Chapter 923: Public Opinion Is A Killing Weapon

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

This was originally a beautiful love story, but after Qiao Xi s.n.a.t.c.hed Qingfeng away and secretly contacted President Gu behind the backs of the Xia family, President Gu thought that she was the daughter of the Xia family he was engaged to. After all, so many years had pa.s.sed, so her appearance had definitely changed. Moreover, the two of them had only met in a hurry, so President Gu could not be sure if she was really the girl from back then.

However, when he found out that Qiao Xi was the president of Qingfeng Entertainment, he confirmed that Qiao Xi was the person he had been looking for. Just like that, Qiao Xi married Gu Zheng and became Mrs. Gu. Gu Zheng doted on her and tolerated her, but he did not know that the person he was supposed to marry was Xia Mengyan.

The reporters all opened their mouths wide. This kind of plot that only appeared in TV shows actually happened in real life. Moreover, Xia Mengyan was an internationally renowned perfumer with many fans. Now, because of her marriage contract being s.n.a.t.c.hed, she had gained another million fans overnight.

Xia Cheng sighed, and his voice trembled slightly. “Now that things have come to this, there’s no way to change it. However, Xi Xi did something wrong, so she should apologize to Mengyan. There’s no doubt about that!

“Mengyan is the daughter of the Xia family. She’s so outstanding. She doesn’t care about marrying into a rich family or not being able to marry President Gu. She’ll meet the right person in the future.

As Xia Cheng spoke, he looked at Xia Mengyan with heartache. “Previously, some people said that Mengyan liked President Gu and wanted to break up President Gu and Xi Xi’s marriage. This is all nonsense! She’s clearly the one who was wronged, but she refused to say it. How could she have done such a thing?!”

At this moment, those watching the live-streams were in an uproar. The netizens said indignantly: [Miss Xia is so pitiful. She clearly had a beautiful marriage and could’ve been with the person she liked, but now, she can only watch helplessly as her loved one is in love with another.]

[Moreover, Miss Xia is so kind. Even though she knows that her cousin impersonated her to marry President Gu, she can’t bear to criticize her. She’s even protecting her cousin’s reputation.]

[Old Master Xia is right. Miss Xia is from a n.o.ble family. There’s no need for her to fall out with Mrs. Gu over a man. She’ll meet better men in the future, but Mrs. Gu’s conscience is tainted! She has to apologize to Miss Xia!]

Xia Mengyan looked at the comments online and revealed a proud smile. Public opinion was a sharp weapon to kill. Now, Qiao Xi had already become a fish on the chopping board that she could slaughter at will. She only needed to generously forgive Qiao Xi and make Qiao Xi apologize to her in public. From then on, Qiao Xi would never be able to raise her head again.

After that, she would seize the opportunity to constantly get close to President Gu so that he would distance himself from Qiao Xi. She would take the opportunity to rise to power. At that time, everyone would probably understand her because she would only be taking back everything that belonged to her.

At this moment, Qiao Xi was standing not far away and looking at them indifferently. Only then did everyone notice that Mrs. Gu was standing behind them.

“Mrs. Gu is here!” Someone shouted, and everyone immediately raised their heads to look for her. They immediately pinpointed Qiao Xi’s location and saw that she was wearing a long beige dress and a coat of the same color. It made her look extremely elegant. When faced with everyone’s different gazes, she was not nervous in the slightest and just raised her eyes indifferently.

When Xia Cheng saw her, he immediately walked forward. Before the reporters could follow him, he lowered his voice and threatened, “Qiao Xi, you’d better keep quiet today! Otherwise, you’ll suffer!”

“Old Master Xia, are you threatening me?” Qiao Xi grunted coldly, her eyes filled with disdain. “Do you think I’m Xia Mengyan who’s at your mercy?”

“If you ruin Mengyan’s plan, I definitely won’t let you off!” Xia Cheng’s voice was low, and his eyes were filled with ferocity and warning.

Qiao Xi lowered her eyes and replied coldly, “Old Master Xia, are you using public opinion to force me to get a divorce so that Xia Mengyan can take over my spot? You’re really scheming!”

Xia Cheng’s eyes were cold as he looked at the reporters rus.h.i.+ng over from behind. He could only remain silent.

“Old Master Xia, you’re too funny. You and Xia Mengyan are slandering me, so why can’t I retort? What kind of logic is this? Should I be treated as a pushover by you?”

Xia Cheng’s face was livid. “This marriage contract belongs to the Xia and Gu families. The entire Xia family is on Mengyan’s side. What right do you have to marry President Gu? What right do you have?!

“If Yunlou were here, she’d definitely accuse you of s.n.a.t.c.hing Mengyan’s engagement in public. At that time, you’ll lose all your dignity. We’ve already left you a way out. Don’t be ungrateful!”
