Chapter 285
Mo Nan stared in surprise.
“You can see all that?”
Jenny gave a “hmm”.
“And you agreed to let her come over?Isn’t that like knowing she dug you a hole and jumping in it herself?”
Jenny laughed.
“How can you call this digging a hole?She’s desperate and needs a job, and I need a capable assistant who knows what she’s doing, so if she comes over, it’s a win-win situation.What kind of a pit is that?”
Mo Nan was silent.
After a half-hearted moment, Fang gave her a grudging look.
“Fine, since you think you can trust us again, we’ll trust you once, but don’t worry, I’ll keep an eye on her from now on and never let her have the chance to be evil.”
Jenny couldn’t help but laugh when she looked like an enemy.
Mo Nan belonged to the most typical type of people who were simple-minded on all fours.
She felt that someone who had betrayed her once must not be trusted again.
But she doesn’t know that there is a lot of inevitability in life, and circumstances.
Jenny asked herself, if she were put in Aoi’s shoes, with her ailing mother on one side and an unrelated stranger on the other, she would have made the same choice as Aoi.
Jenny didn’t dwell on this topic, and after getting into the car, he drove straight to Maple Bridge Villa.
It was exactly nine o’clock at night when I got home.
Aunt Liu has been transferred back from Visterdem by Biden Lu and now also lives in Villa Maple Bridge, taking care of the house for her.
And because Ann’s health is not good, to school, but also doctors, Jenny and Biden Lu have to work, naturally, can not always accompany her, so still live in the old mansion side.
Just pick up and play every weekend or when Jenny Jing and Biden Lu are free.
Jenny and Mo Nan got out of the car together, and only just walked away from the door, did they keenly notice that something was wrong with the atmosphere inside.
The villa was brightly illuminated, and in the living room stood the maids of One Water, Aunt Liu standing at the front, and the end of her eyes caught sight of Jenny and Mo Nan coming in, and even gave her a wink.
Jenny Jing would be impressed and raised his eyebrows.
Taking a few steps inside, I heard the woman’s mean, cold voice.
“This is Kyoto, not a small countryside place like Visterdem, you have to know who you are working for, we have the rules of the Lu family, don’t be brought out of poverty by some people who come from a small countryside place.”
On the couch in the centre, with her legs crossed and a cup of tea shaking slowly in her hands, Lu Lanzhi is teaching a lesson from on high.
As soon as Mo Nan heard what she said, she immediately understood who the sarcastic words were, and her face turned pale, about to attack.
Jenny, however, stopped her and held up a finger to her lips, signaling her to be quiet.
Mo Nan, seeing this, could only endure and took a step back.
Lu Lanzhi still doesn’t know that Jenny has returned, taking a sip of Rong tea before continuing, “This Lu family in Kyoto is a hundred years of nobility, the family is the face of the whole family, like these glass, coffee table, and those ornaments over there, can use the best naturally.
Look at this. What have you got here?Don’t talk to me about the wife’s likes, the wife’s tastes.
Your wives come from small places and don’t have much knowledge, but you’re different, you’ve been working for various gentry families in Kyoto.
Before coming to the land, I’m sure they all had a lot of experience working in other homes, so they shouldn’t be unaware of what’s good and what’s bad.
As the saying goes, if you’ve never eaten pork before, haven’t you seen a pig run before?Besides, this Maple Bridge Villa is designed by the most famous international designer, and all the flowers and plants inside are carefully arranged and cultivated.
Look at this, and now it’s in such a state. It’s not like a nobleman’s wife, it’s just like a small country house.
I don’t blame you guys, I know, you couldn’t stop it, but now that I’m here, just move all this stuff to where it was supposed to go.”
I said that I would command the maids to start cleaning up the house.
Jenny listened with a snicker.
Unable to resist any longer, he stepped forward and coldly shouted, “Stop!”
Everyone was shocked, and when they turned around, they saw that she was back at some point.
One by one, they all greeted her in succession, and Jenny nodded, not looking at them, looking straight at Lu Lanzhi, who was still sitting on the sofa.
Lucian was just startled to hear her voice, but quickly reacted.
She was Biden Lu’s aunt and had raised Biden Lu since he was a child, without merit or hardship.
To put it bluntly, it would be like being half of Biden Lu’s mother.
In the past, when Jenny hadn’t come to the capital, she was free to come in and out of Maple Bridge Villa as she pleased.
Isn’t it enough now?
Thinking this, Lucian sat down again.
A nonchalant glance at her.
Jenny stepped forward and called out politely, “Aunt.”
Lu Lanzhi snorted and spoke in a gloomy tone, “Back?You heard what I just told them, didn’t you?”
Jenny nodded, “Yeah, I hear you.”
“Don’t blame me for being nosy, Biden was brought up by me as a child, and to me, he’s like my own son.
