After three years of misplaced affection, Mrs. Yu is no longer willing to pretend to be obedient.
Chapter 120 Call Your Husband
Jane eventually moved back to her own home.
She came up with a very lame excuse, saying that Yu Yunting was going to Germany on a business trip for a month, and she didn't want to be alone in Yunsong Bay, so she came back to stay for a few days.
Wang Shuqin and Jian Hui didn't ask any further questions and readily agreed to her suggestion.
Perhaps her parents had already sensed something, but they both tacitly remained silent, and neither of them took the initiative to ask about her married life.
However, her parents don't have much time to manage her right now; they're busy preparing for Jason's engagement ceremony with his blind date. Jane Ailing has also promised Jason that she'll take care of the photography for his engagement and wedding.
"This engagement party won't be too grand. It'll just be a meal for relatives from both families. There's no need for any photography," Wang Shuqin said with a smile, waving her hand. "But Han Jia will be coming to our house for dinner tomorrow. You haven't met her before, so this is a good opportunity for you to meet her."
"Okay." Jian Ailing nodded with a smile. "Should I prepare a gift for my sister-in-law?"
"No need, it's just a simple home-cooked meal." Jason shook his head.
"Okay, if you say you don't need it, then you don't need it."
The next day, Jane Ailing finally met her legendary future sister-in-law.
She seemed very lively and outgoing. Even when she came to the Jian family home alone, she wasn't shy or bashful.
However, she had heard from Jane that Han Jia had come here before, but she was never home before.
"You're Jane's sister? Yu Yunting's wife?" Han Jia was also very interested in Jane Ailing. She walked up to Jane Ailing and her eyes followed her every step, circling around her.
"Hello, I'm Han Jia."
Although she didn't show it very obviously, Jane Eyling sensed that she seemed to have a sense of disappointment.
"Hello, Jane Ailing." She raised the corner of her mouth at Han Jia.
"Next week is my engagement party with Jason. You and your brother-in-law will be coming, right?"
"I will definitely come. But as for Yu Yunting... he has to go on a business trip, so I guess he won't be able to come."
"Yes, Jiajia, Ai Ling said before that Yun Ting went to Germany on a business trip and might not be able to come," Wang Shuqin chimed in.
"That can't be right," Han Jia frowned. "My dad just saw him at a banquet a couple of days ago."
Jian Ailing and Wang Shuqin exchanged a glance, both feeling somewhat awkward.
"Yunting is usually very busy with his schedule. I'll try to ask him, but he might not be able to make it," Jian Ailing said with a forced smile.
"Ailing, why don't you sit with Jiajia for a while? I have some things to take care of here," Wang Shuqin said and left. Jian Ailing realized that Jian Sen was nowhere to be seen either, leaving only herself and Han Jia by the sofa.
"What... my wife's brother's engagement party, isn't that an important occasion too?" Han Jia muttered softly, "Does it have to be so busy?"
Jane Ailing didn't know what to say, so she could only smile awkwardly.
It seems that her future sister-in-law has never heard of her bad reputation and dark history.
Let alone now that she's about to divorce Yu Yunting, even before they were divorced, she couldn't get him to cooperate.
"Actually, a lot of uncles and aunts wanted to introduce me to potential partners, but my dad refused them all." Han Jia said casually, as if joking. "Later, my dad thought your family was nice, so he let me meet Jian Sen. But... your brother is quite my type."
"That's good, congratulations. Not everyone can fall in love with their blind date."
"Hmm..." Han Jia nodded in deep agreement, "But don't you want to ask why my dad thinks your family is nice?"
"Isn't it because your family is a business partner of Chaoyuan?" Jian Ailing had heard Jian Sen mention before that the Han family and Chaoyuan had a cooperative relationship, so their blind date was somewhat of a business marriage.
"That's part of the reason, but not entirely," Han Jia said, as if keeping someone in suspense.
"I can't guess. Why don't you just tell me?"
"It's because of you." Han Jia blinked at her. "Because you are Yu Yunting's wife, the Yu family's daughter-in-law."
Jane Ailing's smile froze unconsciously.
"So, your appearance and Yu Yunting's presence are crucial to our engagement banquet. Could you try to talk to your husband and ask him to come and have a meal with us?" Han Jia leaned closer to Jian Ailing, her voice filled with anticipation.
Jane was a little embarrassed that she hadn't expected her to ask so bluntly, but she still nodded with a forced smile.
Ironically, when she and Yu Yunting were husband and wife, she had to go to great lengths to hide her identity as Mrs. Yu.
She and Yu Yunting are clearly about to get divorced, but she still tries every means to hide it and pretends to be Mrs. Yu here.
Jane Ailing felt that she was indeed in a bad situation.
Aside from that, the dinner went fairly smoothly.
Jane Ailing could tell that Jane Sen and Han Jia seemed to be getting along well, and her brother no longer seemed as melancholy and unwilling as before.
Although they met through a blind date, they at least got along quite well.
Now that they've come this far, does it really matter whether Yu Yunting comes to the engagement party or not?
"Mom, brother... Han Jia seems to really want Yu Yunting to attend the engagement party. But... he's been very busy lately, and I'm not sure if he'll have time." After seeing Han Jia off, Jian Ailing thought it over and decided to say hello to Wang Shuqin and Jian Sen first.
"Well... he's not the main character of the banquet, does it really matter whether he comes or not?" Jane Ailing looked at Jane Sen, "I think my brother is the main character."
"It's alright." Jensen smiled and shook his head nonchalantly. "It's okay if he doesn't come. Let him go and do his work."
"Yes. If Yunting is really busy, then don't force it. Ai Ling, you don't need to beg him either," Wang Shuqin chimed in. "It's our family that's engaged to the Han family, it has nothing to do with the Yu family."
"Um……"
She guessed they must have sensed something, but everyone was avoiding the topic.
Jane Ailing didn't want to bring up the matter with them for the time being. After all, they weren't officially divorced yet, and bringing it up too early might cause unnecessary trouble.
But for some reason, her family's thoughtfulness made her feel a strange sense of guilt.
If they force her to bring Yu Yunting over, it might provoke her rebelliousness and make her want to go against her family.
But now that they are being so considerate, even telling her not to force herself, Jian Ailing is caught off guard.
That night, Jane Ailing sat by the window, holding her phone, lost in thought for a long time.
If she really called him, would Yu Yunting mock her again, saying she was faking it? They could have gone through the divorce proceedings in two weeks, yet she still wanted him to play along, still clinging to the Yu family's identity.
Fine, I'll just call him and ask. If he really refuses, I'll just tell him the truth.
At least she tried.
Jane unlocked her phone, found his number, and pressed the dial button.
