Lola went to sleep after hanging the phone up.
In SL Group next day.
When Lola, the acting CEO and the fiancee of Harry Si, appeared in the company, the employees appeared busy.
Lola entered the CEO office with a smile. She felt confident about the meeting scheduled for later.
First though she checked Weibo for any new hot searches via the cell phone.
What a surprising news! The most hottest news listed read: "Joseph Li and Lillian Ye get their marriage certificate!"
Lola hurriedly clicked the screen to read the news and saw that Joseph had posted a picture of the marriage certificate on his Weibo account...... Joseph...... and Lillian!
Marriage is such a big thing. It surprised her that Joseph had decided to take this step without telling anyone.
Lola was excited and immediately dialed Joseph's number.
It had been just over an hour since Joseph posted his marriage certificate, and both the company phone and his cell had not stopped ringing.
He heard the phone ringing, and did not want to look at it, let alone answer it.
Obviously whoever was calling had already read his Weibo post. Why did they bother to call him?
He looked at the caller ID, and answered as soon as he saw it was Lola.
"So, what's new?'' Lola asked innocently. Of course she knew, but could not help herself.
"I am sure you saw already?" he said calmly. Thinking of Lillian, Joseph smiled happily.
"Why didn't you tell us?" Lola was thrilled for her brother. Marriage! A serious matter indeed. Their parents had not yet got the news.
Joseph thought for a moment. "I'm an adult and I have the right to make my own choices. Besides, we will be home in two days, see you soon."
……
Make his own choices? Lola was going to phone her parents and tell them! "You hang up and I will call home and tell father what you have done!" she smirked into the phone, "I think he will use a whip to teach you a lesson!" She felt so devious.
"Sister, you need to pay attention to your actions, keep in mind you are to marry soon, ok?" Joseph did not need to see Lola to know that she was growing red in the face. As sure as he knew she would threaten him.
Lola was left speechless. Sitting in her office, she responded quietly into the phone, "Fine, I leave you alone, it is on you to tell our parents! It won't go unnoticed though that you have told everyone except you parents, and people will assume you do not recognize her as your wife!"
"Is that so?" Joseph was suspicious about what she had said and right after hanging up on Lola, called his grandfather's cell number to tell him his news.
He then called his parents, followed by each family member, one by one.
After he told his family, he felt sure what he would find when he got home were more whips! His father had warned him...
On Tuesday.
According to Harry, Lola waited for him at home.
When Harry's grandfather, Kevin, Harry and Nicole arrived at the Li Manor, they were greeted by the entire family.
Angie knew Rose didn't approve of the impending marriage by her absence.
Nicole was thrilled to see her extended family and fluttered about happily hugging everyone.
After the greetings subsided, Harry and Lola sat together. Harry glanced over at Lola, sitting beside him and pulled something out of his pocket.
He set it down in front of Harold and Angie, "Uncle and aunt, this is one of my betrothal gifts for Lola, a cheque for 666.6 million." He said.
