Summary:
“I hate to get involved
in this so-called marriage business. I expect the same from you. Unfortunately,
i am not in the situation to cancel it. So, Ms. Li, you should be the one who
cancel this nonsense.”

Chen family, was giving his cold eyes and expressionless face which made Amy
trembling involuntarily.

so many painful memories since she was young. Then five years ago, she almost
lost her life after her boyfriend's betrayal, her best friend's lie, and bad
reputation which changed her being different person.

1 Marriage for Business
Amy
stared blankly through papers in front her. She listened attentively when her
father Li Jie spoke with high spirit. He even did not give any chance for Amy
to interrupt his speech. Ami feels suffocated and chose to clench fist tightly
until her veins seem exploding. She lowered her head, dropping her gaze to the
floor.
Li
Jie stopped talking, let out a long sigh then looking her silent daughter. Amy
behavior makes him becoming upset.
“Amy,
did you listen me?” His sharp voice snapped Amy from her blank thought.
Amy
took a glance, but soon she moved her eyes to the papers.
“Dad,
are you sure about this? I think I am not the best choice after all. How about
Kate?” Amy tried to persuade her father. She even forced a sweet smile.
Li
Jie frowned. Kate, his younger daughter just came back from abroad and chose
spending her days with shopping and hanging out with her friends. He always
thinks she is too young to get married although she is 22 years old. Meanwhile,
Amy is two years older and has 3 years experiences in marketing department.
“Li
Ai Mi.”
Amy
startled when Li Jie called her. Her father rarely mentioned that name.
Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat.
“I
don’t want to tell this over again. Next week, you have a blind date with him.
He is very busy, so his father and I barely made this appointment.”
His
final word made Amy feel hopeless. Li Jie then reached his phone and called his
secretary. Amy throw her sad eyes when her father left without turning back.
She took the papers and read it briefly.
Theo
Chen, a son of prominent businessman Chen Li Qiang from
New Star Group, 28 years old and obtained education with majors of international
business and business administration. He is the most wanted future husband in S
city since he took a position as CEO in the largest branch of his father’s
enterprise. He managed stores and hospitality company for 5 years after
finished studying abroad.
Amy
pouted in silence. The more she read about Theo Chen, the more she felt
annoyed. How can the perfect male exist in this earth? Her father did not give
any photos, so she could not picture his face.
Suddenly,
her phone rings. Amy saw the name “Crazy Girl” on the screen. She breathed long.
“Amy,
come soon to shopping mall S. Pick me up. My car has a problem.” A crispy voice
sounded very demanding.
Amy
felt irritated. “Kate, you can take a cab.” She replied with low voice,
oppressed her annoyance.
“No
way. I don’t like a dirty and cheap car. Come now.”
After
shouted in bossy manner, Kate hung up the phone. Amy was speechless. She could
not believe Kate has never changed her tone when she spoke to her elder sister.
Since a child, Kate always acted like a spoiled princess and this even has
getting worse after she come back from abroad. Their relationship is not good
term from 5 years ago.
“I
can’t believe, you embarrassed me. How am I supposed to do when my friends
found out this terrible fact.”
Amy
kept silence in a head down position. She bit her lip hardly to control
emotion. Her tears almost fell into her cheek. Her father even sat without
batting an eye. Her mother, Maggie Wang throw an accusation through her jade
eyes. Since then, Amy stopped to defend herself. Every time her sister or her
mother blamed her for something that displeased them, Amy simply let them do
everything they want to. She has struggled as time goes by to survive when
people around are always gossiping her.
Amy
never imagined that in the future she will get big troubles, marrying Theo Chen
who is stranger to her. She really wants to escape from her cruel destiny.
Meanwhile,
in a clothing store, after ended her talking with her sister, Kate approached
her friends.
“Kate,
is that woman will come soon?” a tall and long wavy hair girl spoke with her
dissatisfied look.
Kate
smiles broadly. “Don’t worry, Julia. As soon she is coming, we will go to the
club.”
“I
can’t believe your car got trouble, Kate.” Said another girl who has oval face
and a sexy lip as distinctive feature.
“Sorry,
Gillian. As an apology, I will treat a dinner and drinks, okay?!”
Both
girls screamed happily. They hugged Kate with a dramatic way.
“Let’s
go buying clothes again.” Kate spoke enthusiastically. Soon, they forgot their
anger.
A
half hour later, Amy arrived in shopping mall S. She tried many times to call
Kate, but her sister did not answer it. This made her more stressful. She hates
weekend since she cannot use working as an excuse to refuse Kate.
She
pressed number again, losing her concentration to her surround. Not a far way, from the opposite way, there
are few people walking. One of them is talking to a tall and handsome figure
who seems walk too fast with cold and uninterested expression. Behind his back,
a shorter man is busy writing something on the notebook. They really try so
hard to keep up with that tall man. He strode with elegance and domineering
look.
Then,
without any hint, Amy bumped this man when she was busy typing texts. His strong
body seems like the wall, so Amy lost her balance and ended up falling on the
floor. People followed this handsome man were shocked. However, the man had a
stoic expression on his face.
“Stop
walking if you are texting something.” The man talked in a stern voice.
Amy
felt a sudden anger in her head. Her buttock is painful. She soon stood up and
tidied up herself. When she wanted to release her complains, her words were swallowed
quickly. Meeting the black jet-eyes with a perfectly sculptured face, Amy gasped
in surprise.
The
man gave a quick glance, then commanded his secretary, “Mr. Lei, I want to back
to office. Take report from them about the sales performance this month and
plan for the next month.”
After
finished his words, he passed through Amy without second look. Amy was left
speechless. She really pissed off. How rude that man, leaving without
apologizing. She could not believe her bad day. A sudden calling from Kate
broke her fury. Her sister thunder tone made her more frustrated.
