Chapter 389 (1/2)

Old Madame Jing says those words and then starts to talk again with Mother Lu. Everyone is enjoying the chat and no one is minding about Jing Fen Fen’s protest. She is furious but still acts like a gentle lady.

Jing Suo Suo is happy. She takes initiative to talk to Lu You Yuan and acts like he is really her Jie Fu (brother-in-law).

Lu You Yuan doesn’t speak with assurance but he doesn’t make Jing Suo Suo feels awkward. He doesn’t speak a lot but his voice is deep. Somehow it makes Jing Fen Fen feels agitated and she glares at Jing Suo Suo. Jing Suo Suo is smiling happily toward her.

During the dinner, Old Madame Jing purposely arranges Jing Fen Fen to sit down beside Lu You Yuan. Jing Fen Fen begs everyone to change seat with her, but no one is willing. At last she asks toward Ye Qing Xin.

“Xin Xin, let’s change seat…..” She speaks on Ye Qing Xin’s ear. She is begging her.

Ye Qing Xin smiles: “I want to sit down together with Bo Yuan. I’m sorry Fen Fen Jie.”

“Sao Zi, I beg you. Just once okay?” Ye Qing Xin is younger than Jing Fen Fen. Jing Fen Fen always calls her name, this time she calls her Sao Zi.

She really doesn’t want to sit down beside Lu You Yuan. Both families seem to have same intention now. It’s too late to protest now.

“I’m sorry Fen Fen JIe.” Ye Qing Xin rejects politely. It’s clear that Old Madame Jing is planning all of these for Jing Fen Fen, how can she sabotage it.

“….” Jing Fen Fen feels betrayed by her family.

On the dining table, Old Madame Jing asks Jing Fen Fen to take food for Jing Fen Fen. Mother Lu asks Lu You Yuan to pick up veggies for Jing Fen Fen. JIng Fen Fen looks around the table and takes a green chili pepper for Lu You Yuan.

She remembers that year this kid is afraid to eat chili pepper.

Jing Fen Fen smiles happily: “Our family chef is an expert of making this. Try it out. It’s really good.”

Lu You Yuan: “…….”

“You kid, though our family chef is an expert with this. How can you let a person just eat chili pepper.” Old Madame Jing knows that her granddaughter is purposely tease Lu You Yuan. She looks at a maid. A maid hurriedly takes a clean plate and wants to change Lu You Yuan’s plate.

Mother Lu’s turn awkward. She knows of her son’s appetite. Whether Jing Fen Fen does it with purpose or not, she somehow dislikes this.

“Because of You Yuan’s health, he cannot eat too spicy….”

The atmosphere turns stiff and rigid. Jing Fen Fen smiles innocently: “You Yuan cannot eat spicy food. My most favorite food always tastes spicy. We cannot enjoy food together. I think we are not suitable to go together. Just cancel the plan tomorrow. Just in time our department has an important meeting.”

“Everyone does have different taste. You cannot force anyone to compel to your taste. You can order food based on your taste. How can you just conclude that you guys are incompatible.” Old Madame Jing glares at Jing Fen Fen.

“It’s okay.” Lu You Yuan speaks up, he stops the maid to change his plan. “Though in the past I didn’t eat spicy, but in the future I can gradually adapt.”

Then he eats the first green chili pepper then the second one.

Jing Fen Fen is stupefied. He looks like he doesn’t eat it with difficulty. Could it be she remembers it wrongly? Or perhaps he has changed his liking?

It can’t be, she clearly sees Mother Lu’s sad expression.

Could it be he is just acting?

Jing Fen Fen glances at him. This man, is he crazy? How can he force himself to eat it?

“You Yuan, it’s fine.” Mother Lu’s face looks so worried.

Lu You Yuan finishes all the green chili pepper. If no one sees it his lips, anyone might thinks that he is eating Chinese cabbage.

Lu You Yuan puts down his chopsticks and drinks a gulp of red wine. He smiles at everyone and says calmly: “Everyone, let’s eat. It’s getting cold.”

Mother Lu looks at Jing Fen Fen and says nothing. She just lowers her head and eats. She acts coldly now.

Old Madame Jing notices something from Lu You Yuan that makes her happy.

Jing Fen Fen, on the other hand, feels guilty and doesn’t purposely make things hard for Lu You Yuan. She lowers her head and acts like an invisible man. The dining room turns silent. But after a while, Jing Fen Fen notices a slice of oyster omelette is put on her bowl. She raises up her head and looks at Lu You Yuan. Jing Fen Fen is confused.

“I remember that you like to eat this. But it’s been a long time. I don’t know if you have same taste as before.”

Lu You Yuan acts like he is an old friend of Jing Fen Fen.

Jing Fen Fen wants to speak up that she doesn’t like that food anymore but Old Madame Jing is faster than her: “She still likes the same one, still the same. There’s no difference right, Fen Fen?”

JIng Fen Fen: “…….”

Jing Suo Suo watches this. She notices that Lu You Yuan is not bad. He has a good family and ability. He seems to be interested to Jing Fen Fen. Moreover, they were growing up together. There’s a high chance he will be her Jie Fu (Brother-in-law).

Everyone on the table seems to notice Lu You Yuan’s intention toward Jin Fen Fen.

Ye Qing Xin moves closer to Jing Bo Yuan and whispers on his ear. “It seems that Jing family’s daughter will get marry soon. Congrats.”

Jing Bo Yuan says nothing. He just takes a rolled up pastry for Ye Qing Xin.

After the dinner, all the men are going to small living room. While the women are gathering in the living room.

Mother Lu seems to not act as friendly as before. Especially when they are talking about Jing Fen Fen as she notices that this eldest sister of Jing family doesn’t respect her son. Her son is not a bad quality of man. He is quite excellent.

Jign Fen Fen seems to be happy that Mother Lu seems to dislike her.

At 08:30 p.m. Lu family members leave JIng family house.

Jing family members go out to send them. The time they are gone, Old Madame Jing pinches Jing Fen Fen’s arm. “You are impolite, what were you doing before? You purposely tried to nitpick?”

Jing Fen Fen tries to avoid the Old Madame Jing’s attacks. She is in happy mood: “Mother Lu is unhappy toward me. I think tomorrow the plan to go to lavender manor should be cancelled right? I’m tired. I’ll go back first to my room. Goodnight, everyone.”

Then she runs away back to her room.

“Look at her!” Old Madame Jing glares at Jing Yan. “How can you don’t mind her!”

Jing Yan is calm. “Fen Fen is thirty years old. She has her own thought. If she is unwilling, there’s no way we can force her.”

“You…..” Old Madame Jing is unhappy. “You are too lenient toward her.” Oldl Madame Jing gets inside the house furiously. Jing Yi follows her and tries to calm her down.

Ye Qing Xin holds Jing Bo Yuan, they are strolling in the garden.

“I retrieve my words, It seems hard to marry her out.”

Jing Bo Yuan intertwined his five fingers with Ye Qing Xin’s. “You know it clearly.”

Ye Qing Xin smiles.

They both get back inside the house. Just in time they hear Old Madame Jing’s words. “It’s late Xiao E, you should just here. I still leave your previous room for you. You guys can return to each of your own room and have a rest.”

The triplet were sleeping before during the dinner. Now they are awake. The nannies are letting them play in the living room. No one knows when they will be tired again.
