"However, there is a condition before the will can be fully executed. You must be married to a man of good character and reputation. If you do not want the estate, you can pass it on to anyone of your choice."
While Madam Li was alive, there was only one wish. It was for Mei Ting to marry a good man. This was one of the reasons she had introduced her to Yang Zichen.
Madam Li had lost her husband to the cold hands of death five years after her marriage. She understood how lonely any position can be without a partner. She didn't want Mei Ting to experience it either.
Being a chairwoman was a very lonely position; she wished Mei Ting would get a partner who would support her in all she did.
Mr. Wu looked at Mei Ting, "This is her condition. You need a husband to fully execute and be in charge."
Li Weiyoung glared at both Mei Ting and Mr. Wu. Everything was happening before her and there was nothing she could do. However, she was pleased by this condition since she knew Yang Zichen had ended things with her on her instruction.
"Well, I…" Mei Ting inhaled a scent of breath. She was married. That condition would not be a problem.
Yang Zichen stood immediately after he heard the condition; he took large strides to the podium where Mei Ting and Mr. Wu stood. Right now, he deeply regrets his actions yesterday. If he had known, he wouldn't have harshly treated her yesterday, he scolded himself for ripping the certificate.
But he reasoned he could still fix it and find a way to tuck himself into Mei Ting's life.
"She is married, Mei Ting is my wife," he declared upon getting there. The hall once again erupted as people spoke amidst themselves.
"Didn't he say they were over?" one said.
"I'd do the same if I were him." Another laughed.
Mei Ting's head jerked up in his direction. She raised a brow at him.
Yang Zichen stood by her side, "I made a mistake; Mei Ting is married to me. We went to get our certificate yesterday."
"Yang Zichen, did you forget you tore the certificate into pieces?" Mei Ting was stunned at his shamelessness.
"That doesn't mean we are divorced. Ripping it apart meant nothing." Mei Ting smirked, she brushed her hair off her face. This shameless man. He didn't think about this when he ripped the certificate apart.
This means he was not aware that there was a stitch and the lady in the certificate wasn't her.
Yang Zichen leaned forward, whispering in her ear, "You should be thankful I am lending a helping hand. Let's talk about the incident at the registry later, for now, let's get everything in order and leave. You know we can-"
Mei Ting stepped away from him; she turned to Mr. Wu, ignoring Yang Zichen, whose face reddened in embarrassment as he stood straight, placing one hand in his pocket.
"Mr. Wu, if that is the condition then there is nothing to worry about. I am married, I have a husband who meets that requirement." She said.
Yang Zichen's lips pulled upwards. Of course, she couldn't reject him. She needed him.
"However, it's is not Yang Zichen over there," she pointed to him, his smile fell, 'what was she saying?'
"My husband would be here soon." She said.
At that moment, the door of the hall opened. A man in a black tuxedo suit stepped in. His shoes clicked slightly on the floor as he walked towards the podium.
Heads turned watching him as he took each step. There was a shift in the air. What was he doing here?
He must have been invited.
"Oh, he's here already." Mei Ting smiled pointing at Luo Chen. Yang Zichen's eyes widened.
"What nonsense are you saying, Mei Ting?"
Luo Chen stopped in front of Mei Ting, he took hold of her hand, "Wifey, hope I didn't come too late? Did I miss anything?"
In truth, Luo Chen didn't miss any part; he had been watching the live on his phone and knew what she had been bequeathed.
"You came just in time." Mei Ting entwined her hand in his.
Upon seeing them, Li Weiyoung stood, her chest heaving and falling. Why are they married? She was supposed to be married to Yang Zichen, and she had made sure they separated
"Mei Ting is married to Mr. Luo? The one and only Luo Chen? This is big news."
"Someone pinch me, I can't believe this is happening. How did they end up together?"
"What about Ynah Zichen? Does this mean Mei Ting has been cheating on him, or was she cheating on Luo Chen? I need clarity."
"We need the story of how they met."
"Mei Ting is now Mrs. Luo. This is incredible."
The entire internet was in chaos. Everyone wanted to know why the most powerful man in the country was standing next to the ousted foster daughter.
Mr. Wu nodded and concluded with a speech. Other things would be taken care of between him and Mei Ting in private.
He stepped down.
Li Weiyoung left with him. She walked after him, trying to get his attention. She was sure there was a mistake somewhere.
"Mei Ting, how would you explain this? You are married to me, not to this… Mr. Luo" no matter how angry he was, Yang Zichen knew he had to be careful with his choice of words.
"Did you cheat on me?"
Mei Ting didn't give him a reply but instead said to Luo Chen, "Let's leave; there's no reason to stay."
Luo Chen nodded, his smile never leaving his face. Most people were astonished seeing him smile. Luo Chen always kept an icy expression.
As they turned to leave, Yang Zichen pulled Mei Ting's hand, stopping her, "You owe me an explanation." He said through gritted teeth.
Luo Chen's eyes darkened, "hands off."
Yang Zichen let go of Mei Ting's hand.
"Yang Zichen, I owe you no explanation. I am married now; I know it's hard, but you have to move on. And I'll appreciate it if you don't go around spreading false rumours. My husband and I would not be pleased about that."
