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.”
