Chapter 145 Selfish
"What?" Wu Ziliang asked after seeing their grim expressions.
"What is it?"
Old Man Wu clenched his jaw before he started telling Wu Ziliang about the events that happened at the summit.
"Really?" Wu Ziliang asked, her eyes wide. Unable to believe her father"s words. "How could she do that to us?"
For Wu Ziliang what happened was Jiang Yue"s fault. How could it be her niece"s fault?
"Well... she did. And she will get five percent of the company"s shares." Wu Sheng answered.
"Is that a serious deal? I mean we could tell her to just give them to me as a wedding gift." Wu Ziliang said before she widened her eyes. "Right! That is such a good idea! I can just ask Minghua to do that for me!"
"ZIliang... did you just hear our words? Jiang Yue and the w.a.n.g Family are extremely dangerous." Old Man Wu said.
"Dangerous? What can she do? Type some foreign codes? Where is the danger there?" She reasoned. "Hmmm... I should meet with Minghua to discuss my wedding and Huo Huo... oh wait! I was going to visit his room... Now, look at what you did. This stories could wait... Now I am late for my appointment with my husband." She said before getting up and rus.h.i.+ng towards the door.
"Ziliang... w.a.n.g Huo is not here in the hotel or at the summit." Wu Sheng"s words immediately halted Wu Ziliang"s steps.
"What do you mean? How could he not be here?"
"Jiang Yue already informed us that he will not attend this summit. Remember?" Wu Sheng said.
"I know he will not attend the summit but he needs to attend the engagement announcement. If I can"t see him then I will just go to w.a.n.g Minghua and asked the shares back.
Wu Ziliang rushed out of the suite before the duo could stop her.
"What are we going to do now?" Wu Sheng asked his father. They needed to cancel this engagement.
"Go and drag your sister back." Old Man Wu said before pouring himself another cup of coffee...
After a few minutes, Wu Sheng and Wu Ziliang came back, almost shouting at each other.
"Why do you have to act like a good little brother all the time? I am your sister! You cannot treat me as your daughter!" Wu Ziliang fumed.
"I told you to listen to me... we are not done talking, you can"t just go and see whoever you want to see!"
"I am not just seeing anyone! I am going to see my future son!"
"Okay... You two stop it. We need to talk!" Old Man Wu interrupted.
Wu Ziliang took a seat while pouting. She seriously needed to leave the Wu Household soon and live at w.a.n.g"s estate. She cannot let these people treat her like a child, when she is already a matured married woman.
"Ziliang... we need to cancel this engagement." Old Man Wu said after a few seconds.
Wu ZIliang immediately c.o.c.ked her head towards her father, as she furrowed her brows.
"I"m sorry... what did you say?"
This time it was Wu Sheng who answered her question.
"We can"t continue with this engagement Ziliang... not with Jiang Yue looking at us like her prey."
"Wait... did you say, cancel my engagement? You mean... no engagement? No wedding?" She asked, her face turning purple then green before it paled. It was as if a bucket of ice cold water was poured on her whole body as her father"s words echoed inside her head.
Cancel the engagement...
Cancel the wedding...
"Ziliang calm yourself. This is a necessity after what had happened at this summit." Old Man Wu calmly said. "We can just look for another way to have w.a.n.g Huo marry you. But for now... we need to cancel it."
"What are you talking about? Why are we going to cancel my marriage?" She asked, her eyes slowly turning red.
"Ziliang... listen. This is just temporary, I will have you marry that man soon. But not now. We need to solve this problem first." her father explained.
"What!? No! Why should I suffer when it was clearly you who caused this? I will never cancel this marriage! Never!"
"Sister... you need to listen to us. Stop acting like a spoiled brat and listen! This is for your own good! Who knows what kind of trap she is laying for us! For you!"
"I SAID NO! I will not cancel this engagement unless w.a.n.g Huo canceled it first. Which he did not!" She insisted. "Father, why are you doing this? I waited for this moment more than fifteen years! w.a.n.g Huo is mine! He will marry me no matter what!"
"You... listen to yourself. You sound like an extremely crazy person! Can"t you use your brain and think about it?"
"What is there to think about? I did not do anything wrong. It was you and your son, as well as your stupid granddaughter who provoked Jiang Yue." Wu Ziliang said while pointing her fingers at Wu Sheng and Old Man Wu.
"I did not do anything wrong. Why should I suffer with you? Your company can sink for all I care! I am the future matriarch of the w.a.n.g Family!"
"You... You are the most selfish person that I know! How can you not care about your family?" Wu Sheng bellowed, his patience was running out.
"Family? Is this a family? Then why are you trying to prevent my wedding? When this is my happiness. My wis.h.!.+ Is this how you treat a family?"
