Chapter 86 You said you chose Zhou Yunshuang
Another bolt of lightning struck Jin Changyu's head.
How did this turn into emotional infidelity again?
He truly had no idea that she had secretly planted so many terrible charges against him behind his back.
"First of all, I have not been emotionally unfaithful to anyone."
Jin Changyu sat up straight, his expression serious and earnest, and said, "Secondly, Zhou Yunshuang is not my ex-girlfriend."
Hearing this, Sang Qian felt that he was really dishonest.
"Have you lost your memory, or do you think the internet has no memory?"
She looked at the man in front of her and said, "Two years ago, your love story with Zhou Yunshuang was known to almost the entire city. Now you're telling me she wasn't your ex-girlfriend?"
Jin Changyu said, "Zhou Yunshuang was just a marriage partner chosen by my family before I married you. I've never even held her hand."
"You lie without batting an eye."
Sang Qian reached out and poked his chest.
"The opera house you built for love, the 'Phoenix Seeking Its Mate' she danced to express her love for you, your public response to her proposal on stage—were all of these fake? Or do you think I…"
Jin Changyu raised his hand and grabbed her hand as she tried to pull away. "These are all fake."
Jin Changyu's words abruptly ended Sang Qian's unfinished sentence.
"Those were all fabricated by the media at Zhou Yunshuang's behest."
"What?"
Sang Qian was once again bewildered by the situation, which did not conform to her understanding. Her mind was a little confused, and she stared at him blankly, unable to speak for a moment.
Jin Changyu took the opportunity to hold her hand tightly in his palm and explained to her:
"The opera house was a pilot project for the development of arts and cultural projects under our Jin family back then."
"The proposal to build the opera house was approved by the senior management of the Jin Group, and my grandmother personally signed off on it."
“This is the company’s asset, not my private property, and it was not built for Zhou Yunshuang.”
"As the chief supervisor of the construction, it was just part of my job to represent the company and present flowers on the day the opera house opened. I arrived at the venue three minutes before the performance ended, and then went on stage with the flowers that the staff had arranged for me."
Jin Changyu said, "I have no idea what kind of nonsense Zhou Yunshuang was dancing on stage, and I didn't watch it."
Whether it's a phoenix seeking its mate or a bird seeking its mate, it's all irrelevant to him.
"The flower presentation was just one part of the opening ceremony that evening, and the bouquet was not presented to Zhou Yunshuang personally, but to all the performers on stage that evening. She was just accepting the flowers on behalf of them."
Sang Qian was stunned.
Seeing her mouth slightly open, her big round eyes staring at him without any reaction, Jin Changyu asked, "You don't believe me?"
"Okay, I'll have Gao Ze bring you all the relevant information about the opera house, as well as the archived documents of the opening day's workflow. The information doesn't lie..."
Seeing that he was actually taking out his phone and dialing a number, Sang Qian quickly pounced on him and snatched the phone from his hand.
"No need, oh dear, don't do that."
Jin Changyu raised his phone with his left hand to prevent her from taking it, and with his right hand, he pulled her closer into his arms, looking at her earnestly and aggrievedly, "Then do you believe me? Are you still accusing me?"
"I……"
Sang Qian looked up, and the two almost touched noses. Her pupils trembled, and she hurriedly pulled away from his embrace.
"What accusation? Didn't you yourself publicly announce your relationship in a later interview?"
"Watch your words." Jin Changyu lightly tapped her forehead with his finger.
"At that time, I only announced the news of the marriage alliance with the Zhou family, not the relationship."
"Those rumors that the outside world mistakenly believed to be about a romantic relationship were all false articles deliberately written by the media at Zhou Yunshuang's behest."
Although Jin Changyu disapproved of Zhou Yunshuang's behavior, he couldn't come out to clarify things and embarrass the woman because the marriage between the Jin and Zhou families had already been announced.
Otherwise, how will the outside world view the marriage between Jin and Zhou?
As for what happened later, after the engagement with the Zhou family was called off, there's even less need to bring it up again to clarify.
Doing so will only make outsiders think that the Jin family lacks magnanimity and is deliberately seeking revenge and tearing apart the woman after the marriage failed.
Such a commotion will not only damage the group's reputation, but will also make the cancellation of the marriage alliance between the two companies a hot topic of discussion again.
Besides, he doesn't need to explain his love life to the outside world.
It was at this moment, looking at Sang Qian who had such a deep misunderstanding of him, that he felt regret for not handling the matter properly back then.
He didn't care what others thought of him, but he did care about Sang Qian's opinion.
Even if those things happened before he and she got together, he didn't want her to misunderstand.
It took Sang Qian a while to process what he had said.
"So...you and she never dated? Nothing ever happened between you two?"
Jin Changyu gazed intently at her, "Besides you, I have never had any intimate contact with any other woman, not even holding hands."
Sang Qian's pupils trembled slightly, unable to contain her emotions, and her gaze towards him held a great deal of unfathomable depth.
After a long silence, she asked softly, "You don't like her?"
Jin Changyu's gaze was firm and frank: "I have never liked her."
Even if the marriage was arranged initially, it was only for business reasons.
"impossible."
Sang Qian shook her head, indicating disbelief.
Jin Changyu mimicked how she usually swore, raising three fingers and saying, "I swear, I have only ever had you as my woman, and since being with you, I have never thought of anyone else."
Sang Qian frowned as she looked at him, her eyes probing, as if she were trying to discern the credibility of his words, or perhaps the meaning behind them.
After a long pause, she suddenly spoke up, "Can I ask you a question?"
Jin Changyu, "You're asking?"
Sang Qian stared intently at him, her eyes gradually blurring with tears. She took a deep breath to steady her voice:
"If Zhou Yunshuang and I were both standing in front of you and you had to choose, who would you choose as your wife?"
Hearing the familiar words, Jin Changyu's heart skipped a beat. He stared in astonishment and shock at Sang Qian, whose eyes were red-rimmed, his mind going blank for a moment.
Seeing him frozen in place, Sang Qian felt as if something sharp was choking her throat, and the words she spoke were hoarse and painful:
"What? Don't know how to answer?"
She laughed self-deprecatingly, "It's okay if you don't answer, because I already heard your answer."
Sang Qian suddenly felt that she was humiliating herself. Why did she have to ask a question that she already knew the answer to?
Jin Changyu's pupils constricted. "What did you say?"
“I heard Ningxi ask you that question that day.”
Sang Qian looked at his expression change instantly and said, word by word, "You said you choose Zhou Yunshuang."
