Lu Jinchong revealed a delighted expression and teased,""You're an ugly daughter-in-law, and you're still afraid of meeting your in-laws?”
Tang Ningzi could still think of bringing gifts for his mother and trying to please her. Just thinking about this made Lu Jinchong jump with joy.
"You're the ugly wife." Tang Ningzi rolled her eyes at him and said sadly,""It's not good to meet an elder for the first time empty-handed. Didn't you bring two bottles of wine and a few dishes for my parents? This is the most basic etiquette. It's all your fault for rushing me out and forgetting such an important thing.”
"Yes, it's my fault. So as compensation, I've already prepared a gift for you.”Lu Jinchong hurriedly smiled and apologized, even winking at her slyly.
"You've already prepared a gift?" Tang Ningzi was surprised. Where is it?"
Lu Jinchong opened the car door and got out of the car. He took out a bouquet of flowers from the trunk and placed it in Tang Ningzi's arms.
"This is the gift you prepared? It's too simple!" Tang Ningzi was speechless.
Lu Jinchong said nonchalantly," My mother doesn't have anything. She might not like jewelry from you. She's more interested in flowers." She likes this."
Tang Ningzi pursed her lips. After all, a son understood his mother the best, so she accepted the flowers.
The two of them went in together. When the servant saw Lu Jinchong, she immediately greeted him respectfully.”
The Lu Family was indeed a century-old family. Even Tang Ningzi, who was used to seeing ancient scenery, couldn't help but be shocked by the Lu Family's imposing manner.
The house still retained the layout of a hundred years ago, but it did not look depressed at all. Instead, it seemed to have been baptized by the years.
Coming to such a place, he couldn't help but feel a sense of reverence. Those small emotions and thoughts that he had before became so insignificant in the atmosphere of a century-old aristocratic family.
Lu Jinchong noticed the change in her expression. He smiled and asked,""Why are you suddenly so serious? I'm really not used to seeing you like this.”
"Look at you. You're a noble young master from a prestigious family. Why haven't you been nurtured to be noble at all?”Tang Ningzi was affected by the heavy atmosphere. When she saw Lu Jinchong's arrogant expression, she couldn't help but frown.
"Then you're wrong. Your husband has a lot of nobility on him. It's just that you haven't noticed it yet.”Lu Jinchong laughed and hugged her shoulders, defending himself.
His frivolous actions made Tang Ningzi unhappy. She frowned and was about to shake his arm off when she heard a cold and authoritative voice.
"I'm back."
Tang Ningzi was so frightened that she immediately stood up straight and looked ahead.
Mrs. Lu was wearing a dark green cheongsam as she walked over leisurely. Beside her was a servant girl. On the other side was a woman who was slightly gentler than her and also wore a cheongsam.
Lu Jinchong let go of Tang Ningzi's shoulder and smiled at Mrs. Lu,""Mom, I brought Ning-Ning home."
Mrs. Lu nodded lightly and looked at Tang Ningzi coldly.
Tang Ningzi straightened her back. She had never seen Mrs. Lu before. It was said that ever since Lu Jinchong's father passed away, Mrs. Lu had been hiding in the shadows and rarely appeared outside.
Moreover, with her status, it was unlikely for her to meet someone like Mrs. Lu. Now that she saw him, she finally realized who Lu Jinchong looked like. No wonder he was so imposing when he smiled. He was a complete replica of his mother.
It seemed that this was a difficult mother-in-law to get along with.
Tang Ningzi smiled and nodded in greeting. She then handed the bouquet of flowers to the servant beside her, but she was secretly commenting on it.
Sure enough, Mrs. Lu looked at her and said indifferently,"It's good that you're here. I didn't even get to eat a cup of your wedding wine. I'm not qualified as a mother.”
"It's our fault." Tang Ningzi immediately said.
Mrs. Lu's expression was indifferent. She pointed at the woman beside her and said,"This is your second aunt."
"Jinchong, this Miss Tang is really beautiful," Second Mistress quickly said with a smile. Welcome, come in quickly! Your mother has been looking forward to this for a long time."
Lu Jinchong nodded and held Tang Ningzi's hand as they walked in.
The interior was even more imposing and charming.
Tang Ningzi was a history teacher. She was excited to see the decorations, especially the antiques. She wanted to jump on them and study them.
However, Mrs. Lambert's cold eyes were watching her, so she couldn't move around.
She sat down with Lu Jinchong, feeling a lingering fear.
"I heard that your father is Secretary Tang?" Mrs. Lu said slowly.
"Yes," Tang Ningzi quickly replied.“
Second Mistress smiled faintly and said,"I've seen him on TV a few times. One look and you can tell that he's a clean and honest official." I just didn't expect Jinchong to marry the daughter of the Municipal Party Secretary. Our families are well-matched.”
Mrs. Lu snorted coldly and said sarcastically,"You know he's a clean and honest official just by seeing him a few times?" Your definition of a clean and honest government is too shallow. If the old master was still alive, he would be furious to hear your words.”
The Second Mistress was embarrassed and her expression was a little ugly. She quickly smiled and said,"Yes, sister-in-law is right."
Tang Ningzi's expression turned even uglier. Mrs. Lu's words sounded like she was lecturing the Second Madam. However, as long as one was not a fool, one could tell that she was very dissatisfied with this marriage. She even felt that Tang Ningzi wasn't worthy of Lu Jinchong and even mocked her father.
If it was just her, she wouldn't have cared. However, she couldn't accept the fact that her father was criticizing her.
She opened her mouth and wanted to argue, but Lu Jinchong spoke up instead.""Mom, is it still early for dinner? I'll take Ningning upstairs to see my room first.”
"What's the rush?" "I didn't even get to attend the wedding. Why can't I ask more questions on our first meeting?" Mrs. Lu said unhappily.”
"What's there to ask? What do you want to know about her? You can find a private detective to investigate. I'll take her upstairs first and call us when it's time to eat.”Lu Jinchong smiled, stood up, and left with Tang Ningzi.
Tang Ningzi felt a little awkward and nervous.
She followed Lu Jinchong to his bedroom. Once she closed the door, she said anxiously,""This isn't very good! Your mother will be angry."
"Are you afraid that she will be angry?" Lu Jinchong raised his eyebrows.
Tang Ningzi pursed her lips and said," I promised to try it out with you for a year. Although I don't know if it'll work out well in the end, I have to work hard." If your mother doesn't like me, it's not good. The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has always been a big problem for the Chinese.”
"Then you don't have to worry." "No matter how amiable you are to her, she won't like you," Lu Jinchong said. Therefore, there was no need to waste his energy.”
Surprised, Tang Ningzi blurted out,""Why?" Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:082820187:27PM
