To marry into the family in place of his brother? Impossible!

In the arena, Song Qingci was stunned when she heard Bai Zifeng's words, "How is that possible? This was indeed custom-made by me."

"But this was custom-made for Jin Huan, how could it possibly have your name engraved on it?"

Bai Zifeng chuckled and said, "Qingci, do I need to lie at a time like this? I'm sorry I only found out your true feelings now. I'm sorry, I should have come back sooner!"

Song Qingci glanced at Jiang Jinhuan in a panic, then said sharply, "Bai Zifeng, you didn't have someone engrave the words on the watch strap, did you?"

Just then, a hearty laugh rang out, and a middle-aged man walked over. "What's the big deal? Just take off your watch and take a look, won't you know?"

Someone recognized the newcomer and exclaimed in surprise, "Bai Weiguo, the head of the Bai family?"

"The head of the Bai family has actually come in person?"

Everyone was somewhat surprised to see who had entered.

Mr. and Mrs. Song were also astonished, their mouths agape.

"Brother Bai, why didn't you tell me you were coming?" Song's father greeted him at this moment.

Bai Weiguo waved his hand and said, "It's New Year's Eve, and I shouldn't be disturbing you, but my brat is such a worry. He's been staying in Jiangcheng ever since we returned to China. At first, I was puzzled, but now I realize he's only staying in Jiangcheng because of Qingci! Hahaha, Brother Song, we're practically in-laws now!"

Mr. Song paused slightly: "Brother Bai, isn't the use of the term 'in-laws' inappropriate?"

Bai Weiguo smiled and looked at Bai Zifeng: "Zifeng, what are you standing there for? I just heard Qingci seem to have some doubts about the origin of this watch! Why don't you let Qingci take a look for herself?"

Bai Zifeng smiled and took off his watch, flipping out the lettering: "This is the lettering on the watch strap. This kind of lettering can only be found in the original design. It has the brand's exclusive mark; it wasn't added on at the last minute!"

People stepped forward to examine it closely and exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the inscription.

At this moment, Song Qingci also sensed something was wrong. She stepped forward, snatched the watch, and examined it carefully.

When she saw the words above, she felt a little dizzy.

The watch strap was engraved with: "Bai Zifeng, my eternal love!"

"How is this possible? How is this possible?" Song Qingci stared in astonishment at the words on her watch.

Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something.

She looked up sharply at Jiang Jinhuan and murmured, "No wonder he didn't want this watch; he saw it a long time ago!"

At this moment, Jiang Jinhuan's expression was frighteningly calm.

There wasn't even a flicker of emotion in his eyes.

He was waiting, waiting for the matter to be settled, waiting for the Song family to sever ties with him.

He believed it wouldn't be long before he realized it.

Sure enough, upon witnessing this scene, Song's father and mother could no longer remain seated.

"Qingci, come here for a moment."

Suddenly, Song's mother spoke up, interrupting Song Qingci.

She walked quickly to Song Qingci's side, took her daughter's hand, and dragged her to the side hall without saying a word.

Mr. Song followed, and the door to the side hall was closed, cutting off the view and sound from the main hall.

In the side hall, Song's mother took a deep breath, looked at her daughter, and said in a low voice, "Qingci, tell me the truth, what exactly is going on between you and Bai Zifeng?"

Song Qingci immediately explained, "I have nothing to do with him, and I don't know what happened."

Song's mother sighed, "Qingci, you are now Jin Huan's legally married wife, that's a done deal."

But now Bai Zifeng is saying in front of so many people that he wants to stay by your side. What are you really thinking?

Song's father's voice was deep, with a hint of anger, "And that watch, tell me what happened to it."

A ten-million-dollar watch, engraved with his name—if you say you have no feelings for Bai Zifeng, do you think we'd believe you? Does Jin Huan believe you?

Song Qingci suddenly looked up: "I absolutely didn't give him that watch! It's true I ordered it, but I had the shop assistant prepare it for Jin Huan! I had no idea Bai Zifeng's name was engraved on it!"

Mr. and Mrs. Song exchanged a glance, both seeing confusion in each other's eyes.

They felt their daughter wasn't lying.

"Then why would Bai Zifeng say that you gave it to him? How do you explain the words engraved on the watch strap?"

"Me?" Song Qingci asked, puzzled, unable to explain.

Her eyes seemed a little red. "Mom, I don't know, I really don't know. Nothing ever happened between Bai Zifeng and me!"

"Really? How did the rumor about the 'white moonlight' come about?"

Song Qingci was stunned again.

Seeing Song Qingci's expression, Song's mother said, "Qingci, you wouldn't really be using Jin Huan to deliberately provoke Bai Zifeng, would you? Is that marriage certificate fake too? Or are you two just having a sham marriage to deliberately read our minds?"

Song's father also looked up sharply. "Qingci, are you confused? No wonder Jin Huan has been so calm ever since he came in from Bai Zifeng. Did he already know?"

Thinking of Jiang Jinhuan's attitude, Song Qingci felt a chill run through her body.

Song Qingci's eyes were filled with panic. He said incoherently, "No, this is all a misunderstanding. I will definitely find out what really happened."

How dare they carve words on it without my permission? I'll make them pay the price!

However, neither Song's mother nor Song's father spoke at this moment.

Because they are now unsure of Song Qingci's attitude towards Jiang Jinhuan.

At this point, Song's mother said, "Now we should think about what to do about Jin Huan. He must be upset after hearing what Bai Zifeng said."

Song Qingci turned and was about to rush out: "I'll explain to him."

Mr. Song grabbed her arm. "What are you explaining? Can you even explain it now? That was a gift worth over ten million. Don't you know what that means?"

Song Qingci's face was pale, and she looked like she was about to collapse.

Yes, that was a gift worth over ten million.

If they weren't lovers, or even closer, why would anyone do this?

In this situation, Bai Zifeng's words almost drove her to the brink of despair.

She doesn't even have a chance to explain now. Even if she says a thousand times that she didn't know anything, Jiang Jinhuan probably still won't believe her!

"What should I do then?"

"Mom, Dad, please think of something, what should I do?"

……

In the hall, Bai Zifeng, holding a wine glass, slowly walked up to Jiang Jinhuan.

His gaze was filled with undisguised contempt and sarcasm, and a playful smile played on his lips.

"Assistant Jiang, no, I should call you President Jiang? I heard you're doing quite well at the Jiang Group?"

Jiang Jinhuan looked at him and said, "Mr. Bai, you flatter me. I've only been dabbling in this!"

Bai Zifeng continued, "It is indeed a small-scale affair; I don't even consider your Jiang family a threat."

Jiang Jinhuan rubbed his nose. Are all rich young masters this arrogant these days?

Bai Zifeng chuckled twice and then whispered again, "But you need to understand one thing: Qingci brought you back only to appease her family."

You should also know that, given Qingci's status and perspective, what kind of person does she truly like? And what kind of person would be worthy of Qingci's status?

You're just a poor country bumpkin; know your place!

He leaned forward slightly, lowered his voice, and spoke with a hint of condescension.

"You're just a substitute, understand? In her heart, you're not even my shadow."

She buys you clothes and ties, but that's just for show; don't take it too seriously!

After he finished speaking, he straightened up, picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and his posture was elegant and composed.

It's as if those sarcastic remarks about Jiang Jin Huan weren't actually made by him.
