She was the legendary daughter of the Xia family, a socialite in Luo City, and a perfumer who was praised by everyone. However, it turned out that she was a vicious and scheming woman.
Back then, in order to get rid of her fiance in the Xiao family, she fabricated a lie and used public opinion to force the Xiao family into leaving their hometown. Her engagement with the Xiao family had not been canceled, but she wanted to seduce President Gu and ruin her cousinâs marriage. The Xia family still had the cheek to say that Xia Mengyan did not know?
After a moment of silence, Qiao Xi slowly said, âMiss Xia, I gave you a chance to admit your mistake, but you didnât cherish it! I had no choice but to show some evidence to everyone.â
Xia Mengyanâs face was pale, and her body was stiff. Her mind was a mess, and her vision began to blur. Her ears buzzed, and she felt like she was about to die.
Even the Xia family did not know the existence of this video. Where did Gu Zheng and Qiao Xi get these things?
âXia Cheng⦠Letâs go! Letâs go!â
Old Madam Xia was flustered, and her eyes were filled with horror. Ever since she got together with Xia Cheng, she had been suppressed by Yin Lianxin. Her family background, ability, and appearance were all inferior to Yin Lianxinâs. Her only hope was to rely on her granddaughter to make a name for herself and surpass the descendants of the Yin family. However, now that her granddaughterâs reputation was ruined, it was impossible for her to make a comeback.
Xia Cheng was so embarrassed in front of Yin Lianxin that his entire body was trembling. Faced with everyoneâs questions and disdain, he had no ability to retort.
Yin Jinglin laughed wantonly. âOh my! The Xia family doesnât even blush when they lie! If Mo Yuan hadnât released the evidence, Xi Xi wouldâve suffered!â
âMiss Xia, you said that youâve never thought of ruining Xi Xi and President Guâs marriage. Then why did your Xia family do so much behind the scenes? Did you think you could hide your filthy intentions from everyone?â
Xia Mengyanâs heart seemed to be pinched tightly by someone. The sharp pain made her almost faint. With her last bit of rationality, she could only ignore the disdainful gazes around her and the humiliation of the crowd. She gritted her teeth and retorted, âNonsense! This is all a misunderstanding. I never wanted to ruin their marriage!â
Qiao Xi glanced at her coldly, took a document from Song Shijingâs hand, and threw it in front of Xia Mengyan. âMiss Xia, you donât have to quibble. This is evidence of the Xia family hiring people to spread rumors online. The money was all transferred from your account, and thereâs also a recording. Miss Xia, do you want to hear it?â
âAh! Take it away! Take it away!â
Hearing Qiao Xiâs words, Xia Mengyan shouted at the top of her voice. She no longer looked pitiful, and her face was filled with malevolence. She suddenly pounced over and tore the documents on the floor into pieces. âThese are all fake! I didnât do it!â
âSince you didnât do it, why are you in a rush to destroy the evidence, Miss Xia?â
In everyoneâs impression, Xia Mengyan had always been gentle and kind. Now, she had suddenly become a scheming b*tch in everyoneâs hearts. She deliberately approached Gu Zheng and spread rumors to slander Qiao Xi. Everyone found it really difficult to accept.
Xia Chengâs heart ached when he saw Xia Mengyanâs terrified and helpless appearance. He roared angrily at Qiao Xi. âQiao Xi! Have you gone mad?!â
âWho exactly is the crazy one here?â Yin Lianxinâs dignified voice sounded. Her eyes were filled with coldness and disdain. She exuded the aura of a queen, and every word seemed to hit the hearts of the Xia family.
âYour Xia family deceived everyone and slandered Xi Xi. Now, youâre saying that Xi Xi has gone mad? I think youâre seriously ill! Are you angry from embarrassment now that the matter has been exposed?â Yin Lianxin mocked, making Xia Cheng so angry that his face turned red.
Yin Jinglin immediately echoed, âItâs not strange for the Xia family to do such things. Old Madam Xia was a mistress back then. Now, she even taught her granddaughter to be a mistress. Does your family have the genes to be a mistress? Do you think every man out there is a scumbag who will be seduced by a mistress?â
Xia Mengyanâs body went soft as she gritted her teeth. She was not a mistress. She and Gu Zheng were engaged. She was just taking back what belonged to her! How could she be a mistress?
She was indeed engaged to Young Master Xiao, but it had already been more than 10 years. That piece of trash from the Xiao family was not worthy of her at all. What was wrong with her pursuing a better man?! Why couldnât Qiao Xi give Gu Zheng to her? Why did she have to embarrass her in front of everyone?
