Fortunate to Have You This Lifetime

Chapter 1342: Chapter 1342

Jane packed her luggage, escorted downstairs by her family, and settled into Allen Rivera’s car.

It’s impossible not to feel nervous when meeting future in-laws with such significance...

The whole family contributed advice either directly or by hinting.

Her grandparents advised her to be polite and follow the rules when she’s out and about.

Her uncle advised her to be wary of Allen’s two brothers; if they are all playboys, consider the possibility of Allen being unfaithful after marriage...

Her aunt also took this matter seriously, recommending Jane to observe Allen’s mom’s relationship with the daughter-in-law, and assess her status within the family.

Isabelle advised her to be cautious of Allen’s eldest sister; in families with sisters, the dominant ones often like to interfere in their younger brother’s household affairs.

Jane listened, feeling slightly awkward, trying hard to remember everyone’s advice.

When it came to Ruby Spencer, her mom frowned and pondered for a long time as if she had nothing to say, then instructed, "Just let things take their course once you’re there; as long as his family has eyes, they’ll see your good qualities."

Her uncle was speechless, "So, we ramble on, and when it comes to you, it becomes ’let things take their course’? Were all our words wasted then?"

Her aunt also had a comment, "Exactly, sis, you’re too relaxed. When Isabelle was going to Jesse’s house, I chatted with her almost the whole night by candlelight. After she left, I was totally anxious, feeling even more nervous than her."

Ruby Spencer laughed, "I’m a marriage failure myself, what useful advice can I offer her? It’s good enough if I don’t hinder her."

Jane was initially quite happy but felt a bit uncomfortable hearing her mom’s words.

At this moment, she heard her grandma asking, "Why hasn’t Ellis returned yet?"

Jane’s attention shifted slightly, true, where did her aunt go?

Just as she was wondering, there she saw her aunt carrying large bags and boxes of gifts, walking briskly and panting in the distance.

"There’s more in the car, can someone go help get it?" her aunt said, panting.

Her uncle and uncle-in-law quickly ran over, while her mom and aunt took the items from her aunt’s hands, piling them up and stuffing them into Allen’s trunk.

"It’s New Year’s, we can’t go visit empty-handed; you need to take all these," her aunt said, "Though his family may not lack any of these things, it’s the thought that counts, and there are some local specialties that can serve as something fresh."

Jane was surprised at the sight of the trunk being packed full, "Wouldn’t it be too much..."

"Well, he does have many siblings," her aunt wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Such a large set of New Year’s goods is impossible to gather from just one place, especially when many shops are closed on the first day of the lunar year, it seems her aunt put in a lot of effort.

Jane felt very touched, as if her aunt’s nagging didn’t seem so annoying anymore.

As they loaded up the car to set off, her aunt held Jane’s hand upon departure, whispering, "Perform well when you get there, be sweet and make the elders happy, that’s more important than anything. When you do well in the future, don’t forget your aunt, help find a good partner for your cousin Marshall, and help Rick Spencer find a good school..."

Jane: "Mm..."

Would you let me feel moved for a bit longer?

Finally, they set off.

...

The car drove steadily on the highway, after about more than two hours, Allen Rivera slowly pulled the car into the emergency lane, exhaling a breath and leaning back tiredly.

Jane thought he was tired, leaned closer, and thoughtfully helped him gently massage his temples.

"Close your eyes and rest for a while before driving again, we’re not in a rush anyway."

Allen Rivera heard her caring words, the corner of his mouth lifted slightly, and he adjusted her seat lower, pulling her into his arms.

"Actually, I’m not tired. Our car is out of fuel."

"Out of fuel?" Jane widened her eyes. Allen didn’t seem like someone who would make such a mistake.

"According to my calculations, we should have reached the next gas station by now," Allen said with a helpless smile, "but I forgot to factor in our aunt."

The load increased, leading to higher fuel consumption.

Jane froze, then after a moment, buried her head in his arms with uncontrollable laughter.

Our... Aunt.