I know he likes you and spoils you, and it’s a blessing that you can’t control it if I want to.
But since you’ve become our Lu family’s daughter-in-law, there are some things that I have to teach you.
Our Lu family is not those small families outside, the Lu family has its own rules and facade, those unpresentable behavior and taste, I hope you can throw away as soon as possible.
Learn early, how to be a woman worthy of who you are, so you don’t go out and get laughed at.”
Jenny scoffed.
“Not sure what I’ve done to make people laugh, though.If your aunt knows, can you tell me a little bit about it?”
Lu Lanzhi frowned and snorted, “You don’t even notice what you’ve done, and you still have the nerve to ask?See for yourself.”
She said, pointing to a decorative cabinet next to the living room.
“If I remember correctly, there used to be some expensive antique vases in here, but why are they replaced with these now?Do you have any idea how much money was spent on the design and decoration of Maple Bridge Villa?
Every place in it is carefully placed and you move when you say you will, have you asked the depth of the view for advice?Have I been asked for my opinion?”
Jenny sneered.
“Aunt, I don’t understand that.This is my home with Biden, and I’m merely changing a few furnishings, so why ask your opinion?”
“You!”
Lucian was extremely angry.
“With those antique vases that I gave to Biden in the first place, and besides, I’m Biden’s aunt…”
“I know.”
Chapter 286
Jenny paused and said in a deep voice: “Because you’re Shen’s aunt, I’ve always been polite to you because you took care of him since he was a child.
But I’m a rather odd person and don’t like people meddling in my personal affairs, so if you must meddle, forgive me if I can’t agree with your approach.
Also, Maple Bridge Cottage is my home, so next time if you are coming over, please let me know in advance.
As for those antique vases, I didn’t know they were from you before, but don’t worry, I just had them put away, and if you need them, I can have them returned to you, ensuring that none of them will be missing.”
She said, and when she did, she asked someone to bring out the vases that had been put away.
Lu Lanzhi was so angry that her face changed.
“Jenny!Don’t play dumb with me!Am I talking about the vase?I’m saying you’re not good enough for Biden!
An ignorant woman who doesn’t know anything, who really thinks she is, Biden is spoiling you now, do you think he will spoil you forever?
I’m telling you, there can only be one mistress of this land house, and that is…”
“Lucian!”
A cold, stern drink suddenly came from the doorway.
Immediately after that, I saw Biden Lu stride in with a cold face.
As soon as Lu Lanzhi saw him, she immediately swallowed the rest of her words, and the expression on her face showed a 180-degree change, from an angry stare to a smiling face immediately, welcoming him.
“Biden, you’re back?”
Biden Lu frowned fiercely.
“What are you doing here?”
When Lu Lanzhi saw his face, she laughed at him.
“It’s nothing, but I just happened to pass by here today and stopped by to check it out.”
After a pause, she said, “Biden, I just saw her replace those antique vases I sent before, I felt a little uncomfortable, and I spoke heavily only at the moment, no other meaning, but your daughter-in-law is rather like I said to take the vases back, really….”
She didn’t finish the sentence, but the meaning had gotten through.
It was nothing more than thinking that Jenny was stingy and couldn’t say.
She, as an elder, still has to look the other way.
Biden Lu looked at her.
“Those vases, I had them put away.”
Lucian was stunned.
Jenny opened her mouth to say something, but then closed it again.
Lucian reacted with an awkward smile.
“So, it looks like a misunderstanding then, huh… I thought, it was Jenny who put it away!Thinking you youngsters, do you not like this old fancy, and if not, send me something else some other time.”
Biden Lu rudely interrupted, “No need.”
He said, taking Jenny’s hand.
“Is there anything else you want?Go home early if you’re fine, Jenny and I are tired and need to rest.”
The smile on Lucian’s face froze again.
For a moment, she nodded.
“It’s okay, in that case, I’ll leave you to rest, I’ll see you later.”
Afterwards, the grey slips away.
After Lu Lanzhi left, Jenny looked at her back and frowned.
Biden Lu thought she was still upset about what had just happened, sighed and explained, “That person of hers is like that, don’t take it personally, next time I’ll have someone watch out for her and not let her just come over.”
Jenny (city in Beijing)
Shake your head.
“No, I’m just feeling a little weird.”
“Well?”
Jenny Jing withdrew his gaze and looked at Biden Lu.
“Don’t you think it’s a little strange that she suddenly came over here today, first throwing a tantrum and then asking about the vase?”
It was fine that she didn’t say it, but when she said it like that, Biden Lu also felt a little weird.
Lu Lanzhi is a person who is neurotic and sarcastic, though, plus he likes to be provoked and is always doing something out of the ordinary.
But it is still very generous with money.
