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

Her heart couldn't help but skip a beat. Although she didn't remember Xu Yuanmo completely, such a direct and frank invitation made her feel a little excited. "Okay, I'm interested. But I need to know the details of the project first."

"Of course. How about tomorrow night? We can meet at the Starlight Lounge and talk in detail." Xu Yuanmo's proposal was like a ray of light, illuminating Chu Xixi's busy night.

Chu Xixi accepted the invitation without much hesitation. The next night, she showed up at the Starlight Lounge on time, wearing a simple yet elegant black dress. Under the lights, her figure was particularly dazzling, attracting the attention of many people around her.

At this time, a tall man in a well-tailored suit walked out of the crowd, and his eyes were fixed on Chu Xixi. Xu Yuanmo walked towards her slowly with a gentle smile on his face, and extended his hand. "Chu Xixi, I'm glad you're here."

Holding the hand he handed over, Chu Xixi felt nervous and curious. She smiled slightly, but she didn't know how this night would unfold a new chapter in her life.

Following the guide, she walked through a long corridor, past exquisite potted plants and many famous oil paintings, and arrived in front of a simple room. The door was gently pushed open, and a faint scent of tea filled her nose.

The room was decorated simply but elegantly. An old man in training clothes stood on one side, and another elegant and dignified woman sat in front of a guqin. The sound of the guqin seemed to stop the moment she entered.

The old man spoke first, "In a sudden flash of thought, I seemed to see a young girl in her prime many years ago, performing her short but brilliant dream on the stage."

Chu Xixi was shocked by the scene before her. Wasn't this old man the dance master Gu Zhen who had appeared in major newspapers countless times? And that woman should be his partner for many years, the musician Lin Ning.

Gu Zhen slowly approached her, his eyes filled with relief and emotion, "I believe in you, Xixi. Just like I believed in her back then, you have the power to move the world."

Chu Xixi's eyes were moist, "Master Gu, thank you for your affirmation and trust."

Lin Ning stroked the guqin gently, his eyes deep, "My child, you have the blood of perseverance flowing in your body. Your path is always in your own hands."

Her words were soft and gentle, but like a beam of light, shining into the deepest part of Chu Xixi's heart.

"Don't be afraid of the thorns ahead, and don't pay too much attention to the onlookers." Gu Zhen looked at her, with blessings and memories in his eyes, "The real stage belongs to you."

Chu Xixi's eyes flashed with determination, "I will remember your words and repay your trust in me with my sincerity and hard work."

That night, she left with a new sense of strength under Gu Zhen's encouragement. Lin Ning sat in front of the guqin like a sculpture, staring at her departing figure - a prelude about youth, dreams and love was quietly unveiled.

In the room, Chu Xixi only brought a laptop, and the rest of the people stayed outside. She knew Xu Yuanmo's intentions, after all, the grievances in the circle were hard to explain.

After he explained everything, he signaled her to start. Chu Xixi took a deep breath and opened her design album for the new project. She explained her concept and compared some famous cases at home and abroad, trying to make it easier for Xu Yuanmo to understand.

The discussion was quite engaging, with Xu Yuanmo occasionally raising insightful opinions, which also helped Chu Xixi gain a deeper understanding of her own design concepts. During the discussion, they were like a pair of partners who worked well together, looking for sparks of inspiration in the collision of ideas.

The quietness of the night added a bit of silence to their discussion, and the entire room was divided into light and dark by the light from the projection screen. Time passed quietly during the communication, and Chu Xixi almost forgot the existence of the outside world.

As the discussion drew to a close, Xu Yuanmo nodded slightly, with a hint of recognition and appreciation in his eyes. He said, "Chu Xixi, your design is very creative. I look forward to seeing more of your wonderful works in the future. And your design concept will also inspire my work."

When leaving, the people waiting outside the door looked at Chu Xixi with slightly different eyes. They seemed to have witnessed some kind of change, some kind of change in the tacit understanding between Chu Xixi and Xu Yuanmo.

When Chu Xixi returned to her residence, her studio partners sent her a message saying that they had received a formal invitation for cooperation from Xu Yuanmo's team. At this moment, she realized that the dinner and the discussion were not just a dream, but a real prelude to changing her destiny.

Chu Xixi was filled with excitement and gratitude. She was more certain than ever that the wheel of fate was turning in a better direction. All this was because of that name - Xu Yuanmo.

Chu Xixi was shocked to find that she was taken to Qingshan Orphanage.

This building filled with warmth and memories stood in the night, and the dimly lit windows looked like countless bright eyes staring at her. Standing at the gate of the orphanage, Chu Xixi couldn't help but stop and looked at Xu Yuanmo beside her in confusion.

"What are we doing here?" she asked curiously.

Xu Yuanmo smiled softly, "Today is a special day. I think you may be more relaxed and more comfortable here." He walked up the steps and opened the door of the orphanage. "Besides, the results of our discussion will be more meaningful."

Chu Xixi stepped into this familiar yet strange building, and an inexplicable sense of familiarity surged in her heart. Although the outside world was magnificent, everything here was so warm and peaceful. They came to a quiet corner, surrounded by various handicrafts and works of art. This environment was indeed as he said, making her feel less tense.

During the communication, Xu Yuanmo not only had profound insights into design, but also shared some of his overseas project experiences from time to time. They talked about architecture, interior design, and then expanded from interior design to environmental art. Chu Xixi was surprised to find that their communication was both enriching and inspiring.

