Chapter 377 - Bai Jun"s Request

"This doesn't sound like a bad idea but do you think your grandma will listen to you?" Bai Fen asked.

"She has to listen to me since I am the one getting married." Bai Jun said before walking towards the door with the help of her mother.

When they both got to the sitting room, they saw the old lady surrounded by the two women in their families.

"What did you come out here for, don't tell me you still have another request to make?" The third daughter-in-law asked with a taunting gaze when she saw Bai Jun who's head was wrapped in a white bandage.

Without warning, Bai Jun knelt before the three women with tears in her eyes.

"Grandmother, since I have agreed to get married in 2 weeks, please allow me to choose the person I want."

"And who is that person?" Old lady Bai asked with her gaze on her.

"Zhang Junjie from the Zhang family. We have known each other for so many years, so it will be better if I marry someone I trust that will treat me well." Bai Jun replied and she wiped her tears.

Old lady Bai immediately asked her third daughter-in-law to search for information regarding the Zhang family and Zhang Junjie with the tablet in her hands.

In 2 minutes, the information regarding Zhang Junjie and the Zhang family was brought up and read to the hearing of everyone present.

"Zhang Junjie is a decent young man but I don't think the Zhang family will agree to this short notice." Old lady Bai said.

She liked Zhang Junjie and wouldn't mind granting her granddaughter's wish but the Zhang family was not an ordinary family she could just bring up a marriage alliance with, in such a short time.

"Mother, it's possible. I remember that the Zhang family owes us a favor for the construction contract we gave to them that helped to boost their profile back then." Bai Fen revealed.

Old lady Bai had to think deeply before remembering that something like that did happen. "Even though something like that did happen, are you trying to tell me to use it in order for Bai Jun to marry their son in such short notice?"

"Mother, Jun's happiness is important. And since Zhang Junjie is outstanding and is on good terms with Jun, there shouldn't be a big problem." Bai Fen replied.

Old lady Bai was quiet for a while before saying to them, "Zhang Junjie it is. Bai Jun, go back to your room to rest. You are only allowed to come out when it's time for dinner."

"Thank you, grandma!" Bai Jun said in a happy tone as she bowed.

Because she was weak and had been kneeling for a long time, she couldn't help herself up, so her mother came over to help her.

At last, when the two of them returned to the room, they couldn't hold back their smiles of victory.

Back in the sitting room, old lady Bai was still trying to organize the message she was going to send to grandfather Fu.

In order to show her sincerity, she wrote a message, explaining to him her plans and said that she would go ahead to start making the marriage arrangements only if he approves of it.

After compiling the message, her third daughter-in-law sent it over.

"Mother, you know this is not enough right?" The first daughter-in-law asked with a frown.

Old lady Bai heaved a sigh and replied, "I know that it is not enough. Old Fu will still do something to punish us even if he accepts this. I just want to give Bai Jun a chance because I saw the effort she put in to get into FJ. She became so good that she could get in through that competition."

"Mother, you are too soft-hearted because you love Bai Jun so much. I just hope she doesn't cause any more trouble for us!" The third daughter-in-law said with a frown.

If there was one thing she hated about the old lady, it was the fact that she loved Bai Jun so much that her heart easily melted for her.

"If Bai Jun throws all our efforts away, then I will really kill her myself. I won't allow myself to be blinded by the love I have for her and allow her to ruin my husband's years of hard work, never!" Old lady Bai promised.

The two women relaxed at her assurance and continued with the work they had.

During dinner, the old lady announced to everyone that Bai Jun would be getting married in 2 weeks,? before going on to explain the reason for the sudden arrangement.

"You should have asked her to quit, what nonsense!" Bai Jun's father said with an angry gaze on his wife and daughter. He was so angry with them that he wanted to squeeze the life out of them.

At last, Old lady Bai managed to handle the matter and let everyone eat before dismissing them.

That night, Bai Fen didn't sleep in her bedroom. She gave an excuse that she needed to take care of Bai Jun at night, and so went over to Bai Jun's bedroom.

Bai Fen was scared that she may not see the light of the next day if she spent the night in the same with her furious husband.

The next morning, Old lady Bai sent over the letter to grandfather Fu just as he was about to have breakfast.

Grandfather and the rest of the family were at the dinner table when Butler Lu came to whisper to his ear.

"Read it out to everyone." Grandfather Fu said to him. The old man has already told everyone of the situation but he was yet to announce his actions on the matter.

Apart from Fu Hua, Jia Li, Fu Hee and Fu Juan, everyone else was present at the dinner table.

Old lady Bai started with an apology in the letter before going to remind the old man of their relationship as friends.

"... I and my family accept any punishment you give to us but please, allow my granddaughter to remain in FJ because of the zeal, hardwork and dedication she gave to get a spot through the competition. And to keep your mind at ease, I have decided to let my granddaughter get married in 2 weeks to the son of the Zhang family, Zhang Junjie..."

"What!" Butler Lu was still reading out the contents of the letter when FangSu screamed in shock, thereby interrupting him.
