Chapter 163

In the end, she had stood upright in front of the world, using the demeanor and bearing that she had inherited from her father to make everyone who saw her see that the daughter of the Fu Family was not an idiot.

The entire room was filled with resplendent lights that reflected a blinding light that caused people's hearts to palpitate. Inside the courtyard, it was extremely quiet, and everyone stopped their movements and conversations as their gazes shuttled back and forth between Meng Shaoting and Fu Jingzhi, as well as Shen Manjun who was standing at the front of the hall.

What was going on? A blatant provocation?

No, no, no. Provoke could not be considered a provocation, so it was obvious that victory or defeat had already been decided.

During this banquet that Meng Family had highly regarded, Second Young Master had openly appeared with this woman, and abandoned her fiancee. It was clear that this woman's position in his heart had long ago far surpassed that of his fiancée.

A few sharp-eyed old men recognized the woman beside Meng Shaoting.

It seemed that back then, they had some friendship with Fu Zhengze as well, so when the Fu Family was married many years ago, they naturally participated in the process as well. It wasn't difficult for them to recognize Serenity, it was just that …

Weren't these two divorced for more than five years? Why did they suddenly combine together again?

Someone began to whisper among themselves, secretly looking at Old Master Meng and Mrs. Meng. Seeing that both of their expressions were extremely ugly, and that they still could not hide their astonishment, only then did they understand, this Lord who had always been obedient, was probably dissatisfied with his fiancee, and wanted to do such a thing.

Looking at the's wife Fu Jingzhi once, although she did not have an impression of any devastatingly beautiful woman, her bearing and exceptional temperament was something that people could not help but want to praise. Fu Family's family, which had the fragrance of books, was indeed much better than those rich three generations of rich young girls.

Even though the smile on her face was faint, it carried a kind of elegant, flowery, and watery expression. Under the bright light, she appeared to be in the arms of a noble woman under the arm of the man, and yet, there was also a natural seductive look to her. Man Jun stared blankly at her as she approached, and the wine cup in her hand tightened bit by bit.

Ever since she returned, Man Jun had discarded all of the beautiful clothes in her wardrobe and changed them into a cold one. Today, she was also wearing a white dress with her long hair tied up high, revealing a portion of her long neck.

She had planned for the worst. He would be cold towards her and distant from her, but that was fine. She could bear it. In these five years, which day wasn't like this? But no matter what, she didn't expect Shao Ting to bring Fu Jingzhi here. After all, with her and Shao Ting's relationship of five years, both families had to take care of each other's face, so at least, he shouldn't be making things too difficult for her. But now, under everyone's gazes, he actually just brought that woman in like this …

That should have been her position, but now she was openly standing with someone else.

What made Man Jun even more embarrassed was that the woman was also completely white, her skin was so white that it was dazzling, her bearing was unrivaled, and the way she casually walked over seemed to be a model of etiquette.

Man Jun saw that she did not have any extra jewellery on her body, she only had a small, fine jade bracelet on her wrist and a diamond ring on her ring finger. Other than that, there was nothing else. Man Jun quietly hid her wrist under the folds of her clothes. On her wrist, there were two platinum bracelets that were embedded, and they pricked her eyes, making her feel pain.

At this time, the two of them had already walked up to him.

The tears in Man Jun's eyes gradually flowed out, she forced herself to laugh and turn around, then spoke to Mrs. Meng in a hoarse voice, "Aunt, I'm not feeling well, I'll go rest first."

Mrs. Meng knew that she was feeling terrible inside, so he lightly patted her hands and pulled her to his side. His eyes swept towards his with a smile, "Man Jun, good child, don't be afraid.

Man Jun's face became even more awkward, but Meng Shaoting looked at her fiercely, causing her to tremble. She lowered her head, not daring to make a sound.

"Mom, Jingjing knows that you're my girlfriend today." Halfway through his words, Meng Shaoting clearly expressed the meaning of "Please be lenient on me with your words, and give me some face".

When Mrs. Meng saw that everyone in the hall was paying attention to every single movement here, although he was extremely dissatisfied, he also smiled elegantly, "Miss Fu has such a good bearing today."

Jingzhi smiled. "Mrs. Meng is still charming."

When she said that, Mrs. Meng immediately coughed heavily, and turned to leave with Man Jun's hand.

Mrs Xu was half old, yet she still retained her charm?

Was he mocking her again because she was an old woman?

Only after some smart people started to liven up the atmosphere did this somewhat awkward atmosphere slowly dissipate.

Even though he was sick, his prestige still remained. A pair of sharp and astute eyes swept across Jingwen, and with a sneer, he turned around. "Shao Ting, follow me over."

Knowing that he wanted to pull his hand away, Meng Shaoting held it even tighter: "Let's go."

"Don't worry, with so many people here, I won't refuse to give you face and will not embarrass Miss Fu. As your dad, I am a bit private. If she wanted to tell her son, she believed that the Miss Fu would succeed. A beauty. "

Jingzhi nodded. "Of course, Mr. Meng can do as you please."

