The Lee family’s house, situated in the south of the city, was an ancient Chinese mansion built with blocks and tires, covered with green vines, displaying a plain and dignified style and a historical touch.
Judging from its location and its history, it was indeed priceless.
Seeing the exquisitely-decorated expensive carpet, Rose didn’t dare to step on it.
During her hesitation, Bright grabbed her hand which was holding the bag and walked inside the living room.
The clean and polished carpet under the feet was very comfortable, the interior decoration of the house was not as nouveau riche as she thought before, but was both refined in details and elegant in style, those flower pots displayed everywhere seemed refreshing in its way.
The furniture inside was decorated with Chinese carved patterns, the flowers and birds engraved on it were so vivid and lively. Lots of expensive Chinese paintings and calligraphy could be seen everywhere, showcasing a significant implication and style.
She had heard that the Lee family was a family of the Confucian culture a hundred years ago, all the family members were highly educated and more cultivated than the nouveau riche nowadays.
It was quite a shock to witness.
How come such refined and cultured temperament was absent on Bright Lee that she could only notice the hooligan temperament on him?
“Please have a seat.” Bright invited her.
Rose smiled but she didn’t dare to sit on such antique, what if she accidentally broke it, she could not pay for the damage even if she sold herself.
“Aren’t you fearless? Look how my house has scared you?” Bright saw that Rose was standing upright and her body even looked a little stiff.
“I’m not afraid, it’s just I’m nervous seeing your parents the first time.” Rose tried her best to relax and lowered her voice, “And I’m also the fake daughter-in-law.”
“What is fake and what is real?” Bright raised his thick eyebrow and a faint smile appeared on his face, “The one standing here is real.”
Rose stared at him, “It’s easy for you to say.”
A server brought two cups of tea to them, “Mr. Lee, Mrs. Lee, please have a cup of tea.”
“Thanks.” Rose said.
What Mrs. Bright, it was bullshit.
She was like Cinderella in the fairytale, at twelve o’clock this beautiful princess would become Cinderella again.
“Here you come.” A gentle and loving sound was heard.
Then a graceful and elegant woman with a classical face and refined and beautiful eyes appeared.
She had set her hair up and was wearing a dark green Chinese dress, cheongsam, which showcased her good figure and her posture, delicate and sophisticated as a woman from the south of China.
She walked over with a smile on her face, “Bright, your father was writing and he will come down soon.”
“Hmm.” Bright replied perfunctorily without lifting his eyes.
The woman looked very young, around her 40s, and she certainly didn’t look like his mother but Rose didn’t know whether she was his sister or some family friend.
Rose didn’t know how to address her so she looked towards Bright, hoping he could give her some hints.
“Hello, I’m Hallie Hill, wife of Bright’s father.” Hallie noticed Rose’s uncertainty and introduced herself first, “Please have a seat, make yourself at home.”
So she was Bright’s stepmother, how beautiful, elegant, nice and gentle she was, nothing like those arrogant wives in the rich family.
