Chapter 2220: You Will Regret It
"Is your elder sister getting married? Who's the groom?" Qiao Mei asked as she looked at Daniel.
"Of course it's the person standing next to my sister!" Daniel said as he pointed at Xia Zhe.
Jessica could not help but roll her eyes at Qiao Mei. How could such a stupid woman exist? She was a famous award-winning actress! Everyone in Country M must know all about her recent news!
Xia Zhe immediately stepped forward and said, "No, I'm not. I've rejected you many times, but you still insist on doing whatever you want. I've said before that I can give you anything except marriage."
"Why! Am I not good enough for you! Fang Chen, don't be so ungrateful!" Jessica said domineeringly.
She had always been treated like a high and mighty princess wherever she went. Alan had also brought up Jessica like a princess since she was young. Be it musical instruments, sports, languages, dance or other skills, Jessica excelled in everything and felt that she deserved to be -called a princess, so she never showed any respect to anyone.
"I don't want to have to repeat what I just said," Xia Zhe said.
"If you don't want to repeat it, then agree to my request. This way, I won't need to keep talking about it!" Jessica said.
Qiao Mei was shocked by Jessica's logic. She did not expect that someone could come up with this train of thought. No wonder Xia Zhe could not get rid of Jessica even after two months. If it was her, she would not be able to resolve this matter either.
"I don't care if you love me or not. You have to marry me! It doesn't matter even if it's a fake marriage!" Jessica said willfully.
"I'm sorry, I can't do it." After saying that, Xia Zhe turned around to leave. He was worried that if he continued to stay here, Qiao Mei would teach him a lesson when she got home.
Jessica pointed at the main door and roared, "Butler! Close the door! Ask all our men to come over and surround him! Let's see if you dare to leave my house!"
"Why must you go to this extent?" Xia Zhe asked.
"I only ask that we get married. If you don't like the idea of a troublesome banquet, how about we tell everyone that we're doing a destination wedding? We just need to make an announcement that we're already married," Jessica took a deep breath and said calmly. Qiao Mei looked at Jessica in shock. She did not expect Jessica to be willing to compromise so much. It seemed that Jessica really loved Xia Zhe very much.
Only Xia Zhe knew that Jessica was only putting on an act. She did not love him and only wanted to find someone to marry her. She was already 30 years old this year. When she was in her 20s, Alan had gone around looking for a partner for her. If not for the fact that she had run away to work overseas, she might have already given birth to three or four children by now!
In the beginning, Xia Zhe had made use of her to get close to Alan. However, later on, Alan told her to keep Xia Zhe by her side. At first, she did not think that there was anything special about Xia Zhe. She thought of him as a nouveau riche who got lucky. However, as she gradually got to know him, she started to like him. It was not as if she fell madly in love with him. She just felt that he was different from other men.
"I like you and I want to marry you," Jessica said.
"But I don't like you. I'm even quite sick of you. I definitely won't marry you. You should give up," Xia Zhe said.
Everyone there was stunned. They did not expect Xia Zhe to say such harsh words to Jessica. This was way too hurtful!
The thugs eyed Xia Zhe suspiciously. Could it be that the man in front of them was blind? This was Jessica! Such a graceful figure! Such a beautiful face! Yet Xia Zhe did not like her!
"Is that the truth?" Jessica asked.
"Yes," Xia Zhe said firmly.
This was the second time that someone had embarrassed her in public. She would never let Xia Zhe off. She returned to the bedroom, changed out of the wedding dress and headed out.
"You will definitely regret this," Jessica said.
"Um... looks like I have come at a bad time. Let's talk about our issue another day." Qiao Mei wanted to leave after saying that, but Daniel stopped her.
"It doesn't take a lot of time to choose a car! What happened today has nothing to do with you. My sister won't vent her anger on you, so don't worry. I've already tended to my wounds. Let's go choose a car now!" Daniel said.
"In that case... alright," Qiao Mei said helplessly.
Xia Zhe followed them out of the villa and towards the garage. It was Alan's private garage and there were dozens of sports cars parked inside. There were Daniel's cars, but also cars which belonged to Alan and Jessica.
The outermost parking spaces were reserved for guests. Xia Zhe's car was parked in this area and he could not go further in. At this point, there was no reason for him to stay around anymore, but he was worried that it would be dangerous for Qiao Mei to be alone with Daniel. He was now caught between a rock and a hard place.
