After Transmigrating as a Tycoon’s Wife, My Thoughts Are Heard by the Whole Family

Chapter 22



"Is this... a lovers' quarrel?"

"But Chu Xinyue's expression doesn't seem like she's lying!"

"Even if Wu Tian isn't a great person, he's still the young master of the Wu family. Why would he need to make up lies?"

"Chu Xinyue even said she's going to sue him. How could that be fake?"

The crowd buzzed with discussion, truly bewildered by the situation.

Wu Tian hadn't expected Chu Xinyue to deny everything on the spot. His eyes turned bloodshot with anger.

"You dare to deny it! Damn it, no wonder you said you were afraid of the Qin family finding out that their fiancée was with me, so you kept it hidden and didn't dare to go public. So this is what you were waiting for! You think you can pretend we were never together? Keep dreaming! Chu Xinyue, I'm giving you face now, so you'd better save yours. Otherwise, I'll reveal everything, and then you'll really lose face! I know all about those things you've been hiding!"

Chu Xinyue's expression remained unperturbed. She only smiled more mockingly, "Then go ahead and say it. I want to see who'll really end up losing face!"

As she finished speaking, her gaze swept over Chu Xueqi, who indeed began to look flustered.

"You!" Wu Tian exploded with rage.

Mr. Chu, seeing that they were about to start a fight and worried that some unsavory words might be spoken, quickly pulled Chu Xinyue back.

"What are you making a fuss about! Stop being temperamental! You might not care about your reputation, but our Chu family does!"

Mrs. Chu also stepped forward, pulling Chu Xinyue, and said, "If you ruin this joyous occasion with your behavior, who will want you in the future? Apologize to Wu Tian properly."

She then turned to Wu Tian's aunt and uncle with an apologetic smile, "Our daughter has a bit of a temper. She'll mature after getting married. Please bear with her."

Wu Tian's aunt and uncle actually didn't like this girl with a bad reputation at all, but they had no choice. Wu Tian was a good-for-nothing with an even worse reputation. Comparing the two, it was six of one and half a dozen of the other. With matching social status, it naturally became a good marriage alliance.

"Your eldest daughter seems quite spirited, but it's alright. After they're married, the young couple will gradually smooth things out."

Before the elders from both sides could exchange hypocritical smiles, Chu Xinyue interrupted.

"What's this? Are we trading women without regard for personal wishes now?" Chu Xinyue mocked directly, then swiftly shook off her parents' hands as if throwing off two shackles.

The people around were stunned by Chu Xinyue's sudden harsh words.

[Well done! If you don't speak harshly, these people act like they can't understand human language and will just decide other people's lives on their own!]

The Qin family, listening to this, also felt that the Chu couple was being a bit too much. Chu Xinyue clearly didn't want this, and for parents to act this way was truly disheartening.

But the Chu family didn't see it that way. Mr. Chu, coming to his senses, angrily said, "How dare you speak like that! You've become more and more unruly! Is this how you talk to your parents?"

Mrs. Chu's tone suddenly changed to one of betrayal and heartache, "You're being foolish and impulsive! We're making decisions to help you! You're so ungrateful! You've already been involved with Wu Tian, whether you've broken up or not, there were feelings there. Now that he wants to marry you, how can you refuse? Listen to us and sit down to finalize this engagement properly!"

Chu Xinyue coldly laughed, "I'm an adult. You have no right to decide my affairs!"

Chu Xinyue rarely spoke to them in such a cold tone. Although she was usually somewhat cold-hearted, she would try her best to go along with their wishes.

So the current Chu Xinyue was like a complete rebel! Too defiant! It left her parents dumbfounded.

"What's gotten into you! We are your parents!" Mr. Chu exclaimed in shock.

Chu Xinyue's expression finally changed a bit, sneering, "Are you really? I thought you were only Chu Xueqi's parents!"

This statement immediately made the Chu parents flush red.

"Shut up!"

"You ungrateful child, what nonsense are you spouting!"

[Oh my, they're furious now. Why get so angry if it's not true? I really suspect that the Chu couple actually knows how biased and ridiculous they are, but just won't allow Chu Xinyue to say it out loud. How disgusting.]

The Qin family also felt that the Chu parents now looked like something that shouldn't have been revealed had been exposed, making them jump in anger.

But Chu Xinyue would no longer back down for the sake of filial piety.

