Chapter Twenty Five"What? When? To whom?" These were the questions that were running inside the secretary's head. Their boss had always been single with no women around him, just some fortunate female employees who were privileged to work next to him.Wait! That female Mrs Chen said that no females were allowed close to him, they should stay 5 meters apart from him. Were they going to loose their jobs since the lady boss didn't like females being close to the boss?Seeing how devastated the female secretaries were, Assistant Lu felt comfored . He was really shocked by the news of his boss getting married even if he was the closest person to Jin Chen in the company. Was boss planning on firing him? He didn't want that though, he has always enjoyed working with Jin Chen that he would not want to leave. He hoped his boss was not planning in releasing him.Since he was Jin Chen's personal assistant, he had his own office, special assistant privileges. He would usually deal with confident
What followed was the figure of an elegant woman walking out of the elevator with bold steps towards the president’s office. Everyone was so stunned that that no one could react as they looked at the woman with a mask on and glasses on her face. Even though she was covering her face, one could tell that she was a beauty.Before they could come back to their senses, the woman was already inside Jin Chen’s office.‘Who was that woman?’‘She really walked in here like she owned the place.’‘And why were all stunned that no one could do anything? We are doomed today.’‘Boss Chen is really going to kill us. We just watched as a strange woman barge into his office without doing anything.’‘Maybe that was Mrs. Chen. She has just made her stance clear few minutes ago and now she’s here, telling us that she really does exist!’Everyone was worried about themselves because if at all that woman was not expected by their boss, then they were really in great trouble. But they hoped that she really
"No. I actually loved it and seeing you here in my office makes me feel even better," Jin Chen was really happy when she came to his office to see him. Even she had said that she would make it up to him after she didn't allow him to get off the car in the morning, he never thought she would go to such lengths."I told you I'd make it up to you. And since I've created such a huge commotion, I'm sure everyone will know soon that you're officially off the market," even if the people didn't know it was her, Yang Lifei, the two concerned families that she was dealing with will automatically know, and that was her target."If you say now, I'll just announce it to everyone," Jin Chen really wanted everyone also to know that Yang Lifei was off the market too and that she was his, but he wanted to take everything at her own pace."Give me this week, by the end of it, you can do whatever you can do that," Yang Lifei still wanted to organize herself in this one week and focus on whatever she had
"Chen, I don't know what to prepare for mother's birthday and it's already here," Yang Lifei said to Jin Chen who helplessly shook his head. It was still a week away from his mother's birthday but Yang Lifei had been very restless about it. They had just gotten back from the Yang's for the weekend and were preparing for bed but Yang Lifei couldn't let the matter at rest.The Yangs had insisted on them spending the weekend at home even after going there on the third day of their marriage so they had gone there on Friday after leaving the office. Her parents had mentioned the birthday celebration on Friday and Yang Lifei had not been able to relax since then. It was not her fault though. In her last life, the birthday celebration had come after she had a fallout with Jin Chen, so she only picked something at random for Jin Chen's mother. That had led to her humiliation and people said how she was not a considerate daughter in law. Madam Jin didn't actually mind because she knew the sit
"What did that old man say to you that made you so red?" Jin Chen had been in the bathroom while Yang Lifei was talking to his mother. He knew how his mother would get chummy with his wife and would take long on the call so he left them alone only to come back and find his wife's face all red."Nothing Chen. Are you done?" Yang Lifei couldn't tell Jin Chen what his father had said so she decided to change the topic. She was already red enough."Are you sure?" Seeing Yang Lifei avoiding his eyes, Jin Chen knew that his father might have teased her. If it was just his mother, Yang Lifei could not have been so flustered because they have been spending a lot of time on the phone that they almost looked like sisters gossiping about everything almost everything."Yes, yes. Let's get to bed. We have to be in the office tomorrow morning," she quickly got under the covers to hide her face."Alright wifey," Jin Chen decided to let her off. But he still wondered what his father might have said to
"Fei'er, where are we going?" She was excited to know where her daughter in law wanted to take her. Immediately after getting inside car, this was the first question that she asked."Mother, didn't you sleep well last night? You look tired," even though she had tried to cover it with make up, Yang Lifei could still see the dark circles under her eyes."See Fei'er, I was so excited last night that I couldn't sleep. Your father said that I was being silly but I scolded him so he left me alone but he couldn't sleep as well. Can you imagine that old man? He said that he couldn't fall asleep if I didn't so he stayed up with me until in the morning," Madam Jin was so excited that she rambled on and on to Yang Lifei making her laugh."You guys are already so old but still so loving," their relationship was really enviable. It was just like her parents. But this was something that did not end so well in the previous lifetime. They all met some unfortunate endings. She wouldn't want a repeat.
