How could Xia Wan have the nerve to say such a thing? Face, my foot! What's her face worth? If I were Zhuang Yan, I'd want to vomit just looking at her silicone face.
[She still cares about saving face? She should take a good look at herself in the mirror.]
[Is she not peeing? If not, I'll pee myself; my urine will give a clearer view!]
Under immense pressure, Xia Wan said with great difficulty, "Could you please ask Gu Qian not to kneel down, considering our three years of friendship? After all, he is a public figure."
"Do you want to hear what you're saying? He's a public figure, so why didn't he remember that he's a public figure when he was spreading rumors and slandering me? Luckily, the hospital cleared my name this time, otherwise I would have been unable to clear my name even if I jumped into the Yellow River."
Zhuang Yan spoke calmly and composedly: "As for the affection you mentioned, I am ashamed of the three years I spent with you. If I could, I would wish I had never met you."
Xia Wan's face was completely drained of color, and her clenched fists loosened weakly. Every word Zhuang Yan uttered felt like needles piercing her eardrums, making her ears ring. For a long time, Xia Wan was unable to speak, as if her soul had left her body.
The mocking gazes around her made her wish she could disappear into a crack in the ground.
She could clearly analyze that Zhuang Yan's words were not spoken in anger; the more good he had been to her in the past, the more he now loathed her.
Language is a double-edged sword. When you speak kind words, they are like honey, but when you express hatred, they can be like a knife that stabs you until you bleed.
Xia Wan didn't know what expression to make for a moment. At this moment, in Zhuang Yan's mind, she was despicable and a vicious woman with a heart of a snake.
Zhuang Yan approached Gu Qian, his expression and tone relaxed and natural: "Kneel down."
Gu Qian's eyes were bloodshot, but he refused to kneel down.
"You won't listen to me when I speak properly, so you insist on me using special methods, right?" Zhuang Yan reached out and patted Gu Qian's left shoulder, as if brushing dust off his clothes. The next second, he exerted force, as if he had pressed a switch.
Gu Qian felt as if his left hand had been dislocated by an electric shock, both painful and numb. He subconsciously bent his knee to dodge, but Zhuang Qian used even more force. Gu Qian was already in pain and his legs were unsteady. Zhuang Qian easily pressed him to his knees with one hand.
Gu Qian's eyes widened. He subconsciously tried to stand up, but found that he couldn't.
In order to maintain his image and look good on camera, Gu Qian strictly controlled his diet, relying solely on "not eating" to lose weight without doing any strength training. As a result, his physical condition was very poor, and his strength was no match for Zhuang Yan's.
Zhuang Yan pressed him down with his hand, as if he were pressing down a boiled chicken.
Gu Qian strained until his face turned red, but he couldn't budge Zhuang Yan's grip.
"I agreed to let you come to the hospital for a checkup, but now that the results are in, you want to deny it? Do you think I'm easy to mess with?"
No one expected that Zhuang Yan would directly force Gu Qian to kneel on the ground.
Zhuang Yan wore a smile, still appearing very kind, but if you looked closely, you could see that his eyes were terrifyingly deep.
Both those at the scene and the viewers in the live broadcast room were shocked by the scene, as if they were getting to know Zhuang Yan all over again.
Zhuang Yan has always given the impression of being good-tempered and never getting angry, as if nothing can affect him.
To put it nicely, he has a good personality; to put it bluntly, he's a coward.
He didn't get angry when his fiancée ran away from the wedding, he didn't care when the Xia family slandered him, and he didn't even react when his biological parents abandoned him to adopt Gu Qian as their godson.
Gu Qian thought Zhuang Yan was an easy target to manipulate, but only today did he realize that the other party was a hard rock disguised as a bubble.
Unable to stand, Gu Qian had no choice but to give up resisting. He glared at Zhuang Yan with resentment and secretly vowed that he would make Zhuang Yan pay back tenfold or a hundredfold for the humiliation he suffered today.
Zhuang Yan patted his head lightly, as if he were patting a dog: "Since you've already knelt down, I'll forgive you. I hope you'll learn your lesson and not try to frame me again."
The director, a man who had seen his share of big events, quickly chimed in to support Zhuang Yan's stance, saying, "Let's just let this go; don't take it to heart."
Zhuang Yan put down his hand, turned to the director and asked, "Director, how should we arrange the rooms next? I'd be happy to share a room with Gu Qian."
Gu Qian had just been helped up and hadn't even stood up properly when he heard Zhuang Yan's words. He staggered and said fiercely, "I don't want to share a room with him!" He was afraid he wouldn't even know how he was beaten to death.
After this incident, the director dared not arrange for them to share a room again.
"Since all four of you are here, let's discuss it." The director looked at Lu Yan and asked, "What about you? Do you want to change rooms?"
Lu Yan affectionately linked arms with Jiang Ning: "Jiang Ning and I are living together just fine, so we won't switch."
An Xinrong bit her lip: "Director, please change the bed in my room to two single beds. I'm not used to sleeping in one."
"good."
The female guests had already discussed it, and the male guests weren't going to hesitate either. Ling Xuan said he didn't care who he lived with.
Fang Chen: "In that case, I'll share a room with Zhuang Yan, and Ling Xuan and Gu Qian can share a room. I'll move my luggage when I get back."
Gu Qian had no say; as long as he didn't live with Zhuang Yan, he could share a room with anyone else.
Zhuang Yan smiled but didn't say anything.
After successfully arranging the rooms, the director breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then let's go back. It's time to go back and make lunch."
On the way back, Gu Qian and Xia Wan rode in the same car, and there were no live-streaming cameras in the car.
The driver was one of their own, so nothing they talked about would get out.
Once inside the car, Gu Qian could hardly contain his emotions. He clenched his fist and slammed it against the car door: "Zhuang Yan did it on purpose, Xia Wan, you have to believe me. He was the one who knocked me unconscious last night and kicked me off the bed. I don't know why the hospital didn't find anything."
After Xia Wan got into the car, she subconsciously looked in the rearview mirror. When she saw her swollen face, her eyes reddened, and she pinched her thigh muscles tightly with her fingertips.
Xia Wan shifted her gaze: "I believe you, but you can't produce any evidence, so you can only suffer in silence."
Gu Qian was extremely unwilling to accept this.
"Zhuang Yan isn't the type to cause trouble. There must be a reason why he hit you. Did you say something to provoke him?"
Gu Qian was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xia Wan in disbelief: "Wanwan, do you think I'm the kind of person who likes to cause trouble? He beat me up for no reason."
Gu Qian's voice was rather harsh and unpleasant, giving Xia Wan a headache. Xia Wan frowned and clicked her tongue impatiently.
The emotionally charged Gu Qian failed to notice Xia Wan's unusual behavior. He angrily retorted, "Don't forget, you're my fiancée now. You should think about me!"
Gu Qian said a lot, but Xia Wan remained unmoved.
