After the divorce, she disappeared overnight
Chapter 52: I am not worthy of Mr. Wu’s love, please look for someone else.
In the spacious and bright living room, the originally quiet and peaceful atmosphere was suddenly broken by several unfamiliar voices.
Bai Xi paused for a moment, and a trace of doubt rose in his heart: Is there a guest at home? Who is it?
With a heart full of questions, she slowly walked into the living room.
When I looked around, I saw my parents warmly entertaining the guests.
"Xixi, you're back! Come and sit here." Her father was the first to notice her and greeted her with a smile on his face.
Bai Xi walked to her parents, and her father took her by the hand and introduced her: "This is Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu. This is their son Wu Jie."
"Uncle, aunt, hello."
While greeting, he glanced at the man next to him with a bit of disdain in his eyes.
Her tone was humble and polite, which won the favor of the two elders, who praised her one after another: "Good, good, what a good child."
Then, the father took Bai Xi's hand, arranged for her to sit next to Wu Jie, and earnestly instructed: "Xixi, have a good chat with Xiao Jie. Young people should have a lot in common."
"Dad..." Bai Xi looked embarrassed, obviously unwilling to such an arrangement.
But after seeing her father's stern eyes and her mother's look, she had no choice but to swallow her anger and reluctantly sat down.
As soon as he sat down, Bai Xi felt an uncomfortable atmosphere.
Wu Jie looked her up and down with greedy eyes, and his undisguised desire made her feel very disgusted.
"Xixi, you look even prettier than in the photo."
Although he was extremely disgusted, Bai Xi still responded with a forced smile because of the presence of the elders: "Thank you."
Faced with Wu Jie's rude behavior, Bai Xi was filled with grievance and anger, but was unable to express it directly.
At this moment, she could only endure this torment silently and hope that the party would end as soon as possible.
"Okay, Old Wu, come with me over there and play chess. Don't disturb the children."
Father Wu responded with a smile on his face: "Oh! OK, OK."
Then he turned around and reminded his son worriedly: "Xiao Jie, don't bully Xixiha."
"Dad, what are you talking about? How could I bully her? I love her so much."
As soon as he finished speaking, several elders around him burst into laughter.
However, Bai Xi clenched his fists tightly and his face turned red.
At this moment, there were only two of them in the spacious living room.
Wu Jie raised his thick eyebrows, showing interest, and said tenderly: "Xixi, in fact, from the moment I saw you, I have already fallen deeply in love with you."
Hearing this, Bai Xi just laughed faintly: "Haha, is that so? But Mr. Wu, have you dealt with all those girls out there?" There was a hint of sarcasm and disdain in his words.
The man smiled straightly: "Xixi really cares about me so much. If you marry me, I can consider returning home and treating you wholeheartedly."
As he spoke, he tried to pull Bai Xi's hand.
Bai Xi quickly dodged and replied coldly: "No need, I am really not worthy of Mr. Wu's love, please find someone else."
After saying that, she stood up and prepared to leave.
Wu Jie did not give up and continued to pester her: "Xixi, don't reject me so quickly. I believe that one day, you will fall in love with me."
"Absolutely impossible!" Bai Xi's tone was extremely firm.
"Look, both of our parents are very happy about this, and your father likes me very much. Don't you plan to accept this marriage for them?"
The man raised his eyes slightly. His eyes, which were originally as charming as peach blossoms, now exuded a cold and dangerous aura.
Hearing this, Bai Xi frowned tightly and pursed his lips into a straight line.
She stared at the man in front of her with wide eyes and said angrily: "You threaten me!"
The man smiled gently, his tone gentle but with a hint of unquestionable: "Xixi, how can you say that?"
"I really like you. If you marry me, not only will you get all my love, but it will also bring huge benefits to your family's company. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"
"Don't even think about it!" Bai Xi was furious and turned around and left angrily.
After returning to her room, she became angrier and angrier the more she thought about it, and the anger in her heart could not be calmed down.
So she suddenly grabbed the things on the table and threw them to the ground, as if to vent all her dissatisfaction and resentment.
Fortunately, the room was well soundproofed and did not attract the attention of people outside, otherwise Bai Xi would definitely have been scolded by his father.
She sat on the edge of the bed, her body trembling slightly, tears flowing uncontrollably.
She didn't understand why fate was so unfair that she met such a father and grew up in such a family.
She couldn't get the love she wanted, so her parents forced it on her.
Perhaps from the moment she was born, she was destined to become a bargaining chip for exchange.
Her thoughts were like a fluttering butterfly, gradually flying farther and farther away...
Until a gentle knock on the door interrupted her thoughts.
"Xixi, open the door." Bai's mother's gentle voice came from outside the door.
Bai Xi suddenly came to his senses, stood up, walked to the door and opened it.
"Mom, why didn't you tell me?" Her eyes were full of anger and dissatisfaction.
"Xixi, your dad...the Wu family is also pretty good. Mom can see that the boy likes you very much." Bai's mother tried to explain.
"Mom, why do you always obey his arrangements? Haven't you had enough over the years?"
Bai Xi became excited and his voice unconsciously rose an octave.
"Okay, let's go downstairs first, have a meal together, and then we'll think of a solution." Bai's mother sighed helplessly and patted Bai Xi's shoulder.
"I don't want to go." Bai Xi turned her head away stubbornly, tears welling up in her eyes.
"You, look at the disaster you have caused this time. If it is found out, we will not be able to escape the responsibility. Now, we can only rely on your father." Bai's mother's tone was filled with anxiety and helplessness.
Bai Xi's body trembled, and after a moment of silence, he finally said slowly: "I understand, I'll go down later."
"Then hurry up, don't let others laugh at our family." Bai's mother warned.
"Yeah." Bai Xi responded softly.
Ten minutes later, Bai Xi slowly went downstairs.
"Xixi, come down. Come and sit here with your aunt." Seeing Bai Xi appear, an increasingly fond smile appeared on Wu's mother's face.
"Ok."
Bai Xi nodded politely and walked to sit next to Wu's mother.
A few people sat around on the sofa, chatting idly, and the atmosphere seemed a little awkward.
