Chapter 220 "Am I really useless?"
Mr. Cheng greeted him: "It really is Young Master Xu!"
"Just in time"
He directly handed Xu Bai an invitation.
"Young Master Xu, we'll be family soon! I'm getting married tomorrow, remember to come!"
Xu Bai:......
Xu Bai stared at the invitation in his hand, utterly bewildered.
Throughout Hong Kong, everyone knows how unreliable Cheng's father is.
But now that he had truly witnessed this absurdity, Xu Bai realized just how outrageous it was.
Cheng Sangsang's face flushed instantly: "What are you doing!"
She quickly threw the invitation back!
Mr. Cheng didn't mind and casually stuffed the invitation back into his pocket: "If you don't want to come, then you don't have to."
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of staff members in uniforms got out of the convoy, carrying red silk and couplets, and walked in familiarly through the door.
Mr. Cheng then enthusiastically introduced, "These are all old friends. They were the ones who arranged my weddings the last few times."
"Oh, I don't think so last time. I didn't have a wedding banquet last time; I went on a destination wedding."
"By the way, do you want them when you get married...?"
Seeing that he was going on and on, Cheng Sangsang immediately interrupted him with a dark face: "Stop talking!"
"...Fine, I won't say then."
Mr. Cheng was in a good mood today and didn't mind being interrupted. He waved his hand and left with his men.
Silence returned to the hall.
Cheng Sangsang felt she should explain, "He...that's just how he is, don't listen to his nonsense!"
His father is always deeply immersed in marriage. Over the years, he has been getting married, divorced, divorced, and married again... it's like a cycle.
Leave casually, marry with commitment.
"Just ignore him. He doesn't care about the wedding at all. The invitations are probably leftovers from his previous weddings!"
Xu Bai was a little confused and asked, "Then why get married?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Cheng Sangsang froze, feeling as if she had been hit hard on the head with a heavy punch!
...
yes……
Why get married at all?
If you're going to get divorced anyway, why get married in the first place?
Cheng Sangsang unconsciously bit her lip, her mind suddenly in a mess.
Xu Bai didn't understand, and shrugged indifferently. It didn't matter how many times Cheng's father got married.
The important thing is the small curly hair.
etc!
Remembering something, Xu Bai quickly slapped his forehead!
I almost forgot! He has something very important to do today that he hasn't done yet!
Xu Bai took a deep breath and mustered his courage again, "...Um...Sang Sang, I have something to tell you!"
He reached out to take her hand.
But the next second, his wrist snapped open, and he grabbed nothing at all.
Xu Bai looked up, his face blank.
"...Little Curly, what's wrong?"
Cheng Sangsang snapped out of her daze, her eyes flickering, "Well..."
"Oh right, I just remembered, Tu Xiaomao stayed up all night writing a proposal yesterday, and she seems to need to talk to you about something!"
"My older sister is looking for me?" Xu Bai scratched the back of his head. "Then I'll go find her later."
As for now...
Xu Bai coughed nervously and clenched his fist; unsurprisingly, his hands were covered in cold sweat.
"I...I have something very important to tell you!"
He wiped his sweat and instead reached for the girl's clothes.
Cheng Sangsang clenched her fist tightly and suddenly took a step back.
Xu Bai was taken aback.
"...Sang Sang?"
Cheng Sangsang avoided his gaze and gave an awkward laugh: "I think... why don't you go find Tu Xiaomao first! Tu Xiaomao's matter is more important!"
"Yes, Tu Xiaomao's matter can't be delayed, you go quickly!"
After saying that, she ran away without looking back!
Xu Bai stood there dumbfounded.
What happened?
Wasn't everything fine just now?
Xu Bai thought hard for a while, but couldn't figure it out.
He quickly chased after him!
...
In the courtyard, Mr. Cheng was directing people to tend to the flowerbeds. He has been married seven times so far, and he personally handled all the pre-wedding preparations for each one.
Turning around, I saw Cheng Sangsang running towards me.
"What kind of behavior is this, so impulsive and rash! Why weren't you with Young Master Xu?"
