Chapter 83: The Drama of the Family

Jane's attitude angered Mr. Jones, and he yelled, "It's not that you're causing trouble, we're all wiping your ass!" ”

Jane's eyes widened.

"Are you kidding me?"

She pointed to Mike, who didn't want to get involved in the dispute.

"If it weren't for him and Jenny, we wouldn't have gotten into such trouble!"

Mike retorted frustrated and speechless:

"It was Jeanne who recommended her to me in the first place, saying that she didn't attend King Chris's High School, and that I just had to pretend to be intimate with her so that I wouldn't arouse suspicion."

Jane immediately retorted: "I suggested that you keep a secret relationship with her, but you made this matter known to the whole world, and it was you who screwed things up!" ”

Mike was about to shoot back when Mrs. Jones suddenly shouted at him to stop.

"Enough! Now is not the time to argue about who is right and who is wrong, don't forget that we are a team, we have worked together very happily in the past, and now is the time for us to work together to get through this, and you don't want your winnings to go to waste, right? ”

These words made the other three people in the room calm down instantly.

Mr. Jones was the first to speak, apologizing to Jane, saying that he shouldn't have said that about her just now.

Mike also admits his mistake and admits that he really didn't handle the relationship with Jenny well, which caused everyone trouble.

In the end, Jane's attitude softened, after all, it was indeed she who accidentally provoked Jamie in the process of inviting Dan.

"What are we going to do now?"

Jane asked, looking at the others.

"As usual, leave him at home for a meal, and you can talk to him more about movies at the table, and by the way, he's still a fan of superhero comics, so Mike can talk to him more about this later."

It was Mr. Jones who still made the decision.

"But Marvel and DC don't have a partnership agreement with us."

As soon as Mike said this, he immediately attracted a siege from the others.

"Damn, stop thinking about your performance, if the other party sees that something is wrong, we will all be finished!"

Mr. Jones's remark drew unanimous approval from Mrs. Jones and Jane.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

Confirming that everyone would act according to the agreed plan, Jane ran over to open the door.

Jamie was alone outside the door.

Without waiting for Jenny to ask where Dan and Jenny were, Jamie took the initiative to explain that Dan and Jenny had just had a big fight.

Jenny ran away in a rage, and Dan couldn't worry about catching up.

Jamie came back to say goodbye to the Jones family.

Dandu is gone, and he naturally has no reason to continue to stay.

Mr. Jones and Mrs. Jones, who were standing behind Jane, both had a very regretful look on their faces and opened their mouths to keep Jamie.

Originally, it was just a polite gesture, who would have thought that Jamie had really changed his mind.

After inviting Jamie into the house, Mr. Jones deliberately fell behind, making an angry look at Mrs. Jones about what the was going on.

Mrs. Jones gave him a calm, improvisable look.

The family accompanied Jamie into the living room, Jane and Mike stayed to talk to Jamie, and Mr. Jones and Mrs. Jones came to the kitchen to discuss what to do.

Both of them were a little unsure of what Jamie wanted to do, so they discussed it for a long time, and finally decided to go according to the original plan.

In the living room, not long after Jane sat down, she received a phone call and took her mobile phone to the next room.

Mike chatted with Jamie about the latest electronic gadgets, and although he did a good job of concealing it, the occasional sneaky little action in his eyes still revealed his inner nervousness.

That's when Jamie suddenly spoke.

"Tell me about you and Jenny, how did you meet?"

A hint of panic flashed in Mike's eyes, but Jamie pretended not to see it, and continued to explain:

"Don't get me wrong, I just don't want to have a misunderstanding between your family and Dan, maybe you all think that Jenny is fifteen years old, and it is her freedom to fall in love with whom, Dan as an elder brother interferes like this, it seems that he is a little too lenient."

Mike hastily explains that he can understand Dan's approach, and that if his sister is in a relationship with a strange boy, he will want to know more.

"Really? I thought your sister already had a boyfriend, and there must be no shortage of suitors around a beautiful and charming girl like her. ”

Looking at Jamie with a curious face, Mike began to feel secretly anxious.

Damn, why didn't Jen come back when she answered the phone.

