A year older, the third master of Beijing circle kissed her to tears

Chapter 716 It’s time to wait

Xu Jingxi ran away from home this time because she was beaten by her mother. She was covered in wounds and was not in good condition.

It's a pity for this beauty. She has a good background, a good family background, and is not inferior to others in appearance and knowledge.

The only drawback is that he lost his mother early.

She was once a favored daughter of heaven, but now she has no home to return to.

Outsiders only see her flashy identity as the first socialite, how can they understand the bitterness of her life?

Twenty-year-old Xu Jingxi was so popular that all the prominent families in Beijing were eager to invite people to the Xu family to propose marriage to her, and the door to her door was already opened.

The old man ignored everyone's opposition and promised his daughter to the third son of the banker.

At that time, Zhuang Zhoucheng had just retired from the army and taken over his mother's family business. His career was still in its infancy and he was facing setbacks everywhere. He was extremely busy and did not have much thought about marriage. He devoted himself to his career.

The marriage was decided in such a muddled way that year.

Because Zhuang Zhoucheng was busy with work and had no time for love, his marriage was delayed again and again. A few years later, the second daughter of the Xu family grew up and was deeply in love with her future brother-in-law.

Xu's mother knew about this. At that time, the third master of the Zhuang family had already achieved some success in his career, especially in the one or two years after the mall was established, which was the period when imported goods were highly favored by people in Beijing.

The mall's full name at the time was "Huaxia Capital," also meaning "the best of Country Z." It was the first major mall to bring together world-famous brands. Within a few years, it began to grow in size, and its profits far surpassed those of the family business, the Ocean Trading Company, inherited from his mother.

It was from that time that Zhuang Zhoucheng shifted his focus to the commercial retail industry, while also engaging in cross-border e-commerce. He flourished in this industry, and in just a few years, he jumped to the top of the rich list.

When it comes to business sales in the tertiary industry in Beijing, Zhuang Zhoucheng is the absolute pioneer.

The capital of China has undergone several changes and has become today's Huadu Mall, as well as the new Huadu Mall chain stores in major first- and second-tier cities.

Of course, while developing the large shopping mall, Zhuang Zhoucheng also developed a number of side businesses, most of which were investment cooperation.

It was precisely because of Mr. Zhuang Sanye's fame that Xu's mother forced her eldest daughter to break off the engagement, wanting to have her own daughter take her place.

Xu Jingxi had looked for Zhuang Zhoucheng back then, and it's possible that Zhuang Zhoucheng didn't know what was going on within the Xu family, but the marriage was between the two of them. Xu Jingxi would give up the engagement in order to fulfill her family, which only meant that her fiancé's status was not as good as her family's.

At that time, Zhuang Zhoucheng did contact Xu Jingxi about the engagement.

But Xu Jingxi said clearly that she met someone better while studying abroad and found a man who was more suitable for her. She decided to break off the engagement out of true love, not because of pressure from her family.

Zhuang Zhoucheng is a man after all. He has tried to win back his fiancée, but since she refuses to come back, he can only let her go.

I can’t say I love Xu Jingxi very much. Like everyone else, I feel that Xu Jingxi is more suitable to be his wife than anyone else.

He really needs a woman who is sensible and capable of handling things by his side.

Fate is predestined. No matter how the banker tried to save the situation, the engagement that lasted for eight years ended in failure.

The eldest daughter of the Xu family failed to marry into the Zhuang family, so the Zhuang family naturally looked down on the second daughter.

Zhuang Zhoucheng's business was growing bigger and bigger, and there was a sign that he would realize his ambition and become the best in the capital.

Five years ago, Zhuang Zhoucheng's personal wealth had reached an unpredictable level. No one knew how many hundreds of billions or trillions he had.

There are not many men like Zhuang Zhoucheng who succeeded in making a fortune without relying solely on the power of their family.

It can be seen how talented this person is in the business world.

Back to the point, six years after parting ways with Xu Jingxi, the old lover came back to him again, and he was half the one who took the initiative.

Zhuang Zhoucheng naturally showed mercy when facing Xu Jingxi.

He couldn't be as cold to Xu Jingxi as he was to Xu Jingyun. After all, he had been engaged to Miss Xu for eight years.

Zhuang Zhoucheng was well aware of Xu Jingxi's helplessness back then and her current predicament.

Li Zhu's wife was somewhat related to the Xu family and wanted to help her sisters. So, Xu Jingxi's situation was passed on to Zhuang Zhoucheng from Li Zhu.

It would have been fine if he had just ignored it, but he had to find out. Now that he knew, Zhuang Zhoucheng couldn't pretend nothing had happened.

Xu Jingxi was already 28 years old when she broke off her engagement. It can be said that she spent the best years of her youth waiting for a man, but in the end she was unable to be with this man.

Her second fiancé was introduced to her by Xu's mother. They met not long ago and she moved into his house after getting engaged.

But my fiancé is a violent person. He is normal at other times, but he becomes miserable after drinking.

Xu Jingxi was beaten by her fiancé and was hospitalized five times. She couldn't bear it anymore and returned to the Xu family where her father and mother didn't love her.

Xu Jingxi only found out in recent years that she was not Xu's mother's biological child.

After knowing the truth, I instantly understood all the grievances I had suffered over the years.

Not a biological child, do you understand?

All stepmothers in the world are the same. When their father is around, they treat their stepmothers like treasures. When their father is not around, they treat their stepmothers as worthless as a blade of grass.

The mother whom she has respected and loved for more than 30 years is not her biological mother, and the sister whom she loves and tolerates is not her sister from the same mother, so why should she give in?

Her engagement was ruined and an outsider got her for nothing.

Now it was neither her nor Xu Jingyun who married into the Zhuang family. On the contrary, this made her happy.

What she can't get, her sister can't get either.

She can let the vixen do whatever she wants. Does she really think that even the banker will listen to her arrangements?

Xu Jingxi had no other choice but to take this step to fight for herself.

Compared to the little girl, she is no longer young.

But her advantage is that they have had a past.

She possessed an elegance and grace that no little girl could match. She was considerate, gentle, and empathetic, and her temperament was unmatched by any young girl today. Furthermore, she remained beautiful.

She had met and understood Zhuang Zhoucheng's current wife. She didn't understand what he liked about that girl, perhaps because she was young.

But what can we expect her to understand when she is too young? What can she understand about men?

As she expected, there was indeed a problem in the relationship between Mr. Zhuang San and his wife. If she didn't show up now, when would she wait?

She doesn't have many years left to wait, and Xu Jingxi has always believed that Mr. Zhuang San has feelings for her.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked her out again and again to prevent the engagement from being cancelled.

Xu Jingxi was waiting for Zhuang Zhoucheng in the hotel, making herself look very bad, just waiting for the Third Master to come in.

Unexpectedly, the person who knocked on the door was Li Zu.

Xu Jingxi was disappointed. Was she too reserved in her expression?

Zhuang family compound.

After Zhuang Zhoucheng called Li Zhu, he carried the little guy's box upstairs.

However, when he turned around, he remembered that his wife was left in the car!

Zhuang Zhou Cheng suddenly felt that something was wrong!

He immediately walked downstairs quickly and walked out.

Huo Yan was playing mobile games in the car and having a lot of fun.

Zhuang Zhoucheng knocked on the car window and Huo Yan looked up at him.

Zhuang Zhoucheng made a gesture, and Huo Yan rolled down the car window, staring at him with his big round eyes and asked:

"What?"

She still looked a little naive and dull, completely unaware that she had been forgotten by the man.
