Missing You Deeply - Chapter 36
Chapter 36: Forced to Marry him (6)
Three years ago, she lied to me. Now, three years later, her tricks are still exactly the same. To think that I actually haven’t learned my lesson and nearly believed her again.
He just didn’t expect Su Wanwan to actually dare to provoke him again. She blatantly plotted against me. Does she really think I’ll let her off so easily as I did in the past?
Pei Munian’s hands tightened around the paper and the paper crinkled up. His lips were pressed together tightly and his handsome face was stormy.
Then he turned around, returned to the dining room, and reached the dining table in a few long strides. He threw the newspaper in his hand onto the dining table and his black eyes looked at Mother Pei. His lips curled up and he said in a cold voice, “Mom, didn’t you want me to find a woman to marry?”
He paused for a moment. His slender fingers tapped on the spread-out newspaper lightly and he enunciated every word as he said, “Let it be her then.”
–
Su Zhenhua talked to Mrs. Pei for about five minutes before hanging up the phone. Although Su Wanwan didn’t hear what Mrs. Pei had said on the phone, she felt extremely uneasy from the bits and pieces of Su Zhenhua’s replies that she had heard…
Sure enough, Su Zhenhua said to her with a smile on his face, “Mrs. Pei invited us to meet the evening after tomorrow to discuss your and Pei Munian’s wedding.”
Upon hearing Su Zhenhua’s words, Su Wanwan’s eyes widened bit by bit and her mind went completely blank.
“Mine and… Pei Munian’s… Wedding? H-he wants to marry me?” Su Wanwan murmured in disbelief, her mind in utter chaos.
Pei Munian wants to marry me? How could that be…?
Su Zhenhua nodded affirmatively. “Yes, Pei Munian said he would take responsibility for you and marry you.”
He’s going to take responsibility for me and marry me. If it were three years ago, she would’ve been wild with joy and agreed without the slightest hesitation, but now, there was only endless fear and confusion in her heart.
He clearly misunderstood me and obviously hates me. Yet, he still wants to marry me?
Why?
But… no matter what his reason is, it certainly isn’t because of love.
Su Wanwan lowered her gaze and she bit down on her lower lip hard. Then she mumbled, “Grandpa… I-I don’t want to marry him.”
Su Zhenhua was still in an ecstatic mood when Su Wanwan’s words unexpectedly rang out all of a sudden. He was stunned for a moment. After which, his eyes narrowed and his voice turned solemn again. “What did you say?”
His voice wasn’t loud, but it was extremely imposing.
Su Wanwan’s heart shook involuntarily and her fists clenched tightly. She paused for a few seconds. Then her red lips parted and she repeated herself: “Grandpa, I don’t want to marry Pei Munian. There are no feelings between us at all…”
Su Zhenhua scoffed as if he had heard something ridiculous. “Feelings? Wanwan, after guiding you for so many years, are these useless things the only thoughts in your mind? You very well know what kind of situation the company is in now. The main thing you should be thinking about now is how to save the company instead of these ridiculous feelings of romance. As long as you marry Pei Munian, the company can survive. Do you understand that?”
“But Grandpa, didn’t you say before that if I didn’t want it, you’d respect my decision…”
“That was one situation and this is another!”
Su Zhenhua didn’t hesitate to interrupt Su Wanwan. He said sternly, “The Gong Family is nothing compared to the Pei Family. The Gong Family could only help us out temporarily, but the Pei Family can help our family stand up again and be even stronger than before.”
Of course Su Wanwan understood what Su Zhenhua meant and she wasn’t against making sacrifices for the company. After all, she had promised her parents to protect the Su Corporation and the Su Family, even if that meant sacrificing her marriage. She could marry anybody—just not Pei Munian!
