âAfter weâre done with this matter, both families will have a meal.â Bai Zhenkai compromised.
Shen Changqin heaved a sigh of relief, but her expression remained unchanged.
âIâm afraid Yaoyao will feel uncomfortable when she comes back and know about the engagement. After allâ¦â
âYou canât blame Qiushui for this.â Bai Zhenkai sighed. âItâs all my fault for not taking good care of Yaoyao. Thereâs one more thing I want to tell you in advance. After Qiushui marries Jinchen, I want to leave all the Bai familyâs assets to Yaoyao. Itâs my way of compensating her for all these years.â
âIâm not with you because of your wealth or your status. Qiushui wonât fight with Yaoyao, so donât worry.â Shen Changqin readily agreed.
The Bai familyâs assets were nothing compared to the Lu familyâs, so she wouldnât care.
âDad, donât worry. I only want Jinchen. â Bai Qiushui agreed.
âIâm sorry for making you suffer.â Bai Zhenkai was grateful for the mother and daughterâs understanding.
âIf our family can be together, and my sister and father can put aside their past grudges, everything I do is worth it.â On the surface, Bai Qiushui acted like an obedient girl.
Her heart was already blooming with joy.
When she returned to her room, she called Lu Jinchen immediately to tell him the news.
Moreover, Bai Qiushui knew Huan Sheng Group was also interested in the Yuan Expo project. If she let her mother say a few words to her father, Lu Jinchen would definitely be very happy.
âBrother Chen, where are you?â
âOutside.â
Bai Qiushui was already used to these two simple words.
âMy dad said that after heâs done with his work, heâll ask both parents to meet.â
âYou can discuss this with my sister.â Lu Jinchen interrupted her coldly.
Bai Qiushui was stunned. It was their engagement ceremony, but he wanted her to discuss it with his sister. What was going on?
It must be because of Mu Yao.
At this thought, a crazed gaze of jealousy flashed across Bai Qiushuiâs eyes. However, she still agreed obediently.
She continued, âDo I need to talk to my father about the expo meeting?â
âNo need!â Lu Jinchenâs tone was a little impatient. âIf thereâs nothing else, Iâll hang up first.â
Before Bai Qiushui could answer, Lu Jinchen hung up the phone.
Bai Qiushui bit her lip, her knuckles turning white as she clutched her phone. She felt wronged.
All these years, she had always considered herself Lu Jinchenâs girlfriend.
Everyone was envious of her for finding such an outstanding boyfriend. Lu Jinchen was rich, handsome, and capable. Most importantly, there was no gossip about him.
However, only Bai Qiushui knew what was going on.
In the past few years, Bai Qiushui only met Lu Jinchen a few times. Lu Qing was present most of the time.
If Lu Qing didnât force Lu Jinchen, he probably wouldnât even pick up Bai Qiushuiâs phone.
But Bai Qiushui loved him.
From the first time she saw him when she was a teenager, she had fallen in love with him.
He was outstanding, and his every move carried an elegance that was out of her reach.
Bai Qiushui had never thought of dating such a person in the past.
But later, her mother took her back to the Bai family.
She had become Bai Zhenkaiâs daughter and finally had the capital to enter the Lu family. In order to get in touch with the Lu family, she used all means to please Lu Qing.
Bai Qiushui knew she wasnât any worse looking than Mu Yao, and she even had the aura of the Bai familyâs heiress that Mu Yao didnât have. However, Lu Jinchen never had her in his eyes.
Her mother had taught her to work hard to get what she wanted since she was young. She would do anything to reach her goal.
She had succeeded in causing Mu Yao to leave her marriage with nothing and disappear without a trace.
Lu Jinchen was single again.
Bai Qiushui became the only woman who stood by Lu Jinchenâs side.
But even so, Lu Jinchen still refused to look at her.
In order to attract his attention, she even started to learn how Mu Yao dressed and groomed herself.
Finally, she became the future daughter-in-law of the Lu family. Even Lu Qing was urging them to get engaged.
But who would have thought that Mu Yao, who had disappeared for four years, would return at this time?
Four years ago, she made Mu Yao leave.
Four years later, she could still make Mu Yao disappear without a trace.
On the other side, Lu Jinchen was still standing under the old pagoda tree.
The light at Mu Yaoâs window was out.
After he hung up the call with Bai Qiushui, he suddenly felt frustrated.
After all these years, he didnât care Bai Qiushui called herself his girlfriend. The Lu family was happy with their ârelationshipâ, and he couldnât find Mu Yao.
But now, Mu Yao was back.
He suddenly didnât want to continue like anymore.
He got into the car, stepped on the gas, and left Mu Yaoâs neighborhood.
As soon as he drove out of the gate of the community, he collided with a speeding motorcycle that was moving toward him.
âBang! Bang! Bang!â The people on the motorcycle rolled down.
Lu Jinchenâs head hit the windshield, and some blood oozed out of his forehead.
