Instead of immediately reaching for his clothes, he reached for the invitation and flipped through it.
The invitations have been filled out with the wedding time and hotel address, even the guest list has been written. The time is next month.
The handwriting is very elegant and doesn’t look like Joey Xu’s handwriting.
Sister An watched her look fascinated, so she said, “This is what Ms. Zhao has written here over the past few days, it’s more than 100 sheets, I’ve been busy all morning and haven’t had time to pack it up yet.”
It was written by Jo Yuanyuan.
Not unexpected.
Sammy Jones forced a smile, covered the invitation and put it back. She noticed that Zhao Yuan Yuan’s suitcase was still sitting in the corner, and there were many pairs of girl’s high heels on the shoe rack.
All of this was reminding her of the fact that this villa already had a female owner. Moreover, it was obvious that Zhao Yuanyuan had moved in here a long time ago, and her presence here was not only out of place, but was even no different from a third party …
Taking a deep breath, she hugged her clothes and went to change. Sister Ann had already prepared breakfast, but she no longer had any intention of eating it.
“I’ll pass on breakfast, I’ve got a little business on my hands and I’ve got to get going.” Sammy Jones said goodbye to Ann.
Sister Ann was serving her porridge, when she heard this, she put down her spoon, “Don’t, Miss Jones, if you don’t have an appetite, go and lie down for a little while longer, I can see that you were quite sick last night.”
“No more lying down, one only gets more uncomfortable after lying down for a long time.”
“But… Mr. Xu gave special instructions when he left, saying that you should wait at home until he returns. He wants to personally send you back.” Sister An relayed Joey Xu’s meaning.
Sammy Jones laughed a little, “Sister Ann, Joey Xu is going to Zhao’s house, right?”
As if she hadn’t expected Sammy Jones to ask in such a direct manner, Sister Ann was slightly stunned for a split second before nodding, “Well, that’s what it says.”
Sammy Jones breathed out, trying to sweep some of the haze from his mind, but, opening his mouth, his tone was still just as low, “I’m clear then. You don’t need to be busy, I’m in a hurry, so I’ll leave first.”
“Miss Jones, it’s really hard for me and Mr. Xu to explain if you leave like this. Why don’t you make a call with Mr. Xu!” Sister An advised.
Sammy Jones had walked to the foyer to change her shoes, and when she entered, Zhao Yuan Yuan’s high heels stung her eyes and tightened them.
She raised her head and looked at Sister An, ”No more fighting. You also know that Joey Xu and Ms. Zhao are getting married next month, and it’s really uncharacteristic for me to be here and stick my nose between the two of them. And … I don’t want to destroy them either.”
Sister An sighed, “I can’t say anything as an outsider when it comes to feelings.”
Sammy Jones smiled weakly, changed his shoes, and headed out the door.
Walked out, not forgetting to look back at the villa behind him.
Goodbye, Joey Xu!
After next month, he’ll be a married man …
Sammy Jones astringent deep breath, did not linger, reached out to stop the car. After the rain, the sun is unusually bright, but, standing there, she is like all covered with gloom, especially miserable …
As soon as Joey Xu and Goodben enter the door of Zhao’s house, they feel the intense high pressure.
The entire hall was filled with people at the moment, as if it was going to be a trial. In addition to the head of the family, Zhao Jiangyan, there was also Zhao Yuanyuan’s mother, Ji Qingyue, and in the middle of them sat Zhao Yuanyuan whose eyes were swollen like a pair of walnuts. At the moment, Zhao Yuanyuan still had her head down and was constantly sobbing.
And on the other side of the couch sat Zhao Lanlan and her husband, Xia Feiqing.
Since the moment Joey Xu entered the door, Xia Feiqing’s hand on Zhao Lanlan’s waist had been clasped tightly, obviously declaring his sovereignty with Joey Xu.
And Joey Xu?
