After careful consideration, Chen Ze said, "My dear Amy, I am very happy to marry you, but there is one condition: you must not interfere with my daily life in China."
His gaze was firm and earnest, fixed on the beautiful and charming Amy in front of him.
Upon hearing Chen Ze make such a request, Amy was slightly taken aback, then turned to look at her father.
Her father, Louis, smiled and nodded slightly, indicating that he had no objection to the condition. With her father's approval, Amy felt somewhat relieved.
At this moment, Amy's mother, who was standing to the side, suddenly raised her voice and loudly instructed everyone present:
"Alright, everyone! Please move outside for now. Amy and Chen Ze, you two hurry up and get dressed. We'll be waiting for you in the living room on the first floor. Since our friends and family are all here, we'll take this opportunity to announce your good news."
“Yes, I understand, Mom,” Amy replied obediently to her mother.
Immediately afterwards, everyone in the room left Amy's bedroom in an orderly manner, leaving only Chen Ze and Amy to hurriedly change their clothes.
In no time, Chen Ze and Amy quickly got ready and walked together to the spacious and bright lobby on the first floor.
At that moment, Louis was standing in the center of the crowd with a beaming smile. Upon seeing the two of them appear, he immediately announced excitedly in a loud voice:
"Dear friends and family, please be quiet for a moment. I have some important news to share with you all—tomorrow will be the big day of my beloved daughter Amy's wedding. I hope that everyone here will arrive at the Metropolitan Chapel at 5:30 pm tomorrow to celebrate Amy's wedding together."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Louis's cousin curiously stepped forward and asked, "Cousin, can you tell me which prestigious family your son-in-law comes from?"
Louis smiled mysteriously: "You'll find out tomorrow."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw his daughter slowly walking down the stairs, arm in arm with Chen Ze.
The beautiful Amy immediately attracted everyone's attention when she appeared. She was wearing a white evening dress and had a faint smile on her face.
The gazes of many relatives and friends lingered on her for only a dozen breaths before turning their curious eyes to Chen Ze, the man with an Eastern face.
They were all wondering what this man's abilities were that could win the favor of the beautiful and charming Amy.
Immediately, everyone started discussing it.
[So, how did Louis suddenly become rich and still have debts? Turns out he found a wealthy son-in-law.]
[I don't know if his son-in-law is Chinese or Japanese.]
[Is this even a guess? It's definitely Chinese. Our country's largest port has been bought up by Chinese, and in the past two years, a group of Chinese have been buying up our real estate like crazy.]
Amy introduced Chen Ze to each of her relatives, and Chen Ze greeted them politely with a kind smile.
An hour later, the relatives and friends gradually left.
Louis looked at his daughter Amy with a serious expression and solemnly instructed her:
“My dear Amy, please take Chen Ze to complete the marriage registration procedures. Time is of the essence, so we need to hurry. Then, we can hold the wedding tomorrow.”
Amy nodded obediently: "Mmm."
Immediately afterwards, Louis and Amy began busily preparing all the necessary documents for their marriage registration at home.
At this moment, Chen Ze strolled alone to the wide lawn of the manor.
He pulled a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, skillfully took one out, lit it, took a deep drag, and slowly exhaled a cloud of white smoke.
Just then, Zhao Youde strode over to Chen Ze and reported in a low voice, "Boss, yesterday all five of our bodyguards were drugged by Louis. I don't know what Louis is up to."
Standing to the side, Chen Xiyu quickly chimed in, "That's right, boss. I think we've definitely been drugged too. Think about it, I can't get drunk without at least five or six glasses of red wine."
"But I only had three drinks last night, and I already felt dizzy and unconscious. This doesn't make any sense!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Ze's lips curled up slightly, revealing a somewhat mocking smile:
"Let's not expose what we've seen through. Let's wait and see what Louis is up to. After all, he has something on me now, so I can only go along with him for the time being."
Upon hearing this, Shen Xiyu couldn't help but show a worried expression and anxiously asked, "Boss, are you really planning to marry Amy like this? How are you going to explain this to Miss Siyu?"
"Let's keep it a secret for now," Chen Ze sighed.
Zhao Youde said, puzzled, "I don't know what Louis is trying to do. He's staked his daughter on this. Is it just so that you, the boss, will marry his daughter?"
Chen Ze chuckled: "You underestimate him too much. Is Louis really as simple as you say? Do you think he can still live a carefree life at the manor with so much debt?"
Shen Xiyu laughed and said, "If you owed that much money, your assets and property would have been seized long ago in China. If you don't have connections, you'd be stuck in a dark room."
Chen Ze pondered. He guessed that Louis probably wanted to get some benefits out of him. He personally felt that if Louis's request wasn't too unreasonable, he could agree to it, because if he opened a business in Greece, having locals to look after him would make the business run more smoothly.
When companies expand their business to other countries, most will choose to establish joint ventures with local forces.
With this in mind, he decided to rebuild a spicy snack brand in Greece, because the United States would launch a trade war against China in a few years, and all Chinese brands would be targeted.
So he simply established a European spicy snack brand, which perfectly avoided the risk of the United States increasing tariffs.
“Dear Chen, smoking is not allowed here.” Amy’s voice interrupted his thoughts.
Chen Ze shrugged: "Sorry, Amy, I had a craving for cigarettes."
Amy smiled sweetly and said, "This won't happen again. Let's go, let's go register."
After saying that, she stepped forward and affectionately took Chen Ze's arm.
The two then went to the embassy to register their marriage.
Very few people in Greece are getting married to people from other countries, so they don't have to wait in line and can just come and get it done.
They quickly completed the formalities in just half an hour.
After leaving the embassy, Chen Ze felt uneasy. He knew that this matter could not be kept secret for long and that Si Yu would find out sooner or later, but for now, he could only take it one step at a time.
Immediately afterwards, Amy took Chen Ze to choose a wedding dress. Chen Ze was not stingy and picked out the most expensive white French wedding dress for Amy.
On the way home, Amy excitedly began discussing the details of tomorrow's wedding with Chen Ze, from the wedding dress and guest list to the menu. Chen Ze responded absentmindedly.
Back home, Louis happily hosted a family dinner for them.
