To escape being sold for betrothal gifts, Song Mai chooses to have a flash marriage with a stranger, Chu Xing, on the same day. After getting their marriage certificate, she still doesn't know ...
Liu Jiaer's expression looked extremely unnatural.
Just five minutes ago, Yu Chensheng sent me a hotel address.
For some reason, Yu Chensheng never allowed himself to go to his house.
Every time they met at the hotel, Liu Jiaer would be extra careful, worried that someone was following her.
But the thought of her engagement ceremony with Chu Yunxing tomorrow made her unwilling to pay attention.
Looking at Chu Yunxing's unruly behavior, she was very worried.
Despite much persuasion, Chu Yunxing eventually left the office.
The messages on her phone kept urging her, so Liu Jia'er had no choice but to bite the bullet and refuse Chu Yunxing's offer of a ride.
"No need, I have other plans later. Get some rest tonight, tomorrow is an important day." Liu Jia'er thoughtfully helped him tie his tie and turned to leave.
Chu Yun drove the car to a corner, watched her get into a taxi, and then irritably untied his tie and threw it into the trash can next to him.
Assistant Lu called to report: "Master Yun, we've already arranged for people at the hotel."
"Don't alert them, just take the photos and leave."
The thought of giving Liu Jia'er a surprise tomorrow made a chill creep onto his lips.
He was rarely treated like a fool, but Liu Jia'er had given him such a great gift, so he naturally had to repay her properly.
He had hoped to get everything sorted out before the engagement, but Yu Chensheng was so cunning that he gave him no chance at all.
Fortunately, this period made him lower his guard, and he gradually revealed his true colors.
After obtaining all the information about Yu Chensheng, Chu Yunxing decided to make his move on the day of the engagement banquet.
However, there is one person who might become a variable.
Chu Yunxing took out his phone, stared at the photo on the screen, and fell into deep thought.
The person in the photo is none other than Yu Xiao.
What unknown connection exists between these two faces that are 80% similar?
The next morning, Song Mai put on a black dress, tidied her makeup, and prepared to leave.
Lin Ran was worried that she was emotionally unstable, so she came to her home to go with her.
On the way, Lin Ran looked at her with concern: "Are you really alright?"
"What could possibly happen?" Song Mai smiled, her eyes flashing with an unspoken coldness.
Liu Jia'er has been scheming against me for so long, it's time for her to taste the bitterness.
At the engagement banquet, Chu Yunxing stood expressionless to the side, while Liu Jiaer smiled radiantly and held Qin Jizhi's hand affectionately.
"After today, you'll have to change how you address me." Qin Jizhi looked at the daughter-in-law he had personally chosen, increasingly satisfied.
After all, she's a girl I've watched grow up since she was little, so naturally I like her.
She glanced at Chu Yunxing with displeasure, then walked aside and whispered, "Today is your big day, don't look so gloomy."
Chu Yunxing looked at her calmly, then turned to look at Liu Jiaer, who was negotiating with the others, and said, "Mom, you have to use your heart to feel things many times."
“You clearly have no memory of Song Mai, so why are you unwilling to treat Jia’er any better?”
Apart from a few close friends, everyone subconsciously assumed that Chu Yunxing had forgotten Song Mai.
When word got out that he was going to the hospital to treat Song Mai, everyone just assumed he was visiting out of kindness.
Seeing his mother protecting Liu Jia'er so much, Chu Yunxing lowered his eyes and remained silent.
Qin Jizhi thought that Chu Yunxing had been persuaded by him and nodded with satisfaction: "That's right. You're not getting any younger. It's time for you to settle down and start a family."
A commotion arose outside the door, and Song Mai suddenly appeared before everyone.
Her eyes were curved in a smile, showing no sign of disappointment whatsoever.
A black, belted long dress accentuated her elegant and beautiful figure.
The square neckline revealed her delicate collarbone, and the rhinestones at the neckline subconsciously drew everyone's attention to her.
White lace gloves draped lightly over a black bag, and her skirt blossomed like a sea of flowers as she walked.
"I didn't expect you would actually dare to come."
Liu Jia'er subconsciously thought that she was deliberately trying to cause trouble, so she immediately stepped forward warily and warned in a low voice: "Today is a joyous day. If you don't want to be kicked out in public, you'd better behave yourself."
Song Mai took out the invitation from her bag and handed it over with a smile: "Didn't you invite me?"
Lin Ran chimed in, "That's right, didn't you ask us to congratulate you on your big day?"
Liu Jia'er was furious, but she couldn't lash out in front of everyone.
She hesitated for a moment, then could only grit her teeth and warn, "Fine, you know what's good for you."
When Jiang Jibai arrived and saw this scene, he was terrified.
He walked over cautiously and immediately said, "Ranran, why didn't you wait for me before you came?"
"You're so busy at the hospital, by the time you get here, we'll all be late." Lin Ran was full of anger and took the opportunity to vent it.
Jiang Jibai sighed helplessly, offering a consolation that sounded like he was admitting defeat: "It was indeed my fault. The surgery took longer than expected, which is why you had to wait until now."
Song Mai watched the two flirting with a smile, and Chu Yunxing precisely caught the hint of envy that flashed in her eyes.
He glanced at his assistant, Lu, who nodded, indicating that everything was ready.
Almost everyone had arrived, and they were all congratulating the couple on their engagement. However, Chu Yunxing remained silent, as if he were waiting for something.
Liu Jiaer found it strange: "Ah Xing, aren't we starting yet?"
"No rush, it's not time yet."
Qin Jizhi looked at his indifferent expression and asked in confusion, "Could it be that there is some auspicious time?"
Chu Mingqian said seriously, "An engagement is not a child's play. Do you want all these people here waiting for you to throw a tantrum like a child?"
Just as he was about to answer, he saw Yu Chensheng push the door open and enter.
A smile played on his lips as he said calmly, "We can begin now."
A bad feeling crept into Liu Jia'er's heart. She frowned and forced a smile.
She prayed that her fears wouldn't come true, but when she turned to look at Yu Chensheng, she subconsciously reached out and tugged at the scarf around her neck.
The white silk scarf was to cover the bruises on his neck; Yu Chensheng's outburst last night had left him with a sore back.
Her heart skipped a beat; she didn't want to see the cold smile on Yu Chensheng's face any longer.
The imagined ceremony did not begin. The lights dimmed, and Liu Jiaer slowly appeared on the screen as she walked into a hotel.
Then, the camera shifts to two people on the bed doing something indescribable through the curtains.
It was obvious who the female lead was, and many eyes were fixed on Liu Jiaer.
She waved her hands frantically, looking at Chu Yunxing pleadingly, "This isn't real, this isn't real! Someone must have deliberately made this video to try and sow discord between us!"
Chu Yunxing raised an eyebrow: "Is that so?"
Immediately afterwards, an audio message reached the ears of everyone present.
