Remarriage to a Rich Famliy

At noon Cheng Lydia and Chung Grace were scheduled to meet inside a hot pot restaurant downtown.

Cheng Lydia surveyed a fully clothed Chung Grace and smiled, “Your fans would be disappointed in you if they saw you crammed into a restaurant like this for hot pot, right?”

“So I don’t have to let them recognize me.” Chung Grace hooked a finger at her, “Come on, I hit the booths.”

As the two sat down and ordered their food, Chung Grace scanned Cheng Lydia and said, “I see you’re in a good mood today, getting along well with Shen Ron?”

“Make do.” Cheng Lydia took a sip from her cup of tea.

“Just getting by?”

“Or else.”

“And yes, men who have their first love hanging on to their hearts are the most annoying.” Chung Grace sighed disdainfully.

Cheng Lydia looked at her and mentally wondered what she meant by that, and whether she knew that a woman named Yang June also lived in Gu William’s heart.

She really wanted to tell her that fact if she could, but would she back down from it? Surely not.

She asked casually, “What about you and Gu William? How are things going?”

“Pretty good.” Chung Grace smiled, “Men, sometimes they have to earn it, Gu William has a lot of women around him, but I will try to be the closest one to him.”

“How do I fight for it?” Cheng Lydia doesn’t understand this.

“Like being a little more proactive and positive yourself.” Chung Grace suddenly looked at her and asked, “By the way, they’re having a reunion tomorrow night, are you going?”

“A reunion? I didn’t hear Ron say that.” Cheng Lydia said in surprise.

“It doesn’t seem like he wants to take you.” Chung Grace sighed, “See, this is the time to test his sincerity, if he truly loves you, of course he’ll take you everywhere.”

Cheng Lydia’s heart sank, straight is that so …?

“Maybe … he just wanted to talk to his old classmates himself.”

“NO, every single one of them will be there with a partner.” Chung Grace gave her a piece of meat, and her heart grew sad for her.

“Gu William is going to take you there?” She asked.

“Not going to, but I softly asked to go with him.”

A soft touch? Is this what she meant by taking the initiative? Would that work? Would it backfire?

Cheng Lydia doesn’t know, because she’s never tried to actively pursue a man.

“Honey, you asked Ron to take you with him, to get his heart you first have to break into his camp and master his connections. You don’t have to feel sorry for Yang June, since she’ll never wake up and doesn’t have a few years to live, let her be quietly a thing of the past.”

When she didn’t say anything, Chung Grace added, “Have you read a foreign novel called Butterfly Dreams, in which the main character is like you, living in the shadow of the hero’s dead ex-wife all the time, tossing himself into the ground, it’s so unworthy.”

In the evening, Cheng Lydia helped Shen Ron change the medicine and bandage the wound before slowly and methodically packing the medicine box. She hesitated for a long time before looking up and staring at Shen Ron and asking, “I heard you have a reunion tomorrow night?”

“Well, I won’t be back for dinner tomorrow night.” Shen Ron replied casually as he flicked the TV on with the crank.

“How many people went?”

“Not many, some out of town that couldn’t make it, plus family members about fifty or so.”

“You’re not going to bring family?”

Shen Ron finally turned his attention to her, sizing her up, “Who do you think I should take with me?”

Cheng Lydia stared at him with a straight face and pointed a finger at herself.

Shen Ron grew more and more astonished, his puzzled eyes still surveying her.

Did he hear it right? Cheng Lydia, who never liked to attend events, especially not with him, actually volunteered to go to the reunion with him this time?

He’d seen it the last time he was in Japan; these kinds of parties were simply torture for her.

There was another point, the reunion would definitely be without Gu William, and he didn’t want Cheng Lydia to meet up with Gu William. Of course there is the most important point, if she goes, she will only be treated as Yang June, which is the most repulsive thing to her.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to bring her present, he just didn’t want to make her feel bad about it.

“What? No?” A hint of disappointment crossed Cheng Lydia’s eyes.

Shen Ron closed his gaze on her and said, “I don’t care, it’s because I’m afraid you’ll feel embarrassed, after all … you know, every one of them thinks you’re June.”

Yes, it was the hardest thing for her to accept, she felt extremely uncomfortable whenever she thought about that party in Japan, and she really didn’t want to go through it again.

But Chung Grace is right, she wants to get into his heart by first getting into his circle of life.

What does a hard night matter if it brings you closer to him as a result?

“It’s okay with me.” She said.

Her gaze was determined, not at all like she was joking.

Shen Ron looked at her for a moment of hesitation before asking, “Why do you want to go?”

“There’s nothing to do after work anyway, go have some fun.”

“Yes, I’ll pick you up tomorrow.”

“It’s better if I pick you up.” Cheng Lydia gestured to his injured wrist.

The venue for the reunion was set at the Star Hyatt.

Starjoy, the place where Shen Ron and Cheng Lydia first met.

As she stepped into the hotel lobby, Cheng Lydia was still blushing a little, and she stole a sideways glance at Shen Ron, and found him with an elegant face and a light smile, as if he had completely forgotten the old affair.

She took a deep breath and tightened her small hand around his arm, forcing herself to learn his submissiveness.

That incident was so long ago that it really shouldn’t be remembered or cared about anymore.

