Chapter 742 Gong Lian Turns Against Her
Is it all because of Nan Chu?
Upon hearing this, Xu Chen looked incredulous and remained stunned for a long time. After a while, he finally reacted and asked her, "Qingyi, is what you said true? It's those thugs that Nan Chu hired? Did I hear that right?"
Didn't the thugs Nan Chu hired just beat her up and warn her to stay away from them?
Did she also hire the second group of thugs?
But he had clearly asked her before, and she denied it, so he didn't think much of it and assumed it was Sang Ruoshuo's...
Could it be that she deliberately lied to herself?
Upon thinking of this, Xu Chen's face darkened.
“Brother Chen, you heard right, it really was her!” Wen Qingyi pointed at Lu Nanchu and roared, “She just admitted it herself. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Gong Lian. He heard everything.”
She simply couldn't believe that with Gong Lian as a witness and Xu Chen present, Lu Nanchu could still act as arrogantly as before!
Xu Chen's gaze immediately fell on Gong Lian, who was about to leave: "Mr. Gong, is what Qingyi just said true?"
Lu Nanchu was originally preparing to leave, but upon hearing these words, her peripheral vision instantly fell upon this strange man.
"It's not true."
Gong Lian's answer surprised everyone: "What Miss Wen just said was all fabricated by her. The facts are not as she said."
Isn't that right?
This completely confused Xu Chen, who was now at a loss as to whose words he should believe.
Logically, he should believe Wen Qingyi's words, but he couldn't ignore Gong Lian's denial just now.
Are these two playing a battle of wits? Between them, who is telling the truth and who is lying?
Who can tell him?
Wen Qingyi never expected Gong Lian to betray her: "Gong Lian, what did you just say? You said that I made all these things up? Didn't you hear everything Miss Lu just said? Why did you give her false testimony?!"
"Tell me the truth, what exactly is your relationship with her? Why are you always taking her side and not mine?!"
She was clearly the woman he was closest to, so why did he keep helping Lu Nanchu?
"Mr. Gong, please tell me the truth, what exactly happened?!" Xu Chen's voice was tinged with impatience.
The two of them have conflicting opinions and different versions of events, so who should he believe?
He was truly confused.
Gong Lian frowned, completely ignoring Wen Qingyi's anger, and said to himself, "I just said that all of this was fabricated by Wen Qingyi. Think about it, how could Miss Lu, who holds a high position and great power, possibly do such a thing?"
"Young Master Xu, don't you think that doubting your fiancée and siding with other women is an insult to Miss Lu? Do you think you've lived up to the trust Miss Lu has placed in you?!"
In the end, Gong Lian even started to teach Xu Chen a lesson on behalf of Lu Nanchu.
They simply refused to speak up for Wen Qingyi, making their stance quite clear.
Wen Qingyi was already feeling wronged because she had inexplicably lost her child, and when she saw that Gong Lian had turned against her, she exploded: "Gong Lian! Shut up! When did I make things up? Every word I said was the truth! There wasn't a single lie! Is it fair to me to slander me like this?"
Why did he treat her like that? She was clearly the victim, yet he sided with the perpetrator…
Why?
"How is it unfair?" Gong Lian didn't think he had done anything wrong at all: "Don't forget how many heinous things you did to Sang Ruo! You are getting what you deserve! Who can you blame but yourself!"
She was too greedy, wanting to have the love of both him and Bo Jinyan at the same time, and in the end, she got nothing.
Everything has returned to square one.
Whose fault is it if not hers? Even if the child she lost was his own, he wouldn't feel any sympathy for her.
He reaps what he sows, and he has to bear the consequences.
The tears that had been welling up in Wen Qingyi's eyes finally rolled down her cheeks. Her voice choked with sobs as she said, "Gong Lian, can you please stop treating me like this? Perhaps I did many wrong things in the past, but I've been trying my best to make amends! What more do you want from me?"
"Do you have to make me lose everything before you realize I was wrong?!"
Moreover, these are two different things and should not be confused.
But he ended up mixing the two things together, siding with Lu Nanchu, and coming here to judge her?
Whose fiancé is he anyway? He should have been on her side!
"What have you made up for? You just got pregnant, is that what you call making up for it?" Gong Lian couldn't see any way she had made up for it. "Wen Qingyi, I advise you to give up. Don't overestimate yourself and try to reach for things that don't belong to you."
Even if you obtain it temporarily, it is only temporary. What does not belong to you will never belong to you. Even if you possess it temporarily, you will eventually lose it.
Wen Qingyi didn't speak, but quietly watched him as tears streamed down his face.
Seeing that their argument was going on and on, Lu Nan found it rather pointless and quietly turned and left.
After watching Lu Nanchu leave, Gong Lian ignored the heartbroken Wen Qingyi and turned to leave as well.
With two people gone, the ward seemed to return to its original quiet. Xu Chen sighed deeply, somewhat wistfully, "How did things get like this between you and your fiancé?"
At first, he thought that their quarrel was just a minor one, and that although the engagement was dissolved, it was probably just said in anger, and that he would return to Qingyi's side soon.
But judging from the situation today, it seems that Gong Lian really can't return to Qingyi's side.
If the words have been spoken so resolutely, how could there possibly be any chance of making up?
"I don't know how things turned out like this." Wen Qingyi felt very wronged: "We agreed to stay together from the beginning, but he changed his mind so easily, without considering my feelings at all, and without caring that I just had a miscarriage and suffered severe physical and mental trauma..."
He just left...
She had hoped to use this opportunity to return to his side, but Gong Lian clearly did not give her that chance.
Xu Chen felt sorry for her, but he still needed to clarify things: "So what exactly happened just now? Did Nan Chu arrange for your miscarriage?"
They each had their own version of events, and he didn't even know who to believe.
If it really is Nan Chu, then this woman is simply too terrifying.
If he were to live with a woman like that in the future, and they were to become each other's bedmates, he would be so terrified that he wouldn't be able to sleep.
