Chapter 218
["Qin Xian!!!! You're amazing!!!!"]
Ji Fei's excited thoughts echoed in the ears of the Qin family.
However, they all missed Ji Fei's overly excited impulse.
Ji Fei was so happy that after the kiss, she immediately went to watch the commotion, not thinking about how much impact her action had on others.
Qin Xian was completely stunned, as if all the surrounding sounds had disappeared, and he could only hear his own frantic heartbeat.
The spot on his cheek, though touched by something soft, felt like a million indescribable sensations flashed through.
His eyes unconsciously brightened, then his whole being became flustered, his pupils trembling with uncertainty.
From his neck to his ears, then to his cheeks, visible redness spread, and finally, he only dared to steal shy glances at Ji Fei.
Sitting opposite, Luo Fei witnessed everything and was completely dumbfounded, even more so than when he had watched the video.
Was this really his respected brother, the head of Qin Corporation?
He looked more like some inexperienced young boy who had appeared out of nowhere!
It was just a kiss on the cheek, was such a reaction necessary? Really necessary?
If this wasn't the wrong time and place, he really wanted to tease him about it.
Naturally, such a small incident couldn't attract others' attention, as everyone was captivated by this explosive drama.
Xuan Yi was completely panicked, almost mechanically trying to defend herself.
"No, it's not like that..."
Suddenly, a scream rang out.
Everyone was startled and looked over, but to their surprise, the person screaming was the cousin who had been the most energetic earlier.
In everyone's eyes, the cousin must have been an accomplice in this defamation incident, deliberately helping her sister slander others, so why was she screaming?
Then people in the crowd started exclaiming.
It was those in the sister group.
"Xuan Yi was trying to arrange a marriage between her cousin and Luo Zhou. But Luo Zhou clearly had..."
"My God, Xuan Yi was trying to harm her own cousin."
"It's because she saw her cousin was naive and easy to manipulate. This way, even if something happened between her and Luo Zhou, the cousin probably wouldn't notice."
"Look at how the cousin has just awakened as if from a dream, reacting with such shock. She clearly didn't know her cousin had a past with the man she likes."
"Pushing aside Luo Zhou's true love interest and trying to get her cousin to take the position, her intentions are unimaginable."
After the sister group's discussions, everyone understood the key points of the drama.
No wonder the cousin looked like her world was falling apart.
Then came a loud slap, and no one was surprised. Everyone felt Xuan Yi deserved a slap today, they just didn't expect the first one to come from her own family.
Xuan Yi's cheek immediately swelled from her cousin's slap, and she looked at her cousin in shock and anger.
But her cousin glared at her like a fierce dog.
She was panicking inside and naturally didn't dare to argue with her cousin, so she could only force herself to say: "It's fake, it's all fake, this video's angle is misleading, everyone has misunderstood, I have no relationship with Second Brother, we were just classmates in the past, the ex-girlfriend I mentioned... was someone else. That necklace, I actually... actually got it just to help my cousin..."
After all, the video didn't actually confirm anything, so she could still deny it if she insisted.
Luo Zhou came to his senses and caught Xuan Yi's subtle hint, suddenly thinking, yes, as long as they deny it, Tang won't break up with him, right?
Like grabbing onto a lifeline, he was about to speak when he saw Tang turn to look at him, her eyes cold and piercing, as if mocking him for still trying to treat her like a fool.
Luo Zhou was instantly speechless.
The Luo family members also realized that although they were furious, they couldn't let this embarrassing situation continue to develop. They had to salvage what they could, at least maintain appearances. They couldn't care about private gossip now - isn't this how wealthy families operate? As long as they could maintain surface harmony.
So when the Xuan family members were helping Xuan Yi speak, they were also prepared to sacrifice their dignity and deny everything to the end.
But before they could perform their face-saving act.
They heard the cousin, frantically grabbing Xuan Yi's collar, shouting: "So, the child you secretly aborted before marriage was Luo Zhou's, right? You had his child, that's why your health has been poor and you haven't been able to get pregnant, yet you still tried to match me with him, you're disgusting, you're disgusting!"
At this moment, Xuan Yi seemed to leave her body, looking at her cousin in disbelief.
The faces of Xuan Yi's parents instantly turned pale - this was something only they as a couple knew about. They didn't understand how the cousin knew these things. Perhaps some things eventually can't stay hidden.
Luo's parents were also thunderstruck.
What? What did they just hear?
Before marriage, Xuan Yi had aborted a child? Luo Zhou's child?
Luo Zhou was also stunned, looking at Xuan Yi in disbelief, never imagining that when this woman heartlessly dumped him back then, she had been pregnant. But now his attention wasn't on the possible child, but on the fact that he felt the stain on him could never be washed clean.
He seemed to realize he might never be able to hold onto Tang again.
He could only look at Tang in panic, anxiously trying to explain something.
"I didn't know, I was the victim, I was deceived, I just had a relationship and then got dumped, Tang, Tang, don't look at me like that!"
The usually arrogant Luo Zhou was now so humble his eyes were red, tears about to fall.
At this moment, the one who could least stand firm was Luo Cheng. He almost stumbled, breathing rapidly, supported by his attending staff.
Married for three years without children, with the family pressing hard, Luo Cheng had gone for several medical checks. Never did he imagine...
Suddenly, Luo Cheng's expression changed several times, as if realizing something, his eyes bulging with rage.
Originally, knowing the two might have dated before didn't feel so nauseating.
But at this moment, not just Luo Cheng, even Luo's parents were thoroughly disgusted.
Other onlookers were also stunned.
Even though wealthy families often had oddities for the sake of benefits, someone this bold - playing with a wealthy family, deceiving two brothers - was unprecedented.
And now, such explosive information was revealed by family members. There was no need to maintain appearances anymore, it was completely impossible.
Xuan Yi was thoroughly finished.
[My goodness, I can't believe I overlooked such a huge scandal, it's terrifying, truly terrifying.]
Aliali: 6754d302bd5e46c308a67379This wasn't Ji Fei's fault - unless you specifically investigated this possibility or found strong connections while investigating other matters, the system wouldn't necessarily display it.
At this moment, Ji Fei simply absorbed all the details carefully.
[My God, Xuan Yi is really ruthless. When she was pregnant, she actually planned to make Luo Cheng take the fall - after all, they're brothers, whose child it was wouldn't matter. But Luo Cheng was too principled and wouldn't do anything before marriage, so when the timing didn't work out, she had to abort it. Ah ah ah ah ah, what have I witnessed? This is truly human nature at its worst! My worldview has been shocked!]
The Qin family hadn't expected such sinister scheming behind this scandal.
Even just watching this drama unfold was shocking, making them feel even more sympathy for Luo Cheng.
However, at this moment, Luo Cheng's expression seemed...
Everyone thought the Luo family, or at least Luo Cheng, would slap Xuan Yi, but Luo Cheng didn't. Instead, he coldly said to the Xuan family: "Please take your daughter and leave. Later, I will... have a proper discussion with her."
These words were spoken through gritted teeth. It was restraint taken to the extreme; his good breeding had saved Xuan Yi's life.
Xuan Yi was rescued from her frenzied cousin by her parents, staring blankly at the man she once relied on, "Husband... let me explain, actually, actually I..."
"Xuan Yi, that time before our marriage, when you suddenly became so passionate towards me, what were you trying to do? If you don't want me to say it now, then shut up and quietly go home." Seemingly at his limit of tolerance, Luo Cheng didn't want to hear another word from Xuan Yi.
