Chapter 78 Felt Bad For Lanie And Rainie "Are you... Luke's girlfriend that he brought to introduce to
US?" Susan asked with tears in her eyes. "How's your family background? If you’re wronged by your
future husband after your marriage, will your family be able to support you?"
Bianca did not know how to answer her.
When Louis introduced himself, he said that he was Luke's half-brother and that they shared the same
dad.
That might mean that the middle-aged woman wearing the Gucci custom- made qipao once shared the
same man with Luke's mother, Allison.
Susan looked at the big family gathered together and walked toward Bianca with the stench of alcohol
on her.
"Be careful." Bianca quickly propped Susan up with agility when she was about to fall.
Susan leaned on the sofa while being supported by Bianca. She frowned uncomfortably and said, "By
the looks of your appearance, I can tell that you probably come from an average family. I advise you to
know better and not to marry into the Crawford family."
"Go back to your room upstairs!" the old man stood up and shouted. He was angry!
"No!" Susan looked at the old man with a ferocious look in her eyes. Every time she got drunk, she
always said the same thing for everyone to hear. She repeated for the nth time, "The person who
should leave is Allison! I'm Zachary's first wife!"
Susan's eyes burned with jealousy as she pointed at Allison. She wanted to humiliate her. "You b*tch!
Who are you trying to fool by sitting there quietly? You're just a go-go girl who sold her body at the club!
I wonder how many guys you've had sex with before you came into the Crawford family. You're lucky
that Zachary was blind enough to not notice the cheap wh*re that you are!"
Bianca glanced at Luke blankly.
Luke sat on the sofa with a calm demeanor. Even though his brows were furrowed unhappily, he did
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtnot try to stop Susan's shenanigans. He merely lit a cigarette, closed his eyes, and took a puff.
Bianca suddenly remembered what he had said to her on the phone previously.
"Don't feel pressured. In terms of our families, I'm actually no better than you. If you look into my family,
we're basically the same." That was what Luke had said to her before.
"Are you sure you want to marry into the Crawford family?" Susan looked at Bianca and persuaded
with all her heart. "My child, the Crawford family is indeed a very famous family in this city. The top of
the top, in fact. But if you marry into this rich family, it's equivalent to walking into an icy cold tomb. Your
husband won't care about you and your relatives won’t sympathize with you either.
"The main point is the mistresses who will be waiting to pounce on your husband. It doesn't matter how
inferior they are, or how low their wages are. Perhaps, it might even be a go-go dancer in the club who
lets men touch her. A man will still take her hand and treat her as his baby. As for US wives, all we can
do is be an honest wife and stay at home. We're expected to be considerate of our husbands having
their gay time outside, and maybe even ask him if he had fun." Toward the end of her speech, Susan
grabbed Bianca's little hand.
"This is getting more and more absurd!" The old man slammed his cane on the ground.
The old man lifted his head and softened his tone when he said to Bianca,' Bea, your aunt has had too
much to drink. Don't take what she says to heart."
Bianca looked at the old man.
"Don't get self-conceited just because of your seniority. Don't you know that you're helping your son’s
mistress discredit your daughter-in-law?" Susan got up and shouted, "A fish rots from the head down!’’
"Mom, if you want to cause trouble, please do it at another time!" Louis was so angry that he bear-
hugged his mother with all his strength and led her toward the stairs.
The nanny was called over to help him. The two of them had to drag and pull her up before Susan was
finally upstairs.
Meanwhile, Bianca, who was downstairs, could still hear the sound of things being thrown upstairs.
After Louis went upstairs, he did not come back down. It was probably because he was worried that his
mother would do something crazy.
Boohoo! Her cries resounded through the manor.
Luke hinted at Bianca to take the two little kids out to play.
A field of flowers was planted at the manor. At dusk, the bees continued to diligently collect their nectar.
Rainie looked at the bees and muttered, "They’re always buzzing. Aunt Bea, do they eat the nectar
immediately after they harvest it?"
Bianca was lost in her head because of everything, so she did not hear what Rainie asked.
"Auntie Bea?" Rainie crouched down and raised her head to ask.
"Yes?" Bianca asked. She finally returned to her senses.
"Aunt Bea, what's a go-go dancer at a club who lets men touch her? Why did Grandma Susan say that
about Grandma?" the little girl asked innocently.
'Grandma Susan was so fierce. She even cried.
'And then Grandma was splashed with red juice on her face by Grandma Susan.'
Rainie did not know who had it worse. 'Poor Grandma or poor Grandma Susan?'
Bianca crouched down and hugged Rainie’s small body. She kissed her on her cheek and said, "If the
adults quarrel, just forget what they say after the fight. Let's count to three. We forget everything after
three, okay?"
’Okay!" Rainie closed her eyes happily and counted. "One, two, three... Aunt Bea, I've forgotten all
about it!"
"You've done well, Rainie." Bianca gave the child a tighter hug. She reached her other free hand
toward Lanie who had been quiet the whole time. "You have to forget too, alright?"
The little guy nodded, but his brows were still tightly furrowed.
Bianca did not feel bad for any of the adults in the room. The only people she felt bad for were the two
little kids in front of her. They should be innocent at this age, but they were stuck listening to a family
who always said horrible words to each other.
Yes, adults had the right to vent, but only at the right time and place.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHaving witnessed the horrible things that happened in a wealthy family, Bianca held the two little kids.
She could not help but wonder how her own kid was doing. She wondered if her kid's family
environment was as unhappy as theirs, or if it was the complete opposite and that her kid was living
happily.
Luke recommended that the family did not eat together for dinner that night.
The old man did not force him to stay but only said that they should find a better time to have their
dinner together.
Luke went outside with his mother, Allison.
"Do you guys want to stay at home or go out with Aunt Bea?" Luke came out and asked the two kids
who still clung tightly onto Bianca.
The four fat paws that clung onto Bianca tightly seemed to have revealed the kids' choice.
"I can't believe that happened while you were here today. I hope it made you laugh. For what it's worth,
I like you very much. By the way, you haven't told me your name. I just know that they call you Bea."
Allison looked like her previous self with her cleaned face and change of clothing. From afar, she
seemed to have returned to her glamorous and elegant old self.
"My name's Bianca Rayne," Bianca replied calmly.
The smile on Allison's face froze in an instant. Her face sank as she confirmed what Bianca said,
"What? Bianca Rayne? Did you say that your
surname is Rayne?" 3
Bianca nodded.
Luke looked at his mother and said in an impatient tone, "What is it? Is there a problem with the
surname Rayne?"
He felt that his mom was talking too much. He was the one she was supposed to spend the rest of her
life with. There was no need for her to humor his weird family members. The act of him bringing her
back to meet them was an act of the highest respect that he could give them.
