When the marriage partner is my mortal enemy, I am scared

At this time, in the west courtyard of Lanyuan, Xiao Zhengqing was walking around in the living room, pacing back and forth anxiously.

Seeing Xiao Yue walking into the living room, the anxiety on his face turned into anger.

With doubt in his eyes, he said coldly, "Why are you back?"

Xiao Yue had just been humiliated in front of Xiao Cheng, and was now a little angry, so he told the truth about what had just happened.

"He, really said that?" The muscles on Xiao Zhengqing's face trembled, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

Could it be that this kid has been playing the pig to eat the tiger game all these years?

"I don't care what method you use, you must capture him for me.

When the matter is settled, for the sake of the Xiao family's reputation, I don't believe that the old man will not agree."

Xiao Zhengqing looked at his adopted daughter, and the fierceness in his eyes instantly turned into kindness.

He continued, "My dear daughter, I can't count on your elder brother anymore. Dad is counting on you. As long as you succeed, you will be the second young lady of our Xiao family."

"Dad, I don't understand. Wouldn't it be more helpful to you if you could take down Xiao Su? Why do you have to fight that second brother to the death?"

"Xiao Su? Just you? He is the heir of the Xiao family. Even if you are pregnant with Xiao Su's child, this old man will never let you marry him."

Although Xiao Yue felt somewhat unwilling to hear him say this, he also felt that it made sense.

But she didn't know that the reason why Xiao Zhengqing asked her to capture Xiao Cheng was because he was afraid that an old incident from more than ten years ago would be exposed.

And Xiao Cheng is the key to this matter.

His existence was like a time bomb, making Xiao Zhengqing nervous for more than ten years.

Xiao Yue has been an invisible man in the Xiao family for twenty years and has always felt inferior. Of course, he also wants to take this opportunity to become a superior person.

But when I thought about what Xiao Cheng said tonight, I felt a little unsure.

She had no idea what the man was thinking, and he did things without any rules or regulations.

"Dad, what if we can't handle him?" Xiao Yue asked tentatively.

Xiao Zhengqing glared at her fiercely. Xiao Yue's heart trembled and she immediately shut up.

The next second, Xiao Zhengqing's eyes were filled with murderous intent...

Two days later, the Xiao family held a welcoming banquet at a five-star resort hotel on the seaside.

As night falls, the swimming pool and the beach, accompanied by the cool sea breeze, appear particularly romantic in this early autumn.

The bright ceiling light in the dressing room illuminates every corner as if it were daytime.

Chu He was wearing a champagne-colored satin strapless mermaid dress and dozing off in front of the dressing table. She let the makeup artist put on makeup for her in a daze.

Chu He hasn't had a good night's sleep since the night she received the photo.

Since he couldn't ask his elder brother for help with the video issue, he could only continue to look for Acheng, but he had disappeared since that day and didn't even answer his calls.

The door creaked and was pushed open.

Mother Liang Qiu was wearing a custom-made Chinese cheongsam and standing at the door with an elegant temperament.

"Makeup artist, please clean up his clothes quickly. The guests will be arriving soon."

Although she was urging him, Liang Qiu's tone was neither anxious nor impatient, and her whole body exuded the charm of a lady from a noble family.

The makeup artist responded and quickened the pace of her hands.

As they were talking, Liang Qiu had already left, probably to accompany her husband Chu Yuanbai to a social event.

Chu He lost her sleepiness due to the noise and yawned with her hands covering her mouth.

I picked up my phone from the dressing table and saw hundreds of unread messages in my friend group.

I clicked on it out of curiosity and found that everyone was discussing the Jiang family.

"Have you heard? Jiang Group's market value evaporated by 500 million in two days!"

"Yes, yes, I invested a lot and threw it all away."

"It's obvious someone is messing with them!"

"In Wancheng, only the Xiao and Chu families have this strength. Who do you think it is?"

"Impossible! I heard rumors that it was done by an overseas investment bank! And all of the Jiang family's overseas investment projects have been acquired!"

"Is the Jiang family going bankrupt?"

"No way, a lean camel is bigger than a horse! And isn't Chu He Jiang Jinyang's girlfriend? The Chu family will help him, right?"

What? The Jiang family is going bankrupt?
