Fall in Love After the Flash Marriage novel Chapter 76

Someone feels cold with the wind blowing in the Flower House.

Jenny feels her heart suddenly sink down.

Luke really has an engagement with Sky.

Mrs. Lu seems to know what Jenny is thinking about, so she smiles, “Don’t think too much. The engagement is set by Luke’s grandpa. And Luke’s father’s marriage was also set by him, but what a terrible marriage they have. So before he died, he agreed that the engagement could be annulled.”

Jenny pauses for a moment, and then hesitates, “Officially invalid? Will they agree?”

“I communicate with the Song family at the beginning. And they are very open-minded. We both agree that.”

Jenny is a little relieved after hearing Mrs. Lu’s words. Since Mrs. Lu has communicated with the Sky family, now the engagement is annulled.

But she wonders why Michael talks to herself so much since the engagement is invalid. Sky should have told him about all things. Does Sky not want to give up the engagement?

It seems that Sky asks Michael to talk with me.

“Please don’t worry. Now that I want you to marry Luke, then I will arrange all things right for you. What you need to do is to be a beautiful bride. I have picked up several wedding dresses for you. You can try them on when Luke comes back.”

When talking about the wedding dress, Jenny suddenly feels excited. Then she nods and goes inside the house with Mrs. Lu to take a rest.

Now the Flower House is like her home, and she feels very comfortable and warm here.

At night, for the first time during these days, she stays in the room alone.

After she emerges from the shower, she habitually asks, "Luke, where's the hair dryer?"

There is no reply for a long time.

She turns doubtfully to look at the sofa, where there is only her down jacket, and the corner of the hair dryer poking out from under it.

Jenny knows that Luke's bedroom is very big, but today, she suddenly feels that it is especially big. She seems to hear her own echo when she says a word and no one answers.

She hears the ticking of water where she stands there.

It is dripping from the ends of her hair. She doesn't know how long she has been standing. And there has been a large water stain on the wooden floor.

She looks down and feels relieved.

Looking at the water stains on the floor and laughing at her imagination, she wipes her hair with a towel, then takes the hair dryer from the sofa and goes into the bathroom to blow her hair.

She sees her pretty face in the round glass mirror, and her figure is fine, but her shoulders look rounder than before, because the food in Flower House is so good that she has not controlled her eating for a long time.

She is so young and beautiful so that she should have had the most beautiful encounter about love, but she doesn't know why she dislikes herself now.

Luke agrees to her condition easily, but he doesn't know what she wants. What she wants to do is to find out The Lu family. But it is his betrayal. If he knows that, he will not agree to help her.

As she comes out, she hears a tinkle in her notebook and sees an e-mail.

It's from Frankie again.

When she meets him at the company, he says his email is intercepted and Jenny removes him from the blacklist.

She sits on the bed with her laptop, fingers running slowly over the touch screen and clicking through the mail window. It is a document with detailed information about Lu family, and even its influence in Beijing.

Frankie has such good ability to find out. And his family is a famous businessman and has business contacts with Beijing’s people. What’s more, Luke has a good relationship with the Bureau of Industry and Commerce, so it is not difficult to find all this.

The contents of the documents contain many obscure family secrets, some of which are unreadable and marked in yellow for reference, while some of the major events are recorded in red...

Jenny stares at the first line.

Mrs. Lu has two sons and a daughter. The elder son is Luke’s father Alex, and the second son is Bill, who died in a flight accident three years ago, and his ex-wife lives abroad with his daughter. As for Luke’s aunt, she went abroad for college fifteen years ago, and has been doing research abroad ever since. She is so busy with her work that she seldom comes back.

Jenny feels surprised at Bill’s death.

It is unsurprising that the plane crashed, eventually, on the Atlantic coast, and that the salvage team only found the wreckage of the cabin, and found no bodies or bones.

There is only a question mark beside the red one, and there is no other explanation.

Jenny hesitates for a moment and decides to skip the question.

She isn't looking for a households. And Bill does not seem to have anything to do with her.

Then she looks at the details below.

Alex’s marriage is set by Mr. Lu and his comrades. Alex does not love his wife very much. It seems that Alex is not interested in women.

On Beijing national congress, Yuky, Luke’s cousin, said that Jin’s Wine has problem in its wine quality. And she has a very good relationship with Tracy. Although they are different in age, they are like sisters. So, she is invited to all parties held by the Lu family.

All Jenny has to do is to make Luke to take her to parties like that and get to know Yuky.

She needs to know what had happened, and that why Yuky has mentioned Jin’s Wine at the Beijing conference, and who has told her about it.

This is the most important information in Frankie’s email. The rest are about Lu’s Family, which is not very useful to her.

After turning off her notebook, she sits on the bed for a long time, but unable to sleep.
