No wonder the reporters didn’t suspect them.

In the past, apart from meeting each other at night or eating together, the two of them had always acted independently. How could there be a couple like this? At first, they were still interested. But later, they felt that their relationship was too formal, as if they were just ordinary friends. When Tang Jingci had her scandals, they naturally eliminated Qiao Xiyan.

Who knew that this was the real deal?

At this moment, Ding Jingyi suddenly shouted.

“My article said long ago that this woman is fickle and doesn’t let go of any man. Look at it yourself. She even seduced her own senior brother. Does she still have any shame?

“She even eats the grass beside her nest!

“Do you still have the face to see your uncle-master?!”

Tang Jingci was annoyed. Why is this person still shouting? She was just about to push Qiao Xiyan away and argue with her when a certain someone reached out to press her shoulder and held her from behind…

He held her tightly in his arms. “Why are you rushing forward?”

“I…” Tang Jingci felt a little embarrassed that the two of them were still maintaining such an intimate posture despite there being so many reporters. Her ears felt a little hot.

But Qiao Xiyan let go of her shoulder, and his fingers slid down gently and hooked onto hers…

One finger, two fingers… gently hooked and wrapped tightly around hers.

… until all ten fingers were tightly interlocked openly in front of everyone.

“It’s not her who’s eating the grass beside the nest. It’s me.

“She’s never had another man. She’s only had one man…

“I’m the only one.

“She and I…

“… are in love.”

Qiao Xiyan admitted it openly, instantly causing an uproar in the crowd. To be honest, there were quite a lot of people who had their eyes on Qiao Xiyan.

He and Song Fengwan had always been the targets of many people’s competition. But now, this pair of cousins had each found their own insider and digested themselves.

“We’ve been in a relationship for a while. I originally planned to reveal this matter at the design exhibition. But in this situation, if I didn’t come forward, I really wouldn’t be a man.

“She said that she could settle this matter herself, so I stood behind her in peace.

“But Miss Ding, you first slandered my grandfather and then my girlfriend. Do you want to offend our entire family before you stop?

Family? Tang Jingci’s palms were warm from his heat, and her lips curled up slightly.

She looked completely different from before. Now, she looked like a little woman immersed in love.

“We have a very good relationship. I know that she’s interacted with Young Master Duan and Jiang Ershao. If there are any more rumors and slander like this next time, I’m afraid you will really be notorious for ten thousand years, Miss Ding.

“This time, I had discussed it with Young Master Duan and planned to broadcast it live to let the entire country see your embarrassing appearance.

“But she was soft-hearted and wanted to give you a way out. After all, if some videos are played, it will be a lifelong stain. But some people are already rotten to the core and can’t be saved!”

Not only was Qiao Xiyan worsening Ding Jingyi’s reputation, but he was also secretly raising Tang Jingci’s image.

One disparagement, one praise

“You two are in a relationship?” Ding Jingyi obviously didn’t believe him.

She had been following Tang Jingci for a while. The two of them rarely went out together, so they didn’t look like a couple at all.

“If she’s really pregnant, then the child…

“It will only be mine.

“Are you satisfied with this answer?”

Ding Jingyi was dumbfounded.

Since she has a real boyfriend, it’s reasonable for her to buy contraceptives. But she even found such a tricky angle to attack me. This woman…

She really wanted to shut me up and leave me no way out.

The two of them were holding hands openly on the stage, showing off their affection. Duan Linbai rubbed his nose.

Something is f*cking wrong.

Isn’t this my home stage?

He had discussed it with Tang Wangjin and specially came back early. For this, he had even sacrificed his sleep time because he wanted to slap some people’s faces and regain some ground for himself.

At this moment, he had a feeling that he was redundant.

To stay or to leave, that was really a headache.

***

But the situation on the other side was not as harmonious.

Yan Wangchuan was in charge of stopping Tang Wangjin. The two of them took the stairs and met on the third floor.