"I clearly said I don't know this person, but you don't believe me. You insist on pushing me to him, not caring if it ruins my life. What? You'd rather believe an outsider's words than your own daughter's! And you still claim to be my parents?"

"Who told you to lie all the time? Is it our fault for not believing you?" Mr. Chu berated.

[That's right, Wu Tian is such an honest person, more worthy of your trust.]

Ji Fei's sarcastic comment almost made Mr. and Mrs. Qin lose their composure, and even the quietly observing Qin Yan nearly spat out her drink.

This caused others to look over at them.

Qin Xian could only calmly cover up, saying, "Well, we'll have to see who's more trustworthy between Miss Chu and Mr. Wu."

Everyone was taken aback, recalling Wu Tian's illustrious track record, and then comparing it to Chu Xinyue's...

Umm...

Mr. Chu's face immediately froze.

Qin Xian still held considerable sway; once he spoke up, everyone began to doubt the situation.

Wu Tian felt extremely provoked. Seeing Chu Xinyue's expression, he laughed bitterly, throwing caution to the wind. He viciously said to Chu Xinyue, "You forced me to do this!"

Without further ado, he rushed to the multimedia player not far from the reception area.

The electronic device that had been displaying photos of Qin Xi and Qin Yan was connected to a phone.

In the next second, a series of intimate photos that almost needed censoring were projected onto the big screen.

Most of them were taken on a hotel bed.

The dreamy gaze, the ambiguous atmosphere, the alluring expression, as seductive and charming as a vixen.

It was completely unimaginable that they could be of the now expressionless Chu Xinyue.

The final photo settled on an image of a man and woman kissing.

That beautiful face with half-closed eyes.

The crowd gasped in shock. This was solid evidence. It seemed Wu Tian and Chu Xinyue really had been together.

"Hmph, I've practically slept you raw! And you still deny it?" Wu Tian snarled, his expression twisted.

But Chu Xinyue laughed, laughed uncontrollably.

Qin Zhao stared at the photos, his face ashen, anger surging to his brain.

Because he had immediately determined that the person capable of making such an expression couldn't possibly be Chu Xinyue.

But if not Chu Xinyue, who could it be?

In that second, Qin Zhao didn't dare to think further.

As a result, Ji Fei's inner thoughts came pouring in, crushing all his objections.

[I never expected this! Chu Xueqi is quite the wild one in private. I doubted her acting skills before, but I was presumptuous. Seeing how well she plays the innocent flower in public, without a trace of her playful side showing, she's a true acting queen!]

[Chu Xueqi is really something. Just because Qin Zhao was in seclusion for filming, she couldn't bear the loneliness and found someone to play with. She probably thought she'd found someone equally promiscuous, enjoy a brief fling, and then part ways gracefully, each keeping the other's secret. Who knew she'd end up entangled with such a scoundrel? I bet she never imagined it would come to this.]

[Look at her, she's gone pale. But judging by her parents' expressions, they were completely unaware! Oh my, I wonder if Wu Tian will reveal an even bigger secret later. If he does, the evidence will be clear as day.]

Ji Fei continued to revel in the drama unfolding before her. The Qin family, hearing bits and pieces of these inner thoughts, were scratching their heads in confusion. What else could there be?

Only Qin Zhao's world was crumbling.

Because he had indeed been out of contact with Chu Xueqi for over three months while in seclusion.

If it really was Xueqi, it would mean she had been using Chu Xinyue's name to fool around outside, letting Chu Xinyue take the blame.

How evil would one have to be to do such a thing?

At this moment, Qin Zhao's worldview seemed to be turning upside down.

Everything he had always believed in and trusted... was it all... a lie?

"All of this," Chu Xinyue said slowly after she finished laughing, "is fake."

"Fake? Don't tell me you're saying these photos are photoshopped. Chu Xinyue, you really are..."

"The photos are real, the person is fake." Chu Xinyue's gaze finally fixed on Chu Xueqi as she said, "That face isn't my exclusive property. Mr. Wu, next time you sleep with someone, you'd better make sure you can tell them apart. Just because someone says they're a certain person doesn't mean you should believe it!"

Wu Tian stood there, dumbfounded.

Everyone fell silent.

Wasn't this implying that the adorable little princess, who had been so well-protected by her family and kept as pure as untouched snow, was the woman in the photograph?

It wasn't just everyone else; even Wu Tian, upon a quick glance, immediately questioned it.

Meanwhile, the Chu couple was absolutely beside themselves.
