Normally, it will be the mother-in-law making things difficult for the daughter-in-law.
Jenny’s heart sinks, she feels like it’s a scene from the soap dramas.
“Then I’ll go back first, auntie, so that you can have a good chat with Jenny.”
Sky’s words shake her back to her senses as she sees the image of someone sashaying away from the restroom.
There are only two of them in the restroom.
Her hand grasps tightly a paper napkin which is crumbled into a ball.
It is obvious that Tracy is up to no good.
“To tell you the truth, I don’t regard you favorably.”
The first sentence already clearly stated her true feelings.
Jenny lifts her head and looks at her and then quickly looks down, maintaining her silence because she absolutely doesn’t know what to say at that moment.
If she asks why she would be ridiculously naïve. There are so many areas that she needs to improve. Anything said will be adding fuel to the fire and it is better to maintain silence.
At times, silence is the best way to resolve problems.
“I admit that when Luke was preparing to marry you, I was rather curious as to who can interest Luke and that’s when I investigated you. But I didn’t use too many resources because I wanted to know you in person first.”
“…”
“I originally thought that even if an artist in the entertainment industry isn’t highly cultured nor highly educated, at least she would know basic courtesy and etiquette. But look at how you are dressed tonight, it’s totally inappropriate.”
“…”
“Furthermore, you look like you are from a small family and isn’t used to any large and important events. The womenfolk of the Lu family will need to speak appropriately in large events.”
“…”
“You should know that originally the families of Lu and Song were linked by marriage. If nothing untoward happens, Luke is supposed to marry Sky. You are the ‘untoward’.”
Jenny bites her lips in silence, she releases the ball of napkin in her hand and it falls onto the floor.
Tracy frowns and asks, “Why don’t you respond?”
“Since you have these opinions on me, nothing I say will change anything, isn’t it?”
Jenny’s indifferent attitude didn’t enable Tracy to erupt in anger.
Tracy sighs and said sternly, “It is normal that you are angry that I say these. Since you are pregnant with Luke’s baby, the Lu family isn’t irresponsible. You will get what you deserve. What I just said you must make it up. Regardless of whether it is socializing or culture, you must endeavor to learn and catch up.”
“You are willing to accept me because of this child?” Jenny asked carefully.
“Otherwise?” Tracy glares at her, “Luke isn’t young anymore and doesn’t want to get married. His father doesn’t want me to interfere with his matters but his marriage is a big deal. I cannot stand idly by. Since he personally chose you, then even if I’m reluctant I can’t do anything about it.”
“What you said, I’ll try my best …”
Jenny doesn’t think that Juke’s mother is a bad person. It’s just that she has high standards and doesn’t know her well. As far as education is concerned, she is a masters postgraduate in a well-known university and in the finance sector. Her education level isn’t worst off than Sky’s musical college. Looks like her investigation didn’t turn out so well.
“Additionally, quit your job after marriage and take good care of the child.”
“That’s not possible…” Jenny immediately objects when she hears the words quit your job.
Tracy raises her eyebrow and her expression changes. She raises her voice, “Why not? Can’t the Lu family provide for you? Do we need you to shame yourself to others on the television?”