The line of sight just lingered on Zhao Lanlan’s face for a moment and did not ripple. Until this moment, Joey Xu suddenly understood the words that Zhao Lanlan said to him yesterday. Originally, I don’t know when he started, in his heart, there is no longer Zhao Lanlan this person.
Even seeing the image of her and Xia Feiqing intimately together no longer stirred the waves in her heart. He couldn’t help but think of the image of Sammy Jones and Luo Mingfan together, remembering the way she was embraced by Luo Mingfan, and he still felt angry now.
“Everyone is so early.” Joey Xu was the first to speak, breaking the silence in the hall. He stood there in a straight line, with a dignified appearance, and even though he looked as if he was on the verge of a three-courtroom trial at the moment, he was still calm and unhurried.
“It’s not because of you that we got up so early.” Zhao Jiangyan snorted coldly.
“The late generation is terrified.” Joey Xu replied without losing his poise.
“I thought that my brother-in-law was an infatuation, but I didn’t expect that he was also suave.” The one who spoke at this time was Xia Feiqing. When he spoke, he always contained a light smile and a sparse expression, but he deliberately bit the word ‘brother-in-law’ extremely heavily, and did not forget to glance sideways at his wife, who was lost in thought at his side, “Lanlan, you have known each other for so long, can you see that he would bully his little sister like this?”
Zhao Lanlan glanced at Joey Xu and exchanged glances with him before she said, “Dad, since Joey Xu is here today, it would be good to make things clear. Originally, I didn’t support him marrying Yuan Yuan.”
As the words fell, he only felt the hand on his waist, unexpectedly heavy.
The force was so strong that it looked like it was going to break her back.
“Sis! You’re too selfish!” This was followed by Zhao Yuanyuan’s disgruntled complaint, “How can you make me lose so much face just because you like him.”
Seeing that her sister had all misunderstood her, a touch of hurt crossed Zhao Lanlan’s face. She suddenly didn’t dare to look at Xia Feiqing’s complexion beside her, and only defended herself, “That’s not what I meant!”
But who would believe it?
“What do you mean it’s not that? Sis, I know, you’ve always liked Joey Xu, but wasn’t it you who didn’t want him first? I also truly like Joey Xu, I want to marry him!” Zhao Yuanyuan said here, her voice has choked, sight to Joey Xu, eyes flooded with tears, and condescending, and deep love, “Joey Xu, Sammy Jones thing, as long as there is no next time, I can not care about it … ”
Joey Xu glanced at the injured Zhao Lanlan and didn’t ignore Xia Feiqing’s secret embarrassment towards her, her brow furrowed, “You don’t have to make things difficult for Lanlan, she’s right, my engagement with Yuan Yuan was a mistake from start to finish.”
Zhao Jiangyan’s face stiffened.
Ji Qing Yue’s face also collapsed, “What mistake? Joey Xu, you were the one who first said you wanted to marry Yuan Yuan in the first place. You should be thankful that we don’t care that you had a crush on Lan Lan in the past and are willing to marry our daughter to you, and now you’re saying something about mistakes, what do you think you are!”
What Ji Qingyue said was also acerbic. In her opinion, Joey Xu’s background was not worthy of their serious bookish family.
“Mom!” Zhao Lanlan found this hard to hear and stood up expansively.
“Mom what mom, sit down!” Ji Qingyue reprimanded again.
Xia Feiqing’s hands were already taut beyond words, but he smiled and followed and got up, pressing Zhao Lanlan back down onto the sofa, “Good boy, mom is not talking about your husband me, no need to be so excited.”
His tone, so gentle that he could putty out of water, even his expression was gentle. Only, that voice inexplicably made Zhao Lanlan feel frightened and shivered, hanging her heart, not daring to speak out of turn, but only allowing him to press and sit back on the sofa.
In response to Ji Qing Yue’s mean words, Joey Xu, who was the person involved, was conversely much calmer than Zhao Lanlan. She just hit the snake and said as if she didn’t care, “So, in order not to aggravate Yuan Yuan, I have come here today to withdraw from the marriage.”
