Chapter 270 Official Engagement, the news came suddenly
the next morning.
Chu Xiyan, who accompanied Cheng Wei to find Si Jin, has arrived at Si Jin's villa.
When Si Jin's housekeeper saw them coming, he was immediately puzzled: "What are you doing here?"
Cheng Wei's face flushed with nervousness. Chu Xiyan's eyes swept across Cheng Wei's nervous cheeks, and then she told the truth: "It's Miss Cheng. She has something to say to Si Jin."
The housekeeper asked without any emotion: "What's the matter?"
Cheng Wei became even more nervous. Apart from carrying gifts in both hands, she did not make any extra preparations.
The main reason was that it was her first confession and Cheng Wei only thought of giving a gift but didn’t know what else to prepare.
To be honest, there is no special connection between Si Jin and I. In a sense, Si Jin doesn't know much about me.
Chu Xiyan saw that Cheng Wei was so nervous that she didn't reply to the housekeeper for a long time.
She had to help reply: "Because this is an emotional matter, it is not convenient for her to tell you directly."
The butler had worked in the Si family for many years and would not fail to understand Chu Xiyan's obvious hidden meaning.
He replied simply: "Wait a moment, I will go and ask the young master for instructions."
After saying that, the butler turned and walked into the living room of the villa.
Chu Xiyan looked at Cheng Wei at this time: "You can't just say nothing, it's you who confessed, not me."
Cheng Wei was extremely nervous: "I am just too nervous, what should I do?"
"Now that you're here, how are you going to express your feelings if you continue to be so nervous?" Chu Xiyan reminded helplessly.
Cheng Wei's palms were sweaty from nervousness: "Okay... I'll try my best."
"Try your best? Trying your best won't work at such a critical moment." Chu Xiyan said, "You have to try your best."
Two minutes later, the housekeeper came out and ordered the servants in the yard to open the door, and then said to the two people outside the door: "You can come in."
Cheng Wei walked towards the living room door with nervous steps.
Chu Xiyan seemed much calmer.
Before entering the door, she received a piece of news on her mobile phone, which was the hot news that Cheng Ye was holding a company celebration banquet today.
She didn't know why, but she felt very nervous when she saw the news.
I always feel like something bad is going to happen.
Chu Xiyan tried hard to drive away the bad thoughts that flashed through her mind. She must have been overthinking.
In the living room.
Under the guidance of the housekeeper, Cheng Wei and Chu Xiyan sat on the sofa opposite Si Jin.
Cheng Wei carefully placed the two gifts in her hands on the coffee table. She felt that her voice was small and trembling.
"Si Jin, these are my gifts to you. I hope you can accept them." Cheng Wei was so nervous that her eyelashes trembled several times and her eyes fell on the handsome man in front of her.
"Yeah." Si Jin glanced at Cheng Wei and Chu Xiyan calmly, "I know why you came."
Cheng Wei's breathing suddenly became rapid due to nervousness. "I... like you."
Hearing this confession, Si Jin didn't beat around the bush: "I'll make it short."
As Si Jin's "long story in short" fell into Cheng Wei's ears, Cheng Wei vaguely guessed her tragic ending.
Chu Xiyan was sitting next to him, her heart hanging in the air. Si Jin still liked Jiang Mian?
Si Jin remained calm: "Cheng Wei, I'm sorry, we are not suitable."
Cheng Wei's heart instantly hit the bottom, but she still asked unwillingly: "Why? Don't you even give me a chance? In fact, we haven't spent much time together in private, so we can just start as friends."
"If there is no destiny of having feelings for each other, there is no need to become friends first." Si Jin looked at Cheng Wei calmly.
Cheng Wei didn't see any love for her in Si Jin's eyes, not even a slight interest, not even the slightest interest.
She was deeply shocked. After all, she was the daughter of the Cheng family, rich, pretty and powerful. But in Si Jin's eyes, she didn't show any interest in him at all?!
Chu Xiyan was even more anxious than Cheng Wei: "Si Jin, why can't you start by being friends with her? If you get to know her better, you'll slowly develop feelings for her."
Si Jin replied coldly: "Didn't I make it very clear that I don't have any feelings for her."
Cheng Wei's eyes were red and her heart ached. Si Jin said these words without any psychological pressure at all.
So this is what it means to not care, not like, and not have any feelings.
So in the face of her confession and sadness, Si Jin could remain indifferent.
Cheng Wei was a little excited: "You still like Jiang Mian? But she already has Xiao Ye, there is no possibility for you two anymore!!"
Si Jin suddenly exerted force on the palm of his hand that was holding the teacup. The teacup instantly became unrecognizable in his palm, and the fragments slid from his palm abruptly to the ground.
