Chapter 9

  Why did he suddenly weaken his stance and ask their Grandma for advice?   Margarita Song-Chu frowned. She looked at Anna Qin, who was standing upright and frowning, with emotion and disappointment in her eyes.   When she first saw Anna Qin, she really liked her. She had genuinely looked forward to having her as their new granddaughter-in-law. It was a shame it all had to come to this.   Margarita Song-Chu sighed deeply, worried, "Now the outside world knows that Anna Qin is the young lady of the Chu family, no matter how we deal with it, our Chu family will be the laughingstock of Haicheng.”   "Madam, don't worry about this. Your grandson had asked reporters and others to leave, to avoid making things worse and to save the face of the Chu family." Hector Wei explained.   Margarita Song-Chu didn't stretch her brows because of his words, but said in a melancholy. "But I had specifically asked the press for a live broadcast."   Hector Wei almost choked with his own saliva, turned his head and saw that his boss’s face had darkened in anger.   He hadn’t seen this coming. He quickly took out his mobile phone and opened his social media page.   Sure enough, there was a lot of discussion on the Internet, about the young new wife of the Chu family, Anna Qin.   Louie Chu put away his mobile phone expressionlessly, and looked at Trixie Chu sideways, "Let your company's public relations department suppress the news."   Trixie Chu was also on her mobile phone. Her face was pale. "I can’t, it’s already spread out..."   A wealthy family like theirs could expect to be watched constantly, each of their actions subject to criticism or praise. People were fickle. At this point, there was no way to predict how this would all play out.   Louie's eyes were dim.   Just then, their old butler, Uncle Ming, came back from outside.   "Old Madam, it's done. The marriage certificate you ordered me to get."   Uncle Ming came in, solemnly holding two freshly baked red books, but saw that the hall was empty, with only a few people in the Chu family.   "Huh? Where are the reporters?"   The eyes of several people all fell on the marriage certificate held by Uncle Ming, their expressions were very complicated.   Who would have thought that Mrs. Chu had secretly made so many preparations for this marriage?   Suddenly, the atmosphere in the hall felt tense.   Everyone fell silent.   Only Anna Qin, looking down at the toe of the shoe, wondered how likely he is to be sentenced to jail if he enters the police station.   It was intolerable for her to pretend to be Madam Louie Chu, but—   Sending a car to pick Anna Qin up, announcing the news to the media, and even getting a marriage certificate in advance... It was all Mrs. Song-Chu's doing.   If this gets out of hand, the Chu family's reputation would suffer.   A family like this cannot tolerate even a single scandal.   On the other hand, Anna was just a nobody, and any part she played in this would easily be forgotten. At worst, she could spend a few nights in jail.   After deliberating for a while, Carlie Chu and his wife came to a decision.   "Louie, it's better to keep her here for now. The two of you need to keep up appearances for the time being. When it’s all blown over, then you can deal with her. Alright?"   When Carlie Chu's voice fell, Trixie Chu immediately stomped her feet. "Absolutely not! Dad, how can you let this impostor stay here? What if she likes it here and refuses to leave? I cannot accept her as my sister-in-law!"   "Shut up!" Catherine Liu scolded her in a low voice.   At the same time, the couple turned their heads to look at Louie, waiting for him to respond. He could most certainly reject their advice, but it wouldn’t be without consequence.   Louie's face was cold as he glanced at Anna Qin in front of him, full of disgust.   He was about to refuse, but someone spoke first.   "It seems that you haven't asked my opinion yet?"   Anna Qin, who had been silent just now, suddenly raised her head.   Louie Chu's sharp gaze fell on Anna, a little surprised, and soon became a thin layer of anger.   "Is she even allowed to speak?" Trixie Chu rolled her eyes.   Anna Qin looked at her, smiled slightly, and looked indifferent. "I'm just a nobody, a homeless person, a scammer. I’m not even very good at being a fraud, which is why I find myself in this situation now. I don't really know how to act. Wouldn't staying here make it worse?"   Trixie Chu was stunned.   A nobody, a homeless person, a scammer...these words were all hers! She actually remembered all of these and was now subtly ridiculing her!   Embarrassment turned into anger, and Trixie spoke with disdain. "Do you really take us for fools? Of course you want to make it worse, you piece of trash scammer--”   Louie interrupted her. "Do you think you have the right to choose?"   Louie's low and cold voice carried a hint of warning.   "If I don't cooperate, you'll send me to the police station?" Anna Qin tentatively asked.   His eyes looked dangerous. "Maybe worse than that."   Anna Qin frowned lightly.   The old butler’s kind voice came from beside her. "Miss Qin, this is the Chu family, so please cooperate with us. If you helped this, maybe Mr. Chu Louie will forget about it..." He trailed off, as Louie shot him a look.   Anna Qin couldn't help but fall into thinking.   She was just an ordinary medical student and knows nothing about the Chu family. Rather than paying attention to celebrity news and the lifestyle section glorifying the wealthy, she preferred to read about anything medicine-related, such as the latest in biomedical research, traditional medicine, even clinical trials.
