Chapter 49 - That Proposal Is Rejected

Bang... An Fei rushed into the room and slammed the door shut behind her jolting everyone out of their thoughts.

"Sorry for the delay on my part. Well, I'm actually not very sorry but it is necessary. So is everyone ready?"

She took a quick glance at everyone present and walked over to stand in front of all of them. Not waiting for an answer, she started talking.

"I have analyzed the whole situation a while ago. Yes, I do agree that Grandfather, your idea of marriage to Mr Chen and the handing over of the shares is a good option. Thank you for your consideration on this matter."

Grandfather Shen heaved a sigh of relief and smiled after hearing what she said. With a dramatic pause, she stared into her Grandfather's eyes.

"However, I'll reject the proposal and the conditions as that is not the best solution for the issue right now."

Grandfather Shen's smile froze and he was disappointed as he stared back at her.

"Why? This is the most logical and feasible idea at this point of time. I do not see why you are rejecting this at this point of time. So you have to tell me why,"

"Well Grandfather, don't you see that what you have planned is not the best option at this moment? First, Mr Chen and I do not know each other before this and we have only met each other a few weeks back. Won't this be a little suspicious? Yes, you did mentions about final wishes. But that has to do with our future, which at this point of time, I'm not willing to sacrifice my time doing this just for Grandmother and I'm sure she will agree for me to think about what I really want before making this decision and not tie the both of us down for her own selfish reasons.

"Second, I don't think me marrying my 'Sister's' Husband is something that the family can accept. You can tell them that I am the twin that was missing after birth but that does not explain anything at all. I don't think that they won't dig into it and find out that this is all fake because our path had never crossed since I returned. Fabricating a story also has to have concrete evidence before asking people to believe us-"

"Well, I don't see why this would be any issue. you know that you-"

"Old Master Shen, can I carry on without any interruption form you? Anyway, the third reason, I am not planning to be fully involved in the company but having said that, holding Mr Chen back for our own selfishness, is not fair to him at all. Yes, he can learn the ropes and we are promising to find a new candidate within the shortest possible time. However, we can't be sure how long this will take and what if he found someone that he wants to spend his life with within this time frame? He can't go on dates and have to be sneaking around the whole time -"

"Xin is ok with that. What problem do you have with that?"

Glaring at her Grandfather, An Fei continued.

"Don't interrupt my train of thoughts again else, I'm not talking to you anymore. The last reason, is the most important at this moment, that would be him being the target of the other relatives. It is not fair that he has to face the people that you brought up. You should know that they have done a lot of things and I almost died a number of times because of them. I don't think it is fair to put Mr Chen through all this just because you can't make your children listen to you. He should not be the one that is shouldering this whole situation all because of us. No matter how good our security or surveillance is, there would be ways that they can slipped out of our hands and put theirs on him. It is his lie that we are talking about. I feel that there is a reason why Ji Li Investment Firm is in the picture and it is all for the purpose of not putting Mr Chen or anyone of us in danger."

With this, An Fei stopped and glanced over at Chen Xin. Returning her gaze, he nodded his head and felt his understanding of her was lacking. He is amazed by the way her mind turned and assessed the situation. Now he is looking forward to the proposal that she has in mind.

"Hmm... Fei Fei, I must say your analysis, this old man here agrees with you on this. I do agree that there are a number of things that I have not considered before stating what I did. So what is your proposal?"

"Do I still have to go into further details on this now? I believe Lawyer Fu already caught on with my train of thoughts now and he is already aware of what I in mind and is thinking what my next course of action would be. Isn't that right, Lawyer Fu?"

"Yes Miss An, I do agreed with you on this and Old Madam and I have spoke about this before and we have both reached the same conclusion as you. However, I do admire and look up to you. It took us a number off discussions before Old Madam decided on the distribution of the shares in this manner while you only took less than an hour to come to this conclusion. Shall we move onto the next part? Yes, there is one last part."
