Chapter 39
\nCome on Daddy (Bright and Rose) novel Chapter 39<\/p>\n
The Lee family\u2019s house, situated in the south of the city, was an ancient Chinese mansion built with blocks and tires, covered with green vines, displaying a plain and dignified style and a historical touch.<\/p>\n
Judging from its location and its history, it was indeed priceless.<\/p>\n
Seeing the exquisitely-decorated expensive carpet, Rose didn\u2019t dare to step on it.<\/p>\n
During her hesitation, Bright grabbed her hand which was holding the bag and walked inside the living room.<\/p>\n
The clean and polished carpet under the feet was very comfortable, the interior decoration of the house was not as nouveau riche as she thought before, but was both refined in details and elegant in style, those flower pots displayed everywhere seemed refreshing in its way.<\/p>\n
The furniture inside was decorated with Chinese carved patterns, the flowers and birds engraved on it were so vivid and lively. Lots of expensive Chinese paintings and calligraphy could be seen everywhere, showcasing a significant implication and style.<\/p>\n
She had heard that the Lee family was a family of the Confucian culture a hundred years ago, all the family members were highly educated and more cultivated than the nouveau riche nowadays.<\/p>\n
It was quite a shock to witness.<\/p>\n
How come such refined and cultured temperament was absent on Bright Lee that she could only notice the hooligan temperament on him?<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease have a seat.\u201d Bright invited her.<\/p>\n
Rose smiled but she didn\u2019t dare to sit on such antique, what if she accidentally broke it, she could not pay for the damage even if she sold herself.<\/p>\n
\u201cAren\u2019t you fearless? Look how my house has scared you?\u201d Bright saw that Rose was standing upright and her body even looked a little stiff.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not afraid, it\u2019s just I\u2019m nervous seeing your parents the first time.\u201d Rose tried her best to relax and lowered her voice, \u201cAnd I\u2019m also the fake daughter-in-law.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat is fake and what is real?\u201d Bright raised his thick eyebrow and a faint smile appeared on his face, \u201cThe one standing here is real.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rose stared at him, \u201cIt\u2019s easy for you to say.\u201d<\/p>\n
A server brought two cups of tea to them, \u201cMr. Lee, Mrs. Lee, please have a cup of tea.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThanks.\u201d Rose said.<\/p>\n
What Mrs. Bright, it was bullshit.<\/p>\n
She was like Cinderella in the fairytale, at twelve o\u2019clock this beautiful princess would become Cinderella again.<\/p>\n
\u201cHere you come.\u201d A gentle and loving sound was heard.<\/p>\n
Then a graceful and elegant woman with a classical face and refined and beautiful eyes appeared.<\/p>\n
She had set her hair up and was wearing a dark green Chinese dress, cheongsam, which showcased her good figure and her posture, delicate and sophisticated as a woman from the south of China.<\/p>\n
She walked over with a smile on her face, \u201cBright, your father was writing and he will come down soon.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHmm.\u201d Bright replied perfunctorily without lifting his eyes.<\/p>\n
The woman looked very young, around her 40s, and she certainly didn\u2019t look like his mother but Rose didn\u2019t know whether she was his sister or some family friend.<\/p>\n
Rose didn\u2019t know how to address her so she looked towards Bright, hoping he could give her some hints.<\/p>\n
\u201cHello, I\u2019m Hallie Hill, wife of Bright\u2019s father.\u201d Hallie noticed Rose\u2019s uncertainty and introduced herself first, \u201cPlease have a seat, make yourself at home.\u201d<\/p>\n
So she was Bright\u2019s stepmother, how beautiful, elegant, nice and gentle she was, nothing like those arrogant wives in the rich family.<\/p>\n
The way she dressed and talked was decent enough without being pretentious, and she was even acting a little bit nervous from shyness, seem real and natural.<\/p>\n
\u201cDad, hasn\u2019t I brought her home now? It was better than never, right? Don\u2019t be too demanding.\u201d Bright was about to sit next to Rose when he finished speaking.<\/p>\n
\u201cI told you to stand, didn\u2019t you hear me?\u201d Francis was furious, \u201cOr else I\u2019ll break your leg.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t yell with such a loud voice, this is the first time Rose comes, you will scare her and she might not come again.\u201d Hallie patted gently on Francis\u2019s shoulder, and passed him the tea, \u201cHere, take a sip, and cool down.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t you speak in his favor, see how you spoil him.\u201d Francis pushed the cup of tea away, \u201cWeren\u2019t it not reported in the news, I suppose you would never bring Rose back home for us to see in this life time?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t say that.\u201d Bright denied.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut you obviously had thought about that.\u201d Francis reached out a finger and pointed at Bright\u2019s breast.<\/p>\n
\u201cDad, can you read my mind? how do you know what I think?\u201d Bright started to think his dad was being unreasonable, \u201cDad, how long are you planning to be angry with me, seriously, don\u2019t scare your daughter-in-law. You will need to deal with the consequences if you do.\u201d<\/p>\n
Francis glanced at Rose with a bit worry and subdued some of his anger, \u201cRose, don\u2019t take me wrong. It was my son who didn\u2019t bring you home, not that Hallie and I don\u2019t want to meet you. Please don\u2019t be mad with us, if you are to be mad, be mad at him!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDad, why do you ask your daughter-in-law to be mad at me? You should ask her to treat me well\u2026\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShut up!\u201d Bright was interrupted by his father.<\/p>\n
Seeing how Bright was scolded by his father, Rose was so surprised and it was actually kind of fun to see them argue.<\/p>\n
The Lee family was the most famous among the famous families but the Lee family was nothing arrogant and they were all nice and gentle without looking down upon her.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat do you mean by dealing with the consequences?\u201d Francis recalled, \u201cIs Rose pregnant?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1008","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/touchgame.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1008","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/touchgame.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/touchgame.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/touchgame.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1008"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
