Chapter 2: Uncover the truth and punish the evildoers!
Su Mengxue got angry instantly when she saw him with a sour face and saying that she was acting.
She looked up at those deep, inky eyes and curled her lips: "Gu Yunting, what am I acting? I've met too many men who are more handsome and better than you. Can you please stop being so self-indulgent?"
After she finished speaking, she pulled his hand away and took a few steps back to keep some distance from him.
Gu Yunting's face was gloomy. He stared at Su Mengxue, his fingertips pinching until they turned white.
Su Mengxue knew that Gu Yunting was a favored child in Jiangbei and was very proud. It would definitely be difficult for him to accept others saying that. However, when she thought about what he did to the original owner in the book, she felt relieved.
She was just waiting for that bastard Gu Xiangyu to come, then the truth would be revealed and she could cancel the engagement and leave the Gu family.
Speak of the devil, and he appears. Just as Su Mengxue thought of Gu Xiangyu, he brought people to break down the door.
Su Mengxue calmly sat back on the edge of the kang, waiting for the show to begin.
Gu Yunting glanced at her. She was sitting upright with no fear on her face. It was obvious that she came prepared. The disgust in his eyes suddenly increased a little.
Soon the door was kicked open.
"Su Mengxue, you actually dared to do such a shameless thing with a wild man in our home. You are so shameless."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Xiangyu rushed in with two young men. After entering the inner room and seeing who they were, he scratched his head in confusion and blurted out, "Uncle, why are you here? Where's Li Qiang?"
Su Mengxue already knew the following plot from the book. Gu Yunting's brother and sister-in-law Gu Weiguo and Sun Suqin, as well as old man Gu Changhe would be here soon.
After they successfully caught her in adultery, they would publicly arrange her marriage to Gu Yunting. Then, Gu Yunting would leave with a cold face, and only return from the army reluctantly on the wedding day.
Su Mengxue's eyes were cold, she would never let history repeat itself!
She walked over to Gu Xiangyu and asked with a serious face, "Gu Xiangyu, why can't it be Gu Yunting? Who is Li Qiang? What you said is very strange. I think it's clearly you who is secretly behind all this!"
Gu Xiangyu hadn't expected the usually submissive Su Mengxue to be so calm at this moment. He was stunned for a moment, and then retorted confidently, "Su Mengxue, I was just saying it casually. Don't behave yourself and then blame me if something goes wrong."
Su Mengxue knew how much Gu Xiangyu was afraid of Gu Yunting, and a contemptuous smile escaped from her throat: "Gu Yunxiangyu, are you saying that your uncle and I are behaving improperly?"
Gu Xiangyu glanced at Gu Yunting and was immediately frightened.
He flatly denied it, "Su Mengxue, my uncle is a decent man. There are many women in Jiangbei who want to marry him. How could he have an affair with an illiterate country bumpkin like you? You must have drugged him to seduce him."
The two lackeys around Gu Xiangyu echoed in unison, "Captain Gu is an honest and upright man, the most popular gay man in Jiangbei. It must be you, a restless woman, who is trying to get close to him and drug him to seduce him."
Gu Yunting looked at Gu Xiangyu calmly and became suspicious.
Su Mengxue heard footsteps outside the door and realized that the important people had arrived. She cleared her throat and raised her voice slightly, saying, "Gu Xiangyu, you just said that I had an affair with a strange man before you even entered the inner room. This is not the room I live in, so how did you know it was me?"
Su Mengxue leaned closer to Gu Xiangyu and said, "Also, when you entered the room and saw Gu Yunting, you blurted out, 'Why isn't it Li Qiang?' I just came to Jiangbei from the countryside today. I don't even know Li Qiang. Why did you insist on saying that I had an affair with him?"
When Gu Xiangyu heard this, he realized that he had just let the cat out of the bag. Although his palms were sweating, he managed to keep a straight face.
"Finally, there's the lock on the door outside the room. If I really had an affair, why would I lock the door from the outside? Besides, I can't do it on my own. I came to Jiangbei alone, so who could be my accomplice in the Gu family?"
"This...this..." Gu Xiangyu looked embarrassed and stammered, unable to speak.
A hint of coldness flashed across Su Mengxue's eyes. "Gu Xiangyu, unless this was all planned by you from the beginning to the end, you drugged me, then found a man named Li Qiang to rape me, and finally brought people to catch us in the act, the purpose of you doing all this was to break off the engagement with me, am I right?"
Gu Yunting understood everything the moment he heard this. His gaze fell on Gu Xiangyu, his eyes sharp: "Gu Xiangyu, as a member of the Gu family, you actually did such a despicable thing. Usually, your elder brother and sister-in-law spoil you too much!"
Gu Xiangyu understood the implication of Gu Yunting's words. The color on his face instantly faded, his legs went limp, and he collapsed to the ground with a thump.
"Uncle, I...I..."
His lips trembled uncontrollably and his teeth began to chatter. He grabbed the corner of Gu Yunting's clothes and made an indistinct whimpering sound in his throat, as if he was begging for mercy, or as if he was extremely frightened.
Su Mengxue glanced at Gu Xiangyu with disgust. The trap he set was simply too vulnerable for her. He really was a spoiled and domineering idiot as described in the book.
Seeing the truth was revealed, she turned to look at Gu Yunting and sneered, "Who wronged me just now?"
Gu Yunting realized that he had misunderstood Su Mengxue. He moved his lips slightly and was about to apologize, but she spoke first: "Gu Xiangyu drugged me and ruined my innocence. I believe that Captain Gu will not be partial in deciding how to deal with him."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Weiguo and Sun Suqin, who were standing outside the door and eavesdropping, could no longer stay and pushed the door open and rushed in.
Sun Suqin grabbed Gu Yunting's hand and cried, "Yunting, you also know that Xiangyu and the Su family are not a good match. Xiangyu just wanted to cancel the engagement with the Su family, and he did this in a moment of confusion. If he knew you were at home tonight, he wouldn't dare to do it even if he had ten times the courage. Yunting, can you please spare him for the sake of my brother and sister-in-law?"
"Yes, Yun Ting, he's your only son, and if he goes to jail, how are we going to live? Besides, it's not good for you, the captain, to be in jail. They say family disgrace shouldn't be made public. Can you please forgive him this time? Your sister-in-law and I will definitely teach him a lesson in the future."
Su Mengxue listened to the two of them discussing the pros and cons of their Gu family all the time. When she thought of the original owner of the book who was accused of using despicable means to climb up the social ladder because of this incident and was despised until her death, she was so angry that her lungs were about to explode.
"Do you two treat me, the victim, like air? If Gu Yunting dares to show partiality, I will go to the Public Security Bureau tomorrow to sue him as well."