Even if she didn’t like Jenny and wanted to pick on her, she couldn’t make a big deal out of something that had already been given away.
You need to know that things have already been given away, people can do what they want, that’s their freedom, and it’s none of her business.
But it was as if she had come over for a walk today and deliberately brought up those things.
Thinking of this, Biden Lu also frowned.
Jenny Jing said in a deep voice, “At first, I was watching the maids polishing those vases every day, serving them carefully for fear of accidentally breaking them and finding it troublesome.
That’s why I had the vase put away for something nice and practical to put on display, but I didn’t think she’d come over here today to talk about it, and I always felt as if she meant something else by talking about it on purpose.”
Biden Lu nodded and consoled, “Don’t think too much about it, I’ll send someone to look into this matter, she’ll come over again in the future, you just don’t have to pay attention to her.”
Jenny gave a “hmm”.
The next day, Jenny went to shoot as usual, and while taking a break, he overheard two actors discussing the news that there was a jewellery auction in Kyoto three days later.
She wasn’t much interested in the jewellery stuff, but remembered that in a month’s time, it would be the old lady’s 70th birthday.
The old lady usually has no special hobbies, except for collecting some beautiful jewellery.
I’m told that when she was younger, she even studied under a teacher, specializing in jewellery design.
An auction that could be discussed like this should not be too small in scale, and there should be quite a few rare and exotic treasures at that time.
After thinking about it, Jenny asked the two actors for the address of the jewellery auction, and then told Biden Lu to get two tickets to go see it that day.
Three days later, the jewellery auction was live.
Jenny wore a black lace dress with a red trench coat and a hat, a very low-key outfit.
Biden Lu, on the other hand, was dressed in a black suit, still in that meticulous manner, and the two of them took their number plates and went to their designated seats.
They weren’t at the front, and Jenny didn’t want to be too high-profile and noticeable, so he only needed the third row in the middle.
I didn’t expect to see a familiar figure walk in just before I sat down.
“Tailor Feng?Why is he here?”
As a descendant of the Feng family, one of the four great families of Kyoto, Tailor Feng is different from the other brothers. He is unrestrained, never follows the rules, and likes to hang around flowers all year round, which has always been a headache for the two elders of the Feng family.
Tailor Feng also saw them, after all, even if Jenny was low-key, he couldn’t afford to sit there with Biden Lu.
Others had seen little of Biden Lu and might not have recognized him for a while, but he and Biden Lu had grown up together as children, so naturally they recognized him at a glance.
“Second brother, second sister-in-law!”
Tailor Feng shouted excitedly and made a show of running over.
Jenny was afraid that he would make too much noise to attract the attention of the people around him, so he even raised a finger to his lips and gave a “shush”.
Chapter 287
Only then did Tailor Feng lighten his steps and quietly run over when the lights were dim and the people around him weren’t paying attention.
“Second brother, second sister-in-law, what are you guys doing here?”
“If you can come, why can’t we?”
Jenny found it funny and poked fun at it.
Tailor Feng didn’t care and took the initiative to say, “Let me tell you the truth, this auction tonight is hosted by our family, if you guys fancy something later, you can tell me first and I’ll say hello for you, absolutely no one will steal it from you.”
Jenny was surprised, and Biden Lu looked at him and said in a deep voice, “If you’re so capable, why didn’t you say you’d just send us?”
Tailor Feng lagged.
“This… second brother, you’re making it too difficult for me, you don’t know that the financial power of our family is in my father’s hands, if I really give it away, it’s only weird if my father doesn’t break my legs.”
Jenny laughed at his amusement, and just then, a young man walked over from the corner of the hall.
“Second brother, second sister-in-law.”
The person wearing a dark gray suit, moist and handsome features, words and laughs banquet, its own a Confucian and genial atmosphere itself flow out.
Jenny had met him once before and knew that he was also a good friend of Biden Lu, who seemed to be an amazing genius doctor named Ji Yun Shu, so he even stood up to greet him as well.
Ji Yunshu didn’t expect to run into them here and asked curiously, “Second sister-in-law is also interested in jewellery?”
He knew that Biden Lu had no interest in this.
Jenny laughed, “No, just a casual re-visit.”
When Ji Yunshu heard that, he nodded his head and didn’t ask any more questions.
When Tailor Feng saw this, he simply didn’t go to the front anymore and directly arranged for someone to change seats, pulling Ji Yunshu to sit in the back row as well, sitting with Biden Lu and the others.
“Second brother, I tell you, there are several good things tonight, all particularly suitable for sister-in-law, when it comes out later I remind you ah, you take a closer look.”
Jenny was busy stopping him.
“You stop, don’t encourage your second brother, we’re here today just to look around, we didn’t think about buying anything.”
Tailor Feng laughed thiefishly.
