Chapter 598: Chapter 303 My Woman Should Spend My Money and Use My Card (3 more updates)_2
She took out her phone and made a call to her elder aunt.
Not long after, her elder aunt scurried out, with tears all over her face, apparently it had been quite a commotion at home.
"Elder Aunt, why are you crying like this." Jane went up and wiped the tears from her elder aunt’s eyes.
"I’m just feeling so upset, Kay, Jane, I’m sorry to have made you witness this embarrassment."
Kay Forrest smiled and said: "Elder Aunt, don’t say that, we are all family here, we’ll solve any difficulties together.
Since Jane has something to discuss with you, I will wait over there, you and your daughter can talk slowly."
Kay Forrest sensibly walked to a small bridge nearby to enjoy the night view.
Jane pursed her lips and said to Valentina Quinlan: "Elder Aunt, I know what you’re thinking.
You think that since I’m with Kay, the Forrest family is rich, so my own family must have soared to wealth as well, right?"
"It’s not like that, Jane, I understand your father’s dilemma.
Although your sister’s marriage isn’t that great, I’m also a mother-in-law.
I can understand the concerns of your parents, as parents, who doesn’t want their child to have a good life with their other half.
Your father is my brother; I understand his character.
Having become relatives with the Forrest family, he certainly worries about you being mistreated there.
He said that he would prepare more dowry for you, and I believe that.
Your dad would definitely not want the Forrest family’s money; I know how he conducts himself.
I am not trying to avoid paying your dad back, this is truly for an emergency.
The apartment your cousin has her eye on is in short supply, as it’s a resale property.
But because of its prime location, it’s in a good school district, so it will be convenient for Princess to go to school in the future.
Princess has been raised in my care since she was young.
You tell me, now that she’s reaching school age, how could I, as her grandmother, let her endure hardship?
I simply can’t bear it.
You are my own dear niece, and really, I shouldn’t be doing this, but Jane, don’t resent your elder aunt, I have my own difficulties.
I really have no other choice."
"Elder Aunt, don’t make it difficult for yourself, this money, I’ll lend it to you.
But a loan is a loan, you will have to pay me back this money in the future.
You haven’t been to the Forrest family’s house, so you probably don’t know, I’ve married into quite the prestigious family.
I’m quite fearful of joining such a family myself.
I can understand your need to borrow money, but I hope you can understand me as well.
The Forrest family isn’t our ATM, just this once, I hope it won’t happen again."
The elder aunt tearfully felt troubled: "Jane, your elder aunt isn’t shameless.
Rest assured, I understand everything you said."
"Mmm, although we are close aunt and niece, for the sake of my own happiness, even close relatives need to clear accounts.
I will transfer the money to you, and you write me an IOU.
Until this two hundred thousand is paid off, I won’t lend you another dime.
No matter how difficult it is for you, it won’t be possible."
This indulgence would only magnify a person’s greed, so to maintain harmony within the family, she must insist that her elder aunt repay this money.
The elder aunt nodded: "Okay, Jane, I’ll make out the IOU for you, and I will definitely repay this money, you can be assured of that."
With her elder aunt’s assurance, Jane felt much more at ease.
Even if the elder aunt doesn’t pay back the money, she definitely won’t be able to come asking for a loan again in the future.
"Okay, elder aunt, don’t be sad anymore, let’s just settle the matter like this.
You go inside first, let’s not let my dad find out.
I don’t have two hundred thousand, this money I borrowed from Kay Forrest.
My dad would definitely not want me to appear less in front of Kay, he would get angry if he knew."
"I don’t want to owe him either, so I’ll pay back slowly."
"Alright, I got it, little Jane, I did you wrong.
Knowing that Kay is still trying to repay today..."
"Aunt, let’s not talk about that anymore. When we go in later, we should all be happy and harmonious as a family.
Look, grandpa was also feeling really upset just now."
The aunt nodded and turned to go inside, while Jane turned to look at Kay Forrest, walking towards him.
Kay Forrest arrived under the bridge, and Jane went up to him, took his hand and smiled.
He rubbed her forehead: "Silly girl."
Jane felt so touched that she almost wanted to cry, she really is the happiest woman in the world right now.
How many people long for such a doting man, and she has him.
"Shouldn’t we also go in? We can’t keep the whole family waiting for us."
"Hmm," Jane took his hand and headed home.
When the two of them entered, the atmosphere among the adults seemed harmonious but was a bit awkward.
The aunt stood up and said: "Little Jane, Kay, I was a bit out of line today, don’t take it to heart.
Just now, I’ve already apologized to your grandparents and parents.
Your sister has borrowed the money, let’s just pretend this never happened, okay?"
"Really?" Jane looked at the aunt and smiled.
"That’s really great. Come on, everyone stop frowning, don’t scare our Kay Forrest.
Come on, let’s eat, and after dinner, I want to show Kay my childhood photos."
"Right, right, let’s eat," Jane’s mom called out, and the family became lively again.
After dinner, the aunt and her husband left, and the aunt helped mom clean up before leaving with the uncle.
The second aunt didn’t leave, she was chatting with Jane’s dad.
Jane led Kay into the room; she was rummaging for old photo albums, and Kay hugged her from behind.
Jane slapped his hand: "Wait a bit, my second aunt and the others are still in the living room."
"I’m not suggesting anything, just hugging you."
Jane’s face turned red, "Even ’just hugging’ is not allowed right now, let’s look at the photos instead."
She sat sideways on the bed and lay down, and Kay lay down beside her, starting to look at the photo album with her.
"I tell you, when I was little, I was the flower of our area.
No exaggeration, I was the ’street flower’ of our street."
"Pfft," Kay couldn’t help but laugh the moment he saw a photo of her at seven or eight years old in a pink dress, red sandals, with a big peony flower on her head: "Ah, a ’street flower,’ quite a big peony you are."
The aesthetic standards were beyond Kay’s understanding.
Jane pinched him: "Don’t make fun of me, this was the trend in our social class."
"Can I say I don’t get your ’trend’? Come on, keep flipping, let me get a good laugh."
The next photo was even more hilarious – Jane was wearing a red kimono, holding a paper umbrella in her hand, standing in front of a backdrop trying to look profound, with two spots of rouge on her cheeks like two rose petals.
He couldn’t help it and burst out laughing: "Your childhood photos have monopolized all the fun for me today."
"Hey, can you stop laughing, all the kids in our area had photos like this when we were little.
That was taken in a small photo studio on our street.
The owner of the studio even said that I was the most photogenic kid he’d ever seen."
Kay held back his laughter and nodded, "Quick, the next one."
Honestly, the typical little girls in the circles he grew up in were like Faye Townsend.
She grew up pampered, dressed every day in princess dresses with little leather shoes and long socks, white, pink, blue, all sorts of colors.
Dressed neatly and properly, he was used to seeing that, and then looking at Jane’s childhood photos... it just felt humorously out of place.
Jane gave him a sidelong glance, just about to turn the page, when a knock on the door was heard.
She got off the bed to open the door, and Jane’s dad appeared at the entrance: "I have something to talk about with you two."
