"Yes, I promise I'll handle the whole issue. I offended Jovan and Jos. It's my responsibility!" Jude gritted his teeth.
"Jane. What's your opinion?" Chet turned to Jane, he looked exactly like a furious old dragon bearing his anger patiently.
"I..." Jane caught a pair of angry eyes in her sight. She couldn't help but step backward for the fearing of her old grandfather.
"You will get married to Jovan Sun tomorrow... And that is my order!"
"No!" Not until Chet finished his words, Jude anxiously interrupted: "Grandpa, No! Jane cannot marry to Jovan!"
He added: "Grandpa, I fight against the Sun family and the Deng family. Jane has nothing to do with these matters! She is innocent. Please! Grandpa, show us some mercy! Please don't ruin Jane's life. I'm begging you, please."
But, Chet Zhu, the Cheif of the Zhu Family, was totally unmoved with Jude's imploring.
"Jovan Sun is a notorious womanizer. He is in several relationships with seven or eight women outside his family! Grandpa, please don't push Jane into hell by your hand, she is your granddaughter! She will never have happiness if she marries Jovan Sun."
"Jude, how dare you say that? I push your sister into hell? It's all your fault! You left me with no choice! You care about your sister, I care about our whole big Zhu's family!" Chet shouted with the crutches in his hand, pounded the floor fiercely.
...
"Jude! You bring this disaster to the whole family, and your sister will also pay for your mistakes. Accept it!"
"Jane had an oral engagement with Jovan a long time ago, we are now putting it in advance."
"Pig-head, Jude! The moment you decided to offend Jovan and Jos, you should think of the result!"
"Yeah! He deserves it!"
...
Many of Jude's relatives gossiped, they all wished that they could sacrifice Jane Zhu for the big family's peace.
With a roar of rage, Jude stood up, clenched his fists, and looked at the Zhu family relatives with blood-red eyes: "Jane is innocent! She is just a girl..."
"Brother!" Jane interrupted Jude with a gentle voice.
"Brother. Accept it. Sooner or later, I will marry Jovan. If my marriage would help out the whole family, I can give up on my happiness."A forced smile appeared on Jane's face.
Jude felt only the pain of his heart. He had never regretted offending Jovan and Jos for a moment. Now, he regretted involving Jane into this shit.
Initially, the Zhu family had a chance to get rid of this marriage. Still, now, everything becomes impossible because of Jude's impulse.
"Jane. I'm so sorry." Jude choked back tears.
Jane smiled: "No. Jude, you are my brother."
Chet sighed, He knew what Jovan was. That young heir of the Sun family is greedy, vindictive, and a typical playboy. He didn't want to send Jane, his favorite granddaughter, in Sun's family either. But he had no choice since they could not afford the debt.
"Grandpa, there is no grievance on me." Jane shook her head, "When I get married to Jovan Sun, I will beg for his mercy and ask him to let go of our family."
Jane Zhu had prepared herself for the worst future.
Saw Jane's gentle smile, Chet relieved a sigh again.
"Grandpa," Carlos opened his mouth, "Finn Chen. He caused the troubles, he should take responsibility for this. We should ask Fin to apologize to Sun's family."
...
Jade's relatives once again went to the discussion.
"That's right! Finn Chen did it. We can't let him go!"
"Ask him to kneel down Jovan with Jude, the Sun's family wouldn't come to us then."
