Chapter 165 Jiang Jintong Chapter 8
She picked up a round grass stick on the ground and put eyes and a nose on it. Then she poked it with her thumb nail, and a smiling round ball appeared in her palm again: "Why haven't I seen you before?"
"Are you from this village?"
"I'm from this village. My family lives there. I just don't come out usually."
Jiang Jintong pointed towards the villa and quickly spoke to dispel the girl's concerns.
"Oh, why don't you come out to play? Is it because your family won't let you come out to play?"
"Well, you could say that."
"Then you are so pitiful."
The little girl blinked her eyes, playing with the ball with an expression on it in her hand, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind: "I don't have anyone willing to play with me. Since your family doesn't allow you to go out to play, can I come in and play with you?"
"As a greeting gift, I'll give you this little six."
The ball was stuffed into Jiang Jintong's hands. He pursed his lips, unable to ignore the other person's shining gaze.
It was precisely because his expectations had been dashed countless times and he knew the sadness of unfulfilled expectations that he was even more unable to reject Xie Luo's expectant gaze at this moment.
In particular, he also wanted to play with Xie Luo and become good friends with her.
But this is not something he can decide alone.
"I'm sorry, I... I don't know if my family would be willing for you to come and play."
"It's okay, it doesn't matter whether you can go or not. I will come here to make clay figures tomorrow. If your family agrees to let me come to your house, then you can just wait for me here tomorrow."
"Don't take it too seriously if they disagree. Well, I think they should be worried about you too."
"Xie Luo! You little bastard! You took a few bites of food and you ran out again!"
"... ...Ah? My grandma is here. I won't say anything more. I have to go back first. Bye!"
Xie Luo quickly picked up a few important pieces of furniture from the ground and then slipped back to his grandma.
Even during this process, he took the time to wave to Jiang Jintong and wink at him.
Grandma slapped her on the head, cursing, "You're out again in the blink of an eye. You're full of energy all day long!"
"Hehe, oh, grandma, I just came out to see my little clay figurines, look how cute they are!"
Xie Luo handed over the little clay figurine as if he were presenting a treasure, and then laughed heartily.
Grandma grumbled, but she didn't scold any more: "You should put it away carefully, so that you don't break it and cry."
"Okay, the bed I made is big enough for five little clay figures to sleep on together."
"Five? When did you get five?"
"Hehe, I made it in the backyard yesterday. The first one is round with sharp corners..."
Xiao Jintong stood there blankly, those words were blown into his ears by the wind. It was clearly such a warm conversation, but it made him stand there even more helplessly.
He looked at the two of them with envy, pursed his lips, and his light brown eyes were filled with loss at this moment.
If possible, he also wants his parents to talk to him more, even if it's just a sentence or two.
"Master, it's time to eat. It's windy outside. You should come back."
The butler appeared at the right time. He sighed, took Xiao Jintong's hand and walked back.
"Uncle housekeeper, can I invite a friend to visit tomorrow?"
"I can't make the decision on this matter. You should talk to the lady and the gentleman, Master."
"... ...good."
Jiang Jintong called, and it was not until the third call that Mrs. Jiang had time to answer the phone: "Jintong! Didn't mom tell you not to call me during work hours? I'm not free!"
"But mom, now... it's half past twelve in the afternoon. I thought you were off work."
"Mom has been very busy lately. How can she get off work? If you have anything to say, just tell me quickly. Mom still has to work later."
"Mom, I want to invite a friend to play in the villa tomorrow, is that okay?"
Jiang Jintong asked the other party carefully, with hope in her words: "I promise to only play with her in the yard. There will be no danger. I really want a friend."
"That's enough, Jintong. You're just a child now. If someone really wants to harm you, you won't be able to tell."
"How can you have any friends? Those people are capable of any tricks. It's safest for you to stay with the housekeeper. Don't let your imagination run wild all day. Mom still likes you who are obedient, okay?"
Mrs. Jiang was exhausted. Her mind and eyes were full of work, and she didn't care at all about what her son really wanted.
For Mrs. Jiang, all she had to do was ensure Jiang Jintong's safety.
He could have any toys he wanted, no matter how expensive they were. As long as he wanted them, Mrs. Jiang would have someone deliver them to him.
If he wanted a playmate, the housekeeper would play with him, so why would he need a person of unknown identity as his friend?
"But, Mom..."
Jiang Jintong wanted to fight for it again, but was interrupted impatiently by the other party.
"Okay, Jintong, you have to be obedient. If you're bored, just play with the housekeeper, okay? Or do you have a toy you want? Mommy can have someone send it to you. You can have anything you want. Mommy is busy here, so I'll hang up now."
"... ...but mom, all I want most is a friend."
There was a "beep, beep, beep" sound from the other end of the phone, and his last words could not reach the other party's ears at all because the other party had hung up long ago.
The housekeeper stepped forward to comfort Jiang Jintong: "Master, what the lady said actually makes sense. She is just worried about your safety."
"You should be more obedient."
"understood."
Jiang Jintong nodded silently, but was unwilling to give up, so he called his father again.
But he called many times, but the other party never answered. Finally, he answered, but he only said a few words and hung up impatiently: "I'm busy, I'll talk to you later if you have anything else."
“… ….”
Jiang Jintong finally gave up any idea of making a phone call. He didn't eat much lunch and went back to his room under the pretext of taking a nap.
After leaving the housekeeper's sight, he finally lay on the bed, sobbing uncontrollably.
No one would care what he thought.
They just want him to be less bothersome and more obedient, but they are unwilling to spend time and energy to understand what he really wants.
In the Jiang family's magnificent castle, everything was cold. It was so cold that it scared Jiang Jintong and also so cold that it disgusted Jiang Jintong.
No matter how rich he is, it can never fill the emptiness in his heart. Jiang Jintong doesn't want expensive toys or a big house.
He wants his parents' company and wants to feel their love.
Even just a little bit of love would be fine.
