Chapter 404 Meeting For A Wedding (Part Three)


    "Mom, I can understand you are just worried about me." I smiled reassuringly and said, "But you


    should also have faith on Aron. I know, he will never let me down."


    The reassuring words of I came as a soothing balm on the wounded heart of her mother. Yet it took


    Jina a few minutes to gather herself. After she calmed down, Joanna spoke, "It is our family''s


    responsibility to prepare for the wedding. You can just give the list of guests to us. Moreover, if you


    have any customs need to beplied with, please let us know. We are going to be a family very


    soon. Please don''t hesitate to tell us if you find anything inappropriate on our part."


    "Okay." Finally, there was a satisfying smile on Jina''s face. The situation became cheerful once again.


    All the people at the table began talking harmoniously with each other. The wedding was a much


    awaited auspicious moment not just for I and Aron but for both the families.


    Amidst all the cheers and niceties that were being shared among everyone, one soul that was still


    extremely distressed was that of Fiona. No matter how hard she tried to get along with the happy tide


    that flowed in the party, she could not stop worrying about the probable oue of the marriage on her


    and her son''s future. Mike promised a big gift to Aron on his wedding. Fiona guessed that the gift must


    be Mike''s share of thepany. Hence she tried with all her might to stop Aron from marrying.


    The very thought of Aron living a happy life was unbearable for her.


    "Jina, our family can take care of almost everything but... we have no idea about your local customs.


    We don''t want anything to fall short in our attempt to prepare for your family. I have discussed it with


    Aron and n to give you 8.88 million dors. If you think it is not enough, we can give more. So how


    do you think about it?" Joanna had discussed it for a long time and chose such a lucky number as the


    price for I''s gift. I was a very good girl for Aron. The money was just a token to show Aron and his


    family''s respect for her. And she deserved the money.


    "Mom, are you kidding?" Fiona let out a scream out of shock, "How could you give her so much


    money?"


    Indeed, 8.88 billion dors was a great amount of money for I''s family. They lived in a poor country


    and had never seen so much money before. When they heard this number, even they were shocked.


    But they decided not to ept it all because they didn''t need so much.


    "Shut up!" Albert pulled Fiona and said in a low voice, "Did you forget what father told us?"


    "Let me go!" Fiona disentangled herself from Albert''s hand and said, "If I don''t say anything, your


    parents will give all they have to Aron. So I won''t listen to you!"


    Then she turned to Joanna, "They are so poor. How could you give them so much money? They will


    never see so much money if you don''t give them. Coming from such a poor family, even I doesn''t


    deserve so much money. I think... it''s enough to give her eighty-eight thousand."


    "Shut up!" Joanna was enraged by her words and refuted, "I will be my grandson''s wife soon, I will


    not allow you to say such inappropriate words to hurt her feelings!"


    "Mom..." Fiona frowned and said, "I am saying this only for our family''s wellbeing! The people like I


    and her family do not need so much money! It looks like we are making a business deal with their


    family and we buy their daughter in such a hefty price."


    Mike was angered beyond words hearing such demeaning words from his daughter-inw. He threw


    his chopsticks to the ground out of rage. He shouted at Fiona, "Get out of here. Now! I don''t want to


    see you again!"


    "No, I won''t!" Fiona sneered, "You once showered all your love and concerns on Colin. But everything


    has changed ever since Aron came back to this family. You withdrew all your affection from Colin and


    gave to Aron. You have never treated Colin fairly all these years! Albert stopped me from saying these


    things to you and I listened to him."


    Then she added, "But now both of them have grown up ande to the marriageable age. The money


    you are going to use for Aron''s wedding belongs to Chen family and Colin! How could you use his


    money without his permission?!"


    Fiona insisted that Colin was the rightful heir to all the money that belonged to Mike and Joanna while


    Aron had no rights to use it.


    "Nonsense!" Enraged by her selfish words, Mike screamed at her. Deeply disappointed, he dismissed


    her opinion and said, "Both Colin and Aron are my grandsons and I have never treated them unfairly! I


    have given Colin everything he wanted. Even the apartment you bought recently! You are just too


    selfish!"


    "Colin is your grandson and he deserves that apartment!" Fiona sneered and said, "In a word, I won''t


    allow you to give I so much money! That''s it."


    "I don''t need your permission." Mike added, "This is my gift for I. It has nothing to do with you."


    "I..." Fiona wanted to say more but was interrupted by Mike and Joanna, "Albert, if you still take us as


    your parents, just take her out of here. I don''t want to see her."


    Albert looked at Fiona and then at his parents. He fell into a strange dilemma.


    He was ustomed to listening to Fiona''s opinion on every matter, but he didn''t dare do anything

    against Mike''s will especially when Mike was angry. After a long time of consideration, he said to Fiona,


    "Let''s go."


    He never wanted toe to this ce to begin with. He came along only because Fiona insisted on


    doing so.


    He didn''t think Aron''s wedding had anything to do with his or his son''s future.


    Fiona was utterly disappointed with Albert''s cowardness. She used him, "Coward! What have you


    done for me since I married you? Nothing! I did all these only for your son! If I don''t say anything, your


    parents will leave all their fortune to Aron. Then you will lose everything!"


    "Are you talking about how to divide my property after my death? Remember I''m still alive!" Mike


    sneered and said to Fiona, "Mark my words to be myst warning to you. If you don''t leave right now, I


    will give nothing to Colin after I die!"


    "Grandpa." Colin was distressed by the words of his grandfather. 8.8 million was a meagre amount for


    the Chen family and he was willing to give it to I as long as Mike changed his mind.


    He walked up towards Mike and helped him to sit down. Then he gave Mike a ss of water and said,


    "Sorry grandpa, don''t be angry. It''s bad for your health."


    When Mike calmed down, Colin said to Fiona, "Mom, please stop talking. It''s your fault to enrage


    grandpa!"


    "But I did that only for you..." Colin''s words hit her with a hard blow on her chest. Hurt and broken, she


    stammered, "Nobody in this family understands me! Nobody thanked me for what I did for this family!"


    "Enough now, just stop talking." Colin added, "Grandparents care more about Aron only because his


    parents are not alive and he needs more concern. But they treat me well and give me everything I


    want. It''s unfair to judge them in this way."
