Xu Zhuohua now understood that Chen Hede was just angry and didn't really want to kill the fake Liang Shaozun.
“Chen Hede, you’ve already avenged yourself. Don’t get stuck in this anymore. There’s no need to kill this fake. There really isn’t.”
The man frowned slightly, as if he was thinking, and after a moment he smiled and said, "I understand."
Xu Zhuohua asked in confusion, "What?"
Chen Hede sat back in his chair, casually crossing his legs. "You said it."
ah?
He was persuaded so easily? Xu Zhuohua was a little taken aback. This villain was a bit too easy to coax... wasn't he?
Well, now that he knows, I'd better leave quickly.
Before Xu Zhuohua's hand could even touch the doorknob, the door was pushed open from the outside.
With her impeccable makeup, Hu Moli looked at Xu Zhuohua in surprise, "Miss Xu?"
Xu Zhuohua's mind was racing. Hu Moli's new master was Chen Hede. She appeared wrapped in a bathrobe, and... she was too alluring, wasn't she?
Hu Moli covered her exposed chest and said, "Um, Miss Xu has something to discuss with Deputy Director Chen, I'll come back later."
Xu Zhuohua realized that a moment of passion is worth a thousand pieces of gold, and it was best not to be a third wheel.
She grabbed Hu Moli, who was about to leave, and pushed her inside, saying, "I'm fine now, I won't bother you anymore."
Xu Zhuohua closed the door, quietly slipped downstairs, and clutched her chest.
She was more excited than anyone involved when she discovered something that wasn't even recorded in unofficial histories.
It's like unlocking a hidden storyline while playing an escape room game—you've hit the jackpot!
Xu Zhuohua returned happily, and as soon as she looked up, she saw Cheng Muyun sitting in her idea seat, talking with Xu Jixin.
Xu Jixin saw Xu Zhuohua and waved: "Zhuohua, come here."
Cheng Muyun turned around, her eyes clear and deep, adding a touch of gentleness under the neon lights.
Xu Zhuohua swallowed hard, then walked over casually, "Hmm..."
Cheng Muyun tried to take Xu Zhuohua's hand, but she subtly dodged it.
Xu Jixin said, "My sister has already dissolved her engagement with the young marshal. The young marshal still needs to consider Zhuohua's reputation."
Xu Zhuohua moved closer to Xu Jixin, creating distance between them.
Cheng Muyun withdrew his hand. "My feelings for Zhuohua are genuine, and I will persuade my grandfather to change his mind."
Xu Zhuohua couldn't wait to sever ties with Cheng Muyun, as she didn't want to die unjustly.
As for his efforts to change Old Master Cheng's mind, there's no need for that.
"Didn't you go to the tailor shop with Miss Luo?"
Cheng Muyun blinked. "We happened to be passing by the Paramount Ballroom, and Yunqiao kept insisting on seeing Miss Hu."
This is a lie; they're clearly here to see a fake Liang Shaozun.
They still wanted to keep it from themselves.
Xu Zhuohua felt inexplicably angry.
I'm not saving you! Just die!
“Second Brother,” Xu Zhuohua tugged at Xu Jixin’s sleeve and shook it gently, “Let’s go, I’m a little tired.”
Xu Zhuohua is becoming increasingly adept at using her beauty.
She knew that Xu Jixin would not be able to bear refusing.
Xu Jixin smiled and patted Xu Zhuohua's arm. "Alright. Young Marshal Cheng, we'll head back now. My two younger sisters are tired."
Cheng Muyun gave Xu Zhuohua a deep look and said, "Okay, see you later."
"See you later."
Xu Zhuohua, in a fit of pique, ignored Cheng Muyun.
In fact, Xu Zhuohua herself didn't understand why she was angry, or why she was so angry.
For more than ten days in a row, Xu Zhuohua deliberately avoided Cheng Muyun and obediently followed Xu Jixin home.
He never went out of the Xu family home, only stayed in his room in a daze, or danced with Xinghua.
Cheng Muyun was persistent, sending a constant stream of tonics to the Xu family, saying it was to help Xu Zhuohua improve her health.
Xu Zhuohua did not show up, and the First Madam readily accepted. The engagement was off, and Xu Zhuohua could become a concubine, as it would benefit the Xu family anyway.
You can dodge the first day of the month, but you can't dodge the fifteenth.
There are three days left before Dongzhou is lost.
News of the unfair treatment received at the French conference has reached China, and the scholars in Zhen Dan are filled with righteous indignation.
The entire New Sea City is in chaos.
Xu Jixin, incited by someone, gathered in the crowd, waving his sleeves and shouting.
Xu Zhuohua waited listlessly at the door.
Xiao Wuxin walked out with his head down. Xu Zhuohua saw him and greeted him warmly, "Senior Brother Xiao!"
Xiao Wuxin responded coldly, "Xu Zhuohua."
Sensing something was wrong with him, Xu Zhuohua asked, "Senior Brother Xiao, what's wrong?"
Xiao Wuxin had been holding it in for too long and wanted to confide in someone, but no one could understand him. Fortunately, Xu Zhuohua could.
He grabbed Xu Zhuohua's wrist. "Come on, let's go get a coffee."
"ah?"
Xu Zhuohua was pulled away in a daze, walked into the coffee shop in a daze, and listened to Xiao Wuxin complaining to her in a daze.
"As a victorious nation, we are being treated worse than even the defeated nations!"
"We have completely disgraced our nation; the Western powers have never considered us as allies!"
"How despicable! Absolutely despicable! This unfair treatment is all thanks to a cowardly government."
Xu Zhuohua rested her chin on her hand and remained silent.
It's still relatively good now. When the news of the loss of Dongzhou comes in three days, that will be a real slap in the face for everyone.
Crisp and loud, devoid of any dignity.
Then, there will be even greater anger to be generated.
Xiao Wuxin continued to vent his resentment. He couldn't understand why the victorious nation was also treated unfairly, and he couldn't understand why China was so lowly.
"These... are things we all have to go through," Xu Zhuohua could only say.
