Chapter 2: Hello, Let’s Get Married

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Qiao Xi leaned against a large tree at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau and surveyed the people entering and exiting with narrowed eyes.

She needed to pick a marriage partner among these people.

Mr. Qiao’s wishful thinking was to snatch the Qiao Corporation’s shares through her marriage. How could she let him have his wish?

…

Not far away, Gu Zheng was leaning against the front of the car, looking at his wrist from time to time. Even though there was no expression on his handsome face, one could still sense that he was extremely unhappy.

The driver kept wiping his sweat. “Young Master, we just received news that the Meng family is trying their best to find Miss Meng. You might have to wait a little longer.”

“I’ve been waiting for 20 minutes.”

Gu Zheng lowered his head and adjusted his watch. His tone was calm and emotionless when he said, “Tell the Meng family not to look for her anymore. We’ll cancel the marriage.”

He did not have a hobby of forcing people. Since Miss Meng did not want to marry him, he would not marry her.

The chauffeur hesitated. “But the old chairman…”

The old chairman was looking forward to getting Gu Zheng married as soon as possible. They thought that the marriage was set in stone, but Miss Meng still managed to escape in the end.

“Hello, I’m sorry for interrupting. Did your arranged marriage partner run away?”

Qiao Xi had observed them for a long time before deciding to go up and test them out. She smiled lightly at Gu Zheng. “It just so happens that my fiancé has escaped as well. Since we’ve both been left behind, should we get married?”

Gu Zheng raised his head upon hearing that.

The woman in front of him was carrying a canvas bag. Her legs were straight and slender under her wide sweater. Her long black hair was casually tied up behind her head. Her facial features were exquisite, and her skin was fair. She was eye-catching.

“Huh?”

Gu Zheng raised his hand to stop the chauffeur who was about to speak. He said playfully, “I don’t even know you. Why should I marry you?”

Qiao Xi touched the tip of her nose. “If you marry me, you can get 65% of Qiao Corporation’s shares. Is this reason enough?”

Gu Zheng raised an eyebrow.

Qiao Xi pointed at the chauffeur at the side and said, “I just heard the conversation between you and him. I know that you’re being forced to marry by your family. As long as you marry me, not only will you be able to give your family what they want but you’ll also be able to obtain 65% of Qiao Corporation’s shares. It’s like killing two birds with one stone.”

Perhaps she was afraid that Gu Zheng would not believe him, so Qiao Xi opened the share transfer document and showed it to him.

“Qiao Corporation’s…”

A name appeared in Gu Zheng’s mind. “You’re Qiao Xi?”

Qiao Xi was surprised. “You know me?”

Gu Zheng shook his head. He did not know Qiao Xi, but he could not stop the people around him from gossiping. They said that the eldest daughter of the Qiao family who was brought back from the countryside was weak and sick. Her survival relied on medications. They also said that she would take advantage of her status as the eldest daughter to boss around ten servants. She was said to be brainless and vulgar.

However, from the looks of it, the rumors could not be trusted.

Actually, before Gu Zheng appeared, Qiao Xi had also tried to approach a few people but they all treated her as a lunatic after listening to her. There was even one who wanted to call the police, saying that she was a scammer.

Perhaps because she was used to being rejected, so after waiting for a moment and not getting a response, she intended to look for someone else.

However, before she could even lift her foot, her arm was grabbed.

“Where are you going?”

“Since you don’t agree, I’ll go look for someone else.”

Gu Zheng was amused. “There’s no need to look for anyone else. I agree.”

Ignoring his chauffeur’s shocked expression, Gu Zheng walked toward the Civil Affairs Bureau. “Did you bring your identity card and household register?”

Qiao Xi reacted and took the initiative to follow behind Gu Zheng. “I did.”

She paused for a moment before adding, “Thank you. Don’t worry. After we get the certificate, I’ll transfer the shares to you. I won’t let you suffer.”

Gu Zheng smiled but said nothing.

20 minutes later, Qiao Xi and Gu Zheng came out of the Civil Affairs Bureau with a red booklet in their hands.

The chauffeur’s expression completely collapsed.

“Where are you going? I’ll get the chauffeur to send you there.”

Gu Zheng tilted his head and looked at Qiao Xi, who had been playing with her phone with her head lowered.

Qiao Xi did not even raise her head. “To your house.”

She had originally planned to go to Gu Moling’s house after registering her marriage with him today, so she had already packed all her belongings in the Qiao family’s villa.

Although she had changed her marriage candidate, her plans had not changed.

Gu Zheng raised an eyebrow. To his house?

He looked down at the little red booklet in her hands. It seemed to make sense?

The chauffeur went into the driver’s seat. He still could not accept the fact that his young master had gotten married to a strange woman!

Qiao Xi noticed the driver’s expression and seemed to ask Gu Zheng with her eyes, ‘Is your driver reliable?’

She did not want to get into an accident right after getting her marriage certificate.

Gu Zheng coughed lightly and reminded the chauffeur to drive properly.

After Qiao Xi confirmed the issue regarding her safety, she turned her attention to her phone again.

The entire journey was silent.

Then, Qiao Xi’s phone rang.

“What’s the matter?”

Qiao Xi’s voice was cold and indifferent.

“What’s with your attitude? I’m your father!”

There was a faint voice coming from the other side of the phone. The person seemed to be saying that Qiao Xi was indeed from the countryside and had no manners…
