Fall in Love After the Flash Marriage novel Chapter 171

Yuky and Luke looked quite alike, especially their identical cold temperament. Jenny couldn’t help to think whether people in the Lu Family were all so indifferent and difficult to get along with.

Sometimes when Yuky said something, trying to be polite, one could only feel a strong sense of detachment and scrutiny.

Yuky took a long look on Jenny directly, as if she wanted to see her through. It really made Jenny uncomfortable. Tracy pushed Yuky’s elbow, trying to break the embarrassment, and said, “We should have met in a more formal occasion. What a coincidence today!”

Jenny smiled awkwardly, not sure what to say. They sat at a corner in the banquet hall. After some little talk, they talked about the wedding unavoidably.

“I learn that there are few people in your family. Aren’t you inviting some relatives to the wedding?” Yuky asked, as if she was trying to gossip about something.

Jenny was nervous, thinking of what happened in Chateau Jin three years ago. She was worried that Yuky knew her identity.

“I lost contact with those relatives. They won’t come,” Jenny said.

“Why?” Yuky asked.

Jenny looked up at Yuky.

Yuky smiled and said, “Tracy told me you had some maternal relatives. Why don’t you get in touch with them? It should be difficult for you as a young lady alone in the showbiz.” What a good question. If Jenny insisted on being isolated from her relatives, what happened three years ago would inevitably be put on the table. Yuky seemed to indicate that if not for someone’s support, Jenny would not have been doing well in the showbiz.

“I have been studying abroad these years with few contacts with them. And my nanny is too old to travel here for the wedding.”

“Oh, you have been studying abroad. Luke didn’t mention about it,” Tracy said, changing the topic of their conversation. Maybe she thought Yuky was so straight that it made Jenny awkward or she was really interested in Jenny’s diploma.

“Because my job has nothing to do with it, I seldom mention it.” Jenny answered carefully. She understood that her diploma was nothing for the Lu Family. Frankie had helped to investigate the diploma of the three generations in Lu Family before. Even the lamest one graduated from the top national academic institute. Jenny got her graduate diploma by pulling wires, which was really not worth talking.

As they were talking, they suddenly heard chaos in the center of the banquet hall, which alerted the security guards. Tracy frowned, looking towards the crowd and asked, “What happened? What a mess!”

“I will go and check it,” Jenny said, lifting her dress and was about to leave when Tracy glanced at her and said scornfully, “What are you doing? You are pregnant. Stay here. It’s none of your business. People will take care of their own business. Don’t be so curious.”

Yuky glanced at Jenny indifferently and said, “Let me go and have a look.”

She came back in two minutes with a serious yet scornful look and said calmly, “Nothing serious. Someone not invited broke in. He must have offended Mrs. Hopkins, and acts like a dog with a bone, so she ordered the securities to beat him badly.”

Tracy looked serious and asked, “They just beat him in the public?”

“Yeah! Unlike Beijing, people here in Xicheng are quite tough, paying no attention to laws. Money talks. Even if he was beaten to death today, he would have been buried somewhere with nothing,” Yuky said and explained when peeking at Jenny, “I’m not talking about you. I mean those old families in Xicheng.”

Jenny stayed calm, not paying much attention to Yuky’s sarcasm.

“Well, it’s not safe here. Let’s go now. Yuky, tell the Hopkins Family that we are leaving. Jenny, leave with us in case someone run into you and hurt my grandson.” Tracy said, holding Jenny’s arm.

Jenny hesitated for a second and nodded, saying nothing.

Allen disappeared in just a second. It’d better that he had figured it out and left.

When Yuky went to say goodbye to the Hopkins, Jenny and Tracy walked out of the hall. It was not far from them where two securities pulled a struggling man from the crowd. Jenny was stunt when she glanced at this. She let go of Tracy without a second thought and ran towards the crowd.

“Uncle...” she nearly cried out but she managed to lower her voice and asked in a hoarse voice, “What happened? Why did you beat him badly?”

“Excuse me, Miss! This guy broke in to cause trouble. We didn’t want to beat him either. We have shown our mercy.”

Allen was beaten so bad that he fainted and he was in the securities’ disposal with blood on the floor.

“No. You can’t...”

“Jenny, what are you doing?” Tracy said with surprise.

Jenny suddenly realized what she was doing. She stood there stiff.

“Do you know him?”

“No, I don’t know him,” Jenny stumbled to spit out the sentence, a trace of pain flashing in her eyes.

“Why do you care for someone you don’t know?” Tracy held Jenny’s arm and walked out. Suddenly, she turned around and said, “Just take him out. Don’t make him die for your own good.”

People here might not know Tracy but most of them knew Yuky. The securities followed her words as they knew she was with Yuky, thus she must be someone. They didn’t dare to offend her.

After saying goodbye to the Hopkins Family, Yuky came out and get into her car. She asked, frowning when she found there was only Tracy at the back seats, “Where’s Jenny?”

“She left something in the hall and went back to find it. She said we don’t need to wait for her.” Tracy didn’t suspect her words and said, rubbing her temple, “I have told Luke to ask her to leave the showbiz. How can she take good care of the family and the kids when she has to fly around with a messed up schedule? Luke just told me to leave it to themselves. I used to worry about his marriage, but now he is so obsessed with such a woman.”

Hearing Tracy’s complaint, Yuki seemed to think of something and looked out of the window. She looked up and said, “Mr. Chen, you drive first with Tracy and wait for me at the next crossing. I need to take care of something and will be right back.”

“Where are you going?”

Yuki got out of the car and disappeared into the hotel in the dark. Trace was troubled because she had no idea what Yuki was doing.
