After the divorce, the boss tore off my vest with his own hands

After finishing her makeup, Bai Jingyue, as Chu Zhixin's closest sister, went to North City with Bai Jingxing as soon as possible.

The hotel where the engagement ceremony was held was a royal-level hotel with a magnificent hall. Guests had already arrived one after another, and the atmosphere was full of grandeur and luxury as they toasted each other.

"Xinxin, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm late!"

Bai Jingyue came to the hotel suite where Chu Zhixin was waiting, and apologized with his hands clasped together, "It's all my brother's fault. I don't know what he was doing wrong. He insisted that he didn't want to join in the fun, but in the end I still forced him to come, so it took some time. Don't be angry!"

"Silly boy, why should I be angry? This ceremony really doesn't have much significance. It's just a reassurance for the Baili family. It doesn't matter whether you come or not."

Chu Zhixin's expression was indifferent, without any of the happiness and anticipation of being a bride-to-be.

Originally, this engagement ceremony was just a formality, its purpose was to announce to the world that her relationship with Baili Chengfeng was set in stone. In her heart, she was actually a little repulsed.

At this time, she didn't want her relatives and friends to come.

"Let me tell you, the purpose of this ceremony is not pure. They are just using our Chu Lao Da as a tool. I don't want to help the evildoers."

Bai Jingxing crossed his arms, his nose and eyes showed his unhappiness.

He was more perceptive than Bai Jingxing. He could guess the purpose of the Baili family just by looking at the specifications of the ceremony. He felt that this feeling was not very comfortable. It felt like they were forcing Chu Zhixin to do something morally blackmailing him.

Chu Zhixin has always been the goddess in his heart, the boss he admires. Now even her marriage has been "kidnapped". He is not only unhappy with the Baili family's little tricks, but more disappointed with Chu Zhixin.

"Brother, today is Xinxin's engagement ceremony. Can you please say something nice? What do you mean by aiding and abetting evil? You make it sound like Xinxin is about to jump into a fire pit. What are you thinking?"

Bai Jingyue glared at Bai Jingxing unhappily, then took Chu Zhixin's arm and said, "Xinxin, don't bother with him. He's having a seizure again and can't spit out ivory. I taught him a lesson when I came here, but who knew he would still be so unrepentant. It makes me so angry."

"Ah Xing is right. This ceremony is just for show. You don't have to take it too seriously."

Chu Zhixin adjusted her red coral earrings without changing her expression, like an actor about to go on stage, and said calmly: "Just treat it as a part of our gathering."

"Okay!"

Bai Jingyue was half depressed, and said with a sincere heart: "Have you really thought it through? Do you want to announce the news of your remarriage to the world? I see that you don't seem to be looking forward to it, nor are you happy. Why force yourself?"

"No forcing."

Chu Zhixin raised an eyebrow and said calmly: "But I really don't expect it."

"Then what do you want?"

Bai Jingxing had been leaning against the wall in silence, but now he finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked with a cold face.

"I want stability, I want peace, I want to be myself."

Chu Zhixin stated without hesitation the reason why she chose to marry Baili Chengfeng.

"Then you can marry anyone. There's no need to marry so far away. If it really doesn't work..."

Bai Jingxing paused, and said half jokingly and half seriously: "You can use me as a substitute!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere became extremely awkward.

Bai Jingyue clenched his toes, wishing he could escape underground. "Brother, can you stop spreading your feathers like an old peacock? You haven't dealt with your own messy emotions yet, so don't involve Xinxin in this. You should know when to stop joking."

Bai Jingxing also felt that what he said was too much, so he raised his hands in surrender and said, "Okay, I admit defeat, I admit defeat, just treat it as a fart, don't take it too seriously."

Chu Zhixin and Bai Jingyue couldn't help but be amused by Bai Jingxing, and the atmosphere became a little more relaxed.

"But, Boss Chu, have you really thought it through? Once the engagement ceremony is held today, you are already on board the Baili family. There is no chance to regret it."

Bai Jingxing was still a little worried about Chu Zhixin.

Everyone knows what kind of family tradition the Baili family has. They made such a big scene today to announce it to the world. If something unexpected happens by then, I'm afraid the Chu family will have to experience a second "extermination" again.

Although it was hard to judge the outcome at that time, he didn't understand why Chu Zhixin had to take the risk when it was a trouble that could obviously be avoided?

"Think it through."

Chu Zhixin nodded and said confidently: "From the moment I followed Baili Chengfeng on the plane to Beicheng, I thought it through."

That time was the last chance she gave Sheng Tingye.

She was looking forward to the man showing up and taking her back to Haicheng. As long as she showed up, no matter what explanation he gave, she would unconditionally believe him and forgive him.

What a pity, it was just her wishful thinking after all...

"I heard that the Sheng family was also invited and they decided to attend."

Bai Jingxing carefully told the news he had heard.

Many famous families were invited to this engagement ceremony. As the leader of the eight major families in Haicheng, the Sheng family naturally became the focus of many people.

Everyone knows that the Sheng family and the Baili family have been at odds for many years. One of the two families is the king of Haicheng, and the other is the sky of Beicheng. Although the two sides dislike each other, they don't have much intersection after all, so they have been living in peace over the years.

Now, the emergence of Chu Zhixin has become a link between the two major families, but whether this link is a bridge or a fuse is worth waiting to see.

Apart from anything else, isn’t the Baili family’s high-profile announcement a provocation to the Sheng family?

At this time, whether the Sheng family would attend and what their attitude would be if they attended became the most concerned issue for everyone, even more than the engagement ceremony itself.

So, this engagement ceremony, ostensibly an engagement ceremony, was actually a contest between two families.

Chu Zhixin is a key figure caught in the middle. One can imagine how difficult the situation will be at that time.

"I think you can refuse. There's no need to put yourself in that dangerous position..."

This is also where Bai Jingxing is most worried. He is afraid that Chu Zhixin will become a tool for the two families to compete and will be hurt. He said seriously: "Why don't you tell the Baili family now that you are not feeling well and cancel the ceremony temporarily? As long as the ceremony doesn't start, the two families won't fight, and you won't be stuck in the middle."

"That's too late."

Chu Zhixin shook his head. "I have made my choice. It is not difficult to be a human being. As for the direction of the Sheng family and the Baili family, it is the business of these two families. I cannot influence it."

"It's not too late, as long as you want it, it's not too late!"

Bai Jingxing grabbed Chushi Zhixin's wrist and said, "Come on, I'll go and talk to him for you!"
