Chapter 2211: About to Get Married
Editor: Atlas Studios
Qiao Mei took the newspaper and had a closer look. She was immediately shocked by the headline and read it out in a trembling voice, “The most promising wealthy businessman in Country M is about to marry actress Jessica!”
Most of the front page was taken up by a photo of Xia Zhe and Jessica. The two of them held hands blissfully as they attended a banquet together. The blond beauty and the frosty handsome man looked very compatible together.
“Mei Mei, you must stay calm! You have to believe that this isn’t true! This is just hype! These people in the entertainment industry love hype! You have to believe in Fang Chen. He won’t do anything to let you down!” Xia Wan said.
Gao Long looked at Xia Wan curiously. To them, Fang Chen should be the outsider. Why was Xia Wan speaking up for Fang Chen and so sure that Fang Chen would not hurt Qiao Mei?
Qiao Mei did not believe such entertainment news, but she still felt a little sad. She knew that Xia Zhe would never do anything to let her down. Previously, when she saw Su Rui pestering Xia Zhe, she did not take it seriously. After all, Su Rui was not capable enough to cause any trouble.
However, this time round, she felt a little uneasy. She had a feeling that this woman in the newspaper was not one to be dismissed lightly.
“Auntie Wang, bring me all the newspapers for the past six months,” Qiao Mei said calmly.
“There’s no need to go back half a year! Just… just two months will do,” Xia Wan whispered.
Jessica had done very well for herself in Country M and was an award-winning actress. At the same time, she was also quite famous in Country K and had plans to act in movies there. Xia Zhe was also currently building up his business in Country K and already had a few companies there. Coincidentally, both of them had their eyes on the same country.
The two of them could be considered to be of equal strength and could help each other out. This marriage alliance of the century had already dominated the front page of the newspapers for two months in a row. In fact, even when the two of them went out for a meal in a low profile manner, it still made the news.
Qiao Mei looked at all the newspapers on the table and sneered. These were no longer newspaper reports. This was clearly the “Diary of the Romance Between Fang Chen and Jessica”!
“Mei Mei, it’s really not what you think. He will never do anything to let you down! Definitely not! I can swear to the heavens!” Xia Wan said as she looked at Qiao Mei firmly.
Gao Long really could not stand it anymore. He grabbed Xia Wan’s hand and questioned her, “How are you able to make such a guarantee to Mei Mei! That person is a murderous demon! You don’t know anything about him since you haven’t interacted with him before! It’s very normal for a man to have a change of heart!”
Xia Wan could not tell Gao Long about her relationship with Xia Zhe. She turned around and glared at Gao Long as she said, “What do you mean by it’s very normal for a man to have a change of heart? Are all the men in the world the same! This is not true! Will you also have a change of heart?”
“What kind of correlation are you making! That’s not what I mean! Aren’t we talking about Fang Chen? Why are you talking about me!” Gao Long said in a panic.
“I want to talk about you! Get out! I don’t want to see you!” Xia Wan pushed Gao Long out of the room. Gao Long stood outside the door helplessly and shook his head. He still did not understand what he had done wrong.
Qiao Mei came to Xia Wan’s side and said, “Uncle was just too anxious and said something wrong. Elder Cousin, don’t be angry.”
“I know. I don’t know how to explain it to you and I don’t know how to explain our relationship to him! I… Sigh! What’s wrong with him! When I see him, I’ll definitely give him a good scolding! What kind of rubbish is this!” Xia Wan said angrily.
This was the first time Qiao Mei had seen Xia Wan get so angry after marrying into the Xia family for so long. She knew that Xia Wan was feeling sorry for her but that she wanted to defend Xia Zhe even more.
“Elder Cousin, don’t worry. I won’t think too much about it. I’ll find Xia Zhe and get him to explain himself,” Qiao Mei said.
“Yes! His meeting will end in two days! You can just go and look for him! You can leave the children to me. They’ll be very safe here,” Xia Wan said happily.
“Thank you, Elder Cousin. Please forgive Uncle too. He cares about you,” Qiao Mei said softly.
“I know. I’m just fed up with him. We’re fine,” Xia Wan said.
Xia Zhe was really stuck in a meeting during this period of time. The place was completely sealed off from the outside world and he could only bring one bodyguard with him. Xia Zhe only brought Xiao Bei and left everything outside to Da Dong. Before he left, he only said, “Take good care of Miss Pu Nan.”
Da Dong dialed the number that Xia Zhe had given him. Xia Wan picked up the phone and asked, “Why are you calling only now! Do you know that something big has happened!”
“What happened! My boss is in a meeting now and he told me to call this number. May I know what’s your relationship with Miss Pu Nan?” Da Dong asked.
