Liang Mei Zhen, the only daughter of a multi chain hotel owner, walked in with her entire family at the Xie mansion after an hour . A successful businesswoman, she saw the world through a cynic's eyes and had seriously contemplated remaining a spinster after rejecting enough proposals to fill a room . But there was something about the intense and brooding Xie heir, which had made her want to believe in silly things like love .

Clad in a white Vera w.a.n.g gown, she glittered, just like the diamonds adorning her throat . At 5'5, she was the same age and lean built like her husband-to-be . Her shoulder length black hair had been coiffed up and the style enhanced her angular cheekbones . The make-up was subtle and showcased the dress and her jewels to the maximum advantage . There was a hint of haughtiness in her demeanour .

"G.o.d bless you, my child", said Mrs Xie as Mei Zhen hugged her warmly .

Mr . Xie came and patted her shoulder with a smile . He had become very fond of her in the recent past and had begun to treat her like his own daughter .

"Hi sister in-law, welcome to your own party . Can you see how handsome is my brother looking today? He went through all this effort just for you", exclaimed an excited Xie Chu, Xie Tang's younger sibling .

Xie Chu was six years younger to her brother and was his anti-thesis . Short in stature, she made up for it with her spitfire personality . Fair like her brother, she had the same chocolate brown eyes and smile, albeit it was found lurking at the corner of her mouth perpetually . Her short hair and a curvy figure had driven many men crazy after her .

The basic princ.i.p.al of her life was – oppose everything that her parents wanted and expected from her . Her rebellion had started at teenage and continued till date . The only person that she never could or had refused was her big brother . He was her champion . He had always saved her from their parents' wrath and provided the freedom to grow into a person of her choosing .

She was currently working with an international news channel as part of their production team . The job kept her travelling back and forth between America and China . And it was during one of these trips, that she had met Ethan . He was the top investigative journalist for the channel and was a wonderful person .

For the first time in her life, Xie Chu was in the real danger of falling crazily in love . They had been seeing each other for some time and wanted to take it to the next level . Ethan was coming for the wedding and she had all her fingers crossed in the hope that Xie Tang would approve of him .

"I think we should start with the ceremony now", suggested Mrs . Liang, shaking Xie Chu out of her musings .

Mrs . Liang believed in auspicious time and dates for even the smallest of things . Xie Tang and Liang Mei Zhen moved towards the dais, which had been placed at one end of the room .

"Did you really think you can get hitched without our presence, Xie Tang?" shouted a voice from a currently dark corner .