"Yes, many people think that Jane must have a boyfriend, but you may not believe it, she has always been single, if she is not as keen on all kinds of cosmetics as normal girls, and likes to dress herself, my parents are even a little worried about whether she has something wrong with her gender identity."

Mike, of course, was lying.

The real reason is clear only to him.

Article 2 of the Employee Code of Conduct is not allowed to like customers.

Just then, Jen answers the phone and returns to the living room, and after sitting down, she asks Mike and Jamie what they are talking about.

Mike was worried that the other party would find out about what he was talking about behind Jane's back, so he immediately changed the subject and said that they were talking about Dan.

At the same time, he winks at Jamie and asks him to help him fulfill his lie.

Looking at the reaction, it really looks like the reaction of an older brother who accidentally leaked his sister's single secret.

Jamie nodded cooperatively.

"That's right, we're talking about Dan, where did I just go?"

Mike immediately reminded Jamie that they said Dan cared about Jenny having a boyfriend for a reason.

Jamie immediately asked rhetorically:

"So Jane didn't tell you?"

Now it's Mike's turn to panic, what should he know?

But he really doesn't know anything!

Jamie shrugged as usual.

"Well, it looks like you really don't know."

This successfully intrigued Jane, who asked Jamie what was going on.

Jamie glanced at Jane and Mike, and asked with some hesitation:

"I'm not sure if I should tell you if I should have told you, after all, it's about privacy."

Jane immediately assures Jamie that she will keep it a secret.

Mike also made a confidentiality promise under the gesture of Zhenzhen's eyes.

That's when Jamie told the story.

"Jenny had a boyfriend before, and later found out that what that guy really likes is a man, and looking for Jenny to fall in love is just using her as a shield, and the most disgusting thing is that after this guy was exposed to the truth, he even asked Jenny to continue to pretend to be a couple with him, for which he was even willing to pay Jenny a sum of money, Dan was very angry when he found out, and found the guy and beat him up."

Mike's face changed instantly, and he was so nervous that he didn't know where to put his hands.

Although Jane was also shocked in her heart, she was relatively calm.

"Mike, can you go to the kitchen and get me two bottles of juice?" I'm getting a little thirsty. ”

A panicked Mike quickly stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

When he came to the door, he realized that the juice in the refrigerator was Mrs. Jones's "business", and Jane's real intention was certainly not to help Mrs. Jones improve her performance, but to suggest that he go to Mrs. Jones to help get ideas.

Walking into the kitchen, Mrs. Jones, who was preparing dinner, looked up with Mr. Jones.

Despite the distance between the living room and the kitchen, Mike glanced back nervously.

Mr. Jones and Mrs. Jones immediately sensed that something was wrong from his unusual behavior.

Mr. Jones was the first to speak, asking Mike what had happened.

"I feel like we're exposed! He already knows everything about us. ”

Mike spoke quickly.

Mr. Jones and Mrs. Jones's faces changed color in unison.

"Are you sure?"

Mike repeated what Jamie had just said in the living room, and he was very agitated during the process.

Mr. Jones and Mrs. Jones were also incredulous.

Thankfully, they were all calm.

"Mike, are you sure you haven't shown your feet in front of anyone since we moved here?"

This time the one who spoke was Mrs. Jones.

Mike is very excited to say that he has always been careful and has never revealed to anyone that he likes men.

Mr. Jones came right away.

"Is it possible that it was just a coincidence? It's like a girl's first boyfriend is an athlete, and then her second boyfriend is looking for an athlete as well. ”

Without waiting for Mike to answer, Jen walked in from outside.

"What's the matter with you guys? I asked you to come and get a drink, and you were delayed for so long. ”

Mike is at a loss.

Mr. Jones quickly opened the refrigerator and took out a bottle of juice and threw it on the floor.

Mrs. Jones reacted and took two more bottles of juice from the fridge and stuffed them into Jane's hands.

"Your brother accidentally broke a bottle while taking the juice and was cleaning it up, so you know what to say, right?"

Jane nodded quickly, but also emphasized that she couldn't delay for too long, so everyone should hurry up and make an idea.

