Chapter 87 I Have Lost My Conscience For Someone (2/2)

“Who does she think she is? I won’t marry her even if she is the last woman on earth,” said Hiram Rong.

“Marry into a family with tens of billions of assets? How lucky I am! I won’t be so foolish as to break off the engagement. At worst, I can receive money as part of the divorce settlement,” said Rachel Ruan.

Their great-grandfathers made a pact about their engagement a hundred years ago...

aback. Both his parents were sitting on a sofa in the living room. There were also two cups of tea on the table in front of them. Beside them, there stood an old man who looked like their butler.

Since their marriage, Zed had not employed any housemaid or housekeeper. Only an hourly worker was employed to clean their villa at times. Coincidentally, the worker didn't come to clean because of illness. What should she do now?

Zed's mother's name is Jade Lan. She was born into a rich family. Her upbringing was evident in the elegantly way in which she sat. Jean studied Jade. She was dressed in an unadorned suit. Judging from her ruddy complexion, facial features, and the absence of wrinkles, Jean thought that she looked much younger than her actual age.

Unlike Jean who almost always dressed casually, Jade was dressed impeccably. There was no mistaking that she came from a prestigious family.

Finding that Zed and Jean had returned, she put the teacup down on the table right away, stood, and studied Jean carefully from head to toe.

”Hello, Auntie......” Jean took a step back, as she felt a little embarrassed. Then, she greeted Zed's father, ”Hello, Uncle. ”

”Zed, you've got good taste. This girl looks very pretty and sensible.” Zed's mother nodded satisfactorily with a kind smile.

Jean was a little shocked by what was happening. She had thought the parents of a man like Zed would be hard to please. And yet, they were so different from her expectations. They didn't even have servants to cater to their needs!

Besides, it was very common that mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law quarreled with each other even for trifle matters. And yet, Zed's mother...... behaved totally differently from her expectations.

While Jean was scared about this meeting, Jade seemed more calm. She walked up to Jean slowly and took her hands. Then she turned and spoke seriously to Zed, ”You are not a child anymore. You shall treat your wife well. Do you understand?”

”Mom, why have you come here?”