“Withdrawal?” Zhao Yuanyuan’s tears rolled out of her eyes at once, “I don’t want it. Joey Xu, I don’t agree to withdraw from the marriage!”
“Good book.”
Joey Xu acted as if he couldn’t hear the pleading in her tone and simply called out towards the back.
Goodburn rested a money box box on a low table and opened it in front of them.
“Here’s two million dollars as compensation for backing out of the marriage.”
Zhao Jiangyan and Ji Qingyue looked at each other. Two million dollars, it wasn’t a small amount.
Zhao Yuanyuan’s face changed, and she closed the money box with a snap, “Joey Xu, you’re too much of a bully! Do you think this two million dollars can buy my reputation, my face?”
Now that she’s getting out of the marriage, Zhao Yuanyuan naturally can’t pretend to be in front of Joey Xu anymore, and all of her temperament and temper are coming out.
In the face of her questioning, Joey Xu remained unperturbed.
Shan Ben gently pushed another set of jewelry boxes in front of Ji Qing Yue, “This is what our husband specially picked out to give to you, Madam Zhao.”
Ji Qing Yue’s eyes went straight when she took a look at the jewelry.
“Man! Is this the ‘Aqua Sunset’ that was auctioned off at the last Paris jewelry auction for an outrageous price?!”
The blue gemstone and red gemstone embellished set of jewelry is something how many people want but can’t get.
Ji Qing Yue was instantly moved, her excitement written all over her face. Shan Ben nodded, “Mrs. Zhao has a good eye.”
Joey Xu took out a USB flash drive from his pocket and pushed it to Zhao Jiangyan, “This is the whereabouts of the leader of the biggest smuggling case in the past few years, Uncle Zhao, you should be clear, with this to get promoted, it must be an easy task.”
As soon as Zhao Jiangyan heard that it was this, he immediately reached for it.
“This information is true?”
“Wouldn’t it be clear if you tried?”
The couple’s faces were clearly shaken. Zhao Yuanyuan covered the jewelry box again, “Dad, Mom! Don’t be compelled, I’m your daughter now, and the fact that my wedding is going to be canceled is a matter that brings shame to you as well! How can you guys not make a decision for me?”
Zhao Jiangyan was calculating in his heart. If they canceled this engagement, it would definitely be a good deal for them to get so much in return from Joey Xu.
“Yuan Yuan, don’t be stubborn. It seems that Joey Xu has come to apologize to us sincerely.” Ji Qingyue was obviously shaken like her husband.
“Mom!” Zhao Yuanyuan yelled low and unwillingly.
Joey Xu hooked his lips. He had always done a good job of treating the symptoms.
“Okay, okay, Yuan Yuan, sit down.” Zhao Jiangyan pulled his daughter to sit down.
Zhao Yuanyuan twisted her body and refused to sit down, and was pushed right down by Zhao’s mother.
“Since both of you mean the same as me, I won’t linger.” Joey Xu glanced at the time and thought to himself that Sammy Jones was afraid that he had already woken up. Zhao Jiangyan stood up to see Joey Xu off, “If this thing really gives me great credit, I’ll have to treat you to a meal.”
“If Uncle Zhao really gets promoted again, it must be a latecomer who invites you.”
“Well, in that case, I’m welcome.”
Anyway, the invitations have not been sent out, not many people know about their wedding, now the Zhao family is not too shameful. Zhao Jiangyan calculated in his heart, this wedding canceled how is not a loss.
When Zhao Jiangyan sent Joey Xu out, Zhao Yuanyuan grabbed the money in the money box and threw it on the ground. She threw it all over the place, and still felt unwilling, she went to grab the ‘Blue Sea Sunset’ and threw it again. Ji Qing Yue immediately protected the jewelry in her arms, rising up expansively to scold Zhao Yuanyuan, ”What are you still making a scene for? It’s not like Joey Xu is the only man in the world, turn around and let your brother-in-law introduce you to a serious family.”
