Long time passed, Andrew Chu finally said, "Stop now. This is Miss Shen's first visit. Don't spoil it."
He intended to restrain Jackson Chu's anger, lest his grandson might lose his temper.
Upon his word, everyone tried their best to calm down.
Cherry Shen looked at John Ye with hatred in her heart. She thought, 'John Ye, you betrayed me and had sex with my older sister. I'll become your aunt as revenge. You gonna regret losing me.'
Cherry Shen said, "Nephew John, all I want is your uncle. I love him only. He is everything to me."
Upon her word, the two men were clear about her choice.
John Ye's eyes were full of tears. He was shocked that Cherry Shen said she loved Jackson Chu. Did that mean the love between them was gone?
As for Jackson Chu, he knew clearly that Cherry Shen was lying, but why was he pleased by her words?
Cherry Shen put her hand around Jackson Chu's waist. In such intimate gesture with her fiance, she looked to Andrew Chu and smiled, "Grandpa, John and I were schoolmates before. Maybe he is not ready to see me becoming his aunt. Please don't mind it."
The explanation comforted Andrew Chu a little bit. Jackson Chu kept silent.
"If so, " Andrew turned to Lucia Chu and John Ye, "I believe you will get along well with her in future as you were schoolmates. It's nothing for your schoolmate becoming your aunt. You don't need to feel embarrassed."
"But I..." John Ye wanted to explain, but Lucia Chu stopped him.
Lucia Chu said to Andrew Chu in great respect, "Grandfather, John is still too young to control himself. Perhaps he was too thrilled to see his classmate become his aunt. Please don't blame him. Today, we should focus on Jackson and his wife."
Everyone gazed at Jackson Chu and Cherry Shen after hearing her words. John Ye was no longer the target.
Andrew Chu smiled and said, "Indeed. Jackson, did you get the marriage certificate?"
"Not yet. The army is scrutinizing it. I might get it in a few days." Jackson Chu replied casually. He was still thinking of the issue between John Ye and Cherry Shen.
"Good." Andrew Chu nodded, "Have you visited Cherry's parents?"
Before Jackson Chu replied, Cherry Shen said, "Grandpa, Jackson have visited my father and step-mother. And they have blessed our marriage ."
"Good. Good." Andrew Chu said with pleasure. His dear grandson eventually did one thing good for the family inheritance. It seemed that Cherry Shen was healthy enough to give birth to several great-grandsons. Then he needn't worry about the Chu Clan's posterity.
Lucia Chu also echoed, "Grandpa, Miss Shen seemed like a moderate girl. I dare say Jackson and her will be a pair of happy couple. Before long, our house is going to be more boisterous."
Hearing her words, Andrew Chu emitted a loud laughter. But Jackson Chu wasn't so excited. In his opinion, it was an universal truth that his wife would parent children with him.
