In other words, if the Xu family totally stood on the side of the Qin family and fought against the Rong
family together with the Qin family, the Rong family would also be defeated.
Therefore, the Xu family had become the focus between the two families. It depended on the Xu family
to fight win the battle.
"I've talked about it with the old lady. As long as Fell treats my sister well, we're okay with it," Essie said
with a smile.
"That's good." Dick said with a smile, "I have discussed with my wife. It is a lucky day to set the
engagement ceremony on the 20th of this month. Your engagement set on the sixth day of next month.
Alice is the elder sister. In Dragon City, it is appropriate for children to get married in an order of the
age. So Alice and Fell will be engaged before you. That will be better."
Essie nodded and said with a smile, "That's reasonable. After sister and Fell get married, she can take
care of your family at home and be a good wife and mother."
She spoke in a careless tone, as if she was just joking, but the speaker was not intend to say it, and the
listener had her own understanding. In the understanding of Alice and the Qin family, it was an
implication to hint that Alice should stay home and not meddled in the matters of the Xu's group.
A sinister and cold light flashed in Alice's eyes. "I don't want to be a good wife and mother. Dad asked
me to run the Xu group with you. I will not shrink it off my shoulder."
"Sister, marriage is one of the most important things for a woman. If a woman is too ambitious in her
career, she will end up failing in marriage, just like me. You don't have to worry about the Xu's group,
because I, as well as brother, will take it well. After all, I am just an acting president in charge of the
company for the moment. Since the Xu's group will finally be handed over to brother and Holy, it is an
opportunity for them to improve themselves. He can take the burden for you,"
Essie said in a gentle voice. She didn't want to be a dictator. She just wanted to protect Alice's safety.
Since she married Fell, she put herself in a dangerous position. Only if she was a rich lady and didn't
get involved in the business conflicts could she protect herself.
But Alice didn't think that way. She was furious. Of course, the Qin family didn't want her to be only a
housewife. What they wanted was not a daughter-in-law but a machine gun to deal with the Rong
family.
But they couldn't help her to take over the power in public. After all, Essie was the one in power. If she
was on her guard, things would be tricky.
"All right. Today we are here to talk about the wedding, not about anything else. As for the company's
business, you two can solve it yourselves." Dick ended this topic with a gentle smile.
He took out a betrothal presents list and handed it to Vicki.
Essie took a glance at the gift, it was written, "Nine hundred and ninety nine millions nine hundred and
ninety nine thousand and nine hundred and ninety nine, which means they have a long-lasting
marriage." There were also two villas, a yacht, a private plane...
She gasped. The Qin family was generous.
Vicki looked peaceful. For a large family like the four families, the billion or so dollars were worth little.
Above all, one's sincerity was the most important. "Since Alice finds a good husband, her father and I
will be relieved." She said lightly.
"From now on, we are family," Cara said with a wide smile.
Fell didn't say anything. He looked at Essie from time to time. After so many days of getting along with
Alice, he had lost his interest in her. She was no different from the women he used to play with. After
only a few times, he lost his interest in her.
He liked Essie more. She made him feel like she was mists, sometimes like wind and sometimes like
rain. He wanted to chase after her, he wanted to catch her, but he failed in the end. When he was with
her, his desire of conquest and possessiveness would grow to the extreme in an instant. If he couldn't
get her, he would keep itching in his heart and the feelings he desired would become more and more
heavy.
God knew how much he wished the woman to be engaged to be Essie. He wouldn't get tired of such a
charming and flirtatious woman.
However, he had to put his family interest first. Moreover, Essie was going to marry someone else. As
the future successor, he had to listen to his family's will and marry Alice.
Essie took up the glass and said, "Brother Fell, sister, I wish you two a happy and harmonious life!"
Fell smirked. Only he knew the bitterness in the smile. "Thank you, sister Cathy." he said in a low voice.
The smile on Alice's face even broke the silence in the room. She raised her glass and proposed a
toast. With the help of the Qin family, it was only a matter of time for her to get rid of Essie.
The next day, the news of Alice and Fell were engaged was spread all over Dragon City and was also
quite sensational in the business field. It seemed that the marriage between the two families had been
settled.
Essie had known that Zac would come to her, but she didn't expect that the place she would meet was
in the Jade Mountain where he kept him as a mistress there.
She always felt that this big demon had his own ulterior motive. For her 'safety', she proposed to
change the location in the afternoon tea house. But the demon king couldn't allow others to change his
decision. She was taken into his car after she came out of the HENGYUAN building.
The bodyguards didn't stop her, but drove after her silently. It seemed that her bodyguards were
intimidated at the sight of this demon. Perhaps they were afraid of him, or perhaps they were
accustomed to their 'flirting' and simply ignored them.
