Chapter 230
Qin Xian's brows were tightly furrowed, his mood already extremely foul.
The Qin family members thought: they couldn't laugh at a kind person for being foolish; they could only curse at those disgusting people for being ugly.
Meanwhile, due to Tang Yu's identity being exposed, Wu Xingqing was completely stunned.
She had very high moral standards and couldn't accept that her boyfriend had once been a school bully.
"Tang Yu, is what he said true?" Wu Xingqing looked at Tang Yu in shock.
Tang Yu, supported by Wu Xingqing, was both disheveled and angry from the beating, but his mind was still in a daze.
Although he had boldly come to attend the wedding, he had no intention of exposing himself in front of Luo Fei. He had merely come to watch and mock Luo Fei's clown-like wedding.
His face looked completely different from before, so even though his name was the same, he thought Luo Fei wouldn't guess who he was.
Damn it, how did Luo Fei find out?
Could Fan Shi, that worthless woman, have betrayed him? Impossible, she was too stupid for that.
Tang Yu didn't dare make any rash moves. Faced with Wu Xingqing's questioning, he knew he couldn't lie about this anymore. He could only stand up with a bitter expression and say, "Yes, what he said is true. Back then, I was young and immature. I just wanted to do things to get my family's attention, not really wanting to be a bad person."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
After speaking, he bowed to Luo Fei and said, "Coming to this wedding, I just wanted to witness whether the person I wronged in the past is happy now. If possible, I wanted to formally apologize to you all. It was all my fault back then, but I've completely reformed now. This face of mine, which had to be reconstructed after you beat me, is punishment enough. I hope you can forgive my past mistakes."
When Wu Xingqing heard Tang Yu say this, although she was still greatly shocked, she didn't immediately despise him.
After all, Wu Xingqing didn't know how bad Tang Yu had been as a school bully.
The surrounding guests who didn't know the truth saw Tang Yu's sincere performance and couldn't help but discuss among themselves.
"He came specially; he must be sincere."
"It's admirable to know one's mistakes and correct them."
"Who hasn't made mistakes when they were young? Boys always fight and cause trouble during puberty."
"A reformed prodigal son is worth more than gold."
But just then, Luo Fei, already enraged, charged forward again, swinging his fist to hit Tang Yu.
Nobody expected that even though someone had come to apologize sincerely, Luo Fei would become even more angry, and they immediately began to look unfavorably upon Luo Fei's behavior.
Others couldn't hold Luo Fei back as he threw a punch at Tang Yu. This punch was even more forceful than before, as if he wanted to beat him to death.
[Hmph, if Luo Fei didn't know everything, he might have been fooled by you, but now telling such disgusting lies in front of Luo Fei, you deserve to be beaten to death.]
Tang Yu was so frightened by Luo Fei's murderous aura that he trembled, his legs giving way as he collapsed, which actually helped him dodge the incoming punch.
As Luo Fei tried to pursue him, Fan Shi's voice appeared again.
"Luo Fei, stop hitting him." Her trembling voice came through, filled with tears.
Luo Fei suddenly stopped, turned his head, and saw Fan Shi had come downstairs, standing at the main entrance.
Her updo had come undone, and she was wearing a simple red robe, as she hadn't had time to change into the next wedding dress style, hence her current attire.
At this moment, Fan Shi was holding onto the door frame as if she couldn't stand steady, trembling so much that it seemed a slight breeze could knock her over.
Usually, if Ji Fei saw a girl in such a state, she would feel sympathy, but right now, she only felt goosebumps all over her body.
It wasn't because she thought Fan Shi was acting; it was precisely because everything she was displaying was genuine that made people extremely uncomfortable.
[Earlier she wasn't feeling well, but now she runs down here concerned about protecting her lover? Hah, I guessed wrong. Indeed, it's hard to guess what's going through a crazy woman's mind. She actually thought that since everything was exposed, Tang Yu was willing to take her away, that's why they were fighting. She ran down here planning to properly apologize to Luo Fei and then leave.]
The Qin family members who heard this looked at Fan Shi with eyes that might as well have been looking at garbage.
At this point, Luo's Mother rushed over to support Fan Shi, as she saw that Fan Shi's complexion was very poor. Although she had previously disliked Fan Shi due to her wealthy family mindset, since there was a child involved, Luo's Mother had fulfilled her duty as a mother-in-law. She stepped forward to explain and asked Fan Shi to go back and rest, telling her not to worry about what was happening here.
However, after hearing this, Fan Shi's expression changed, probably because things weren't going as she had imagined. At this moment, she could only stare blankly at the scene, unable to express her true feelings.
[Damn, Fan Shi still puts Tang Yu's choice as her first priority, with Luo Fei forever being just a backup. Meanwhile, Luo Fei thinks Fan Shi is afraid of Tang Yu revealing her secrets, so she's too scared to offend him and forces herself to come out and stop him. Fine, you're good at making assumptions. I'll say no more.]
