On the day of breaking off the engagement, I got married to my ex-uncle
Chapter 72 Intimate Whisper
Chu Xixi stood at the door of the busy Civil Affairs Bureau, her heart beating as fast as a drum, holding the wedding ring that symbolized love tightly in both hands. The sun was scorching, but her heart was as cold as an ice cellar. Just as she was about to enter the Civil Affairs Bureau, her phone suddenly vibrated, and a message exploded in her world.
"Xixi, Huo Hangfan cheated! We have evidence!" Qin Shiyu's voice came from the other end of the phone, anxious and excited.
Chu Xixi's heart was shocked, and she clicked the video link with trembling hands. In the video, Huo Hangfan and Zhao Xueer were clearly close. They were whispering intimately in a corner of a high-end restaurant, and even feeding each other food from time to time. This scene was like a heavy hammer hitting Chu Xixi's chest, and she felt that her breathing was frozen in an instant.
After taking a deep breath, she looked up, a resolute light flashing in her eyes. Coincidentally, a black car slowly stopped in front of her, the window rolled down, and a familiar yet unfamiliar face came into view - Xu Yuanmo.
"Xixi, get in the car." Xu Yuanmo's voice was low and magnetic, and a hint of imperceptible concern flashed in his eyes.
Chu Xixi hesitated for a moment, but then realized that she needed a place to calm down. She bit her lip, opened the door and got in. The atmosphere in the car was quiet and comfortable. Xu Yuanmo did not drive immediately, but waited quietly for her to speak.
"Mo, I...I can't get married." Her voice was weak, but with a firmness that lingered after fragility.
Xu Yuanmo nodded slightly, as if he had expected this. He said calmly, "I know." There was no surprise in his voice, only calmness.
Chu Xixi looked at him in surprise, with mixed emotions in her heart. Xu Yuanmo started the car and said casually, "If you want, we can go and register for marriage today."
This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, and Chu Xixi was completely stunned. The scenery outside the car quickly receded, and her world seemed to stop spinning at this moment.
In particular, during a party, she learned that the first place in the competition not only received a prize, but also had the potential to become the chief designer of a large-scale cooperative project. At that time, it was like a huge rock hitting her heart, which had been flowing steadily, stirring up countless ripples and waves. So she borrowed a large sum of money, calling it an investment in the studio. Unexpectedly, she was deceived and returned to the pre-liberation era overnight.
Later, Huo Hangfan found her at a charity donation event. Naturally, he began his enthusiastic show of flattery, but she mistakenly thought that he was admitted. After all, in her eyes, the school girl and the tall, rich and handsome man can be said to be a perfect match. One day, everyone has ulterior motives. When he was in college, he was asked by countless people to introduce him to them. Huo had long been floating, and even if he and his 986 were separated one day, he would stick to it. But she almost wore out her lips to him, and in the end he even smashed the sponsor of the charity, considering Pu Xin's indirect consent. Perform the wedding the next day. He was overjoyed, and she was exhausted, but she had to sympathize with the power of love. If a person can do something by any means, it can be seen how deep true love is. She really saw the people who took shortcuts to the heart of comparison. The two seemed to have taken advantage of Chu Xixi, and it was almost pie in the sky to get her. But to another extent, aren't people who eat soft rice all taking advantage in this way?
Like a little wife, she watched the man who had spent so much effort to even glance at her for the first time pretending to be aloof here, and she wanted to take off his mask with her own hands to see what kind of Chu Xixi he was. Pretending that I don't remember anything, one-sided thinking is not called eating free rice? Who would have thought that the aloof and overbearing CEO Xu Yuanmo was actually a "big enemy" with relish? She also had to admit that perhaps from the beginning, she had not completely let go of Huo Hangfan. Sometimes, feelings are like a game that no one is willing to give up. The other party didn't even give up participating in Chu Xixi, so why should she care about winning or losing or gains and losses?
Several black cars were parked neatly in the shade of the office building. Even in the bright sunlight, these luxury cars still looked so low-key and silent. The person who got out of the car was a young man in his twenties. Her appearance was very similar to Xu Yuanmo. But the difference was that he didn't have the so-called celebrity posture, and always had a pleasant smile. It was easy to get close to people. He walked straight into the building. Chu Xixi walked into the elevator neatly dressed, not realizing what was about to happen.