His eyes were filled with gloom, "Oh, that's not necessarily true."
Cheng Wei saw that Si Jin, who had not had any mood swings since she entered the room, had obvious mood swings when she mentioned Jiang Mian. She felt very uncomfortable: "But Si Jin, not to mention that Xiao Ye is already with Jiang Mian, their relationship is stable, and it is difficult for you to take advantage of it. Just based on Jiang Mian's personality, she is so inconsistent on the outside, why did you fall in love with her?"
Hearing this, Si Jin glanced up and down at Cheng Wei's appearance and figure with interest, "Cheng Wei, before talking about Jiang Mian, look for your own problems first."
Cheng Wei's face suddenly changed, and she said with tears in her eyes: "You protect her so much, but does she know? Will she see how good you are to her?"
At this moment, Cheng Wei's jealousy was rising like crazy. Jiang Mian had taken away her younger brother Xiao Ye, and now he had taken away Si Jin, whom she loved.
Obviously Jiang Mian only has Xiao Ye in his eyes, but Si Jin still likes Jiang Mian as always.
This huge sense of gap made Cheng Wei feel particularly uncomfortable.
Cheng Wei laughed at herself, and her laughter sounded a little sad.
Si Jin looked at Cheng Wei coldly, "There's no need to cry so sadly. It's just that your confession was rejected. How long have you liked me? Is it necessary to cry like this?"
"Our relationship ends here today. Don't mention emotional matters to me anymore." Si Jin said coldly, "I'm not like Cheng Ye, who is indifferent to your entanglement."
If he gets entangled, Cheng Wei's life will be in danger.
Chu Xiyan was silent for a while. At this point, the ending was basically decided. Cheng Wei and Si Jin were totally impossible.
At the same time, she could also be sure that Jiang Mian held a very important position in Si Jin's heart.
In this way, she can try to bring Si Jin and Jiang Mian together.
Chu Xiyan was thinking about something and didn't notice Si Jin's secretive look casting over her.
Cheng Wei wanted to make a final push: "Si Jin, don't you have the slightest interest in me? Even if I work hard for you and change myself to the way you like, you still don't feel anything?"
Si Jin frowned: "Not interested, you talk too much, you can go out now."
He had previously thought about using Cheng Wei's love for him to deal with Cheng Ye, but he had already seen clearly the relationship between Cheng Ye and everyone in the Cheng family.
Cheng Ye really no longer had any so-called kinship towards Cheng Wei, so Cheng Wei was of no use to him at all. Therefore, when Cheng Wei confessed her love to him, he rejected her without hesitation.
Cheng Wei no longer had the face to face Si Jin, so she quickly stood up and ran out of the villa hall.
Chu Xiyan was thinking about something, and when she reacted, Cheng Wei had disappeared without a trace.
Si Jin looked at Chu Xiyan at this time, "Why don't you leave?"
Chu Xiyan subconsciously raised her eyes, took a deep breath, and then said straight to the point: "Si Jin, I think we can work together. You like Jiang Mian, and I like Cheng Ye. It just so happens that I can help you match you and Jiang Mian."
Hearing this, Si Jin refused coldly: "No need."
Chu Xiyan was stunned: "Why? Don't you like Jiang Mian?"
"I like it, but you can't help me." Si Jin said in a light tone.
Chu Xiyan was very unconvinced: "Who said that?!"
Si Jin chuckled and said, "Then tell me, what can you do to help me?"
Chu Xiyan choked up for a while before she spoke out awkwardly, "Shouldn't we discuss this between the two of us? It's not that easy to come up with a reasonable and effective plan."
"It's too much trouble. I don't want to discuss it." Si Jin said, "You should just take care of yourself. I have my own plans."
Chu Xiyan was stunned. Si Jin had a plan?
After five seconds of silence, Chu Xiyan stood up helplessly and said, "Okay."
Walking out of Si Jin's villa, Chu Xiyan raised her eyes and looked at the blue sky and the bright sun. The weather was obviously good, but she always felt that her mood was abnormally bad, gray and gloomy.
At this moment, the housekeeper walked up to Chu Xiyan and reminded her with ulterior motives: "Today is such an important day, why don't you go to Cheng Ye's place?"
Chu Xiyan was confused: "Butler, what do you mean?"
The housekeeper asked in confusion: "Don't you know? Do you really think today is just a celebration party for Cheng Ye's company?"
When Chu Xiyan heard this, she suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart, "Isn't it?"
"Of course not." The housekeeper shook his head. "Cheng Ye proposed to Jiang Mian. Don't you know? Are you so naive? On the surface, today's banquet is a celebration banquet for Cheng Ye's company, but in fact, Cheng Ye wants to give Jiang Mian a surprise. He proposed to Jiang Mian, and then there will be an engagement banquet with the Jiang family."
