After everything was settled, Long Jie dressed herself up at home. Apart from Lu Che, she had no one else to rely on at the Lu Family home.
But, so what if she had a wealthy family and a powerful background?
Without her husband's love, all of this was useless and meaningless.
So, all she needed was Lu Che and that was enough.
Standing in front of the mirror, Long Jie was dressed in a long black dress. Although she didn't have a perfect figure like Tangning, her presence was like that of a queen. After following Tangning for so many years, she had already become a rich woman. So, when it came to dressing up, she didn't treat herself too harshly.
After all, when she was going out with Tangning, she had to match her status!
After coaxing his daughter to sleep, Lu Che hugged Long Jie from behind. At this moment, he was dressed in his usual black suit and pants; there wasn't much difference. After all, he had been with Mo Ting for so many years and had developed a professional habit.
"Is our daughter asleep?"
"Yes, after we leave, our neighbor, Auntie Qiu, will come over and help us take care of her. Don't worry," Lu Che whispered into Long Jie's ear.
"In that case … I'm ready. Let's go."
"Wait," Lu Che said as he pulled out a box from his pocket and opened it in front of Long Jie. Inside was a neatly placed diamond ring in the shape of a crown. Long Jie was a little surprised.
"This is?"
"After being married for so long, I don't think I've bought you much." Lu Che removed the ring from the box and gently slid it onto Long Jie's finger. "Tonight, you may hear a few rumors. But, don't be afraid, I'm here …"
"I've already prepared myself to face the Lu Family. Do you think I'm a pushover?" Long Jie replied. She knew that Lu Che had suffered the most from the beginning. He had been stuck between his wife and mother and had been forced to make all sorts of choices. Didn't her heart ache?
Lu Che nodded his head, placed Long Jie's hand in the crook of his arm and headed towards the battlefield …
…
However, over the past few days, because of Long Jie's frequent appearances on the entertainment news, Mother Lu felt a little embarrassed in front of her friends and family.
Although, from the beginning, she had tried her best to act like a lady from a wealthy family and did not look down on Long Jie's background and occupation. After all, her own son was also in the same industry. So, she tried her best to accept Long Jie as she didn't understand her and didn't interfere. But, now that friends and family were discussing Long Jie in private and she had always been biased against Long Jie, everyone talking about Long Jie was especially irritating to her...
Luckily, she had a 'grandson' to comfort her.
After all, the birth of the child couldn't be revealed in public. So, Mother Lu told her friends and family that Lu Che's ex-girlfriend gave birth to the child.
Lu's relatives weren't stupid, right?
Lu Che and Long Jie had been married for so long, yet their child was only 100 days old. Wasn't this indirectly implying that Lu Che cheated on his wife and was a jerk?
Lu Che and Long Jie had been married for so long, yet their child was only a hundred days old. Didn't they indirectly say that Lu Che cheated on his wife and was a jerk?
After Father Lu heard this, he was furious as he dragged Mother Lu into the waiting room, "I've never seen a mother like you. Lu Che has always been clean. Why are you making him sound so bad?"
"I told you a long time ago that it doesn't matter if Lu Che and Xiao Man have a second child or if they have a son. But, you insisted on forcing it. Now that the child has been born, everyone is avoiding it and trying to cover it up. Yet, you even held a hundred days celebration for your child. Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough?"
"Hmmph!" Mother Lu humphed and retorted. "Back then, when I asked Lu Che to have a son, you didn't stand on my side. Later, when I asked Lu Che to break up with that woman, you didn't stand on my side either. Now that we have a child, I want to give my grandson a proper identity. Yet, you still don't stand on my side. Whose husband are you?"
After hearing this, Father Lu held his forehead in his hand, "I can't even communicate with you!"
"I already have a grandson, so of course I have to give him a proper name. I can't let him act like a mouse and be talked about by others. I naturally have to give him a proper identity. As for Che 'er, I will only say that it was that bitch who stole his love and forced Che' er to break up with his ex-girlfriend to marry her."
Father Lu froze for a moment …
He couldn't understand why a perfectly fine family would end up like this!
"Do whatever you want. I can't do anything about it."
After speaking, Father Lu stormed out of the waiting room, leaving Mother Lu to sneer, "Why are you pretending to be serious? You're obviously happy to have a grandson."
Afterwards, Mother Lu tidied up a little before she left the waiting room and continued to mingle with the guests …
Lu Che never imagined that his own mother would ruin his image in such a way. Although he appeared nonchalant on the surface, Long Jie knew how it felt to be hurt by the person closest to him.
That night, the Lu Family Home was decorated luxuriously. Although they did not invite outsiders and only invited members of the Lu Family to the banquet, such a large family, there were at least a few dozen people present. On top of that, they were here to watch a good show. When all of them gathered together, it was quite a scary scene.
Father Lu was the third oldest child in the family. He had two older brothers above him. However, Lu Che rarely mentioned his uncles because he rarely interacted with them and he didn't like them. So, he didn't allow Long Jie to have any proper contact with the relatives. But, little did he know, this would cause Long Jie some trouble.
Because, when Mother Lu's relatives questioned her, she ended up ruining Long Jie's image …
Plus, Long Jie was from the entertainment industry and she had been in the news recently. As a result, the Lu Family's impression of her worsened …
They all thought that Lu Che must have lost his mind to have married an actress like her …
At this moment, Lu Che and Long Jie's car was on the way.
"Your relatives are all here … but, after we registered our marriage, I don't think we've officially met them."
The couple got married in a low-key manner without holding a grand wedding. Afterwards, because of the child, they were tormented for a long time before they finally gave birth to a daughter!
Perhaps, even Lu Che didn't know that when he first told Mother Lu that he wanted Ding Ke, it was the fuse that ignited everything!
So, they did not formally introduce their daughter-in-law to their relatives.
Afterwards, when Long Jie gave birth to a daughter, Mother Lu's dissatisfaction towards Long Jie intensified!
