“After we’re done with this matter, both families will have a meal.” Bai Zhenkai compromised.

Shen Changqin heaved a sigh of relief, but her expression remained unchanged.

“I’m afraid Yaoyao will feel uncomfortable when she comes back and know about the engagement. After all…”

“You can’t blame Qiushui for this.” Bai Zhenkai sighed. “It’s all my fault for not taking good care of Yaoyao. There’s one more thing I want to tell you in advance. After Qiushui marries Jinchen, I want to leave all the Bai family’s assets to Yaoyao. It’s my way of compensating her for all these years.”

“I’m not with you because of your wealth or your status. Qiushui won’t fight with Yaoyao, so don’t worry.” Shen Changqin readily agreed.

The Bai family’s assets were nothing compared to the Lu family’s, so she wouldn’t care.

“Dad, don’t worry. I only want Jinchen. ” Bai Qiushui agreed.

“I’m sorry for making you suffer.” Bai Zhenkai was grateful for the mother and daughter’s understanding.

“If our family can be together, and my sister and father can put aside their past grudges, everything I do is worth it.” 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.

“Brother Chen, where are you?”

“Outside.”

Bai Qiushui was already used to these two simple words.

“My dad said that after he’s done with his work, he’ll ask both parents to meet.”

“You can discuss this with my sister.” 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 Qiushui’s eyes. However, she still agreed obediently.

She continued, “Do I need to talk to my father about the expo meeting?”

“No need!” Lu Jinchen’s tone was a little impatient. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up first.”

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 Jinchen’s 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 didn’t force Lu Jinchen, he probably wouldn’t even pick up Bai Qiushui’s 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 Zhenkai’s 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 wasn’t any worse looking than Mu Yao, and she even had the aura of the Bai family’s heiress that Mu Yao didn’t 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 Jinchen’s 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 Yao’s window was out.

After he hung up the call with Bai Qiushui, he suddenly felt frustrated.

After all these years, he didn’t care Bai Qiushui called herself his girlfriend. The Lu family was happy with their ‘relationship’, and he couldn’t find Mu Yao.

But now, Mu Yao was back.

He suddenly didn’t want to continue like anymore.

He got into the car, stepped on the gas, and left Mu Yao’s neighborhood.

As soon as he drove out of the gate of the community, he collided with a speeding motorcycle that was moving toward him.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!” The people on the motorcycle rolled down.

Lu Jinchen’s head hit the windshield, and some blood oozed out of his forehead.
