CEO's Secret Pet: Woman, You Can't Escape Even If You Have Wings
Chapter 242 No Right to Say No
Xiao Di Yu's sharp hawk-like eyes were fixed on Lin Xi. He gritted his teeth and said, "Lin Xi, I tell you, no matter what happens today, you must become my fiancée! You have no choice!" When Lin Xi heard this, she was immediately filled with rage, but she was more helpless. Her beautiful eyes were filled with anger at the moment, but facing the powerful pressure of Xiao Di Yu, she felt as if she was trapped in a cage that she could not escape from, and she was powerless to resist.
Time passed by minute by minute, and under Xiao Diyu's unyielding and tough attitude, this engagement dinner, which was originally as ridiculous as a farce, finally stumbled through all the procedures. Although the whole process was full of reluctance and unexpected twists and turns, when the ceremony finally ended, many guests still came forward as usual to congratulate the couple.
The celebrities who had close business dealings with the Lin and Xiao families were all smiling and saying all kinds of flowery blessings. Someone said flatteringly, "Congratulations to Master Xiao and Miss Lin for getting married and achieving this happy marriage. They are truly a match made in heaven!"
Someone else echoed, "Yes, yes, you two are a perfect match, you will be happy together forever!" Faced with these hypocritical flattery, Xiao Di Yu just nodded slightly and responded with a polite smile. Lin Xi, who was standing aside, had a straight face and no expression, as if everything happening around her had nothing to do with her.
At this moment, the appearance of a figure instantly attracted everyone's attention - it turned out to be Jiang Xiyan, the president of Yuhui Empire.
Following closely behind Jiang Xiyan was a man with an imposing manner and extraordinary temperament. This man was none other than the famous president of the Ye Group, Ye Chen. He was as tall and straight as a pine tree, and his steps were steady and powerful. Every step he took exuded a powerful aura that could not be ignored.
Lin Xi, who was standing not far away, could not look away from Ye Chen the moment her eyes touched him. Her beautiful eyes were like being attracted by a magnet, fixed on Ye Chen, as if all the people and things around her no longer existed.
The guests who were originally gathered around chatting and laughing keenly caught this scene. They all understood what was going on and consciously retreated to the sides, leaving a wide and straight passage for the distinguished guest.
"Master Yu, congratulations on your happy marriage today." Jiang Xiyan walked forward, his tone steady and calm, with a faint smile on his face. He first bowed to Xiao Di Yu to congratulate him, then turned his eyes to the familiar Lin Xi beside him, and said with a little surprise: "Lin Xi, it's really unexpected, it turns out that you are Master Yu's fiancée!"
However, facing Jiang Xiyan's question, Lin Xi seemed to have not heard it, and continued to stare at Ye Chen infatuatedly. Her bright eyes were filled with deep affection for Ye Chen, and this emotion was so strong that it almost overflowed and could not be concealed at all.
Ye Chen naturally also noticed Lin Xi's burning gaze, and his body shook slightly, but after only a moment of loss of composure, he quickly returned to his usual calm self.
Xiao Diyu and Jiang Xiyan have always been the golden partners with the best tacit cooperation and the most successful cooperation in the business field. As soon as the two met, they were as cordial and familiar as old friends who had not seen each other for many years. Without saying a word, they walked to the side and sat side by side, and began to talk in a low voice. I guess they were planning some new grand plan.
Jiang Xiyan walked to Xiao Diyu calmly with a smile on his face. He exuded a confident and elegant temperament and said softly: "Master Yu, today is your big day, congratulations! At the same time, this is also a great opportunity for us to discuss cooperation. The project we worked on before was progressing quite smoothly, which also makes me believe that there will be a lot of cooperation opportunities between us in the future waiting for us to explore."
Hearing this, Xiao Di Yu raised his chin slightly and smiled faintly in response: "Mr. Jiang is absolutely right. The cooperation between us has always been very pleasant, and I certainly hope that this good cooperation situation can continue. I wonder if Mr. Jiang has some new ideas for the next cooperation?"
Jiang Xiyan thought for a moment and then answered, "In my opinion, emerging markets are currently showing a booming trend and have huge potential. So I think we can consider increasing investment in these areas and work together to open up a broader business territory."
Xiao Di Yu nodded and agreed, "Well, Mr. Jiang's proposal is indeed very good. However, if we want to truly implement it, we may need to discuss the details in detail on the specific operational level."
