Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Shi closed his eyes.
An Cui had been staying in the Gu family for quite a long time. It was impossible if he did not have feelings for her. But, he could not anger or sadden his daughter for an outsider’s sake.
So, he turned around and refused to look at An Cui.
An Cui’s heart turned cold.
If her uncle refused to care for her, the others would surely kill her!
Suddenly, she saw a pale face in front of her.
She cried and rushed toward Chen Qingyan, grabbing onto the last surviving hope.
“Lady Qingyan, my uncle has abandoned me now. You cannot leave me alone! You’re the one who has ordered me to do all of these things. You told me that I could force Young Master Nan Xian to marry me if I use this method. It’s you who has asked me to lose my innocence beforehand. Lady Qingyan, save me. I don’t want to be Nan Xian’s concubine anymore. I want to go home.”
The entire banquet hall fell into a deep silence.
What An Cui said sounded like a great thunder and it rumbled loudly in everyone’s mind. They could not recover grasp what was happening for a long moment.
Was Chen Qingyan the mastermind behind all that had happened?
Was she the one who had ordered An Cui to frame Nan Xian so that Nan Xian could be forced to marry An Cui?
How could she be that shameless? They had always thought that Chen Qingyan was a kind and gentle person.
“How dare you!” Chen Qingyan trembled. “It was you who has told me what happened later on. I took you here because I’m thinking about your reputation. Now, you want to frame me when the truth is revealed. An Cui, how could you repay my kindness with such a deed?”
Her tears ran down her face ceaselessly. She seemed to be in great pain.
Her pain of betrayal was so deep and real that no one would think that she was acting.
Mu Ling was doubtful at first. But, all he felt was guilt when he saw how miserable Chen Qingyan appeared.
How could he distrust her?
Qingyan was always gentle and kind. She could never be as cruel and evil as other women!
An Cui must be the one who had plotted everything. Now, she wanted to frame Qingyan when everything was revealed.
This kind of person was detestable!
“Get lost!”
Mu Ling kicked An Cui far away. He was enraged. “You need to be responsible for everything that you have done! Qingyan would never do such a thing!”
Chen Qingyan cried even harder when she had gained Mu Ling’s trust. “Brother Ling, thank you for believing in me. I didn’t ask An Cui to frame Nan Xian. She’s the one who has done everything to herself.”
“We’ve been together for so many years now. How would I not know about your personality? Don’t cry. I will always trust you even though I don’t believe in anyone else!”
That was right. He would always believe in her even though he chose not to trust anyone else!
Chen Qingyan lowered her eyes and put her head against Mu Ling’s chest. Her lips curled up into a smug smile.
It had always been that way all these years.
Mu Ling did not trust the old master and Mu Qingying. He did not trust Suyi and An Cui either!
He only believed in her!
Feng Ruqing grabbed Suyi’s hand tightly.
Feng Ruqing was saddened by how Suyi was being treated in the Mu family.
Mu Ling did not believe in anyone else except Chen Qingyan.
Similarly, he believed in everyone else except Suyi!
Yet, he kept claiming that he loved Suyi deeply.
That kind of love was ridiculous!
Suyi gave Feng Ruqing a smile. She seemed to be a.s.suring Feng Ruqing that she had let go of the past long ago.
What Mu Ling and Chen Qingyan did could not stir any emotions in her anymore.
She was as calm as still water.
The others were not as blind as Mu Ling. They did not have that kind of strong feelings for Chen Qingyan.
Moreover, they were not idiots.
