Chapter 11 I Like You, So I Want to Marry You!
Ji Niandong increasingly felt that the gentle and refined man in front of her was unfathomable and frightening.
She stepped back a few steps, and politely said, "Thank you for your kind offer to save my father, Mr. Lu, but I cannot accept this favor!"
"You'd rather refuse the charitable money to save your father than become Mrs. Lu Beichen?" Lu Beichen quickly asked when he saw her about to leave, with a hint of disbelief in his tone.
To become Mrs. Lu is almost every woman's dream in New City, and she's refusing?
The man was pressing too tightly, Ji Niandong gritted her teeth and said bluntly, "There must be many women willing to become Mrs. Lu, from socialites to stars, all kinds of excellent women. I truly don't understand why you would want to marry me."
She bit the word "marry" heavily, as if marrying her was more offensive than keeping her as a mistress!
Lu Beichen continued to confront her, seeing her so stubborn, he asked back, "There must be many women willing to become Mrs. Lu, yet I specifically want to marry you. Why are you unwilling to marry me?"
Indeed. To become Mrs. Lu means becoming the leading lady of New City, a position below one but above thousands. However, marriage cannot be measured with money and power.
Ji Niandong took a breath and replied, "My father told me from a young age, that when a girl grows up, she should not marry two types of men. One is being unequal in status; the other is being divorced with children, only to become a cheap stepmother. Besides, Mr. Lu is an unmarried father with a child whose origin is unknown."
She tightly clenched her fists, ready to face the consequences of offending Lu Beichen.
