Old Madam Xia glared fiercely at Qiao Xi. Suddenly, she clutched her chest and shouted, âOuch! My heart hurts! President Gu, itâs fine if youâre unwilling to admit this marriage, but why are you slandering Mengyan for having another fiance? Arenât you forcing Mengyan to her death?
âMengyan has always treated you as her fiance since she was young, but for the sake of protecting Qiao Xi, you actually abandoned a woman who has such deep feelings for you. Can you bear to do this? If you donât like her, you can just say so. Why do you have to insult her like this?
âQiao Xi! You must have made President Gu say that. You stole Mengyanâs engagement and ruined her life. Now, youâre even going to bite back. Youâre forcing her to her death. Youâre really vicious!â
At this point, Old Madam Xiaâs breathing suddenly stopped. Her face turned red as she fell weakly. Fortunately, Xia Cheng and Xia Ji hurriedly supported her.
Xia Ji immediately said nervously, âMom! Donât scare me! Itâs all my fault for being unfilial. If I hadnât insisted that Mengyan fulfill the engagement and insisted on seeking justice for my daughter, things wouldnât have ended up like this. Now that Mengyanâs reputation is ruined and your health has collapsed⌠President Gu, we donât want anything anymore. Letâs just forget about it!â
Hearing her fatherâs words, Xia Mengyanâs tears gushed out, and her eyes were filled with anxiety. âGrandma, I was wrong. Iâve let you down! Weâll go home now. Please be fine!â
Xia Mengyan looked up with tears in her eyes and announced to everyone, âEveryone, President Gu is telling the truth. I do have a fiance. Itâs all my fault for what happened today. I shouldnât have fought for what doesnât belong to me.â
As she spoke, she looked at Qiao Xi and choked. âXi Xi, I know you hate me. If youâre dissatisfied, target me. I donât want to make things difficult for my grandmother. Sheâs old and canât take any trouble. Just take it as though I⌠Iâm begging you.â
Her voice trembled violently and was filled with sorrow. Tears fell from her cheeks, and her pitiful appearance made oneâs heart ache.
Finally, someone could not stand it anymore and said indignantly, âMrs. Gu is clearly using her power to suppress others! Looking at Miss Xiaâs sad appearance, sheâs really pitiful!â
âPreviously, Mrs. Gu mocked Old Madam Xia for being a mistress, but that was decades ago. It has nothing to do with Miss Xia. Now, she made up the story that Miss Xia already has a fiance. Miss Xia is filial and canât bear to see Old Madam Xia suffer. She can only admit to this. Mrs. Gu, youâre too much of a bully.â
Xia Mengyan lowered her head and revealed a proud smile, but she still pretended to be heartbroken when she looked up. âPresident Gu, Xi Xi, Iâm sorry. I affected the banquet and your relationship as husband and wife. I admit that I coveted the position of Mrs. Gu and I intended to ruin your marriage. I do have a fiance. This is all my fault. Iâve let everyone down!â
She lowered her eyes as tears surged out. Her face was filled with grievances and coercion. It looked like Qiao Xi was using her power to force her to confess. As a result, Xia Mengyan could only endure the humiliation and admit it.
Xia Mengyan wiped her tears as a trace of sinisterness flashed past her eyes. She wanted to see how Qiao Xi would retort.
âMiss Xia, itâs really been hard on you. You spoke your mind in front of so many people!â Qiao Xi looked at Xia Mengyan with a smile. Her casual tone instantly caused everyone to be infuriated.
Things had already come to this. What right did she have to be so arrogant?
Xia Yunlou instantly cursed. âQiao Xi! You bastard! How far have you pushed Mengyan? How can you say such things? Do you have a conscience?!â
Yin Lianxin glared at her coldly. Xia Yunlouâs heart trembled, but she still forcefully endured the fear in her heart and said, âQiao Xi has been wandering outside since she was young. Sheâs naughty and mischievous. Sheâs clearly the one who stole Mengyanâs engagement and even slandered Mengyan for having a fiance. Now, sheâs forcing Mengyan to confess to things she didnât do. At this moment, sheâs still making sarcastic remarks. Am I wrong to say that she has no conscience?
âQiao Xi! Apologize to Mengyan immediately! You really havenât changed! You stole someone elseâs engagement, yet youâre still so arrogant. Mengyanâs fiance is President Gu. Stop talking nonsense!â
As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Xi snapped her fingers, and the big screen suddenly flashed. She raised her eyebrows and asked, âAre you sure Xia Mengyan doesnât have another fiance?â
Everyone was stunned for a moment before they abruptly looked up at the big screen. When they saw the contents, their faces suddenly turned pale. Xia Chengâs expression darkened.
Impossible! How could Gu Zheng have found this evidence?