Not to let Shen Ron lose face at the reunion, Cheng Lydia used the afternoon to go shopping with Chung Grace to pick up this chic, drop-dead gorgeous lake colored dress.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Her hair was lightly pulled back, and her crystal earrings and necklace were not extravagant or flashy, but they matched the dress she was wearing.

The floor was booked in the revolving restaurant on the top floor and the two arrived at the elevator room just in time to run into Gu William and Chung Grace who were preparing to go upstairs.

The two young men looked at each other, and after greeting each other with a leathery smile, they stopped looking at each other.

It was Chung Grace who, after greeting the two with a smile when she saw them enter, dropped her gaze on Shen Ron and joked, “Ron is extra handsome today, like an honored prince.”

“Is it? Are you sure it’s not a demon?” Shen Ron raised a slight eyebrow at her, displeasure evident under his eyes.

Chung Grace opened her mouth, slightly confused for a moment.

She looked over at Cheng Lydia, who pursed her lips to hold back a smile.

The elevator door opened and Cheng Lydia and Shen Ron stepped in first.

Chung Grace, who finally got the message, went in after her, jumping to her feet and hissing at Cheng Lydia, “Cheng Lydia you heartless, how dare you show our private messages to your husband?”

In between yelling, he even used his hands to choke Cheng Lydia.

Cheng Lydia said innocently while dodging her clutches, “Ron was the one who grabbed it to look at it.”

Chung Grace as it were turned to Shen Ron who shrugged his shoulders at her in disbelief and said, “It’s called no secrets between a couple.”

“Tch, I didn’t realize you guys were this close to each other.” Chung Grace mockingly swept the duo and took a step back to wrap her arm around Gu William, filling the room with laughter, “It’s better for my Master Gu to never look at my phone.”

Gu William swept her head sideways, stroking the back of her hand, smiling a little in a trance.

The elevator soon reached the top floor, the entire restaurant was wrapped up for the night, and by the time the four stepped into the restaurant, the people inside had pretty much arrived.

From a distance, Cheng Lydia saw Duan Hannah in a floor-length dress talking to some ladies about life in Japan, while her husband, Mr. Yamamoto, sat quietly in the corner, intentionally tasting the food.

At the sight of her, Cheng Lydia’s heart involuntarily tightened; although this Duan Hannah was married, she had had feelings for both Shen Ron and Gu William, and had attacked her unkindly and unobtrusively the last time they had met, so I wondered if there would be a repeat of old times tonight.

Duan Hannah saw the four enter and immediately greeted them with a smile, “Yo, didn’t Ron say that Ms. Yang wasn’t available to come, I thought she really couldn’t come.”

“Ah … and this is …” Duan Hannah turned to Chung Grace and sized her up, “Miss Shih, the popular star, wow, it’s the first time I’m face to face with a star, it feels like a dream.”

The body turned again and punched the smiling Gu William in the chest: “Tsk … Master Gu you bad guy, do you have a unique hobby for female celebrities? This year’s newcomers are popular one to pick up one, and are not afraid to owe a sinful debt next life can not be beyond life.”

Gu William smiled and put his arm around Chung Grace’s shoulders and told her, “Don’t say that, my girlfriend will get jealous.”

“How come? I don’t see Miss Shi as being that petty, right Miss Shi.”

“A man is not a bad man, a woman is not a woman.” Chung Grace smiled.

“See, I told you Miss Shi wouldn’t mind” Duan Hannah turned to say, “By the way, Miss Muzi asked me to bring you a good word that she’ll be coming to China in a few days and to get you ready to receive her.”

“I will.” Gu William was still smiling with a wabi-sabi face, and Chung Grace’s face, however, was paling little by little.

Cheng Lydia came over and took Chung Grace’s arm smiling lightly, “Come on, let’s go get something to eat first.”

Looks like Duan Hannah’s target tonight is not her, but Chung Grace.

With Chung Grace’s personality, Cheng Lydia was really afraid that she would sulk and make a scene.

Last night Shen Ron said some people who were out of town would not be attending the reunion and she took it for granted that Duan Hannah, who was far away in Japan, would not be attending for sure, to her surprise …

Had she known that, she should have advised Chung Grace not to come yesterday instead of listening to Chung Grace’s advice and begging Shen Ron to bring herself along.

Chung Grace held back and was about to leave with Cheng Lydia when Duan Hannah called out to her with a big smile, “Wait a minute, Miss Shi, I haven’t taken a picture with a celebrity yet, can you take a picture?”

Duan Hannah said already pulling her phone out of her handbag and pulling up the photo function.

Chung Grace looked at her and curved her lips into a smile, “A star is just a normal person, what’s there to take a picture of, why don’t I take a picture of you with Master Gu, to keep as a reminder for the future, it’s not in vain that you’ve been secretly thinking about Master Gu for so many years.”

While speaking, Chung Grace had grabbed her phone and pushed her towards Master Gu’s arms, Duan Hannah was pushed and stumbled, falling unceremoniously into Gu William’s arms.

With a ‘click’, an intimate group photo was instantly created.

Ignoring Duan Hannah’s grimace, Chung Grace turned to Yamamoto and handed the phone towards him, “Not bad for my care skills, Mr. Yamamoto, huh?”

Yamamoto-san’s face, too, was ugly as hell for a moment.
