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

The scene in front of her made Chu Xixi slightly absent-minded, and an indescribable feeling surged in her heart. The woman in front of her, who was shining under the light, seemed to have drawn a clear line with her past.

She turned her head and saw Xu Yuanmo's deep gaze. In his eyes, besides admiration, there was also a hint of indescribable expectation.

"Have you heard of her name? Chu Xixi." Xu Yuanmo asked.

Chu Xixi shook her head. She had indeed never heard of this director. But her intuition told her that this opportunity might be the starting point of her new life.

"Her name is Milan, and she is a very talented drama director. She has extensive experience overseas and is planning to return to China for development soon. You can cooperate with her in your fashion designer competition, starting with her drama costume design." Xu Yuanmo whispered, his tone revealing his affirmation of Milan.

Chu Xixi was slightly surprised. She had never expected that a breakup would unexpectedly bring her such an opportunity. She had always dreamed of having her designs on a wider stage. Although she had submitted several works before, they had never been reused.

Thinking about it now, perhaps the turning point of fate is precisely produced in the midst of difficulties and challenges. Her ex's cheating became the beginning of another journey for her.

"However, you have to be prepared. Milan has extremely high requirements for her work and pursues perfection. Before working together, she will get to know you in depth, not just your design." Xu Yuanmo added, his eyes lingering on Chu Xixi for a few seconds, as if he was assessing something.

Chu Xixi nodded. She knew what she needed. Even if the road ahead was full of thorns, she had the courage to face it. As long as she could step onto the stage she had always dreamed of, as long as she could prove her own value, the pain and suffering would turn into light that illuminated the road ahead.

Thus, the warm yellow light in the cafe witnessed the beginning of Chu Xixi's transition from frustration to a new life. And the new world that seemed so unreal to her also quietly sprouted in her heart...

The piano music slowly stopped, and the silence in the room was almost audible. The woman slowly turned around, revealing a face that looked like a screen star, but with a lofty temperament that made people dare not blaspheme. She smiled at Chu Xixi, and it was obvious that she was not surprised that Xu Yuanmo brought people here.

"My name is Qu Zhaoyan, and I hope you are someone with aspirations." The woman's voice was still very contagious, and the simple introduction brought out her confidence.

Chu Xixi looked at Xu Yuanmo. She had never seen such an outstanding woman. She felt as if she saw a ray of light in the darkness.

Xu Yuanmo stripped off the breathtaking brilliance and looked at Qu Zhaoyan calmly, "As long as she is willing, she can give it a try."

Obviously, Chu Xixi had no intention of refutation.

As if she had sensed something, Qu Zhaoyan tilted her head slightly and stared at Chu Xixi again, "Would you like to try to invest in a drama?"

Chu Xixi did not hesitate. Although she had never done it before, nothing bothered her. The time for hesitation was over. "What should I use as an investment? I just want to invest in myself now."

Qu Zhaoyan smiled. She admired such ambitious people. In her own words, "Only ambition can make people's lives meaningful."

It was in this atmosphere that Chu Xixi joined Qu Zhaoyan's work team and devoted herself to the production of the drama.

During this period, the relationship between Chu Xixi and Qu Zhaoyan progressed unexpectedly smoothly, while Xu Yuanmo seemed to have become an outsider.

Even so, Xu Yuanmo did not show any dissatisfaction. He had been silently paving the way for Chu Xixi behind the scenes.

No one knows how much Xu Yuanmo contributed to Qu Zhaoyan's choice.

With another important performance coming up, Chu Xixi became Qu Zhaoyan's most trusted assistant. Every detail went through her hands, and every performance had her contribution.

However, at this moment, Huo Hangfan appeared again.

He appeared in front of Chu Xixi, but did not humiliate Chu Xixi like before. He looked at Chu Xixi with eyes that seemed to be thinking about something. Then, he turned to look at Xu Yuanmo, his eyes revealing doubt and inquiry.

Huo Hangfan was very direct during this visit. He proposed to use Chu Xixi's power to cooperate with Xu Yuanmo.

However, the sudden proposal surprised Xu Yuanmo, Chu Xixi and Qu Zhaoyan, but...

Chu Xixi retracted her gaze and nodded slightly. The person who hurried out from behind the studio door made her eyes light up. That person was none other than the actress Meng Xiaochen who was once a little famous in the film and television industry. She took off her heavy makeup and put on a simple long dress. Even without the halo of a star, it was still difficult to conceal her potential brilliance.

Meng Xiaochen was a little surprised when she saw Chu Xixi. Then, she smiled, her tone revealing a bit of surprise and helplessness: "Xixi, why is it you? You know, I am no longer the one in front of the camera."

"I know that the glory of the past cannot represent the present," Chu Xixi chuckled, "It seems that we have all encountered similar experiences and are looking for a new direction in life."

Xu Yuanmo silently observed the two women, with a slight smile on his face. He could feel that Chu Xixi had found some resonance in Meng Xiaochen, and this was exactly the beginning he had been expecting.

Suddenly, a sharp laugh rang out in the cafe, and the piano music stopped abruptly. Chu Xixi and Meng Xiaochen turned around and saw a woman dressed up in fancy clothes standing at the door of the conference room. Her sharp eyes and contemptuous laughter were obviously malicious.

