Zoe brought Jeremy's thoughts back to the present. He turned around and took a look at her. His thin lips were pressed together, as if he didn't care about getting married. "Let's talk it later!"
After that, he didn't say anything more.
What? Talk later? His answer really pissed her off.
Did he really want to marry her? Besides, they had been together for five years. During these five years, Zoe thought she had walked into his heart.
But there seemed to be a thin layer of film between them, which could not be broken anyway.
The Xu family had already prepared dinner and was waiting for them when they arrived at the villa.
When Zoe's mother saw him, she smiled and walked to him. "Jeremy, you're here. Sit down and drink some water."
After saying that, she asked a servant to bring water to him. Then, he nodded his head with patience.
At this moment, Zoe's father was coming downstairs. Seeing that Jeremy was wearing a calm face, while Zoe was leaning against him, he smiled with pleasure.
"Jeremy, how's your company going recently? Can you handle them well? " Adam opened his mouth with a few words.
With a slight absence of mind, Jeremy replied, "Pretty good."
Only his father and grandfather would ask him this question. It was obvious that Adam had shifted his position to his father-in-law and started to care about the operation of the Ou Group.
"That's good. Only when the company is running well can you consider other things better." Anna smiled happily. There was no wrinkle on her face and she looked well nice. However, every time she smiled, it made Jeremy uncomfortable.
His eyes looked around the three people in this family. It seemed that no one had ever mentioned Sherry. Then, was the status of Sherry in this family really as bad as what Zoe had said?
He was thinking about something else, but neither Zoe's parents nor Zoe knew it.
It was very clear what Anna meant. At that time, Adam was just getting to the point. Looking at his daughter, who wore a sweet and happy smile on her face, and Jeremy looked very cold, but Adam had already been used to his coldness.
"Let's talk about your marriage. Jeremy, when do you plan to get married?" Adam said in a different tone.
A smile crept on his face. He knew it was for this that they called him over, so he was mentally prepared.
However, he had never been in a hurry, and said lightly, "Not yet."
Anna's face immediately became awkward, and even Adam frowned with displeasure.
Anna replied in a hurry, "Not yet? Zoe is not young now. You've been together for so many years. It's time to get married!
It's not a good idea to keep Zoe waiting. You have to give her an explanation for this matter!"
"Take it easy, we can enjoy more time when we are together." Said Jeremy.
After listening to this, somehow, there was a sense of irony in his words.
"After we get married, we can e
Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.
To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.
"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."
She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.
Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.
most important thing was that Zoe still wanted to buy some more time for her father and let Jeremy agree to their request.
"Maybe next time!" Without looking at Adam's expression, he strode out of the house.
Then Zoe followed him, and her parents also followed him to the door.
Adam was a little anxious and was about to lose his temper.
After sending him to the car, Zoe saw his car fading in the setting sun. Her eyes were full of reluctance.
"What's wrong with you?" As soon as they entered the living room, her father said coldly to her.
Her father changed his face so fast. He just now fawned on Jeremy in front of him even though Jeremy refused him.
After Jeremy left, his face darkened with anger. He was so humiliated that his requests were refused.
Zoe was stunned and looked at her father pitifully. Then he was sitting on the sofa and shouted to her angrily, "Didn't I tell you to catch Jeremy? Why hasn't he agreed to marry you? "
She felt so wronged in her heart. It was not the first time that she had told him about it, but he didn't agree. What else could she do?
Despite feeling wronged, she wanted to refute him, but she didn't dare to do so.
"Don't scold her. She has been trying hard." Anna couldn't stand it, so she interrupted.
They all saw the cold face of Jeremy and wondered what he did mean.
Adam cast a sidelong glance at his daughter. Seeing that his daughter was unhappy, he softened his tone and said in a sad tone, "You must let Jeremy marry you as soon as possible, so that the company can be saved."
"I see, Dad. Is our company really running out of money?"
He let out a long sigh and took a glance at the villa. He had lived here for half a life. When he suddenly proposed to sell it, his heart ached.
At this moment, the atmosphere at home immediately became depressed. Zoe was casting a glance at her parents who kept silent, all the previous grievances were gone.
