Chapter 267: The Engagement Was Annulled?

Bai Yuxin was startled and quickly stepped forward to stop him: "Brother, don't hit him!"

Lu Jingxiao couldn't help but retort: ​​"Love-obsessed?"

They've already bullied her, and now they're still defending her?

What the hell is this?

"No..." Bai Yuxin still felt wronged after thinking for a moment, "Chris wanted to break off our engagement, and I... I wouldn't agree..."

Luo Zhiwei didn't understand: "Why?" She looked at Chris: "You and Yuxin were engaged in China, I thought... why did you break off the engagement with Yuxin?"

Chris took the punch but didn't retaliate. Instead, he stood up, his eyes filled with apology and love.

This puzzled Luo Zhiwei. These two clearly loved each other deeply, so why break off their engagement?

Are there any difficulties that we can't face together?

Chris bowed deeply to Lu Jingxiao: "I can only apologize. I am not capable of protecting Yuxin, so I think it is better for us to separate for the time being."

Lu Jingxiao: "What do you mean?"

“I don’t like beating around the bush either. I’m not capable of handling family matters right now, and I can’t give Yuxin the stability she wants, but I won’t give up.”

Chris looked at Bai Yuxin with deep affection, his expression complex: "I love you, so I don't want you to be in a place where you don't feel safe with me. I will not give up, and I will do everything I can to become the sole person in charge of the Chris family."

Then I will come and marry you.

Instead of keeping you by my side now and making you follow me through dangerous situations.

Lu Jingxiao was even more confused. He frowned unhappily: "I already promised to take care of Bai Yuxin so that you wouldn't have any worries. Why do you still want to break off the engagement?"

“My people found out that the family elders have already sent people to arrest Yuxin, so I came here first to resolve my issues with Yuxin.”

“I know you can protect her, but if my information is correct, you are currently struggling to take care of yourself. If you are not careful... Yuxin could be in danger.”

To put it bluntly, the family elders intend to control his life. As long as Bai Yuxin's fiancé is not him, she is safe for the time being.

Lu Jingxiao remained silent; Chris's words made sense.

Bai Yuxin was furious, her eyes swollen from crying: "Chris, what right do you have to break off our engagement? Do you even know..."

"are you serious?"

Bai Yuxin was sobbing uncontrollably.

She was upset, and Chris was even more upset. His girl had never been so wronged before.

He caused all of this.

“Yuxin, you can think of this as a temporary annulment of the engagement. As long as the Chris family is under my control, I will come back and marry you immediately.”

Chris was determined and gave no chance whatsoever. He said in a deep voice, "I will bear the infamy of breaking off the engagement. I will not let you suffer any injustice."

The love in his eyes was intense, as was his reluctance to part.

Are you sure you've thought this through?

"yes."

Lu Jingxiao didn't say anything more. Everyone has their own thoughts, and people should be responsible for the decisions they make.

"Okay, you go and explain to the media, and you'd better give Yuxin's parents a reasonable explanation if you want to... marry her again."

He knew Chris was doing it for Bai Yuxin's own good, and he had no reason to dissuade him.

"good."

Chris nodded and prepared to leave.

Bai Yuxin refused to comply and even threatened, "If you leave today and want to break off our engagement, then we will have no future together!"

"Whether you win over the Chris family or not, I don't want you anymore!"

Bai Yuxin hopes Chris will turn back. She doesn't care about the danger; she's not afraid.

As long as they don't separate, she's willing to fight alongside Chris.

Chris simply said "I'm sorry" to himself.

He then left without looking back.

Yuxin, if it were anything else, I would never let go of your hand. I can't contend with the power of the family elders on my own.

If you follow me, you'll only suffer, and there might even be danger to your life. I can't risk your life.

sorry.

"Chris—"

Only Bai Yuxin's voice echoed throughout the villa. Bai Wenyu heard the noise and prepared to go upstairs, only to encounter Chris coming downstairs.

"Hey, where are you going?"

But... Chris simply nodded slightly and left.

Bai Wenyu didn't have time to pay attention to him and hurriedly went upstairs, where she saw Bai Yuxin who was heartbroken.

She was startled: "What happened? You two were fine when you went upstairs just now!"

She didn't quite understand how the two of them, who were fine just a moment ago, had become like this.

Bai Yuxin cried her heart out, which was heartbreaking to see, especially for Bai Wenyu, who only had one daughter in this generation of the Bai family. As her aunt, she naturally felt sorry for her.

She quickly stepped forward, hugged Bai Yuxin in her arms, and gently coaxed her, "Okay, okay, don't cry. Tell your aunt what happened first."

"Auntie..." Bai Yuxin cried even harder.

**

In the restaurant, after hearing the whole story, Bai Wenyu remained silent for a moment before serving them soup.

The first bowl was given to Luo Zhiwei, the second bowl was placed in front of Bai Yuxin, and that was the end of it.

"Yuxin, have some soup first." Bai Wenyu said earnestly, "How should I put it? From the perspective of us family members, I don't think Chris did anything wrong. On the contrary, we are very grateful to him."

"But from your perspective, you'd naturally be angry too. Two people in love should fight side by side, but... Yuxin, love can overcome all difficulties, that's just a fairy tale, a beautiful fantasy. We all know how complicated the Chris family is. If you want to marry Chris, he'll have to clear all obstacles."

“But… there are no buts.” Bai Wenyu’s attitude was very firm: “You don’t need to go back and ask your parents about this. I’ve made the decision myself.”

"Yuxin, you need to be good to him so he has no worries. If he truly loves you, he will marry you immediately. If he doesn't love you, you can also leave him in time... Do you understand?"

"Auntie, what should I do?"

Bai Yuxin looked at Lu Jingxiao pleadingly, hoping her cousin could save her.

"elder brother...."

Lu Jingxiao: "..."

I don't want to hear it.

Big head.

Bai Wenyu put two more pieces of beef brisket into Bai Yuxin's bowl: "You eat first, let your cousin handle this matter."

Lu Jingxiao: "???"

I didn't agree.

Chris has nothing to do with them anymore, so why should he bother with other people's problems?

Luo Zhiwei nodded in agreement: "Yes, let your cousin handle it for you. Tell your cousin what you want to do."

Bai Yuxin's eyes were filled with gratitude, but she wasn't blinded by Chris; however, she only had a sliver of rationality left.

"I... didn't Chris say that you're in trouble too, cousin? Can you help me out?"

Lu Jingxiao said calmly, "No."

Bai Yuxin almost burst into tears: "Cousin..."

"Alright, shut up. He's just a man, is it really that big of a deal?"

Bai Yuxin retorted defiantly, hands on her hips, scoffing, "You have the nerve to talk back to me? When you and your sister-in-law broke up, who was the one living a life of debauchery, crying all the time, and..."

Lu Jingxiao, instantly embarrassed, threatened, "Bai Yuxin, if you say another word, I promise I won't care about anything."

belch--

I held it in.

Bai Yuxin looked at Lu Jingxiao with teary eyes.

Lu Jingxiao: "..."

"Just wait, he'll be fine for now. Once Weiwei's crisis is over, I'll personally go to the US. Is that alright?"

Bai Yuxin's eyes lit up: "Really?"

"Fake."

She knew Lu Jingxiao was being sarcastic, and she laughed heartily: "Little sister-in-law, what trouble are you in? Maybe I can help?"
