CHAPTER 510
"This is our love, right?" When she nodded he continued.
"Then let's fight for it. Be as strong-headed as you were before and I'll be as logical as I can. They have to accept what is between us."
Ning Xiaozhi nodded and wiped her tears. She moved in for hug and Ye Chaoxiang welcomed it. They stayed like that for quite a long time.
Feeling calm and collected, they left the room together. Soon lunch was served and they all ate.
~The living room~
"Uhm, momma. Is mum with grandpa at the mansion?" Bai Renxiang asked Mrs Li.
She has noticed when she came down from her room that her mother was not with them. She had thought that she would come by later. But now it was almost the evening and Jiang Meilin was still absent.
"Oh honey. Your mother is out on a date and would not be available till later in the evening," Mrs Li answered and giggled.
Bai Renxiang found her action a bit weird plus the fact that she heard her say a date.
"What date? Wait, mum is seeing someone?" She asked.
"Not just seeing, dear. She is in love," Mrs Ye said in a sing-song voice causing the three women to chuckle like teenage girls.
Bai Renxiang gasped and placed a hand over her mouth. Her eyes widened in surprise. Her mother? In love with who? On a date?
She quickly picked her phone from the centre table and searched for her mother's number. But Mrs Li held her hands to stop her. When Bai Renxiang gave her a questioning look, the woman shook her head.
"Don't even bother because it is no use. We also tried to call her before we came. But it turns out that she does not want to be disturbed," Mrs Li said.
"But what if something happens to her?"
"Nothing can happen to her. I doubt if any one dangerous would approach them because that man can be by far intimidating to even danger itself," Mrs Yang replied.
"That's right. Besides, your grandpa has men following her plus he has his own army of bodyguards," Mrs Ye added.
"What he does he do to make him having an army of bodyguards following him?" Li Fengjin asked with raised brows.
"Nothing actually. He is a simple investor in business," Mrs Li answered with a shrug.
"Just that?" Yang Chen asked.
"And a retired general," Mrs Yang said.
"Oh!" Everyone exclaimed and slowly nodded their heads.
It is no wonder he is well guarded. Soldiers get involved in dangerous happenings and sometimes... revenge seeks them out.
"Nonetheless, she is fine. Let her at least enjoy the spring that is already blooming for her," Mrs Li said and let out a happy sigh.
Later that day, the oldies left to the Jiang mansion. Li Fengjin and the rest wanted them to at least day the night but they strongly refused.
"Aigo! If we stay with you all, who will accompany our in-law, Mr Jiang?" Mr Li asked.
"Exactly. Besides, you guys are more here. It is only fair we, the elderly stay together no you, youngsters do the same," Mr Ye added.
"Yes. Plus, we enjoy the old man's company as he enjoys ours."
"And not to forget, the delicious tea Charlie makes," Mrs Yang added to Mrs Ye's words.
"Fine, fine. You can go. No need to rub it on our faces," Li Fengjin whined
Ye Chaoxiang: "Have a safe trip back."
Wang Tingxiao: "Good night."
After seeing to it that their cars drove safely out it the compound, the three guys went back in. The ladies were clearing the table and doing the dishes.
So they sat in the living room.
"So, when are you and Ning Xiaozhi deciding to travel to City Z?" Li Fengjin asked Ye Chaoxiang.
"Next tomorrow. Although now I am thinking if tomorrow so that we can just get things over with," Ye Chaoxiang answered.
"Have you gotten any information on that family? Don't get me wrong but it is good to know about the people you will be dealing with," Yang Chen explained his point.
"I did a little," Ye Chaoxiang nodded. "Xiaozhi's family own a booming business there that deals with importation and exportation of different goods. Also, they are into the real estate business."
"Now that is quite an interesting business," Wang Tingxiao chipped in.
"It is."
"What category of the real estate are they into?" Yang Wenkai asked.
"All of it. The residential, commercial, industrial, special use. And now they are delving into raw land," Ye Chaoxiang listed.
"Woah! That is much. And kind of dangerous too," Yang Chen pointed out.
"It is. And that is the reason why they brought about this arranged marriage. The man they chose as her suitor... His family deals with the real estate that concerns raw lands. In fact, two of the real estate they are in are benefits of arranged marriage," Ye Chaoxiang said.
"So, Ning Xiaozhi had other siblings or–"
"Cousins. All males to be precise. The first, Ning Yi, married by choice. He solely decided to handle the import and export business. The second from her mother's side, is Hao Yingjie. Married the daughter of a family dealing with the real estate business of commercial."
"The third, Ning Li Qiang. Married the daughter of a family dealing with the real estate business of special use. And they dote exceptionally on Xiaozhi," he concluded.
"So, are the other two cousins happy with their arranged marriage?" Wang Tingxiao asked.
"The second is. But the third took a few years before it worked out and now they are into each other," Ye Chaoxiang replied.
"Maybe that's why they are arranging one for her," Yang Wenkai reasoned.
"But the fact that it worked out for them, doesn't mean it will for Xiaozhi. I'm not trying to wish her any bad luck but what is good for one might be bad for another."
