Nuo's advice reignited the hope in Angie's heart.
Acting upon it, Angie stopped tormenting herself and began to eat, make-up, and try out her gown.
After all, she wanted to look her best when she saw Ye Fan again.
“Mr. Jones, Ms. Jones has begun to eat.”
“Mr. Jones, Ms. Jones has started to put on her makeup.”
Word of Angie's change quickly spread to her father and brother's ears.
“Is it true? Hahaha. Looks like she has come to her senses.”
“That's a relief. My mind has finally been put at ease.”
Angie's father, Bill, was excited by the news.
He felt as if he was finally released from the burden that had been hanging over his head.
Filled with elation, Bill and Michael went to Angie's room to visit her.
“Angie, I'm happy to learn that you have seen the light. I also admit that it is the family's fault for doing this without your permission. However, you must know that this decision not only benefits the Jones family but you also. After all, he is a member of the Chu family who is coveted by girls all over. Therefore, you should feel happy and honored to be able to become his wife,” Bill explained with a solemn tone.
This time Angie stopped talking back to her father. Instead, she calmly responded, “Mmm-hmm, Dad, you don't have to convince me any further. I understand now. I will carry out my duty as a member of the Jones family.”
“Mmm-hmm. I'm glad to know that you think that way.” Bill nodded in satisfaction before leaving. After all, he needed to entertain the many guests that had arrived.
Nonetheless, Angie's brother remained silent throughout.
It wasn't until Bill had left that he asked, “Angie, have you really thought it through? Are you really willing to marry Chu Tianqi?”
Given the sudden change in her stance, Michael couldn't help but have his doubts.
Angie chuckled softly. “So what if I'm unwilling? Does my desire really matter? Since it has been decided, do I have any other choice other than to accept it?” Angie threw the question back at Michael.
Stumped, Michael didn't know what to say.
“Michael, I still need to try on my gowns. If there's nothing else, please leave us.”
Not wanting to talk further, Angie showed Michael the door.
Consequently, Michael got up and left.
Just when he got to the door, he suddenly stopped.
“Angie, will you let me do your hair tomorrow? Based on tradition, a mother usually helps her daughter do her hair when she is getting married. However, since Mom is no longer around, will you let me do it on her behalf? Consider it as my way of saying farewell.
From tomorrow onward, you will be a daughter-in-law of the Chus. To be honest, I really hate to see you leave.”
With his back facing Angie, Michael broke into a faint smile which for some reason felt especially weighty.
Given how much he doted on his sister, he loathed the fact that she was leaving home.
Angie was taken aback by Michael's words, but she nodded in agreement.
The night passed quickly.
When dawn began to break, more than ten helicopters suddenly appeared in the skies of Norwal City.
The rumble of their rotors reverberated in all directions.
After a long journey, leaders of martial arts worlds from many different countries arrived at the city where Chu Sect was based.
The airport closest to Mount Chumen had already been cordoned off for the event.
Many of the surrounding areas also saw tight security.