She would always come here to shop with Xue Li after it was introduced to her by her mother. She would buy nice things ranging from clothes, bags, shoes, jewelry and so on for Xue Li but she was still ungrateful at the end bit her back. Since her eyes had been opened, she would not be fooled again. Whatever Xue Li got in the previous lifetime and in this lifetime before she was reborn, that's all she could enjoy. She would not get any more chances in the future."Welcome Madam Jin, Miss Yang," they were greeted by the manager as soon as they got inside the store. Although not many knew about the store, the few who knew it were from influential families so the manager would always be there to welcome them."Thank you Suzy," Madam Jin replied with a smile. She was very familiar with the manager here. Suzy knew how to treat everybody just right, she would not judge anyone and would always stay fair to anyone who came to the store."Miss Yang, your friend is already here and she's in your
"But we are friends Feifei and you said before that I could even bring my friends whenever I wanted," why are things going the opposite direction? Xue Li despised the looks she was receiving from those minions. She looked towards Madam Jin only to find her looking at Yang Lifei with a smile. It was the face of a proud mother. She was in support of whatever Yang Lifei was doing and Xue Li didn't think she would win today."Well, that privilege has ended already. Now take your friends and scram," seeing the smile on Yang Lifei's face, Xue Li knew that she was dead serious. It could have been better if she had on her cold expression, then she might still had a chance. But a smiling Yang Lifei was a different person."What? Feifei, are we not friends anymore?" Xue Li's tears were almost falling, thanks to her acting career, she knew when to shed tears. If Madam Jin could see how Yang Lifei can be vicious to her friends, then she might have a change of mind about her daughter in law.She h
"Okay, Mr know it all. Time to go to bed. We have a lot of activities tomorrow," Yang Lifei said to Jin Chen who was still holding onto her and resting his head on her shoulder."Of course my wife. Even this night, there are a lot of activities as well,"Jin Chen said and then scooped Yang Lifei in his hands before making his way towards their bed. They really had a long night ahead of them.***The couple was awakened the next morning by the insistent knocks by Jin Chen's mother. Although Yang Lifei was still sleeping, Jin Chen had woken up earlier. Even if he slept really late, he would normally be up by 6.30 latest. Since they had had a long night, Yang Lifei was so exhausted that she was still asleep by 8. Jin Chen just laid beside her the whole time she was sleeping until they were interrupted by the knocking on the door.Jin Chen definitely knew that his mother was the culprit. In the whole Jin family, only his mother had the guts to knock on his door. When his mother had started
"Grandma, " Jin Chen called his grandmother out. His grandmother would not lower his points in front of his wife, he won't allow it."Yes my dear," Old Madam Jin answered him with a smile like she wasn't teasing him a moment ago."My wife knows me so well, more than you do and she's still in love with me," Jin Chen said with a smug smile leaving the old lady gaping at him like an idiot. Indeed Yang Lifei even made him know how to be smug and joke around."Darling, may God bless where you came from, you're such a blessing to us," Old Madam Jin said to Yang Lifei with a kind smile."Come on grandma, you're making me embarrassed with all the praises," Yang Lifei said with a shy smile but she knew that the old lady really meant what she said. Even herself had noticed how much Jin Chen had changed when they get along amicably compared to their relationship in the past life."Come on child, you know we mean it," the old man told Yang Lifei too. Whatever these two old bones said regarding Ya
Since Yang Lifei never attended the Jin family gatherings, she never met them and after Madam Jin's birthday party, she never wished to see the Jin family members again."Old Master, she looks just like her grandmother when she was still young," Old Madam Jin said to the Old Master."Yes, if not for her being too young, one might think it's her," Old Master Jin also commented on the resemblance between Yang Lifei and her paternal grandmother. Yang Lifei's grandmother had been a very beautiful young lady back then and had given the Old Master of the Yang family a hard time while chasing her and even had to face a lot of competition from other men including Old Master Jin but eventually, Old Master Yang had been the final winner of her heart and even got married to her.The old generation of these two families had been friends since before and so they knew each other very well. And both of them understood how Yang Lifei really resembled her grandmother. If only she were alive to see tha
