On the day of breaking off the engagement, I got married to my ex-uncle

"Well, I just happened to have an appointment with someone here, would you like to go together?" the man continued and hung up the phone before she could respond.

He didn't ask for her opinion, and didn't care whether she had already made an appointment with someone else. He even made the decision to help her make an appointment with Su Yuqing. The whole process was done in one go, without giving Chu Xixi any chance to resist. If he hadn't really meant it, she would have almost suspected that he did it on purpose.

The man was very happy, with a smile on his face. He knew that she and Su Yuqing had something to discuss, so he was more or less relieved.

In fact, men are also afraid that their little wife will take advantage of her successful career and run away. In addition, Su Yuqing has been making a lot of moves recently. Although Su Yuqing and Qin Shiyu have successfully resolved them every time, he still can't help but worry.

In this challenge, investor Xu Yuanmo, who has always been known for his calmness and confidence, could not help but frown at this moment. The aroma of coffee filled the room, but Xu Yuanmo knew that this could not soothe Chu Xixi's shaken heart.

"Xixi, almost all investors want to withdraw." Xu Yuanmo's voice was low and firm. He faced Chu Xixi and called her by her name, trying to give her strength.

Chu Xixi's eyes were a little tired, but more determined. "They are so short-sighted, they will regret it."

Xu Yuanmo looked at her deeply. He realized that Chu Xixi needed more than just an investor, but a partner who could truly support her. "Maybe I should let them know what persistence and trust mean."

That night, Xu Yuanmo arranged for extra security guards to stand guard outside the design studio. He stood in the shadow of a tree in the distance, with the lights of the bustling city behind him. He looked at the figure under the lights until late at night, until all the lights went out, until only the night was with him.

The next morning, just after the sun came out, Xu Yuanmo drove to the orphanage. He found that Chu Xixi had not left the design studio yet. She had been leaning over the desk, her pen rustling on the paper. It was obvious that she had not rested all night.

Xu Yuanmo did not disturb her, but just stood quietly outside the door. Through the half-open door, he saw the tired and focused Chu Xixi, and his heart was filled with something. He didn't want to look at the world with its stale and sharp perspective anymore, he wanted to stand with this tough woman.

It was not until the evening, before the layers of shadows were about to fall on the design studio, that Xu Yuanmo finally knocked on the door gently.

"Chu Xixi." His voice seemed to come from far away.

Chu Xixi raised her head, her eyes looked even deeper due to lack of sleep. "What's wrong, Mr. Xu, is there anything else?"

"Xixi." Xu Yuanmo slowly opened the door. He walked to her desk and put down a beam of sunlight. "He didn't say anything else, just stared at her quietly.

Chu Xixi put down her phone, frowning. Although Zhao Xueer's accusation was groundless, at such a critical moment, any disturbance could affect her eligibility to participate.

"Mr. Xu, can you do me a favor?" Chu Xixi suddenly looked up, with determination in her eyes.

Xu Yuanmo smiled slightly, as if he had expected her to say this. "Of course, Xixi, go ahead."

"I need you to help me check the relationship between Zhao Xueer and Huo Hangfan. She suddenly became angry, and I suspect there is a conspiracy behind this." Chu Xixi's voice was calm, but with a hint of anger.

Xu Yuanmo nodded, took out his phone and dialed a number. "Jiang Jinyu, use your manpower to help me find out all of Zhao Xueer's recent movements and her contact records with Huo Hangfan."

After hanging up the phone, he looked at Chu Xixi. "Don't worry, Xixi, I will do my best to help you."

Chu Xixi took a deep breath and returned to her design drawing. She knew that this competition was not only for her career, but also for defending her dignity.

Just as she was about to continue working, the door of the design studio was pushed open again. Qin Shiyu ran in breathlessly, with anxiety written all over her face. "Xixi, this is bad. Zhao Xueer just published a long article saying that your design was plagiarized from hers, and she has already reported it to the media!"

"What?" Chu Xixi stood up suddenly, a burst of anger in her heart. "She is talking nonsense!"

Qin Shiyu held her hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, we will definitely find evidence to prove your innocence."

Chu Xixi nodded, trying to calm herself down. "Okay, let's find a solution together. Shi Yu, go contact the media and issue a statement to refute her accusations. I'm going to start preparing materials for the competition. We can't let this villain succeed."

Qin Shiyu nodded and immediately took out his phone to contact the media. Chu Xixi focused on sorting out the competition information. She knew that only by making the truth known to the world could Zhao Xueer's lies be exposed.

A few hours later, Song Yian and Xu Yuanmo walked into the design studio again. Song Yian held several documents in his hand with a confident smile on his face. "Xixi, we found the chat records between Zhao Xueer and Huo Hangfan. They had colluded long ago and wanted to bring you down before the competition."

Xu Yuanmo handed the documents to Chu Xixi, his tone firm. "These records are enough to prove Zhao Xueer's malicious slander. We can make these evidence public so that she can no longer discredit you."

Chu Xixi took the document, a trace of gratitude flashed in her eyes. "Thank you, thank you so much." She felt an unprecedented power, as if there was an invisible support behind her pushing her forward.

Just as they were about to make the evidence public, there was a commotion outside the door. Several reporters rushed in, flashbulbs flashing non-stop, obviously having heard the news.

"Ms. Chu, what is your response to Zhao Xueer's accusations?" a reporter asked first.

Chu Xixi stood up calmly and faced the camera, her eyes firm and confident. "Zhao Xueer's accusation is completely nonsense. This is a conspiracy between her and Huo Hangfan. I have evidence of their collusion. Please see the truth and don't be misled by rumors."

