Chapter 6 Just A Marriage Of Convenience


    The next day, when Cherry Shen reached the café, she saw that Jackson Chu was already sitting at


    the same table. She walked over to him.


    Sitting down, Cherry Shen took her household register and ID card out of the bag, and gave them to


    him.


    Jackson Chu took the household register and ID card and said, "It will probably take a week or so for


    the military to approve our marriage."


    "It''s okay. I can wait." said Cherry Shen. She waved her hand indifferently. It appeared as if she did not


    care about this marriage.


    Cherry Shen''s indifference enraged Jackson Chu. He was angry that the woman was ignoring him and


    their marriage.


    Cherry Shen did not want to stay here any longer. She hade here only to hand over the household


    register and ID card.


    "Then I am leaving. I have something else to do." said Cherry Shen. With these words, she stood up


    and was about to leave.


    Seeing her leave, Jackson Chu immediately stood up, grabbed her arm and pinned her against the


    wall. He looked at her closely and she could feel his breath.


    "Why do you want to marry me if you don''t love me?" said Jackson Chu coldly, with a hint of arrogance.


    He did not know why he cared about her feelings. He wondered whether she still loved his nephew.


    Cherry Shen looked calmly at him and asked, "Do you love me?"


    Her question surprised Jackson Chu. His heart ached. Love?


    Cherry Shen smiled and continued, "Why bother asking this question if we do not love each other?"


    "You''ll be my wife." said Jackson Chu firmly. For him, a wife was someone who would be with him for


    the rest of his life.


    "Since it is only a marriage of convenience, does the title of wife really matter?" said Cherry Shen,


    tly.


    "Cherry Shen!" Jackson was irritated by this woman. Why was her heart so cold? Why was she so


    indifferent to him?


    Cherry Shen suddenly remembered something. She said, "Well, Mr. Chu, I have to tell you that I''m not


    a virgin. If you mind it, we can only nominally be a couple."


    Recalling the night she lost her virginity, Jackson Chu''s anger diminished a bit. It was clear that she did


    not know he was the one who had taken her virginity. Jackson Chu could remember that night clearly. If


    they weren''t in the coffee shop, he would have done it again.


    Jackson Chu looked at Cherry Shen and firmly insisted, "You have to be faithful to me, now that you


    want to marry me."


    ''Cherry Shen, I''m your first man and will be the only man in your life.'' thought Jackson Chu.


    Having obtained the marriage certificate, Jackson Chu and Cherry Shen nned to meet their parents.


    They would first visit the Shen''s house and then Chu''s house.


    In Shen''s house, when Harrison Shen learned that Jackson Chu was the grandson of Andrew Chu,


    who was highly influential in the army, he was pleased with the marriage. Chu n had a powerful


    influence on the entire city, and Harrison Shen believed that it would help the growth of the Shen


    Group.


    Jackson Chu and Cherry Shen stood in front of Harrison Shen and Jade Qiao. Jean Shen stood by the


    side. She was looking at Jackson Chu.


    Sensing the heavy atmosphere, Jackson Chu said nothing. He had already investigated Shen n,


    and knew about Cherry Shen''s status in it.

    Looking at Jackson Chu, who was in military uniform and looked as gentlemanly as John Ye, Jade


    Qiao suddenly felt envious of Cherry Shen. ''Why is this bitch always so lucky?'' thought Jade Qiao.


    "Dad, aunt, this is Jackson Chu." Cherry Shen spoke up and broke the awkward silence.


    "Uncle, aunt, how are you doing?" Jackson Chu calmly greeted them. Even though he knew that they


    had treated Cherry Shen badly, he still had to 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 nevere 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 n 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 n 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 inly 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 red 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


    But Jackson Chu''s next words deted 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


    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 evere 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.
