Elder Li was enraged because Lena dared to speak to him like that but he did not have anything to reply with because what she said was indeed the truth.
He was a selfish old man... he ruined his son's perfect marriage and turned his own grandson into a monster.
"Lena." Kris finally spoke again. "Are you here to eat? or to talk? Finish your food so we can leave earlier."
Lena relaxed and focused back on her food. She was only able to take a bit before more drama.
"Li Bai, how can you bring such an unmannered woman here today?"
"Mother." Madam Li replied. "Lena is not just any woman, she is the only woman that Kris chose to be with. You should be more accepting considering such a situation turned out well. Probably 1 in 10 million."
"You think she will be able to give Kris a son?" Old Madam Li looked at Lena to have a better glance at her. Sure Lena was pretty, but she was all talk. She had no filter to her mouth.
"Let me remind you, I plan to have more than just one. And who is to say the first one will be a son? Of course, I think Kris wants a daughter so he can have two pretty girls around him, right?"
Kris did not reply.
"...." Elder Li did not say anything too.
"That's not how it works." Old Madam Li spoke.
"Why?" Lena paused and looked around the table. "Is it because the Li family had always had one child."
"...." The old lady had nothing to reply with. How did Lena know so much about their family?
'It could not be that the rumors were worse than it is? Or is she really that close to Kris? It cannot be... it just has to be Li Bai. Kris is not even paying much attention to Lena as one lover should.'
"Don't compare my ability with yours in when it comes to making a child."
"Miss. Shen! Are you not very rude today to your elders?" Nina questioned.
Lena glared at her. "Outsiders should stay away from the family discussion."
Nina opened her mouth in surprise. Did Lena just called her an outsider? She pouted and made a sad face to Old Madam Li.
"You're very rude. You're such bad luck that you killed the first child from your mother's womb." Old Madam finally tries to hit something personal from Lena's life.
Lena looked at the old lady and pause for a bit. Her eyes were angry for a second and then Lena softly smiled.
"Bad luck? Funny, I had always been marked with good blessing since I was born. And I'll be sure you will be hearing these good blessing soon."
Lena pushed her chair back as if to stand up and leave but she did not do that yet. "And in a few years, you'll hear the laughter of our CHILDREN echoing at every corner of your home... and you won't be able to see a single piece of hair from any one of them!"
Lena was basically saying that the old couple were banned from visiting them or their children.
"Blessed? More like a witch. Can't keep the young Yang master with you so you're are taking your chances with my Kris."
'My Kris...? He is mine not yours..' Lena wanted to say but refrained herself.
"How much did he pay you to be his fake girlfriend?"
"You really want to know?" Lena taunted the old lady. "The first week... it was 10 million. It has been almost 6 weeks now? Hopefully you can do the math yourself."
After Lena said that, she stood up from her chair. "I want to leave. We are not welcome here." Lena places a hand over her stomach and had a sad face.
Old madam li opened her mouth a bit. It couldn't be... Lena couldn't be... pregnant already? It's impossible especially since...
Before she could finish her thought, Kris stood up from his chair. He put his arm around Lena waist and gave her peck on her cheek. "Ok. We can go eat something more healthy."
He turned them both around and they walked out.
Unexpectedly, Madam Li also has the same reaction. Except she kind of already made the other assumption that the two were seeing each other... but a baby already?!
The thought was good but just... unexpected so soon.
"Nina... I think you should leave too." The old lady finally spoke after the couple left.
"Okay..."
Nina said her goodbye to the elders and also left. She can't believe that of all people, Kris was with Lena?!
She worked very hard in currying favors for Old Madam Li but it looked like their relationship with Kris was not so good. Should she had went with the mother instead?
Well, she never made a bad impression so he can try again. But she really needed to understand all the conversation from before... she was really like an outsider.
She parked in the back so she did not meet Kris and Lena. Nina grabbed her phone and dialed someone who quickly picked up.
"Hey. I want as much information that you can get me on the Li family. Everything okay?"
"Yes." A voice replied.
"And... everything on Lena Shen too."
While everyone left, the three adults were still in the dining room. Old Madam Li looked at them both.
"Did... did you that see that? Kris... he... and her..." Old madam Li cannot believe that Kris was so touchy with Lena.
"Li bai, is she really pregnant?" She asked.
"I don't know."
"How can you not know?! You brought her here."
"..." madam Li really doesn't know. "She.. she did go to see a doctor just the other day."
The old lady gasped. "Husband. You need to use your connections to see why she went to the hospital."
"Why does that matter, mother? You did not even like her."
"That does not matter. If she pregnant then it's different!"
"...." Madam Li was speechless. This woman... she was never really bright and her husband was a arrogant man... no wonder he ended up with someone like her.
