Chapter 106 Inquiry
Chapter 106 Inquiry
After the tin boxes being taken away, Jenny looks at the trunk for a moment and hesitates. She picks
up a still intact box, pats the dust on it, and looks into it through the gap. Most of the cakes are crushed,
but they are edible.
She sighs helplessly and blows on the paper box deciding to keep it for herself.
After entering the Flower House, she hears the sounds of greetings.
“Grandma, these are supplements I brought you from abroad and they are good for your health.”
“…”
“I spent a long time choosing this scarf and perfume, which is classic. You will look good with it.”
“…”
“And this one..."
“…”
Sky keeps introducing her gifts to Mrs. Lu like silk scarves and other small objects. Somehow, Mrs. Lu
feels a little impatient.
Sky is the granddaughter of her only good friend, and the only granddaughter of her husband’s best
comrade in army. When Sky was a kid, she was a lovely little girl. Mrs. Lu has witnessed her growing Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
up. Since the grandpa of the Song grew old and the country allowed him to go abroad to reunite with
his children, Sky followed him. And then the frequency of meeting each other in recent years gets less.
But the girl is still kind and warm. Every time they meet, she will bring a lot of gifts which are for all
family members. Regardless of the price and the size of the gift, the most important thing is her good
will. Now she is of good manner.
Mrs. Lu pats Sky’s hand and says with a smile, “Thank you. It is ready for dinner. Show me these
things after dinner.”
Sky’s smile id particularly gentle, “OK, grandma, all listen to you.”
With a box of broken cakes in hand, Jenny doesn't wants grandmother to see her in a mess. She slips
carefully from the porch to the living room, ready to go upstairs first. Unexpectedly, Harley, who doesn’t
know her intention, calls out when she sees her.
“Jenny, it is time for dinner. Where are you going?”
When Mrs. Lu hears this, her impatience disappears immediately. She leaves Sky and walks towards
Jenny.
“Oh, my baby girl has come back. It’s been a long time since you are here. I miss you so much!”
Jenny touches the back of her head, feeling a little embarrassed, “grandma...”
“What’s in your hand?”
“I originally wanted to bring these cakes to you, but they were broken carelessly. I'm going to keep
them by myself and buy you a new one tomorrow.”
“Broken?” Grandma’s sights stop on the red paper box which looks bad. She opens the box and takes
out half a piece of mung bean cake from inside, “let me see.”
“This piece is the most intact one. The rest is broken.”
Jenny feels upset.
Grandma puts the half of the mung bean cake in her mouth, chews it for a while and then says with joy,
“ it tastes good. I like it. Why don’t you give it to me earlier, you are a mean girl...”
“Grandma...”
“Well, I don’t care what you’re going to bring me tomorrow. Today, this cake is mine. No one can take it
away from me.”
“But it’s all broken.”
Jenny is a little embarrassed.
It’s not good to send broken things to others.
On hearing this, grandma’s face changes slightly, and she pretends to be little angry and responds, “we
are a family and do not need to worry about the details too much. I tasted it. It’s delicious. If you don’t
believe me, then.”
She turns to look at the living room and waves to Luke, “Luke, please come and have a taste, and see
if it’s delicious...”
Luke stands by the side of Sky. As soon as he puts down the gift Sky has given him, he walks over.
Sky knows Luke best. He is very choosy about all aspects. He will never eat this kind of cake without
knowing its brand. However, because of grandma, he will eat it. Sky wants to help him out.
“Grandma, we are going to have dinner. Don’t let Luke eat it. Let’s get ready for dinner.”
“There’s no hurry...”
Before Sky finishes, grandma takes a mung bean cake from the paper box and puts it in Luke’s hand,
“have a taste.”
So, in front of everyone, for the first time, Luke eats something directly grasped by his hands. A yellow
cake with no shape falls into his mouth and is chewed carefully
“How does it taste?” Asked grandma.
Since grandma asked Luke to have a taste of it, Jenny is embarrassed. She knows that Luke is very
fastidious. Now he is asked eat it, so she feels guilty.
“Good.”
It is rare to capture a trace of gentleness in his cold voice.
Everyone is relieved, and Harley is the first girl tittering secretly.
“Luke, this is not simply a cake, but your wife’s best wish. No wonder that it tastes delicious.”
Grandma smiles happily too, “it is true. But for this cake, ah, I can only give you once. if you want more,
ask your wife to buy it.”
Jenny blushes, especially when she finds that Luke is looking at her.
Sky stands not far away when hearing these words. She looks surprised, but lowers her head to hide
her emotions quietly.
Dinner is served in the dining room. Because Jenny and Luke comes back together, the cook has
prepared a lot of dishes. In addition, more dishes are added for Sky’s visit. The table is filled with food.
At the dinner table, Sky hesitates for a long time, but still asks what she wants to ask.
“Grandma, you said Jenny is Luke’s wife. Is Jenny married with Luke?”
There is silence for a few seconds at the table, and Jenny pauses and looks up at her.
“Although the wedding hasn’t been held yet, it’s already in preparation. I’ve set the date and got several
sets of wedding dresses back. I'm waiting for them to have a try together, so that I can ask someone to
change the sizes.”
Grandma is very happy, “by the way. After dinner, you can come with us and have a look at Jenny’s
wedding dresses. You have better taste, and you can help them to choose one.”
Sky looks a little stiff, but still tries to maintain polite and gentle. She nods and smiles. Suddenly she
thinks of something, frowns and asks, “why is the wedding prepared in a hurry? I never hear uncle and
aunt mention before. Have they met Jenny yet?”
When it comes it, Jenny’s heart sinks even more.
Grandma only wants to have a grandson and hold a wedding for them. But Jenny cannot. If she really
needs to marry Luke, she has to meet his parents. What she wants to check needs the help of Luke’s
mother, Tracy.
It seems that grandma doesn’t take Sky’s words into serious. She looks at Jenny with a smile, “they
don’t even care about their sons, so there is no need for them to meet Jenny. It is totally enough that
both Luke and I like Jenny. They would not and can not have other opinions.”
This makes Jenny feel warm, but also very struggled.
She secretly looks at Luke, who is sitting beside her. He seems not to be disturbed by their
conversation. He eats and drinks soup slowly, and his Adam’s apple rolls regularly. Every movement
seems to be well planned.
