7 The details of their mutual betrayal - Part 1
Hou Yi, started to sit down next to Anna Jones after her request, and asked "Could you explain to what has happened, so I can see what I can do to help you."
Anna realised in asking Hou Yi to sit down she must have sounded harsh to him.In a much politer voice "Sorry, I did not an to sound so harsh it is just …"
Hou Yi realised, during the process of sitting down, that Anna really was in shock, and did not seem to be having a go at him.Once seated next to Anna, he said "There is no need to apologise.Sothing has happened to you, and you are in shock.Are you able to tell what happened?I do want to try and help you if I can."
"Thank you", ca Anna's soft reply."To make it simple, I was ant to marry my fiancé Lu Jinhu today.The reason we were marrying here, so he told rather than in Australia where I am from and he is based, is apparently his parents are too afraid to fly, and they did not want to miss their only child's wedding.My parents work, and could not get leave, but at least I am not their only child, so they were happy to let us grant his parent's wish on the basis we would have a second ceremony for my family and our friends in Australia.I found out the reason for marrying here was a lie.He never intended to marry , he just needed to string along until today, and on my arrival today, he took pleasure in telling he had married Yang Lin, as had always been planned."
Anna started to cry again, over everything that had happened to her in the last, as she glanced at her watch she realised only 10 minutes had gone by, 10 minutes.She took a few steadying breaths and looked at Hou Yi who was just watching her.
"Go on", said Hou Yi in such a voice that Anna Jones knew instinctively that she would be able to trust him.
"Lu Jinhu and …" started Anna Jones, and she stopped and shook her head."No, I guess I should start calling him that evil ex, I have recognise not only that he never loved but also that I was simply a ans to an end and he just used ."
"How did he use you", can the calm but prompt reply.
"Based on what he took glee in telling , he had been using from the beginning, to the point that he gained Australian citizenship, for so reason – I'm guessing it was about control of sothing and given how I know the Australian governnts tax foreigners about minimising tax and to be able to own land.He took pleasure in abusing the ability I had given him to deal with matters, on the basis that I believed we were going to marry and that I was willing to share everything I had with him."Anna Jones said in a rushed way, before taking a deep breath.
"What did he do?"
"In Australia we have sothing called Powers of Attorney, which allow soone to act for soone else.I won't go into the technicalities, as knowing I'll get into so long wind statent …"
"Are you a lawyer in Australia?" interrupted Hou Yi.Suddenly that sense of recognition he previously had co back again.This almost clinched it for him, it was not simply that he felt that he was seeing soone who looked like her, it was the woman who captured his attention in lbourne, at Hou Enterprises Australian Lawyers, ANX Lawyers, particularly as he knew Lu Jinhu lived in lbourne.He felt his heart racing, in that there was the possibility that he could form a relationship with the woman he fell for on sight, but he did not want to jump to conclusions.Could fate step in and on the day that he was to marry another woman, which looks like not happening now, the woman he fell in love with on sight cos into his life.He felt though he would not push her as to where she worked, as he did not want the crushing disappointnt if it was not her, as with everything else he knew he would not cope.
"I am.Lu Jinhu has done everything that I advise my clients to protect themselves about.Well to go back to what I was saying.I gave him this Power of Attorney, so he could deal with things like the Power Company, Phone Company, Internet Supplier etc, as his na was on none of the bills.Without it those companies would not have dealt with him, so I thought that I was making our lives easier.What he told , was that he has taken everything that I own, and I'm guessing that he though has left with about a million Australian dollars of debt while he enjoys more than that in assets.He seemingly laughed about what he had done.He and Yang Lin will enjoy everything I worked for and ruin ."
Anna Jones, as she was talking observed Hou Yi face and realised at the ntion of Yang Lin's na sothing was wrong.
"What's wrong?" Anna Jones asked Hou Yi.
"I guess we both have been taken for a ride by Lu Jinhu and Yang Lin", ca the harsh reply.
"What do you an?" questioned Anna Jones.
"Well I was ant to et Yang Lin outside the Civil Administration Bureau today at 3:15pm for our civil ceremony, but I guess that will not be happening now, because it would be too much of a coincidence of the marriage, and what I saw when I looked around the corner a few minutes ago."
Anna looked at Hou Yi realising that there was more to the situation than she first realised about getting at her.