Hearing this, Chu Xiyan burst into tears: "What?! Proposal? Cheng Ye giving Jiang Mian a surprise?! Engagement party?!"
Chu Xiyan's body was shaking continuously. She looked at the indifferent housekeeper in disbelief, "But the news said it was a celebration party for Cheng Ye's company."
"If Cheng Ye didn't pretend to be decent, how could he give Jiang Mian such a big surprise?" said the housekeeper.
These words were like a sharp dagger that pierced Chu Xiyan's heart in an instant.
The butler looked at the time on his wrist and said, "It's still some time before noon. You can still make it if you rush over now."
Chu Xiyan's mind went blank, and all she could think about was Cheng Ye proposing to Jiang Mian.
It's so uncomfortable... It's really uncomfortable...
Chu Xiyan felt a sudden pain in her heart.
The housekeeper said, "Miss Cheng, if today's engagement party goes through, your name will no longer be mentioned when people discuss Cheng Ye's fiancée, because Jiang Mian has become Cheng Ye's fiancée."
When Chu Xiyan heard this, her heart sank as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. She quickly called a car and rushed to the Kyoto Hotel.
Chu Xiyan was in a bad mood along the way. She felt extremely uncomfortable when she thought that Cheng Ye had specially created the illusion of a celebration banquet to surprise Jiang Mian.
The driver, who was driving, saw Chu Xiyan with pale cheeks through the rearview mirror. He asked with concern: "Miss Chu, are you okay now?"
Chu Xiyan's forehead was covered with sweat. She waved her hand and said, "It's okay."
But the way she pursed her lips tightly revealed Chu Xiyan's discomfort at the moment.
The driver didn't say anything more and just concentrated on driving.
It takes about two hours to get from here to Kyoto Hotel if there is no traffic jam.
Chu Xiyan kept checking the news and paying attention to the passing time.
The news said that the celebration banquet officially started at 12 noon.
The current time is nine o'clock in the morning. If there is no traffic jam, we can get there around eleven o'clock.
However, things went against our wishes and there was a huge traffic jam during the 9 o'clock period.
Chu Xiyan, who was in the back seat of the car, was extremely anxious at the moment.
No! Jiang Mian hasn't won yet!!
Chu Xiyan's regret of wanting to marry Cheng Ye has not been made up yet, she cannot accept Jiang Mian and Cheng Ye's engagement!!
She has not yet married Cheng Ye and has not given birth to any children for Cheng Ye.
I haven't yet lived a happily married life with Cheng Ye.
She can't just give up like this!!
Chu Xiyan murmured to herself: "Cheng Ye, when can you come to see me?"
"I'm always here, hoping that you can look back at me soon."
The traffic was stuck in traffic for a long time. By the time Chu Xiyan arrived at Kyoto Hotel, Cheng Ye had already proposed to Jiang Mian successfully. After Song Ranqiu, Jiang's father and mother, Jiang Mian's brother Jiang Shiyan, assistant Chi Mu and other important people came on stage to say some words of blessing to Cheng Ye and Jiang Mian, the engagement banquet officially began.
Chu Xiyan looked at the busy and bustling crowd in Kyoto Hotel in confusion, and felt that her current state was extremely desolate.
As the engagement party progressed, many reporters who were waiting outside began to shoot videos of the scene and write press releases at a very fast speed.
You know, the genius boy Cheng Ye and the daughter of the top wealthy Jiang family officially got engaged today, which is such explosive news that shocked the whole capital! !
Whoever can send out the news first will be the first to grab the latest headlines in the entertainment section!!
Chu Xiyan wanted to go in, but Cheng Ye had already prepared sufficient security in advance.
One of the bodyguards stopped Chu Xiyan and asked, "Do you have an invitation?"
Chu Xiyan was stunned: "Invitation letter? I don't have it."
The bodyguard said: "You need an invitation to enter the engagement party. If you don't have an invitation, it means you are not invited by us and are not allowed to enter."
Chu Xiyan was disheartened. She stared blankly at the crowded banquet guests. There were so many people that she didn't see Cheng Ye.
When Chu's father, Chu's mother and the old man of the Chu family learned that Xiyan had come here, they all rushed over.
Looking at the Kyoto Hotel that they couldn't enter, they felt numb.
Even more numb than the Chu family are the Cheng family.
The news of Cheng Ye and Jiang Mian’s engagement came too suddenly!
Mother Cheng was lying on a hospital bed. This sudden news was told to her by Cheng Shiyan who was browsing her phone.
