Rebirth Sweet Wife, Super Cute-Chapter 308: The Truth Behind Bai Haoxue and Ye Jinyan’s Engagement

"What???!!" Xi Wei looked at Bai Haoxue with wide eyes in surprise, "You don’t even like each other, so why are you engaged?"

"How should I put this?" Bai Haoxue paused before saying, "Ye Jinyan, he used to be called Jiang Zhan, is the son of the Jiang family.

Our family and the Jiang family are neighbors and are very good friends both in business and life.

Ye Jinyan and I, you could say, are what people call childhood friends.

From childhood to adulthood, Ye Jinyan and I have been very close, we get along very well.

However, the feelings between us are that he sees me as a sister, and I see him as a brother.

It’s not the kind of love between a man and a woman.

Besides, Ye Jinyan has a girl he likes, her name is Jiang Kelan."

"Jiang Kelan!!!" Xi Wei asked in surprise, "Is it the same Jiang Kelan who’s currently taking the entertainment industry by storm and is incredibly famous?"

Bai Haoxue nodded, "That’s her."

Jiang Kelan is indeed very popular now, a queen of traffic and topics, and she even opened her own studio and signed her own artists.

Xi Wei was even more confused, "Then since Ye Jinyan has a girl he likes, why did he still get engaged to you?"

"It’s precisely because he has a girl he likes that he needed to get engaged to me," Bai Haoxue said, "Jiang Kelan is the child of a servant of the Jiang family. She didn’t originally have the surname Jiang; it was only after the Jiang family recognized her as a goddaughter that she changed her surname.

But that was all after Ye Jinyan and I got engaged."

Bai Haoxue said, "It’s actually just a matter of matching social status.

Ye Jinyan likes Jiang Kelan, but he’s the young master, and Jiang Kelan is just the child of the Jiang family’s servant, so of course, the Jiang family wouldn’t agree to them being together.

Moreover, at that time, Dad Jiang and Mrs. Jiang seemed to have noticed something and insisted on pushing Ye Jinyan to get married quickly. Ye Jinyan had no choice but to ask for my help.

Whether it’s because I match their family’s social status or for other reasons, Dad Jiang and Mrs. Jiang like and are very satisfied with me.

At that time, I also had my own thoughts. My mom managed the Cheng Group alone, and those old guys in the Cheng Group would eventually force my mom and me into a corporate marriage.

Rather than marry someone I don’t know, it’s better to marry someone I’m familiar with.

Besides, Ye Jinyan and I had already discussed what to tell our parents.

We told our parents that we’re still young, so let’s start with an engagement first.

On the day of the engagement, it was also my eighteenth birthday.

Four years later, when I graduate from university, we can then get married."

"At that time, what I thought was, by getting engaged to Ye Jinyan, I had four years to temporarily block those in the Cheng Group who were pushing for a corporate marriage.

If after four years, I still haven’t met someone I like, then I would accept the corporate marriage."

She also didn’t want to let her mom shoulder everything alone.

In four years, even if she didn’t find someone she liked, she could make herself excellent and share some of the burdens with her mom.

"As for Ye Jinyan, those four years were the time he needed to fight for his chances with Jiang Kelan."

"I see..." Xi Wei said, "I thought you and Ye Jinyan liked each other, and Ji Hanyu was just interfering."

Bai Haoxue laughed, "If I truly liked Ye Jinyan, no matter how good Ji Hanyu was to me, I wouldn’t be moved by him.

Also, if I really liked Ye Jinyan, from the beginning, it wouldn’t have been as simple as just bothering Ji Hanyu.

If it were really like that, there would only be two outcomes—either I would kill Ji Hanyu, or I and Ji Hanyu would perish together."