“Little sister-in-law, don’t be like that, they say women can’t be too economical with themselves, if you don’t spend this money, someone will naturally spend it for you, besides, our second brother has more money, and isn’t afraid of you…”
Before I could finish my sentence, I received a blast to the head.
Tailor Feng sighed and covered his head, looking at Biden Lu in aggravation.
“Second brother, why are you hitting someone when it’s so nice?”
Lu Jing had a deep face and said in a cold voice, “Will you shut up or not?If you don’t shut up do you believe I’ll throw you out of here?”
Only then did Tailor Feng quickly make a motion to seal his mouth, signaling that he would not speak.
Biden Lu held Jenny Jing’s hand and whispered, “Don’t listen to his nonsense, my money is your money, it has nothing to do with other women.”
Jenny couldn’t help it.
Tailor Feng silently slandered a wife and slave in his heart, in the end did not dare to say anything more, obediently sat and waited for the auction to start.
Soon, everyone was there and the event began.
Jenny still remembered the set of red coral jewellery that Biden Lu gave her last time, in fact, she thought that set was very suitable to give to the old lady, she was young after all, there were less occasions to use this kind of jewellery.
The old lady is different, she’s old enough to like these big red and green things that look festive.
Just because those were gifts from Biden Lu, it’s not good to give them away again, just hoping to see jewellery similar to that set tonight, too.
It’s not a waste of time.
Biden Lu knew what she was thinking and whispered in her ear, “That set of jewellery actually has a sister outfit, a set of emeralds, but that set is at her aunt’s place, and this time when grandmother is celebrating her 70th full birthday, I’m sure she’ll give it away.”
Jenny was stunned and frowned.
“So shall we change it for something else?Would it be a bad idea to give jewellery for all of them?”
Biden Lu shook his head.
“Old people, just for a happy occasion, each has their own intentions, no need to care about that.”
Only then did Jenny nod.
Ji Yunshu was sitting right next to them, so naturally he heard their conversation.
I’ve heard the news also leaned in and whispered: “Old lady’s birthday, I personally painted a pair of Shoubi Nanshan picture, put it in my house, it’s not anything valuable, it’s all thoughts, when there is time, second brother come to the door to help me see, if there is anything wrong or tell me in advance, I’ll make changes early.”
Ji Yunshu was not only good at medicine, but also at painting, especially landscape painting, which was said to have some of Master Ji’s style back then.
Biden Lu nodded.
“Grandma’s always liked you, and she’ll like anything you draw, so don’t bother too much.”
Ji Yunshu smiled faintly.
Tailor Feng was a little reluctant to hear it.
“If you ask me, Grandma Lu is just biased, why is it that every time Yun Shu goes over, she’s happy as if she’s seeing her own grandson, and when she looks at me she only calls me skin monkey.
And there’s more, for her birthday last year, Yun Shu was able to lull the old lady into a frenzy just by giving her a jar of tea, but I carefully found a jade pillow from abroad, she just saw it, it’s just too hurtful to my heart.”
Ji Yunshu said in a soft voice, “That’s because I used my heart, and your jade pillow is nothing new besides looking fun.”
“But it’s expensive!I was paying a lot of money for it.”
“My tea isn’t cheap.”
“Can a jar of your tea be as expensive as my jade pillow?”
“Even if it’s not as expensive as your jade pillow, it’s still better in heart than your jade pillow.”
“Eh, no, old Ji, you’re just determined to compete with me today, aren’t you!”
“……..”
Seeing that the two were about to pinch, Jenny interrupted incessantly.
“Wait, is the jade pillow you’re talking about the one with the phoenix pattern from the Han Dynasty that was unearthed just a few years ago?”
Tailor Feng knew that she knew about this jade pillow as soon as she heard it, and was busy saying happily, “Yes, yes, that’s the one, it really is still little sister-in-law who has insight.”
Jenny smiled awkwardly.
“No, I was just curious, how much of a heartbreaker do you think a person has to be to give someone something that a dead person has slept with as a birthday present, doesn’t that curse them?”
Tailor Feng: “……..”
Ji Yun Shu and Biden Lu couldn’t help but laugh.
Tailor Feng was so angry that he gritted his teeth in defense, “How does that make it a dead person sleeping?According to you, all those antiques and stuff have become unwinnable?”
Jenny held the corners of his mouth with a leathery smile.
“Don’t worry, I didn’t say that, mainly it’s not a burial object, it sounds more or less unlucky, something that’s been in the grave and then dug up for a birthday…”
“Enough!”
Tailor Feng was on the verge of tears, “I figured out that the three of you are just joining forces to bully me today, huh?I’m not theorizing with you, and you won’t understand if I do!”
Saying that, he actually held his arms, twisted his body to the side and went to sulk.
