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

In the private reception room, Chu Xixi sat with some well-known designers, all of whom were masters from the design world at home and abroad. In the middle of the meeting room, someone raised a very challenging project topic.

Everyone expressed their own views, and Chu Xixi also joined in, sharing her experience and creativity accumulated in design work. She felt that everything she had about her design concepts seemed to have the most real opportunity to be demonstrated here.

Here, it is not only a place for communication and learning, but also a dream stage set up for her. Everyone's topic makes her heart beat faster and her thoughts burst out. It turns out that the road of design can be so diverse and so passionate.

As they were discussing heatedly, the topic somehow turned to the background and future development of designers. Someone mentioned the impact of the resource support and financial investment of the designer's studio on the success or failure of the project.

Chu Xixi unconsciously tightened the pen in her hand. She had always relied on her diligence and perseverance. But in this circle, resources and background are sometimes more important than personal efforts.

"So, what do you think about the emerging forces in Jincheng's design world?" Someone turned the topic to Jincheng's emerging design forces, who are famous for their innovation and vitality.

Listening to other designers talking about names she had heard of or had never touched, Chu Xixi felt the pressure on her shoulders suddenly increase. She couldn't help but begin to question her own path: Is it only by relying on the mountains or joining the rich and powerful that she can go further on this path?

The discussion ended, and everyone left one after another. Chu Xixi was also about to leave. Just as she turned around, Xu Yuanmo walked out from the corner.

"Don't leave so soon. We have something better to show you." He smiled, with a hint of mystery in his tone.

He took Chu Xixi to the projection screen in the conference room. She was stunned by the draft cooperation plan and funding table displayed on the screen.

"This is..." Chu Xixi's voice was hoarse.

"This is our support for you and the beginning of tonight." Xu Yuanmo looked at her with determination in his eyes.

Chu Xixi stood at the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau, her eyes slightly red, her heart calm. She held in her hand the wedding ring that once symbolized a bright future, but now it was just a piece of cold metal. The originally bright sky seemed to sense her sadness, and it was covered with dark clouds, and the wind was a little chilly.

She threw the ring to the ground, making a crisp sound. Just now, she saw the irrefutable evidence on Huo Hangfan's phone - the laughter between him and Zhao Xueer, and the ambiguous conversations between lovers. It turned out that the person she had always trusted, the person she had always thought would accompany her for the rest of her life, had a secret behind him.

"Xixi, have you ever thought that maybe what you see is not the whole truth?" Qin Shiyu hurried over and tried to comfort her. But Chu Xixi's heart had already been chilled to the extreme. She smiled and shook her head, letting the tears slide down her face quietly.

"Shiyu, thank you for always being by my side. But this time, I think I need to be alone." Chu Xixi said, gently pushing away Qin Shiyu who had always wanted to accompany her. Her lonely back made people feel distressed.

Just as Chu Xixi turned to leave, a tall figure approached her from the side. Xu Yuanmo, a sudden existence in her life, appeared like an angel after the accident and saved her from death. His voice was low and charming: "Xixi, follow me."

Chu Xixi didn't ask any more questions, but just followed him silently, not knowing where this man would take her. Xu Yuanmo took her to an exquisite cafe, and after they sat down, he suddenly asked, "Do you believe in fate?"

Chu Xixi smiled bitterly, "Destiny? If destiny really exists, why did it give me such a blow?" She said weakly, with confusion in her eyes.

Xu Yuanmo shook his head gently, his eyes were deep, as if he could see through her soul, "Perhaps, all this is just the beginning of fate letting you meet someone better."

At this time, thunder rumbled outside and the rain began to fall even harder. But in this small cafe, watching the raindrops hitting the glass through the window, the air between the two was particularly warm. There was an indescribable firmness and tenderness in Xu Yuanmo's eyes. He stretched out his hand, "Xixi, give me a chance, let me take care of you."

Chu Xixi looked at the hand he extended to her, and the ice in her heart seemed to have loosened at this moment. She hesitated for a moment, and finally, she slowly stretched out her hand and held his tightly.

During the dinner, the light reflected from the diamond bracelet given by Wen Xiuqin on Chu Xixi's hand scattered on the table, and a playful voice came to her ears.

"Huo Hangfan, you know that the desserts in this restaurant are famously delicious, so I came here specially tonight." Qianqian's face was filled with a sweet smile, just like the scene at today's banquet, shining and charming.

Huo Hangfan smiled and rubbed Qianqian's hair, saying lovingly, "As long as you like it."

