"I apologize? What am I apologizing for?"
As a supporting female character, she was truly helpless, especially since she was portrayed as a female supporting character who liked the male lead who was obsessed with romance, making her even more helpless.
"Bai Ling has her own hands and feet. I can knock her out and send her to Gu Zhun's bed."
Shen Beitang pointed at Bai Ling, who was still pretending to be innocent, and said, "Everyone saw how happy she was just now. Maybe they are in love, and you are the other woman in the relationship."
"You, you..." Although Shan Chengming didn't want to admit it, the image of Bai Ling standing next to Gu Zhun kept echoing in his mind. "Bai Ling, say something."
Bai Ling kept stammering, not daring to look Shan Chengming in the eye. Standing next to Gu Zhun, she felt an immense sense of satisfaction.
The envious and jealous gazes of thousands, the superior status...
“Brother Chengming, of course I’m on your side, but…” Bai Ling wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Shan Chengming.
"Bai Ling, your words are enough for me."
"I, Shan Chengming, hereby declare today, in front of all the distinguished families, that I am announcing my engagement with Shen Beitang. My only fiancée is Bai Ling!"
"!!!"
Wait, Shen Beitang was stunned. Shan Chengming, how could you say Gu Zhun's lines?!
"My only fiancée is Bai Ling."
Those were Gu Zhun's words asserting his dominance over Bai Ling! What did you say, and what was Gu Zhun supposed to say?
"Shan Chengming, take back what you just said."
Shen Beitang pulled Shan Chengming, wanting him to repeat himself, but to outsiders, she appeared to be a shameless scoundrel desperately trying to get Shan Chengming to come back.
"Shen Beitang, the person I love most in this life will never be you. Give up."
Shan Chengming looked at Shen Beitang with disdain, "A crazy woman like you is no better than an unwanted abandoned woman."
Shen Beitang didn't notice what the other person was saying; she looked past the crowd at Gu Zhun.
Gu Zhun stood firmly in place, watching them without a trace of emotion, showing no intention of making a move.
Your wife is about to be stolen away, aren't you going to come over? You're the big villain!
[Gu Zhun, come quick!]
The sight of Shen Beitang standing there blankly only made Shan Chengming feel even more disgusted.
"Get out of the way!"
Shan Chengming had no intention of holding back his strength, and Shen Beitang, caught off guard, could not withstand the push.
It was supposed to be a three-person drama, so why is it that she, the innocent supporting actress, is the one who gets hurt again...?
"Are you alright?"
A pair of strong arms held her firmly in their embrace.
"Oh, oh, it's nothing, thanks..."
Shen Beitang turned around and was met with Gu Zhun's devastatingly handsome face.
"Gu Zhun? What brings you here?"
"Didn't you send me?" Gu Zhun said in a low voice.
"This is my Gu family's territory, but I heard Young Master Shan seemingly slandering my Gu family members on my own turf."
Gu Zhun spoke slowly and softly, but it was enough for everyone present to hear him.
People in the business world know that Gu Zhun is not usually angry, but once he gets angry, that person will definitely die a horrible death.
Shan Chengming was surprised by Gu Zhun's sudden appearance. He hugged Bai Ling tightly and lowered his tone of voice.
"I don't quite understand what President Gu is saying. I've always been targeting Shen Beitang."
Upon seeing Gu Zhun, Shan Chengming recalled the image of Bai Ling standing with him, smiling radiantly, and felt a thorn stuck in his heart, causing him to speak recklessly.
"Furthermore, I'd like to ask Mr. Gu, why did you come downstairs with my fiancée?"
"I'd like to know why your fiancée suddenly appeared in my room?"
By focusing on one issue, Gu Zhun directly pointed the finger at Bai Ling.
Who would believe that a woman would enter a man's room without any purpose?
"I... I just happened to be passing by, and Mr. Gu happened to be unconscious, so I saved him."
When it came to her reputation, Bai Ling couldn't help but step forward to explain.
After listening, Gu Zhun slowly clapped his hands. "One is just right, the other is perfect. How come there are so many coincidences here with Miss Bai?"
You said you saved me?
Faced with Gu Zhun's scrutiny, Bai Ling could barely stand, but she still nodded. The words had already been spoken, so she could only continue to smooth things over.
Shen Beitang gently scratched Gu Zhun's palm and desperately signaled with her eyes.
Dude, what are you doing as a die-hard fan of Bai Ling?!
Shouldn't you use sweet words to Bai Ling and snatch her away from Shan Chengming?
Faced with Shen Beitang's frantic gestures, Gu Zhun simply patted her head and whispered.
"Stop fooling around."
Shen Beitang: "..."
I thought this was the worst that could happen, but then...
“Miss Bai, you are a liar. I remember it was Shen Beitang who saved me, not you, Bai Ling.”
"As for going down the stairs together, wasn't it you who shamelessly clung to me the whole time?"
What nonsense are you spouting, Gu Zhun!
Is this a massive fan exodus and backlash? Toxic solo stans are truly terrifying…
"There's one more thing I'd like to announce to everyone today."
Gu Zhun scooped up Shen Beitang, who was about to slip away, and held her tightly in his arms.
"Today is also the day of my engagement with Shen Beitang. My future wife will only be Shen Beitang."
After Gu Zhun finished speaking, he gently brushed away the stray hairs from Shen Beitang's forehead and placed a warm kiss on them.
"Miss Bai and Young Master Shan, please leave the Gu family. From now on, the Gu family will no longer do business with the Shan family."
Gu Zhun's casual remark had already decided the future of the Shan family.
With the Gu family having spoken, would any other family dare to acknowledge the Shan family? They'd only be waiting to die...
Dan Chengming stood there dumbfounded, unable to come to his senses for a long time. He had only wanted to vent his anger, how could this have happened...
Is the Shan family really going to be destroyed by its own hands?
Bai Ling never expected it to end like this. When she approached, Gu Zhun clearly didn't reject her; he liked her.
It must be Shen Beitang again! Why does he get all the benefits in the world?
——
"What, so happy you can't speak?" Gu Zhun said with a smile.
Happy my foot!
Shen Beitang collapsed weakly onto the sofa. Just because she saved him, she decided to repay him with her body?
"Mr. Gu, I think you've misunderstood something. Although I saved you, it was just a small favor. I would have saved even a dog."
Shen Beitang spoke earnestly, "If it had been an old lady who saved you back then, would you have married her too?"
Unexpectedly, Gu Zhun began to seriously consider it, saying, "If she's willing, it's not impossible."
"..."
The villain's way of thinking is indeed beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
"You said you had to be willing, so I'm not willing." Shen Beitang closed her eyes and went all out.
"Besides, as Shan Chengming has told me, I am now a crazy woman that no one wants. If you marry me, you will be lowering your status."
“That’s perfect.” Gu Zhun pointed to himself, then to Shen Beitang.
"I'm crazy, and you're crazy too. We're a perfect match."
[Someone please pry open Gu Zhun's head and see if it's filled with grass or shit!]
