Ice and Fire novel Chapter 838

"We both understand the power of the Chu family. But we've never messed with them. Besides, you got into this position on your own. I don't think Jackson will give us a hard time, will he?" Ann Tang asked with a concerned look. She was trying to comprehend what her husband was telling her. She had never seen her husband this conscious and concerned about the people in the government before.

"He won't," Gabe assured his wife, though he himself was in doubt. He had never associated with Jackson before. When he had been in some parties, he got no chance to talk with Jackson but watched him discreetly. So he had no idea what Jackson was like. He tried to get linked to them but they were mostly off the government circle grid since John Ye left. Gabe always felt he was too ordinary a person when he was in the presence of Jackson Chu.

"Then we got nothing to worry about," Ann Tang concluded. She then added, "Our family has some influence in the city, at least we have a say in the government. Jackson will know it. Besides, our daughter is well-educated. She is beautiful and slender. She is better than other rich girls out there. I'm sure Jackson and Cherry will like her and accept her as their daughter-in-law." Ann was confident of what her daughter could bring to the Chu's table. This was what they had been preparing for for their daughter- to be married off to a rich family.

"I'm still not sure about this," Gabe responded. He had always been sure about everything except this one. He looked at his wife and asked, "What do you think of Jackson's children? Do you think they are the same with the rest from the upper class society?"

Like Jackson, his children were not something that the media could feast on. As a result, not everyone knew anything about them. Aside from being a powerful family, they were also discreet and flawless. All that Ann knew about the Chu children were based on what was known in the government circle. After thinking for a moment and collecting her thoughts, Ann shook her head. "They are different. Lawrence is excellent and shrewd. He gives off a different aura from other rich young men. He has never indulges himself in entertainments or gotten any bad publicity. Many women try to approach him, but none of them spent the night with him," she remarked.

She paused for a moment. Gabe could see that his wife was trying hard to give him all she knew about the family. Ann rested her back on the sofa and continued, "I heard that Jackson's daughter keeps a low profile and I never met her before. Looks like she's married to Fred Xiao's son. But they didn't even hold a glamorous wedding. I don't know what kind of girl she is. Who wouldn't want a big shot wedding?"

After hearing all these information from his wife, he paused for a moment to process them in his head. He picked up his cup of tea, rested his back on the lounge, and drink some tea. He rested the cup on his left hand, while his right was holding the ear. "I think Mr. Jackson and his wife must have educated their children in a different way. Perhaps they may not pay much attention to the family background or education," he said apprehensively.

"You have a point," Ann followed. "But anyway, Mary stands out among the rich girls of her age, doesn't she? Doesn't matter who they are. I'm confident of our Mary, so don't worry."

"Perhaps you're right," Gabe nodded at her. "Well, let's wait and see. She looked so happy and she's looking forward to meeting Lawrence Chu, so I had no intention in ruining her good mood."

"We'd better keep it to ourselves. We should let her lead a carefree life," Ann proposed. "Besides, she's now a grown lady. I'm sure she can handle this things on her own."
