On the day of breaking off the engagement, I got married to my ex-uncle

Thousands of miles away in Country M, Xu Yuanmo stood in front of a towering French window, his backlit, his facial expression unclear. He had smooth black hair, a hint of unruly air, and was turning an exquisite gilded fountain pen in his hand, looking domineering.

At the side, his chief assistant, named Sime, was tall and had sharp and shining eyes, which were definitely not the eyes of ordinary people. "Sir, the data analysis of the previous few quarters of major cities has been summarized. The land you bought in Jincheng has appreciated in value, and now someone is willing to invest in it."

Xu Yuanmo did not answer immediately. He put down the pen in his hand and slowly adjusted his expensive suit. Then he said softly, "Really? Then let's talk about this. If someone is willing to take over the land in Jincheng, just multiply the money several times and make a lot of money."

Sime nodded and quickly wrote down Xu Yuanmo's instructions. "Please rest assured, I will arrange it immediately. But there is one personal matter I may need to remind you of: the land in Jincheng originally belonged to Qingshan Orphanage. If you plan to stop, you may need to think carefully."

Hearing this, Xu Yuanmo raised his eyebrows, and the world in his eyes seemed to be covered by a faint worry. What kind of existence is an orphanage? Can the land full of innocent laughter continue to be so pure and beautiful? He hesitated for only a moment, and then made a decisive decision.

"Don't worry. The significance of that land is too great to be measured simply by money. No matter how much I spend, I will not let it fall into the hands of someone who does not know its value."

Sime took a half step back, a trace of respect on his face. "Your kindness and foresight determine the future of Xu Group. Please rest assured that I will strictly follow your instructions."

The warm sun shone into the office obliquely. Xu Yuanmo's eyes slightly raised, his gaze fell on the dazzling city skyline, and he said silently in his heart: Jincheng, when I come back, the future of that land will be confirmed.

Same time, different place; same determination, different worries.

Chu Xixi stood in front of the window, quietly watching the falling leaves, feeling sad but unable to vent. After the quarrel and misunderstanding with Xu Yuanmo, and Uncle Li's sudden hospitalization, she was already exhausted. Now she knew that the orphanage was facing the crisis of being acquired by a developer, and her future suddenly became more bleak.

People have the same determination and different worries at this moment.

At this time, Gong Shang was pacing in the mansion, with a proud look on his face, his brows furrowed, his face full of determination and melancholy. He suddenly stopped in front of the fireplace, staring at the quietly burning flames, trying to radiate the annoyance in his heart, but deep in his eyes there was an abyss that could hide countless secrets.

"Whether you admit it or not, the land of the orphanage originally belonged to me, and I am the director of this orphanage." Gong Shang said calmly but firmly, and the confidence in his tone left no room for doubt.

At this moment, Xu Yuanmo walked briskly into the room with the heater on. He also brought back some exotic souvenirs. As he smiled and presented his treasure, Gong Shang tightly grasped the soup spoon with ancient patterns in his hand, becoming more and more self-respecting and unyielding.

The room fell silent for a moment. The visual draft of the design plan in Chu Xixi's hand was simple and chaotic, scattered on the snow-white floor. No one dared to touch it for a long time. Most of the room was still the unchanged and empty corridor. The deep winter chill in the room chilled people's hearts. Sad and heartbroken feelings attacked Chu Xixi every moment.

"Didn't you say that you came here for the land? Shouldn't we have a positive attitude?" Gong Shang's face was ashen, and he slowly sat down on the sofa.

Chu Xixi supported her body with her arms, curled up and lay quietly on the sofa, and asked calmly: "What about you? Don't you just want to stay with me?"

Time froze at this moment, and the two of them looked at each other closely for a while, as if they were still missing some taste but were unable to describe it.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the gloomy color gradually deepened, as if suggesting that a storm was coming.

Among the high-rise buildings in the suburbs, Chu Xixi walked into the gate of Qingshan Orphanage alone. Time passed quietly here, and the air around her seemed to solidify into mirrors, reflecting the fragmented images of her life, whether sensitive, brave, nostalgic, or sad.

She was worried because the land was the foundation of the orphanage. How could she lose it so easily? The gentle but tough face of the director Liang Shufen became clearer and clearer in her mind. No matter what, she had to protect this home that sheltered her from the wind and rain.

However, the moment she stepped into the dean's office, a gentle yet firm voice cut off all her thoughts.

Chu Xixi's hands tightly gripped the steering wheel, and the car drew an elegant arc on the fast road. Every heartbeat seemed to be praying for the land of Qingshan Orphanage, and every drop of sweat condensed the protection of the past. She couldn't let those children lose their safe haven.

Dark clouds rolled in the sky, but Chu Xixi seemed to be traveling in the calm sea before the storm, her heart already flying to Qingshan Orphanage. Just as she was about to reach her destination, a silver car suddenly blocked in front of her, forcing her to brake suddenly. As soon as the car door opened, a man walked over in a hurry.

"Are you Chu Xixi? I'm Xu Yuanmo." When the man saw her stop the car, his straight-talking tone revealed unquestionable authority.

The man in front of her had a handsome face, but he had the deepest indifference in the world. That faint smile made her heart tighten.

Chu Xixi looked at the man in front of her with a little wariness. His name seemed to resound through the sky, but it became so real at this moment. But she had no time to care about these things now. She suppressed her anger desperately and responded quickly with a little calmness: "It's me. What's the matter?"