"You've come just in time. We have reason to suspect that you threatened her to change her relationship and supplement her credit record. You are suspected of illegally obtaining personal information. Take her away now." The policeman pushed the person next to Chu Xixi. The man swept her over with a scrutinizing look and whispered, "I'm not here to make trouble. I'm Xixi's guardian. You should be polite! Don't touch her!" He looked around like a tiger, looking at everything around him. But more importantly, this person was wearing her skin. She began to feel like a spring stuffed into a can. It was beyond her ability to bear. "I'm not here to fight!" She heard herself shouting, and she struggled to be pressed on the desk. When she raised her eyes from the notice, she finally saw the person who raised his hand to speak: "Where do you say I got the money to buy this house?" Well, the person who raised his hand was Huo Hangsha, her ex-fiance, who messed up everything when they were still husband and wife. She still clearly remembered that he slept naked on another woman. Because hatred has no weight. Hate with gnashing teeth, maybe it's still not good enough. She was amused. Why was he so sure? She looked at the familiar face in front of her out of the corner of her eye. It was a face that cared about her very much. Every line was calculated, and every pore exuded elegance. She didn't know what was wrong with her, but her face turned pale and weak when she laughed. "Have you forgotten the client who can't be moved?... Your brain is really funny..." She finished laughing and looked quietly at the document in front of her.
Chu Xixi stood at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau, tightly holding the wedding ring that symbolized love, but at this moment, it was like a heavy stone, pressing her so hard that she couldn't breathe. It started to rain at an inopportune time, and the raindrops fell on the ground, stirring up small splashes of water, just like her shattered mood at the moment.
The man in front of her, Huo Hangfan, a man who once made her heart beat fast and she was ready to spend her life with him, now made her feel strange and painful. There was not a trace of guilt in his expression, only embarrassment and impatience.
"Xixi, what are you doing? Don't let people laugh at you in public!" He tried to grab her hand, with a hint of anxiety in his voice.
Chu Xixi shook his hand away violently. The rain mixed with tears blurred her vision. "What a joke? Do you think I still care about this now?"
Huo Hangfan was silent. He knew he had done too many wrong things and that they were irreparable.
At this time, a man in a dark suit quietly appeared behind Chu Xixi, took out a large dark blue umbrella, and shielded her from the rain. The man was tall and handsome, with an indifferent look in his eyes, but at this time he looked at Huo Hangfan with ill intentions.
"Who is this?" Huo Hangfan looked warily at the man who suddenly appeared.
The man ignored him and said calmly, "I am Xu Yuanmo."
Chu Xixi turned her head and looked at the president of CR Group, who she had only seen on the news before but was well-known. She couldn't understand why such a high-ranking person would be here and hold an umbrella for her.
"You..." Before Chu Xixi could finish her words, Xu Yuanmo spoke first.
"If you are willing, this umbrella is yours from now on." Xu Yuanmo's eyes were extremely firm when he said this.
Chu Xixi stood there in a daze, not knowing what was going on. She was supposed to be the bride today, but now, she didn't even know where to go next.
Xu Yuanmo smiled gently, took out a small box from his suit pocket and handed it to her. "Perhaps, you need a new beginning."
Chu Xixi took the box and opened it. Inside was an exquisite ring that shone brightly. She looked up at Xu Yuanmo, with a hint of trance in her surprise.
Xu Yuanmo gently held her hand and put the ring on her ring finger. "Let's get married quickly, Xixi."
At this moment, the crowd of onlookers gradually increased, and Huo Hangfan's face became extremely ugly. Although Chu Xixi's heart was full of complicated feelings, under Xu Yuanmo's gaze, she inexplicably felt that this time, she might really be able to move towards a different future.
However, Xu Yuanmo's proposal was too sudden, and before Chu Xixi could answer, an unexpected voice broke the scene.
She wiped her face and walked out of the office quickly. The conversation just now dragged her into her memories and her emotions almost got out of control.
To be honest, she is quite panicked now.
The main reason was that the old dean's condition today was really abnormal, revealing something strange. And the South China Sea she mentioned, she had always wanted to repay the old lady and follow the direction she pointed out to find her relatives.
"Time flies. The dean has been gone for twelve years."
She had almost forgotten the pain of the past, but at this moment she felt the sharp pain particularly deeply.
Under the heavy hammer, there must be a fierce beast. Can she defeat it?
She had given herself the courage. Even though her body was full of thorns, she had to walk on the road covered with thorns and stones.
Suddenly, hurried footsteps sounded behind her, and she was quickly pulled into an embrace.
The familiar minty scent filled her nostrils, and she suddenly felt so useless and became vulnerable in an instant.
Xu Yuanmo looked down at her, his face full of worry.
