Su Qingyin appeared to be a bit shy when she talked about the engagement proposal."The Jin Family has invited my parents over for dinner tonight. It appears they are gonna talk about the engagement proposal. Since I just came back from abroad, Miss Jiang, I don't have a lot of friends. And I feel like we really clicked, so if Jin Fengchen and I get engaged one day, you'll be invited to our engagement party."It was as if Jiang Sese's heart had been stomped on. Her face turned white and she twitched her lips. "Okay."She had already accepted the fact that she and Jin Fengchen couldn't be together. But now, when hearing that their families were to discuss the marriage and they might get engaged soon, it was excruciating for Jiang Sese, as if thousands of bugs were gnawing at her. And it was hard for her to hide the emotion.Su Qingyin got what she wanted. So she smiled and said, "Oh, I'm sorry. Maybe I've said too much. Sorry, it's about time. I need to go now. Fengchen is still wai
After Lu Zheng finished his speech, it was time for the Q&A. Random people in the audience were asking random questions.There was one gossipy girl that asked, "Mr. Lu, can you share with us if you ended up with the girl that you worked with and had a crush on?"So many people in the audience wanted to ask that so they all looked at Lu Zheng with curiosity in their eyes. He now was so successful and handsome. It was only natural that the girls were all in love with him. But they didn't know that his heart had always belonged to someone else.Su Qingyin gave Jin Fengchen a look and smiled. "It looks like I'm not the only one wondering that."Jin Fengchen didn't pay her any mind. He stared at Lu Zheng coldly and waited for this man on stage to give an answer.Lu Zheng answered with a smile, "No we didn't. She was in love with someone else. But I recently found out that she is available now. I want to go for it this time."While saying that, Lu Zheng looked at Jiang Sese."I will t
Jin Fengchen said something concise on the stage. When he finished, there was that big round of applause again.The event in the auditorium was considered to be over now.It was just about lunch time when everyone left. The principal went up to them with a smile and said with respect, "Mr. Jin, Mr. Lu, we've reserved a place at a nice restaurant nearby. It would be a great honor for us if you would come and join us."Lu Zheng had been sponsored by the university when he was still a student. After he graduated, he started a company from scratch by himself. The Lu Group was very successful now and he became a regular sponsor of the university as well.That was why he and the principal were close. He didn't reject the offer. And since Jiang Sese came with him, she also had to join them for lunch.Jin Fengchen didn't want to go. But since Jiang Sese would be going, he said yes to the invitation.The group went to a private room reserved in the restaurant. There was a lot of people an
There was a clear tipsiness in Jiang Sese's eyes after the meal.She didn't drink much at first. But everyone was talking about what was happening in the world of commerce. She had no idea what to say. So she busied herself with thinking of what had happened today and couldn't help feeling a bit bummed out. So she resigned herself to drinking quietly right there at the table.After a few drinks, Jiang Sese felt very hot in her head and she couldn't even think straight.As Jin Fengchen noticed that, he asked with a frown, "Are you all right?"Jiang Sese shook her head and her eyes were all blurry. "I shouldn't have had so many." She stood up and headed for the toilet to freshen up by washing her face.Her legs were all wobbly and she almost fell by the door. Lu Zheng saw that with worry in his eyes so he stood up and followed her.People turned their heads toward Jin Fengchen to see what he was going to do. Everyone knew that there was a love triangle going on and now Lu Zheng wen
Su Qingyin, with her eyes on Lu Zheng, cut to the chase. "Mr. Lu, you're in love with Jiang Sese and I'm in love with Jin Fengchen. Why don't we think of a way that would benefit us both?"She was seeking an alliance with him. She would help Lu Zheng get Jiang Sese. And if they were to be together, she would benefit from it as well. Lu Zheng frowned at what she had just proposed."I'm gonna have to pass on that. Sorry, Miss Su."Then he drove off.Lu Zheng was in love with Jiang Sese, and if Jin Fengchen was also, then Lu Zheng knew that he would be a big threat.But he had to fight for his own happiness. There was no need for an alliance with Su Qingyin. And if Jiang Sese did choose Jin Fengchen in the end, then he would respect her decision.Su Qingyin was left there by herself. She was surprised and she stared in the direction that Lu Zheng's car had gone. There was a flash of gloom in her eyes."How dare he say no to me like that!"She squeezed her hands tightly. "Why are t
Seeing the surprised look on Jiang Sese's face, Jin Fengchen flipped open the file and said in an unhurried tone, "I tried to warn you, but you wouldn't listen. This is a marriage contract and it became effective immediately upon signing it. Therefore, you're officially my wife now. I'll have the marriage certificate ready asap."Jin Fengchen was smiling as he said those words. He was obviously in a good mood.He drew up this contract yesterday, for he knew that he would find Jiang Sese here at the school anniversary celebration today.He was in love with her and he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her, but he also knew that Jiang Sese would never agree to it. That being said, he wouldn't stop trying.Jin Fengchen had prepared an entire speech to persuade Jiang Sese to sign the paper, but the woman turned out to be rather gullible. She had signed her name without even looking through a page.But it had made things a lot easier for him.Jiang Sese's mouth fell open and sh
Jin Fengchen nodded, put the files away, and rose to his feet.Su Qingyin was delighted. The two of them then drove to the restaurant together....On their way to the restaurant, Su Qingyin tried to strike up a conversation. "Fengchen, were you in a rush? You didn't tell me before you left.""Yes, it was kind of urgent," said Jin Fengchen indifferently.Su Qingyin's heart sank. "Do I mean nothing to him?"Nevertheless, she remained hopeful. After all, their parents would all be there later, and she was sure that Jin Fengchen would listen to his mother.Before long, they arrived at a stylish restaurant with an elegant setting. The private room was booked a fortnight ago.They walked into the private room to find both of their families there. Everyone was chatting with everyone else and the room was overflowing with joy.Mother Jin greeted them with a warm smile. "We were just talking about the two of you and there you are! Come, take a seat."Su Qingyin greeted all four paren
Later that night after dinner, the Su and Jin families bid each other farewell outside the restaurant. It was the most harmonious scene. They practically looked like one big family.The Su parents were chatting happily with the Jin parents.Su Qingyin said her goodbye to Jin Fengchen with a smile. "I'm off. Don't stay up too late. See you tomorrow."There was an affectionate look in Su Qingyin's eyes."Sure," said Jin Fengchen indifferently.Meanwhile, they were being observed by several other people. They were from the Lan and Jiang families.They were also having dinner there and didn't expect to run into the Jin Family.Jiang Zhen asked in bewilderment, "Isn't Jin Fengchen with Jiang Sese now? Who was that woman?"Lan Sichen recognized the faces outside after a quick glance. "That's the Su Family and they want to marry their daughter to Jin Fengchen. His parents seem to like that idea, too."Qin Shuang frowned. She still held a grudge for being kicked out of that banquet th
