Lin Jingyu gripped Li Duo's arm tightly. "Li Duo, what did that person say? What exactly did he say about me?"
Li Duo looked at her and said, "He didn't say anything, he just showed my father and me a video."
Lin Jingyu collapsed to the ground.
She choked back tears and said, "I wasn't the one that night, so you're not going to get engaged to me?"
Li Duo didn't speak, he just looked at her silently.
Lin Jingyu cried, "Your attitude changed just because I wasn't the one that night?"
Li Duo reached out and helped her into the lounge. "You were the one that night, so you are my responsibility."
He took away a woman's innocence, and he should be responsible for her.
Lin Jingyu's eyes were red. "Responsibility? You've been with me, pampered me, taken care of me, and been considerate of me. Isn't that because you love me, but because of responsibility?"
Li Duo said calmly, "Jing Yu, I'm sorry."
Lin Jingyu shook her head; she simply didn't believe it.
Li Duo treated her well, protected her in the entertainment industry, and even used Wen Shu as a tool for her sake. Now, he actually says it's because of a sense of responsibility?!
What about her sense of superiority and pride in feeling unique that she has had for so long?
Lin Jingyu collapsed to the ground, asking in a low voice, "Is it because of Wen Shu? Is it because Wen Shu slept with you, so you developed feelings for each other, right?"
Li Duo looked at her and said, "It has nothing to do with anyone else. I think someone must have told you that before the engagement ceremony, I mentioned breaking off the engagement between our two families."
“You weren’t like this before!” Lin Jingyu suddenly looked up. “You said you would be good to me, take care of me, and that I could come to you for anything. But after you got Wen Shu, you stopped loving me.”
"It has nothing to do with anyone else. This is purely between the two of us. I will still help you with anything now, but not in the same way as before."
Lin Jingyu choked up and couldn't say a word.
Li Duo said, "My father also saw the video..."
Lin Jingyu screamed and covered her ears, "Stop talking!"
She didn't want to mention the video at all, nor did she want to remember that person's face.
Why today of all days? Why did that person have to show up at her engagement party? Why is everything she has to be destroyed?
Why?
Lin Jingyu, with red and swollen eyes, looked up at him and asked, "What do you want now?"
Li Duo sighed silently, "Jing Yu, things have escalated to this point, there's no need to continue."
Lin Jingyu burst into tears. If the matter were exposed, her career would be ruined!
Li Duo looked down at her and said, "You are a public figure, and I don't want to ruin your career. Besides, you have an endorsement contract with Li's Group. I'm giving you a chance to save face."
Lin Jingyu looked up at him, "What opportunity?"
Li Duo said, "You dump me."
Lin Jingyu opened his mouth, but he would rather be dumped and become the target of public criticism than get engaged to her!
She asked, "Did you ever love me?"
Li Duo looked at her expressionlessly: "Jing Yu, there's no point in asking now."
Lin Jingyu's eyes darkened little by little. "You gave me this opportunity. No matter what method I use to announce the annulment of the engagement, you won't blame me, right?"
Li Duo nodded. "Yes."
Lin Jingyu twitched the corner of his mouth. "Fine. You said it!"
Inside the empty room, Li Duo propped himself up on his arms and looked out the window without saying a word.
Li Liangfeng rushed in from outside, "President Li!"
Li Duo turned to look at him, "Where did you go just now?"
Li Liangfeng walked up to his ear and whispered, "I've already passed on the order to stop the investigation, but they already had the results by then."
Li Duo didn't even look up. "The one who shared a room with Lin Jingyu that night was Ma Biao."
Li Liangfeng was taken aback. "You know?"
Li Duo straightened up. "Ma Biao just caused a scene at the engagement ceremony with a video of him and Lin Jingyu."
Li Liangfeng pursed his lips and handed him a document. "I had a paternity test done on you and that child."
Li Duo paused, staring at the paternity test report that Li Liangfeng handed him. "Who told you to do this?"
Li Liangfeng replied, "There are too many suspicious points, forcing me to go against your wishes."
"Have you seen it?"
Li Liangfeng shook his head. "The seal is still on."
The engagement ceremony has resumed.
The emcee tried his best to ignore the impact of being interrupted during the ceremony and spoke enthusiastically as he transitioned between events.
The guests have resumed their cheerful conversation.
After all, Ma Biao had a bad reputation, and everyone had long heard about his mutual revenge with Li Duo.
To put it bluntly, Ma Biao's words are not credible. Moreover, Ma Jun and Long Xiaosheng just apologized in public on Ma Biao's behalf.
Just when everyone thought that Li Duo and Lin Jingyu's engagement was going smoothly, Lin Jingyu suddenly said, "Wait a minute!"
The emcee looked at her, and Lin Jingyu took the microphone from her.
Lin Jingyu said loudly, "Distinguished guests, good afternoon. I am Lin Jingyu, the bride at today's engagement ceremony."
"There's something I want to tell everyone. Today is my engagement ceremony with Li Duo, and it's also the ceremony where I break off our engagement."
These words caused an uproar throughout the room!
Everyone stared at her in shock. "What happened?"
Lin's parents stood up anxiously, "Jingyu, what are you saying?"
Standing on the stage, Lin Jingyu looked at her parents with tears in her eyes and said softly, "Dad, Mom, I'm sorry, there are some things I have to say, I'll go crazy if I don't say them soon."
Lin's parents stood there, looking at Lin Jingyu with heartache. "Jingyu, what exactly happened?"
Lin Jingyu choked up, took a deep breath, and said, "Today should be a happy day, but I can't be happy at all."
“I’ve always dreamed of marrying Li Duo, but today, we have to part ways.”
“I was abroad for four years and we were separated for four years. I thought our relationship was rock solid because we maintained close contact during those four years.”
"But... only recently did I realize that time can destroy everything. During the time I was away, he had another woman!"
Lin Jingyu sobbed as she spoke.
At this moment, Wen Shu was looking down at her phone. In the class group chat, the class monitor was relaying some notices from the school to her.
Lin Jingyu suddenly pointed at Wen Shu and said loudly, "It's this Miss Wen who's here for the banquet!"
Wen Shu suddenly looked up, staring at Lin Jingyu. What did this have to do with her?!
“The last time they checked into a hotel was two months ago at the Golden Summit Club, and today, she even came to my engagement party. I feel this is an insult and a provocation.”
"I'm done!"
Lin Jingyu sobbed, "On this important day, I've decided I'll never wrong myself again. I never want to live those days that caused me pain, confusion, hesitation, and torment again. I want to end it all!"
