What was going on ? Her mind was invaded by thousand details, budgets, stores to visit, saloons and on. She scrolled slowly through all the pages, there was a lot to do. Then she made eye contact with assistant Lu. " Erm, … I've never handled such a big event, what should I do first ? ". Right now she wanted to cry, how did she end up in this situation ? She was convinced that it would be a small matter since it was said that the eldest son wasn't really favored, they'd host a small celebration. But it seemed she was wrong from the start. The planning clearly stated that the marriage was divided in two parts, they had first to formally marry with the public present, then only the newly wed had to go to pay respect to their in-laws and elders. Then a banquet would be held in the evening, till midnight. Why did this situation remind her of the busy shopping with stylist Yu ?
" Miss, we'll go to pick up your wedding dress first ", saying so, he glanced at his watch, as if he wanted to say, time is tickling, instead. Ah ? Didn't she already have one ? " Wait, Mrs.Zhang already sent one to me ". A bright smile answered her, " you can throw that one in the trash bin, miss ". " ?! ", " He's right, I'll take care of it first ". She turned her head, seeing the hot tempered woman behind them. " Right, your wedding dress is already on his way. Just give me two more days, it'll be ready by then ". Nodding in satisfaction Shen Min crossed the first task, if the Fiery stylist handled this matter, it was bound to be perfectly spectacular. Now he had to let the future bride pick the other decoration and details.
While Mei Li was leaving, her muse had a resigned look on her face while the secretary was completely the opposite. Too enthusiast.
" Madam, please change the time, we can't guarantee 100% success of the mission on that day ", a pair of venomous eyes frowned, making them even more dreadful. " I can double the amount if you can get the thing done ". On the other line a gulp was heard, it was quite tempting. " We can guarantee only 50% then ", " I want 100, not the half, tch. I'll triple if you can guarantee that ". Low mumbling voices could be heard from the speaker of the phone, it seemed like they were discussing if it was worth the risk. ' Those filthy dogs, they only have brains if they smell money, tch '. Her long pink nails dug in the soft fabric of the sofa, leaving hollow gashes. Her fingers had at least one pair of rings on each, while a heavy golden bracelet was dangling from her bony wrist. " 100% and triple, take or leave ", her voice hardened as she spit out the last offer, " Alright, alright, we'll take it ". Only after this, her red lips curled up in a smile. " You've done the right thing, I'll transfer one third now, the rest comes only after the deal is done ". Mrs. Zhang hung up the call, laying back in her armchair, she took a newspaper and browsed through it. A few seconds later, steps echoed in the hallway, they were coming towards her. " Ji, are you busy ? ", a man asked her with a neutral tone, " Oh, honey. No, I'm not right now ". " Good, I've heard that you're also organizing the wedding. I think it's better to leave it in Chen'er 's hand, he told me about this. A bet he wanted to surprise his future wife ". Mr. Zhang smiled foolishly, happy for his son that soon was going to have company for the rest of his life. Or at least a bit of warmth in his solitude. He never interfered in his son's personal affair, he knew that his mother's death left a deep wound on him. Maybe this was the right time to heal it.
Ji Mei smiled back, hiding her malicious intentions and annoyance, " Sure, but tell him that he's welcome to come if he needs any suggestions ". " Sure, I'll talk to him ", he nodded and left.
" Tch, he still cares about your son, are you happy ? But sadly you're not able to attend your own son's wedding ", those words came out from her mouth filled with hatred. Feeling a bit better with this, a cold laugh rang out.
" Aghhh ", Xue was sprawled on the table with her eyes closed. Her whole body was aching because of the long inactivity and sitting. The rims of her eyes were slightly red, keeping her eyes stuck on that screen for so many hours, literally drying up her eyes. Now a sleep was needed sleep. So, guests were shorted out, the decorations were picked up. Now she had only to wait, the dress, the invitation being sent out, the location to be arranged. Of course she didn't forget the food, in fact it was her priority, she spent most of her energy there. This detail didn't go unnoticed, the helper just secretly noted down everything. He was acting as his job required it to. He had to take care of their couple matters to ensure that his master wouldn't die single. As she stretched her arms, Mrs. Yu barged in, holding a small notepad, walking towards her. She felt her mouth's corner turning down. " Have a good day, I'll contact you once the things are ready ". " My dear muse! I've just made a few samples, pick your favorite! ", Xue felt her left eye twitching.
As his fiancee was kept busy the whole afternoon till the evening, he quickly checked the picks and decision about the marriage, and simply approved it by signing his name at the end of the papers. Then a small memo pad was left aside, it was left there by that annoying man of his. Before being kicked out he explained what it was about, the miss's preferences and also, written in miniature letters, his own precious suggestions. At first he directly threw it into the trash bin, but after less than half a minute, he picked it up. He just scrolled a few pages and stopped. He ignored the comments down and paid attention only to the important things.
