After all, if she wanted to follow by Emma’s side, she needed to look the part!
After their daughter fell asleep, Luke hugged Lisa from behind. He was dressed in a usual black suit. Since he followed Eric, wearing suits like this had become a professional habit.
“Is our daughter asleep?”
“Yes, after we leave the house, Auntie Qiu from next door will come take care of her. Don’t worry,” Luke whispered beside Lisa’s ear.
“In that case…I’m ready. Let’s go.”
“Wait,” Luke said before he fetched a box from his pocket and opened it in front of Lisa. Sitting inside the box was a beautiful diamond ring. As soon as Lisa saw it, she was stunned.
“This is?”
“After getting married, I feel like I haven’t bought you anything,” Luke took out the diamond ring and placed it gently on Lisa’s fi**ger. “Tonight, you may hear some random gossip. But, don’t be afraid, I’ll be here with you…”
“I’ve already prepared myself to meet with the Lu Family. Did you think that I’m a pushover?” Lisa asked. She understood that throughout the entire drama, Luke was the one that suffered the most. He was stuck bet**en his wife and mother and was forced to make all kinds of decisions. So, how could her heart not ache for him?
Luke nodded his head and strung Lisa’s hand across his arm. He then led her towards the battlefield…
…
Due to Lisa’s frequent appearance on entertainment news the last few days, Mother Lu felt embarrassed in front of her friends and family.
However, she pretended that they were a harmonious family and that she never looked down on Lisa’s background and profession. After all, her son was in the same industry, so she pretended to accept her even though she didn’t understand her. But, friends and family were now discussing Lisa in private, so her pre-existing bias made their gossip even harder to listen to…
Luckily, she still had a ‘grandson’ that brought her comfort.
She obviously couldn’t tell everyone how the child came about, so she simply told her friends and family that Luke’s ex-girlfriend gave birth to it.
But, these people weren’t stupid, right?
Luke and Lisa had already been married for so long and this child was only a hundred days old. According to Mother Lu’s words, wasn’t she indirectly saying that her son was an adulterous as*hole that had an affair?
Although they didn’t say it to Mother Lu’s face, they, of course, ridiculed her behind her back.
This made Father Lu furious. As a result, he dragged Mother Lu into one of the rooms, “I’ve never seen a mother like you before. Our son is a good and honest person, how did he end up with such a bad image?”
“I’ve said ages ago that it didn’t matter if Luke and Xiao Man had a second child and whether it turned out to be a son or not, yet you kept persisting. Now that the child is born, you decided to hold a hundred days celebration instead of keeping it a secret like other people would. Are you not humiliated enough?”
“Hmmph!” Mother Lu humped before she refuted, “Back when I told our son to have a son, you wouldn’t side with me. Afterwards, when I told him to break up with that woman, you wouldn’t side with me either. Now that the child is born and I simply want to give my grandchild some acknowledgement, you still won’t side with me. Whose husband are you?”
After hearing this, Father Lu held his head, “You’re impossible to talk to!”
“Since we have a grandson, I, of course have to make things official. I can’t let people talk about him behind his back while he hides like a rat. He needs proper acknowledgement. Hence, I have no choice but to say that Luke was forced to breakup with his ex-girlfriend because that sl*t stepped in bet**en them.”
Father Lu was dumbfounded…
He couldn’t understand how his family had turned out like this.
“Do what you want. I won’t get involved anymore.”
After speaking, Father Lu stormed out, leaving the sneering Mother Lu behind, “What’s with the act, you’re obviously happy to have a grandson.”
Afterwards, Mother Lu tidied herself up a little and followed Father Lu out of the room to mingle amongst the guests again…
Luke never imagined that his mother would ruin his image in such a way. Although he appeared indifferent on the surface, Lisa understood how it felt to be hurt by one’s own family.
On that particular night, the Lu Family home was luxuriously decorated. Although no outsiders were invited and only members of the Lu Family were asked to attend, the big family still consisted of 30-40 people. Since they all wanted to watch a good show, pretty much everyone turned up. When gathered in the same place, it was quite an intimidating scene.
