CHAPTER 68: CHAPTER 69: THE BETROTHAL GIFTS ARE ALREADY PAID

Qin Mu clenched his fists tightly, feeling unwilling to accept this!

It was strange. When he had dumped her and got engaged to Su Xingqi, he felt so satisfied and proud. But as time went on, he found his gaze involuntarily following her, fantasizing about her kneeling at his feet, weeping and begging for reconciliation. If that happened, he would take care of her for the rest of his life. Even if he wouldn’t marry her, he would ensure she lived without worries.

But who would have thought, she preferred casually meeting men outside rather than bow down to him!

The indifference in her eyes stung him, and her familiarity with Ouyang Yi was even more... unforgivable!

Did she really marry Ouyang Yi? A man more handsome and wealthier than him?

He returned despondently and went to find Su Xingqi in the evening to tell her the news.

Su Xingqi was shocked: "How could Ouyang Yi be interested in her?!" Unlike Qin Mu, she had been in the modeling industry for a long time and knew well about the family background and character of international supermodel Ouyang Yi—a man too dazzling and a notorious playboy and non-marriage proponent. He often said, "Don’t abandon the whole forest for just one tree."

How could such a man suddenly and quietly marry Su Xingyu?

Su Xingqi’s face turned ugly, and she asked Qin Mu, "Did they really get married? Given Ouyang Yi’s background, even if he’s just the illegitimate son, the fourth young master of the Feiying Group, such a significant event as marriage would surely cause a sensation. Are there reports from the outside world?"

Qin Mu went to check again.

He didn’t find any news about Ouyang Yi’s marriage, even discovering that he was recently spotted flirting with a girl in a bar. It was said that Ouyang Yi told the girl he was not married, currently pursuing a woman he admired but had not yet won over.

Qin Mu went to find Su Xingqi: "It’s possible that Ouyang Yi likes Su Xingyu and used some means to alter her records, which is why the civil affairs bureau listed her as a special case."

Though this reason was somewhat far-fetched, it was the most reasonable one.

Su Xingqi thought for a moment: "Then why did my sister claim she’s already married?"

Qin Mu frowned: "Maybe to get back at me." He recalled the time they met on the street, her chatting and laughing with Ouyang Yi, yet showing indifference towards him, causing his heart to clench tightly, "I dumped her, hurt her pride, so she pretended to be married to beat us, Qiqi."

There was a trace of disdain deep in Su Xingqi’s eyes, but she spoke with concern, "My sister is really muddled, wanting someone like the infamous playboy Ouyang Yi. How could she degrade herself like this? She used to be your girlfriend, wasn’t she degrading your face too?"

"Enough, Qiqi." For some reason, Qin Mu felt more irritable.

Su Xingqi reluctantly fell silent.

She went to her mother Liu Meizhi, conveying everything she had learned: "Mom, we can’t let that vixen hook Ouyang Yi’s soul. Even if Ouyang Yi is a non-marriage proponent, what if he changes his mind for her? If she marries into an influential family like the Feiying Group, imagine how proud she’d be!"

"Don’t worry, I won’t let her marry better than you." Liu Meizhi patted her daughter’s hand, her voice full of malice.

Su Xingyu continued to go out for street photography.

On this day, the weather was fine. Ouyang Yi was not around; only the driver from the Lu Family was waiting not far away in a parking lot. She was in a very good mood, snapping photos with her camera, and inadvertently walked quite far, reaching a secluded path.

Suddenly, a strong man appeared behind her, grabbed her, and covered her mouth and nose with something.

She was utterly unprepared and fainted.

When she woke up, she was in a strange room, filled with the overwhelming smell of alcohol.

She groaned lightly, sitting up groggily from the bed, the memories before she fainted trickling back. Someone had attacked her from behind, covering her mouth and nose with a drug... Did she encounter a kidnapping? Su Xingyu thought uncertainly, looking down and noticing her clothes were still on, she felt a bit relieved.

However, as she looked around, her sense of relief quickly tightened up—

She saw a man, about thirty years old, wearing a burgundy open shirt, reeking of alcohol, with lecherous eyes staring at her, his expression lewd and nauseating.

"Miss Su, you’re finally awake." The man smiled vulgarly, "You’re even more beautiful than they said."

As he spoke, he walked forward and lifted her chin, clicking his tongue in admiration.

Su Xingyu immediately turned her head to the side, breaking free from his hand, and tried to move her body, which hadn’t fully recovered from the drugs, a bit further away, scolding, "Don’t touch me!"

"It seems you haven’t figured out the situation," the man’s gaze turned sinister, staring at this defiant prey, "Let me introduce myself. I’m the second young master of Chen’s Logistics and also your future husband. Your family has sold you to me, so you’d better behave and not anger me, or I can’t guarantee what I’ll do to you."

Family? Sold?!

Su Xingyu was shocked, then looked up sharply, "Was it my dad and Liu Meizhi? Did they send someone to kidnap me?"

"Hahaha," Mr. Chen laughed, "Isn’t it interesting? But, Miss Su, why put it so harshly? They did it for your good, finding you such a great marriage. They even sent you straight to my bed to spare your shyness. Don’t worry, I’ll treat you gently, and after tonight, you’ll be my woman."

As Mr. Chen spoke, he reached out again to touch Su Xingyu’s face.

Su Xingyu raised her hand to block his, "Don’t touch me! Chen Er, I don’t know you, nor do I want to marry you. I’m already married! This marriage is just their wishful thinking! Let me go, you can find a better wife."

The smell of alcohol on him almost made her faint, and she fought the urge to vomit.

Chen Er slapped her backhandedly, the sound of the slap crisp in the air.

"Bitch!" he cursed loudly, shaking his hand as he looked at her, "Don’t think you can escape reality by saying that! Already married? Who are you trying to fool with such a childish reason? When your parents confidently sent you to my bed, they weren’t saying this! By now, Chen’s betrothal gift has been given, and you want to back out? Not a chance!"

With her face burning from the slap, Su Xingyu covered her face, curling up tightly.

She looked at this man who was cursing her and dared not provoke him any further. In her mind, she quickly calculated how to escape, "I really am married, my family doesn’t know," she spoke softly, trying to reason with this lecher in front of her, "How much did you pay my dad for the dowry? I can repay you double, really."
