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

Chu Xixi only felt a buzzing in her ears, and the doctor's voice seemed to come from a distant void. She could not hear or see anything, and could only feel a huge panic overwhelming her.

"Xixi! Xixi!" Qin Shiyu shook her shoulders vigorously, "Don't scare me!"

A tear fell from the corner of Chu Xixi's eye. She leaned weakly on Qin Shiyu's shoulder and asked in a trembling voice, "How could this happen... How could he..."

Qin Shiyu's eyes were also red. She hugged Chu Xixi tightly and said with a sob, "Don't be afraid, Xixi, I'm still here. I will always be with you..."

Chu Xixi closed her eyes and let the tears flow freely.

Huo Hangfan died. The man who once said he loved her and would take care of her for the rest of her life left this world just like that.

Although their relationship had broken down long ago and she no longer had any attachment to him, she still couldn't help but feel a wave of pain in her heart when she heard the news.

Perhaps, it was because I once loved him that I felt so sad and upset when I heard the news of his death.

The hospital corridor was filled with the smell of disinfectant mixed with a faint smell of blood, which made people feel depressed and suffocated.

Chu Xixi and Qin Shiyu sat on the bench, silent for a long time.

"Xixi, don't be too sad. The dead cannot be resurrected. You..."

"I know." Chu Xixi took a deep breath and suppressed the grief in her heart, "I just... I just can't accept it..."

"I understand." Qin Shiyu patted the back of her hand gently, "Don't worry, I will accompany you to deal with his funeral."

Chu Xixi nodded and said nothing.

At this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded behind them: "Deal with the aftermath? Oh, he's dead, what does it have to do with you?"

Chu Xixi and Qin Shiyu turned around at the same time, and saw a tall, fashionably dressed woman standing behind them. She had exquisite makeup on her face, her lips were as red as fire, but her eyes were as cold as ice.

It’s Zhao Xueer.

"Zhao Xueer, what are you doing here?" Qin Shiyu stood up, stood in front of Chu Xixi, and glared at Zhao Xueer, "You are not welcome here, get out!"

"Go away? Why should I go away?" Zhao Xueer sneered, "I am Huo Hangfan's girlfriend. It is only natural for me to come here to see him off for the last time!"

"Girlfriend? You still have the nerve to say that?" Qin Shiyu pointed at her nose and cursed, "Who do you think you are? You are just a mistress, a bitch who destroys other people's feelings!"

"You..." Zhao Xueer's face changed and she raised her hand to hit Qin Shiyu.

"Snapped!"

With a crisp sound, before Zhao Xueer's hand could fall, Chu Xixi slapped her hard.

"Chu Xixi, you dare to hit me?!" Zhao Xueer covered her face and looked at Chu Xixi in disbelief.

"I'll beat you if I want to. Do I need to pick a day?" Chu Xixi looked at her coldly, "I'm warning you, Huo Hangfan is dead. You'd better behave yourself, otherwise, I'll make you pay for it!"

Chu Xixi's eyes were as sharp as a knife. Zhao Xueer felt frightened by her gaze. She didn't dare to say anything more and left in shame.

After Zhao Xueer left, Qin Shiyu asked worriedly, "Xixi, are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Chu Xixi shook her head, "Let's go and see him."

Chu Xixi and Qin Shiyu came to the morgue, where Huo Hangfan's body lay quietly, his face pale and bloodless, as if he was asleep.

Chu Xixi looked at Huo Hangfan's remains with mixed feelings.

At this moment, the door of the morgue was suddenly pushed open and a man in a black suit walked in.

The man was tall, with deep facial features, and he exuded a cold aura that made people afraid to approach him.

Chu Xixi and Qin Shiyu looked at the newcomer at the same time, their eyes full of confusion.

The man walked up to Huo Hangfan's body and looked at him coldly. Then he turned around and his eyes fell on Chu Xixi.

"Are you Chu Xixi?" The man's tone was cold, without a trace of emotion.

Chu Xixi frowned slightly and looked at him warily: "Who are you?"

The man sneered and said slowly, "I am here to take your life."

"Doctor, how is he?" Qin Shiyu's voice trembled, and Chu Xixi felt as if her blood had frozen. The doctor's expression was heavy, and he shook his head slowly, "We have tried our best..."

