My Billionaire Husband Claimed Me His Precious Chapter 1077 - 987: Questions

Mrs. Jin’s gaze held a blend of tenderness and acceptance. Xu Jiaojiao listened intently, aware that in Mrs. Jin’s heart, Jin Jing was forever her child who hadn’t quite matured. Yet, in many situations, a sufficient amount of tolerance had been shown, causing subconscious shifts in perspective.

"Jin Jing and I both need to cultivate more patience with each other."

As she uttered these words, a trace of resignation colored her eyes. She carefully examined the other woman's gaze, revealing a profound depth of helplessness within her own, and then continued, "Auntie, you do not need to concern yourself. At times, my own methods are not entirely correct, and I will certainly reflect upon them."

Mrs. Jin harbored no genuine animosity towards Xu Jiaojiao. Particularly after the tribulations that had befallen her son, she felt a sense of apology towards Xu Jiaojiao. Even with this underlying guilt, the unborn child within that other woman was undeniably of the Jin Family, and its existence must be preserved, no matter the circumstances.

"Jiaojiao, I understand that your circumstances are not easy, what with your demanding work. Once you commence filming, you must immerse yourself within the set and cannot avail yourself of rest for many months. I witness this firsthand. There is a matter I wish to discuss with you earnestly. Please hear me out completely before you voice your thoughts."

Her pronouncements were quite lucid, and Xu Jiaojiao grasped their implications fully. However, observing Mrs. Jin’s countenance turn serious, Xu Jiaojiao’s own inner state became subtly unsettled.

"You are acquainted with Meng Chengjun, are you not?"

Mrs. Jin’s inquiry caused a momentary dizziness in Xu Jiaojiao, but she maintained her composure without betraying any sign of unease. She looked earnestly at Mrs. Jin, and could not help but nod, "Yes, I am acquainted with him."

"Since you are aware of him, my conversation becomes simpler. I am cognizant of your affections for Jin Jing; the two of you seem inseparable. It is undoubtedly due to that other woman that your discord arises. Am I correct in this assumption?"

"Yes, Auntie, your assessment is absolutely correct."

Gazing upon the candid Xu Jiaojiao, Mrs. Jin found it difficult to elaborate further. Yet, she could not bring herself to be harsh with Xu Jiaojiao; all she could manage was to articulate her sentiments diplomatically.

"Very well, since you understand, I shall refrain from uttering words solely to placate you. Regardless of which woman faces such a predicament, she would find it unacceptable. However, you are not yet married, and in comparison to the damage wrought by infidelity within a marriage, this situation is somewhat less severe. Thus, I am here to inquire about your intentions."

Xu Jiaojiao had not anticipated Mrs. Jin’s awareness of this matter, nor did she fully comprehend the significance of Meng Chengjun’s involvement. Despite her inability to ascertain certain truths with absolute certainty, she directly informed Mrs. Jin, "I am awaiting his response."

Mrs. Jin regarded her words with a measure of disbelief.

She subtly leaned forward, focusing intently on Xu Jiaojiao, observing her steadfast expression and feeling a sense of bewilderment. Ultimately, she could not refrain from questioning, "You state you are awaiting Jin Jing’s answer. Is this what he communicated to you?"

"Yes, he requested some time to contemplate, and therefore, I am granting him that time."

Xu Jiaojiao’s statement brought an unexpected pang of heartache to Mrs. Jin. Although she remained unaware of Jin Jing’s precise thoughts, inferring from his communication with Xu Jiaojiao, his stance appeared rather uncertain. After all, Meng Chengjun’s condition would soon become visibly apparent. What course of action to take rested entirely upon Jin Jing’s decision.

"It appears that in matters of the heart, you both are proceeding with considerable hesitation."

"I, I deeply value my relationship with Jin Jing, Auntie."

As Xu Jiaojiao spoke, a flicker of warmth and earnestness shone in her eyes. Despite her underlying frustration, she found herself truly unable to bring herself to sever ties over this current dilemma.
