understand?"
Mrs. Si earnestly instructed, although Si Jing had matured a lot compared to before, sotis he was still childish.
