Chapter 937: Sudden Engagement
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Everyone could not help but look at Xia Mengyan. Could it be that Xia Mengyan had instructed Sun Chuan to poison Mrs. Gu? Everyone had seen with their own eyes that the glass of wine was extremely poisonous and had corroded the fabric of President Gu’s suit jacket. If that glass of wine had splashed onto Mrs. Gu’s face, even if she did not die, she would be completely disfigured and become ugly.
Actually, everyone knew that Sun Chuan did not know Mrs. Gu, let alone have a grudge against her. The only reason he could have poisoned her was Xia Mengyan. Now that Sun Chuan was cursing Xia Mengyan in public, she must have said something to Sun Chuan to make him poison Mrs. Gu on impulse.
Everyone looked at Xia Mengyan suspiciously. She lowered her head and clenched her fists.
Idiot! He actually exposed her! He said that he liked her and treated her as his goddess, so he was willing to sacrifice everything for her. Now, not only did he curse her in public, but he even attacked her! Not only did he not ruin Qiao Xi’s face but he even caused trouble for her. How could she ever like such a stupid man?
Sun Chuan was suppressed by everyone. He struggled crazily and roared at Xia Mengyan. Looking at his crazy appearance, Xia Mengyan curled her lips. Suddenly, tears trickled down her face as she sobbed softly. “Sun Chuan! Why are you maligning me? I know you’ve liked me for a long time, but I don’t like you. You can’t force feelings. You can’t hate me just because I rejected you. Now that your plan to poison Mrs. Gu has been exposed, you’re slandering me. How can I like you if you do this?
“Actually, I told you a long time ago that I was already engaged and couldn’t be with you. But no matter how much I refused, you continued to pester me. Now that you can’t woo me, you want to harm me?
“I also understand why you poisoned Xi Xi. You must have seen the news online and mistakenly thought that my relationship with Xi Xi wasn’t good, so you decided to poison her. You hoped to gain my favor, but your actions will only make me hate you even more!”
Looking at Xia Mengyan’s weak and tearful appearance, Sun Chuan suddenly stopped struggling. It was clearly Xia Mengyan who had cried in front of him and even asked him to look at the news online. That was why he decided to poison Qiao Xi. Now, Xia Mengyan was unwilling to admit what she had said and wanted him to bear all of this himself?
Xia Mengyan covered her face and cried. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing who was telling the truth.
Seeing the beauty cry, the gentlemen around finally could not sit still anymore. They worked together to chase Sun Chuan out and comforted her softly. “Miss Xia, it’s alright. Don’t cry anymore.”
Xia Mengyan wiped her tears and looked sad. “It’s my fault! I really didn’t know that he would poison Xi Xi. I should have known that he was vicious. I thought that everything would be over after I rejected him. Who knew that he actually…”
Seeing her cry, the men’s voices became even gentler. “Sun Chuan was rash and caused huge trouble. How can we blame you?”
‘That’s right! How can you blame me? It’s clearly Sun Chuan who’s stupid and willing to be used by others. Fortunately, Gu Zheng got rid of him. Otherwise, I’d have to personally take action against him.’
Xia Mengyan lowered her eyes and curled her lips into a sinister smile. She had finally managed to protect her reputation.
…
The person who attempted to poison Mrs. Gu had already been arrested. Only then did everyone continue with the banquet in peace. They drank and chatted. Suddenly, everyone’s phones rang. A notification appeared. It was the marriage contract between the president of Gu Corporation, Gu Zheng, and Xia Mengyan.
Qiao Xi naturally saw the marriage contract as well. Her expression was indifferent. She found a quiet corner and was eating a delicious cake without the slightest nervousness.
At this moment, the comments section was peaceful. They were all blessings from Sally’s fans to celebrate Gu Zheng finally abandoning that scheming woman at home and choosing Xia Mengyan, who had been engaged to him since they were young.
The marriage back then was decided by Lu Qingyun and Xia Yunqiu. Although the two of them had already passed away, the elders of the two families were still around. The Xia and Lu families had discussed it, and they were sure that this marriage contract belonged to Xia Mengyan. This was because Qiao Xi was not even born when they got engaged. How could Xia Yunqiu be sure that the child she gave birth to would definitely be a girl?
However, everyone had forgotten an important piece of news. Ever since Old Madam Yin and Xia Cheng divorced, Xia Yunqiu had also cut off all contact with the Xia family. Since they had no contact with each other, why would Xia Yunqiu set up an engagement with Xia Mengyan? However, as public opinion grew, everyone seemed to have already confirmed this matter. Moreover, the Lu family had also appeared to confirm it.