As soon as Jane left, Mr. Jones and Mrs. Jones made eye contact and quickly came to an agreement.

"Listen, the current situation is not as bad as you think, first of all we can't rule out that it's a coincidence."

"Secondly, even if the other party has found out your identity, it is only limited to the fact that you concealed your orientation from Jenny and used her as a shield, the real purpose of our coming here is not even known to few people in the company, and it is impossible for Jamie Dutton to know the inside story."

"Now all you have to do is go out and admit your mistake to Jamie and find a way to convince him not to publicize it."

Mrs. Jones's words also represent Mr. Jones's opinion, and the two were not consulting Mack, but asking him to do so.

Mike could not think of a better solution for a short time, so he had to go to the drawing-room, "accompanied" by Mrs. Jones and Mr. Jones.

Jane was chatting with Jamie about some gossip from King Chris's High School, and when she saw her family coming out of the kitchen, she naturally asked.

"Dinner is ready so soon?"

Mr. Jones and Mrs. Jones looked at each other, and with a solemn expression, confessed to Jamie that Mike liked men.

"We're really, really sorry, Steve and I should have stopped this in time, but because of our family's vanity, we acquiesced in Mike's cheating on Jenny."

Mrs. Jones held Mike by the shoulder, tears in her eyes, apologetic face, choking up and apologizing to Jamie.

Mr. Jones also changed his previous attitude of a high-spirited and successful person, and stood aside dejectedly.

"Kate is right, our family has a life that is the envy of our neighbors, and we have always been proud of it, and Mike is the only one who will make us a joke in the eyes of our neighbors, so we have been careful to hide it."

Lian Jin also stood up from her seat and joined in apologizing.

Seeing the family's eyes reddened and sobbing quietly from time to time, such a vivid performance made Jamie want to play with them.

"You're not kidding me, are you? How can there be such a coincidence in the world that Jenny's two boyfriends like men? ”

It turned out to be really just a coincidence.

The Jones family breathed a sigh of relief.

Mrs. Jones immediately asked Mike to call Jenny in front of the family and confess everything.

Mike immediately pulled out his phone and prepared to do so.

Jamie stopped him.

Under the confused gaze of the Jones family, Jamie shrugged and explained that Jenny had been deceived and hurt by her ex-boyfriend in this way, and if he did it again, he couldn't imagine how hard Jenny would be.

Of course, this is a lie to the Jones family, including Jenny's ex-boyfriend.

The Jones family believed it, and it was the result of their uncontrollability.

Mr. Jones took advantage of the situation and proposed that in order to protect Jenny from being hurt again, the family was willing to cooperate with Jamie and ask Mike to find another reason to break up with Jenny.

In this way, Mike's secret will not be known to more people, and Jenny will not be hurt more, which is good for everyone.

The two sides happily reached a consensus.

The Jones family managed to defuse a major crisis and entertained Jamie with twelve points of enthusiasm at the dinner table.

This family is a master of setting off the atmosphere, and everyone chatted happily during the dinner.

In the end, Jamie also told the Jones family the "truth".

"You must be wondering why I offered to come with Dan to visit your family, of course, because Dan and I are good friends, but it's mostly a coincidence."

"You may not believe it, I was thinking about a story during this time, the story is about a wealthy town, suddenly one day moved a family, they are simply a model family in everyone's mind, the husband is handsome and chic, the wife is sexy and beautiful, and a pair of children are also obedient and sensible, and soon their family will become the stars of the town."

"Other families in the town imitated their family's lifestyle in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, hoping to live the same happy life as them, but in the end, everyone found that no matter how much they followed suit, they could not become as happy as that family, but many families eventually went bankrupt and lost everything because of endless loan consumption."

"Everyone blamed the resentment on the family, and soon the husband of the family was robbed and killed on the way home, the wife couldn't accept the blow and committed suicide by taking medicine, the son became addicted to drugs, and the daughter fell into the dust, what a beautiful family was completely destroyed by the jealousy of others."

After saying that, Jamie deliberately looked at the discolored Jones family.

"What do you think of the ending of this story?"
