Chapter 1 Threat, Change Your Job

As City, Saint Yas Church, Bridal Suite.

"Miss, your makeup is ready!"

Hearing the makeup artist's voice, Su Xi, dressed in her wedding gown, finally let out a sigh of relief. She got off the chair barefoot and lightheartedly.

She walked up to the full-length mirror and gazed at herself in the wedding dress.

Like condensed fat, like white snow, coupled with a pure white wedding dress, it sets off the ordinary to appear elegant.

spun in a circle and tilted her head, taking a little peek.

So this is what it's like to wear a wedding dress!

The makeup artist, seeing that there were no objections, bowed out and left the dressing room.

After the door to the lounge closed, it suddenly swung open again. A figure slowly walked in.

"It's beautiful, this wedding dress suits you very well."

A crisp, clear sound echoed through the break room, momentarily startling someone who was staring into the mirror.

Looking into the mirror, Su Xi's bright eyes widened in surprise. She quickly turned to face the person who was approaching her.

Although the other party was wearing a baseball cap and a mask, even though they had been separated since childhood, they could still recognize each other at a glance.

Because, we really are too alike. We come from the same mother and have exactly the same faces.

Su Xi stomped toward He Jinxi, her anger simmering. "He Jinxi, I already put on the wedding dress for you. When are you going to give my mother back to me?"

"No rush!" He Jinxi, wearing a mask, turned gracefully, as if appraising the layout of the rest room.

"I said the deadline was one year, that when I return to my country, I would naturally repay your mother and give you back your freedom."

"Why should I trust you? I want to see my mother too."

"Su Xi, don't bargain with me, you have no right now!"

“You... you’re still as cold as ever. Watching Mom and me being kicked out of the He family, you could just ignore us. And now it's even worse! You actually kidnapped Mom and threatened me, do you even have any humanity?” Su Xi became angrier and angrier, her little face flushed red with anger: “He Jinxi, what did you do to Mom?”

He Jinxi's eyes darkened: "Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to her. After all... she's my mother too!"

"Just shut up! Do you think you deserve to be called 'Mom'?" Su Xi glared at her with disdain. Who would use their own mother to achieve their own goals?

"That's enough, Su Xi!" Being scolded repeatedly, He Jinxi was extremely displeased: "I didn't come here to play with you. I'm warning you, act well in this play, and if anything goes wrong, you'll never see your mother again for the rest of your life!"

"You dare!"

"You better not give me a chance to try! Otherwise, you'll know if I dare or not. Of course, the consequences are something you absolutely can't afford."

"Congratulations, He Jinxi, you are so despicable!" Su Xi felt like she was about to explode. How could this person be her sister? How could she be her mother's child?

He Jinyi's expression remained cold as ever. He meticulously straightened Su Xi's wedding dress, a dress that was originally meant for him. At the thought of this, a glint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

"Su Xi, listen carefully. If you ruin my plan, I'll do even more despicable things. By then, I might send your mother to another corner of the world, miles away from you, so you'll never be able to find her. Or, I'll let her rest in peace, so she doesn't have to suffer anymore..."

"No, He Jinxi, are you crazy? You can't do this!" Su Xi's face paled, and she grabbed his hand.

He was very satisfied with the reaction, a hint of pride in his eyes. He wore a smirk, but remained timid and fearful nonetheless.

"How I'll act depends on your performance. If you obediently marry into the Gu family and dedicate yourself to protecting the He clan, I promise you'll see your mother very soon. Otherwise..."

"I promise you! I promise anything, just don't hurt Mom." Su Xi bit her lip, her eyes filled with struggle and resentment, but ultimately it all turned into helplessness.

I really, really want to give the other person a slap, but I dare not. Mom is with me, no matter what, I can't risk taking Mom into danger. The consequences of that are something I can't bear.

"However, she still bravely lifted her head and said fiercely: "He Jinxi, I can agree to anything, but I also warn you, if something happens to my mother, I will personally destroy the He family and everything you have."

Actions speak louder than words!

He was taken aback, perhaps not expecting such words. He stood there for a moment, speechless.

Was the decision to change really the right one?

I started to have some doubts, but no matter what, I've already agreed, haven't I?

Knock knock knock...

Suddenly, the bell in the hall rang, signaling the start of the wedding.

As the bell chimed, Su Xi's heart beat faster, she was about to become a fraud.

"The show is about to begin, and I should be going. Su Xi, I'm handing you my share now. You better not let me down."

After saying his congratulations, He Jinxi smiled faintly and left.

For a moment, the large lounge was left with only Su Xi.