Seeing how excited Madam Jin was, Yang Lifei didn't wait for Jin Chen to go together, so she went up the stairs to meet her before she could break away from Master Jin. When she finished the last stair, Master Jin couldn't hold onto Madam Jin anymore and she broke free engulfing Yang Lifei in a tight hug. Although the would talk every night before going to bed, Madam Jin felt like she hadn't seen Yang Lifei in like forever."I missed you too mother," Yang Lifei said as she returned the overwhelming hug of Madam Jin. From day one, Madam Jin liked her and this always made her feel overwhelmed with a lot of emotions and from the fact that she never returned her feelings in the past life always made her feel guilty."I told you honey, Fei'r should have been my child instead of him. A child should know how to miss their mother but him, hmph," Madam Jin said to Master Jin as she looked at Jin Chen who just reached where they were. Jin Chen heard what his mother said but wasn't bothered at
They actually liked the present VP than the past one who would stare at them and one would feel chills. She used to be so scary that making a mistake regarding work in the company, you would light candles before facing her if you had to do it. At least now, one would feel at ease knowing that the vice president is not as scary as she was before. Whatever Jin Chen was doing to her, he should continue because maybe in the near future, she wouldn't be cold anymore but would be as bright as sunshine.The week went faster than Yang Lifei had expected. Before she knew it, it was already Friday evening and Jin Chen was driving then to the Jin family residence. Since the next day was Madam Jin's birthday party, the elders of the Jin family had insisted that they spend the night before the party at the residence. They had thought about arriving on the next day and make a grand entrance but the elders wouldn't allow it."Chen I'm very nervous," Yang Lifei was indeed nervous that she could even
When Yang Lifei and Jin Chen finally left Hilda Jones place, Yang Lifei was really happy about the outcome of their meeting. At least she could finally feel at ease because she had settled the issue of getting Madam Jin's birthday present. Seeing how Yang Lifei was happy, Jin Chen knew just how much convincing Hilda Jones to come to his mother's birthday party was very important to Yang Lifei. She was adamant on changing how things happened in their last life and that made him happy too because he knew they would have a better and marriege life in this present lifetime."Happy?" Jin Chen finally asked the happy Yang Lifei."Very. Chen you don't know but after hearing why your godmother and mother never met again in the last life, I'm glad that we took this initiative to invite her to mother's birthday. Who knew they'd be so crazy to make such a bet? I wish we had known earlier," Yang Lifei spoke faster without even catching a breath in between her words. One could tell the excitement
"Indeed she's a charmer. But how did you know you were going to be invited inside?" Hilda Jones couldn't help but be curious seeing how confident Jin Chen was."Because I'm your godson. Meeting my wife means meeting me so it was about time I get invited to the party, don't you think?" His look was full of mischief like whatever he was saying was justified."Haha, I can't deal with you son, you're impossible," Hilda couldn't help but laugh at Jin Chen's reply. Even Yang Lifei looked at him amused. Not only was he close to Hilda but he was also very talkative in front of her! That was a lot of surprises in one day already."How's your family doing?" Jin Chen asked Hilda an obvious question that she knew that Jin Chen had the answer already. He really was pretending to be aloof with everyone outside there but inside he was full of mischief."Even without me knowing, you've been ok touch with them, haven't you?" Hilda Jones after getting married had given birth to a daughter, Annie Mathew
Yang Lifei looked at Hilda with curious eyes as she removed the invitation from the envelope. She wanted to capture all the expressions on her face and all the emotions in her eyes but she didn’t see the shock she had been expecting.Hilda was not surprised or shocked like she had been expecting but was rather amused. When she removed the invitation from the envelope and saw that it was not a design but rather an invitation but it was not your normal day invitation. The invitation was written;"Dear Miss Hilda Jones, you're specially invited to Madam Tang Ning's birthday party as a gift. Thank you for your consideration.""That Jin guy is really unpredictable. I never thought he would used such a method to get me to meet his mother," Hilda Jones commented as she put the invite on the table and picked her cup of coffee to take a sip. It had been brought by one of the maids immediately after they had sat down."Well, it's quite strange. You guys were good friends, still are, just from t
“I had Yang come with my work here and I’ll just have the meeting in the car, don’t worry about me go on,” Jin Chen assured her and Yang Lifei looked at Lin Yang who nodded his head indicating that he had indeed came with Jin Chen’s work.“If it takes too long, I’ll just tell you to go without me. I’ll have my driver pick me up when I’m done then,” she didn’t want to be the reason Jin Chen wouldn’t be able to do his work. She could just call her driver later and let him pick her or rather her assistant than let Jin Chen wait for her the whole time. That wouldn’t be fair to him or his responsibilities.“You won’t be gone for long love, trust me,” he was sure about that.Knowing that Jin Chen wouldn’t relent, Yang Lifei decided to go ahead, he could be hard headed sometimes. She made her way towards the gate and Jin Chen stood watching until Yang Lifei had been us
