Runaway Bride

Chapter 17 What About My Wife?

Johnny Lu didn't say anything, letting Elizabeth Song hold his arm, his lips seemed up.

This woman is more pleasing than before.

The living room in the mansion is more than 100 square meters, not completely designed according to the Ming and Qing dynasties. The designer has ingeniously added some European elements to make the whole living room magnificent but not luxurious.

There were already some guests in the living room, wearing luxurious clothes, sitting together, talking and laughing. After the servant led the two of Johnny and Elizabeth in, the laughter diminished, and in the end there was even no sound.

Johnny wore a dark green military uniform without gloves on his hands, giving people a strong sense of oppression. Elizabeth, who was holding him, wore a dark green ingot collar with diagonal slit cheongsam. The hem of the cheongsam was hand-embroidered with cold plums, giving her a cool color with her fair skin, which matched Johnny especially.

Everyone looked at them with different expressions, but they were more puzzled.

As a family of warlords, the Lu family is powerful and financially rich. The average celebrity is still not able to climb. People originally thought that Johnny would find a right person who is matched for his identity, but they did not expect that he married the daughter of an admiral, which is still the one with a bad reputation.

Although they are relatives of the Lu family, no one dare to say, after all, Johnny's temperament is there, and they fear him from their bones.

In silence, a lady wearing a navy blue drop collar cheongsam and a pearl necklace came over. She was well maintained and looked like she was in her early twenties.

The lady was smiling and her voice was gentle and delicate, "Johnny, I haven't seen you back for a long time."

"I have married, if I come back often, what to do with my wife?" Johnny said, his voice was dull and cold, "If you marry the Lu family but my dad often does not come back, you will be wronged."

The lady heard the sarcasm in his words, her face was so pale that she felt embarrassed.

While Elizabeth called out obediently, "Second Madam."

She has never been to the Lu Mansion, but she heard that Zhiyi Lu has two wives. The eldest lady's dress is simple, while the second wife likes pearls. This is probably the second wife Congrong Qiu.

Congrong nodded, her face finally improved, and she took them to the living room.

Men and women sit at separate tables.

Over there, as soon as Johnny sat down, the other men of the Lu family went up to greet him carefully, and while talking, Elizabeth sat with the other female relatives of the Lu family.

However, her arrival seemed out of place, and the female relatives didn't want to talk to her at all. They formed a few factions of their own. Some even looked at her with deep contempt and disdain.

Elizabeth pursed her lips.

The reason is that her father is just an admiral, who relied on his father-in-law's retire to go up. He was dozens of grades behind the famous Lu family, but one admiral's daughter married the Lu family's eldest son.

Even if it is her who sees this kind of thing, she also felt unbelievable.

"Jing Yu, when did you meet the eldest young master?" Elizabeth was in a trance, suddenly heard someone calling her name, she looked up.

It was Fen Liu, the wife of the wealthy businessman Jia Su, who was dressed fashionable and smiled.

"I met him when I went to dinner with my Dad." Jingrou Song also told her how Johnny and her eldest sister met, and said immediately, "Later, Brother Johnny invited me to have meals, and we gradually became familiar."

In front of Johnny, she could call him Colonel or something, but in front of so many people, if she called Colonel, it seemed that Johnny treated her badly, and calling his name was too strange. So she had to strike an average. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

"Oh, that's it!" Fen Liu smiled weirdly, and went to talk to Congrong, "Second Madam, I remember that the young master is the childhood sweetheart of the daughter of the Liang family, Miss Liang often comes to the mansion to play. Why..."

Although the words was not finished, it seemed to deliberately make people guess something. ~
