Chapter 2209: Chapter 2209: Verbal Truth (30)

Chuzheng also changed into an evening gown, appearing ready to head out with Fei Jiang.

Once the timid adopted daughter, she now exudes an elegant dignity and grandeur.

It’s as if she has become the lady of this house...

When did she change so drastically?

Fei Youping couldn’t pinpoint it; it seemed that unknowingly, she had become like this.

Chuzheng lowered her gaze over the people below, speaking lightly: "Does Ms. Fei have something to discuss?"

Fei Youping snapped back to reality, her expression hardened, questioning sharply, "What did you do to Jin Xue?"

"What could I possibly do to her?" Chuzheng countered.

"After meeting you, she agreed to the marriage with the Zhang Family. Isn’t it you who caused trouble?"

It must be her; she must have done something to Jin Xue.

Otherwise, why would Jin Xue agree to this herself?

"Maybe she figured it out." Chuzheng casually made up a response: "Ms. Fei, you shouldn’t speak wrongly and falsely accuse people."

"She only met with you today, and she was fine when she went out. It must be you; what exactly did you do to Jin Xue!"

"Do you have any evidence?"

"She met..."

"Police can’t convict just because someone was seen, right?" Chuzheng remained unflustered: "Ms. Fei, without evidence, you shouldn’t speak falsely; I can sue you for defamation."

Fei Youping: "..."

Fei Youping only knew that Chuzheng and Fei Jinxue had met.

What they talked about specifically, she didn’t know.

Fei Youping wasn’t willing to speak...

Fei Jiang didn’t interrupt the two while they spoke until Fei Youping stopped talking; only then did he lead Chuzheng downstairs.

"If my aunt has no other questions, we will be leaving now."

Fei Jiang walked to Fei Youping’s side, paused, turned his head, and his fine hair slid aside, revealing those black eyes.

Fei Youping looked into those eyes without warning, instantly shivering.

What she saw appeared to be not her nephew, but a demon.

She was held captive by the demon’s gaze.

The demon smiled faintly, a face that was very handsome, yet to Fei Youping, incredibly menacing at this moment.

She heard that person’s voice, leisurely falling: "Aunt, don’t recklessly intrude again, next time won’t be so courteous."

The hall was brightly lit, warm and radiant.

But it couldn’t dispel the chill that rose from her soles, shot up to her head, freezing the blood in her body, as if someone was gripping her throat, preventing even the sound of shouting.

Fei Youping’s body weakened, collapsing to the floor.

Her pupils were full of fear.

The man chuckled softly, took Chuzheng and swaggered away.

-

Old Master Fei had exhausted so much effort, and as a result, Fei Jinxue suddenly agreed to this marriage, one can imagine how angry the old master was.

In a fit of rage, he declared that he would no longer care about this matter and returned to his ’retirement’ residence.

Fei Youping’s persuasion was in vain, nearly driving her to hit someone.

Mo Xiangqiu was always lacking in ability, and faced with such matters, powerless.

Fei Youping inevitably felt Mo Xiangqiu was useless.

Her daughter faced such an issue, yet Mo Xiangqiu couldn’t help at all.

The two argued over it.

Fei Jinxue was already mentally collapsing and now had to face parental quarrels, her mood only worsened.

After a period of depression, Fei Jinxue felt she couldn’t just sit and wait for doom.

That fool...

Who would want a marriage alliance with a fool!

Fei Jinxue went through all her cards, counted how much money she had, and then asked Fei Youping for more money.

Fei Youping worried about Fei Jinxue and easily gave her money.

Initially, Fei Jinxue wanted to find someone to steal the items back.

But the people she found quickly vanished, and the money was gone...

Later, Fei Jinxue simply went ahead to hire a hitman.

Like before, the people she found were soon unreachable.

Fei Jinxue’s finances dried up, unable to hire anyone.

And now with the engagement date looming closer, Fei Jinxue had no time to cause more trouble.

-

Perhaps it was intentional by Fei Jiang, the engagement party ended up being grand.

The guests were all industry bigwigs.

No one understood why the Fei Family wanted to ally with the Zhang Family...

The Zhang Family and the Fei Family aren’t on the same level.

Not to mention that the marriage partner is a fool.

Not just outsiders, even the Fei Family wasn’t clear about what was really happening.

Regardless of doubts, social appearances had to be maintained.

Fei Youping and Mo Xiangqiu, as parents, naturally had to attend, and neither’s expression was good.

Those who knew understood it was a festive banquet, those who didn’t might have thought it was a funeral.

-

"Chuzheng."

Liu Jinli wore a shirt, vested with a small waistcoat, and styled her hair impressively.

Without looking closely, it was hard to tell this was a girl.

Her handsome look was captivating...

Liu Jinli: "What have you been up to lately? Whenever I look for you, they say you’re busy."

"Studying." Finals are coming! The original character is still a student dog!

"..."

Alright.

Underachievers aren’t fit to talk about this topic.

Liu Jinli leaned closer to Chuzheng: "Is Fei Jinxue really going to get engaged to that fool from the Zhang Family?"

"What’s your reason for being here today?" Haven’t figured out the theme!

"Well... I’m just curious? Someone like her, how could she agree to an engagement with a fool?"

"What if she doesn’t want to?"

"???"

Liu Jinli felt Chuzheng’s statement was off, and was about to inquire further when she saw Cui Xianyu approaching with a woman.

The woman was faintly familiar to Chuzheng, Cui Xianyu’s wife.

It was surprising that someone so young like Cui Xianyu was already married, certainly not typical...

"Miss Mo, long time no see." Cui Xianyu greeted with a smile.

The woman nodded slightly, smiling gently, polite and gracious.

Unlike the last time, where she was domineering, slapping Fei Jinxue.

"Do you have business?" Chuzheng didn’t want to deal with Cui Xianyu.

Good Person Card doesn’t like him, she just wants him gone...

Cui Xianyu whispered a few words to the woman, who smiled, lifted her skirt, and went elsewhere.

Cui Xianyu slightly lifted his chin, gesturing towards the stage: "Today’s play must have quite a contribution from Miss Mo, right?"

"Mr. Cui has made quite a contribution too."

If it weren’t for you passionately performing as the leading man, how would it all go so smoothly?

A round of applause is deserved.

"Hmm? What do I have to do with it?" Cui Xianyu shrugged, perplexed: "Miss Mo, are you mistaken?"

"If you hadn’t visited Fei Jinxue, maybe none of this would be happening today."

Cui Xianyu’s smile disappeared.

Chuzheng calmly suggested: "I hope in the future Mr. Cui will take a detour when seeing Fei Jiang."

"Miss Mo, you are joking." Cui Xianyu returned to normal: "Just a minor issue, do you think this can threaten me?"

Liu Jinli looked at Chuzheng and Cui Xianyu, confused about their conversation.

What did they mean?

She couldn’t make heads or tails of it?!
