Rules of Engagement novel Chapter 6

Elsa thought for a while and figured out that he was referring to her parents. "My parents took a free ride, which is faster than the bus. Besides, they left early in the morning, so they may arrive at about one o'clock in the afternoon." She answered.

"How about having lunch together? My grandparents happen to have free time at noon."

He never mentioned his family before. Until now Elsa suddenly realized it. But the time left for them was too short and too hasty, so she really ignored it.

Could it be that their relationship this time also started easily and ended hastily?

No, it wasn't love this time. It was just a marriage of convenience for each other. She was so tired of love that she chose to be self-banished in a marriage.

"Okay."

She was a little distracted as she didn't sleep well. The black circles under the eyes were obvious against her white skin. Soren asked, "How about going back to the hotel to take a rest?"

"About the banquet tonight, I have booked six tables in the hotel... Do we need to make some change? " Speaking of the hotel, it occurred to Elsa.

"How many people of your family will come?"

"Five families and two friends." Elsa counted.

"OK. No need to change." Soren replied. He also asked some other questions about the banquet and found that everything was arranged by herself and there was no need to make any changes.

The only thing that needed to be changed was the name of the bridegroom, which they should change from Greenwood Li to Soren Wang.

"Yes, we have to change it. Let's go back to get it done right away." Elsa stood up.

Time passed quickly when things were done. Elsa checked everything again. The wedding candies, wine, cigarettes and a big red towel with a Chinese character of "double happiness" were all in the car of Elsa. They were all arranged by herself. Except for the name, they could not find any traces of Greenwood's existence.

The wedding time was coming. After entering the city, Elsa's parents called her. They would be sent directly to the entrance of the hotel by car, so Elsa would pick them up there.

Turning her head to take a look at Soren, Elsa was worried. Although her parents hadn't met with Greenwood before the wedding, her mother Blanche was the teacher of the high school where Elsa and Greenwood once studied. She must have a general impression of Greenwood. What's more, Elsa had sent pictures of him to them a few days ago. The name was not the same either. Elsa felt a headache. The situation seemed to be worse than that when Greenwood suddenly broke off the engagement.

Just when she subconsciously put her fingernails into her mouth and was about to bite as she felt anxious, she heard Soren's clear voice, "Don't worry, I'm here with you."

Suddenly, Elsa took two envelops out of her bag and gave them to Soren. "Take these. Please give each of them to my parents after the banquet, okay? "

They had a wedding custom here. When a girl got married, the bridegroom's family should prepare a betrothal gift for her, then the bride's family should add more to give a gift back. After the dinner, the family of the bridegroom should return some to the family of the bride. Both parts would spend and regain the same amount of money. It's just an auspicious omen of the wedding ceremony.

Greenwood disagreed with her then and said that he would save the trouble. After thinking for a while, Elsa took ten thousand dollars from the money given by her parents and divided them into two envelopes. She planned to return the money to her parents. Her family lived a normal life. Elsa just wanted to set their mind at ease.

Soren took the money and promised, "Don't worry. I'll give the money to our parents."

He said it naturally. Elsa blushed. When she was about to turn her head away, her hand was grabbed by him. Soren said to her delightfully, "Elsa, here are my grandparents!"

Elsa quickly adjusted her glasses and followed him to the door. A pair of hearty and affable old couple appeared at the door, which the waiter opened for them. They nodded politely at the same time to the waiter, "Thank you."

There's no doubt that the old couple could make others feel good about them at the first sight. The pounding heart of Elsa calmed down a lot. Soren walked up to them and said, "Elsa, these are my grandparents. And grandpas, this is Elsa Xia, who I've just told you on the phone."

"Good girl! Good girl! Ren is disobedient to us. We have been waiting for him for a long time to take a girlfriend home, but he was always too busy to come back. He has been fooling us elders. Elsa, you have to take good control of him for us after you get married! " The two of them were amiable, laughing and complaining about Soren.
