Chapter 143 Time of Changes 5 (1/2)

Seeing that Jake still did not understand why even after so many indirect Jenny just sighed, she did not want to say it directly because it was one more thing about her parents, but she saw that she would have to speak more directly.

”Jake, my parents are quite relaxed with me, they do not care much about whom I date and do not control my life much, but what happened to my brother was a big shock to them.”

”They trusted my brother a lot and we're sure that everything would happen the way my brother would be the perfect heir to the family name, but you know what happened.”

”Even though they're pretty liberal with whom I date, I've never introduced anyone to my parents, do you know why?”

Jake already understood everything, but he still did not want to believe it, and he wanted to hear everything from Jenny to see if it was true what the last things he said so far were true.

”The reason is that my parents think that when I introduce someone at home, these people can be my future husband, and so they evaluate more seriously the person I am and depending on what they are they may even have this relationship ended.”

”Before I never had someone very serious that I dated so you would be the first, I do not know if I love you, but I really like you.”

”But my parents have already told me that I can only marry a man who comes from a good-name family or a man who has a good position in a company like my father.”

”I know you intend to be a professional basketball player in the future, even if you make a lot of money, my parents would never accept that I should marry you, they think about my future and stability in the first place.”

”That's why I thought we could wait until after college after you graduate you can change your mind about being a basketball player.”

After hearing all that Jenny said he felt a little powerless, Jake was dismayed by all this, he had seen it several times on television but never thought it could happen in real life.

Jake was sure he wanted to be a basketball professional in the future, he thought of even a running athlete going forward as well, but he could not work in a company every day, not least until he finished his NBA career here more than 20 years maybe.

So the reality of Jenny's family would be impossible for them to be together, Jake was very proud of his mother and loved her very much, but he knew that he came from a poor family so much that his mother worked until she died in her past life.

Jake was no longer poor, he had the sponsorship he received every month and his actions invested, he now had his mother's restaurant, but he did not think it was enough for Jenny's family.

Maybe after another five years when he became a millionaire selling his shares, they would change their minds, but when that happened they would try to convince him all the way to quit his basketball career and work for his company.

And Jake did not want any problem like this, he wanted a family that supported everything he did and not that they tried to convince him to give up his dreams.

Even though Jake wanted to hear what Jenny thought, if she thought differently from her parents and supported Jake in his dream, Jake would take the pressure from her parents to stay with Jenny.

”I wanted to know what you think about it Jenny, do you think the same as your parents?”

”I do not know if I think the same way, but I want to feel safe in the future, maybe you can play basketball until you finish college and then change your mind, I heard Joseph say that his grandfather who has a big company thinks you have a lot of future in the business world.”

”So it may be that after another four years you change your mind after all basketball is not a guaranteed thing, you can always get hurt, so I think we could continue together until you finish university and then we can decide together.”

Seeing that Jake realized that Jenny thought the same way her parents, maybe they thought differently, Jake always thought from the beginning of the dating on the possibility of marriage, but Jenny just wanted to take advantage of now.

And Jake realized that Jenny never supported him in basketball games, so maybe for her, it was just a sport that Jake could do for a few more years.