The flowerbeds were covered in red ribbons, which hurt Cheng Sangsang's eyes. She said irritably, "Why should I accompany him?!"
Mr. Cheng, unusually kind, casually advised, "It's not that I'm saying this, but you need to change your temper. After you get married, do you expect your future spouse to put up with you for nothing?"
These words were like stepping on Cheng Sangsang's tail; she immediately jumped up and down: "What marriage! I'm not getting married!"
What do you mean by that?
Mr. Cheng's expression immediately turned serious. Although he was addicted to wine, women, wealth, and power, he still had basic judgment and immediately realized that Cheng Sangsang's words were not just said in anger.
He quickly evacuated the team.
"What do you mean you won't get married?"
"I'm not getting married, that's all! Don't you understand?"
Mr. Cheng got angry: "Come here and explain yourself!"
"What kind of attitude is that!"
"The whole city of Hong Kong knows you're engaged to the Xu family, and now you're saying you won't get married!"
"What do you want to do! Explain yourself!"
Cheng Sangsang's head was buzzing from the question.
"What are you saying? Is it so hard to understand what I mean by 'I'm not getting married'?"
She covered her ears and shouted, "I hate Xu Bai! He's my mortal enemy! I will never marry him, not in this lifetime! Do you understand?!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw Xu Bai staring blankly at her from across the room.
Xu Bai opened his mouth, as if confused, or as if incredulous.
"...Little curly-haired girl, you still hate me?"
Cheng Sangsang's body stiffened, "I..."
She slowly lowered her hand.
He wanted to say something, but immediately closed his eyes and hurriedly looked away.
Separated by a field of blooming flowers, neither of them spoke, standing motionless like two silent statues.
Cheng's father was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat. Fearing he would offend Xu Bai, he grabbed the man and pulled him over!
"What nonsense are you spouting!"
Turning to her, she smiled ingratiatingly, "Young Master Xu, how could Sang Sang possibly dislike you? I've heard everything; you two have been getting along quite well lately."
"In that case, after I finish my wedding banquet, I will pay a visit to Mr. Xu so that our two families can set a date!"
Cheng Sangsang seemed to be provoked by certain words in those sentences again, and immediately retorted, "I won't get married!"
"Cheng Sangsang!"
Mr. Cheng was furious. "The engagement was arranged a long time ago. You can't just say you don't want to marry me. What's wrong with you?!"
Cheng Sangsang forcefully shook off his hand, "When did I agree to that!"
With red eyes, she said, enunciating each word clearly, "If you want to get married, go ahead and get married. You can get married ten or eight times, it's up to you, just don't drag me into it!"
"You child! How has your uncle raised you? I entrusted you to him, and this is how he spoils you!"
"You! You can insult me all you want, but why are you talking about my uncle!"
The father and daughter started arguing back and forth.
Xu Bai had never seen such a scene before and was at a loss for what to do.
He scratched his head and quickly urged, "...Stop arguing, stop arguing."
"No marriage... no marriage then."
"I hate it, so what..."
Several meters away, he stared at Cheng Sangsang's already red eyes and murmured, "...Don't cry."
A single, quiet sentence was instantly drowned out by the intense noise.
Mr. Cheng couldn't win the argument with his daughter at all, and a few minutes later, the two parted ways.
Cheng Sangsang turned and left. As she passed Xu Bai, she tried to keep a straight face and threw out a sentence: "You're not allowed to follow me!"
Xu Bai froze, and in a moment of distraction, Cheng Sangsang had already run far away.
The flowerbed was completely silent.
Xu Bai shivered from the wind, and after a while, he turned and left.
He walked all the way to the courtyard gate, touched his somewhat heavy heart, picked a blade of grass, sat down, and idly tugged at it.
Halfway through the struggle, a figure appeared beside him.
Xu Bai immediately looked up, and after seeing who it was, the expectation in his eyes gradually faded.
"Xiaobai, it's me."
Tu Yao, holding the project proposal in her arms, sat down next to him.
Xu Bai lowered his head again, and after a while, a dejected voice rang out.
"...Big sister, am I really useless?"
Tu Yao sighed, "This is really bad, it's not going to be 1,800 chapters, is it?"
