Chapter 6 Just A Marriage Of Convenience (2/2)

Six years passed. She remained quiet, gaining a reputation in the army as a tough-as-nails colonel. When she walked into his life again, Edward fell in love with this woman...

be polite, since it was the first time that they had met each other.

Harrison Shen nodded and said, ”Since you've already gotten the marriage certificate, find a good time for the wedding ceremony.”

Before Cherry Shen and Jackson Chu could respond, Jade Qiao hurriedly interjected, ”Cherry Shen, since you are going to marry him, get out of the house and never come back again and…”

Jade Qiao added, ”I don't have any money to prepare for your dowry. You will have to do it by yourself.”

Cherry Shen lowered her head and did not say anything. She had always known that Jade Qiao wouldn't give her a penny.

Jackson Chu was not as calm as Cherry Shen was. He was furious that his woman had been treated like this for more than twenty years. Jade Qiao was just the daughter of an investment group's boss. The Chu Clan could make that investment group disappear from the city overnight. How dared she bully his woman!

”Aunt, my family would be responsible for all these affairs, since Cherry and I are getting married. So you only need to take part in the wedding party.” said Jackson, coldly and haughtily.

Jade Qiao did not want to let him get off the hook that easily. She said, ”How much bride price do you want to pay? Marrying a girl of Shen Clan won't be cheap.”

Jade Qiao started to praise Cherry Shen. This had never happened before, ”Cherry is excellent, both in appearance and figure. Even though she dresses plainly now, she will be on par with those girls from noble families if you buy fabulous clothes for her. You are really lucky to marry her. You will pay more for her, won't you?”

Jackson Chu glared at Jade Qiao, whose intentions were so obvious. Slowly and emphatically, he said, ”Of course, I will pay a bride price and it will be generous.”

Hearing his words, Jade Qiao was thrilled. She had never expected that Cherry Shen would bring her a large sum of money.

But Jackson Chu's next words deflated her happiness.

”However, I will pay the bride price only to Cherry's mother. Obviously, you are not her.” Jackson Chu looked at Jade Qiao and relished the sight of her crestfallen face.

”You!” Jade Qiao felt too angry to say anything more.

Jean Shen, however, impatiently said, ”Forget it. The bride price is not important at all. We are not lacking in money. Take that bitch away. We have had enough of her lodging in our house for so many years!”

Bitch? Lodge?

Jean Shen's words made Jackson Chu's blood boil. He shifted his gaze from Jade Qiao to her and growled, ”Watch your words, Jean Shen!”

Jean Shen was now too scared to say anything more. Jackson Chu was very powerful. His military background and his temperament made him a difficult person to deal with.

Harrison Shen and Jade Qiao were also scared of him. Members of Chu family were born superior in courage to others.

Jackson Chu felt bad seeing how the woman standing next to him had been treated. He couldn't imagine that she had been living in such a family for so many years.

”Cherry, go pack up. I am taking you away now.” said Jackson Chu.

Cherry Shen looked up at him and nodded. Instead of anger or indifference, there was only obedience in her eyes.

She quickly went upstairs, packed up her important things, and went downstairs carrying a small suitcase.

Taking the suitcase and holding her hand, Jackson Chu went out of Shen's house with Cherry Shen.

In the background, followed the voice of Jade Qiao, ”Cherry Shen, don't ever come back. You'd better die outside.”

Cherry Shen burst into tears. She couldn't help it. She had left the hellish family, but she was not sure what was waiting for her ahead.