Huo Hangfan stood up and tried to pull out a chair, and gently invited Qianqian to sit down. Then, his duty as an actor allowed him to still put on a ruthless face in front of Chu Xixi, "I won't bother you now, will I? You stray dog."

"Huo Hangfan, don't think that I will give up cooperation with Lin's company just because you said that. This matter was decided jointly by the board of directors." Chu Xixi glanced at him, and her face full of hatred for evil was like a long-lasting bell ringing in a sunny day.

Qianqian lowered her eyes, unable to hide her sadness, "I heard that it's a very promising project. Well...then you can start over with your Jie Fengzhu, isn't he very capable? Come on." Qianqian tried her best not to laugh out loud, "But don't bribe reporters to whitewash it like before, or it will scare the children."

At the same time, Liang Shufen was talking on the phone in her old seat next to the French window. "Don't mention it. Huo Hangfan's cuckold alliance is about to burst the hotel door. I didn't expect that Chu Xixi is quite likable. I really look forward to their future cooperation."

As for Song Yian and Gong Shang, the two troublemakers who only want the world to be in chaos, Chu Xixi was a little puzzled when she heard that Huo Hangfan's new lover had broken off the engagement. Later, after she found out it was a misunderstanding, she concentrated on curling up on the sofa and browsing her phone, which was extremely lively. When Gong Shang came to his senses and released the surveillance footage, everyone knew what had happened.

Huo Hangfan only went out for a midnight snack, but he looked so miserable. His embarrassed expression was even more pitiful than a dog that had lost its home. Chu Xixi snorted at him arrogantly, pulled Qianqian up and strode out of the hotel together.

Dean Lu hates people who speak without using profanity. "You deserve this humiliation!"

In a trance, Chu Xixi felt the lightness of the land of fish and water at today's dinner.

Xu Yuanmo beside her was like a thick red stroke, which made people exclaim. Looking at the end of the red carpet, they were walking into it together, like an unforgettable wedding. For some reason, she suddenly thought that since she met him, it was as if she had experienced a dream as bright as fireworks, which made people dazzled.

The center of the banquet was a gorgeously decorated paradise, with a huge crystal chandelier scattered on the ceiling like stars, reflecting dazzling light. The surrounding area was filled with a wide variety of delicious feasts, and each dish looked exquisite and delicious.

Xu Yuanmo led her to the inner circle, where those people who could only be seen in various news reports were toasting and chatting happily. It seemed that his status in this circle was more prominent than she had imagined before.

"Xixi, let's go find some people to talk to first." His voice was magnetic. She put down her wine glass and naturally followed him as the guests were drinking and chatting.

They came to the main stage of the banquet, and Chu Xixi realized that the significance of this banquet was far beyond her imagination. In the crowd, a familiar figure appeared in front of her. It was her old enemy, and even her strong rival on the road to advancement—Su Yuqing. Not only that, standing next to Su Yuqing was the prominent Mr. Liang Shiru.

Su Yuqing squinted her mouth, her sparkling eyes full of hostility.

"Ms. Chu, congratulations on coming to our dinner." Su Yuqing said stiffly, with sarcasm evident in her words.

She smiled and said, "Ms. Su, are you here to prevent me from becoming outdated?" Chu Xixi's words were gentle but every word was precious.

"No way, you are so energetic now, I dare not steal your glory."

During the verbal battle, she, who has taken the position of design consultant of CR Group, clearly demonstrated her confidence and strength.

After the dinner, Chu Xixi hummed a cheerful tune and returned to her car, but she did not expect that one problem would be solved before another. As soon as she got in the car, she received an urgent call from the studio - a shareholder came to force her to go back and deal with it personally.

In Chu Xixi's life, every time she shuttles between the busy city and the bright lights under the night sky, she can clearly feel the loneliness of being out of place. As a designer, her life is filled with silence in front of the computer screen all day and the ruthless criticism of customers. She always strives to maintain a balance mentally and emotionally.

Just as she was about to finish her call with Huo Hangfan and start working overtime late at night, a call from an unfamiliar number suddenly flashed on her phone screen. Chu Xixi frowned and wanted to ignore it, but for some reason, she finally pressed the answer button.

"Xixi, long time no see. It's me, Xu Yuanmo." A low and slightly magnetic voice came from the other end of the phone, making her unable to react for a moment.

"Xu Yuanmo? You are--" Chu Xixi tried hard to search for the owner of this name in her memory, but those memories seemed to have disappeared with the wind.

“Well, we once worked together briefly on a public project, but you may not remember it.” There was a hint of playfulness in his voice. “I have a new project now and I need an outstanding designer. The first person I thought of was you. I wonder if you are interested?”
