Chapter 1- "Zhang Family"

...1939 Republic of China, Z City, Zhang Mansion, Garden...

"This morning I accidentally overheard mother saying that Charles would come home after 3 years of studying!" said Clara Fang while holding a folding fan

"I really want to meet him, the last time we met was at my wedding!" said Judith Yang sipping her tea

...Z City...

"Charles, are you sure your family will like me?" ask Sharon Gu who just married to Charles 2 weeks ago

"I think they'll be very happy to meet you!" reply Charles Zhang to Sharon Gu with a smile

After that they both got on a rickshaw and arrived at a big looking old mansion. Sharon Gu was very surprised because Charles had never told her before that he was a man from a rich family.

...Zhang Mansion...

"This atmosphere reminds me of the past!" said Charles Zhang then walked inside

"Young Master Charles you have returned!" said a servant shocked running inside the mansion

The two women sitting in front of the family garden heard this and turned towards the door.

"Charles is back, does this mean we have a new rival?" said Clara Fang to Judith Yang

"I was actually feeling really happy when I heard the news that Mary Lin was going to move out and leave this house!" said Judith Yang to Clara Fang

The two of them come from families whose families are wealthy businesspeople and have many assets and inheritances, they are also highly educated, that's what causes them to have a fairly high social status in city Z.

The Zhang family is also one of the most respected families in this city so marrying them off to the son of this family will actually make them more prominent.

"Madam, Madam, young master Charles has returned, he is back!" said the servant with an exciting expression while running inside the mansion

At that moment Sharon Gu and Charles Zhang stepped in, Clara Fang and Judith Yang were immediately shocked.

"Who is she, she looks like a village girl, her clothes are ordinary!" said Judith Yang to Clara Fang shocked

"Hey, is she Charles' new wife? That's impossible right, he's already engaged to Miss Gao!" said Clara Fang to Judith Yang

"Charles, who are those two? Why are they looking at us like this? Is there something strange about me?" ask Sharon Gu to Charles Zhang confused

"Those two are my sisters-in-law, they're just doing their job as usual, and you don't look strange at all, you look gorgeous!" said Charles Zhang to Sharon Gu then walked inside

"What was that just now, it seems my guess wasn't wrong!" said Clara Fang to Judith Yang

"Let's go eavesdrop!" said Judith Yang to Clara Fang following Charles Zhang and Sharon Gu to the Mansion

"He brought a young lady with him!" said the servant to Sylvia Wang, Charles Zhang mother

"Young lady?" said Sylvia Wang shocked a little

"I'm back mother!" said Charles Zhang walked inside the house followed by Sharon Gu at his behind

"Wait, who are you, Don't you dare step into my house!" said Sylvia Wang to Sharon Gu sitting on her chair

"Mother, let me introduce myself, This is my wife, Sharon Gu, We just got married 2 weeks ago!" said Charles Zhang to Sylvia Wang

The shocked Sylvia Wang immediately fainted, because her son got married without her consent.

The two sisters-in-law who were standing in front of the door heard it and immediately went in and helped their mother-in-law who had fainted.

"Charles, I was hoping you could be better, but I didn't expect you to do this to mother!" said Clara Fang in a disappointed tone

"I think if mother wakes up later, you shouldn't face her first!" said Judith Yang to Sharon Gu then walk to Sylvia Wang room

Sharon Gu looked disappointed because she was not accepted by the Zhang family, she had felt this when she first arrived in this city, she had expected it.

"I think my mother is just too tired, we'll try talking to her again later after she wakes up!" said Charles Zhang to Sharon Gu
