Offer To The CEO

47 The Aftermath

After terminating the telephone call with Anna Jones\' parents Hou Yi gathered his sobbing wife in his arms.

He simply let Anna cry for a few minutes, as he realised that given her parents reaction, she needed to do that, before she could focus on anything else.

When her crying lessened, Hou Yi said "Anna it will be OK.They are simply shocked with what has happened.They expected a call from you once you and Lu Jinhu were married.They were shocked, not only that you ended your relationship with him, but told them in the same breath that months ago you fell for someone else but stayed by your commitment until it was almost too late, and you made the decision to marry someone else.The only untruths in what we have told them is that we had communicated and are in love.Everything else it the truth.Who is to say what will happen in the future.All we have agree to is to see what will happen, and to give the relationship an opportunity.If I can ready your parents in that short call, all they are is worried about you."

Hou Yi paused for a few seconds "Tell you what.Do not let your parents get to you.I will give you a preliminary two million Australian dollar budget for you to create your dream wedding, my mother and Assistant Wang can help you organising everything, particlarly if your parents will not help us.If the budge is insufficient, I can increase it.We can use that ceremony to show Lu Jinhu, Yang Lin and their families, as they will be most likely the only influential family from here not invited."

Hou Yi paused, "Knowing my mother and my aunt, tomorrow they will want to take you shopping for clothes.While we will obtain your possessions from Australia, most of them are unlikely to be appropriate for the climate here.My mother and aunt are power shoppers who think nothing of spending millions in a day.I have, as of their spending limited them, taking away their black credit cards and leaving them with a platinum card, with a monthly limit.Presently cards have been issued for you, that are companion cards to my cards, but in a few weeks the bank will replace them with your cards.Buy whatever you need."

"Yi, I do not know what to say."

"Anna, as I promised you, I will help you get revenge on how you were treated.The other thing I need you to do in the next couple of days is find out what debt he has left you with.I will help you have that paid, and then help you use the system to try and get back what he has taken.You do not deserve what he has done to you."

"Yi…", and with that Anna burst out into more tears.

"Anna.Before we get ready to go to my family home, I need to understand your history with Lu Jinhu.I know it likely will be hard to talk about, but I know my parents will ask about it, and I need to know so I can help deal with it.They will more than likely expect that you know about my past as well."

"I do not know if I can do that"

"Well let me go first.I will keep it short, as they will not expect you know specifics, but the major highlights."

"OK."
