Chap. 004 - Meet Up!

Heng Han took off and threw his tie carelessly on the bed as he returned to the room. He complained about his father's arbitrary and inconsistent attitude to Liang Qing. A wife who was always loyal to hear his complaints every time he fought with their father.

"I really can't understand the extent to which grandpa has thought about Li Jian's marriage properly. On the one hand, I also don't like the future daughter-in-law Hong. She's too ambitious and bold. So it doesn't suit our second son."

"But, would the Wen family's first daughter be that much better than her?"

Liang Qing wasn't sure. She would rather agree if Li Jian postponed his marriage.

"No one could read Dad's mind. He indeed has more different thoughts than us. However, after Li Cheng's marriage had failed. You two were still fussing over a wife for Li Jian?

Heng Han stared angrily at his wife.

"Don't talk about that woman in front of me! I'm sick of remembering her face and her demeanor. I very much regretted choosing the worst partner for our first son. I didn't expect you to add to my pain."

Liang Qing pinched her husband's waist.

"Ough!"

"It's all your fault! Who told you to be too rash in marrying Li Cheng to her? Even though he was only 21 years old! He even had to take time off from college at the time to take care of their divorce."

The Quan couple let out a long sigh. And put on the pity faces.

"Because of that, I don't want to repeat the same mistake. At this time, I have to choose the best woman for Li Jian. A woman who has high ambitions to not depend too much on men. And could be independent without having to whine like a child in front of her husband."

Liang Qing narrowed her eyes.

"Did you just taunt me?"

Heng Han flashed a smile. He touched his wife's shoulder.

"How could I think so? Do you doubt my sincerity?"

Liang Qing blushed. She nudged Heng Han's shoulder with her shoulder.

Liang Qing was still not ready to let her second son go for marriage.

Heng Han continued to dwell on his plans to cancel the wedding.

Meanwhile, the two Quan sisters held private blather in the youngest's bedroom.

"I don't get it what happened to this family. Why were they so busy matchmaking our brother? But they were not trying to find a charming mate for me?!" Li Xia was finding the existence of massive discrimination in her family.

She was getting disappointed.

She lay limply on her sister's bed.

Li Mei. The 15-year-old young girl. Staring cynically at her sister who was only 4 years parts from her.

"You're only 19 years old. So what did you expect from an arranged marriage? You couldn't wait to get married and have a child?"

Li Xia threw a pillow at the younger sister couldn't get along.

"I was just thinking something should think!"

"Brother Li Cheng was already betrothed to the girl of Dad's choice when he was only 21 years old. But I, I who am even 19 years old now. And I am a woman. So shouldn't they be more worried about their daughter's marriage? Rather than the second son those who were indifferent about marriage?"

Li Xia stared at the pink ceiling of Li Mei's room.

"Didn't offer me a handsome man. Friends for blind dates or just chatting. They haven't been ever to offer me about it at all. Wouldn't they want their sons and daughters to get married quickly? From now on they should introduce me to hundreds of men. So, I can choose one of them. That's right, isn't it?"

Li Mei shook her head in disbelief.

She was sure her old sister was out of her mind. She would like to be involved either. But several things bothered her after she listened to Li Xia's words.

"Brother Li Jian is getting married? With whom? And how is that girl? Did they pick her properly?"

Li Xia chuckled. She looked at her younger sister, half frustrated.

"What world were you actually in?"

"The whole world even knew that the Quan family would be side by side with the Wen family. So, where and what were you doing as the news had even spread to remote regions or the ends of the world?"

Li Mei sneered. She didn't think she needed to feel like she had lost.

"I just don't interested in adult problems. I just thought it was only an ordinary statement. You have known how fussy grandpa and Dad were when they were talking about marriage!"

Li Mei was really curious about her future sister-in-law. She stopped doing anything the homework that she had to do. Then, turned around.

"Would she be much better than sister Xiao Lu?"

Li Xia refused to answer. She ignored Li Mei. She also stepped away after pushing Li Mei's head down.

"Just studying! Be smart and be the successor to the stunning Quan family that you aspire to be!"

Yue Yin looked sadly ahead. She had been very careful not to create a mess. She still has a hard time breaking her old habit of being careless.

She accidentally spilled coffee on the expensive shirt of a young man. Yue Yin seemed could interpret how much the shirt price that a white cotton-skinned man was wearing.

Oh, shit!

Why weren't the good days for me?!

Since the debate on the wedding plans passed. I just kept having bad luck!

I just keep on shit!

She was actually grumbling excessively. Because without that gloomy wedding plans. Yue Yin was often to get unlucky, indeed.

Yue Yin withdrew a smile. She raised her head to face what she had to face.

"Give me your shirt. I'll do my best to remove the stain! Otherwise, maybe. I should replace it with a new one."

The tall and pale man took off his sunglasses.

"Is this your way of apologizing? After you thought you could make up for the loss that I got it. You bragged about your wealth?"

Yue Yin widened her eyes. She was surprised to see the strange but dazzling good-looking man in front of her. She had almost become a fool in front of that stranger man.

She hastily brought herself to her senses by shaking her head.

"I don't mean to brag about the wealth. I'm still a part-timer. So how could I brag about wealth I didn't have?"

Li Jian brought his face closer to Yue Yin. He came to the coffee shop where Yue Yin worked part-time because he wanted to see firsthand how his future wife socialized with the environment.

He also thought to know why Yue Yin kept her job while she was studying. Even though she could have asked her father for money.

The information that his secretary, Ze Ming gave him, bothered his mind.

To the point, Yue Yin was already in front of his eyes unknowingly. And made a mistake.

Li Jian let out a low sigh after noticing Yue Yin's slender eyes that were blinking because they haven't understood their situation yet.