After she finished speaking, she took her hand out and smiled gently to Meng Shaoting: "You go ahead, I'll go sit over there too. My feet are hurting."

Meng Shaoting looked at her and knew that they were all his people here and nothing bad would happen to them. He nodded in agreement after seeing her walk over and sit down.

"Hmph, you've really taken good care of her."

Old Master Meng played with his walking stick. After he finished speaking, he suddenly held Meng Shaoting's hand lightly, "Shao Ting, Daddy is really old."

Under the light of the lamp, he saw his elderly father's beautiful hair, which was trembling as he walked, and the hand that was holding onto him was still trembling non-stop. Meng Shaoting felt a faint bitterness in his heart as he supported Meng Zhenzong and pushed open the door of the lounge: "Dad, you're not old, you still have to live to be a hundred years old."

The Old Master Meng laughed: "That's right, if you listen to father obediently, I will live for a long time. Shao Ting, Meng’s's stock in the United States has dropped by 5%, you have been working there the entire time, you should know how big our losses are. Now, the American media is talking about it, everywhere and everyone has a wait-and-see attitude, the situation is not good."

The moment Meng Shaoting heard this news, he couldn't help but be startled. He immediately understood that the Shen Family only had Man Jun, his only daughter, and was naturally unwilling to let go of the incident that happened last time at the Plum Garden. "Dad, I know what you're going to say." Meng Shaoting helped Meng Zhenzong to sit down: "You want me to leave Jingwen and quickly get married with Man Jun."

"You and Man Jun have been together for five years, you should know what a good child that is. Speaking of which, these years, it has been our Meng Family who has held up Man Jun. I have given you all of her youth, and now that you have left in disappointment, are you really not feeling guilty? "

"I did." Meng Shaoting's slender fingers slowly intertwined and his heart was in a mess. He didn't know what to do in that moment.

Marriage was undoubtedly the easiest and most effective method, but he was always feeling unresigned and unhappy in his heart.

"Father knows that you are feeling wronged and also knows that you really like Fu Family right now. But kid, think about it. I see that Fu Jingzhi is extremely different from five years ago, you have treated her with all your heart, and she might not even care about you, don't wait until the end, you can only regret it now … "

Meng Shaoting sat there silently, thinking of the day when Mrs. Meng came to the Plum Garden, with the blood stains on his hands and what he had said.

He thought of the things he said to fawn on her, and wanted her to stay by his side in peace. After he said that he would help her take revenge on the Meng Family, she gradually changed.

Even though he knew that everything had changed, he still didn't want to let go.

She had suffered too many sins in the past five years, so he was willing to accompany her and do what she wanted as compensation.

He could turn a blind eye to everything that happened to her, but if one day she hurt his parents and destroyed Meng Family, would he still be able to continue?

"Father, I will seriously consider this matter. Next week, I will give you an answer."

Meng Shaoting said seriously, but in his heart, he seemed to have an answer. Usually, people would agree to all of this woman's stubborn requests and accompany her in small fights. However, in the face of personal benefits, she was far from enough.

Jing Zhi sat alone in the living room. At the beginning, there were people who would occasionally strike up a conversation with him, but gradually, they turned into a few noble ladies coming over to mock and ridicule him.

Quiet And Steadfast just held a cup of hot coffee in his hands, looking at the ladies with a smile that didn't seem like a smile.

"What is the identity of the Shen Family's daughter? And what kind of shrewd person was the Second Young Master? "Lin Tai, do you think someone would be foolish enough to want a single, helpless woman as a wife or a girl as a friend for a lifetime?"

"Therefore, no matter how this man plays outside, he will go and get married. When he wants to get married and have kids, he must be smart. Who is going to do this business of losing money?"

"Look at her complacent look tonight, it's all thanks to Miss Shen's good temper. If it were me, I would have long torn her face to shreds!"

"I hate being a mistress, and from the looks of it, this Miss Fu is also a daughter of a noble family. Back then, Fu Zhengze was also praised by everyone, if I were to see your own daughter shamelessly become a mistress, I wonder if he would be so angry that you would sit up!" Jingzhi tightened her grip on her cup. Her smile darkened, and she slowly put down her coffee cup. Ripples of water rippled through her eyes as she scanned the people around her.

The few bored wives all opened their eyes wide, ready to watch a good show. They were waiting for Fu Jingzhi to lose her cool and start laughing again.

However, Jingwen slowly stood up and stretched out her long skirt. She smiled lazily and casually and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, you should sit down if you're tired from talking. I need to go to the washroom."

She gracefully walked in front of the other wives: "I've borrowed you before, aiya, I just have a strange habit, every time I hear those vulgar words, I have to wash my ears, otherwise my whole body will be in pain. Please take a seat, the other wives can just stand and let others blame us, Shao Ting, for our poor hospitality, WAITER, please bring some cups of water, the wives are saying that we are extremely thirsty …"

As Jing Zhi said this, his voice was raised a bit, but it was so crisp and pleasant to hear that some of the people nearby heard it and immediately began to giggle.