Jiang Xiyan smiled again and said firmly, "That's inevitable. After all, for a major cooperation like this, every link cannot be sloppy. But I have always believed that with the strong strength and extraordinary talents and strategies of both sides, we will eventually be able to successfully explore the most suitable and ideal cooperation plan."
Xiao Di Yu also showed a confident smile, and he waved! Immediately, a waiter came with a tray of red wine. Xiao Di Yu took two glasses of red wine and handed them to Jiang Xiyan. "I also look forward to our cooperation to achieve greater success."
Jiang Xiyan elegantly took the glass of red wine that was as gorgeous as a gem, gently raised the glass, brought it to his lips and took a sip, then showed a satisfied smile and said loudly: "Cooperation is successful!"
Lin Xi's eyes followed Xiao Diyu and Jiang Xiyan, and saw Xiao Diyu intimately pulling Jiang Xiyan to a gorgeously decorated marble table, and then sitting together on the soft sofa next to it. The two of them talked and laughed, as if they had endless topics to talk about, and the atmosphere was harmonious and cheerful.
At this time, Ye Chen walked to Lin Xi with an expressionless face and said in a flat tone: "Lin Xi, congratulations." However, his indifferent expression was in sharp contrast to the words of congratulations he uttered.
Lin Xi was already feeling a little down because of this sudden engagement, and now she felt mixed emotions when she heard Ye Chen's cold blessing. Just a few days ago, Ye Chen had vowed to help her plan to escape from this wedding that was controlled by family interests. But now, everything has changed dramatically, and the plan has finally failed.
Lin Xi stared at Ye Chen's handsome but expressionless face, and said word by word: "Ye Chen, I'm engaged, are you happy?" There was a complex light flashing in her eyes, with anger, disappointment, and a trace of sadness that was difficult to conceal.
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen pursed his thin lips slightly. His voice was as low as the music played by a cello, and he said slowly: "This is your own choice, what can I say?" After that, he turned his head away and no longer looked at Lin Xi.
"My own choice..." Lin Xi murmured to herself, her eyes gradually turning red. She couldn't believe that Ye Chen, who had cared for her so much and vowed to take her out of the sea of suffering, would say such heartless words at this time. Those beautiful memories instantly flooded into her mind, making her heart ache as if it was torn apart.
Ye Chen was silent for a long time, and finally spoke again slowly. This time his tone was a little softer, but still with an unspeakable sense of distance: "Lin Xi, as long as you are happy."
"But I don't like Xiao Di Yu." Lin Xi lowered her eyes slightly, her long eyelashes trembling like butterfly wings, her tone full of helplessness and resistance. The gorgeous white dress she was wearing was like clouds in the sky, soft and elegant, gleaming delicately under the bright lights. The crystal decorations inlaid on the hem were like stars, shining and dazzling, and each one seemed to contain a small dream. However, at this moment, these beautiful decorations could not cover up the pain and struggle in her heart.
"Then why did you get engaged to him?" Ye Chen stared at Lin Xi, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes. He frowned slightly, and his voice unconsciously raised a little, with a little urgency. His eyes quickly swept around the luxurious engagement venue. The huge crystal chandelier hung high on the ceiling, emitting dazzling light, illuminating the entire hall like a dream. The golden decorative lines stretched on the wall, like a mysterious totem in an ancient palace, showing unparalleled dignity and luxury.
"Didn't I tell you a few days ago? It's my dad who chose him, and I don't have the right to say 'no' at all." Lin Xi's eyes gradually dimmed, like the stars that lost their luster in the night sky. Her voice began to tremble, like a candle swaying in the wind, which could go out at any time. "From childhood to adulthood, my life has been arranged by them, and this time is no exception. I don't want to be manipulated like this for the rest of my life and become a victim of family interests, so I desperately fled to M City to find you, hoping that you can help me get out of this predicament..." At the end, she gently tugged at the hem of her dress, as if she wanted to break free from this invisible bondage and regain her freedom.
"I'm sorry," Ye Chen's handsome face was filled with guilt at the moment. He rubbed his hands helplessly, slowly lowered his head, and blamed himself like a child who had made a mistake: "It's my fault that I can't help you. I really want to do something for you, even if it's just a little bit, but I..." As he spoke, his pair of brand new shiny leather shoes moved back and forth on the shiny marble floor, making a slight and crisp sound.
