Chapter 39 Perhaps She was Pregnant?

The Lee family’s house, situated in the south of the city, was an ancient Chinese mansion built with
blocks and tires, covered with green vines, displaying a plain and dignified style and a historical touch.

Judging from its location and its history, it was indeed priceless.

Seeing the exquisitely-decorated expensive carpet, Rose didn’t dare to step on it.

During her hesitation, Bright grabbed her hand which was holding the bag and walked inside the living
room.

The clean and polished carpet under the feet was very comfortable, the interior decoration of the house
was not as nouveau riche as she thought before, but was both refined in details and elegant in style,
those flower pots displayed everywhere seemed refreshing in its way.

The furniture inside was decorated with Chinese carved patterns, the flowers and birds engraved on it
were so vivid and lively. Lots of expensive Chinese paintings and calligraphy could be seen
everywhere, showcasing a significant implication and style.

She had heard that the Lee family was a family of the Confucian culture a hundred years ago, all the
family members were highly educated and more cultivated than the nouveau riche nowadays.

It was quite a shock to witness.

How come such refined and cultured temperament was absent on Bright Lee that she could only notice
the hooligan temperament on him?

“Please have a seat.” Bright invited her.

Rose smiled but she didn’t dare to sit on such antique, what if she accidentally broke it, she could not
pay for the damage even if she sold herself.



“Aren’t you fearless? Look how my house has scared you?” Bright saw that Rose was standing upright
and her body even looked a little stiff.

“I’m not afraid, it’s just I’m nervous seeing your parents the first time.” Rose tried her best to relax and
lowered her voice, “And I’m also the fake daughter-in-law.”

“What is fake and what is real?” Bright raised his thick eyebrow and a faint smile appeared on his face,
“The one standing here is real.”

Rose stared at him, “It’s easy for you to say.”

A server brought two cups of tea to them, “Mr. Lee, Mrs. Lee, please have a cup of tea.”

“Thanks.” Rose said.

What Mrs. Bright, it was bullshit.

She was like Cinderella in the fairytale, at twelve o’clock this beautiful princess would become
Cinderella again.

“Here you come.” A gentle and loving sound was heard.

Then a graceful and elegant woman with a classical face and refined and beautiful eyes appeared.

She had set her hair up and was wearing a dark green Chinese dress, cheongsam, which showcased
her good figure and her posture, delicate and sophisticated as a woman from the south of China.

She walked over with a smile on her face, “Bright, your father was writing and he will come down soon.”

“Hmm.” Bright replied perfunctorily without lifting his eyes.



The woman looked very young, around her 40s, and she certainly didn’t look like his mother but Rose
didn’t know whether she was his sister or some family friend.

Rose didn’t know how to address her so she looked towards Bright, hoping he could give her some
hints.

“Hello, I’m Hallie Hill, wife of Bright’s father.” Hallie noticed Rose’s uncertainty and introduced herself
first, “Please have a seat, make yourself at home.”

So she was Bright’s stepmother, how beautiful, elegant, nice and gentle she was, nothing like those
arrogant wives in the rich family.

“Mrs. Hallie, hello. I’m Rose Linder.” Rose was quite nervous, hoping she had addressed her properly.

She was merely a few years older than Rose but seniority in the family。

At this moment, the footstep sound was heard coming from the second floor, both Hallie and Bright
stood up and Rose who never sat at all.

Hallie walked around the sofa to help Francis sit on the sofa.

Another two cups of tea were offered by a server who then retreated.

“Dad, this is my wife.” Bright reached out his hand to hold Rose’s hand, “Are you satisfied?”

“Mr……” Rose felt the added pressure from Bright’s hand, Bright corrected her, “You should call him
Dad.”

Only then did Rose recovered, this was Bright’s biological father and it was only natural that she called
after him.

“Hello, Dad, I’m Rose.” She almost stuttered with her tongue.



Francis looked towards Rose who was standing by the side, he looked her up and down before he
said, “We’re a family, why are you standing up, let’s have a seat.”

“Thanks, Dad.” Rose behaved perfectly as a good daughter-in-law.

Bright helped Rose sit down before he was about to sit as well, “I didn’t ask you to sit, you stand still!”

“Dad, this is the first day I brought your daughter-in-law home, how improper it is to make me stand.”
Bright continued to stand without sitting down though.

“Now you mention it? You have been married with Rose for three years and it takes you this long to
bring her home for once? Where is your manner? Now you make her think that we, the Lee family, are
petty and we parents are illiberal……. You ask for it yourself.” Rose had made a very good impression
on Francis.

Such a lady standing there politely was comfortable to look at.

The way she dressed and talked was decent enough without being pretentious, and she was even
acting a little bit nervous from shyness, seem real and natural.

“Dad, hasn’t I brought her home now? It was better than never, right? Don’t be too demanding.” Bright
was about to sit next to Rose when he finished speaking.

“I told you to stand, didn’t you hear me?” Francis was furious, “Or else I’ll break your leg.”

“Don’t yell with such a loud voice, this is the first time Rose comes, you will scare her and she might not
come again.” Hallie patted gently on Francis’s shoulder, and passed him the tea, “Here, take a sip, and
cool down.”



“Don’t you speak in his favor, see how you spoil him.” Francis pushed the cup of tea away, “Weren’t it
not reported in the news, I suppose you would never bring Rose back home for us to see in this life
time?”

“I didn’t say that.” Bright denied.

“But you obviously had thought about that.” Francis reached out a finger and pointed at Bright’s breast.

“Dad, can you read my mind? how do you know what I think?” Bright started to think his dad was being
unreasonable, “Dad, how long are you planning to be angry with me, seriously, don’t scare your
daughter-in-law. You will need to deal with the consequences if you do.”

Francis glanced at Rose with a bit worry and subdued some of his anger, “Rose, don’t take me wrong.
It was my son who didn’t bring you home, not that Hallie and I don’t want to meet you. Please don’t be
mad with us, if you are to be mad, be mad at him!”

“Dad, why do you ask your daughter-in-law to be mad at me? You should ask her to treat me well……”

“Shut up!” Bright was interrupted by his father.

Seeing how Bright was scolded by his father, Rose was so surprised and it was actually kind of fun to
see them argue.

The Lee family was the most famous among the famous families but the Lee family was nothing
arrogant and they were all nice and gentle without looking down upon her.

“What do you mean by dealing with the consequences?” Francis recalled, “Is Rose
pregnant?”
