Chapter 84 My Family Did Not Agree
"Okay," Gary stood up and said with a fake smile, "We'll talk about it when I meet your parents. I have something else to do. I have to go now."
Clark nodded slightly and watched him leave.
In the evening, Clark went back to the villa of the Ji Family.
The moment he stepped into the villa, all the servants were shocked. They had no idea how long they hadn't seen him.
After receiving the news, Amanda ran out of the house. In disbelief, she asked, "Brother, why do you come back all of a sudden?"
Looking at his sister who he hadn't seen for a long time, Clark softened his expression and nodded, "Okay."
Amanda came back to China recently. She knew that Clark didn't like to be disturbed, so she didn't go to see him.
"Father and mother are waiting for us at home. Come on in," urged Amanda.
Actually, it was Amanda Ji who asked their parents to come back.
Clark wasn't used to communicating with his parents too much.
There was a serious atmosphere in the hall once they entered it. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Lucas Ji and his wife Penny Yin sat on the couch, looking at Clark.
They hadn't seen their son for a long time, but they were used to a serious conversation in their family. Though love flashed through Penny's eyes, it disappeared in a wink of eyes.
"Dad, mom," Clark said in a cold voice. Then he sat down in front of them.
Sitting on the other side, Peter Ji looked at everyone indifferently.
Lucas nodded and continued, "I know why you asked Amanda to bring us back, but we don't agree!"
Penny Yin quickly explained, "The last time the Bai Family broke off the engagement in the last minute. They added insult to injury when we were in trouble. This brought shame to our family. How can we let their daughter marry to you now? They must be daydreaming!"
Hearing that, Peter frowned slightly and turned his eyes to Clark. "Clark, tell me what you think about this matter."
After a short pause, Clark said, "I made a mistake. Anna is pregnant."
"What?" Startled, Penny stood up almost subconsciously and asked, "You make her pregnant?"
Upon hearing this, Lucas Ji became more furious. "You've gone too far, Clark! How could you let her get pregnant with your child? Do you know what that means?"
The expression on Clark's face darkened, keeping silent.
"That means we have to agree to this engagement! Don't think that that woman is really loyal to you. If she had really loved you, she would not have agreed with her parents to break off the engagement!" Lucas's voice trembled with anger.
Penny Yin came to herself, nodded and said, "Yes. We have done some research on the Bai Family this time. The Bai Group has been facing some financial difficulty recently, so they need the support and help from us. They come to you only for their own good."
With a cunning look, Peter Ji glanced at Clark who was still in silence and then motioned to his son and daughter-in-law. "Don't worry. Listen to what Clark says before you make any plans."
Clark said in a cool voice, "I know what you mean. But I have promised Anna to meet her parents. I hope you won't let me break my promise. After all, it represents our family.
As for other things, I have other plans. I hope you can cooperate with me this time." Clark looked thoughtful.
Lucas Ji and Penny Yin exchanged a glance. Their son never begged them for anything. This was the first time he made a request. Maybe they should give it a try?
"Okay, we will come to this meeting, but we will not agree with the marriage." Lucas stood up and walked to his room.
With a slight sigh, Penny Yin took a look at Clark standing nearby, and left following Lucas.
The wrinkles on Peter's face began to wear off. He said to Clark, "I believe you have your own ideas about this. I trust you that you will not that stupid to marry that woman. Come on, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Play chess with me!"
Upon hearing this, Amanda went to take the game of go in a hurry.
At this time, Rachel was watching a movie at home, which was the Siege Battle, the most popular movie recently.
She was working hard on imitating and studying the acting skills of the seniors. If she wanted to go further, she had to find a way to receive some film resources.
Although she quickly became a popular star due to TV dramas, movies will make her more popular. In order to get more recognition, she must work harder to shoot a qualified movie.
Eva was bored and pacing around. No one knew what she was thinking.
Her shadow made Rachel a little dizzy. She couldn't help but call her, "Eva, what are you doing?"
Eva sat down beside her, grabbed her hands and suddenly asked, "Miss, do you know who I saw in the company today?"
Rachel gave her a strange look. "I'm not a mind reader. How do I know who you saw today?"
Thinking for a while, Eva rolled her eyes and said, "I met Mr. Clark's father today."
"Mr. Clark's father? What does it have to do with me?" Rachel looked at her with a puzzled expression and felt a little funny.
Seeing that Rachel still didn't get what she meant, Eva suddenly sighed, explaining, "Miss Rachel, I really think you are so blocked of all information? There is a rumor in the company that Mr. Clark is going to marry Anna!
Mr. Lucas came back from abroad this time to discuss with the Bai Family about their marriage. Why aren't you worried at all? I'm worried about you!"
Eva was more than anxious. She was burning with anxiety.
Stunned a little, Rachel pretended not to care about it and said, "It's reasonable for the parents of both sides to meet each other as they are going to marry. They're going to marry and everything will be settled. Why are you in such a hurry?"
With her eyes wide open, Eva looked at her in disbelief. "Miss, you and Mr. Clark love each other. Why do you both make such a mistake on this matter?
I know both of you are tough people. But can't either of you admit defeat first?"
With a straight face, Rachel scolded her, "Eva, what are you talking about? Don't forget that Anna is pregnant! Shouldn't he be responsible for that?
Besides, he said he wasn't interested in me. I would be asking for an insult if I still like him. What happened in the past is in the past. I don't like him anymore."
Rachel looked a little angry.
Eva lowered her head sulkily. "Miss, you can lie to yourself, but you can't lie to me. I just hope that you can get your own happiness!"
Rachel took a deep breath and continued, "Eva, I know what you mean. But don't forget that I am an actress now.
If there is any rumors between me and Clark at this point, I will be the other woman to be publicly recognized. Is that what you want?"
Eva lowered her head silently and said apologetically, "Sorry."
Rachel sighed. She reached out and rubbed her hair, "I know you're for my good. But it's not going to happen. Everyone has his or her own fate."
Eva replied and went back to her room for sleep.
Originally, Rachel planned to study the movie carefully. But after hearing what Eva said to her, she was a little absent-minded.
'Has he really decided to marry Anna?' Rachel could not help but to think. She was a bit hesitant whether she should tell him the truth?
