Chapter 384: Chapter 384

Gu Zixuan couldn’t speak.

Zhou Xiao sneered, "Can’t say a single thing? Fine, then I’ll ask you another question. You keep saying that all these things were done by me, that I deserved it. So, dare I ask, where’s the evidence?"

Gu Zixuan’s lips trembled, "..."

A debate requires factual basis; making things up on the spot is not her way of doing things, which is why she always disliked arguing with people.

But the matter wasn’t done by her, she knew nothing about it, she had only just found out, how could she... Thıs content belongs to novel-fire.net

Gu Zixuan was speechless, and Zhou Xiao laughed even more recklessly, "Is there nothing to say? Haha, Gu Zixuan, you know nothing, yet you can assertively claim in person that these are facts. Is this how Columbia’s talented students brazenly make up lies in front of everyone?"

Gu Zixuan blushed, "You..."

Zhou Xiao’s laughter shook her shoulders, "Moreover, let’s say all these things were indeed done by me, doesn’t everyone here find the timing of the exposure too peculiar?"

With arms crossed, Zhou Xiao turned again, holding her chin high as she faced the crowd. "Miss Gu’s scandal about adultery and divorce, being involved with various elites, has only been out for just over a week, hasn’t it? Yet, within days, a report of Mr. He having an affair came out, vindicating Miss Gu. Fine, at this stage, let’s assume this is just a high-society divorce dispute. Even if Mr. He admits to having an affair first, Rong City’s entertainment page had its moment of excitement. Let’s consider this as a fact. However, right after, my news surfaced, even faster, overshadowing Mr. He’s news, becoming the entertainment headline."

"So, I just don’t understand..." Smiling eerily, Zhou Xiao articulated each word, "What’s the point in shifting the blame ? If Mr. He did have an affair, and the divorce already happened, wouldn’t it be straightforward to admit it? Although Mr. He acts with a cold temperament, he is someone with accountability. In Rong City’s business circles, I imagine I needn’t clarify this. Why then, concerning my issue, would he choose to use framing a woman as a scapegoat?"

Instantly, the gathered executives, their wives, and female partners nodded in agreement, exchanging glances of consensus.

He Qimo furrowed his eyebrows slightly, silent.

Gu Zixuan looked at Zhou Xiao, her heart trembling.

Zhou Xiao continued, "Moreover, the most confounding part of this is, if it wasn’t Mr. He who did this, then who could have? Who had the ability to make this happen..."

Looking towards Feng Chengjin, Zhou Xiao smiled slowly, "President Feng’s previous acknowledgment, surely, was the truth, wasn’t it?"

In the air, Feng Chengjin lifted his gaze coolly, his lips curling with a nonchalant and ambiguous smile, "What does Miss Zhou want to say?"

"I want to say..." Zhou Xiao smiled at Feng Chengjin but didn’t intend to confront him.

Instead, she turned to Gu Zixuan, continuing to press on the weakest among them, "What exactly did President Feng and Miss Gu do to wrong Mr. He, to be in the victim’s position, yet eagerly step forward to clean up Mr. He’s mess?"

In an instant, the entire venue fell into chaos.

The many executives present, who naturally had little affection for such high-society dramas, frowned and couldn’t help but whisper towards Gu Zixuan’s direction.

Gu Zixuan’s face turned cold and pale.

Especially as she felt the disbelief from Feng Chengjin’s sister-in-law, Li Zhi, next to her, who also looked towards her and Feng Chengjin with disbelief, Gu Zixuan’s heart felt like ice.

Looking at the current moment, Zhou Xiao’s gaze was more vicious than a viper, she finally understood Zhou Xiao’s true intention.

The competition over reputation, the rights and wrongs of matters, Zhou Xiao probably didn’t care about them?

Zhou Xiao knew very well that whether she came to provoke He Qimo, Yu Yuanshen, or Feng Chengjin today, she wouldn’t be able to clear her name after this mess.

Of course, since these three men were targeting the Zhou Family, she couldn’t clear her name either.

In that case, she might as well drag everyone down to hell, and see in a life-and-death struggle who could emerge victorious.

In Zhou Xiao’s eyes, Gu Zixuan could only see one thought.

Since they’ve ruined her reputation, not allowing her to find a good man smoothly, then let her and Feng Chengjin be impossible forever!

For a while, the scene was both chaotic and silent.

Song Qingchen smirked coldly and whispered, "Cousin really did play this step correctly; Miss Zhou’s temper is such that just a little fuel can ignite the whole world."

Liang Shiman laughed sinisterly, "All disasters stem from her, now we all end up so miserable, while she’s shielded by the protection of three men. Zhou Xiao and Gu Zixuan have been fighting for two years, yet haven’t managed to even touch the hem of He Qimo’s clothes, their self-esteem worn down to the brink. As for me, He Qimo has wronged me all these years, still wanting to send me to prison. Hah, when it comes to us, why should they?"

The cold and fierce laughter of Song Qingchen uplifted her smile faintly.

Indeed, there’s a kind of woman in this world who, while pretending to want nothing, somehow attracts all the top-notch good men, improving with each choice.

Meanwhile, women like them, who exert every effort, exhausting half their lives just to pursue one man, receive not even a spark of feeling from that man.

The heavens are so unfair, perhaps they’ve long been blind...

Song Qingchen coldly smiled, continuing to watch with Liang Shiman.

Chen Yiyue, watching Gu Zixuan’s stubborn and embarrassed silhouette, felt a pang of heartache, wanting several times to step forward and mediate at the venue. But considering that Feng Chengxuan sat there so quietly...

She just looked at the situation in the venue.

Half of Rong City’s wealthy elite gathered there, alongside the minister’s son from Beijing!

What could she, a mere chairwoman connecting the charity projects with wealthy businessmen, do?

If there was something she could do, why would she...

She chuckled self-deprecatingly, softly lowering her eyebrows and lashes.

After a pause, she glanced at the phone in her palm.

Prepared to step out and make a call, no matter what, Gu Qingfeng had favored her with mentorship, and for Gu Qingfeng’s most beloved daughter, she must try to save the situation.

But before she could leave, at a turn of her head, she glimpsed two women not far from beside her, their sinister and venomous smiles making her pause.

Her lightly jasmine-like eyes couldn’t help but deepen.

Gu Zixuan’s gaze trembled.

Zhou Xiao looked at her harshly, continuing to push her to the extreme.

"Miss Gu, come, in front of Rong City’s elite, say it openly, that you have never wronged He Qimo, it’s all He Qimo who wronged you. It’s because of He Qimo’s affair, his emotional betrayal that forced you into this corner... The relationship between you and President Feng is pure, and your emotional development wasn’t before the divorce, the only truly despicable one is He Qimo!"