The Qin family members also felt helpless listening to this.
Earlier, they could tell Luo Fei the truth about the illegitimate child and the affair based on the evidence Qin Xian had gathered and the conversations he had overheard. Luo Fei was willing to believe that.
But now, regarding whether Fan Shi was willing or forced, unless she admitted to her own despicable behavior, there was no way to change Luo Fei's perspective,
Which was the most troublesome part.
Even if Qin Xian suddenly went to tell Luo Fei that his pitiful girlfriend was just despicably in love with how Tang Yu treated her, and he shouldn't sympathize with her at all.
They probably wouldn't even remain friends after that.
It wasn't that Luo Fei was blinded by love or valued romance over friendship, but after so many years of friendship, almost as long as their brotherly relationship, how could Luo Fei think that way about his lover just because of one statement from Qin Xian without any evidence?
So, there was no solution.
They had been too presumptuous from the start. Now they could only wait and see how things would unfold.
Luo Fei didn't strike again, but instead crouched down and glared viciously at the pale-faced Tang Yu.
"I'm warning you, you'd better not do anything unnecessary, or I won't let you off. Get the hell out of here!"
Before Tang Yu could respond, Luo Fei had already stood up and turned to look at Luo's Father.
Although Luo's Father was somewhat angry, he felt uneasy when faced with his son's gaze.
"Dad, tell your guest to get out of here! Don't let anything happen that shouldn't happen," Luo Fei warned with implied meaning.
This immediately made Luo's Father's expression slip out of control, as Luo Fei's behavior was too unusual, clearly indicating he knew something.
It seemed Tang Yu's identity had been exposed, no wonder his son suddenly became so violent.
Although Luo's Father knew it would be exposed sooner or later, being forced to expose it caught him off guard. Fortunately, judging from his son's reaction, he didn't plan to reveal everything immediately. There was still room for preparation, as he also didn't want things to get too ugly – he had his reputation to consider.
Luo's Father coughed and could only say to Luo Fei, "It's a joyous day, whatever issues there are, we can discuss them later."
This was as good as confirmation.
Luo Fei gritted his teeth, suppressing all his anger as he turned to leave.
Tang Yu was stunned for a moment, then met his father's gaze, suddenly understanding that the truth about him being an illegitimate child had been exposed.
This made Tang Yu breathe a sigh of relief; he had almost suspected that Fan Shi had revealed their relationship.
Hmph, as long as she hadn't said anything, he still had the upper hand, and Luo Fei would still be the clown, raising another man's woman and child.
Tang Yu stood up, still feeling dizzy with the taste of blood in his mouth. He turned and met Wu Xingqing's scrutinizing gaze.
"Xingqing, I..."
Just as Wu Xingqing was about to frown, they heard Luo's Father say awkwardly, "My son was impulsive, I apologize to both of you. Why don't you follow the butler to the rest area and treat those injuries?"
Actually, Luo's Father wasn't concerned about Tang Yu; he wanted Tang Yu to leave directly to avoid provoking Luo Fei further. But seeing Wu Xingqing's reaction, he had to show some courtesy to prevent this illegitimate son from losing such a good girlfriend.
As long as he showed friendliness, it would downplay the conflict between Luo Fei and Tang Yu, preventing Wu Xingqing from thinking too seriously about the situation.
In the end, Wu Xingqing still helped Tang Yu go treat his injuries.
Faced with Wu Xingqing's coldness and her desire to go for a walk alone, Tang Yu gradually became furious, getting angrier the more he thought about it.
He felt it was all Luo Fei's fault for ruining his plan and making him lose face in front of so many guests. Those dark histories should never have come to light.
After the wound was treated, he thought viciously that he must find another opportunity for revenge.
Just then, his phone vibrated. When he took it out and looked at it, his eyes immediately filled with mockery and contempt.
Meanwhile, since Qin Xian and Ji Fei knew the truth, they followed Luo Fei to find Fan Shi. Luo Fei didn't stop them but asked them to guard the door and prevent others from approaching. He needed to have an honest conversation with Fan Shi, as these matters absolutely could not be known by others.
Qin Xian and Ji Fei could only hold back their words, though they were quite curious. Once Luo Fei laid everything out in the open, would Fan Shi still have any conscience? Would she continue to conceal and deceive?
If Fan Shi admitted everything herself, then all would be resolved smoothly.
If she still wanted to pretend to be the victim, then they would have to find another way to expose everything.
At this time, the troubled Wu Xingqing had intended to go out and inquire about Tang Yu's past, but she found a phone on the grass where they had just been. She seemed to recall that Luo Fei had dropped it earlier during the fight. She wouldn't look through other people's phones, so she tried to return it. Unable to find Luo Fei, she instead saw Luo's Mother.