After that, she showed the documents in her hand to the reporters. Flashes flashed frequently, and reporters took photos to record. Chu Xixi knew that this storm would soon subside, and she would also usher in her own victory.

However, just when she thought everything was settled, a familiar yet unexpected voice came from the door: "Xixi, I'm back." It was Huo Hangfan. His appearance made the whole room fall into silence in an instant.

Xu Yuanmo's eyes shuttled back and forth in the room, as if he was looking for something. He felt that although he tried his best to plan a perfect plan, he still couldn't let go. It seemed that there was always a pair of eyes watching him, making him unable to completely relax.

"President, the information you requested has been prepared." Song Yian walked into Xu Yuanmo's office with a stack of documents and gently placed the documents on the desk.

Xu Yuanmo nodded, and he turned his gaze from the window to the document. "Well done, Yi An." His voice was cold and low, with an authority that could not be ignored.

Song Yian stood in front of his desk and said hesitantly: "President, have you really decided? Opening up to Miss Chu may cause a lot of unnecessary trouble."

Xu Yuanmo's eyes flashed with determination. "For her, there is nothing I cannot bear. I will not only give her a name, but also make her position in the Chu family unshakable. These are what she deserves."

Song Yian was stunned for a moment, then smiled. "You finally admitted it, President. The calm and self-controlled you in the past has also come to this day."

Xu Yuanmo couldn't help but smile, but his eyes soon became firm again. "Yi An, get ready. We will go to the banquet together tomorrow. It's time to let everyone know that Chu Xixi is my wife, Xu Yuanmo."

"Then, should we include Miss Shao Yuwei in the dinner invitation list?" Song Yian asked tentatively.

Xu Yuanmo's face darkened instantly. "She doesn't deserve to be on that list."

Meanwhile, in the interrogation room, the atmosphere between the police and Zhao Xueer was tense. The police had a serious expression on their faces. "Zhao Xueer, your testimony is inconsistent with the evidence you provided before. Are you deliberately misleading the police?"

Zhao Xueer's face showed panic and pleading. "Officer, I, I didn't mean it. I just lied because I was jealous... Please, don't sue me..."

The policeman sighed. "You'd better tell the truth, otherwise it will only make your situation more difficult."

At this moment, Xu Yuanmo opened the door and walked in, his eyes fell on Zhao Xueer. "Officer, I believe this lady needs some time to think about how to confess, but I believe justice will be served."

Amidst the chaos, Chu Xixi single-handedly cleared a path through the thorns.

No matter how outrageous the rumors were, they could not escape the mouths of the public. She refuted the rumors one by one, and her decades of accumulation of experience and talent were revealed at this time.

The competition was held as scheduled, and this incident did not cause any uproar. However, similar incidents occurred one after another after that design competition.

Song Yian told himself that it was precisely because Chu Xixi won the championship of the design competition that year that those people with ulterior motives kept targeting Chu Xixi.

Because of jealousy.

The ugliest and dirtiest side of human nature was mercilessly exposed to Chu Xixi.

She successfully became a stepping stone for them to gain fame and fortune.

Moreover, according to Song Yian, these "achievements" would rather kill someone innocently than let him go.

Xixi, who was already sitting in the middle of the banquet, behaved modestly and generously, with her every move full of infinite reserved charm.

But even an outstanding woman like her cannot escape the fate of being pointed at behind her back.

But when she smiled and agreed to everyone's discussion on the valuation of the yard and other aspects, she was criticized by everyone.

But at this moment, she just wanted to finish her studies quickly and return to her hometown.

The representative of the heirs came directly to the school to find Xixi. She told Xixi that if Xixi could give birth to a child as soon as possible, the other party would be more helpful, which would be conducive to the surface peaceful relationship.

Xixi didn't try to evade the question, because that would be too rude. She ran back directly and rejected the arrangement of these matters cleanly and neatly. From then on, her world no longer had any connection with that person or others.

She has no one to back her up, and all poisonous things have been eradicated by her.

"But before that..." She raised her head slightly, looking into the distance through the office window. "We still have one important thing to do." On her right hand side was a design drawing, with smooth and decisive lines, and "Chu Xixi" written in her signature font in the lower left corner.

Chu Xixi thought about it and came to a cooperative organization to ask for some information. "Hello, I want to ask for more details about the recent architectural design competition held in Jincheng."

"Of course, Miss Chu." The person who received her took out a pile of information and introduced the information of the competition in detail.

By the time all the arrangements were made, it was already past the end of the get off work day. Xu Yuanmo glanced at his watch, turned to Chu Xixi beside him and said gently, "Let's go, Xixi, we should go to the appointment."

Chu Xixi's heart suddenly started beating faster. She lowered her head slightly, and the uneasiness hidden in her heart surged up again. "You haven't been back for so long, I..."

"It's okay. I know you're busy." Xu Yuanmo rubbed her hair and said with a smile, "I've already booked a table. Now is the perfect time. Let's go try out what new dishes the private chef you like has introduced."

The two walked into the afterglow of the sunset. Xu Yuanmo put his coat on Chu Xixi's shoulders and asked in a low voice, "Xixi, what do you want to eat tonight?"

There was an indescribable tenderness in his eyes. She raised her head to meet his gaze, and suddenly felt relieved. "Anything is fine, as long as you do it."

As night fell, the city's skyline gradually blurred, with only traces of neon lights disappearing in the vast night. The two held hands and took the elevator to the most prosperous private restaurant in the city center.

The doorbell rang, the door opened, the light poured in, and warmth filled the house.
