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

Chu Xixi was stunned

"What did you say?!" Chu Xixi stood up suddenly, the shock in her eyes almost overflowing, "This is impossible! Hangfan... he clearly..."

She stopped talking abruptly, and her mind flashed back to Huo Hangfan's various behaviors over the years. He always avoided talking about his past, and whenever Chu Xixi asked him about it, he always looked gloomy and said in a sad tone that he had no parents and grew up in an orphanage.

Chu Xixi always thought that he felt inferior because of his unfortunate childhood experience, so she was particularly sympathetic to him and took care of his feelings everywhere. But now, Song Yian told her that all this was a lie!

"Xixi, don't get excited. Just listen to what I have to say first." Song Yian put down his wine glass, walked to Chu Xixi, patted her shoulder, trying to calm her down.

"What else is there to say?!" Chu Xixi waved his hand away, her eyes reddened, "Why did he lie to me? What does he think of me?!"

"Of course he has a purpose for approaching you." Xu Yuanmo, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up, his tone icy cold, as if squeezed out from between his teeth, "Do you really think that with his little kung fu, he can thrive in this circle?"

Chu Xixi was stunned. She then remembered that when the studio was first established, it encountered difficulties everywhere. It was Huo Hangfan who used his connections to help the studio get the first big order, which opened up the situation.

After that, the studio received more and more orders and became more and more famous, and all of this seemed to be related to Huo Hangfan.

"You mean... he has been using me?" Chu Xixi's voice trembled, like a wounded little animal, making people want to hug her in their arms.

"It's not like he seems to be using you all the time!" Xu Yuanmo stood up suddenly, walked in front of Chu Xixi, looked down at her, and a trace of heartache flashed in his deep eyes, "Do you think he completed those design plans with his own ability?"

Chu Xixi's heart sank suddenly. She remembered that every time after she finished a design draft, Huo Hangfan was always the first to offer to help her make revisions, and she always told him her ideas without reservation and even gave him the authority to revise the draft.

Could it be that... he had already tampered with those design drafts?

"What does he think you are? A cash cow? Or a stepping stone?" Xu Yuanmo's tone was full of sarcasm and anger. "Chu Xixi, can you wake up a little? Haven't you been deceived by him enough?!"

Chu Xixi's body swayed, her vision went dark, and she almost fainted. Fortunately, Song Yian was quick to catch her.

"Xixi, don't listen to his nonsense!" Song Yian glared at Xu Yuanmo, "He just can't stand you and Hangfan getting along so he deliberately tries to sow discord between you!"

"You know whether I am talking nonsense or not!" Xu Yuanmo glanced at him coldly, then turned to look at Chu Xixi, and his tone softened a little, "Xixi, I don't want to see you being deceived by him again, do you understand?"

Chu Xixi raised her head and looked at him blankly, her mind in a mess. She didn't know who to trust, nor did she know what to do.

"Xixi, believe me, Hangfan is not that kind of person..." Song Yian wanted to say something else, but was frightened by Xu Yuanmo's sharp eyes and shut his mouth.

"That's enough." Xu Yuanmo said coldly, "I don't want to hear anything about that person anymore."

As he spoke, he pulled Chu Xixi behind him and asserted his sovereignty.

"Chu Xixi, listen to me carefully," Xu Yuanmo looked down at her, his tone domineering yet gentle, "From today on, you are mine. I will protect you and will not let anyone hurt you again."

Chu Xixi raised her head and met his deep eyes, her heart beating uncontrollably. His eyes were so firm, as if they carried a magical power that she could not resist.

"You...what did you say?" Chu Xixi's voice was as thin as a mosquito, and a suspicious blush appeared on her cheeks.

"I said, you are mine." Xu Yuanmo repeated, with a wicked smile on his face, "You, can't escape."

As he spoke, he lowered his head and kissed her lips...

Chu Xixi was stunned. She felt as if someone had grabbed her throat and she couldn't breathe. Song Yian's words echoed in her ears, and every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting her heart hard.

Huo Hangfan...isn’t he an orphan?

How can it be?

He clearly said that he grew up in an orphanage, without a father or a mother, and was helpless. He also said that the director's mother treated him very well and took care of him like her own son.

Over the years, Chu Xixi believed in Huo Hangfan's experience and was full of sympathy and pity for him. She gave him the best resources of the studio, and even broke up with Cheng Yaoyao to get more opportunities for him.

