chapter 3 Let's rent it as a shield, right?

It was a luxurious manor-style villa, various of expensive cars were parked in front of it. Rachit followed Diana into the manor.
The courtyard was decorated with flowers and colorful balloons.
The heart-shaped arches and fragrant roses all indicated that a grand wedding is about to take place here.
Men and women were scattered in groups in the courtyard, everyone pinched a glass of red wine and chatted in low voice, as if they were waiting for the hero and heroine of this feast to appear.
When they saw Diana walks in, everyone's eyes were attracted to her.
This woman really has her own halo, she shined wherever she went.
"She is Diana who is about to get engaged to Young Mr. Berry."
"So beautiful! She has a good figure too."
"Sure... as to Young Mr. Berry's status, only such a beautiful woman is worthy of him."
"Hey... isn't it her engagement party with Young Mr. Berry today? Why she comes in a sports suit? Doesn't she think it too rude?"
"Who is the man next to her?"
"I haven't seen him before. He must be a bodyguard, right?"
"Bodyguard? Have you ever seen the bodyguard and the owner wearing couple's costumes?"
"I've heard that Diana doesn't seem to like Young Mr. Berry and has been opposing the engagement party arranged for her by her family."
"Holy crap, who is Young Mr. Berry? That's our Highest Young Master for Zintech city. None of women want to marry him. How is this possible?"
"Haha... It's not impossible. Doesn't the person in front of me not want to marry him?"
"I think this Diana is completely crazy."
"I don't think she's crazy, she might already have a boyfriend, so she doesn't want to marry Young Mr. Berry!"
"Tch...just the man next to her?"
"Maybe!"
"Although this man is good-looking and has a good figure, I have never seen him before. He must not have any background, right? Humph... A guy without background wants to snatch a woman from Young Mr. Berry? Totally overreached himself! Does he want to die shamefully?"
"I don't know if he is tired of living, but I know that there will probably be some drama things to watch at this engagement party today."
Diana walked through the crowd with an indifferent expression. These people's comments did not seem to affect her.
She walked straight into the main villa in the manor's courtyard.
A middle-aged woman came up to her with an ebullient smile, took Diana's hand and said, "Diana, honey, you are finally here. You made me worry for a long time thinking you wouldn't come."
"Mom, I promised you that I would show up here and I would never break my words." Diana said expressionlessly.
This woman is Diana's mother, Eartha.
Was seeing Diana's cold attitude, Rachit was speechless.
Even if this woman treats others coldly, she also treats her own mother with a look of indifference. Who would be like that?
"It's good to come, that's nice, Diana, hurry up and change into a dress, the engagement party will start soon." Eartha pulled Diana and walked to the back of the villa.
However, Diana did not move. Instead shook off her mother's hand and said lightly, "Unnecessary."
"How can you wear sportswear in engagement banquet? You have to change!"
"Mom, I said I would come, but I didn't say I was getting engaged to Zeph Berry today."
Eartha's brows furrowed, and her face turned sullen, she shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about, girl?"
"I didn't speak nonsense."
"Diana Cyrus, I don't care why you don't want to marry Young Mr. Berry. I warn that you have to get married today even you reluctant to." Eartha roared angrily.
"Mom, please don't force me!"
"What am I forcing you to do? Who is Young Mr. Berry? He is the most excellent young man in Zintech city. The Berry Family has tens of billions of assets. If you marry him, you can enjoy happiness for the rest of your life!"
"Ten billion of assets? So what?" Diana curled her lips.
"I'm doing these whole things for your happiness!"
"For me? You decided to let me to marry Zeph Berry because you covet his family's power and money!" Diana said with a sarcastic look.
"How dare you talked to mom like this?"
"Mom, let me tell you, I will never get engaged to Zeph Berry, let alone..."Diana turned around and took a deep look at Rachit when she was halfway through speaking.
Eartha heart tightened and asked, "What's more?"
"I'm already married!" Diana said calmly.
"Getting married? How is this possible? Why don't I know that as your mother?"
"Mom, this year, I taught in Spirit Village, where I met the man in my life." Diana took Rachit's arm, looked at him deeply, and said, "Mom, this is My husband, Rachit."
To everyone, Diana's looked at Rachit as affectionate as possible in her eyes.
Only Rachit knew the true relationship between themselves. This woman's acting was really good. It would be a pity not to become an actress.
Of course, there is no one can know daughter better than mother. When everyone was moved by Diana's deep affection, Eartha curled her lips and said disdainfully, "What husband? I think this guy was temporarily rented by you as a shield, right?"
"Auntie is right. Diana found a man here just to make me angry."
A young man in twenties walked over gracefully wearing an exquisite dress.
This man was Zeph, the leading actor of today's banquet. He looked at Diana affectionately and said, "Diannie, what happened that time was a misunderstanding. I'm not that kind of person."
"Misunderstanding?" Diana's expression had nothing change and said calmly, "So what if it's a misunderstanding?"
"Honey, as long as you marry me, I promise that I will treat you as an only one in the future. I swear to make you the happiest woman in the world."
"In the future?" Diana shook her head and said calmly, "We don't have past, and also will not have the present, let alone the future. Zeph Berry, whether it happened that time or not, I can tell you clearly today, I have never liked you, I didn't like you before, and there is impossible that I will like you in the future.”
"Dian, do you really want me to take out my heart and show it to you?"
"Your heart? I'm not interested." Diana Cyrus shook her head and spoke.
"Fine! Diana, even if you don't like me and don't want to be engaged to me, you can still tell me that we can just cancel the engagement banquet. You don't need to rent a man to make me angry！"
"Rent?" Diana smiled.
This was the first time Rachit saw her smile after he met her. Although it was a sarcastic smile, it was still like a blooming snow lotus, so beautiful!
"Isn't it?" Zeph asked.
To be honest, Zeph seemed to know Diana quite well. He never glanced at Rachit from beginning to end. He really thought that this guy was just hired by her to piss him off.
Where did he get this confidence?
