    This was the man who was willing to spend 5 million on Jing Lu. It’s impossible that he did not have the money to help Jing Xuean. However, since their son-inw didn’t want to save him, there was nothing more that they could do.


    They were a wealthy family!


    Plus, they are in the Imperial City now. The inner structure of it, along with its connection, was not something that they could understand.


    With that, Jing Lu went to Bai Tu’s house.


    Jing Lu went with a troubling mind, but to her surprise, Bai Tu’s parents were extremely friendly to her when she brought her mother over for the first time.


    It made Cheng Shuyu feel that the other party was acting very eager for Jing Lu to be married to their family.


    The Bai family did not ask about the business that they own, and they didn’t even mention Jing Xuean, wasting all the reasons and excuses that Jing Lu and Cheng Shuyu had prepared beforehand.


    Everything was going too smoothly, which then caused Cheng Shuyu to feel suspicious while Jing Lu thought that everything was fine.


    Bai Tu wanted them to be registered first while the wedding ceremony could hold off for a few more months. This way, Jing Lu would be able to live in their house immediately.


    Jing Lu immediately agreed, but Cheng Shuyu told her to hold it. She told her about how her sixth sense was telling her that something wasn’t right and that they should investigate it before moving further.


    Jing Lu was convinced and decided to listen to her mother. She decided to ignore Bai Tu for a few days.


    However, Bai Tu did not call her as well. In the end, Jing Lu couldn’t hold it anymore and decided to meet Bai Tu.


    When she got to the house, the Bai parents were extremely nice towards her and even invited her into their house, but Bai Tu was not home. His mother immediately called for him toe home. As soon as he arrived, there was a woman who rushed into the house after him.


    This woman was a young miss from a rich family in the Imperial City. When she saw Jing Lu, she was furious and she told her driver to beat up Jing Lu.


    During the fight, Jing Lu found out that this woman, called Miss Zhang, had always liked Bai Tu. She always disturbed Bai Tu and was in love with him. However, Bai Tu was in love with Jing Lu.


    For the past few days, Bai Tu was stuck with her, and Miss Zhang had stopped him from looking for Jing Lu. Today, after receiving the call from his mother, Miss Zhang decided to follow Bai Tu, giving her a chance to beat up Jing Lu.


    Although Miss Zhang wasn’t as pretty as Jing Lu, she came from a better family, and she was using this as the reason for Bai Tu to marry her.


    Jing Lu then noticed that the Bai parents were in a difficult spot as well. They seemed to prefer Miss Zhang over her.


    Therefore, at that moment, Jing Lu panicked and even regretted not being married to Bai Tu the moment he told her to.


    Seeing how Miss Zhang was now on the same side as the Bai parents and they were even convincing Bai Tu to do so, Jing Lu felt like her life was about to end.


    In the end, the Bai parents told them that they had to think about it and told Miss Zhang and her to return home.


    As soon as she got home, Jing Lu cried her eyes out and med everything on Cheng Shuyu. If it wasn’t because of her, they would have already been married 2 days ago.


    Cheng Shuyu was shocked as well. She had just gotten a private investigator. The other party had just told her that they needed a few more days, but in the end, the only reason why Bai Tu was in such a hurry was only because Miss Zhang was bothering him.


    Therefore, Cheng Shuyu quickly fired the investigator. If they continued the investigation, she would have to pay more money after that.


    The other party agreed as well since they could keep the deposit.


    With all these, Jing Lu had finally fallen into the marriage that Di Jingxuan had arranged for her, and there was no way to back out.


    Jing Lu quickly called Bai Tu when she got home, but he was not answering her call.
