Chapter 212: The Gossip Among Rtives


    Marina does not know how shees out of the bedroom, only that she is humiliated. She is kicked


    out by Rex. Yes, kicked out. She sees the disgusting word in his mind.


    He hates to sleep with her.


    This fact is like pulling her into an icehouse, right at this moment, she just clearly realizes how different


    she is from Lily in Rex’s eyes.


    Is there only her in his eyes?


    Marinaughs. Okay then, let’s see. If her gentleness and patience do not make him change his mind,


    don’t me her for being cruel!


    ….


    By staying back at her home, when Lily wakes up the next day, there is something wrong in her eyes.


    Maybe she has note back for a long time, which makes her feel the bed, which had been hers for


    more than ten years a little ufortable for her now.


    The bed in the Vi is softer than hers. She has been used to it during this half year, and once she


    changes it, she feels ufortable.


    On New Year’s Eve of the year, they should eat together. In addition to her family, there are two uncles


    from her father’s family. Her grandmother has a total of three sons, and Harry ranks the second. Each


    of them brings their rtives and family members, which form arge table of people every year.


    The dinner for New Year’s Eve this year is set in a hotel nearby. It is not particrly big, but quite vivid.


    Since they are quite close, they go to see the dishes and buy the cake on the way.


    “Two days ago, your uncle told me your cousin ising back this year. He has stayed in the UK for


    two years and didn’te back. Not to mention how impressive it is, I heard that he is even admitted to


    the project of Master for Economics over there.” As though thinking of something, Bree shakes her


    head, her tone somewhat helpless, “Your grandma has always preferred your uncle. Once the eldest


    son and eldest grandson are together, she must have burst with joy this year.”


    Lily is aware of Bree’s condition at home for these years. She suffers a lot of grievances when she was


    young. When she is born, her grandma only visited her once. She then pulls her mother’s chapped


    hands andforts her, “Mom, I’m here apanying you, right?”


    “Hmm.” Bree sighs, not wanting her to see the emotion in her eyes, she then turns her head to look out


    the window, “Your father and I have been together for so many years, it doesn’t matter.”


    Lily has no idea what to say tofort her, she could only hold Bree’s hand tightly.


    ……


    At seven in the evening, peoplee to the hotel one after another. Lily waits at the door to greet


    some family members.


    Her eldest uncle and his familyes thetest. In addition to three of them, her cousin, Ricky also


    brings his girlfriend over.


    The girl has a very petite body, which is about one meter six. Even though her facial features are not


    very prominent, her skin is very white, looking quiet yet refreshing and good-looking.


    Lily is a little surprised. However, she kindly wees them into the room. At this point, all the family


    members have arrived. The family banquet officially begins.


    Lily’s grandfather used to be a high school teacher. Thus, he is used to speaking and making a speech.


    He always talks much in the family gathering. The old man is conservative. In the beginning, he was


    very supportive of Lily to studyw. However, after she married, she looked over her work. Thus, the


    old man is disappointed and be more supportive to Ricky.


    Now that he is admitted to the master''s project and brings his girlfriend, he will naturally be happier,


    “Ricky is back this year, also with his girlfriend. Your grandma and I are very happy. Our family is really


    fortunate to have a child like you!”


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    After listening to it, his parents are unable to conceal their happiness and keeps on praising their son,


    making other people a little embarrassed.


    During the banquet, the cups go gaily round. The voice in the room gradually bes louder. Lily is


    always not for getting into the limelight. Thus, she quietly eats in her te.


    Finally, it ising to the end. Bree is getting ready to send out the annual gift to the family. Some of


    them are brought by Rex. He really bought too much that they could not use all of them. Thus, she


    shares it with everyone.


    When it is his eldest uncle’s family turn, Bree takes out a box of caterpir fungus and bird’s nest. At


    first, it is only a good thing, but unexpectedly, her aunty nces at the package, and the expression on


    her face immediately changes. Even though it is a smile, still it is kind of weird, “Yo, these two are


    expensive, aren’t they. The friend of my son used to sell them before, it is said that they are sold in


    grams, more expensive than gold.”


    Bree only knows that good things are not cheap; she does not clearly know the total cost. She is not a


    vanity person, thus, she says honestly, “I don’t know how much it is since it is sent by others. You can


    take them. They are good for your health; for the elderly, too.”


    “Sent by others?” Her aunty rolls her eyes and picks it up, “Who sent it?”


    It can be said that Lily’s marriage to Tim before is impressive. After all, Tim’s family has already


    regarded as ‘rich man’ for themon people. Now that she is divorced, where else can she found


    such good things?”


    She questions it in detail, which makes Bree displeased. However, since it is the New Year, she does


    not show it, but replies perfunctorily, “Lily’s friend.”


    Who knows, her aunty not only does not stop here, instead, there is some sourness in her words, “It


    doesn’t seem like an ordinary rtionship. Lily indeed has ability, she is quite beautiful, even if she is


    divorced, still can find a good man quickly….”


    Lily does not know the purpose of her saying this; maybe she is too straightforward and does not think


    clearly. However, no matter what it is, it does not sound very ufortable.


    Since she enters the door, no one says about the divorce. Everyone consciously or unconsciously


    avoids this sensitive topic. Instead, she makesments while mentioning it, as if it is nothing at all.


    In the past, she can forget it. However, in front of Bree, Lily is a little uneasy. She gently replies, “You’ve


    overpraised me. I can’tpare with Ricky no matter how good I am. He has a sessful degree and


    even has a girlfriend this year. Maybe next year he may n for marriage.”


    Upon hearing this, her aunt immediately covers her mouth andughs out, “Not so fast, it depends on


    how great he can study abroad.”


    Why bring the people here when it is still uncertain?


    Bree has long understood what she is thinking about, and then nces faintly at the young couple,


    “Ricky is also mature now, he should get married soon.”


    “No hurry.” Her aunt’s eyes sweep meaningfully to Lily, “Now, young people get married fast but also


    divorced fast. It has no harm for them to contact more and understand each other. Didn’t you think that


    Lily has a lot of grievances…..”


    Bree’s repressive heart has finally ignited because of this sentence. Even if her child, her daughter has


    a bad life, she can say it. What qualification did she have to crusade against?


    “Sister, I don’t like your words. Why do you think that Lily has been aggravated? Divorce is quite


    common now. It’s a choice made by their own. Moreover, now Lily has a new beginning. Why do you


    upset her?”
