What About Marriage?
Clear Clarification
When the Four Seasons security guard Cloudy Peak saw Jiang Jin's car being stopped by the paparazzi, one of them came to take a look and persuaded the paparazzi to leave.
Meanwhile, after Jiang Jin entered the car, he patted Ye Xin's hand and said, “Ye Xin, look, isn't this simple? The paparazzi are only after you because it is the nature of their work. As long as you tell them what they want to know, they will naturally stop bothering you. How awesome? I've clearly clarified the matter to them so that they won't write an unreasonable article about you and Mu Chen in the future. I know popular stars like you don't like getting involved in scandals so I'm clarifying this matter to you to save you from trouble!”
It seemed like Jiang Jin was kindly giving Ye Xin advice on how to deal with the paparazzi.
However, Ye Xin felt her heart turn cold at this moment.
Seeing Ye Xin's lack of response, Jiang Jin patted Ye Xin's hand again and asked, “Don't you think so, Ye Xin?”
With these words, Ye Xin finally regained her senses. She felt as if she had exhausted all her strength as she calmed down and asked, “Grandmother, are you saying Mu Chen is married?”
Jiang Jin nodded enthusiastically. He said with a barely hidden excitement, “That's right! Mu Chen had always been a wise and filial grandson. He said he would surprise me. Let me tell you, Ye Xin, I am so happy that even my health has improved by leaps and bounds. Otherwise, I wouldn't even have the energy to invite you shopping today. If you see something you like later, tell me. I'll buy it for you!”
Apart from the words ‘It was true’, Ye Xin sifted through the rest of Jiang Jin's words. “When Mu Chen got married?”
Jiang Jin thought about it for a moment, trying to remember the exact date, before he said, “New last Monday.”
‘Senin then? Isn't that the day Mu Chen asked Chen Che to call me?’ With this in mind, Ye Xin came to the conclusion that Mu Chen had only married as a pretense. Now that he had calmed down, he decided he would not tell the truth to the jubilant Jiang Jin in front of him. Jiang Jin was Mu Chen's grandmother. When he married Mu Chen in the future, he still had to rely on Jiang Jin. Everyone knew only Jiang Jin was capable of subduing a stubborn man like Mu Chen. Therefore, he needed to flatter and win Jiang Jin's heart. If he carefully nurtured his relationship with Jiang Jin, it would definitely be his ace in the future.
At this moment, as if he had just realized something was wrong with Ye Xin, Jiang Jin asked, “Ye Xin, why are your hands so cold?”
Ye Xin calmed herself down and forced a smile on her face. “Grandma, I feel a little unwell. Probably because of jet lag.”
Jiang Jin asked, “What's up? Do you want to go to the hospital?”
Jiang Jin hurriedly nodded. “Shopping is not important; your health is more important.” Then, he looked towards the driver and said, “Wang, please send Miss Ye home.”
…
As soon as Ye Xin returned to her house, she locked herself in her room and tried to remember everything that happened.
That day, Cheng Che called her and explained that Mu Chen wanted to marry her for reasons just to comfort her grandmother. She has made it clear that they will get a divorce once her grandmother's health improves. He was willing to give away half of his wealth after their divorce.
He refused it at that time. Even if they are just pretending, they still have to register their marriage officially. At that time, he could not get married because he was still waiting for the results of the award.
He had been acting cautiously all this time. She has even convinced her brother to eliminate his dark past, which cost her a fortune. He needs everything to be perfect.
At that time, he had planned to marry Mu Chen after he won the award. Then, she would announce their marriage at the right time. If timed carefully, he would definitely become an A-list star. Therefore, he decided to wait for a few months. Jiang Jin had been sick for a long time; it didn't matter if Jiang Jin had to wait a little longer. When the time comes, he will ask his sister for help, and everything will be settled.
Unfortunately, contrary to his expectations, Cheng Che did not call out to him anymore. At that moment, she was worried that Mu Chen would personally call her and beg her to marry him. If that happened, he really had no idea what he was going to do. After all, Mu Chen had never asked anyone for help in his entire life, and he could bear to reject her altogether if he personally asked for her help. Therefore, he was rather happy that he did not receive a call from Mu Chen back then. He only managed to relax after two days.
Ye Xin was very confident that Mu Chen was waiting for her. After all, other than her, who wants a business wedding? Moreover, he was always picky in terms of women. Even if she was desperate to get married for the sake of her grandmother, she would not randomly choose a woman to marry. Moreover, her grandmother was smart; an ordinary woman would not be able to fool her.
Nevertheless, despite his certainty and confidence, he still felt anxious. By then, he was already impatient to receive the award and go home. To his chagrin, not only did he not win the award, but once he returned home, he received the news that Mu Chen was married!
He knew he had made a big mistake and missed a big chance. With this thought, she shouted and swept everything on the dressing table in front of her onto the ground.
