Bai Hao sat steadily in the passenger seat. With a turn of the key, the car's engine roared to life. He expertly maneuvered the car slowly out, then turned to Rong Lin in the back seat and patiently explained, "Tianjun, please don't overthink it. The truth is, my Seventh Uncle tragically passed away in a sudden accident, and you happened to return at this juncture, making you the perfect person to take over his position."
"This is what is known as the 'return of the prince'. Also, considering that the car accident was clearly an act of deliberate murder, the first thing you must do upon returning to the Rong family is to find the murderer hiding in the shadows and seek justice for yourself."
Rong Lin listened quietly to Bai Hao's story, flipping through a stack of detailed information about family affairs and interpersonal relationships that had just been handed to him.
A playful smile curled up the corners of his mouth as he muttered to himself, "This Seventh Uncle has actually been secretly in love with Chu Chu for so many years? Moreover, the first formal occasion after my return was actually Chu Chu and that scumbag's engagement party? Even more interesting, that scumbag even had to respectfully call me uncle? Who came up with this plot? It's really unique."
After hearing this, Bai Hao couldn't help but chuckle and responded, "Humanity's storybooks are always filled with all kinds of twists and turns."
As Bai Hao finished speaking, the car moved steadily through the city streets, heading towards the engagement party where a series of events were about to unfold.
Bai Hao drove the car steadily and stopped in front of a magnificent manor. The gate of the manor slowly opened, as if laying a red carpet to glory for Rong Lin, the returning "Seventh Uncle".
Under the night sky, with bright lights and endless stream of guests, a grand engagement banquet is about to begin.
Rong Lin wore a tailored black suit, perfectly tailored, every inch of fabric framing his tall figure. His silver tie gleamed with a low-key yet luxurious radiance under the light. He slowly entered the venue, each step exuding an undeniable dignity and dominance, like an aristocrat stepping out of an ancient scroll, his handsomeness breathtaking.
Bai Hao followed closely behind, scanning the surroundings with vigilance to ensure that everything was safe. Inside the venue, melodious music played, and people gathered in groups of three or five, chatting and laughing.
Rong Lin stopped and his eyes penetrated the crowd, locking onto a certain direction.
Chuchu, dressed in a long white dress, looked like a fairy descending from the earth, pure yet elegant. Her long hair was gently pulled up, revealing her delicate collarbone, and the pearl necklace around her neck shone softly under the light.
Chuchu was talking with some close friends with a faint smile on her face, but that smile seemed to hide an imperceptible melancholy.
While Rong Lin was staring at Chu Chu, Chu Chu seemed to sense something and looked up suddenly. Their eyes met in the noisy crowd, and it seemed as if the whole world had stopped.
A hint of surprise flashed across Chuchu's eyes, and was then replaced by an indescribable tenderness. It was the joy of reunion after a long separation, and also seemed to be curiosity and expectation about an unknown fate.
Rong Lin responded with a faint smile, which showed his admiration for Chu Chu as well as his confidence and composure in the role he was about to play.
The guests continued their socializing, while the eye contact between Rong Lin and Chu Chu was like a silent movie, quietly playing out between the two of them.
As the dinner reached its climax, the host announced that the engagement ceremony was about to begin. The lights in the venue dimmed and the spotlight focused on the center of the stage.
Chu Chu and the scumbag Rong Junhao, one is the apple of the family's eye, and the other is a young talent who seems gentle but is actually scheming. The two stand side by side, ready to exchange engagement rings.
Just as the host said, "Please take a look at your sweet experiences in the past."
In the video, Rong Junhao and Chu Chu's sister, Chu Yuan, were in a dimly lit room, behaving intimately, speaking frivolously, and engaging in unspeakable things. They looked like a couple. This scene, like a bolt from the blue, instantly detonated the entire venue.
The guests looked at each other and talked a lot. Chu Chu's face turned pale in an instant. She looked at the screen in disbelief, her body trembling slightly.
Rong Junhao's face turned pale, and a flash of panic flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by anger. He tried to turn off the screen, but was stopped by a staff member, who told him that the signal was transmitted directly from the technical department and could not be interrupted.
"This... this is fake! Someone framed me!" Rong Junhao shouted at the top of his lungs, but his voice sounded so weak in the conference hall.
Chuchu's gaze shifted from the screen to Rong Junhao. The gentleness she had previously held was gone, replaced by a coldness and determination. "Rong Junhao, what else do you have to say?" Her voice was soft, but every word was clear, like a sharp blade piercing the other's heart.
Rong Lin stood at the edge of the crowd with a playful smile on his lips. He had already learned about the arrangements from Bai Hao. At this moment, he was just quietly enjoying this "good show" that was indirectly promoted by himself.
Rong Junhao wanted to quibble, but Chu Chu didn't want to listen anymore. She turned and walked to the microphone in the center of the stage. She took a deep breath and announced in a firm and clear voice: "Dear friends and family, today I want to announce one thing - my engagement with Rong Junhao is cancelled."
The venue erupted in an uproar, with people casting surprised and curious glances. Chu Chu continued, "I originally thought I had found a lifelong partner, but facts have proven me wrong. True love shouldn't be based on deception and betrayal. Thank you all for coming today, and please bear witness that I, Chu Chu, will no longer have anything to do with Rong Junhao."
After saying that, Chuchu took off the engagement ring in her hand and threw it into the air. The ring drew a brilliant arc in the air and finally disappeared into the darkness. At this moment, she seemed to have unloaded all the burdens and became relaxed.
Rong Lin looked at Chu Chu, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
No matter in which life, no matter at any time, Chuchu will always be the brave one.
Following Chuchu's announcement, the engagement party completely devolved into a farce. Guests began to leave one after another, with discussions rising one after another. Rong Junhao was like a lost dog, being pointed at and criticized by family members and guests, and his face was completely humiliated.
Chuchu, accompanied by her best friend, was preparing to leave the venue.
At this moment, Rong Lin slowly walked towards her with a gentle smile on his face. "Ms. Chu, you are particularly dazzling tonight." His voice was low and magnetic, impossible to ignore.
Chu Chu looked up and met Rong Lin's deep eyes, and an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart.
She smiled slightly and responded politely: "Thank you, Mr. Rong, for the compliment."
Rong Lin actually felt inexplicably lost in his heart. After all, she had become a completely different person, someone who didn't recognize him at all.
As soon as he finished speaking, someone rushed over, "Uncle Qi, you're back? Didn't they all say you were missing?"
