On the day of breaking off the engagement, I got married to my ex-uncle
Chapter 85 Qingshan Orphanage
Chu Xixi's curiosity was aroused. She pretended to wipe his sweat and took the phone away. She exited the call log, found the name, and called back directly. A few minutes later, under Chu Xixi's close gaze, the woman's face appeared on the small screen again - it was Zhao Xueer, Huo Hangfan's studio assistant.
Zhao Xueer's appearance was not surprising, but the background on the other end of the video made Chu Xixi's eyes freeze instantly. It was a cozy little house, Huo Hangfan's T-shirt was casually hung on the hanger, and a few messy pieces of fabric slipped off the bed, obviously just experienced a fierce argument or... something else.
Before Chu Xixi could ask, Zhao Xueer's eyes were already filled with tears, but she also had a sly smile on her face. "Hangfan, why did you do this to me?" Her voice was tearful, but it also seemed like she was secretly proud.
Chu Xixi's fingers tightly grasped the phone, her nails almost piercing into her palm. She took a deep breath, cut off the call, and silently handed the phone back to Huo Hangfan. A trace of determination flashed across her eyes, and she told herself that no matter what happened between Huo Hangfan and Zhao Xueer, she must know the truth tonight.
She smiled at Huo Hangfan and suggested that they complete the engagement ceremony first, but Huo Hangfan's face had turned very ugly. He seemed to have judged that Chu Xixi already knew everything, or that he himself was in a state of confusion. His hands were shaking, but he took Chu Xixi's arm and tried to maintain his calm appearance.
Chu Xixi's heart was no longer on that gorgeous performance. Her heart was broken in this unexpected farce. She secretly glanced at the T-shirt, and an inexplicable sadness surged in her heart. She didn't know whether this engagement could continue. She only knew that tonight was destined to be the longest night of her life.
She never saw Zhao Xueer again, and in a few days it would be her engagement ceremony with Huo Hangfan. She had a hunch that Zhao Xueer would definitely attend, and then everything would be revealed. She couldn't just let herself be cheated on without knowing why, she had to make things clear in person!
Unexpectedly, Zhao Xueer actually showed up at the ceremony. She was not alone, but with her current sponsor Xu Yuanmo. Strangely, the two did not look like "lovers", but rather like...
Chu Xixi's thoughts were suddenly occupied by the word "cheating". She suddenly understood what Huo Hangfan said on the phone and breathed a sigh of relief. "Hangfan, can I ask you a question?"
Huo Hangfan looked at her lovingly: "Of course, you can ask me anything at any time, Xixi."
"Well, can you tell me what is the relationship between Zhao Xue'er and you? Why do I feel that she knows nothing about her affairs, and I have never known about it all these years?"
The smile on Huo Hangfan's face faded, and after hesitating for a moment, he said in a low voice: "Xixi, I regret it, I really regret it. I hope you can give me a chance, can you leave Xu Yuanmo and come back to me?"
"What?" Chu Xixi thought she was hallucinating, but Huo Hangfan's eyes were filled with deep guilt.
Without waiting for her to speak, Huo Hangfan continued, "I blame myself for being confused. I was really bewildered to contact Zhao Xueer."
"But why, why didn't you tell me?" It all happened so suddenly that she was caught off guard.
"Xixi, I am sincere to you. I was confused before. Without you, my design would be blank. I can't live without your help."
Looking at Huo Hangfan's pleading eyes, Chu Xixi's expression cooled down. She suddenly realized clearly that the man in front of her had been having an affair with Zhao Xueer after dating her. He was a complete scumbag!
Her eyes turned cold, and she pushed Huo Hangfan away resolutely. "Why did you come to provoke me? You scumbag! Don't come to me again, let's break up."
The girl's back was extremely resolute, and Huo Hangfan knew that this time she really would not look back. He knew he was wrong, and began to deal with his relationship with Zhao Xueer, trying to make up for the mistakes he had made before. But the person standing outside the door became more and more impatient, and his temper was violent and fierce.
Chu Xixi walked briskly through the busy city center with her sketch in hand. She had an important meeting today—presenting her design to a new client. She was in such a good mood that she could almost fly in the air, because this time, the inspiration for the design struck her heart and was perfectly formed almost overnight.
"Xixi, where are you going?" Qin Shiyu suddenly appeared from the side, staring at the sketch in his hand with curiosity.
"I'm going to meet a client. I think my design this time has a good chance of being a great success!" Chu Xixi's eyes were shining with confidence, and she looked like a warrior about to land on the battlefield.
"Wait for me, I'll go with you!" There was no hesitation in Qin Shiyu's tone. As Chu Xixi's best friend, she naturally had to give support at the critical moment.
As they were walking, a black luxury car suddenly stopped in front of them. The car door slowly opened, and a handsome man in a suit walked out. It was Xu Yuanmo.
"Mr. Xu? Why are you here?" Chu Xixi looked at him in surprise, feeling a little excited and a little nervous.
"I heard that you had an important meeting today, so I came to see you." Xu Yuanmo said lightly, but his eyes were fixed on Chu Xixi, as if he wanted to read something from her.
When Qin Shiyu saw the situation, he immediately realized that he should disappear at this time, so he found an excuse and left in a hurry.
"Mr. Xu, you really don't have to worry about it. I can handle it myself." Chu Xixi said a little embarrassedly.
"I just came to take a look and to cheer you up." Seeing that Chu Xixi was still hesitating, Xu Yuanmo interrupted her directly, with a firm tone that could not be refused.
Xu Yuanmo's attitude left Chu Xixi no room to refuse. The two of them took a car together and headed to the meeting place.