"Oh, isn't this our Meng Xiaochen? From a movie queen to a supporting actress, and now she's fallen to this small coffee shop. The ups and downs of life are really exciting." The woman's words were like a cold wind, blowing in his face.

Meng Xiaochen raised his eyebrows, obviously used to this kind of ridicule: "Thank you for your concern, but I think I'm fine now. It's not much better than your days when you had to put on a smile but were restless."

The woman was slightly stunned, obviously not expecting Meng Xiaochen to be so outspoken. The scene was deadlocked for a while, and the atmosphere was solemn.

Just as the two women were exchanging glances, Xu Yuanmo stepped out leisurely and broke the deadlock with a smile: "Ms. Meng is here to discuss important cooperation, not to listen to boring gossip. Sorry, please leave."

Seeing that she couldn't gain the upper hand, the unruly woman walked away angrily. Xu Yuanmo turned to look at Chu Xixi and Meng Xiaochen, with encouragement in his eyes.

"The Beijing Grand Theater is preparing a new play," he said lightly, "I believe Miss Meng has the ability to take on the leading role, and Chu Xixi, as a producer, your vision and talent are obvious to all. This may be a rare opportunity, are you ready?"

The two women looked at each other, their eyes full of unprecedented fighting spirit. However, at this moment, as if fate had started again, an urgent phone call interrupted everything.

When the door opened gently, Chu Xixi's eyes fell on the back through the light, and her heart could not help but surge. Her footsteps and breathing seemed to disturb the peaceful scene. The piano sound stopped abruptly, and the woman slowly turned around with a warm smile on her face.

"Ms. Chu, this is my wife, Su Yuqing. She is not only accomplished in music, but also has profound attainments in various arts. I believe you will have common topics."

Su Yuqing stood up slightly and held out her hand: "Nice to meet you, Miss Chu."

Chu Xixi gently shook hands with Su Yuqing. Su Yuqing's fingers were slender, and the curve of her fingertips was like the beating of piano keys, exuding an invisible artistic charm. At this moment, Chu Xixi seemed to see another kind of light, a kind of artistic light that did not belong to designers. She had a premonition that this meeting would bring new changes to her life.

"Hello, Mrs. Xu." Chu Xixi responded, with appreciation and curiosity obvious in her eyes.

"Please take a seat, Miss Chu." Su Yuqing pointed to the seat opposite and then sat down. The two of them sat face to face, like old friends who had been waiting for a long time.

The night outside the window fell quietly, but the conversation in the private room became more and more heated. Chu Xixi and Su Yuqing quickly became closer in these few words. They talked about everything, from music to design, from fashion trends to avant-garde artworks, as if they had found a soulmate. This high-frequency interaction not only brought their hearts closer, but also provided more possibilities for the cooperation mentioned by Xu Yuanmo.

In Su Yuqing's body, Chu Xixi felt a power like a clear spring, washing away her fatigue and lighting up the source of inspiration that was squeezed by reality. This warm current slowly flowed from her heart, making her full of new expectations for tomorrow.

It was not until the end of the conversation that Chu Xixi realized that it was already late at night. She walked out of the cafe accompanied by Xu Yuanmo. The cool evening breeze brushed her face, and her heart seemed to have a new direction.

When Chu Xixi made eye contact with Xu Yuanmo, she had a premonition that this person, this woman, would create a new chapter in her life.

The piano music gradually faded, and the woman slowly stood up again. She turned around and faced Chu Xixi and Xu Yuanmo. She was the famous drama director, Milan. Her eyes were filled with an unpredictable gentleness, like the light hidden in the eyes of a wise man.

Milan came over and stretched out her hand. "Ms. Chu, I'm Milan." She looked elegant and dignified.

Chu Xixi's heart was filled with more respect for Milan, and she smiled and extended her hand. "Ms. Milan, I have heard of your great name for a long time."

After closing the door and leaving, Xu Yuanmo sat down next to Chu Xixi. His expression remained calm, as if he was an outsider.

When Milan saw Xu Yuanmo, her smile became even wider, and then she began to talk in an infectious voice about her love and pursuit of stage art, how the characters she created gave her strength and courage, and how she used stage art to change her own and others' lives.

During this period, Chu Xixi always remained focused, and looking at Milan's eyes, she felt an unprecedented shock.

This woman, her talent and her perseverance, make it impossible not to admire her.

Just like that, when Xu Yuanmo saw the light in Chu Xixi's eyes as she listened to Milan's sharing, his heart suddenly beat faster.

He knew that Chu Xixi had found her direction.

She found her own world, which was the stage she loved and pursued bravely.

This time, she was no longer making a passive choice, but taking the initiative to move forward.

Xu Yuanmo knew that he could no longer stop her.

Because that is her stage, her passion, her life.

At this moment, he understood that he could only be a passer-by in her life, and she would be his lifelong pain.

Just as Chu Xixi was deeply moved by Milan's words, there was a hurried sound of car brakes outside the coffee shop...

Suddenly, the lights in the room went out...

When the song ended, the complicated piano notes slowly disappeared into the room like the ebb tide of the sea. Chu Xixi tightly grasped the bandage in her hand, her eyes slightly lowered, and her mood was inexplicably moved.

The woman operating the piano turned around, her long curly hair gleaming in the light, revealing a tenacious glow. Her face was calm, but there was an assaulting power in her eyes, like the northern lights over the sea, brilliant and mysterious.

"Milan?" Chu Xixi called out in a low voice.
