With these in mind, Jiang Yue's hand slowly made its way into her watch and silently pressed a b.u.t.ton.
"She was not feeling well." It was the first Elder who answered. "That is not important. The most important thing right now is to familiarize you to what we do. First, let's talk about your marriage…"
"Hold on!" Jiang Yue interrupted. "First. I am not here to become a matriarch in this family. Stop this matriarch this. Matriarch that. I want to live a life away from the Vercello's" She roamed her eyes at everyone. "Second. I am not going to marry anyone aside from Fu Jin. And third…. Third is I am here to give you a warning."
"Stop all your businesses that involves experimenting people and I will spare you." She added. Her gaze was serious.
However, to her surprise, everyone including Antonio and the First Elder burst into laughter. Was this woman serious?
"Jiang Yue… I never see you as a joker… I… hahaha… " It was Quan Lei. He was here to marry this woman, yet she said she wasn't willing to become the matriarch and marry someone aside from that man. Was she trying to insult him? Does she find him unqualified to be her husband? Of course, Quan Lei still masked his anger with his laughter.
"You being here means that you are interested in becoming our leader." He added. "The simple rule is for you to marry someone of influence before becoming a matriarch, don't tell me that you want to change this rule?" In Quan Lei's mind, Jiang Yue must have wanted to become the matriarch without marrying someone. She wanted them to give in and change the rules for her.
"Jiang Yue… I understand that you like that Fu Jin so much. But he does not deserve you. He might be a CEO but what can he give you other than money? His influence is not as great as the person that we chose for you." The first elder kindly explained."This is only for the best."
Jiang Yue only scoffed at their words. Her only purpose in coming here is to find her father and end the Vercello's so she could be with Fu Jin. "I'm not too sure what made you think that I am here to be your matriarch." Then she got up from her seat. "However, I am not interested in anything that would try and control my actions."
"Is this because of your boyfriend?" Antonio said. "You came here with your demands and ego but forgot that by defying us you are endangering him."
"Tsk. Tsk… Jiang Yue. I always thought that you are smart. " he added. "How could you miss something like this?"
Jiang Yue slowly turned towards Antonio and smirked. "Did I?"
"Don't act as if you are smart in front of me, young lady. I could have you detained for now until we kill that man of yours." Antonio growl making w.a.n.g Bolin who was originally standing behind Jiang Yue step in front of her. Hiding her from Antonio's line of sight.
"Ah… who do we have here?" Mr. Quan sneered. "Is this the boy from the Ye family?"
"Let's go." w.a.n.g Bolin uttered, his tone grave. He was originally opposed to Jiang Yue's plan, yet he did not voice out his opinion. Now that there is a possibility that these people might not let Jiang Yue leave, w.a.n.g Bolin can't help but regret his earlier decision.
"Isn't this the one who abandoned us? Mr. Ye?" another person chimed in while looking at the man beside him with a very grave expression in his face.
When w.a.n.g Bolin noticed the man, his expression immediately turned sour. He was originally hoping that this man won't be here today. He didn't notice him when they landed a while ago so he immediately felt relieved. Now however...
"Enough!" Jiang Yue's voice echoed. "Heed my warning or I will destroy everyone in this room."
"w.a.n.g Bolin lets go." She added. However, before Jiang Yue could take another step, they were immediately surrounded by at least twenty men with really tall stature.
"Why are you in a hurry Jiang Yue?" Quan Lei smirked. "Are you afraid that something will happen to your lover boy?"
"Why don't you spend some more time with your family?" he added before sipping his tea. If he was right, the people who were supposed to kill Fu Jin should have arrived in their original location by now.
'Goodbye Fu Jin.' Quan Lei laughed inwardly while staring at Jiang Yue's beautiful face.