The evening breeze blew gently through the window, bringing the fragrance of the orphanage's backyard. Xu Yuanmo's casual smile caused ripples in Chu Xixi's heart, as if something was destined to change quietly at this night and in this place.

When she left the orphanage, Chu Xixi's heart was full of satisfaction and a hint of expectation. She had never thought that she would meet such a noble person in her career, and this person seemed to have a different attitude towards her.

"I'll send someone to pick you up at the same time tomorrow." Before Chu Xixi got in the car, Xu Yuanmo's gentle voice rang out in the night. "Our design exchange is worth continuing."

Chu Xixi looked back at him, smiled and nodded. The evening breeze outside the car accompanied by the lights of the orphanage added a touch of tenderness to the night. And the story between her and Xu Yuanmo seemed to have just begun.

After returning to the studio and tidying up a bit, Chu Xixi got into the luxury car sent by Xu Yuanmo. The atmosphere in the car was just like that of a rich person. Chu Xixi felt her heart beating fast, and she unexpectedly enjoyed the scene.

The car slowly drove into CR Group, and Chu Xixi received an invitation to Xu Yuanmo's private design exchange meeting. Here gathered the world's leading designers, each of them talented and from the top of the global trend.

The dinner was luxurious and tasteful. Chu Xixi felt the baptism of various eyes when she walked in. Some were surprised, some were curious, and some looked at her with thoughtful eyes. She tried her best to act relaxed and kept cheering herself up in her heart.

Chu Xixi recalled with amusement how she felt when she was on the road just now. She was the owner of an independent design studio and had experienced so many ups and downs, but why was she still shy like a little girl at this moment? She smiled to herself, reached out to pick up the wine glass, and drank it slowly.

"Enjoy this moment, Miss Chu," Xu Yuanmo's voice came from behind her, "Your work has shown me a unique beauty. You have proven your worth." Chu Xixi blushed, and when their eyes met, she even forgot to introduce herself.

It was not until the banquet was almost over that Chu Xixi hurriedly took out her business card and handed it to Xu Yuanmo. Xu Yuanmo couldn't help laughing at her cute and impatient look.

"Don't worry," he took the business card, leaned forward slightly, and whispered, "Our communication will not end just because the dinner is over."

She nodded, trying not to sound shy.

After the banquet, Chu Xi missed her friends and the blush on her face gradually faded. She stared into the distance and inexplicably strengthened her faith. This dinner will be a glorious moment in her life journey and a new starting point for her entrepreneurial journey.

What she didn't know was that this dinner was just a sweet trap set by Xu Yuanmo...

In the office, Chu Xixi was seriously pondering a difficult design problem with a frown on her face, as if all the external disturbances had nothing to do with her.

Suddenly, a knock on the door interrupted her thoughts, and she said softly, "Come in." The door slowly opened, and the sunlight shone into the room, accompanied by a familiar figure, the mixed-race special assistant. He respectfully apologized to Chu Xixi, told her that her new project had encountered some problems, and asked her for a solution.

Chu Xixi is used to thinking about designs in a quiet environment, but no matter what, the needs of customers always come first. She cherishes her reputation and understands how important it is to meet customer requirements in the business world.

She had a detailed communication with her special assistant, trying to understand the real needs of the client, and then began to modify the design. The breeze blew in and the sun shone on the desk, bringing a bit of warmth to her work. As time passed, her thoughts gradually became clear, and she began to outline a new plan on the drawing.

Just as she was concentrating on this and not looking up, the door made a slight noise again. The figure of the special assistant appeared at the door, holding a mobile phone in his hand, and seemed anxious. He told her that someone wanted to communicate with her in person. It was the client himself, a hero who should not be underestimated.

Chu Xixi was puzzled but nodded in agreement. She took the phone, her thoughts disrupted by the sudden interruption. A deep voice came from the other end of the phone. The client elaborated on the design they expected. The strict requirements and perfect expectations were faintly visible in the voice.

At this time, Chu Xixi felt that it was not only a challenge, but also an opportunity to prove herself. After listening carefully, she gave her professional advice and promised to submit a new design plan to meet the client's requirements. Between the lines, her professionalism and talent left a deep impression on the client.

After hanging up the phone, Chu Xixi's eyes flashed with new hope and passion. She knew that her efforts tonight would not be in vain, and she would definitely take a more exciting step on the road of design. At this moment, the mysterious client hidden behind the scenes was silently evaluating her performance.

Chu Xixi stood in front of the window of the design studio, with the bustling streets of Jincheng in front of her, but her mind had already drifted away. Tomorrow, her wedding with Huo Hangfan, a major event that she had thought would be a turning point in her life, was now full of hesitation and hesitation.

She turned around and her eyes inadvertently fell on the photo taken on the night of Hangfan's birthday. The figures of Huo Hangfan and Zhao Xueer were extremely intimate. Although it was a blurry picture in the corner, it was enough to trigger her uneasiness and suspicion.

At this moment, her phone vibrated, breaking her thoughts. It was a message from Qin Shiyu: "Xixi, hurry to the bar, there is an emergency!"

Her heart tightened, Chu Xixi hurriedly picked up her bag and rushed out of the studio.

Arriving at the agreed bar, Qin Shiyu handed her a document with a serious look. "Xixi, you have to take a look at this." The document contained the chat records between Huo Hangfan and Zhao Xueer, revealing evidence of their betrayal and lies.
