My sister ran away from her wedding. She didn't even show up at the ceremony and refused to marry into the Jiang family, escaping for the sake of true love.
Jiang Yehan lost face and became a laughingstock trending online. The president of Jiang Group was supposed to marry, but the bride fled on the spot; this news was explosive enough to stay at the top of the Trending Topics for several days.
I heard that yesterday at the airport, he got wind that Ye Zilan was missing and sent people to look for her everywhere. To make amends, my father specially hosted a dinner to apologize and invited Jiang Yehan to attend.
During the meal, my father sincerely apologized, asking him not to let this incident affect the business cooperation between our families. Although Jiang Yehan looked displeased, he remained polite, stating that this was merely a private matter between him and Ye Zilan and that he would not hold it against the the Ye Family or let it impact their collaboration.
Upon hearing this, my father felt relieved and called me over to introduce: "President Jiang, this is my youngest daughter, Ye Zixuan."
"This child just returned from Los Angeles and doesn't quite understand the ways of our country yet. If she offends you in any way, I hope President Jiang will be forgiving and take care of her."
Jiang Yehan glanced at me and nodded slightly, "I remember her."
Huh?
When those words came out, I started to feel uneasy. Seeing my father's confusion, he explained with a smile: "She was quite bold when I saw her at the airport."
"Back then, you were very arrogant."
Uh...
I indeed remembered that incident. After hearing this, my father awkwardly cleared his throat: "My daughter has a stubborn personality; please excuse her, President Jiang."
Jiang Yehan looked at me intently and smiled slightly: "Miss Ye has a straightforward personality; it's quite charming."
Heh.
Was he mocking me or complimenting me?
The meal left me feeling restless. Seizing a moment of distraction, I excused myself to go to the restroom and escaped from the awkward situation.
Standing in front of the sink, I pulled out my phone and messaged Chen Mengqi: "Sister, I ran into that Zombie Face at the airport. I'm having dinner with my dad, and I feel like he wants to get back at me."
"What's the big deal? Don't be scared; which man is that petty?" Chen Mengqi teased.
"By the way, I've got some trending material for you." I said with a mischievous smile.
Chen Mengqi is an editor at a newspaper, and she has been writing a series on Wealthy Family Elopement couples, struggling to find inspiration.
Soon, Chen Mengqi replied: "Spill it!"
I said, "My sister ran away from her wedding."
Chen Mengqi sent a shocked emoji: "Is that for real?"
I replied, "More real than gold. It happened today; check online, it's trending."
Chen Mengqi sent a hugging emoji: "That's great! I'm stuck on my writing. Sister, you're my savior."
I chuckled: "Hurry and post it; I'll support you."
Chen Mengqi responded: "I'll post it right away; go take a look."
After a moment, I opened Chen Mengqi's new article and was engrossed in it when suddenly a voice came from behind me: "What are you looking at?"
I jumped in surprise, nearly dropping my phone in the water.
Turning around, I was startled to see Jiang Yehan.
When did he show up? How did he come in without making a sound?
Feeling guilty, I locked my phone screen: "N-nothing."
I took a deep breath and pretended to wash my hands casually: "President Jiang, what a coincidence."
"Mm." Jiang Yehan replied quietly, his expression seemingly worse than before.
I recalled carefully and confirmed that I hadn't said anything wrong to offend him earlier.
So, I decided to ignore him and planned to head back after washing my hands.
But Jiang Yehan suddenly grabbed my arm with an icy tone: "You seem quite happy?"
I was taken aback and blinked in confusion: "Huh?"
Jiang Yehan frowned and said, "You seem quite happy about your sister running away from her wedding."
I was once again caught off guard by his words and could only awkwardly explain, "Well, I was born with a tendency to smile."
I decided to shake off his hand and turned back to the private room.
