My Billionaire Husband Claimed Me His Precious Chapter 1075 - 985: Being a Man

If he were still the same as before, unsure how to refute Duosu Anju, his mother would not have benefited in the end. But now, things were different. Seriously contemplating it, he realized that as a man, he couldn't even manage a woman, a true failure indeed.

Thinking of Meng Chengjun, Jin Jing felt a knot of unease in his heart. However, after confirming something, he no longer dwelled on Meng Chengjun's presence. His feelings for Xu Jiaojiao remained steadfast; after all, Xu Jiaojiao was the one he truly loved.

Xu Jiaojiao felt a bit perturbed by Jin Jing's call. Yet, she understood Jin Jing must be in turmoil and unsure how to make a decision, so she resolved to grant him more time and not make things unduly difficult.

Unexpectedly, two days later, Mrs. Jin's call came through.

"Jiaojiao, this is Jin Jing's mother."

Surprised, Xu Jiaojiao's demeanor instantly shifted to caution. She rose to her feet and replied, "Hello, Auntie."

"Are you working?"

Xu Jiaojiao glanced at her assistant before stepping aside and replied, "Yes, I'm currently on set."

"Well, if you have some free time, let's meet up. I haven't seen you in quite a while; let's have a meal together."

Thinking of Jin Jing and anticipating that Mrs. Jin might be calling because of him, Xu Jiaojiao readily agreed, "Okay, Auntie, I'll call you as soon as I finish work."

Although Mrs. Jin's call brought some relief to Xu Jiaojiao, with Meng Chengjun's belly growing larger each day, Jin Jing didn't have much time to deliberate.

Xu Jiaojiao deliberately chose to dress up for her meeting with Mrs. Jin.

Aware that Mrs. Jin generally disliked overly flashy attire on young women, Xu Jiaojiao opted for a more subdued ensemble, selecting quiet, elegant clothing. Possessing a naturally carefree spirit, she paired her outfit with a black leather jacket and a touch of light makeup, which lent her a valiant and dashing appearance.

"Sister Jiaojiao, around what time will you be back? We have two scenes scheduled for tomorrow morning."

"I'm aware. I'll absolutely be back by ten at the latest, don't worry."

Xu Jiaojiao understood her current condition wasn't ideal, and her assistant's concern was natural. Because of this concern, her assistant wanted to accompany her everywhere, a prospect Xu Jiaojiao didn't particularly welcome. So, she gave a few instructions and departed.

She arranged to meet at a tea house she had visited before. Since Mrs. Jin had a distinct fondness for Cantonese cuisine, it would be convenient for her to order some of her favorite dishes.

All the way to the restaurant, Xu Jiaojiao repeatedly reminded herself to remain patient and not to let Mrs. Jin perceive any discord between her and Jin Jing. She wished to avoid causing any unnecessary misunderstandings for Mrs. Jin, believing it was best to resolve matters sooner rather than later.

Initially, Mrs. Jin held certain reservations about the acting profession, harboring some prejudices. However, due to Xu Jiaojiao's amiable personality, she didn't object and largely followed Mrs. Jin's advice, leading to consistently pleasant interactions between them. Thus, Mrs. Jin's suggestion to meet likely stemmed from not having seen each other for a while and a desire to catch up.

"Hello, I’ve reserved a table."

Xu Jiaojiao announced, and to her surprise, as the server guided her to the table, Mrs. Jin was already there.

"Auntie, why didn't you let me know you had arrived? I apologize for making you wait."

Mrs. Jin observed Xu Jiaojiao's slightly pale face, then stood and said, "We’re familiar with each other, please sit down quickly."

"Would you care for some tea?"

As soon as she sat down, Xu Jiaojiao asked Mrs. Jin, her eyes conveying a gentle warmth.
