"By the way, I am really curious though. can I ask what is the reason for you to postpone the meeting?" - asked Zhao Yang.
Thinking for a second, chengguo smiled an answered,
"I am getting married this afternoon"
"what? marriage? why haven't I heard about anything?"- Zhao Yang asked shocked by the news.
"Nobody knows about it yet. I have just decided to get married." - said Fang Chengguo with a big smile on his face. His happiness could be heard from his tone.
"You seem really infatuated. who is that woman that made Young Master Fang so happy?" - Zhao yang teased clearly amused by everything.
"you know her well too brother Yang."
"I know her? who is the woman I know that young master Fang took interest in?" - Zhao Yang asked clearly clueless.
"It's Chen Yumi"
"Oh Chen Yumi. she is goo-- wait what Yumi? Chen Yumi?"- shouted Zhao Yang. " Yumi? but why? how? I mean --" he stuttered.
"I will invite you all for the wedding party later on, then I will give you the details on how and why. but now I need to go brother Yang. Thank you again for agreeing to postpone the meeting." - Said Fang Chengguo before disconnecting the call and asking his assistant too prepare the contract.
on the other side of the call, Zhao Yang was still stupefied. As soon as Fang Chengguo disconnected the call, he ran to the elevator like a crazy man making everyone present there look at him in shock.
Zhang Corporation:
Inside the CEO Office:
Zhang Yichan was sitting behind his desk. His eyebrows were knitted while he was attentively listening to the information his assistant gathered on Xu Hao.
Suddenly the phone on his desk back lit up with a message. While going to the breakfast this morning, Yumi forgot her phone in his car. he bought it with him, thinking of returning to her in the afternoon.
when his eyes fell on the pop up notification, he could read the message as
"The contract is ready. I will see you at the Civil Bureau at 12pm." - the contact name was saved as Chengguo.
Before he could think and decipher the message the door of the office was flung open, and there stood Zhao yang with his disheveled hair.
Zhao Yang who came running directly went to Yichan's desk, drank the water that was on the table in one big gulp.
Putting the glass down, he looked at Yichan and spoke hurriedly.
"Yumi is marrying Fang Chengguo. he just told me on the phone. I don't know that contents exactly but they are going to collect their marriage certificate in the afternoon."
As soon as Zhao Yang finished speaking, the atmosphere in the office turned cold. Yichan face had an ugly expression.
Contract, Civil Affairs Bureau, Marriage Certificate, 12 pm.
Zhang Yichan, understood the brief exchange that must have happened between Fang Chengguo and Chen Yumi. But he didn't understand the contract part.
what contract can be there between yumi and fang chengguo.
Giving a meaningful look to his Assistant, he stood up and walked out of the office with his assistant following behind.
Zhao Yang who was left behind in the office was confused. "isn't he going to be sad? or get angry? why is he so calm?"
By the time Zhao Yang followed him downstairs, Zhang Yichan was talking to someone on the phone and entered the car.
Inside the Car, Zhang Yichan looked at the watch and realised that it was already 10:30 AM.
when the car started driving, Assistant Pei started reporting things to Zhang Yichan.
On the other end:
Chen Yumi who came out of the Fang Industries , took a cab to her apartment. their family used to live in suburbs. she took an apartment closer to the hospital when she turned 22, just so she could she could look after her mom.
as soon as she reached the house, she threw her purse on the bed and shut herself in the bathroom.
Looking at the mirror in the bathroom, she took a deep breath.
Today was supposed to be a happy day in her life, she was supposed to get married to Xu Hao and lead a happy life with the person she loved but now, she is getting married to Fang Chengguo whom she doesn't have any feelings for.
Within half a day, everything seemed to have completely changed. The person she trusted the most cheated on her and now she is getting married to someone else.
But when she remembered the smile one her mother's face, even if she had to marry a stranger, it really didn't matter to her anymore. But when compared to a stranger, at least chengguo is a friend.
when she went to her mother, she wanted to tell her some random excuse and say that the marriage was postponed. and later, when her mother health isn in a good condition, she could tell her what happened but after she listened to her mother's words, she couldn't bring herself to say anything anymore.
God Forbid something happens to her mom after telling her this, she cannot forgive herself.
she could only get married and after thinking for sometime, Fang Chengguo was the best candidate that could help her at this moment.
Looking at herself one last time, she sighed and went to take a quick shower.
After taking a long shower, she came out shower and started getting ready. Looking at the Suitcases that have been packed and ready to go, she felt her heart hurt.
For a week, she was busy between work and cleaning ups the apartment as she was gonna move to XU family house as soon as they get their certificates today. But her fate had other plan.
She wanted to call Li Jing and tell her about the decision to marry chengguo but she know if Li Jing knows about this, she will definitely try and stop her from marrying chengguo.
