Chapter 6: Engagement
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
This time, it was Jiang Li’s turn to be stunned.
Fu Jiuxiao was not going to ask anything?
He did not ask her how she knew about the beta drug, and how she could get it?
In Jiang Li’s previous life, Fu Jiuxiao had never married anyone and did not seem to have a person in mind. Thus, Jiang Li felt that he would agree to marry her.
However, he… was too straightforward!
What was worse was that he even smiled!
A smile was extremely rare on Fu Jiuxiao. That smile just now, although fleeting, was enough to make people stunned for a long time.
Jiang Li was still in a daze, but Fu Jiuxiao had already taken off his suit and leaned over to cover her body, covering the collar that was torn by Jiang Man just now.
“Since you are mine, don’t show it to anyone else.”
Fu Jiuxiao’s voice was calm, and it hid his bias and possessiveness toward her that others could not tell.
‘Jiang Li.’
‘I thought about letting you go, but you came to my side on your own.’
‘So, don’t blame me… For not letting you go again.’
Jiang Li raised an eyebrow in surprise.
Fu Jiuxiao turned to Old Master Fu. “Haven’t you been looking for a woman who can take care of me? She’s the one.”
Everyone was stunned and started discussing in low voices.
“If I didn’t hear wrongly, did Master Fu just agree to the engagement?!”
“What the hell? Not only did Ninth Master not throw Miss Jiang away, but he even put clothes on her… Doesn’t Ninth Master have germaphobia? !”
Even Old Master Fu was shocked and became serious. “Are you sure? Marriage is not a child’s play. Little Li is not some random girl.”
Jiang Li could not help but feel a warmth in her heart when she heard this. Old Master Fu was afraid that she would suffer.
However, Old Master Fu doubted Fu Jiuxiao for the sake of her, which clearly violated Fu Jiuxiao’s taboo.
Afraid that the two of them would have a misunderstanding, Jiang Li was ready to speak.
She did not expect Fu Jiuxiao to have such a rare good temper this time, and his thin lips revealed a smile.
“I will naturally treat my people well.”
Fu Jiuxiao opened his mouth and said, “With you around, this marriage is set.”
Jiang Li had a complicated feeling in her heart. She did have selfish motives in marrying Fu Jiuxiao, but she would definitely cure his leg and repay him for protecting her in her previous life.
After receiving Fu Jiuxiao’s promise, Old Master Fu’s doubts were dispelled. He let out a sigh of relief and felt satisfied at the same time.
That was great. The two that he valued the most were actually eyeing each other.
Old Master Fu turned to Father Jiang. “Then the marriage is set. President Jiang, you don’t have any objections, right?”
Father Jiang’s jaw had just closed. When he met Old Master Fu’s serious expression, he could only nod.
Jiang Li knew that her father would not refuse. After all, the Fu family was a high branch that he could not reach even in eight lifetimes. It would be a great honor to be Fu Jiuxiao’s father-in-law.
Even though he did not love Jiang Li, it was still his daughter that was getting married.
“That’s great. I think the 18th of next month will be a good day. The engagement party will be held first, and I will announce the marriage between the two families to the public.”
“Yes, yes, everything will be decided by you, Old Master Fu.”
Father Jiang hurriedly nodded. Those who did not know would think that he was a servant of the Fu family.
Old Master Fu and Father Jiang settled the marriage in a few words.
On the other hand, Mother Jiang, Jiang Man, Fu Yunze, and the others were panicking.
Especially Jiang Man, her delicate little face was almost distorted from anger.
“What the hell is going on? Clearly, that girl’s reputation should be ruined. I should be the young lady of the Fu family. What on Earth is Ninth Master thinking…”
“Manman, keep your voice down. Don’t let anyone hear you. We can’t afford to offend Ninth Master.”Mother Jiang was so scared that her face turned pale.
Jiang Man did not listen to her at all. The anger on her face grew stronger.
“Besides, if Ninth Master marries Jiang Li, won’t he become Young Master Fu’s Elder? How can I marry him then? The seniority is messed up. Won’t that cut off my path to the Fu Family?”
She was still very dissatisfied. Suddenly, she shrieked, “No, no!”
Her voice, for the first time ever, attracted everyone’s attention. Why was this delicate and charming second daughter of the Jiang family suddenly acting like a shrew?
“Manman…”
Mother Jiang went forward to grab her. The marriage could be arranged slowly. The most important thing was to preserve Jiang Man’s reputation.
Unfortunately, when Jiang Manman swung her arm, she almost fell to the ground.
“Are you all confused? Jiang Li was fooling around with other men just now, and now she can actually enter the Fu family’s door? This is simply a disgrace to the Jiang family and the Fu Family!”