But now, Song Yian told her that all this was fake?

"You...what evidence do you have?" Chu Xixi's voice was trembling, as if she would collapse at any time.

Song Yian didn't say anything, but took out a photo from his pocket and handed it to Chu Xixi.

In the photo, a young woman is holding a baby with a happy smile on her face. The woman has delicate features and an elegant temperament, and it is obvious that she is not a child from an ordinary family. The baby is white and chubby, with a pair of big black eyes looking at the world curiously.

Chu Xixi's heart skipped a beat. She had a hunch that the woman and baby in the photo must have some connection with Huo Hangfan.

"Who is this woman?" Chu Xixi asked. Her voice was very soft, as if she was afraid of disturbing something.

"Her name is Lin Wan, and she is Huo Hangfan's biological mother." Song Yian's voice was low and heavy, "And this baby is Huo Hangfan."

"What?!" Chu Xixi exclaimed, and the photo slipped from her hands and fell to the ground.

"Impossible... This is impossible..." Chu Xixi murmured to herself, she couldn't accept this fact.

"I know it's hard for you to accept, but..." Song Yian wanted to say something but was interrupted by Xu Yuanmo.

"That's enough." Xu Yuanmo glanced at Song Yian coldly, then walked to Chu Xixi, picked up the photo on the ground, and handed it to her, "Look for yourself."

Chu Xixi took the photo and looked at it carefully. The woman in the photo was very beautiful, and she could vaguely see some of Huo Hangfan's shadow between her eyebrows and eyes. And the baby... Chu Xixi's heart suddenly shrank, and she finally understood why she felt that this baby was so familiar.

Because this baby looks exactly like Huo Hangfan’s childhood photo!

The scene of her first meeting with Huo Hangfan suddenly emerged in Chu Xixi's mind.

It was a sunny afternoon. Chu Xixi was sitting alone on the school playground, looking at the teenagers sweating on the basketball court in the distance, her heart full of envy and yearning.

"Hey, can I sit here?"

A clear voice interrupted Chu Xixi's thoughts. She looked up and saw a sunny and handsome boy standing in front of her.

The boy was wearing a clean white shirt, his black hair sparkled in the sun, and his clear eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.

Chu Xixi's heart began beating violently uncontrollably.

"But...okay." Chu Xixi's voice was very low, and her cheeks flushed slightly.

The boy sat down next to her and introduced himself: "My name is Huo Hangfan, I just transferred here this year, what about you?"

"My name is Chu Xixi."

"Chu Xixi..." Huo Hangfan repeated her name, with a beautiful arc on the corner of his mouth, "Your name is really nice."

Chu Xixi's face turned even redder. She lowered her head, not daring to look into Huo Hangfan's eyes.

"Why are you sitting here alone?" Huo Hangfan asked.

"I..." Chu Xixi bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and decided to tell him the truth, "I don't have a father or a mother. I grew up in an orphanage."

"I'm sorry, I didn't know..." Huo Hangfan's tone was full of apology, "I didn't mean to bring up your sad story."

"It's okay." Chu Xixi shook her head, "I'm used to it."

"You..." Huo Hangfan wanted to say something but was interrupted by a burst of noisy sound.

"Hangfan, why are you here? Come here, let's play basketball together!"

Several boys walked towards them, and one of the tall boys waved to Huo Hangfan.

"I...my friend called me, I'll go over first and we'll talk later." Huo Hangfan stood up and said to Chu Xixi.

"Okay." Chu Xixi nodded.

Huo Hangfan turned and left, walking away with his friends.

Chu Xixi looked at his back, feeling a sense of inexplicable loss in her heart.

From then on, Huo Hangfan often came to chat with Chu Xixi. They studied together, ate together, went shopping together, and became good friends who could talk about anything.

Chu Xixi gradually fell in love with this sunny and cheerful boy. She felt that Huo Hangfan was a ray of sunshine in her life, illuminating her originally gloomy world.

But now, this ray of sunlight has turned into a dazzling sword, piercing her heart fiercely.

"Why...why did you lie to me?" Chu Xixi's voice was filled with sadness and anger.

The woman in the photo is clearly...

Chu Xixi opened her eyes wide in shock. Song Yian's words rang in her ears like a bolt from the blue. Huo Hangfan, the man who came like an angel when she was most helpless, the man who kept saying that he was an orphan and shared the same suffering as her, had actually been deceiving her all along?
