In the bright exhibition hall, each piece of green porcelain is unique and beautiful, embodying the inspiration and wisdom of the creator, but now no one appreciates them anymore.
Tragedy descended like a vulture, suddenly snatching up its prey, which lay dormant on the plains without warning. Zhang Moyan surrendered to fate, her body frozen like a block of ice.
She saw Xiao Xingyu's throat move, and vaguely heard the two words "Mo Yan". In an instant, she was overwhelmed by the self-loathing that rose to the peak.
"Is that really the case?" Xiao Weizhou immediately came up to Zhang Moyan and asked seriously, "Is he talking about you? Are you Chen Guanfu's granddaughter, Chen Yun's child?"
Xiao Weijiang wanted to speak as well, but was stopped by a look from Xiao Huai. He seemed to have gained some understanding from Xiao Huai's expression and immediately changed his tone and said, "Since ancient times, heroes have been unable to resist the temptation of beautiful women. This is normal!"
Zhang Moyan seemed to have not heard Xiao Weizhou's question or Xiao Weijiang's attempt to smooth things over. She was still staring at Xiao Xingyu. Their eyes met as if across an abyss, and Zhang Moyan felt like she was in a freezing glacier in the abyss.
Xiao Wa stammered beside Xiao Xingyu, his voice weaker than a mosquito: "I, I just wanted to tell you this."
"Yes, she is our child. What's wrong?"
Zhang Moyan shuddered and turned her head suddenly, and found that it was Chen Guanfu who was replying.
Xiao Weijiang was so frightened that he froze for a moment. He immediately pointed at Chen Guanfu and asked Zhang Moyan, "So, your approach to Xing Yu and your appearance at our house were all instigated by him for a purpose?"
Although Xiao Weijiang was asking questions, his meaning was very certain. Zhang Moyan's mind was confused by his associations. A voice in her heart urged her to deny it, but how could she deny it?
Her blood relationship with Chen Guanfu was confirmed by medical institutions. Everyone had personally experienced the actions that Chen Guanfu and Chen Yun had taken against the celadon porcelain. No wonder people's first reaction was to think the worst. How could she possibly get rid of suspicion?
Xiao Weizhou gasped, turned around and asked Xiao Xingyu: "Do you know her identity?"
Xiao Xingyu and Zhang Moyan exchanged a glance, then walked over and said, "I know."
Zhang Moyan stared at Xiao Xingyu in shock, her heart pounding.
"You!" Xiao Weizhou raised his hand and almost hit her, but he clenched it into a fist mid-air. "Then why did you announce to us that you were dating her? You're dating such a dangerous person, and you... do you know what she's planning?"
"Dad, Mo Yan isn't a dangerous person," Xiao Xingyu said calmly and soberly, patiently explaining the situation to Xiao Weizhou. "Professor Chen was still searching for his family through the media two months ago. Mo Yan and I knew each other long before that, and her unit had already completed a special program for 'The Flame.' From the chronological order, we can infer that Mo Yan must have known about her identity as Professor Chen's granddaughter after she met us."
It was as if I missed a step and fell off a cliff, and was suddenly caught by someone.
No one could know what it was like for Zhang Moyan to hear such a clear and coherent speech at this critical moment!
"That's right," Xiaowa echoed in support, "Sister Mo Yan, a mere employee, how could she possibly influence the company's projects?"
"I don't believe it either," Zhou Xia also stepped forward, using her frail body to block Zhang Moyan. "Based on my interactions with Moyan since we met, I'm sure she's absolutely an amateur when it comes to porcelain. She's not a professionally trained spy to spy on us!"
"Zhou Xia, stay away from her!" Zhou Xia's mother ordered Zhou Xia and began to blast Xiao Xingyu: "Xingyu, you are the most outstanding young member of the Xiao family. Everyone places the family's hopes on you, so we usually tolerate your some outrageous behavior. However, this time, you were too careless about the right and wrong! Zhou Xia has admired you since she was a child. She imitates everything you do. I can't help but suspect that the reason she made the mistake today is because of the example you set for her. She was influenced by you!"
Zhou Xia rushed over immediately after hearing this: "Mom, that's not true! I'm not influenced by Brother Xing Yu, and Mo Yan and Geng Jun are not bad people. Please don't say such things and further deepen everyone's prejudice!"
"Prejudice?" Chen Guanfu sneered.
Watching this scene, Zhang Moyan's heart ached, her internal organs shattered! As fate would have it, Zhou Xia had once accused her of conspiring to get to know Xiao Xingyu for ulterior motives, yet she hadn't expected that the person who was trying so hard to defend her in public today was also Zhou Xia. Crucially, Zhou Xia himself was already struggling, yet he still stood up for her.
So what kind of a sorry existence is Zhang Moyan...
The situation had turned out like this, which was beyond her imagination. She didn't know who was worse off between her and Zhou Xia. She even felt very regretful. She felt that the scene of her standing up just now was simply presumptuous and ignorant of her own life.
Zhang Moyan used all her self-control to suppress the sharp pain in her heart and straightened her back. "Everyone, there is a fact I must clarify here. Xiao Wa hasn't seen us for a long time. He didn't understand the situation, so he said something that was misunderstood. In fact, Xiao Xingyu and I broke up a long time ago. It's a stretch to say that he and I are just ordinary friends now. Please rest assured that we will not be together."
She turned to Xiao Xingyu and raised her chin: "Xiao Xingyu, you told me that we are friends, right? You won't deny what you said, right?"
Xiao Xingyu pressed his lips into a straight line and stared at Zhang Moyan intently.
Zhang Moyan raised her head, a resentful expression on her burned face: "You expected this to happen, right? Haha, you're amazing!"
Everyone silently pondered the meaning behind Zhang Moyan's words.
"No," Zhou Xia shook his head in disbelief, "It's not like that..."
