At seven thirty, Su Ding had just changed her clothes when she heard car horns outside.
She glanced outside and saw a Jin family vehicle.
"Madam Jin is really serious about going to the temple, coming so early to rush me."
Su Ding thought silently, slung her backpack over her shoulder, and walked out the door. Outside was a Land Rover.
The driver saw Su Ding in her bright and lively sportswear, her hair tied in a ponytail, looking very young and beautiful, like a college student. Although her expression was a little cold, she had a captivating aura.
He had seen the hot searches that morning and thought Su Ding would be in a bad state today, but he didn't expect...
She truly is a celebrity; her emotional management is excellent.
He greeted Su Ding politely, helped open the car door, and invited Su Ding to get in.
"Hmm? Where's Madam Jin?"
Su Ding raised her eyebrows. Apart from the driver, there was no one else in the car.
Yesterday, Zhao Qin had specifically sent her a message, telling her not to delay going to the temple. Su Ding had thought Zhao Qin was in the car, but it seemed she had misunderstood.
The driver explained, "Madam is still tidying up at home. I'll pick you up and take you to the main residence now."
Su Ding said "oh" and closed her eyes to rest.
She hadn't slept well last night and had woken up early. She was still a bit groggy.
The driver didn't say anything further and drove towards the Jin family's main residence.
The Jin family's main residence was not far from Su Ding's villa, about a ten-minute drive.
"Miss Su, please wait."
The driver stopped the car and called Zhao Qin, speaking a few words.
Afterward, the driver escorted Su Ding to the living room. Zhao Qin was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror in the living room, admiring her outfit for the day, which was also sportswear, making her look much younger.
Seeing Su Ding arrive, she didn't greet her.
Su Ding glanced at her indifferently and said nothing, sitting down on the living room sofa very consciously.
She was already very familiar with this place.
Zhao Qin had deliberately made Su Ding wait, never expecting Su Ding to treat the place as her own home. She immediately lost the mood to admire herself in the mirror.
She walked up to Su Ding and said unhappily, "When you see an elder, don't you even say hello?"
"Oh, I thought you hadn't seen me."
Su Ding smiled, gave a perfunctory explanation, and asked, "Madam Jin, can we leave now?"
Zhao Qin felt as if she had been choked.
She put on a stern face and sat on the sofa opposite Su Ding, saying, "Before we leave, there are things I need to tell you."
Su Ding raised her eyebrows. "Speak."
"This time, when I go to Qingfeng Temple, I'm going to see a highly accomplished monk to have him predict our fortunes. Some of my sisters will also be going, and they will bring their daughters-in-law. Don't embarrass me."
Zhao Qin said arrogantly. In fact, she looked down on Su Ding quite a bit, but remembering the jade bracelet her son had bought her and his requests, she was willing to bring Su Ding along.
Of course, the most important reason was that she hoped the monk could teach her how to break Su Ding's karmic connection with her son.
This was the real purpose of her trip.
Su Ding nodded. "I understand."
As long as she remained silent and did not express any opinions, she would not make any mistakes. Moreover, she was too lazy to deal with those socialite ladies.
Zhao Qin reminded her again, "If you embarrass me, I'll never forgive you."
Su Ding frowned, a little impatient. "Are we going or not?"
Zhao Qin was annoyed by being retorted. However, seeing the time and the fact that her friends were already urging her in their group chat, she finally picked up her bag and went out.
Ten minutes later, Zhao Qin and Su Ding were seated in the back row.
Neither of them spoke to the other.
Su Ding was watching short videos on her phone, wearing headphones, creating her own little world.
Zhao Qin also started scrolling through her phone. Suddenly, she saw a breaking news alert pop up, and her expression changed. "Su Ding Rejected After Seeking Reconciliation, Kisses Stranger at Concert?"
She zoomed in on the picture, looked at it, then looked at Su Ding.
She confirmed it was the same person.
Zhao Qin immediately became furious. "My son is still thinking about you, and you're going to someone else's concert and kissing a stranger?"
She directly pushed Su Ding's arm and said, "Su Ding, you need to explain this to me."
