Chapter 388
Prestigious Family Marriage: Uncle vs Young Wife
August is the hottest season. Even the sun has set but the air is still hot. During the hot weather, thereâs a lot of mosquitos. He Shu E just stands there for a while and notices that mosquitos are biting her skin.
Jing Zong is wearing a t-shirt and shorts. How can he endure it.
She notices the cigarette butts near the location where he stood before. One, two, three,....... seven cigarette butts.
âThereâs a lot of mosquitos, why are you standing outside? You arenât afraid of mosquitosâ bite?â
âI am missing you so I donât feel anything else.â
â......â
These words sound fake but Jing Zong says it with his calm and serious demeanor.
He Shu E watches his face in attempt to know whether he is joking or not.
Pak......
A light slap pulls her back from her thought. She feels a light pain on her leg. Jing Zong slaps the mosquito on her leg for her.
âLetâs get in.â Jing Zong takes He Shu Eâs bag and holds her to get inside the house.
Jing Zong helps her too to take off her high heels and puts it on the shoe-shelf.
âThank you.â
Nian Nian pees on his pant, Ye Qing Xin is carrying him with one of her hand. She is going to take him upstair to change her diaper. She notices Jing Zong and He Shu E, she also notices that they are holding hands. She smiles and greets them. âPa, Ma.â
He Shu E is embarrassed to see Ye Qing Xin. She lets go of Jing Zongâs hand. Then she comes forward to see Nian Nian. âWhat happened, why are you carrying him like this?â
âHe pees on his pant, I am going to change his pants.â
âIâll go with you.â
âNo need.â Ye Qing Xin refuses. âYou and Pa can sit down there. Lu Shu Shu and his family are here too. I can do this by myself.â
In the living room area, Jing family members are accompanying Lu family members to chat. Except the silent Jing Fen Fen, everyone is laughing and chatting happily.
Lu family is a family with literary reputation. Lu You Yanâs parents are educated people. They have two sons and one daughter. Except their daughter, who is marrying and staying abroad. Their eldest son with his family are here too.
This dinner gathering is the dinner that Old Madame Jing holds for Jing Fen Fen and Lu You Yan. Lu You Yan is an impressive looking man, he is so handsome and tall. He has a darker skin but it doesnât damage his handsome appearance.
He is arranged to sit down beside JIng Fen Fen. He is smiling and his eyes are bright.
He Shu E has an impression toward Lu family though she is not familiar with them. She greets them and sits down on the single-seat sofa. Jing Zong sits down on the armrest of the sofa.
Jing Si is in Jing City too so she is called by Old Madame Jing to have dinner at home. She takes Ye Lin with her too. Ye Lin and Ye Qing Guo are playing game.
Mother Lu looks at Ye Qing Guo, Ye Qing Xin just comes down again with Nian Nian in her hold. She notices Mother Lu is looking at Ye Qing Guo, she smiles: âLu Shen Shen (Auntie Lu), do you think my Di Di seems familiar?â
Mother Lu is embarrassed: âYes a bit, it seems Iâve seen him on TV.â
Jing Suo Suo says: âNow Xiao Guo is the famous one in entertainment industry. Itâs no wonder you have seen him. Last year he was on >, I dare to say that everyone, who are from eighteen to eighty years old, has watched his movie. No one doesnât him.â
âIsnât it too much?â Ye Qing Xin smiles. âHe just acted on a movie. Lu Shen Shen, have you watched the movie?â
> has been translated into several languages, itâs a popular movie.
Mother Lu is astonished. âIve watched it. I have thought that he is like Shen Shen, but I donât think itâs real.|
Mother Luâs eldest daughter-in-law speaks up: âMa is Ye Qing Guoâs loyal fans.â
âI am not really his fans. Itâs just I think life is so hard for him. Itâs too painful.â Mother Lu looks at Ye Qing Guo.
Ye Qing Xi sits down beside Jing Bo Yuan and just smiles. She says nothing.
The eldest grandson of Lu family just turns five years old. Nian Nian and Zhao Zhao are playing with him. They arenât afraid of stranger. Mu Mu is sitting alone and playing with building blocks.
The atmosphere is bustling with noise and excitement because of the kids.
They talk for a while then Old Madame Jing shifts the topic of conversation toward Lu You Yuan. âI remember that You Yan is two years older than our Fen Fen. Now he should have a girlfriend or perhaps he is engaged?â
Until now Lu You Yuan is single, Old Madame Jing has probed it out before. She asks this question to make her intention doesnât seem sudden.
âNo, this kid never been in relationship. He is making me worry that I cannot sleep peacefully at night. I think he hasnât met someone that he likes in Swiss. I keep on thinking of waiting till he is back to find someone for him. Two months ago he was assigned by Switzerland embassy to work back at Ministry of Foreign Affairs here. So all of us return home.
Mother Lu looks at Jing Fen Fen, Jing Xian Xian and Jing Suo Suo. âThese three should have boyfriends righ?â
This seems to somehow fit to what Old Madame Jing wants.
âXian Xian just got engaged last year. She will have her wedding on the National Day. Fen Fen and Suo Suo havenât had a boyfriend. But Suo Suo is still young, Iâm not worried about her. Hehe.......â
Mother Lu looks at Jing Fen Fen. Jing Fen Fen doesnât do her makeup today. She just wears a short-sleeve shirt and light yellow chiffon skirt. Her hair is long and straight. She is beautiful and elegant.
âThis year Fen Fen is thirty years old. She is suitable for our You Yuan.â Mother Luâs words make both Old Madame Jing and Ji Yi relieve.
Old Madame Jing smiles: âOur Fen Fen also has never been in relationship. She always worked hard at school. After graduated from the university, she keeps on focusing on her work. I always scold her that a woman, who has reached a suitable age, should settle down. You cannot have a good career but be lonely till old. But she doesnât listen to me and keep on hold it.....â
Old Madame Jing said those words, she clearly complains about Jing Fen Fenâs action but she also intends to tell Lu family that Jing Fen Fen is pure.
Indeed, Mother Lu smiles brightly: âShe is suitable for our You Yuan. Our You Yuan also has never been in relationship. Their age gap is quite close. Itâs suitable..â
Jing Fen Fen just smiles, but actually she really wants to run away.
What did her grandma say?
She looks Lu You Yuanâs hands on his thigh. His hands are long and well-shaped.
She doesnât expect that a boy that used to cry a lot, now has finally grown up.
JIng Fen Fen has regained herself and she notices that the elders are talking about the triplet of Jing Bo Yuan and Ye Qing Xin.
Old Madame Jing brags about her Chong Sun Zi (great grandsons), then boasts about her grandson. Then once again she shifts the topic to Jing Fen Fen and Lu You Yuan. âI remember that Xin Xin has a lavender manor. It claims to be the East of Provence. I never go there, but I had gone to Provence. Itâs beautiful. I think the East of the Provence will also a good place. Tomorrow Fen Fen will take You Yuan to visit there. Itâs been years since You Yuan is here.â
âNai Nai, I have no time tomorrow, our department....â Jing Fen Fen says iwth a smile: âRecently Suo Suo is reading books to prepare for the entrance exam of government official. She is free everyday, if not....â
âThen sorry to trouble you.â Lu You Yuan suddenly speaks up to cut her off.
Jing Fen Fen is startled and just gets his intention after a moment. She is unhappy. âYou should tell this to Suo Suo, Tomorrow I. ...â
âItâs been decided.â Old Madame Jing acts firmly. âFen Fen ah, take You Yuan to play around. Iâll tell your Pa about your matter. Donât worry.â
Jing Fen Fen: â........â
