Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

490 Zhu and Lee family

In the sitting room…

Maverick and Jeslyn appeared to see two old men drinking what looked like tea. Behind them were two people, a young lady and a young man.

On the other side was Pink, sitting on the opposite sofa.

At their appearance, everyone in the sitting room turned their heads in their direction.

“Hi… I heard you were looking for me?” Maverick assisted Jeslyn to take a seat before he excused himself, leaving the mother and daughter with the ‘strangers!

The white–haired man from the Zhu family cleared his throat. “You’re Jeslyn, right?” he asked.

“Pretty much,” she affirmed.

“Uhm, have your grandparents ever told you about their background?” the man asked again.

Jeslyn sat upright. She glanced at Pink who had a neutral expression, so Jeslyn had no idea what was running through her mind. Anyway, she still had to answer however she deemed fit.

“As much as I can remember, no one ever talked about my grandparent’s background.”

“Oh,” the old man glanced at Pink before he continued. “Well, your grandmother, Lily, was my fifth Cousin. And as for your grandfather, Tai Lee, he is third Lee’s oldest brother.” The man spread his

hand to the other old man.

Jeslyn moved her gaze between the two. What she had understood so far is that the white–haired man is from the Zhu family which apparently is where her grandmother is from. As for the other old man, he’s from the Lee family, her grandfather’s family.

“OK,” she nodded.

“We’ve spoken to your mother here, but she insisted we talk to you.”
