Four Hundred and Eighty-One The Engagement Invitation Was Sent to the Bai Family

"Okay. Then on the second day of the Chinese New Year...if you come back late, I will go to the hospital and wait for you." Xia Xingchen said this and added: "You can't break your promise again, okay?"

Her voice was gentle and she didn't look angry with him.

"Absolutely not." Bai Yeqing's tone was much more serious.

She smiled, but what he didn't know was that her smile was filled with tears.

The two of them didn't talk any more, and Xia Xingchen hung up the phone. Lan Zhan looked at the time and said, "Just in time, tell me your decision. Second Young Master Yu really likes you, and you two have slept together before. If you marry him, he won't treat you badly."

Xia Xingchen felt cold in her heart and didn't have much energy to argue with him.

Just asked: "If I agree to your engagement with him, can you let my dad come out to receive the best treatment?"

"Of course. If you nod at this moment, I can make proper arrangements in the next second. The life and death of Mr. Bai all depends on your decision now. Whether you are a filial daughter or not is up to you."

Xia Xingchen took a deep breath, and after a while, as if she had made up her mind, she spoke in a heavy and sad voice: "Go and make arrangements now..."

………………………………

Xia Xingchen came out of the Lan family and sat in the driver's car, looking at the desolate winter scenery outside the window, with a thin layer of mist in her eyes.

Her fingers tightly grasped the wedding ring on her fingers, and the whole person was a little dazed.

In Zhongshan's house, the sound of firecrackers never stopped, but the atmosphere was not as lively as imagined.

After eating the reunion dinner, she looked up at the night sky that illuminated the sky as bright as day, but her heart was empty, thinking back and forth about the fireworks given to her when he proposed that night.

Her eyes were sore.

Bai Suye came out and put the cloak on her. She came back to her senses, turned around, saw her, and smiled lightly, "Thank you."

"You seem to be worried all day."

Xia Xingchen smiled bitterly. There is no way to express her pain.

Bai Suye sighed, "What happened more than 20 years ago is a historical problem. Second Uncle was indeed involved at that time.

I hope he can be completely cleared of all charges in this retrial."

She nodded slightly, "I just hope he can survive these few days."

At this point, she seemed to be unable to do anything except watch, and could only rely on others for everything. This feeling was particularly bad, and she felt particularly useless.

If she rejected Lan Zhan's request now, everything would get worse. Maybe, my father's life will be in danger tomorrow...

She sighed heavily and said, "Sister Su Ye, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, can you help me take care of Dabai, okay?"

"What about you?"

"I... I want to go to Lan's house to accompany my mother." Xia Xingchen glanced at the child who was setting off fireworks, "Ye Qing and I are not here, I'm worried that Dabai will get angry."

"Okay, I will help comfort him."

While the two were chatting, someone hurriedly ran up from the guard post at the door.

"Miss, the Yu family sent an invitation!"

Xia Xingchen paused for a moment, holding the hand of the cloak, tensed. Even her breathing was restrained.

"Invitation?" Bai Suye was suspicious for a moment, and then suddenly remembered something. She looked at Xia Xingchen and said, "Is the second young master Yu really going to get engaged? You are friends with him, have you heard him say that?"

Xia Xingchen felt a little guilty, "I... I called him, but his phone was not connected at all."

I called him when I came out of the Lan family today, but the servant answered the phone and he could not be found at all.

Xia Xingchen really wanted to ask him whether he nodded or was threatened by the Yu family like herself.

Bai Suye took the invitation sent by the other party. Xia Xingchen was even ready to accept their shock, but after she flipped through it, her expression was very calm, "I just thought it was just a random news report. I didn't receive any news about this matter before."

Xia Xingchen just smiled and said nothing.

Bai Suye sent the invitation in. The old man and the old lady looked at each other and reacted the same as her. The old man frowned and said, "I don't know why the Yu family is keeping it a secret. They are about to get engaged, but there is not even the name of the bride on the invitation. I haven't heard any rumors before."

The old lady continued, "I haven't heard of any rich girl getting married."

Xia Xingchen sat aside and listened. After making a decision in her heart, she was surprisingly calm.

Outside, there was the scream of Xia Dabai setting off firecrackers. At his age, he was still carefree. With servants to play with him, he had a lot of fun. Xia Xingchen sat inside for a while and then went out to accompany Dabai.

That night, she didn't sleep much all night and kept her eyes open until dawn.

The next morning, she received a call from the Lan family. She got up, washed up, and went over.

The Lan family was decorating the house with lights and lanterns. The red lanterns that were hung for the Spring Festival were now replaced with the word "囍", which looked particularly festive. Xia Xingchen saw a bright red, but she only felt gray.

"Congratulations, little cousin." Lan Ye came to greet her just after she got off the car.

She had never been so enthusiastic in all these days. Moreover, she was smiling today.

Xia Xingchen didn't even look at her, and walked straight in. Lan Ye didn't get angry at all.

She walked in, and there were many people in the hall. They stood straight, holding the dresses they were going to wear for the engagement party. She took a quick look, and there were five sets in total. Each set was gorgeous, inlaid with diamonds, and it was obvious that it was worth a lot of money.

She really didn't know if she should be flattered.

"Xingchen." Yun Xiang stood up. Compared with Lan Zhan and Lan Ye's attitude, Yun Xiang's attitude was obviously different. She looked uneasy. He looked at her apologetically and said, "No matter what, try on the dress. Tomorrow, there will be a lot of guests."

"As long as you think it's suitable, I'm fine with it." She refused and only asked, "I want to talk to Mr. Lan."

Lan Zhan came down from upstairs at this time, as if he saw through her thoughts, and took the initiative to say, "You can rest assured, I have arranged for someone to pick up Mr. Bai Er, and now he is on the way to Beisiyuan Hospital."

Xia Xingchen said, "I must ask the best doctor to treat him."

"Why do you have so many conditions?" Lan Ye interrupted impatiently, "Isn't it enough to guarantee that Mr. Bai Er is fine?"

Xia Xingchen just pretended not to hear her words and stared at Lan Zhan stubbornly.

Lan Zhan nodded, "Okay, if you only trust Dr. Fu, you can let Dr. Fu take over. But I advise you not to try any tricks. Your parents are in danger now, and everything depends on your thoughts."
