Old Lady Lo snorted, “We will wait and see. Jamie will be a step faster than Steven."
The two people were quarreling, Jane looked gobsmacked. What was the matter here?
Originally in her mind, the old lady of the rich and powerful family should be dignified and generous, but Old Lady Lo has overturned her imagination.
However, old lady Fong now overturned her imagination, the good friends were quarreling.
Steven seemed to get used to it.
He said, “Two grandmas, the opera will begin soon. If you don't watch it, you'll miss the show."
Old Lady Lo and Old Lady Fong were immediately quiet down after hearing that.
In a moment they were as good as usual, and sat arm in arm together.
In front of them there was a small short, with melon and fruit snacks on it.
The opera began.
Jane watched opera with her grandmother when she was little.
These traditional folk dramas have largely fallen out of favor among young people and may even be lost.
But in this attic in Feng City, it's all old. The tradition had been inherited.
In the opera, the old story went a poor scholar on his way to the capital was wooed by a rich lady, with whom he was secretly bound for life.
Rich young lady subsidized the scholar to go to the capital city to take an examination with all her money.
When they said goodbye, the scholar promised, once he got succeed, he will come back to marry young lady, but he never thought that rich young lady was pregnant.
A few months passed.
A baby was born.
The good news came, but it had nothing to do with the rich young lady, because that poor scholar top first and married the princess.
Rich young lady jumped into the river holding the baby that night.
Old Lady Lo and Old Lady Fong were moved, wiping tears.
Jane handed the two old ladies tissue.
Old Lady Lo said, "Jane, will be too boring to you?"
Jane cleverly shook her head and said, “No. I just couldn't get into it because I didn't have the same values as the people in the opera.
Their generation dared to love and hate. Love was just a part of life so they would not die for love or for a man.
Just like before, Jane was defected by Samuel and Yolande, she chose to break up with him.
Old Lady Lo smiled and said, "That's true. You are not living in the same age as them. Now women have a lot of right to choose, they don't have to be limited to a little boutiques they used to be. In the old days, naturally they take men as their lords."
Old Lady Fong smiled and said to Jane, "Jane, Steven is definitely not such kind of people. Once he is tempted, it will last a lifetime. So, marrying Steven is the best choice."
Old Lady Lo's face darkened. She had not given up but tried to rob Jane in front of her.
"Who knows what will happen in the real world? Besides, Steven is so cold that the girl got frostbitten before she got near. A girl will be tired if she lives together with Steven for a long time.”
Steven was so helpless. What did he do and what did he say? He was hurt anyway.
Jane could not help laughing.
After watching the opera, they went to the tea restaurant for tea.
On the way, they met to Old Lady Meng.