"I have a plan regarding the orphanage's land." Xu Yuanmo's words were concise, but they were like a heavy hammer in the wind and rain, smashing into Chu Xixi's heart.

Chu Xixi frowned even more tightly. The gentle but serious words of the director Liang Shufen rang in her ears: "No matter what difficulties we encounter, we must face them bravely. Qingshan Orphanage is our inseparable home."

"What's your plan?" she asked coldly. She knew that in the face of such a storm, retreating would only make the other party look down on her.

Xu Yuanmo seemed to be aware of Chu Xixi's hostility and smiled lightly, but he did not intend to explain more at this time. He took out a business card and handed it to her: "If you really want to protect the orphanage, come to this place tomorrow. We will discuss in detail."

Chu Xixi took the business card and let the rain wet the corners of it. She took a deep breath, held the business card in her palm, and turned to walk towards the orphanage.

As soon as she stepped into the orphanage, she was greeted by the familiar air and a group of cheerful children. The children's laughter drowned out the sound of the wind outside, but it could not hide the surging current in Chu Xixi's heart. She knew that the day of the decisive battle was coming.

At this time, in the office building in the city center, Xu Yuanmo leaned against the window, his arms folded across his chest, his eyes deep.

"Children need to take care of each other because they are the best family members."

Chu Xixi raised her head and her eyes met Liang Shufen's. Memories from parallel time and space came together, and tears surged out like a tide.

She couldn't express her excitement and gratitude in words. Such a solid and warm space was the source of her courage and strength to keep moving forward.

"Thank you, Dean Liang. Thank you for taking good care of them for so long, and thank you for making this family complete." Chu Xixi said softly, tears blurring her vision and then turning into crystal drops of water, dripping onto the soil that had nourished her.

At this moment, Liang Shufen's face showed a kind smile, she understood Chu Xixi's gratitude. When they looked at each other, countless words echoed in her heart, and what she wanted to hear most was undoubtedly the sincere thanks at the door of the orphanage.

"Thank you, Chu Xixi." Liang Shufen said softly with a smile in her eyes.

And in this atmosphere of warmth and memories, a figure suddenly disappeared in the shadow outside the door. It was Xu Yuanmo. Looking at this person who made him fall in love at first sight, he made a secret decision in his heart.

No matter how unknown the future is, he will accompany her and protect this home.

Gong Shang walked with light yet heavy steps, pausing in front of the small white box, and staring at the podium in front of him. The air was filled with lingering glory, but he could not feel the coldness, so he did not straighten up for the time being. His appearance maintained his usual charming smile. "Xixi, you still have me, it's okay."

Chu Xixi, who had not had a good night's rest, tiredly raised the corners of her mouth and smiled slightly, giving Gong Shanghua a beautiful look. She stood up, holding Li Mingyun's arm, and straightened up the Nao Nao that she had been thinking about for many years.

"I'm very grateful that you can come. Thank you, you've worked hard." She said, not at all surprised by the astonishment of the crowd. After all, apart from her ex-boyfriend who worked in risk control, Dean Qin Xueming, who had worked with her many times, was the only one who knew that she had a connection with real estate.

Suddenly, the door of the studio rang, and Qin Shiyu rushed in breathlessly. "Xixi, have you heard? Someone has taken a fancy to the land of our orphanage and wants to buy it out to build a golf course!" Qin Shiyu said hurriedly, with obvious anxiety on his face.

Chu Xixi instantly came back to her senses from her design draft, her face darkened. That was her home, a safe haven for countless children, how could it be taken away at will? She had to take action, even if she had to go to the city government to fight for it.

"I have to go and see Dean Liang Shufen to see what the situation is." Chu Xixi said resolutely and immediately put the design draft aside.

At the same time, in a luxurious villa in the north of the city, Xu Yuanmo was resting with his eyes closed, with a faint smile on his face. Various contracts and documents were piled up around him, but he seemed to be focused.

"Mr. Xu, you will be returning to Jincheng next week. Are you going to deal with the land issue regarding Qingshan Orphanage?" the assistant asked cautiously.

Xu Yuanmo did not answer immediately, but slowly opened his eyes, with a hint of unquestionable arrogance in his eyes. "Yes, deal with that little thing." He stood up and looked out the window, his tone calm and meaningful. He didn't know that in the city he was about to return to, he would not only face the land problem of the orphanage, but also the girl he fell in love with at first sight, Chu Xixi.

Chu Xixi's anxiety and haste that morning could almost be read from her tense brows. She stood in front of the gate of Qingshan Orphanage, took a deep breath of cold air, and tried to calm herself down. Under the old locust tree in the yard, several children were chasing and playing, and their carefree appearance made her feel a little relieved. But this calmness was only temporary.

As soon as Chu Xixi walked into the office, Liang Shufen came up to her with a worried look on her face: "Xixi, you're here at the right time. There are some things we have to deal with immediately."

Chu Xixi nodded. She knew that Liang Shufen was talking about the orphanage's land. She asked nervously, "Director, what happened?"

Liang Shufen led her to sit aside, her voice full of worry: "A developer has taken a fancy to this piece of land. They plan to build a golf course, and the government seems to support it."

This news was like a heavy bomb, shaking Chu Xixi's heart. Qingshan Orphanage was not only the place where she grew up, but also her spiritual support. She couldn't let this place be taken away easily.

At this moment, Xu Yuanmo was standing in front of the French window of his office, looking at the city skyline in the distance, with a complicated look in his eyes. His cell phone suddenly rang. It was a message from his assistant, with a few simple words: "There has been new progress."
