Chapter 398 You will be an engaged couple from now on
Compared to Bai Yan's gentle voice, Xiao Ren's expression and tone seemed much colder.
"Come out and meet the guests."
Bai Yan smiled slightly and nodded meekly, "Okay."
Xu Ge watched Bai Yan quietly as she walked to Xiao Ren, her tone somewhat cautious.
"Can I hold your arm?"
Xiao Ren paused, frowning slightly, as if he was reluctant to let her hold his arm.
Zhou Chen reminded them calmly, "You will be an engaged couple from now on."
Xiao Ren glanced at Zhou Chen, understood what he meant, and finally nodded.
Bai Yan then smiled and took his arm, "Mr. Zhou, Mrs. Zhou, Ah Ren and I will be leaving first. You can do whatever you want."
Xu Ge also smiled and nodded. She didn't dare to stare at her, so her eyes could only fall on Xiao Ren's face.
But when she saw Xiao Ren's clueless look, she felt even weirder.
What is going on here?
It was not until the two protagonists left that Xu Ge turned around and stared at Zhou Chen, asking almost impatiently.
"What's going on?"
"It's the situation she just described."
Xu Ge's eyes flashed. "Secretary Bai is the Bai family's illegitimate daughter, but she works as Zhou Zimo's secretary. And now she's engaged to Xiao Ren on Bai Yan's behalf. Xiao Ren, however, doesn't know about this. And as his good friend, you didn't even tell him? What on earth are you up to?"
Zhou Chen couldn't help but raise his lips when he heard her questions, "So quick reaction?"
Xu Ge resisted the urge to roll his eyes, "Are you going to tell me or not?"
"Bai Yan grew up in an orphanage and is one of the students sponsored by the Zhou family. It was naturally my idea for her to be Zimo's secretary."
Xu Ge nodded, "Then she will be engaged to Xiao Ren on behalf of Bai Yan?"
Zhou Chen continued, "The real eldest daughter of the Bai family is receiving treatment abroad, but as far as I know, she is no longer alive and has been in a coma recently. The Bai family doesn't want to miss the opportunity to marry into the Xiao family, so they can only let Bai Bing replace Bai Yan."
Xu Ge could only think of an idiom: the cat replacing the prince.
"Then why don't you tell Xiao Ren? What are your plans?"
"If Xiao Ren knew that the woman he was marrying wasn't Bai Yan, the eldest daughter of the Bai family, but an illegitimate daughter who was not presentable, do you think he would agree to the engagement?"
Xu Ge's eyes flashed, and her eyebrows raised high, "So, you didn't tell him the truth because of Xiao Ren?"
Zhou Chen didn't say anything, but his meaning was very clear, this was his intention.
The purpose of hiding the truth from Xiao Ren was to have him marry into the Bai family and give him the opportunity to truly be the master of the Bai family.
Xu Ge's mind raced for a moment, "But why would Secretary Bai agree to such a ridiculous thing? Or did you ask her to do this?"
He even let Bai Bing be Zhou Zimo's secretary and his spy, so Bai Bing must have been directly under her command.
Xu Ge quickly grasped the key point, "You promised Secretary Bai some benefits, right?"
An offer she couldn't refuse, one she would rather sacrifice the interests of her name and marriage.
Zhou Chen's thin lips slowly rose. "I didn't tell her what to do. She wanted to do it herself. I just provided some help."
"So what are the benefits?" Xu Ge was still most curious about this.
"After Bai Yan's death, the Bai family will recognize her identity
, and buried her mother in the Bai family's ancestral tomb."
Xu Ge blinked and slowly narrowed his eyes, "So, what does it mean to acknowledge her identity?"
Zhou Chen lowered his eyes to look at her face, raised his hand and hooked her chin.
Su Yan reminds you that "Mr. Zhou, your wife went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to queue up again" will be updated in [] as soon as possible. Remember
"To the outside world, she is the real Bai Yan, completely replacing Bai Yan."
"She would rather abandon her own name and become someone else?" Xu Ge didn't quite understand, but seemed to understand.
From an orphan, to an illegitimate daughter of the Bai family who was not recognized, she eventually replaced Bai Yan and became the real eldest daughter of the Bai family.
Live a life of plenty and being envied by others.
What would she do if it were her?
"She wants more than just Bai Yan's life."
Xu Ge's eyelids twitched slightly, and she almost blurted out, "What she wants is Bai..."
"Shh." Zhou Chen put his fingers against her lips at the right time.
The two looked at each other, and Xu Ge blinked before slowly holding his fingers.
"One last question."
Zhou Chen looked at her patiently and kindly, "Yeah."
"Aren't you afraid that Zhou Zimo will recognize her?"
"He won't be showing up today."
"What about after that? Don't you know there's a saying that goes, 'You can't escape the fifteenth day if you can't escape the first day.'"
Zhou Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at her. "So when you see Secretary Bai now, does it remind you of the Secretary Bai you knew?"
Xu Ge shook her head subconsciously. To be honest, she could recognize the words.
In addition, Xu Ge always remembered the foreshadowing that Zhou Chen had laid for him, so she knew that there must be something fishy about this engagement party.
But she really didn't expect the trick to be so big.
Zhou Chen took out his cell phone, found the real photo of Bai Yan and showed it to her.
"This is Bai Yan five years ago."
Xu Ge lowered his head and looked carefully, and found that Bai Bing and Bai
Yan looks very similar, at least 70% to 80%.
If the sisters didn't look so similar, the Bai family probably wouldn't have come up with the idea of replacing their husbands.
If Fang Qing knew about this, it would probably be another story about a heart-wrenching love affair among a wealthy family.
"I was wondering why you were meddling in other people's business and helping Zhang Wanqing arrange a meeting with someone from the Bai family..."
Thinking of Zhang Wanqing, Xu Ge was speechless and said, "Aren't you afraid that she will hate you after she finds out?"
If Xiao Ren knew the truth, this marriage would definitely not take place.
There was no way the Xiao family would allow Xiao Ren to marry an illegitimate daughter.
This marriage will definitely fail.
Zhang Wanqing wouldn't have to leave, and the two of them wouldn't have been separated.
"Even if there's no Bai family, there are still the Li family and the Zhang family. How long can they deceive themselves?"
That's true. Even if the Bai family didn't exist, Xiao Ren wouldn't have the final say in his marriage, and there would be other families for him to choose from.
Then Xiao Ren and Zhang Wanqing are destined to break up.
"I was a little worried that Miss Bai would get hurt in this marriage, but now it seems that my worries were obviously unnecessary, right?"
Zhou Chen held her hand and whispered, "She knows what she wants and she also knows Xiao Ren's situation. I don't think she will have any other feelings for Xiao Ren."
"Well, after a few years, Xiao Ren and Zhang Wanqing will reconcile, and Secretary Bai will get what he wants. Wouldn't that make everyone happy?"
After saying that, Xu Ge couldn't help but tilt his head and look at him, "You really are..."
Zhou Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, "Who am I really?"
Xu Ge stared at his handsome face, raised his hand and pinched his face hard.
"He's very scheming and full of tricks!"
After she finished speaking, she sighed deeply and shook her head with emotion.
"It's not unfair for me to fall into your hands."
Zhou Chen held her fingers tightly and whispered to her, "We should go out."
Xu Ge also felt that the two of them had stayed in someone else's lounge long enough, so he nodded.
"good."