"What?!" Qin Shiyu screamed, tears in her eyes bursting out. Chu Xixi felt her body shaky, and Huo Hangfan's disgusting face in front of her gradually blurred, replaced by a suffocating darkness.

She staggered back a few steps, bumping into the wall behind her before she could stabilize herself. Huo Hangfan was dead? The man who had once clung to her like a piece of taffy and made her hate him so much, was dead just like that? Chu Xixi felt mixed emotions. She couldn't say she was sad, but she couldn't be completely indifferent either.

"Xixi, don't be too sad..." Qin Shiyu cried and hugged Chu Xixi, choking and saying, "It's all my fault. If I hadn't let you..."

"Don't blame you, Shiyu." Chu Xixi patted Qin Shiyu's back gently, trying to calm her chaotic thoughts, "This has nothing to do with you. No one wants this to happen."

The smell of disinfectant filled the corridor of the hospital, mixed with Qin Shiyu's suppressed crying, which seemed particularly cold and piercing. Chu Xixi took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. Huo Hangfan's death was certainly unexpected, but she couldn't just collapse like this, she still had a lot of things to do.

The police arrived quickly, cordoned off the scene, and questioned Chu Xixi and Qin Shiyu. The police said that Huo Hangfan was murdered in his studio, and the murderer was extremely cruel, leaving a lot of blood and traces of fighting at the scene.

"The murderer is so cruel!" Qin Shiyu was horrified and held Chu Xixi's arm tightly, as if he could get a sense of security in this way.

Chu Xixi's face was also pale, but she still tried to stay calm and cooperated with the police's questioning. After answering all the questions, Chu Xixi and Qin Shiyu left the hospital.

"Xixi, what are you going to do now?" Qin Shiyu looked at Chu Xixi worriedly. Huo Hangfan's death was too much of a blow to her.

"I'm fine, Shigure." Chu Xixi forced a smile, "I just want to go back to the studio first, maybe I can find some clues."

"I'll go with you." Qin Shiyu was worried about Chu Xixi going back alone.

Chu Xixi shook her head. "No need, Shi Yu, go back and have a good rest. I can go by myself."

"Well, be careful and call me if you have any problem."

It was late at night when Chu Xixi returned to the studio. The door of the studio was open, and the inside was a mess, with scattered designs and spilled paint everywhere, and a disgusting smell of blood in the air.

Chu Xixi resisted the discomfort in her heart, walked into the studio, and carefully checked every corner, hoping to find some clues. Suddenly, her eyes fell on a design draft in the corner.

It was a design for a wedding dress, with smooth lines and exquisite design, which was exactly what Chu Xixi was thinking about recently. However, this design was stained with blood, which was shocking.

Chu Xixi's heart suddenly sank, and an ominous premonition came to her mind. She picked up the design draft and looked through it carefully, and found a line of crooked words written in bright red on the back:

"Chu Xixi, you can't escape!"

Chu Xixi's pupils shrank suddenly, and a chill ran from the soles of her feet to her head. This line of words was clearly written by Huo Hangfan!

Could it be that Huo Hangfan’s death was related to her?

Chu Xixi only felt a chill on her back, and an inexplicable sense of fear surrounded her tightly...

"Doctor, how is he?" Qin Shiyu's voice was filled with tears, and she grabbed the doctor's white coat and refused to let go.

The doctor shook his head, took off his mask, and said tiredly: "We have tried our best. When the patient was brought in..."

"Impossible!" Chu Xixi's eyes went dark and she almost fainted. Fortunately, Qin Shiyu was quick to support her.

Huo Hangfan is dead?

How could he die?

If he died, what would happen to her 51% stake?

Chu Xixi staggered back a few steps, her mind in a mess. Five years ago, she was so infatuated with love that she actually agreed to Huo Hangfan's request. The studio's legal representative was written in his name, and she only held 51% of the shares. She said that she believed he would definitely marry her, and the studio would be their marital property in the future.

"Xixi, don't be too sad. The dead cannot be resurrected..." Qin Shiyu saw that Chu Xixi's face was pale and thought that she was too sad because of Huo Hangfan's death.

"I..." Chu Xixi opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Her mind is now full of shares and she has no time to be sad.

Damn!

If I had known yesterday, I shouldn't have been so soft-hearted and agreed to give him the share transfer agreement.

