Chapter 10 The Last Person She Wanted To Meet (2/2)

Marrying Daniel should have been her best birthday gift, but everything was ruined the moment when she caught him sleeping with another woman on the day before her birthday.

“He’s going to marry that woman! She... was my best friend!”

eel suffocated. Cherry Shen snapped, bitterly, ”Hey, we are not officially married yet. Chief Chu, you are minding too much of my business! I am wondering once I become your wife, are you going to put shackles on me?”

”Cherry Shen, you should bear in mind that you are the wife of a soldier. You belong to me, Jackson Chu.” Jackson Chu replied, his teeth clenched.

”I am not yours.” With these words, Cherry Shen turned her face and looked outside the window. She thought of him as a mere passenger in her life. She wouldn't bother herself with him too much.

He dropped her by the entrance of the bar and raced away. As he drove back to the army base, he called someone to investigate her background.

”I need all the information available on Cherry Shen, asap.”

”Yes, sir.”

Cherry Shen and Emily Xia sat at the corner of the bar, happily chatting with each other.

Every time Cherry Shen dropped by to see her, Emily Xia found excuses to skip her shift. She wanted to talk with her best friend. The two had endless secrets to share.

Emily Xia listened to Cherry Shen's story with her eyes wide open, ”Are you for real? You are going to get married soon and you are going to marry a solider?”

Cherry Shen nodded calmly and said, ”His name is Jackson Chu.”

”Jackson Chu? You mean Mr. Chu from the Chu family?” Emily Xia was completely astonished by this fact.

”What? You know him?” Cherry Shen was surprised that Emily Xia knew her future husband.

”Who doesn't? We are talking about Jackson Chu, the man all unmarried women in our city desire! He has a military background and his family is powerful and wealthy. Who doesn't want to marry him?!” Emily Xia excitedly covered her mouth.

Cherry Shen thought for a second and gave her a bitter smile, ”So, it seems that I got myself a good deal.”

”Cherry Shen, you daft girl. He is not just a good deal. He is your lucky man!” Emily Xia nudged her. This silly Cherry, she had no idea about the kind of happiness that awaited her!

Emily Xia continued, ”Cherry, he is more reliable than John Ye. Numerous women have tried to be his lover. However, he has rarely had any affairs. Therefore, you are really lucky to have him.”

”So, is he a decent man?” To be honest, Cherry Shen had no feelings for Jackson Chu. She couldn't tell if he was a good man or not. She just had no interest in knowing him at all.

”Of course, he is a decent man.” Emily Xia shook her head and tried to convince her daft friend, ”I am telling you, Cherry, you need to seize the opportunity. You don't need to marry the lieutenant governor as you now have the military chief as an option. You should get over the nephew and aim for the uncle. You need to show John Ye and Jean Shen what you are capable of achieving!”

As soon as John Ye and Jean Shen were mentioned, Cherry Shen's expression changed. She was still angered by their betrayal. Her heart was full of vengeance. She must show them how happy she could be without them.

They sat there and chatted a while longer. Then Emily Xia returned to her work. Cherry Shen sat alone on the sofa in the corner, occasionally sipping red wine from her glass. She looked at the people dancing on the floor, as her mind began to wander.

Suddenly, she could smell alcohol near her. A second later, a drunken man sat down right next to her.

Cherry Shen was genuinely annoyed by his move. She had seen many drunken men before at the bar. However, it was the first time someone had impolitely sat next to her without even asking.

She was about to push him away, but her hands stopped midair. The man sitting next to her was John Ye.

His face was so familiar, and yet he looked so distant.

John Ye rudely grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms. She could feel warm air on her face as he angrily murmured, ”My dear Cherry, why did you leave me? How could you leave me like that?”

Cherry Shen struggled to escape from his embrace. She yelled at him, ”Leave me alone. John Ye, I am your aunt now. You should behave yourself!”
