The room suddenly felt a little repressive.
"Jennie had been back for quite a while. After conditioning her body,
she should be able to have a baby now!"
Tzuyu spoke up suddenly and broke the silence. She cast a glance a
Jennie with a slight smile in her eyes. Jennie could sense a
hint of longing and envy in her tone!
It might be due to knowing that Tzuyu had lost a child before that Jennie sympathized her, but she could not say it.
Jennie smiled slightly. She knew no matter what she said at this
moment, she would not earn anymore than a scowl.
If she expressed her lack of desire for a child, Old Mistress would be
enraged, how could a madam of Manoban Family have a thought such as
this?
If she expressed her desire for a child, Old Mistress might also quip at
her, how dare she express her ambition of succeeding the Manoban Family?
The tension was tight between the two families. Even though they
knew the inside story, they had to pretend nothing was happening. Jennie was going to go crazy.
Beside her, Lisa held her hand into a tight grip.
He almost growled, "It should be soon! When we have the little carrot
head, grandmother, you won't feel lonely anymore!"
With that declaration, Lisa looked at Jennie before staring
straight at his grandmother with conviction!
A tiny chill crept up Jennie's back. Lisa made a bold
statement-his child must be born by her.
Old Mistress scoffed lightly. She looked at Jennie's skinny frame
then looked at Lisa.
In the end, she sighed. 'This child could not grow out of this foxy
woman, after all.'
"She's all skin and bones, we don't even know when she would be
carrying. Moreover, having a weak constitution is not good for the
child! I think she should condition her body for now!"
Jennies was not sure why, but she could hear Old Mistress's tone
loosening up, accepting the fact that she might continue Manoban Family's
legacy by birthing an offspring...
"Nini is not weak, I think she's just right!" Lisa protested.
His protective nature had tickled Jennie's heart.
"Grandmother, I heard you were also a skinny beauty in your heydays.
Look, Manoban Family still managed to blossom into the fruitful tree that
we are now. All this is to your credit!"
Lisa had always been so protective of his wife, it was almost
watertight. He praised Old Mistress, but at the same time, he stopped
her from her insults!
Old Mistress sighed again. She understood just how fiercely Lisa
was protecting the girl. It was the Spring Festival, a rare time where
everyone gathered. Even though she disliked Jennie, she should
not be too overt about it, so she decided to let it go.
Old Mistress turned toward Tzuyu. "It had been so many years before
there was any news from Zhe'er. Xiao Tzuyu, you should go and have a checkup at your third uncle's hospital!"
Tzuyu face paled. She looked at Taecyeon with trembling lips before
he smiled. "Grandmother, I've been too busy, I'm not ready yet! Lisa is the descendant of the eldest child, but uncle didn't want children due to his prominent military merit, causing Lisa to be
the younger one, I think he should take the lead this time!"
Having said that, Taecyeon shot Lisa a mysterious smile as he
glanced at Jennie. Seeing the topic boomeranged to Jennie, Old Mistress smiled
faintly, "You young people always have your ideas. Whatever you want
to do, go ahead, I can't care anymore!"
Xue Meiwei and Lu Shan smiled alongside Old Mistress, saying that the
children have their own destinies to fulfill.
Taecyeon saw Jennie's cold gaze and laughed. He said softly,
"Jennie is the number one socialite cultured by Kim Family. She has
both looks and talent. The future eldest grandchild in Manoban Family has
to be birthed by her!"
"However, Lisa should work harder. I heard my sister-in-law
isn't the tamest horse in the barn..."
Halfway through his unfiltered comment, Taecyeon paused and staredat Jennie, grinning at the irony.
It was an obvious challenge. If it were not for each other's
understanding of the situation, it would seem as if he had pursued Jennie before.
Silently, Jennie glowered in disdain!-------------------------------------