Father Lu was the third eldest in the family. Above him, were two older brothers. But, Luke barely mentioned these uncles because they barely kept in touch and he disliked these arrogant relatives. Hence, he had never actually allowed Lisa to meet with them. However, he didn’t realize that this would create a lot of troubles for Lisa.
Because, Mother Lu did not paint a good picture of her in front of the curious relatives…
With the added fact that Lisa was in the entertainment industry and often appeared in the news, the Lu Family had an even worse imp**ssion of her…
Everyone thought that Luke married a wife like this because he had something wrong with his brain…
But, while all this was happening, Luke and Lisa were on their way…
“All your relatives are going to be there, but I haven’t officially met any of them even though we’ve been legally married for so long.”
The couple had a low profile wedding and didn’t even host a big ceremony. Afterwards, they were troubled by having a child for a long time before they finally gave birth to a daughter!
Probably, even Luke didn’t know that Mother Lu and Father Lu’s fuse was already lit back when he first announced his marriage!
Hence, they never introduced their daughter-in-law to family and friends either.
So, after she gave birth to a daughter, Mother Lu hated her even more!
Luke thought for a moment and replied to Lisa, “It’s because I never considered these people as important. As you know, I don’t really keep in contact with insignificant people and I can’t be bothered spending time on them. So, I don’t want to make things awkward and annoying for you.”
“It’s not that I didn’t want to introduce you to them.”
“I know,” Lisa nodded. This was consistent with Luke’s personality. He didn’t like unnecessary politeness and small talk. “In a moment, if we meet with some wolves, please protect me well.”
Luke smiled and p**ssed Lisa’s head onto his shoulder…
They were about to step into a frightening battlefield!
…
With this background, the hundred days celebration was guaranteed to be spectacular and quite a show. However, up until this point, the child that Mother Lu spoke of, had not been carried out yet because he was in deep sleep and the protagonists, Luke and Lisa hadn’t arrived either.
But, someone was detailed enough to question where the mother was.
As Luke’s ex-girlfriend, shouldn’t she be attending too?
With a million questions running through their minds, the relatives were filled with interest because they knew a good show was on its way.
Father Lu did not want to get involved. After all, everything they discussed was at the expense of his loved ones.
“Aiyo, Auntie, why hasn’t Luke arrived yet? We’re getting impatient…”
“I know, right? Why don’t we try to guess if he’s coming on his own or with his wife.”
“If he’s coming with his wife, then the situation is going to be a lot more interesting to watch.”
If Luke was smart enough, he wouldn’t bring his wife because she was bound to suffer judgment from the family.
And, if Lisa was smart enough, she wouldn’t appear either because there were so many eyes on her.
But, everyone’s assumptions were wrong. Especially when Luke’s car drove into the driveway of the Lu Family home and everyone watched as Luke walked around to the passenger seat to let Lisa out. Some people sighed that Lisa wasn’t smart enough and some people cheered because they were in for a good show.
As soon as Lisa stepped out of the car, she sensed the sharp gazes that were placed on her. It was almost like they were shooting lasers from their eyes and trying to see through her. Obviously, Mother Lu had applied a lot of work on these people.
Of course, all of this was within expectations. If Lisa was scared, then she wouldn’t be Luke’s wife and Emma’s assistant!
Meanwhile, Luke also understood what these supposed relatives were thinking. So, he allowed Lisa to hook onto his arm and the two of them approached the home without any hesitation.
“Why’s everyone standing around the doorway? Are you here to welcome us?”
Mother Lu glanced at Luke. She couldn’t believe that he had actually brought Lisa.
“Luke, this isn’t right. Back when you registered your marriage, you did it without telling any of us. Now, you’ve already got two children. Isn’t it time you introduce your wife to us?” a cousin asked as she looked at Lisa and raised her eyebrows provokingly.
“This is Lisa, my wife,” Luke smiled handsomely as he pointed to Lisa.
