His Real Wedded Bride

Chapter 120 Running Across Mr. Yi Again

Autumn remembered her grandmother's concern when she was still living with her. She would always

say, "Autumn, I'm already old. I can proudly say that I have no regrets about my own life. But it would

be a huge pity if I can't see you walking down the aisle in my remaining years."

Every time she heard those words being uttered, she would rush into her grandmother's arms and tell

her that she wouldn't get married and that she would always be with her for the rest of her life.

"You silly girl, " her grandmother would always reply with a doting smile on her face.

Now that she was married to the man she loved most in the world standing right beside her, it is so

unfortunate that she doesn't have the chance to personally tell her grandmother.

"Sweetheart, why are you crying?" asked Charles, smiling as he wiped the tears from her face. "There

are so many reasons to be happy. Don't cry, my love."

Autumn nodded, trying her best to hold back her tears. "Can I ask you a favor?" she asked.

"Of course. What is it?" replied Charles with kindness in his voice.

Autumn, hesitating for a while, finally said, "Now that we're officially married, I want to find my

grandmother and let her live with us. I have tried my best to look for her in every hospital in Y City but I

can't seem to find her. I don't know what to do."

Autumn thought to herself, 'My grandmother is my only relative who truly cares about me. I must find

her no matter what. I need to find her.'

"Don't worry. I have already sent people to look for her. It won't take long before we get some news, "

said Charles, patting Autumn's shoulder. "Shall I drive you home now?"

"No, thank you, " she replied. Relief washed over her after hearing Charles' words. "Drop me off there,

" Autumn said, pointing to the intersection in front.

"Okay, " Charles obliged. Knowing how worried she was about her work, he stopped himself from

asking anything. Instead, he just told her to take care and go home early.

Autumn printed out several copies of her resume and went to the Dark Blue Company where Isla was

working. She called Isla as soon as she arrived downstairs.

Isla immediately hung up the phone and went downstairs to meet her. "Autumn, my boss is busy at the

moment. I want you to know how incredibly difficult it is to get you the interview. Remember to show

him your best planning case. Make sure you'll impress him with your talent and capability so he'll come

to realize how stupid he's been for refusing to give you a chance at the very beginning."

Autumn couldn't help but laugh. "How could you say that your boss is stupid?" she asked curiously.

"He deserves to be called stupid because he refused to acknowledge your talent from the very

beginning." Suddenly, Isla noticed the diamond ring on Autumn's finger. "What's this? I didn't see you

wearing that yesterday, " Isla said, pointing at her ring excitedly.

"I…" Autumn blushed, stopping mid-sentence. "I just got the marriage license with Charles."

"Really?" asked Isla, extremely surprised. She was so excited that she couldn't stop herself from asking

more. "Wow, Mr. Lu is so thoughtful and romantic. I can't wait to get married as well."

Autumn couldn't help bursting into laughter. "I remember you believing that marriage ruins love. You

said you're content with enjoying the sweetness that love brings. You even told me that you'll never get

married to anyone!"

"Hmph! I still think the same. I haven't changed my mind yet, " Isla replied, waving her hand.

"After all, a good man like Mr. Lu is very rare to find in this day and age. I don't think I'll be lucky

enough to meet someone as good as him so I wouldn't even bother. But..."

Isla stared at Autumn with a knowing look in her eyes. "You've married someone who comes from a

wealthy family. Don't you think you should also take care of your best friend's happiness? If there's any

decent man around Mr. Lu who might be my Mr. Right, don't forget to introduce him to me."

"What about the handsome guy you met last time?"

Autumn asked curiously with a frown on her face.

"I've already said goodbye to him, " she replied in an indifferent tone.

Autumn always knew that Isla did not take love and relationships seriously because she had been

badly hurt before.

"Isla, what happened to you happened so long ago. Let bygones be bygones. You have to learn to let it

go, " Autumn finally said after hesitating for a moment.

"Where did you get the idea that I haven't moved on yet?" said Isla, smiling.

"I'm doing really well. I enjoy the life that I live right now. There's no need for you to worry.

Would you look at that? Time is almost up! I'll go ahead and check if my boss is already available, "

Isla said, avoiding eye contact as she headed back to her boss' office. She came back a few moments

later, asking Autumn to follow her. "There's no need to be nervous. I know you're going to do well. My

boss might be stupid sometimes, but he's still a good boss who cares about talent." Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

"It seems like you're more nervous than I am, " teased Autumn.

"Don't worry. Everything will be okay, " she added, reassuring her.

Autumn was surprised as she ran across Mr. Yi who was just coming out of the manager's office. He

sneered as he stared at her quietly, obviously surprised to see Autumn as well.

"Are you Isla's friend?" the manager said, breaking the silence.

"Yes, " Autumn replied, nodding her head.

"This is my resume, " she said, handing over the paper to the manager.

"Come in and wait here for a moment. I'll just walk Mr. Yi out and I'll be back, " he said.

He continued their conversation as he turned back to Mr. Yi, respect apparent in his tone. "I'd like to

congratulate us in advance on our successful partnership. Let me walk you out."

"Hold on, " Mr. Yi said, standing still as he stared at Autumn in front of him.

"Mr. Zhang, are you going to recruit new talent?"

"Yes yes, " he replied attentively.

"You have given me such a great opportunity and I am trying my best to perform well. I want to recruit

more talent so that we can finish the project more efficiently, " he added.

"I have no problem with you recruiting more employees, " said Mr. Yi.

'I've already told her that I'm going to make her regret what she has done, ' he thought coldly.

"However, if you recruit a person with poor moral character, I might think twice about our partnership."

"What…

What do you mean?" Mr. Zhang asked, totally stunned by what he just heard.

He had no idea what was happening. He wondered why he suddenly said such a thing. "What's the

matter, Mr. Yi? Haven't we agreed on our partnership?

Why are you changing your mind?" asked Mr. Zhang, clearly confused.

As he glanced at Autumn, he suddenly realized that she might be the reason why Mr. Yi reacted in a

different way. "Mr. Yi, if you think that she is not fit to be our employee, rest assured that we will never

recruit her."

"I'm not an unreasonable person. But you should know that committing plagiarism and living off one

company while secretly helping another will not be tolerated here. What an interesting coincidence is

that Miss Ye did both. If you're going to recruit her in the company, you're signing up for trouble, " Mr. Yi

said, smiling cruelly.

"Miss Ye? You are Autumn Ye?" asked Mr. Zhang. He had heard about Autumn, seeing as she had

provoked a lot of discussion in the company. He agreed to interview Miss Ye because of Isla's

recommendation, given the fact that the company was also in dire need of new talents. However, he

didn't expect that she was Autumn Ye.

"Yes, " Autumn replied.

Standing firmly in front of Mr. Zhang, she continued. "I know that there are rumors about me in the

company. But here's the thing. They are just rumors. It is not the truth and they haven't proven

anything. I know I deserve a place in the company because of my talent and capability. I'm sure that

you'll give me a chance after you've seen my planning cases, "

Autumn said confidently without arrogance, believing in her own capabilities.

"Miss Ye is really good at plagiarizing. Of course she'll say that, " said Mr. Yi as he sneered at Autumn.

He was trying to tell Mr. Zhang that no matter how great her planning cases were, they were all

plagiarized and therefore didn't hold true value.
