Chapter 195 An Insurmountable Barrier
Chapter 195 An Insurmountable Barrier
Ignoring me, Nancy walked into the room directly and looked around the house. "I didn't expect that Robbie would give this house to you. You are really a seductress..."
Xenia defended for me, "Isn't this house rented by Robbie to Jasmine?"
Nancy glanced at me with unfriendly eyes. Instead of answering Xenia, she raised her eyebrows and asked me, "Did Robbie say that to you?"
I looked at Rosie. Rosie immediately held Nancy's arms and said to her, "Mom, you asked me to take you to Jasmine. You promised me that you wouldn't make things difficult for Jasmine."
Nancy glared at her unhappily and said "Did I embarrass her? When did you see that I was making things difficult for her? Did I hit her or scold her?"
Rosie rolled her eyes and showed an apologized look to me. She touched Nancy's chest gently, trying to ease her mom's anger. Then she said, "Yes, it's my fault. You're not embarrassing her. Aren't you here to talk about something important? Say it now."
I made a gesture of welcome to Nancy and said, "Aunt, don't stand here. Please sit down and talk with me. I'll make tea for you."
Nancy walked to the sofa and dusted it. Then she clapped her hands back and forth as if her hands were stained with a lot of dust before sitting down reluctantly.
"There's no need to make tea. I don't think you have any good tea here."
I could feel that Xenia was trying to stand up for me again. I immediately pulled her and said, "Then please have a glass of water. Xenia, please help me get a glass of water for my aunt."
Xenia's lips moved slightly. She wanted to say something but stopped on a second thought. She took a deep breath and helped to get the water.
"Aunt, what can I do for you?"
Nancy glared at me and said in a reproachful tone, "Are you pretending to be ignorant? Don't tell me that you didn't know such a big thing."
I lowered my eyes and said, "I'm sorry if I have brought any trouble to you."
Nancy snorted, "What's the point of apologizing? What did you do to my two sons? One cheated on his girlfriend because of you, and the other was cheated by her girlfriend. What's worse, the two of them are entangled with the same woman, as if there are no other women in the world."
Rosie interrupted her, "Mom, what are you talking about? We have already explained to you that nothing happened between my sister-in-law and my brother Robbie, haven't we? Don't you also think it brought shame to the Luo Family for Jasmine to argue with Ron in public? "
"Shut up," said Nancy, glaring at Rosie.
Rosie pressed her lips and stopped talking, looking helpless.
After pausing for a few seconds, Nancy looked at me and said, "Let's be straightforward. Michelle didn't show up when Rogelio was in a coma. As Rogelio's mother, I have no reason to like her. I'm not stupid."
With a glass of water in her hand, Xenia put it on the tea table in front of Nancy. When she heard what Nancy said, she said in a wired tone, "Aunt, you are so wise!"
After glancing at Xenia, Nancy fixed his eyes on me again. "Considering the condition of Rogelio, the reason why I accepted her at that time was that I hoped Rogelio could recover as soon as possible."
"I know how you feel, Auntie."
"I'm glad that Rogelio can dump Nancy by himself."
Then Xenia gave a thumbs up to Nancy and said, "You are a clever woman!"
Nancy's face darkened. She was not satisfied with Xenia's performance.
"But the fact that Rogelio chose you made me not happy at all. You are inferior to Michelle."
Pouting, Xenia rolled her eyes at Nancy.
I didn't say anything, but just let Nancy go on.
Rosie sat next to Nancy and shook her arm. "Mom, we are going to be a family. What are you talking about? Can't you say something helpful for the future harmony of our family?"
Glaring at Rosie, Nancy asked, "A family? What family?"
Rosie became anxious. "Didn't you say that you agreed Jasmine to be with my brother before you came here? Did you change your mind so soon?"
Furrowing her eyebrows, Nancy asked, "Can you bring me here if I don't say that?"
"Mom, what do you mean?"
Nancy pointed at me and said, "She's just a three rate star now and she doesn't have some achievements in her career. However, there are a lot of scandals about her. How dares she still want to be my daughter-in-law? Others don't know what kind of person she used to be. But I know. Her mother is a disgusting woman."
Xenia couldn't stand it anymore. "You are Rosie's mother and I call you Mrs. Qi out of respect. But don't you think your words are too harsh? Jasmine is Jasmine, and her mother is her mother. Besides, what's the big deal of your Luo Family? You just have a lot of money. Now it's your son who continuously pursues Jasmine. We haven't come to you yet and asked you to discipline your son and don't make any trouble for Jasmine. However, it's you who came to blame us first. Your sense of superiority is really absurd."
With a frown, Nancy glanced at Xenia. She was still sitting there, not affected much by what Xenia had said.
Instead, Nancy said to Rosie, "Did you see? This is Jasmine's friend. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together!"
Rosie looked a little embarrassed. She didn't expect that her mum would be like this.
When Xenia was about to speak again, Rosie winked at her and said, "Xenia, don't talk too much."
Xenia listened to Rosie's words and didn't say anything more, but she still rolled her eyes at Nancy.
Nancy continued to say to me, "In case you play dumb with me, I'll be frank with you. I won't allow you to enter the Luo Family. You'd better leave as soon as possible. Of course, if my son temporarily pursue you for fun, I can turn a blind eye to it. But I just want to remind you that when my son gets bored with you, he might abandon you as if you were a worn-out shoe, and there will only be a bad reputation left for you in the future. Don't blame me for not reminding you when you fall into that situation."
Xenia almost flew into rage. "Do you know how to speak human language at such an old age?"
Frowning, Rosie pulled her mother and asked, "Mom, what are you talking about?"Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Nancy looked at Xenia and said, "Little girl, I've put up with you for a while. Jasmine haven't said anything yet. Why are you so anxious? I don't understand."
Looking at me, Xenia said, "Jasmine, say something to her. Tell her that you don't want to marry into the Luo Family..."
