Grace's parents came out very quickly because some parents had reported that it had a bad influence on the students.[Hello,may I ask who you are?]
Grace didn't look like either her mother or her father.I couldn't help but wonder if Grace was really their biological daughter.
I didn't speak.The matchmaker I hired at a high price smiled and greeted them.
[Congratulations to you two.Luna is here to propose marriage today.]
[Propose marriage?]Grace's mother's face changed several times,and then she took the matchmaker's hand and asked,[For whom?]
This time,I didn't let the matchmaker speak.I stepped forward and pointed to the banner being held up for the two of them.
[Ms.Smith is pregnant with my husband's child.I'm a Buddhist,and I don't dare to be responsible for a life.]
[After thinking about it,I can only take Ms.Smith as a concubine for my husband.I wonder what you two think?]Grace's mother pulled a long face and said,[Are you saying that Grace is a mistress?]
I squinted my eyes and smiled happily,as if it wasn't my husband who was having an affair.[Auntie,why use such harsh words?Ms.Smith and my husband are in true love.]
[And wasn't it with such intentions that you arranged for Ms.Smith to work in our company?]I put away the smile on my face.My fake smile made my face really stiff.Grace's mother's face showed a moment of panic and quickly adjusted.
Grace's father didn't say a word throughout,but his face didn't look good either.[Uncle and auntie,if you have time,why don't we talk about the betrothal gifts?]
[Actually,I've already prepared something on my side,but I don't know if you have any special requirements.]
Just when I thought the two of them were going to call Grace,Grace's father spoke up.[What's your intention for coming here today,Luna?]His eyes stared at me intently,with a hint of caution in his eyes.
I didn't speak and just looked at them quietly,then pointed to the time on my phone.It was almost the time for school to end at noon.
I thought they,as parents,wouldn't understand the principle that family ugliness should not be made public.I wasn't afraid to make a big fuss about it,it was up to them.
