Alex’s words weighed in Beijing. Whatever he said could have Xicheng overthrown. So Jenny did not dare take his words lightly.
Diana told Jenny to put away what Alex gave her, then she got to know the kids one by one.
Diana was the most eldest, then it was Alex and his sister, who did not come back. Except Louise -- the biggest sister in the youngest generation, everyone was at almost the same age with Jenny. They all liked to joke, so this meal was not ill at ease.
The only thing that was embarrassing was that Sky Song chose some food gave it to Luke with her chopsticks.
Even though Diana coughed several times to imply that it was not proper, Sky Song still did not change herself.
Cathy winked at Jenny, “Jenny, Luke likes that bamboo sprout, you can pick some for him.”
Originally, Jenny did not intend to participate in it, but Cathy said so, and she was indeed near the bamboo sprout, so she could only pick some of it and sent it to Luke’s bowl.
Luke nodded his head lightly, then he ate some vegetables given by Sky Song. He did not even look at the bamboo sprout.
Cathy became unhappy right away. Were it not for Louise, she would have made a scene again.
All of it was captured by Alex.
He looked at Sky Song and said, “When did you come home?”
“I have been at home for a long time. I stay at Xicheng all the time, so you do not know that I am back.”
“You are doing great abroad, what makes you want to come back home?”
“I still prefer the life at home. I like Chinese food and people here. After all, I was born and raised here.”
“If you have any difficulty in your daily life, just tell me. I will help you. Your father and I are good comrades in the arm.” Alex felt a little sad when he mentioned his comrade.
Sky Song’s face became heavy and she squeezed a smile, “I don’t have any difficulty. But something is always out of people’s control. It will be great if you can really help me.”
The implications in the words were understood by more than half of the people around the table.
Alex took a glance at Luke, but he said these words as if he was not speaking to Luke, “It is easy to get something that is material form, but as for something that is not material, you can only get it through your own hard efforts. Sky, you are at the age to get married, you can find someone reliable to marry him. If you cannot find someone suitable, you can ask for help from your aunt.”
The obvious refusal in the words was also a way to get rid of her, as if it was some warning.
Maybe there were someone who did not understand, but she Sky Song was very clear about it.
She was kind of afraid of Alex since she was a little kid, because his eyes seemed to be able to figure out what she was thinking about. Whatever she did, he seemed to know it. Facing him, she felt ill at ease subconsciously.
“Sky is still very young. Why are you always mentioning this topic? I am already paying attention to it.” Diana interrupted Alex and told everyone to have dinner.
The brothers in Lu Family were joking with each other, and they were laughing quite happily.
The meal today was not simple at all.
Luke did not give Jenny any face. He face was cold all the time, even Diana could not bear it, so that she reminded him that he should know who he was and take care of Jenny. Jenny was thinking that he would go with Sky, if it was not for Diana.
After she had some food, she felt there was no taste in her mouth, and went to the restroom.
When she came out, Sky Song was there in front of the washing tub and washing her hands.
It seemed like Sky was waiting for Jenny.
Jenny took a look at Sky and walked directly towards the washing basin to wash her hands, not caring about her.
“You also see that Luke treated me in a special way.”
“So what?” Jenny washed her hands and pulled out two sheets of paper to wipe her hands.
“I advise you not to waste your youth. You have a long career path to go. What if you ruin it on your marriage? You should think about what else you can do if your marriage fails.”
