Chen Chiwei had just learned that his beloved Bai Yueguang, Gu Linzhao, had already gotten off the plane and was rushing over from the airport. He also learned that Gu Linzhao had broken up with her boyfriend and would be staying in the country.
In his heart, the reason he dated Cheng Zhiming was because she looked 50% similar to Gu Linzhao, especially from the side, which made him mistake her for someone else several times. Cheng Zhiming's presence comforted his wounded heart. He chose to get engaged to her because he felt that Cheng Zhiming loved him deeply, and because he knew that Gu Linzhao had a boyfriend and was upset and drunk. At that time, Cheng Zhiming showed concern for him, and he was so moved that he promised to get engaged to her.
Now that Gu Linzhao has returned to China, he feels that his withered love is showing signs of revival.
He couldn't help but speculate that perhaps Gu Linzhao realized his feelings after learning about his engagement. The authentic one was back, and the fake one should give way.
Gu Linzhao's family background was far superior to Zhiming's, and he thought his mother would be supportive. He couldn't wait until they were engaged to break off the engagement, so he went up to his parents and told them about it.
Mother Shen was overjoyed, her son finally figured it out.
"Then cancel the engagement! At worst, I can give her one million to compensate her." If it weren't for the Shen family's reputation, she wouldn't want to pay the one million. Her son had given her some resources during his time with Cheng Zhiming, so she should be content. No matter what, she couldn't let an actor be her future daughter-in-law!
Father Shen's face turned pale, "Nonsense! Do you think you are still a child? Our family has sent out the invitations, and there are only a few minutes before the engagement ceremony. You cancel it just like that. This is not playing house."
Father Shen lowered his voice because he was worried that other guests would hear him.
"If you want to cancel the engagement, wait for a while after the engagement, and then find an excuse to cancel it. For example, our family cannot accept a daughter-in-law who is always in the spotlight..." His son is already in his twenties, and he is still so impulsive in doing things. How can he feel at ease to hand over the family business to him?
Chen Chiwei recalled the affectionate look Cheng Zhiming had when she looked at him, and a faint sense of pity emerged in his heart. She loved him so much, so she must be very sad to hear this news, right?
But Gu Linzhao was his white moonlight, and because he was too sure of their relationship, he had already missed an opportunity. He was unwilling to miss her again, so he could only choose to let Zhiming down. He was willing to give her more money and resources to heal her emotional wounds.
Chen Chiwei coughed lightly, "Isn't Shi Miao here? Can we ask her to tell a white lie to others, saying that Zhiming and I are incompatible and that we are not suitable to be lovers?"
This will also prevent the outside world from making malicious speculations about Zhiming.
Mother Shen was somewhat dissatisfied. She felt that it was not worth it to owe Shi Miao a favor for Cheng Zhiming, an actor. If she had any problems in the future, it would be difficult to find Shi Miao.
Father Shen said coldly: "You have become too independent. You don't want to listen to what your mother and I say. Go find your cousin yourself. Your mother and I don't have the face to ask Shi Miao to move."
Shen Chiwei quickly said, “I’ll go find my cousin right away.”
Time is running out, so don't waste it.
Shi Miao, tucked away in the corner, overheard every conversation between Chen Chiwei and his parents. She was quite willing to see the two break off their engagement. Someone like Chen Chiwei, who used the guise of affection to satisfy his desires, was destined for a lonely life. He wasn't worthy of either Gu Linzhao or Cheng Zhiming. This was also the reason Shi Miao hadn't mentioned Cheng Zhiming as her future disciple from the start; otherwise, the engagement wouldn't have been so easily broken off.
When Shen Chiwei heard this, he hurried to find his cousin Shen Rou. At that time, Shen Rou was talking to Wen Ying. Because Wen Ying was Shi Miao's mother, Shen Chiwei did not avoid her.
Of course, Chen Chiwei wasn't stupid enough to say that he wanted to cancel the engagement because he knew Bai Yueguang had returned and was single again. He said it quite nicely.
"...At that time, I had a high fever that wouldn't go away. Even though she was a busy actress, she gave up everything to take care of me for a week. She even went to Jiugong Temple and kowtowed on every step to pray for my safety. I was really touched and wanted to protect her better, so I got engaged to her. But now I understand that the relationship between us was not love, but just touching and guilty. This was very unfair to Zhiming. She deserves the wholehearted love of a better man than me."
"If we just cancel the engagement like this, I'm afraid people will gossip about her. So, aunt, can you please tell Shi Miao to tell the outside world a white lie, saying that our horoscopes are incompatible and we're not suitable to be together?"
Chen Chiwei felt a little guilty at first, but he became more and more confident as he spoke later.
Shen Rou looked at his seemingly righteous face and had the urge to smash his face.
She said coldly, "Isn't it for Miss Gu? I heard that Xiao Cheng and Miss Gu look a bit alike. You dare to bully her like this, isn't it because you take advantage of the fact that Cheng Zhiming has no backing and no one to stand up for her?"
No wonder Miaomiao said this engagement wouldn't work out. It turned out Chen Chiwei had changed his mind at the last minute. He hadn't regretted it at all, only regretting it after the post had already been sent. Cheng Zhiming had no idea how harshly he would be criticized by then.
And if Miss Gu liked him, would she have other boyfriends? Cheng Zhiming was right, Miss Gu was right, the only one who was wrong was her nephew.
Wait, Chen Rou suddenly remembered that Shi Miao mentioned that although Cheng Zhiming’s engagement party didn’t go through with the marriage, he had the joy of recognizing his relatives.
By now, most of the guests had arrived, and the only one missing was Gu Linzhao, who had returned from abroad. Gu Linzhao looked somewhat similar to Cheng Zhiming...
