Chapter198 Siblings
Siblings
"Siblings?" Jenny was confused, "Does Luke has any siblings?"
"His uncle's daughter went back from abroad hearing that Luke was getting engaged. She had called
me yesterday.His aunt has a son. Luke also has several uncles and cousins. They are all about the
same age. You will have lots of common topics with them."
The Lu family was a big one and had many branches. Among its descendants,many were
businessmen and politicians. Technically speaking,some relatives were very distant.A lot of them clung
to the Lu family for its fame in Beijing .
Jenny smirked at the thought of it.
Rats leave a sinking ship and the fall of a distinguished family is often overnight. She vaguely knew the
reason why Diana had moved to Xicheng many years ago.She just wanted to stay away from the
political game of the Lu family.
Luke ,on the other hand,was even more insightful. He had almost nothing to do with the Lu family now
except by blood. If a disaster really befell the Lu family, it was none of his business.
Diana looked painful on the plane.She couldn't stand the enormous sound of the plane taking off.
Jenny thought for a while. "Grandma, you might feel better if you try to take a deep breath and
swallow."
Taking her advise, Diana looked much better.Then she signed, "I am too old to take a flight. I’m almost
risking my life on the plane."
"You are in good health, and you will be longevity!"
"Stop lying to me. What’s good for longevity? I just want to be able to experience the birth of my first
great grandson,which would be a relief to me for the rest of my life, or I won’t have the guts to meet my
husband in heaven."
Diana was glad when she looked down and saw Jenny’s bugling belly.
It took more than two hours to fly to Beijing. Diana kept yawning and soon fell asleep. Jenny asked the
flight attendant for a blanket and covered Diana with it. As the plane flew smoothly, she went to the
toilet.When she passed by Luke, he took a look at her, but no talk.
Along the way, she seemed invisible to him. Apart from a few glances at her occasionally,no more
interaction.They had agreed to at least keep up the appearance in front of Diana.But now, everyone
would have the illusion that they were stranger to each other.It was hard to say which of them was
struggling more now.
When they got off, the assistants who had accompanied them along the way pushed their luggage
cart.Jenny stayed around Diana all the time while Luke walked ahead without a word, leaving them
only a back.
Diana frowned and patted the back of Jenny’s hand. "Are you mad with each other?"
Jenny's heart sank and her face stiffened. "No,who told you that?"
"Well,I didn't want to get involved since every couple has their fights. But you know,Luke,despite the
fact that he was in charge of a big company, and was very mature in doing business, he has no talent
in being a good lover. If he ever hurts your heart, just tell me. I will teach him a lesson."
"Don’t worry, grandma.We are fine. Just enjoy your staying in Beijing."
Jenny smiled politely and refused to add further comments.
No one could tackle the problem between her and Luke.
Of course, it was not an easy thing to fool Diana. Frowning at the cold back in front of them,Diana
shouted, "Bastard, why are you walking so fast?Even if you don't care about the old guy,you don’t care
about your wife and son either? Do you have any conscience?"
Luke's back stiffened.He stopped and slowly turned around.Indifferently glancing at Jenny, he said in a
deep voice, "I'll go to the door first to see if the car has arrived.”
"What are your assistants for?"With her arms akimbo, Diana really looked like the patriarch's wife of a
big family. "I only come to Beijing for a few years. Is it possible that your father haven’t asked someone
to pick me up?"
Luke frowned but not have even a word to answer back.
"I’ll hold you."
"Just hold your wife." Rolling her eyes,Diana withdrew her hand from Jenny, and stood aside in good
spirits.
Jenny looked up at Diana. "No, I can... do it myself."
"Let's go." Feeling a force on her arm, Jenny looked back and was surprised to see that Luke was
holding her shoulder.
Diana had took much effort to fix Luck up with Jenny.
Just out of the exit, a silvery laughter arrived from far away before they had reached the front door .
"Luke! Here!Here! "
Before Jenny could recognize who it was, the hand holding her suddenly let go,for Luke was bumped
by the sound rashly coming .
Looking at the reckless young girl who had crashed into Luke's arms,Jenny was at a loss.
The girl looked about 16 or 17 years old, dressed in western style---a large silver ring on one ear,a
loose hollow T-shirt with black lace and a revealed belly in winter. She wore a pair of ripped jeans and a
baggy olive-green coat which was a popular batwing jacket in the so-called BF style.
She gave others the impression of an enthusiastic cool girl .
Beijing in early spring was even several degrees lower than Xicheng. Her outfit made others shiver just
by a glance. Young girls are just energetic whose bodies are fireplaces themselves.
"Luke, you know how much I care about you?When I got the news that you were going to get engaged,
I immediately gave up my plan of traveling around the world and flew back from Morocco with my mom
. "
"How childish! Let go of Luke at once and say hello to them. "behind came a serious but doting voice of
a woman.
The young girl got out of Luke arms ,first greeted Diana, then she tilted her head for Jenny and spat out
her tongue. "You must be my brother's fiancee."
Jenny was out of words for seconds and looked toward Luke spontaneously.
Without waiting for Luke to speak, the girl held her hand directly. "My name is Doris Lu. Luke's cousin.
Everyone calls me Fish because I like eating fish. You can also call me Fish from now on!"
Jenny nodded. "I'm Jenny Jin. You can call me..."
"Sister-in-law!" With her index finger up,the girl looked at Jenny in excitement. But she hesitated when
the words were spoken out.
"That sounds too old. How about Sister Jenny?"
"Both works for me!" Jenny smiled.
"Hey, I heard that you're an entertainer. Do you sing? Do you like rock 'n 'roll? What's your favorite
band? There's a Beatles concert in Beijing at the end of the month. Would you like to come with me? "
"That’s enough. I just asked you to say hello,not chatter." The woman who had been following Fish
interrupted her impatiently.
"Oh, my big sister is getting jealous!" Spitting out her tongue, Fish took Jenny’s hand and walked
towards Amber Lu. "This is my uncle’s daughter,also Luke’s cousin-- Amber Lu. She is the eldest sister
of the Lu family. Still single. Unbelievable,right?"
