Jenny was depressed all the way home.Mandy could tell at a glance that something was wrong with her daughter."What's wrong, sweetheart? Why do you look so bad? Did anyone bully you? "Seeing that, Mandy immediately stopped embroidering, stood up and walked to her. She held her hand and asked with concern."It's all Nancy's fault. She always stands in my way to happiness."Not knowing how to tell her the truth, she could only say these words resentfully."Nancy? What happened? Does she want to be on top of you this time just because of her slightly successful brother? "As soon as she heard the name Nancy, her face changed and darkened.After all, she hated Nancy's mother the most in her life, so naturally, Nancy and Shawn became her thorns in the flesh."I can't explain it to you in a few words. Anyway, I will find a way to deal with her."Jenny said angrily.Mandy frowned as if she was planning something.Not long after, a smile suddenly appeared on her face."Jenny, how about letting Nancy and Shawn have dinner at home? I'll handle the rest."Seeing that her mother was so confident, she couldn't guess what she was thinking."Mom, don't you hate the two of them the most? Why do you want to invite them to dinner? "She looked at her mother in confusion, pouted and asked helplessly."Silly girl, I did this for you and your father. He is worried about GIO's threat every day. What about you? You're annoyed by Nancy's threat. I have to sacrifice myself to help you father and daughter. "Although she didn't tell her what she was going to do, Jenny was still a little excited after hearing what she said."Well, I'll contact them as soon as possible. Thank you, mom."As she spoke, she reached out her hand and held her mother in her arms, acting like a spoiled child."Stop it, you girl."She slightly frowned and didn't know what to say to her daughter.She had thought that inviting the two of them to have dinner at home would be a very troublesome thing. After all, the complicated relationship of the Luo family had not been resolved yet.However, to her surprise, Nancy agreed without hesitation.Although Jenny was confused about it, she didn't care so much as she thought that her mother would help her vent her anger at that time.The Luo family's villa had changed a lot these days."Nancy, I'm a little worried."Before entering, Shawn held her hand and frowned slightly. The worry on his flawless handsome face could be seen clearly.She knew what he was worried about, but she didn't know how to comfort him. She could only pat him on the shoulder, indicating him to relax.He took several deep breaths in a row, trying to relax himself.She entered the living room and saw the luxurious decorations.The chandelier in the living room was bigger than before, and the French window beside the sofa was also changed into a piece, which looked more spacious than before.In the dining hall next door, most of the dishes had been prepared on the table."Shawn, he should be in the study on the second floor now. You can go upstairs."This time, the two of them didn't receive any special treatment. It was not until now did they see Mandy.As for Joseph, according to his habit, he must be in the study now.Hearing that, Shawn nodded and looked at the direction of the stairs with a little sadness.This home was no longer what it looked like in his memory.With heavy steps, he went upstairs step by step. The duplex two-floor attic and the short stairs were like a long swamp for him today. Every step he took was frightening.He walked to the door of the study.There was no change in the position of the study in Joseph, including the door, which was the same as the memory of his childhood.Raising his hand, he knocked on the door gently."Come in."After about two seconds of silence, the voice of Joseph came."I'm sorry. I knocked on the door without your permission."After pushing the door open, he looked into the room and happened to see Joseph, who was sitting in front of the desk with his back to the window. There was a good rice paper on the table and he was practicing calligraphy.Shawn vaguely remembered that when he was a child, every time this man was in the study, he would never allow anyone to disturb him."It has been so many years, and some of my habits have been different from before. Shawn, come in and have a seat."He said to Shawn as he put down his brush and paper.Hearing these words, Shawn didn't think too much."No, thanks. I just want to ask you for the key to my mom's room. I want to go in and have a look."He didn't want to talk too much with him. In his heart, he only hated him.As Shawn mention his mother, Joseph's face changed subtly."Shawn, since your mother's accident, her room has been empty. No one is allowed to enter except the housekeeper who goes in to clean the dust regularly."Of course, no one would go in.When his mother was sick, Joseph did not fulfill his duty as a husband, and even lived in this villa with Mandy.Mandy spread a rumor that his mother was a disaster, and the nanny was unwilling to get close to her.It was during her mother's most difficult time that Joseph sent him and Nancy to a closed boarding school.When he grew up, he thought about it carefully. Who could guarantee that it was not a secret arrangement?"You don't have the right to deprive me of visiting my mom's room. As long as there is a trace of love for my mom in your heart, you shouldn't stop me."His hands were trembling uncontrollably, and his voice was not steady. A burning sensation in his eyes came madly.