Outside the car window, the city scenery was receding quickly, but Chu Xixi's mood was complicated. She didn't know where this delicate relationship between her and Xu Yuanmo would go. Xu Yuanmo looked indifferent, but his eyes flashed with concern for Chu Xixi from time to time.
At this moment, Chu Xixi suddenly remembered that she was getting engaged today, and the complex emotions in her heart became even more difficult to calm down. At this moment, Chu Xixi's heart was like a lake surface blown by the breeze, rippling. However, the world outside the window seemed to be incompatible with all this, continuing its hustle and bustle.
The car finally stopped in front of a luxurious building. Chu Xixi took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. Today was either a new starting point for her design career, or...
"We're here, Miss Chu, are you ready?" Xu Yuanmo's voice interrupted her thoughts, and he gave Chu Xixi an encouraging look.
Chu Xixi nodded, got out of the car, and entered another critical moment in her life.
The lights were bright and the seats were full of guests. Chu Xixi walked into the banquet hall lightly, shining with every step, like a fairy under the moon. Her appearance immediately became the focus of the whole audience. The guests admired her beauty and temperament, and the blessings from relatives and friends were heard.
In the melodious music, she and Huo Hangfan stepped onto the stage hand in hand, ready to welcome their happy moment. Huo Hangfan looked particularly handsome today, his smile was full of pride and joy, and his eyes looking at Chu Xixi were full of affection.
He didn't know that under this honor, Chu Xixi already had an ominous premonition in her heart. The happy conversations of her relatives and friends echoed in her ears, but her mind had already flown to the message she had just received.
Although each step was light and graceful, her heart felt like it was being pressed down by a heavy stone, unable to dance lightly. She smiled and listened to the blessings from the audience, but in her heart, she kept asking herself whether all this could really go as she wished.
Huo Hangfan looked at her affectionately and began to tell her their love story, with every word full of tenderness. However, in his casual glance, Chu Xixi caught a glimpse of panic. He seemed to see something that made him uneasy, perhaps someone who shouldn't be there, or perhaps some subtle abnormality.
Instantly, Chu Xixi's heart seemed to be pulled by a thin thread, and her eyes drifted to the audience, searching the crowd for the source of Huo Hangfan's panic. The feeling of uneasiness gradually increased, and she was almost certain that tonight was destined not to be a peaceful celebration.
Just as she was about to make an excuse to leave for a while to find the answer, a figure quietly approached her. She recognized it as her best friend, Qin Shiyu, whom she had always relied on. Qin Shiyu leaned close to her ear and whispered softly but urgently: "Xixi, I have uncovered Huo Hangfan's secret! Everything is completely different from what you thought!"
At this moment, Chu Xixi's world seemed to collapse, and all the beautiful halos were eclipsed at this moment. Qin Shiyu's words were like cold rain, extinguishing all her joy and expectations. There was a voice in her heart telling herself that no matter what, she needed this breath and needed to face this unknown truth.
It was only less than half an hour, but Chu Xixi felt like she had spent a long century. Her heart was struggling between hope and despair. And she made a decision.
She wanted to see it for herself, to see it with her own eyes.
While Huo Hangfan was greeting the guests, she sneaked out of the banquet hall. Chu Xixi was filled with confusion and anxiety, but she refused to let herself collapse. She needed answers and the truth.
She quietly drove to the place Huo Hangfan told her to live. In the quiet night, the sound of her heartbeat was particularly clear. The car lights illuminated the road ahead, and it seemed that she was the only one fighting alone in the darkness. Chu Xixi held the steering wheel tightly. At this time, she had no one to rely on in her world.
When she was close to the target location, her phone suddenly vibrated. It was a text message from an unknown source: "What are you doing here? Chu Xixi, there are some games you can't afford to play."
Chu Xixi's pupils shrank, she knew she was about to step into a place that might change her life. She threw her phone aside, stepped on the accelerator resolutely, and sped towards the house.
It was late at night, and the space was filled with a cold atmosphere. The light from the house was particularly dazzling in the darkness. Breaking through the silence of the night, Chu Xixi heard an ambiguous voice coming from the audio. Her feet felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead as she stepped over the threshold.
Inside the room, Huo Hangfan and Zhao Xueer sat face to face, their bodies closely connected, even caressing each other unconsciously. Chu Xixi felt her soul being pulled out of her body, and everything in her eyes became blurry. She could only feel the clock-like sound in her heart, beating at her last bit of stubbornness again and again.
Let’s end it, Chu Xixi said to herself.
So she turned around and left resolutely, walking out of the house that would make her uneasy for the rest of her life.
Soon, everyone gathered around the couple, celebrating their birthday and engagement. In the middle of the reception, Huo Hangfan excused himself to leave, and Chu Xixi also lied that she was tired and went to the balcony to get some fresh air.
The banquet was unusually quiet at this time. With the help of the balcony light, Chu Xixi took out her cell phone and asked Qin Shiyu to help her find the truth. Qin Shiyu was always very aggressive and pointed out to her: "There is no perfect person in this world, including your perfect fiancé!"
"Are you crazy? Have you forgotten that you are still working? You just said that casually. Do you want to quit your job?" Chu Xixi talked to her while operating the machine.
"There is always an exception, and maybe he is one of them." Qin Shiyu's tone changed and he was not so cynical.
"Don't be like young girls in love." Chu Xixi joked.
Qin Shiyu said "oops" innocently, expressing dissatisfaction that he was being very serious about what he said.
Suddenly, in a corner of the banquet, a familiar figure appeared in Chu Xixi's eyes. It was the young man who was sitting next to the old couple just now. Every time she was next to that man, it seemed that something was missed.
