Chapter 355: Another one looking for recipes.
Feng Niannian though her sister was joking about denying them the right to stay in her house. So, she refused to leave.
"Ha! let me see what she will do to push me out." She muttered.
Lucy was seething meanwhile, enraged because things had not moved as she expected. "Mom," She stopped her frantic pacing and looked at her mother. "I told you to take it easy. I was very clear with you on this matter. We need to approach it carefully. I was supposed to become closer to brother A Zhe first and then you would bring up the marriage."
Feng Niannian gulped angrily and raised her voice. "How was I supposed to take it easy when I saw the entire Jun family there with my sister and Jingzhe fitting in as if they are part of them?
Jingzhe calls Lady Chi mother-in-law. That little spoiled brat Mingzhu calls Jingzhe daddy. Three times, when Jingzhe was talking about Jun Meilin, he called her his wife and nobody corrected him or blinked. It is like they have all accepted that the two of them will end up married sooner or later."
She stopped her relentless tirade when a cough ambushed her. Feng Niannian clutched her chest, eyes watering and she heaved harshly.
Lucy went to find some glasses and water, but the kitchen was locked with an electronic lock, as was every door to every room in the house. She returned without water and an even angrier expression on her face.
"Mom, aunt is really cruel. The kitchen and the rooms next to it are all locked electronically and require a password. Even if we want to stay, we cannot do so because this living room might be the only available place."
Feng Niannian had managed to calm herself, although her throat was dry. She did have cough drops in her bag so she got one and put it on her tongue.
Lucy could not sit. Anxiety would not allow her to do so and this led to renewed nervous pacing. "What are we going to do now? What if aunt refuses to marry me to Jingzhe? Mom...he is handsome, a billionaire and works for the royal family. How can I lose such a man?" She clenched her fists.
They had tried to interact with the royals and nobles at the breakfast but most of them had offered cold attitudes and brief stiff smiles.
Even the children had been the same way.
