Chapter 354: Arranged Marriage
At Dee’s Mansion...
"Your mother has arranged a lunch meeting for you tomorrow." Rui’s father authoritatively said. Rui did not comment and continued to eat dinner.
He shook his head... No wonder he was asked to dine with them tonight because they had something they needed from him.
"I’m sure this time you will like this family. I believe you also know them enough." his father continued. Rui had no interest in hearing this nonsense at all. He put down his spoon and fork and stood up.
With soulless eyes, he looked at his stepmother and said, "You can just message me the place, date and time from next time, instead of calling me over. I’m done with the dinner. Thank you for the meal."
"Sit down!" Rui’s father yelled. Rui saw his stepmother comfort his father as if consoling him and let him slide this time. ’What a poker face!’ Rui wanted to shout in her face. Only he could see her real face behind her meek and tamed mask.
Rui heaved a controlled sigh and went back to his seat. "Is there anything else father," he asked in almost a whisper.
"Finish your food child. I heard you’ve been busy recently tending help to your friend! When will you get out from the Yang’s shadows? You���re a Dee yet see how do you live? You’ve been wasting your time either roaming around everywhere or getting involved with that Xander Yang like his sidekick!!!" Rui’s father hissed. His face was red with anger and he was venting it all out on Rui right now.
Rui balled his fists, he tried very hard to control his emotions, to calm down as he always did. HIs father was too old and not in good health now to get angry like that. He looked at his two older brothers who lived in their own worlds and were too busy to bother with whatever was going on.
"What’s wrong with being a sidekick? Let Rui do what he wants dad. He has no capacity and is very incapable anyway to help with the company matters. I can manage the business all by myself." his older brother proudly announced.
"Yeah right... That’s why we are facing a lot of lawsuits nowadays..." his second brother exclaimed.
