Chapter 55: Chapter 53: Engagements
,Back at the Fu family villa, the servants were all lined up waiting for the arrival of the youngest lady and when she arrived, they all bowed in greeting and chorused "welcome home youngest lady"
Her three male cousins who had come to pick her up at the airport, first stepped down from the car before she did. They led her into the villa where she met her grandfather came out personally to welcome her.
"Grandfather" Lianne screeched excitedly as she went to meet the man who had doted on her since she was a child.
They engulfed into a big hug until Lianne drew back to look at her grandpa.
"Grandpa I missed you so much" Lianne said as she held onto her grandpa as they walked into the villa
"Weren't you the one who refused to come back home?" her grandfather said.
"Anyways, I'll hold a return party for you. Your uncle has someone in mind for you to start dating. You'll meet him tomorrow" her grandfather broke the news.
"What?!!!" her cousins bellowed in shock
"Grandpa I'm not going to meet anyone tomorrow" Lianne said stubbornly.
"This guy is the son of the Jiang family. He has a good background"
"Grandfather I already told you. I'm not meeting anyone"
Just then, her uncle came in.
"Lianne I heard you came back and I decided to pay you a visit" her uncle, Fu Shizhong, said. He was grandfather Fu's second son.
"Hello uncle" Lianne greeted more out of respect than choice. Ever she was young, she and her cousins never really liked him but they had no choice but to accord him some respect.
"I just heard grandfather inform you about the son of the Jiang family" her uncle said
"And like I told grandfather, I'm not going" Lianne said.
Her cousins looked a little shocked. Lianne had always been quick to defile orders ever since she was young but everytime she always had a good reason to back herself up.
"And may I ask why? Grandfather and I are just worried that you aren't dating anyone yet so we thought the son of the Jiang family would be a good match" her uncle said.
"Well if you must know, there's someone I'm already dating and before you even ask, I'm not telling you who it is" Lianne said and immediately stood up and left leaving them stunned and surprised
Her cousins however, were quick to get over the shock and quickly followed after her.
"Are you really dating someone?" her eldest cousin, Fu Hua asked.
"Yes. Why would I lie about something like that?" Lianne asked
"Well it won't make a difference. Uncle will probably suggest you breakup with whoever it is" her second cousin, Fu Yangjing said
"Yes, the only solution is for you to get married to him as soon as possible" the third cousin, Fu Ling said
"Get married? But we only started dating" Lianne said
"Uncle is planning on announcing your engagement soon. The sooner you get married, the sooner you escape the engagement." Fu Hua said
"Besides you guys can build the relationship even while married" Fu Yangjing said.
Lianne ended up chasing them away from her room so she could think. She decided to make her decision the next day.
Meanwhile, Jordy was facing a similar problem at home, two of his male cousins had come to pick him up from the airport and soon he had arrived at the Ji family villa.
His aunt had broken the news of his engagement with Emelia, the daughter of the Guang family
He had refused telling them that he already had someone he liked. He then retired to his room and took a shower before laying on his bed and decided to call Lianne
Lianne who had just returned from taking a shower picked the call after seeing the caller id.
They spoke for a while and Jordy told her he had something important he wanted to talk to her about and would like to meet her the next day at his private villa. Lianne agreed and he sent her the location.
The next day, Lianne arrived at his villa and was led to a garden by a lady of about 40 years of age.
She was so mesmerized by the beauty of the garden that she didn't realized when the lady stopped and she ended up crashing into Jordy's back.
Luckily for her, Jordy was quick I. turning around and catching her before she reached the floor. Jordy was drawn into her mesmerizing black eyes whose beauty was unmatched. He cleared his throat and helped her up before leading her to a table filled with snacks
They talked for a while before Jordy went into what he had called her for
"My aunt wants me to get engaged to Emelia Guang but I refused. I suspect my aunt will hold the engagement party anyway so I thought of a solution. However, the only solution I could come up with is marriage" Jordy said
"Marriage?" It was the same thing her cousins had told her
"Yes. I know we're only trying this relationship out but I also don't want to lose you by getting married to someone else. So would you marry me? Al though I have no ring nor flowers but I sincerely hope that we get married. Not just because I'm trying to escape a forced engagement but because I sincerely do hope we spend the rest of our life together" Jordy confessed
After a few moments of deliberation, she agreed "I will"
They both agreed to meet up the next day to get their marriage certificate.