She broke free in a flash, pouting in dissatisfaction: "Tsk, dirty hands."
"?"
He looked aggrieved: "My newly-wed wife, have you ever seen a national treasure kept in a pigpen?"
"Fuck you, smooth talker."
She felt his hot breath approaching her face. Her heartbeat quickened, and she couldn't help but turn her head away just before the kiss.
He wasn't angry either, he just rubbed her fingertips unconsciously: "Now is not the time."
She sighed, opened the brocade box, and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
In silence, he glanced at her doubtfully, seemed to regret it, and repeated it again.
"No, I'm just curious. ...Who is it for?"
She lowered her head, not wanting him to see her expression.
…………
"The last one must be Chu Xixi. She's such a wimp!"
"The other project is so strong, but she actually got the votes!"
"Humph, everyone knows that traffic is king nowadays, and any project must have limits. The better you describe it, the less popular it will be."
"She is simply not qualified to continue."
As soon as the result came out, there were complaints. Among the crowd, Xu Yuanmo was even more indifferent. After a while, he saw the wound on Chu Xixi's face that split open the smile. He subconsciously chopped his foot, but soon returned to normal.
That night, Gu Jinyan seemed to be just joking. She ignored the invitation to dinner. Xuanyuan Ting even wanted to pick her up that night, but she turned off her phone. In fact, she couldn't accept the kind of communication between people and objects, just a touch through a layer of clothing, gently hitting that excuse.
People only believe what they believe until now. 'Chu Xixi was forced to leave. A heartfelt exchange is no less than the nectar from heaven, but in addition to being pleasing to the eye, you have to endure unspeakable harm! Laughter rang out, and the echo of thoughts swayed darkly in her heart. She knew that after catering to most people, even if the mission was accomplished, he could brazenly say that the project was basically completed. Even if there were only a few people who felt aggrieved, as the outlet of that discordant voice, he would be under great pressure. Chu Xixi couldn't help but accept this reality and accepted the result of being eliminated. She took a few steps and looked back at Xu Yuanmo, who was smiling on the stage, and the crowd applauding for him. Oh, there are really a lot of strange creatures in this world, so strange! She laughed suddenly, as if she had been waiting for this silent end.
The sunlight penetrated the gaps between the willow trees at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau, and fell on Chu Xixi's face in a mottled manner. The wedding ring on her hand was cold and heavy, just like her mood at the moment. The agreed time had passed, but Huo Hangfan still did not show up.
On the crooked chairs nearby, couples were laughing and talking in groups, some of them casting curious glances at her from time to time. She closed her eyes, as if all the strength in her body had been exhausted by this dramatic wait, and her legs felt empty, as if they would collapse at any moment.
At this moment, Huo Hangfan hugged Zhao Xueer, the woman who had always been hostile to Chu Xixi, and walked out of the hotel door.
"Xixi, eat some candy. Don't just stand there. There is always a solution." Qin Shiyu patted the back of her hand and stuffed a candy into her stiff hand. However, Chu Xixi's hands and feet were so stiff that she couldn't even open the candy wrapper.
At this moment, there was a sound of strong footsteps coming from behind. Chu Xixi turned her head weakly, but saw a tall figure approaching, it was Xu Yuanmo.
His steps were orderly and his eyes always seemed to be able to look directly into the depths of a person's soul, but today, his sight was only fixed on Chu Xixi.
"I've finally waited for you. Can I enter your world?" Xu Yuanmo walked closer step by step, his voice low and magnetic.
Chu Xixi was stunned. This situation and this person seemed to be incompatible with the scene of breaking off the engagement that she had imagined. While she was thinking about Huo Hangfan and Zhao Xueer, Xu Yuanmo occupied all her attention with his sincerity.
"You..." She was tongue-tied, not knowing what to say.
The candy that was stuffed in her hand finally fell between her fingertips, just like her waiting at this moment finally had a subversive answer. Xu Yuanmo stretched out his hand and caught the candy for her.
Chu Xixi had never thought that her life would be intertwined with a man who was good at love affairs and used to calculate and profit. But now, she thought, maybe, how about making a big news and getting married with Xu Yuanmo?
"Let's get married." Xu Yuanmo's sudden words sounded like an order and a promise, direct and overbearing.
When the sun slightly retreated behind the clouds, Chu Xixi's face was reflected in a gentle golden color. She looked up, looked into Xu Yuanmo's deep eyes, and uttered those words that sounded like she was talking to herself -
"Okay, let's get married!"
