Chapter 185 DRAMA & WEDDING PART 15

Wanwan clearly expressed that she didn’t care if she lied. Since she lied, she would make it look like it was the truth.

It didn’t matter to her if Xue Lin’s reputation was ruined. It wasn’t that she cared for her anyway.

As long as it doesn’t portray her as a liar, it’s fine.

She would be the good girl in everyone’s eyes and Xue Lin would be destroyed.

Xue Lin didn’t use much force but it still left a red mark on Wanwan’s face.

Some women gasped and others whispered around them. The bustling room suddenly became quiet.

Ge Chen came inside the room and asked Xue Lin, "Are you okay? You were shouting."

Before she could answer, her second aunt came and scolded her, "Xue Lin, why did you slap Wanwan? Don’t you have a heart? She is pregnant!"

Xue Lin raised an eyebrow. "You invited me and so I came. I don’t care if you all think of me as your own. Even if you treat me as a guest, do I have to teach you how to treat a guest?"

She sneered, "And, your daughter is pregnant. Does she not know that she is pregnant? If she still cares for her unborn child, why did she spread false rumors about me and my husband and try to ruin our reputation? Right now, in front of everyone, if she doesn’t apologize and confess her wrongdoings, it will be more than a slap, I swear."

Aunt Yufu was present along with some elders. They all knew Xue Lin’s temper and did their best not to go on the negative side of her. They seemed upset because of the turn of the event.

Aunt Yufu sang along, "That’s right, Wanwan. Didn’t you already meet Xiao Chen at your uncle’s house? You already knew that Xiao Chen is from a prestigious family and yet you spread false rumors. You are pregnant after six years of marriage. Shouldn’t you take care of your body more? Xue Lin is your youngest cousin. Why are you trying to harm her?"

One of Xue Lin’s sister-in-law sneered, "What else could it be? Isn’t she jealous because Xue Lin married a good lad?"

Xue Lin was the only one who had a better reputation than anyone in the family. She was only good at everything but only loved by everyone. She even got to marry a good looking guy with a good background.

Of course her cousins could get jealous of her.

Wanwan’s face distorted. She objected, "Why should I be jealous? I have a good husband and I’m having a child. It’s Xue Lin who ran away."

"She didn’t run away," Ge Chen interfered. His grey eyes were sharper than the sword and colder than the North Pole. "I proposed to her and she accepted my proposal."

Xue Lin was feeling weak after coming to this toxic place. However, her husband’s support gave her some mental strength. She held his hand and squeezed his big warm hand.

"What’s going on?" a rumbling voice asked.

It was none other than Xue Lin’s eldest uncle. He looked angry and anyone could understand it by hearing his voice.

Beside him were Xue Lin’s second uncle, brothers-in-law, cousins, and other elders.

The second aunt became nervous. She hurriedly told Xue Lin, "Xue Lin, aren’t you a good girl? Today is your fifth brother’s wedding. Why don’t you just forget it?"

Xue Lin chuckled, "Strange! The fifth brother is Wanwan’s only brother. Wanwan doesn’t care if it’s her brother’s wedding. Why should I, a distant person, care about the wedding? You are all trying to humiliate me and my husband. Even if today was some kind of glorious day, I wouldn’t let it go."

She added, "Moreover, you don’t seem to know me very well. I’m only a good girl when people treat me properly. I’ll turn into a demon if you dare to cross my path without my permission."

The second uncle didn’t want it to continue. He scolded her daughter, "Wanwan, what did I just hear? Is Xue Lin telling the truth? Why are you trying to ruin the mood? Apologize to Xue Lin right now! Afterward, go and take some rest. A pregnant woman shouldn’t move too much."

Wanwan bit her lower lip and hatefully glared at Xue Lin.

Xue Lin didn’t budge. She shrugged, "What? Are you going to confess or not? Don’t you care about your brother’s wedding at all? How selfish and heartless can you be?"

Wanwan retorted, "And you slapped me! Why don’t you apologize?"

Xue Lin frowned and announced, "If you are still going to be impudent, then be so. Afterward, if I lose my patience, I won’t care about you being pregnant or whatever since you don’t care. I will beat you into a pulp and teach you a good lesson. This isn’t the first time I will hit you anyway."

When Xue Lin was a child, she would often come here and Wanwan would try to bully her but she got bullied by Xue Lin instead.

Since childhood, Xue Lin has always stayed in her own world. But, if someone dared to piss her off, she made sure they were punished thoroughly.

Wanwan trembled in anger. She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. She cared about her prestige.

If she confessed in front of everyone, what way would people look at her? She couldn’t face them afterward. They would call her a liar behind her back and they would never trust her.

She couldn’t risk all that. She couldn’t acknowledge her mistake in front of everybody and ask for forgiveness from someone who was seven years younger than her.

She made up her mind and resolutely answered, "I did nothing wrong. I won’t apologize. If Xue Lin didn’t want to ruin her reputation, she shouldn’t have fled from home and married that swine."

Xue Lin was so angry that she couldn’t utter a single word. She felt her blood getting cold. She silently and yet murderously stared at Wanwan.

Ge Chen sensed that her hand was getting cold. He was surprised by her sudden body temperature dropping.

He calmly declared, "Since someone doesn’t want to acknowledge their mistake, we only have one option. We will sue you for defaming our honor. We will see how long one can keep their pride."

"What?!" Wanwan and second aunt both were shocked.

Others were also surprised. They didn’t think it would go that far.

The second uncle said, "We are all relatives. Xue Lin, you are like our family. We love you so much. Why don’t you drop it?"

Xue Lin responded coldly, "I love you too, uncle; but I’m not suing you. We will sue the person who hates us and is trying to harm us."

Her uncle said, "It’s your fifth brother’s wedding..."

"You mean Wanwan’s younger brother’s wedding," Xue Lin corrected him.

They wouldn’t have dragged it longer but someone came inside the room with a ghastly pale face. It was a twenty-year-old servant of the second uncle.

He stuttered, "Y-young Ma-master B-Banshan isn’t moving. I-I tried to call him but he didn’t respond. H-he sat there without moving. I-I touched him a little and h-his b-body fell on the ground. H-he is still motionless...."

He could hardly manage to explain the details. He looked too shocked and scared.

Yu Banshan is Wanwan’s husband who tried to trick Xue Lin and made her attend a matchmaking meeting with the Ge Family.
