Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The moment Gu Yao's voice fell, the air fell silent.

He continued to ask, Could it be that Sister Mengqing only told you that Qiao Xi is my brother's kept woman and didn't say that Qiao Xi has already married my brother? That's why you look down on her so much and feel that even if you offend her, she's just a mistress, so my brother won't fuss about it with you.

Everyone's eyes landed on Yao Mengqing.

Yao Mengqing's heart twitched.

She was so scared that her face turned pale and her body trembled uncontrollably.

Qiao Xi did not expect that Second Young Master Gu to actually be able to ask such a question. After all, he had always treated Yao Mengqing as a friend and their relationship had always been quite good. Now, every single word he said was filled with doubt.

If Yao Mengqing admitted that she did not tell Chen Chi about their marriage and instead said that Qiao Xi was a kept woman, then she must have ulterior motives. She was deliberately trying to make things difficult for Qiao Xi with Chen Chi.

How could Yao Mengqing continue to pretend to be weak? How could she maintain her image in front of the Gu brothers?

Gu Yao's gaze was deep. Sister Mengqing, you told me before that you like Gu Zheng, but you wanted him to be happier. As long as he could get along with Qiao Xi, you'd wish him a happy life and promise not to ruin their relationship.

But what about now? You schemed in secret and spread rumors that Qiao Xi is a mistress, then instructed others to deal with her!

Yao Mengqing was shocked!

It was over! It was all over!

She felt that everyone's burning gazes were about to burn her to ashes.

I-I didn't Cousin, say something. I told you they were married a long time ago. I didn't say that Xi Xi is a mistress. Quickly prove it for me! Yao Mengqing begged.

Chen Chi broke out in a cold sweat as he clenched his fists tightly. Fear and helplessness intertwined within him.

His cousin wanted him to take the blame

If he refused to admit it and insisted on confronting Yao Mengqing, the Yao family would be doomed.

Mengqing was the lucky star of their two families. It was because of her relationship with the Gu brothers that the Yao and Chen families were able to survive till today.

Chen Chi hesitated for a moment, and he looked as if he was facing death. Yes, Mengqing said that Qiao Xi and President Gu were husband and wife. Just now I saw Weiwei being wronged and was anxious, so

Gu Yao was surprised. The truth was already out, but Chen Chi still denied it.

He looked up at Yao Mengqing and saw a smile flash past her lips.

Gu Zheng snorted. You two are indeed relatives. Yao Mengqing, what do you have to say?

Yao Mengqing forced herself to calm down. I told my cousin about your relationship with Qiao Xi a long time ago. I didn't expect him to Moreover, Xi Xi is your wife. Why would I say that about her?

She had to get Chen Chi to take the blame for this. Otherwise, Gu Zheng would completely loathe her.

Gu Zheng narrowed his eyes. Yao Mengqing, tell Yao Junjie that he can either expel Chen Chi from the Chen family or I'll make both your families disappear from Li City!

Yao Mengqing trembled. She did not expect Gu Zheng to be so heartless.

Chen Chi's face turned pale. Expel from the Chen family?

He had merely cursed Qiao Xi a few times, yet he had to pay such a huge price?

He had only wanted to stand up for Meng Qing. How did things turn out like this?

Suddenly, his pupils constricted. Could it be that Yao Mengqing had Jin Weiwei deliberately knock into Qiao Xi?

The punishment for being expelled from the Chen family was too heavy for him. Why should he be responsible for Yao Mengqing's scheme?

At the thought of this, Chen Chi quickly retorted, President Gu, I didn't-

Cousin! Yao Mengqing interrupted him with a gloomy face. Xi Xi is Ah Zheng's wife. How could you say that she's a mistress? You've disrespected her, but I know that you only said those words carelessly.

However, you've already committed the mistake, so it's only right for Ah Zheng to expel you from the Chen family. Otherwise, my brother won't let you off!

Chen Chi looked at Yao Mengqing in disbelief.

He had always been on good terms with Yao Mengqing. He did not expect that she would push him out to take the bullet in the face of a calamity.

Yao Mengqing knew very well that Gu Zheng had already suspected her, but even so, she could not admit it!

Chen Chi's lips trembled slightly before he laughed crazily.

Forget it, it was useless for him to explain anything. If he exposed Yao Mengqing in front of Gu Zheng, what would Yao Junjie do to him?