"Xixi, don't blame yourself too much. I know you feel bad, but the dead cannot be resurrected. You..."

"Shut up!" Chu Xixi suddenly yelled, scaring Qin Shiyu so much that he stood there in a daze.

Chu Xixi took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. "Shi Yu, I'm fine. I just can't accept it. I'll go out and calm down first."

After saying that, Chu Xixi turned around and left the hospital.

She now needs to find a place to think carefully about how to get back her shares in the studio.

Chu Xixi walked aimlessly on the street and unknowingly arrived at the door of a bar.

"How about we go in and have a drink?" Chu Xixi looked at the flashing neon lights and walked in as if possessed.

The lights in the bar were dim and the deafening music made people dizzy.

Chu Xixi found a seat in a corner and sat down, ordering a glass of the strongest wine.

"Beauty, are you alone?" A greasy voice sounded in my ears.

Chu Xixi looked up and saw a man with a fat face staring at her with lustful eyes.

"Get out!" Chu Xixi spat out a word coldly.

"Wow, it's quite hot! Bro, I like it!" the man said, reaching out to touch Chu Xixi's face.

"Snapped!"

Chu Xixi slapped the man hard in the face with her backhand.

"You bitch, you dare to hit me?!" The man covered his face, furious, and stood up suddenly, looking like he was going to take action.

Seeing this, the people around gathered around and pointed at Chu Xixi.

"These days, little girls will do anything for money!"

"That's right, if you dress like this, you're a prostitute, right?"

"Young people today, the world is really going downhill!"

Listening to the discussions around her, Chu Xixi just felt nauseous.

"Shut up, all of you!" Chu Xixi stood up suddenly, pointed at those people's noses and cursed, "You know nothing, why are you talking nonsense here?!"

"Hey, you're quite arrogant! Do you know who I am? I'm..."

Before the man could finish his words, a hand pressed on his shoulder.

"What? Want to cause trouble in my territory?" A deep and magnetic voice sounded behind the man.

When the man looked back, he was so frightened that his face turned pale and his legs went limp.

"Mr. Xu..."

Xu Yuanmo glanced at the man coldly, then turned to look at Chu Xixi, frowning slightly: "Why are you so drunk?"

Chu Xixi looked up and met Xu Yuanmo's eyes as deep as the sea. Her heart skipped a beat.

"Doctor, how is he?" Qin Shiyu's voice was filled with tears, but Chu Xixi felt like she was acupunctured and couldn't move. The doctor's shaking head was like a sharp needle, suddenly piercing the tight string in her brain. Huo Hangfan was dead? The man who always followed her and called her "Xixi" all the time, was he really dead?

A chill ran up from the soles of her feet to her heart, Chu Xixi's eyes went dark, and her body was about to fall.

"Xixi!" Qin Shiyu quickly supported her and called her name anxiously.

Chu Xixi leaned weakly on Qin Shiyu's shoulder, her mind was blank. She thought of Huo Hangfan's pursuit of her in college, the sweet time they spent together, and his betrayal and hurt again and again recently...

"How could this happen..." Chu Xixi murmured to herself, her voice full of disbelief.

"Don't be too sad. The dead cannot be resurrected..." Qin Shiyu comforted her, but her eyes were also red.

"No, I'm fine." Chu Xixi took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. "I'm just... a little surprised."

Accident? Maybe. Chu Xixi didn't know what she felt at the moment, sad? Relieved? Or... fear?

The news of Huo Hangfan's death was like a bomb that exploded in Chu Xixi's peaceful life. She began to frequently go in and out of the police station, cooperating with the police investigation, and facing the media's pursuit and interception, which made her life a mess.

What made Chu Xixi even more exhausted was that Huo Hangfan's parents believed that Chu Xixi had killed him. They ran to the studio crying and making a fuss, and even hit her.

"You jinx! Our son Hangfan was killed by you! You have to compensate my son!" Mother Huo's sharp voice echoed in Chu Xixi's ears. Her thin body was like a mad dog, tearing Chu Xixi's hair and clothes desperately.

"Auntie, please calm down! The truth of the matter has not been found out yet, you can't slander people like this!" Qin Shiyu tried hard to stop Huo's mother, but was pushed away by her and fell heavily to the ground.
