Ask for forgiveness

Edward arrived at the Chen residence only to be welcomed with a loud slap by his mother.

PAK!

The slap resounded in the quiet mansion making the servants' gossiping tounges itchy.

"What is wrong with you son? You found such a beautiful woman to be your wife but you went for a low life! One who couldn't even wait and seduced you back? I was very happy having Jane as my daughter in law but what did you do!?"

His mother, Mary Chen could not hold it in and lashed out on her 27 years old son. She Despite being in her late forties, years she looked like a woman in her 30's and this just went on to show how she carefully maintained her skin and body. Just like any other lady in the upper class society.

Her beautiful face was now twisted in an unpleasant manner, as she did not bother hiding the dissatisfaction in her tone and expressions, all directed towards her son.

Edward did not bother evading the slap as he felt that he really deserved it, especially with the look of disappointment on his mother's face.

He quietly knelt down before his parents, head bowed down in shame as his helpless voice resounded in the living room.

"Please forgive me mom and dad. I was impulsive and have hurt and disappointed you. I will do as you say."

Despite the fact that he acted rashly most of the time, he respected and loved them very much. In this situation,he didn't feel a sense of shame in regards to his actions. To him,he was just teaching her on how to be obedient and submissive to her man! He didn't expect the to escalate this far.

"You're behavior has made the stocks of the company start dropping. You know how everyone fears offending Jane Lu and since you did, you better pray since no one will want to be on her bad side."

Looking at their son on his knees, father and mother Chen softened a bit as Father Chen heavily sighed. 

"Your behavior has greatly impacted the company. Since many fear offending Jane Lu, you better sort out things with her before we suffer more losses." 

Upon hearing his father's words, it struck Edward that he had not heard from Jane for the past three days. Normally,she wouldn't go for a day without talking to him! In short, she was set on leaving him!

He hastily took out his phone and instructed his assistant to book him a big private room in one of the biggest hotels in the capital.

He then turned to his mother, "Mom, can you please ask the Lu family out for dinner so that we can discuss this matter?" His voice carried a sense of urgency, making his mother's heart to soften further. Afterall, she is his beloved son!

His mother sighed and took out her phone, wondering whose number to call when her eyes stopped at Jane's number. She knew if she called any other member, no one would accept the invitation unless Jane herself wanted to.

She dialed the number, fingers crossed as she waited for the other side to pick up. Father Chen signaled her to put it on speaker mode. The family of three sat on the sofa as they waited.

"Hello Mrs Chen." A sweet voice was heard.

Mary felt a sense of dread as she wondered why she called her Mrs and yet she used to affectionately call her auntie.

"Eeh.. Jane dear... please, the Chen family is inviting you over for dinner so that we can discuss what exactly happened between you two. Please accept my invitation, I will send you the location, please come together with the elders, my stupid son wants to ask for forgiveness."

She expected an insult but in return she replied calmly, "Okay Mrs Chen."

Mary was glad because Jane atleast spoke to her. When Edward her say "Mrs Chen" he frowned slightly but did not say a thing. He quickly got up to prepare himself. He was not ready to lose his woman! 

Father Chen looked at his son as he went upstairs and sighed. Honestly speaking, he was very satisfied with Jane as the future madam of the household.

According to him, a woman who knows how to handle a business is well enough to lead their family. Jane Lu is more than he can ask for, not forgetting the fact that she is not just a CEO but a top CEO in the business world.

He wouldn't want the Chen household to end up in the hands of a girl such as Anna. It was a widely known fact that Anna Lu and her mother have never been in good terms with the main Lu family and most of the influential families. He naturally wouldn't want such a daughter-in-law, one who can't even get along with her family members.

"Honey, prepare some gifts for the Lu family." He instructed his wife before finally disappearing into their room.