Jingzhi smiled sweetly and said, "I'm sorry, but it's time for you ladies to leave."

With that, he turned around and left without looking at the resentful faces of those people.

He kept a calm smile on his face all the way until he walked out of the banquet hall and into the corridor outside. Only then did the smile on his face slowly disappear.

A cold crescent moon hung on the treetop.

Jingzhi tightly clenched her arms and looked down at the silver frost. Her mind gradually recalled the teachings that her father had taught her when she was young.

"Don't listen to your nonsense, don't disobey your deceit. The one who speaks is innocent, but the one who hears is enough to reprimand. A gentleman is nothing more than his own words... We know that we in Fu Family must not talk about right and wrong, and must not argue over things too quickly, and must allow other people to do so.

Jingwen's eyes gradually became moist. She raised both of her hands to cover her eyes. Father, father … You must be disappointed to see me in the sky today.

She slowly raised her head. Through the tears and mist, she seemed to see her former self in the sky.

That kind of infatuated quiet knowledge that loved Meng Shaoting so much, that was pure and kind, now, where had it gone to?

Dad, I will listen to you. All these years, but you know what, dad, those people won't let me go. If I continue like this, I will die.

Father, I will not disgrace you. Don't worry.

"Miss Fu?" Suddenly, a voice broke her train of thought. She turned her head in alarm only to see a fat man looking at her. She was sure she didn't recognize him. She politely smiled in response before turning to leave …

"Please wait, Miss Fu." Although Wei Er was fat, his movements were nimble. He walked over and said softly: "Third Young Master is waiting for you over there."

Quiet And Steadfast suddenly stopped. Her body swayed for a moment before she slowly turned around. Her eyes were somewhat disbelieving, confused, and shocked. "What did you say?"

Just as she finished speaking, her gaze slipped past Wei Er's shoulder. In the distance, she saw a person standing in a long and empty corridor with his back to them. She covered her mouth and stared blankly for a long time. Suddenly, as if she had gone mad, she pushed away the Wei Er and ran forward …

The high heels were hard to run, but she didn't seem to feel them at all.

"Shaoxuan …"

Quiet And Steadfast spoke in a low voice and hugged him tightly from behind. "Shaoxuan, you're finally here …"

"I know, I know …" Meng Shaoxuan turned around in a panic to find out what happened. Jingzhi hurriedly handed over her hand to him, and then, he grabbed tightly onto her, and then, in the direction of his embrace, she was wrapped up by that familiar smell. Jingzhi lightly put his face in front of his body. Are you sick? Are you hurt? Are you hungry... "Shao Xuan …"

"Third Young Master, don't stay here. We'll be leaving from time to time. You guys can enter the resting room to talk."

The Wei Er interrupted the two and pointed towards the resting area at the side. Jingwen hurriedly wiped his tears and held his hand tightly, "Sir, you're right. Shaoxuan, let's go there and talk."

In the darkness of the night, when Jingzhi held his hand, his whole heart seemed to calm down. He could follow her without worry and leave himself to her without worry.

Under his concealment, she easily avoided the crowd's gaze as she quietly pushed open the door of the resting room. Inside, there was no light, so she brought Meng Shaoxuan in, and then, locked the door from the inside. Only then did the two of them softly heave a sigh of relief.

Inside the pitch black house, Jingzhi gently leaned into his embrace as she wrapped her arms around Meng Shaoxuan's body. She could clearly feel that he had become much skinnier.

Tears rolled down his face. "Shaoxuan, you've gotten skinnier."

Meng Shaoxuan hugged her even more tightly as he pressed his chin against her head. "I know, I'm fine, as long as I know that you're fine, I'll be fine."

Just like that, the two of them tightly embraced each other as they quietly heard his heartbeat, causing all the grievances on his body to quietly spill out. She sniffed, then leaned into his embrace, "Shaoxuan, I miss you every day. I miss you every night. I can't fall asleep no matter what I want to do …"

"I miss you too. How much you miss me, I miss you a hundred times over. I know, I'll definitely take you away."

"How do I get there? Shao Xuan, Meng Shaoting will not let us go, and you can't see anything, so what should we do? "

"There will be a way, there will definitely be a way. If I know, would you believe me?"

"I believe in you. I believe that you will definitely be able to save me. I also believe that you won't give up on me. You won't leave me by that disgusting man's side like this."

"Knowing... You, you, like I like you, like me? "

He gently cupped her face in his hands, and his burning breath slowly seeped into her nose, "I know, I think you're going crazy, what should I do? "What should we do?"

"Yes, Shao Xuan. I like you …" Jingzhi shivered and gently closed her eyes …

"Knowing …" Meng Shaoxuan immediately held her tightly as the two of them tightly pressed together. Quiet And Steadfast sighed, "Shaoxuan …" It was like a whisper, burning and teasing.

The lights suddenly lit up!

"Good, really good, what a love." There was a person who was lying on the sofa in the resting room, and he coldly smiled at the two people who tightly embraced him. His eyes were like two extremely cold stars, revealing a sharp hatred and boundless despair.