“Wangchuan, you came at the right time. That brat Xiyan…” Tang Wangjin’s fingers trembled, and he suddenly didn’t know how to describe him.

“I know he’s not a good person.”

“Yes, he’s a scumbag!” Tang Wangjin snorted coldly.

Along the way, he kept thinking about how the two of them got together. Then he remembered the scene of Qiao Xiyan inexplicably appearing at his doorstep a few months ago.

He and Qiao Wangbei were senior and junior brothers. They usually kept in contact, but they usually didn’t interact much with the younger generation. Moreover, he had always been brooding over Qiao Xiyan losing his daughter, so they interacted even less.

The Qiao family had never gone overseas to visit him. He had really been surprised when Qiao Xiyan suddenly appeared.

But he didn’t think too much about it at the time.

At this moment, when he thought of what his neighbor had said, he was regretful and anxious. He stomped his feet in anger.

Not only did he let a wolf into his house, but he also sent his daughter to the wolf’s mouth. How could he not be annoyed?

“Wangchuan, actually, Xiyan is a good child. I have to acknowledge this. People have to be objective. But it’s not kind of him to steal my daughter from under my nose. Don’t you think so?”

“Yes.”

“She’s my only daughter, and I really love her. Without any warning, they suddenly tell me that they’re in love?

“It’s hard to accept.”

“When I heard that she had an accident, I was so anxious. I was afraid that she would be bullied, so I quickly asked Linbai to come back with me. Why do you think I’m here? From the looks of it, they must have been together for a while.”

…

Yan Wangchuan had always been a man of few words, and Tang Wangjin was the one who kept talking. “Wangchuan, say something!”

“Thankfully, they didn’t inform you that she’s pregnant.”

A knife stabbed him right in the chest. Only then did Tang Wangjin understand what having his heart gouged out felt.

“You’d better shut up!”

Tang Wangjin followed Yan Wangchuan. After walking for a long time, he felt that something was amiss. They had clearly gone down to the second floor. Why hadn’t they reached the place after walking for so long?

“Wangchuan, are you sure we’re going the right way?”

Yan Wangchuan looked around. “It’s my first time here, so I’m not sure.”

At this moment, the secretary who had been following Tang Wangjin lowered his head. In fact, from the moment they went down to the second floor, Yan Wangchuan had been leading him astray. He knew very well that he had done it on purpose. He was afraid that Tang Wangjin would cause trouble at the venue, so he deliberately let Yang Wangchuan do this and didn’t remind him.

“Yan Wangchuan, you’re directionally challenged. Why are you leading the way? Don’t you know that I’m in a hurry?”

Yan Wangchuan’s expression was normal. “I already told you. Who said I’m leading the way?”

“…” Tang Wangjin was dumbfounded.

“Why do you keep following me?”

Tang Wangjin finally understood. “I treated you as my junior brother in vain. I almost forgot that brat calls you uncle now.”

He turned around and walked in the direction he thought was right.

The secretary tugged at his hair. Actually, that direction isn’t right either.

The Duan Group building was enormous. After going around in circles, when they finally reached the venue, the press conference would probably be over.

Soon, Qiao Aiyun received a message on her phone.

It was from Yan Wangchuan.

It’s settled.

Qiao Aiyun could already foresee how Tang Wangjin would flare up later. Xiyan, as your aunt, I can only help you so much.

Seeing that she couldn’t attack Tang Jingci, Ding Jingyi started shouting again, “Old Madam Qiao was someone’s concubine. Why doesn’t your Qiao family dare to admit it?!”

Qiao Aiyun was happy for Qiao Xiyan in her heart just now. At the very least, his marriage was settled. When she heard that this person started slandering her mother again, she was about to move. But she didn’t expect Song Fengwan to move even faster…

As soon as Duan Linbai got off the stage, he saw his little sister-in-law rushing out in a fury. F*ck, it’s not over yet!
