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

Song Yian rolled his eyes high.

"Goal? You're so bold to say that, Huo Hangfan. Do you think you've defeated any of us?"

Chu Xixi turned her eyes to observe Xu Yuanmo's expression, but there was no expression on Xu Yuanmo's silent face.

"Perhaps for some people, failure is a lesson, but for us, it is a memory on the road to growth. I'm afraid you can't learn from it."

Xu Yuanmo gently interrupted him, and his cold tone suddenly turned into a judgment, "Do you still remember that she is your lover? Do you remember what you promised?"

Huo Hangfan's expression became more and more ugly, and suddenly there was a flash of lightning in his eyes. His squeeze was like a sharp knife piercing into Xu Yuanmo's heart.

"Then what are you to take her away from me? You say you love her, but how can you prove it? You think you are keeping your place, but when has she ever belonged to you? She is obviously mine."

"You are just an outsider beside me, and I am her lover!"

"Lover?" Qin Shiyu's veins popped up and tears rolled down his cheeks, ready to burst into tears at any time.

"The role-playing of the lover is quite realistic, but it's a pity that it can only be a role-play!"

“That’s enough!”

Chu Xixi raised her eyes from the document, cold and sharp, her heart boiling with anger like a volcano, "This is an elaborately planned game, who is behind all this?"

Xu Yuanmo stood beside her, his eyes deep, giving her the strongest support. "Don't be afraid, no matter who they are, we will expose their true colors together."

Song Yian leaned lazily on the sofa, his body tilted, and his teasing voice cut into the tense air: "You are trying to trip up our Xixi with your little tricks, but you don't even need to take a piss to see your own weight."

"Don't let your dirty thoughts blind your eyes!" Chu Xixi's tone contained a hint of disdain, while she did not forget to show her pride in not admitting defeat.

Huo Hangfan's face was a little ugly. He knew that his plot had failed temporarily, but when he saw the three people opposite him, his anger was about to explode. "Hmph, don't think you can get away with it. The game has just begun."

Chu Xixi raised an eyebrow and responded in a weird tone: "What? Are you anxious to lose more thoroughly?"

The tense duel with the smell of gunpowder came to an abrupt end. Xu Yuanmo took a step forward, and his deep and powerful voice made the air around him freeze. "Let's go, Shi Yu. Let's go meet the organizer of this competition and ask them how they determined that my Xixi would do such a low-level act as plagiarism."

Qin Shiyu followed closely behind Chu Xixi, her eyes firm and provocative: "If there is any problem, it should be solved face to face."

It was a long rainy night. The shadows of several people were stretched out hazy and long under the street lights. The road ahead was confusing, but their steps were unusually firm.

They walked into the rain at night together, and at this moment, a hazy figure stood quietly on the street corner under the dim light. Only he knew what would happen next...

A few days later, Chu Xixi stood in front of the mirror at Song Yian's company headquarters. The mirror was so clean that it could almost reflect her heart.

Her fingers trembled lightly as she touched her neck. At an angle that no one could see, the pendant of the necklace hung below her collarbone, gently touching her heart.

"Don't be afraid, we will always be with you." Xu Yuanmo stood shoulder to shoulder with her and whispered to comfort her.

Chu Xixi turned around, met his worried eyes, and smiled. "I won't."

Qin Shiyu stood by her side, holding her hand. "Xixi, I've always thought you were frank and direct. Now is not the time to hide anything. If you can't express yourself, you're not yourself."

Chu Xixi pursed her lips, knowing that the secret she had hidden for so long would eventually be revealed in this long-planned game. This was not just a coincidence, but destiny.

In the afternoon, the spring breeze and the sun are shining brightly.

The lights in the conference room shone brightly. After a moment, the door slowly opened and expectant eyes turned to the door.

Chu Xixi walked in accompanied by Song Yian and Xu Yuanmo. The strange man at the end of the conference room instantly fixed his eyes on her, and trembled slightly like a prey that was about to encounter a fatal weakness.

After a moment, what identified him as his 'prey' was a slight pain in his back - a flying needle in his neck. His eyes went dark and he completely lost consciousness.

The door is closed.

"Everyone is here." Song Yian was the first to break the silence, looking across the crowd at the man, "Then, we can start the real meeting ceremony next."

As soon as the words fell, the expectant silence was torn apart, and a shining light shone through the projection, revealing countless fragments of Chu Xixi's memories on the white wall.

The warm light told her about her heavy past and precious truth, and at this moment, she seemed to have found her long-lasting self in the aura of love and being loved.

Li Mingyun's figure kept rising and falling not far away, even though he was around to adjust the atmosphere again and again, trying to help dispel the dark cloud that suddenly shrouded Chu Xixi's heart.

But her heart could no longer be at peace.

Xu Yuanmo turned his face sideways towards her, his eyebrows and eyes were as deep as the abyss, his unpredictable thoughts and emotions were intertwined into a secret web, and she felt that she was firmly wrapped in it and could not be at peace.

"Although I don't know the man's identity, he will never hurt you." Li Mingyun guessed, but his voice seemed to be falling from the sky and seemed erratic.

This hazy conspiracy gripped her heart tightly. For a moment, she seemed to be suddenly placed in a boundless fog, and those painful memories came back to her mind like needles.

At the age of 19, she had just graduated from high school and was eager to realize her dream. The field of speechlessness aroused her curiosity and yearning for military life, so she decided to join the army.

