While Tianxia Longteng was busy with Xiu Jingrui’s detention, Jiang Shining drove according to the navigation and arrived below Ninglu Media’s company.
Ninglu Media was actually a facade of strength, but in the eyes of the public, it was still an invisible, established company. No one suspected it was on the verge of collapse, perhaps because Ninglu Media’s location and decor were still top-notch.
Her company was located in P City, a renowned hub for media and financial companies. It was the headquarters of many of P City’s largest corporations. The area resembled Silicon Valley or Wall Street in the US, with its strikingly modern design. Many tourists flocked there for photo ops. The employees strolling through the streets were typically dressed in suits or short skirts, looking sharp and polished.
Even though Ninglu Media relied on a few artists to run its business, its appearance was quite bright and it didn’t have the feeling of being an old and run-down company at all.
As Jiang Shining toured the company that the robot had forced upon her, she felt a little puzzled. How could the company still function normally without the boss? And who was helping her?
At this time, the receptionist at the front desk stood up, folded her hands on her abdomen, and smiled politely.
“Ma’am, how can I help you?” the receptionist asked with a smile. “If you’re looking for someone, you’ll need to sign in here.”
“Hello, I want to see the person in charge of the company.”
Jiang Shining was wearing sunglasses, a bun, and a beret today, looking very cool and elegant. So, her incoherent words startled the receptionist, who didn’t know how to react for a moment.
A woman’s beauty was not only reflected in her face. Her level of education or career preference could also be seen from her delicate makeup, appropriate clothing, aura, posture and even a single movement.
So even though she didn’t show her face, the receptionist still thought she was a celebrity or someone important. But the process still had to be followed.
“Uh…Okay, ma’am, but a meeting with our vice president requires an appointment. Please register your name and relevant information.”
“My name is Jiang Shining, my phone number is 1XXX…”
Before Jiang Shining finished speaking, she saw the receptionist being a little dazed. She then lowered her head and flipped something on the table, after which she raised her head.
“Ms. Jiang, please follow me. I’ll notify the vice president right away. He’ll be here soon.”
Following her lead, Jiang Shining arrived at a small conference room. She noticed that the company’s corridors and surroundings were clean and new, but the office staff was sparse. This was an entertainment and media company with the appearance of a large company, but a downsized one.
Judging from the reaction of the young lady at the front desk, this “vice president” obviously knew her and had even left her name, was he waiting for her to come and find him? Jiang Shining didn’t know if the robot had pressed some random button again.
If this person was assigned to be some top-notch person, or ended up being her former mortal enemy, she swore that she would definitely remove the robot’s little claws!
Jiang Shining had only waited in the conference room for about twenty minutes when she heard faint footsteps coming from outside the half-covered door.
“Mr. Wang, Ms. Jiang is inside.” She heard the receptionist say.
“I understand, thank you.” Another low voice sounded.
Wait, why does this voice sound familiar?
The sound of the receptionist’s high heels gradually faded away, and a young man in a suit pushed open the door and walked in. He then turned around and closed the door tightly.
He turned his head and looked at Jiang Shining, and the calmness he had just shown disappeared.
He fell to his knees with a thud, and it was a solid, unimpeded fall. The dull sound of his knees hitting the ground made his teeth chatter.
“Mother!” the visitor cried out in sorrow.
Jiang Shining stood up slowly and looked at him in disbelief.
“…Jing Xuan?” she murmured.
The visitor turned out to be Jing Xuan, her own flesh and blood from the world of palace fighting. …Jing Xuan was actually in charge of managing this entertainment media company that she had been too lazy to even look at all year?
Because of her own reasons, she delayed a year before meeting Jing Xuan again?
Jiang Shining stood there stiffly, still recovering from the sudden surprise and self-blame. It was clear that Jing Xuan had known the truth before her. He subconsciously took two steps forward on his knees before climbing up and coming to Jiang Shining. Jiang Shining almost subconsciously tried to hug him, but her efforts were in vain. Because Jing Xuan knelt down again, hugging her legs, his breath choking.
“Mother…you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for many years.”
Jiang Shining threw all the questions in her mind away and bent down to help Jing Xuan.
“Jing Xuan, this is the modern world, stop kneeling. Let me see you.”
Jing Xuan slowly stood up with the aid of the woman’s strength.
When Jiang Shining died in the world of palace fighting, Jing Xuan was only seventeen years old. Although considered old by ancient people, he was still a child in Jiang Shining’s eyes. Jing Yuan was seven years older than him. When Jiang Shining and Jing Yuan were busy fighting the emperor, they more or less protected Jing Xuan, allowing him to retain a youthful spirit that was rare among the princes.
Now, Jing Xuan looked much more mature, at least around 25 or 26. His features were the same as Jiang Shining remembered, but he had grown older and more mature, with more distinct facial features. However, he looked overly excited now, his nose and eyes were slightly red, and he looked aggrieved, still like a child.
Jiang Shining’s hand involuntarily reached out to wipe away the tears that were about to fall from Jing Xuan’s eyes. Jing Xuan was actually a head taller than her, but he timidly and hesitantly reached out to hug her, as if Jiang Shining was something fragile, and then buried his head in her shoulder.
Jiang Shining sighed softly. She knew Jing Xuan was crying, but boys, especially princes, should be stronger. When Jing Xuan lost his composure like this, she should give him support, so she reached out and put her arm around Jing Xuan’s shoulders.
Jiang Shining’s eyes were a little sore. She had completed her mission perfectly, but she wasn’t a perfect mother. After completing her five lifetimes, her greatest wish was to make up for her regrets. Now that her wish was gradually coming true, Jiang Shining wanted to cry. But Jing Xuan was crying, so she needed to remain strong.
She patted Jing Xuan’s shoulder gently. After an unknown amount of time, Jing Xuan raised his messy head with a slightly red nose. He then looked at Jiang Shining feeling a little embarrassed.
“Mother, I’m not usually like this. I’m actually very steady.”
“Sit down and drink some water.” Jiang Shining said helplessly.
The two of them sat on the sofa. Jiang Shining had just picked up the kettle, when Jing Xuan snatched it away, filled their cups with water, and drank it all in one breath. Then he put down the cup and looked at Jiang Shining a little embarrassedly.
“Sorry, mother, I’ve calmed down now. I just lost my composure…”
“It’s okay if you call me that in private but be careful outside and don’t scare others.” Jiang Shining smiled helplessly.
Because regardless of their past blood relationship and what happened, in this world, Jiang Shining looked younger than Jing Xuan.
Jing Xuan’s still slightly red eyes widened, and he said in disbelief, “How can that be possible? A mother is a mother. I can’t repay the kindness you gave me in my previous life. Now that I finally have a chance, how can I change it because of external factors? Wouldn’t that be unfilial of me?”
It seems that Jing Xuan and Xiu Lingfei both have this problem. When they are anxious, their tone of voice becomes like that of their previous life.
“Okay, okay…” Jiang Shining felt even more helpless. Surviving in the world of palace fighting was a struggle, and Jing Xuan and Jing Yuan had grown up to be too sensible. When she died, Jing Yuan was already twenty-three, but Jing Xuan was only seventeen. Now that they could finally meet in a peaceful world, she really couldn’t bear to contradict anything Jing Xuan said. Even though she knew Jing Xuan would obey if she acted forcefully.
