Chapter 444 - Shy Brother-in-law



Lilia just wanted Jean\'s family to accept her sincerely, she didn\'t want the incident 14 years ago to change James\' view of her.

This kind of uncomfortable atmosphere only subsided a little when Lilia walked into the living room and saw James Widjaya\'s calm and steady figure.

In the living room, James sat with his head held high. He was drinking his tea from a blue and white porcelain cup, while his wife Irene sat beside him. The woman was seen lowering her head and playing with the necklace she was wearing.

Hearing the footsteps, James immediately stood up and raised his eyes to greet Lilia and Jean who had just arrived. The eldest brother smiled sincerely as he welcomed them, "You finally came. Come on in and sit down,"

Lilia and Jean sat together, a servant immediately delivered two cups of hot tea for the two of them.

Compared to when she first got out of the car, Lilia\'s nervousness had subsided a little.

Since James was drinking his tea with his head down, Lilia couldn\'t see what expression he was wearing when she came to his house.

At this time, Irene waved her hand at the maid who was waiting at the living room\'s door.

After giving her order, Irene looked at Lilia and asked in a friendly manner, "Have you eaten? Surely not, right? We have prepared some cakes and snacks for you. Eat first to fill your stomach. We have a special meal for lunch, so it\'s better of we just eat light snacks for now,"

Irene\'s attitude towards her had not changed, she was still as friendly as ever.

James, who had already put down his teacup, glanced at Lilia out of the corner of his eye.

In fact, James Widjaya was quite a shy person!

On one hand, he was passionately thinking about how to talk to his sister-in-law, but then he was angry with himself for treating Lilia too harshly before.

How could he break this deadlock?

James was thinking hard, he suddenly heard Lilia saying her gratitude in a sincere tone. "Thank you, brother-in-law."

Irene looked at her with a smile that was no less warm. "No need to hesitate like that, we are family."

After that, Jean was seen rubbing the edge of his cup as he weakly looked at his silent brother. The man leaned back in his chair with a relaxed posture then said. "Bro, is your voice gone?"

Seeing his brother continued to be silent, Jean seemed to understand a little about the dilemma that his brother was feeling.

James could only clear his throat in response.

Irene arched her brows and glanced at her husband. She let out a quiet sigh then put down her cup and looked at Jean saying, "Your brother is a little stubborn, don\'t be surprised by the way he is now. Instead of getting wiser, he\'s becoming more and more like a child every day."

For some reason, James felt like a criminal. "..."

This man sighed, he put his teacup back down and looked at Jean with his cold eyes.

In the next second, James slowly shifted his gaze. And when his gaze landed on Lilia, his eyebrows dropped sharply and revealed a serious face. "Why did you come so fast? Why don\'t you take a rest at home first?"

Hearing those words, Jean pulled the corner of his mouth, while Irene held her forehead with a smile. Jimmy could only smile bitterly inside his heart as he stood behind them.

Who on earth told him to call young master Jean so that they would come as quickly as possible?

Irene could not stop thinking, her handsome and arrogant husband could be stupid sometimes. \'If you want to be a good brother, can you look more cheerful?\'

At this meeting, Lilia finally heard James\' voice for the first time since entering the door. The supermodel answered with a polite smile. "I was worried that brother-in-law waited too long for our presence, so I came here early."

"That is not what I mean!" James shook his head. "You, young people, although you feel you are healthy, never underestimate illness. I also had time to see the advertising shoot you were in. There are many strange diseases out there and the weather is cold now. So why did you only wear thin clothes when shooting that commercial? Weren\'t you worried about catching a cold?"

Lilia could only be dumbfounded and speechless.

How should she reply to these words?

James seemed to be talking about Alfred\'s perfume ad.

Even though Lilia had broken the contract and quit their cooperation, the recording she had starred in was still used by Alfred to attract consumers.

Lilia didn\'t care about that, but this brother-in-law suddenly brought up the matter. And Lilia really didn\'t know how this man thought.

The living room suddenly fell into silence after James asked his question.

Irene stomped her husband\'s feet under the table, now she was thinking hard how to break the awkward atmosphere. However, her husband suddenly opened his mouth again and looked at Jean. "You too, why do you let your wife dress like that? I heard that the entertainment industry doesn\'t think about the health of the artists at all. For them, the artist is just a tool to make money."

"In my opinion, you should be more assertive and scold those people as her husband. After all, health is the most important. How could a wife from the Widjaya family be left wearing such revealing clothes and shivering with cold? Did they think my cute sister-in-law was a snow doll?!"

"You should immediately arrange for our company to make a debut in the entertainment world. We will make Lilia the star and make a revolution in the entertainment industry of this country!"

Lilia, Jean and Irene were all dumbfounded.

At this moment, Lilia pressed the corner of her mouth and lowered her head while smiling. Apparently, her brother-in-law was…. a little funny.

Jean glanced at his brother casually while nodding lightly. "Indeed, that was my plan!"

Hearing that answer, James nodded with satisfaction. "Good then! Get on with this as quickly as possible. After the details of the plan are completed, show me."

James was happy to help out with his sister-in-law\'s career, but Jean\'s cold voice shook his heart. "No need, I can handle it myself."

Irene immediately raised her eyebrows when she heard Jean\'s answer. She pushed back her husband\'s filled teacup and said to him. "He\'s right. Jean has her own way of supporting Lilia. If you want to help him, just say so."

James could only stare at his wife, he then took his cup and drank it. After sighing, he wondered if his little brother didn\'t realize his good intentions? Did he need to say it out loud so he understood?

James didn\'t want to bring up the problem 14 years ago in front of Lilia. So he tried to destroy Lilia\'s prejudice against him by making a company to support her in the entertainment industry.

James\' indifference attitude towards her before was because of his dissatisfaction and dislike of his sister-in-law\'s background in the entertainment industry.

But last night, he found out about all of Lilia\'s doings since her debut, and only then did he realize that his prejudice against her was plain ridiculous.