She made preparations without telling anyone, and in the face of everyone's ignorance and confusion, she stubbornly used her actions to show that her decision was by no means a hasty one.

But at the critical moment, the man grabbed her clothes from behind, and the pain and embarrassment of falling made her pale.

Being pointed at by her relatives and friends, and subjected to interrogations and suspicious looks, she tightly grasped her skirt, trying to suppress the shame and despair in her heart.

"Ask your father if he agrees." The man who was looking down at her with cold eyes was the one she loved deeply.

She set out again without any hesitation, determined to go to where he was and show him with her strength that she would never give up.

That man's frame-up put her in an unjust position, and her explanations and pleas only seemed like obscure and affectionate jokes.

Like a zombie, she walked on in vain and sorrow, but it seemed as if a line was breaking through the long night, trying to get rid of the shadow that bound her, but in the end, she was powerless to turn the tide.

On the rainy night streets, car lights streaked across the streets, reflecting the complex emotions on people's faces. Chu Xixi followed Xu Yuanmo closely, with fast and resolute steps, like an unstoppable arrow in the darkness, aiming directly at the target.

"This kind of weather and this kind of time are really suitable for solving some...unfinished problems." Xu Yuanmo's voice was low and firm, like the most solid rock in the dark night.

Chu Xixi clenched her fists gently, her eyes were firm and resolute, a kind of strength that was forged after countless hardships. She knew that this duel might be related to the future of her career, and every step could not be lost.

They walked through the bustling crowd and entered a seemingly ordinary cafe. The atmosphere inside was in sharp contrast to the rainy night outside, warm and comfortable. But for Chu Xixi and Xu Yuanmo, this is their battlefield of justice.

In the corner, a figure sat quietly. She was one of the organizers of this design competition. Various documents and notebooks were scattered on the table in front of her. She looked up and saw Chu Xixi and Xu Yuanmo coming. The expression on her face seemed to undergo a complex change in an instant.

"Ms. Chu, I didn't expect you to find me at this time." The woman's voice was calm and powerful, but there was an imperceptible worry hidden in her eyes.

Chu Xixi didn't sit down. She got straight to the point: "Let's get down to business. Regarding the plagiarism accusation in the competition, I want to know what evidence you based your decision on."

The woman hesitated for a moment, then slowly took out a document. "This is an anonymous report we received, which describes in detail the similarities between your design and an undisclosed product on the market. We have to investigate. This is the rule."

Xu Yuanmo frowned. He stood beside Chu Xixi. His calm and supportive attitude silently told her that no matter what the outcome, he would stand by her side.

"Rules?" Chu Xixi sneered, opened her folder, and took out a pile of information. "Since we are talking about rules, please take a look at these materials. This is my record of the entire process from the initial sketch to the final design, with a timestamp for each step. I want to know, do you have such a detailed process display for the anonymous reports you received?"

The other party took the document and frowned. The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the background music in the cafe seemed to become a little lower.

"I need time to verify this information." The woman finally spoke, her voice trembling.

Chu Xixi and Xu Yuanmo looked at each other, and a hint of coldness flashed in their eyes. They knew that this battle was only a temporary escape, and the real storm might be approaching quietly.

As night fell, raindrops hit the glass windows, making a crackling sound, like the knocks of fate. Inside the cafe, the lights were warm and deep, reflecting the repeated negotiations. Time passed by, and the hot steam of coffee filled the air, but it did not ease the increasingly tense atmosphere.

Finally, the woman closed Chu Xixi's information and said seriously, "I will check this information again. If necessary, we will arrange a face-to-face clarification."

Xu Yuanmo looked directly at the other party and said firmly, "We need a clear timetable. This incident involves Chu Xixi's professional reputation and cannot be delayed for too long."

The woman nodded, wrote down a note carefully, and exchanged contact information. Finally, while promising to do her best, she also reminded them: "The design world has always been a huge chessboard. Every step must be taken with great caution."

They finally walked out of the cafe, the rain was still falling. Chu Xixi's heart was full of unknowns, she felt like she had gone through a foggy investigation, she was tired and entangled.

"Brother Mo, do you think this matter...will be solved?" Chu Xixi stood in the rain, the raindrops gently falling on her black hair, her voice trembling slightly.

Xu Yuanmo looked at her steadily, his eyes in the night seemed to be able to see through her inner fragility. He smiled gently: "Yes, Xixi. We must believe in justice and truth."

His encouragement was like a ray of light that dispelled the haze in her heart. Even if the whole world said "no" to her, this person would always stand behind her and give her the strength to move forward.

They walked side by side in the rain, without an umbrella, but they didn't feel cold, because Chu Xixi knew that they had each other's strongest support.

The rain was falling and the night was still dark, but a glimmer of hope ignited in Chu Xixi's heart. She believed that no matter how dark the night was, there would always be a bright dawn. All she needed to do now was to persevere.

"I understand. We will definitely find out the truth of this matter and give you a fair explanation." The woman in front of him seemed to be finally moved by Chu Xixi's calmness and persistence, and there was some obvious hesitation in her tone.

The light of the rainy night shone through the window of the cafe. People gathered outside the venue one after another, and they all seemed to be busy with this matter. Chu Xixi knew that now was not the time to stop, and every failure could be a new beginning.
