While Jia Li, Fu Hua and the little bun were having fun, things were not going in well in the Bai family.
Old Lady Bai asked her third daughter-in-law to pick any family while she on the other hand, directed her first daughter-in-law on what to be written in the undertaken Bai Jun was to sign.
After making arrangements and deciding on the family Bai Jun was going to marry into and the person picked for her, Old lady Bai asked a servant to call Bai Jun and Bai Fen over.
"It looks like things for the marriage arrangements are being prepared." Bai Fen said with a smile as she walked along the hallway with Bai Jun who still had a bandage ? wrapped around her forehead.
"Of course… Maybe grandma is calling to tell me when to meet with Zhang Junjie." Bai Jun said with a confident smile.
"Let's hurry up." Bai Fen said as she pulled her to walk quickly.
When they got to the sitting room, Old lady Bai was drinking tea while the other two women were sitting beside her with a stack of papers in their hands.
"Grandmother you called for me?" Bai Jun asked with a polite smile. She was acting just like an obedient child.
Old lady Bai put her cup of tea down and looked up to say to her, "Bai Jun, why didn't you mention that Zhang Junjie and FangSu were close friends?"
Bai Jun and Bai Fen were taken aback by the old lady's question. They were wondering how she found out about the relationship FangSu and Zhang Junjie had.
"Mother, is there a need to ask her about it? Old general Fu has already made us lose the upcoming bid because someone here deceived us. Mother save your breath and go on with the plans we have already crafted out." The third daughter-in-law said with a disgusted facial expression.
"Bai Jun, I'm really surprised that at your age, you can scheme to this level. There is no need to say anything to you but we have all lost hope in you." The first daughter-in-law said with a frown.
The turn of events was so unexpected for Bai Jun that she was tongue-tied. Bai Fen on the other hand didn't dare to ask what they did because it was very clear to them.
Bai Fen was wondering how they came to know about it and hearing them mention grandfather Fu, she guessed that Bai Jun must have told him about it.
Bai Fen was currently filled with anger with the turn of events. She couldn't even take revenge on FangSu, what was her hope for the future.
"Bai Jun, read this agreement and sign it after." Old lady Bai said as she handed over two pieces of a written agreement to her.
When Bai Jun read the agreement she was to sign, the color drained from her face.
It was written in the agreement that she can only get a divorce or separate from her husband the day she wants to quit working in FJ.
Seeing how shocked her daughter was, Bai Fen snatched of the written agreement and read the content and that was how she understood the reason for her daughter's change in expression.
"Mother, you are going too far?! Are you trying to cage our only granddaughter with marriage? What if the person she is getting married to doesn't treat her well? You haven't even told us who she is getting married to!" Bai Fen said with a deep frown on her face.
The third daughter-in-law got up from the sofa and said while pointing fingers at her, "Should we call our husband and tell them that we have already lost the bid we have all put our hopes on because you and your daughter deceived us?"
Bai Jun and Bai Fen were scared out of their wits, especially Bai Jun, because her father will send a resignation letter to FJ on behalf and lock her up in the house for several days before marrying her off or sending her outside the country. And because she didn't want her father and her uncles to get involved, she quickly asked for a pen and signed the papers before handing them over to her grandmother.
"Bai Jun, listen carefully. You have to mind your actions and your speech from now onwards because if you go against the rules, you will have to leave FJ with immediate effect. You are no longer allowed to make any contribution to this family and towards your wedding. You should concentrate on your work, while your mother can continue idling at home." The first daughter-in-law said to Bai Jun with a serious gaze.
Bai Jun felt that everyone was going against her wishes but she couldn't do anything. The only plan she made that worked out was getting into FJ. As for the others, they all failed miserably.
When Bai Jun left their presence, she locked herself in her bedroom and refused to open the door for anyone, even to get mother.
After Bai Jun and her mother left, Old lady Bai immediately sent out another better along with the copy of the agreement she and Bai Jun signed.
When Grandfather Fu saw the copy of the agreement Old lady Bai and Bai Jun signed, he was satisfied and sent out a message to her, saying that he finally saw a little bit of sincerity from her and hopes the wedding pulls through in 2 weeks.
Old lady Bai sighed in relief after getting Old Mr. Fu's approval and she immediately contacted the Yang family for the marriage agreement.
When FangSu found out from Butler Lu that her grandfather had the Bai family change the groom after crying and complaining to Zhang Junjie, she jumped for joy and immediately ran to grandfather Fu's study to thank him.
"I didn't do it for you. But I hope that you make things right soon." Grandfather Fu said to her with a meaningful gaze.
FangSu understood what he meant and thanked him again before leaving his study. Walking back to her room, she called Zhang Junjie to inform him of what happened.. The two talked for a short while before the former had to end the call, as she wanted to speak to her mother.
