Scarlett Xavier frowned and didn't rush to refuse.
The three-year period indeed made her quite tempted.
Thinking of how Uncle Monroe had treated her over the years, this was her tenth year with the Monroe Family. Spending three years to repay Uncle Monroe's kindness, should be enough, right?
Old Du saw she didn't speak, knowing she was swayed by his words.
He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If you don't mind, I'll have someone go to the Monroe Family to pick you up tomorrow morning? It won't take much time, just need to register the marriage."
Scarlett looked at his eager expression and finally nodded.
...
The next day, it was still Old Du who handled things during the registration.
Her husband didn't make an appearance from start to finish.
With this experience, Scarlett gained some insight. Turns out a wealthy family's assistant could not only help with blind dates but also handle marriage registration. However, they didn't take a photo, saying it would be done next time.
After coming out of the civil affairs bureau, Old Du looked at her and said, "Mr. Jiang had an emergency at the hospital and couldn't leave. Please don't mind, madam."
He changed the way he addressed her quite quickly.
Because Mr. Jiang didn't come, he felt quite sorry for Scarlett.
Scarlett said, "It doesn't matter."
Even if he never shows up, it wouldn't be any loss to Scarlett.
Old Du smiled and said, "We've already sent someone to deal with Chairman Meng's side, don't worry, you'll hear good news soon."
Scarlett had some things to handle in the afternoon, "Is there anything else? If not, I'll head back."
Old Du laughed and said, "Nothing else, go ahead with your work. We'll contact you when Mr. Jiang is available, and formally introduce you when the time comes."
Scarlett said, "No rush."
She hoped he would appear as late as possible.
It would be best if he never showed up even once in these three years.
...
After leaving the civil affairs bureau, Vivian Bell's call came again, "Scarlett, have you arrived yet?"
"Soon, I just finished something." Scarlett asked, "What happened?"
When Vivian called her earlier, she was busy with the marriage registration.
Vivian said, "That woman is pregnant and is now in the hospital... Her family is all there!"
Hearing this, Scarlett was left speechless for a moment.
That woman naturally referred to the mistress that Winston Shaw recently took up with.
Winston Shaw and Vivian were childhood sweethearts, even their wedding house was ready, and they were preparing to get married. But Winston took a mistress outside, and that mistress was restless, frequently sending messages to Vivian's phone, trying to make herself known, attempting to force Vivian to give up her position.
Vivian had been furious about this for a long time, wanting to break up with Winston but not wanting to let the fox spirit get away with it, so she stalled.
At this moment, hearing that the fox spirit actually made a scene at the hospital, Scarlett got angry too, "What does she mean by this? Is she afraid others don't know she's a mistress, making a scene at the hospital?"
"Yeah!" Vivian said angrily, "Winston's colleagues just sent me a message, saying that woman is pregnant, and her family is there, asking if I knew about this! I'm really amazed, how shameless can one be?"
Winston worked in a hospital, so naturally, his colleagues knew when the mistress made a scene there.
Other mistresses usually keep quiet, afraid of others finding out! But this woman, she's afraid others won't know.
Scarlett said, "Don't worry, I'll be there right away!"
