Chapter 944: Forced To Confess

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Old Madam Xia glared fiercely at Qiao Xi. Suddenly, she clutched her chest and shouted, “Ouch! My heart hurts! President Gu, it’s fine if you’re unwilling to admit this marriage, but why are you slandering Mengyan for having another fiance? Aren’t you forcing Mengyan to her death?

“Mengyan has always treated you as her fiance since she was young, but for the sake of protecting Qiao Xi, you actually abandoned a woman who has such deep feelings for you. Can you bear to do this? If you don’t like her, you can just say so. Why do you have to insult her like this?

“Qiao Xi! You must have made President Gu say that. You stole Mengyan’s engagement and ruined her life. Now, you’re even going to bite back. You’re forcing her to her death. You’re really vicious!”

At this point, Old Madam Xia’s breathing suddenly stopped. Her face turned red as she fell weakly. Fortunately, Xia Cheng and Xia Ji hurriedly supported her.

Xia Ji immediately said nervously, “Mom! Don’t scare me! It’s all my fault for being unfilial. If I hadn’t insisted that Mengyan fulfill the engagement and insisted on seeking justice for my daughter, things wouldn’t have ended up like this. Now that Mengyan’s reputation is ruined and your health has collapsed… President Gu, we don’t want anything anymore. Let’s just forget about it!”

Hearing her father’s words, Xia Mengyan’s tears gushed out, and her eyes were filled with anxiety. “Grandma, I was wrong. I’ve let you down! We’ll go home now. Please be fine!”

Xia Mengyan looked up with tears in her eyes and announced to everyone, “Everyone, President Gu is telling the truth. I do have a fiance. It’s all my fault for what happened today. I shouldn’t have fought for what doesn’t belong to me.”

As she spoke, she looked at Qiao Xi and choked. “Xi Xi, I know you hate me. If you’re dissatisfied, target me. I don’t want to make things difficult for my grandmother. She’s old and can’t take any trouble. Just take it as though I… I’m begging you.”

Her voice trembled violently and was filled with sorrow. Tears fell from her cheeks, and her pitiful appearance made one’s heart ache.

Finally, someone could not stand it anymore and said indignantly, “Mrs. Gu is clearly using her power to suppress others! Looking at Miss Xia’s sad appearance, she’s really pitiful!”

“Previously, Mrs. Gu mocked Old Madam Xia for being a mistress, but that was decades ago. It has nothing to do with Miss Xia. Now, she made up the story that Miss Xia already has a fiance. Miss Xia is filial and can’t bear to see Old Madam Xia suffer. She can only admit to this. Mrs. Gu, you’re too much of a bully.”

Xia Mengyan lowered her head and revealed a proud smile, but she still pretended to be heartbroken when she looked up. “President Gu, Xi Xi, I’m sorry. I affected the banquet and your relationship as husband and wife. I admit that I coveted the position of Mrs. Gu and I intended to ruin your marriage. I do have a fiance. This is all my fault. I’ve let everyone down!”

She lowered her eyes as tears surged out. Her face was filled with grievances and coercion. It looked like Qiao Xi was using her power to force her to confess. As a result, Xia Mengyan could only endure the humiliation and admit it.

Xia Mengyan wiped her tears as a trace of sinisterness flashed past her eyes. She wanted to see how Qiao Xi would retort.

“Miss Xia, it’s really been hard on you. You spoke your mind in front of so many people!” Qiao Xi looked at Xia Mengyan with a smile. Her casual tone instantly caused everyone to be infuriated.

Things had already come to this. What right did she have to be so arrogant?

Xia Yunlou instantly cursed. “Qiao Xi! You bastard! How far have you pushed Mengyan? How can you say such things? Do you have a conscience?!”

Yin Lianxin glared at her coldly. Xia Yunlou’s heart trembled, but she still forcefully endured the fear in her heart and said, “Qiao Xi has been wandering outside since she was young. She’s naughty and mischievous. She’s clearly the one who stole Mengyan’s engagement and even slandered Mengyan for having a fiance. Now, she’s forcing Mengyan to confess to things she didn’t do. At this moment, she’s still making sarcastic remarks. Am I wrong to say that she has no conscience?

“Qiao Xi! Apologize to Mengyan immediately! You really haven’t changed! You stole someone else’s engagement, yet you’re still so arrogant. Mengyan’s fiance is President Gu. Stop talking nonsense!”

As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Xi snapped her fingers, and the big screen suddenly flashed. She raised her eyebrows and asked, “Are you sure Xia Mengyan doesn’t have another fiance?”

Everyone was stunned for a moment before they abruptly looked up at the big screen. When they saw the contents, their faces suddenly turned pale. Xia Cheng’s expression darkened.

Impossible! How could Gu Zheng have found this evidence?
