"Still can't find Sherry?"
"Her phone is turned off and her friends all said that they didn't know where she was."
"Jesus. Tomorrow is her wedding day. Where the hell has she gone!"
The old couple is so agitated that they act like ants on a hot pan. They are going about in the house and calling everyone they know. But all they get are disappointments.
Just as they are hesitating, a young and handsome man walks into the house with some files in his hand.
"Mom, Dad, you don't have to look for her. I know where Sherry has gone."
"Jersey, you know where your sister is?"
The lady looks at the man with excitement, "Be quick! Take her back! She's being such a mischievous girl!"
"Too late."
The man signs, "She is already on the plane to the United States."
This is like a thunderbolt that hits the old couple. They sit down with their wits being scared out of.
Even if they fly to the US and catch their daughter now, she's not gonna make it to the wedding.
Besides, America is such a huge country, how can they find her if she doesn't contact them first?
"What will happen if the young master of the Chi's knows that Sherry runs away from the wedding?
"The situation of our company will go from bad to worse. The business is already stagnant now. Now we're going bankrupt..."
——————
This marriage between the Lin's and the Chi's has to trace back to over 20 years ago.
Back then, Mr. and Mr. Chi were good brothers who were working on the same construction site. Later, because of the restructuring of the factory, they decided to start from scratch and use their skills and experience to go all out.
At first, the business of the two families was in high cotton and they both made the first pot of gold.
During this period, Mrs. Chi gave birth to a son and named him Hunter Chi. And two years later, the Lin's had a boy-girl twins who were named Jersey Lin and Sherry Lin respectively. At the one-month-year-old party of the boy-girl twins, the two families arranged the marriage between Sherry and Hunter as a joke.
Later, the business of the Chi's boomed--they not only opened several branch offices, but also went public overseas. However, the Lin's has been on the decline. By this year, their company has just few deals and is facing a bankruptcy crisis.
Originally, there has been not much contact between the Chi's and the Lin's. In addition, a few years ago, Mr. Chi and Mrs. Chi went through a serious car accident and died on the scene. After that, the two families had no contact at all.
However, a few days ago, Hunter Chi, young master of the Chi's, sent someone to propose marriage and he even had the wedding date settled!
Although Mr. and Mrs. Lin felt that this was a bit too hasty, but being able to become in-laws of the Chi's, the family that is now all-powerful in the business circles, is like a dream come true!
In addition, if the two families are connected by marriage, the Lin's may get some help from the Chi's in the future. In this way, it is hopeful that their company can be revitalised!
However, they didn't expect that Sherry, the well-behaved daughter of theirs, actually ran away one day before the wedding!
"Mom, Dad, you shouldn't have said yes to the marriage proposal of the Chi's. Sherry is still a college student and you suddenly ask her to marry someone whom she didn't know at all, she's definitely unwilling to do it."
Jersey Lin frowns slightly, and there is a trace of blame in his eyes.
"Alas, we don't want Sherry to get married at this young age either. But you know, the Chi's was so generous and the betrothal gifts were valuable, and your father's company was having a hard time at that time..." Mrs. Lin's eyes are filled with remorse, and later, she starts to weep with her face covered by hands.
"Alas...Whatever we say is of no use now. Let's go visit the Chi's later and apologise to that guy in person!"
"Lin, will Hunter Chi hate us for this?" Mrs. Lin whimpers.
"Nothing can be done about it. Let's just prepare for the bankruptcy..."
Just as Mr. and Mrs. Lin look worried, Jersey Lin says:
"You don't have to go and apologise. I'll marry Hunter Chi for Sherry and we'll figure out what to do later."
