Chapter 51 - The Fiance's Troubles

The villa under the night sky was brightly lit and bustling with people. Xia Zhuozhuo shuttled through the crowd, but she seemed to be in another world, and the hustle and bustle had nothing to do with her. Finally, when the crowd was a little sparse, she quietly slipped out, found a quiet place, took out her mobile phone, and dialed Guzi's number. "Guzi, the matter mentioned before can be started tomorrow." Her voice was calm and firm. On the other end of the phone, Guzi's voice revealed a hint of surprise: "Really? Xia Liu is really willing to give you such a big factory? The Xia family treats you well!" Xia Zhuozhuo smiled slightly and did not answer directly. The Xia family did treat her well, except for the peculiar thinking Xia Huaiwu. Especially Mrs. Xia, that delicate care made her feel the long-lost maternal love. Whenever it was late at night, Mrs. Xia would always cover her with a quilt gently, and that tenderness, like the brightest star in the night sky, illuminated her lonely heart. Gu Zai continued on the other end of the phone: "Since the Xia family is so good to you, should I help you find out who framed Xia Yunhai? I did a simple check for you at the beginning, and Xia Yunhai was indeed wronged." Xia Zhuozhuo was silent for a moment and shook her head. Although she had many doubts in her heart, she felt that it was not the right time yet. "No, don't act rashly for the time being." She whispered. The Anbu is now at the cusp of the storm, and any action may cause unnecessary trouble. Moreover, she vaguely felt that Xia Yunhai's imprisonment did not seem to be accidental, but more like the result of his active choice. This intuition made her more cautious and unwilling to easily break the existing balance. Gu Zai heard this and thought that Xia Zhuozhuo had not yet fully trusted the Xia family, so he did not say anything more. "Okay, then I will arrange it now and start the transfer tomorrow!" He responded. "Well, thank you for your hard work. Reward everyone for me tonight." Xia Zhuozhuo said gratefully. After the call ended, Xia Zhuozhuo looked up at the night sky. The morning star was twinkling in the night sky, just like her mood, bright and with a hint of imperceptible melancholy. She planned to stay outside for a while, enjoy this rare tranquility, and delay her return to avoid dealing with those tedious family affairs. However, this tranquility did not last too long. A strange breath approached quietly, and Xia Zhuozhuo frowned slightly, but did not turn around immediately, but continued to maintain the original posture, as if everything was normal. Not far away, Bai Niancheng was approaching cautiously. He was originally reluctant about this marriage. After all, who would be willing to marry a girl from the countryside? But he dared not disobey the order of the Bai family, because he was still waiting for Bai Jiyong and his wife to pay off his gambling debts. So, he could only suppress his dissatisfaction and came to the Xia family. However, when he saw Xia Zhuozhuo for the first time, all his reluctance disappeared. Surrounded by the ladies, Xia Zhuozhuo was not inferior, but as dazzling as the moon surrounded by stars. At that moment, he was deeply attracted. So, he found an excuse and quietly followed Xia Zhuozhuo. When he finally came behind Xia Zhuozhuo and was ready to give her a "surprise", he didn't expect to be greeted by a shoulder throw. He grimaced in pain and finally got up from the ground, only to find that he had been pressed against his throat by a cold dagger. ? "Xia Zhuozhuo's voice was as cold as frost, and there was a chill in his eyes. Bai Niancheng was thrown and his ribs hurt, and the dagger was pressed against his throat, and he instinctively wanted to get angry. But when he saw Xia Zhuozhuo's beautiful face in the moonlight, all his anger disappeared. He felt that she was so beautiful that everything she did made sense. So, he put on a smile: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not a bad person. I'm your fiancé, just call me Ah Cheng. " Fiancé? Xia Zhuozhu just found it funny. She did have two fiancés in name, one was from Tonglianxing and the other was Jiang Ze. Where did this Acheng come from? She frowned in disgust: "Fiancé? I didn't even know I had a fiancé named Acheng." Bai Nian held the dagger in Xia Zhuozhu's hand and tried to ease the atmosphere: "I am Bai Niancheng, the nephew of my uncle Bai Jiyong..." "Who are they?" Xia Zhuozhu asked impatiently. "My uncle is Bai Jiyong, they should have mentioned me to you, right?" Bai Niancheng asked tentatively. "Bai Jiyong?" Xia Zhuozhu's eyelids slightly raised, and her eyes were full of sarcasm, "It seems that Mrs. Bai is very efficient, and even prepared a fiancé for me." Bai Niancheng was happy when he heard it, thinking that Xia Zhuozhu had accepted this marriage. "Aunt really mentioned it to you... Can you put the knife down now? I am really your future fiancé. " Xia Zhuozhu just thought it was ridiculous and was about to call housekeeper Xia to throw the man out, but a low and magnetic voice suddenly sounded. "It seems that the competition for the position of Miss Seven's fiancé is very fierce..." The two subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice, and saw a handsome man like a god slowly walking under the moonlight. He was wearing a black suit, with a faint smile on his face, but his obsidian eyes stared at Bai Niancheng like ice. It was not someone else , it was Si Shenxing. Bai Niancheng saw who was coming and his face turned pale as paper in an instant. "Si, Si Shao..." he stuttered. Si Shenxing turned his head, and A Mai and Huo Gang behind him immediately stepped forward and escorted Bai Niancheng to kneel in front of him. Bai Niancheng's knees hit the ground heavily, making a dull sound. He gasped in pain, but did not dare to show any anger, but smiled ingratiatingly. "Master Si, what do you mean... I don't know what I did wrong?" He asked cautiously. Si Shenxing stepped forward, staring at Bai Niancheng's face, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "You didn't do anything wrong, you just... want to steal my fiancée." Xia Zhuozhuo looked at this scene with mixed feelings in her heart. She never thought that she would become the object of competition for others. She never expected that Si Shenxing would appear at this time to help her out. Si Shenxing turned his head to look at her, his eyes full of tenderness and determination: "Zhuozhuo, don't be afraid. With me here, no one can hurt you. " Xia Zhuozhuo looked at Si Shenxing, and a warm current surged in her heart. She knew that she had finally found the shoulder to lean on. Bai Niancheng, like a stray dog, was escorted away from the scene by A Mai and Huo Gang. The night was still gentle, but Xia Zhuozhuo's state of mind had changed drastically. She understood that from now on, she would no longer be a lonely traveler, but had her own home. And all this came from the man who stood up for her under the moonlight - Si Shenxing. "Fiancée? How is this possible! "Bai Niancheng turned around abruptly, staring at Xia Zhuozhuo with sharp eyes. The seventh young lady of the Xia family who had returned from the countryside was actually Si Shenxing's fiancée? This news was like a bolt from the blue, making him unbelievable. If she was really Si Shenxing's fiancée, why would his aunt arrange his marriage with Xia Zhuozhuo? Besides, how could the Si family be interested in the declining Xia family, not to mention marrying a girl from the countryside instead of the golden branch and jade leaf Xia Liuli. "Master Si, there must be something fishy about this. Seventh young lady Xia is my Bai family's fiancée..."
