Shen Manbing, in disbelief, looked at Shen Shichuan, “So you just wanted to use me?”
The daughter-in-law of the Gu Family, the young mistress of the Shengyuan Group, what attractive titles they were.
If she became the daughter-in-law of the Gu family, wouldn’t it be beneficial for his career?
If it were in the past, Shen Manbing would definitely not doubt her elder brother.
But now, Shen Shichuan had done too many unimaginable things.
Shen Manbing suddenly felt lost.
Looking at the man before her, the man who once loved her to his bones, she could only feel as if she had never truly known him.
At this time,
Gu Qichen continued to speak, “Manbing, everyone in the world can misunderstand him, blame him, but you can’t, he’s trying to protect you.”
“Protect me?”
“Only the Gu Family can pressure the Shen Family. If you become the Gu’s daughter-in-law, no one from the Shen Family would dare to bully you again, I believe that’s what Shichuan was thinking.”
After hearing this, Shen Manbing felt a rush of many emotions.
Shock, guilt, sorrow, heartbreak, those intense feelings seemed to weave into a net, wrapping her tightly.
She stared at Shen Shichuan, unable to utter a word for a moment.
Shen Shichuan’s eyes revealed a hint of pain, “I’m sorry, Xiao Bing, I was not able to protect you, how could I demand others to do so?”
“That’s not it, brother,” Shen Manbing muttered.
Other people say that she’s domineering and willful, but she still can distinguish right from wrong.
Her brother was wrong, if he is wrong, then he is wrong.
But her brother did everything for her.
Shen Manbing suddenly turned around, deeply bowing to Xia Yangyang, “I know my brother did many things to wrong you, but everything he did, he did because of me. I don’t dare to ask your forgiveness, but I will take on all the consequences. Tomorrow, I will announce my departure from the entertainment industry, as a form of compensation to you.”
Shen Shichuan was shocked, he quickly held Shen Manbing, “Since the truth is revealed, I will shoulder the responsibility for what I’ve done.”
Xia Yangyang was also shocked, how could Shen Manbing, proud as a swan, bend herself like this?
Shen Shichuan said to Xia Yangyang, “You should know, I did everything behind Manbing’s back. Otherwise, she would never have cooperated with you to catch me, the mastermind behind it all. Since this has nothing to do with her, I hope you two won’t vent your anger on her. I will clarify everything at a press conference tomorrow and I’m ready to take all legal responsibilities.”
Shen Manbing stopped him, “No, if you really have a press conference, we’re finished.”
Shen Shichuan said to Gu Qichen, “Ah Chen, I know you’re a man who insists on an eye for an eye. Besides, I lied to and betrayed you. But for the sake of our many years of friendship, don’t let Manbing get involved.”
Gu Qichen glanced at Xia Yangyang, “For so long, the one you hurt was not me, but my wife. We’ve already discussed this; I’m just a bystander. As for the outcome, Yangyang will decide. If Yangyang wants to send you to prison, I will hire the best lawyer for her.”
Shen Manbing grabbed Xia Yangyang’s hand, almost pleading, “Please don’t do this. Whatever my brother did, I will bear it. I will leave the entertainment industry and stay far away from you. Please don’t ruin him?”
“My reputation was damaged, I carried a bad name, almost being labeled a murderer. If I forgive you so easily, won’t I, Xia Yangyang, seem too easy to bully?”
Something seemed to sink in Shen Manbing’s eyes.
Xia Yangyang continued, “However, if you want me to drop the matter, it is not impossible. Just meet three conditions.”
Suddenly, a light returned to Shen Manbing’s eyes, “Say it, no matter what it is, I will agree.”
