Fall in Love After the Flash Marriage novel Chapter 128

Jenny is stunned and stops chewing to see the message.

It has been nearly a week since she signed the prenup last time. After that they did not contact each other. As he does not contact her first, even if grandma calls her, she is too awkward to go to Flower House herself.

Are they going to step the first step to get reconciled.

She suddenly feels delighted.

At seven o’clock, Chen is downstairs and calls her. She goes downstairs with her bag.

Somehow, Chen looks a little surprised when he sees her casual sporty suit, and specially reminds her, “Mrs. Lu, would you like to change a more formal suit?”

Jenny takes a look at herself. She is wearing a gray casual pants, beige sweater and white down jacket. Although it’s casual, she’s just going to have a dinner in Flower House and it’s not her first time being there.

“No, it’s warm.”

Chen hesitates for a moment, and suddenly realizes that the she is pregnant. She should keep herself warm, so he doesn’t say anything more.

Halfway through the car, Jenny looks out of the window and suddenly feels strange.

“Are you making a detour?”

“No, this way is the nearest one. We are going to arrive after passing the intersection ahead.”

“Pass the intersection?”

Jenny looks at the distance in the dark outside the window, “are we going to the Flower House?”

“No,” Chen looks surprised, “didn’t Mr. Lu tell you? Today, his mom will come back and make a reservation at the hotel.”

Jenny is stunned.

Luke’s mother?

In the blink of an eye, they arrive at the door of the hotel. When getting off the car, Jenny realizes how unsuited she is wearing. However she is already here now, it would be even worse if she comes back home right now to change clothes as she would definitely get late.

The dining place is on the second floor.

The waiter leads Jenny through the long corridor to the separate room, and as soon as she opens the door, she hears a familiar voice inside the room.

She is stunned at the door.

Sky is also there.

In this large private room, Sky sits next to an elegant woman.

This woman is wearing a ginger woolen dress with a brown shawl on her shoulders. She looks radiant and is in her early 40s. If Jenny guesses right, she is Luke’s mother.

Seeing this, she can’t help but feel a little nervous.

A bold idea comes out of her mind.

She guesses the message was sent from Luke’s mother. Maybe, Luke even doesn’t know about it.

She and Luke do not go down the aisle yet, and now she is given a heart time by his mom.

Thinking of this, Jenny becomes unnatural. She is stunned at the door and doesn’t know what to say.

The woman finds that she looks stupefied, so she frowns slightly and does not speak anything.

Sky stands up, just like a hostess, “auntie, this is Jenny, haven’t you met before?”

“Yes, I have heard her before.” this woman smiles politely, but also coldly.

Jenny immediately recovers, and says quickly, “Auntie...I was in a hurry. I didn’t know you were there, so I didn’t prepare a gift. I’m sorry.”

“Oh? Luke didn’t tell you I’m coming?”

“He...he told me to have dinner at night, and nothing else...” Jenny hesitates, wondering if it is okay to say something like that.

“It’s not to blame you. Sit down first. Mom and Luke haven’t come yet. See what to eat. You can order first.”

Jenny smiles slightly in relief, glances at the position, and sits down on the opposite side of Sky.

Luke’s mother does not seem to be as serious as she imagines, so she is very easy to get along with.

There is a round table in the separate room, and the menu is on the turntable. Luke’s mother turns the menu to Jenny and smiles politely, “Sky and I have ordered some. Now see what you like.”

“Okay.”

Jenny flips through the menu and politely reads a few pages. There is nothing special except for a few meat dishes and a few vegetarian dishes that she has ordered. She recently needs to lose weight and can’t eat too much, so she just adds a vegetarian dish.

“I heard that Jenny used to study abroad. Maybe domestic dishes are not her taste. Should I ask the chef of the restaurant to cook some western food?”

Sky interrupts.

“Do you need it? Are there any Chinese who are not used to eating their own country’s food?” Tracy shows a trace of displeasure in her eyes and glances at Jenny, “Sky, you have also been abroad for many years, and you graduated from the famous Royal Conservatory of Music for five years. Are you used to Chinese food?”

Jenny’s heart trembles for a while, trying to explain, but Sky takes the lead.

“I’ve got used to it. Every time I return to China, I gain a few pounds of fat before leaving. I can’t eat such authentic Chinese food abroad.”

“Then don’t go away. It’s not easy for you to be abroad alone. Come back and live with us, so we can take care of you.”

“Aunt, I’m eagerly looking forward to it, but there may be one more person in the house in the future. It’s still not convenient for me to be here.”

Jenny keeps looking down at the menu in silence. Sky and Luke’s mom talk very happily, and she can’t put a word in conversation. She just feels uncomfortable and feels that Sky’words are aiming at her.

When it is said that, Luke’s mother seems to have finally realized her existence, and suddenly changes the topic to her.

“Jenny, right? I heard that you are a start of Jade Picture? You look quite young. I guess you do not work in this field for a long time, right?”

Jenny comes to herself.

She is 21 years old. She’s admitted to college early, and finished her master degree smoothly. Actually, she is a half newcomer and she made her debut at the age of 17. It’s been a long time.

She takes a deep breath, considers it, and says carefully,

“I filmed the movie when I was seventeen, and then I did not film again when studied abroad. I graduated in June last year, then I went back to China and signed the working contract, and it has been until now...”

“Seventeen, it’s so young, did your parents agree?” Tracy is a little surprised.

She sends someone to investigate Jenny before. The strange thing is that her background is complicated and nothing can be found. Even the column that says parents is empty. It seems that someone has tempered her file, which makes her very suspicious.

Jenny nods.

At that time, her mother accompanies her to auditions.

“Were your family lacking money at that time? And you have to be a breadwinner for them?”

Jenny looks stiff, and she thinks for a while, “What do you mean?”

“If it wasn’t for this reason, how could they let their daughter go out to work at a young age? You were supposed to go to school at 17, but not work.”

Tracy’s question is very straightforward, contemptuous and a bit unpleasant to hear.

Jenny grips the tablecloth under the table and becomes stiff.
