Zhang Lijuan thought this matter was very strange. First of all, Xiaoxue and Lu Xuan usually had a good relationship.
Xiaoxue is not an unreasonable person. As for Lu Xuan, Zhang Lijuan feels that she understands him better.
He is active in work, eager to learn and motivated. At a young age, he was appointed Secretary-General of the National Development and Reform Commission. He has a bright future.
"Xiaoxue, sister-in-law, I have something to say. I think there might be some misunderstanding between you two. I know Lu Xuan's character too well. I..."
"Sister-in-law, I hope more than anyone else that this is a misunderstanding, but unfortunately it's not. We've been in a relationship for five years, and I never thought he would be this kind of person."
Lu Xuan gave a bitter smile: "What kind of person? What kind of person do you think I am? If you really knew what kind of person I am, you wouldn't embarrass me at this time."
Xiaoxue's eyes were dim, but her tone was exceptionally firm:
"You are a hypocritical hypocrite, a beast in human clothing, a scumbag. Yes, that's who you are."
"Well, since I'm already a beast in human clothing, I'm going to watch from here. I don't believe I could do anything shameful."
Lu Xuan said as he quickly put the videotape into the VCR...
Lu Xuan watched the video with his mind blank.
Lu Xuan remembered the few lines of text on the screen at the end of the video very clearly:
This is just the appetizer, there will be follow-up videos later, so please watch.
Amid Xiaoxue's soft sobs and his sister-in-law's sighs, Lu Xuan finally came to his senses.
He cleared his throat, and luckily, he was able to make a sound:
"Xiaoxue, the man in the video is me, but I have no idea when or where it happened."
"Although the video is blurry, the luxury of the interior is beyond my imagination. Perhaps I'm just too inexperienced. Is there such a luxurious hotel in Qingcheng?"
Xiaoxue cried, "Lu Xuan, are you mistaken? Is the key point about which hotel? Why are you avoiding the important point here?"
"Listen to me. Look at all that seaweed, coral, and all sorts of fish on the walls... Do you think they're fake? Don't you think this room is built on the ocean floor? What kind of person would have such power?"
Lu Xuan's voice was hoarse as he tried hard to search for this scene in his memory.
"Why don't I have any impression of this? Have you ever thought that this might be a conspiracy? My two fathers and I both hold important positions in government departments. Would a marriage between our two families affect certain..."
Xiaoxue immediately interrupted Lu Xuan: "Don't try to clear your name by dragging these two old men down with you. Even if someone framed you, is it that hard to hold onto your bottom line? I see you're quite proactive!"
At this moment, Lu Xuan was speechless. He knew that there was a dark hand behind the scenes controlling everything, but he had no choice but to let himself be deeply involved in it.
Lu Xuan forced a bitter smile on his helpless face. "Xiaoxue, our relationship has been too smooth these past few years, so this final step has put us to such a big test. To be honest, I was completely unaware of this happening."
"You can be angry, break off the engagement, hit me, scold me, I accept it all. If you think I'm the kind of scumbag who can't control his lower body, I think these past few years have been in vain."
Zhang Lijuan held Xiaoxue's hand and said, "I've been living with my in-laws, Lu Xuan, since I got married. I'm not speaking well of him. I truly believe he was drugged and this happened while he was unconscious."
"It's obvious that their purpose is to prevent our two families from joining forces. Otherwise, why would they send the videotape to you at your wedding? It's clear that someone has ulterior motives."
Xiaoxue wiped away her tears and said firmly, "Sister-in-law, please stop trying to persuade me. Even if someone is really behind this, I don't believe he doesn't know anything..."
"I really..."
Xiaoxue interrupted Lu Xuan as soon as he started to speak: "Even if he doesn't know anything, I can't accept it. I can't stand being tortured by this videotape every day from now on."
"So, sister-in-law, I feel that what I'm doing will make my uncle and aunt sad, but I really have no choice. Please comfort the two old people for me!"
Zhang Lijuan tried to persuade them earnestly, "Xiaoxue, this is what's going on. There are so many guests waiting at the hotel right now, and the groomsmen and emcee outside must be getting anxious. How about this? You can just go with us to the hotel and go through the motions."
"After all, the fathers are all prominent figures in the officialdom. It wouldn't sound good if it got out, right? If you don't want to live in the new house privately, just come back home and Lu Xuan will definitely give you an explanation. Then you two will..."
"Sister-in-law, I've thought all this through clearly. Otherwise, we would be watching this videotape at the wedding in the hotel right now."
Xiaoxue choked up and said, "The reason I didn't make such a big fuss was because of the old man's face. But it doesn't mean that there is still room for easing the relationship between Lu Xuan and me. I don't want to say more about the other things."
Zhang Lijuan wanted to say something but was stopped by Lu Xuan: "Sister-in-law, don't say anymore. Xiaoxue has already made it very clear. So let it be!"
"Don't worry, I will find out everything, and I firmly believe that you will forgive me. Sooner or later, we will resolve our differences. I am not in a hurry. Sister-in-law, let's go!"
Xiaoxue snorted coldly, "I forgot to tell you, I'm going abroad for further studies next Monday. I've already made the arrangements there, so please come with me to the Civil Affairs Bureau in the next few days."
Lu Xuan was stunned for a moment. "Why are you so anxious? No, can you please not make such an impulsive decision on this matter?"
