Chapter 539 Embarrassment
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Liang Zhou did not spare Mu Qing a glance as she continued to say tonelessly, “And the person he’s cheating on me with is… the fake Song Ning in the Mu family house!”
Mu Qing could no longer hold back anymore. He rushed over and grabbed Liang Zhou’s wheelchair as he roared, “What nonsense are you spouting? Are you crazy?”
Xiao Yu desperately blocked Mu Qing, “Sir, Madam hasn’t finished speaking!”
Mu Qing raised his hand and slapped Xiao Yu, causing her to stumble back. He said angrily, “Were you the one who put these ridiculous ideas in her head?”
Xiao Yu covered her cheek and stubbornly used her body to protect Liang Zhou.
Liang Zhou gently patted Xiao Yu’s back and forced Xiao Yu to stand aside. Then, she looked up at Mu Qing and said, “Talking nonsense? Why don’t you wait until I’m finished and let everyone judge? If I’m slandering you, you can sue me and let the law punish me.”
Liang Zhou’s gaze, expression, and tone were indifferent.
Mu Qing was stunned by her indifference. Such an indifferent Liang Zhou was exactly like the Liang Zhou from 20 years ago. It was this unique temperament of hers that attracted his eyes back then. It was from then on that he embarked on a path of no return. After spending so many years together, the carefree and cold Liang Zhou from back then had been molded into the person he wanted her to become. To him, Liang Zhou did not own herself; Liang Zhou was his. She was Mu Qing’s Liang Zhou.
However, Mu Qing felt a chill in his heart now as he looked at frail Liang Zhou who longer had the respect and obedience she usually showed to him.
Mu Qing had never felt so embarrassed before. He could feel everyone’s eyes burning a hole into his body at this moment.
At this time, Ning Zhe said frostily, “Mr. Mu, what’s the meaning of this? Let her finish speaking before you make a commotion!”
Ning Zhe’s anger was no less than Mu Qing’s. To him, it was incredibly embarrassing that he had mistaken another person for Ning Xia. Not only that, the matter was related to his interest and the Ning family’s interest! He really did not expect the matter to be so complicated, filled with twists and turns. Alas, he had nowhere to vent his anger.
When he heard Liang Zhou’s shocking words, he felt like he was going to explode.
Then, Ning Zhe turned to Liang Zhou and said coldly, “Mrs. Mu, you have to speak based on evidence. Otherwise, be careful that you’re sued for defamation.”
Liang Zhou smiled at Ning Zhe. “I didn’t expect Chairman Ning to also be involved in this matter. Ye Xin is really capable.”
Upon hearing these words, everyone turned to look at Ye Xin. At this time, there was no one who did not understand what was going on.
Areporter asked loudly, “Madam Mu, can you please continue to tell us what’s going on?” “That’s right, Madam Mu! Tell us the things you know so we can put the rumors to rest!” someone said encouragingly.
The reporters who were looking for Liang Zhou’s next words helped her to stop Mu Qing from interfering.
Mu Qing was livid as he glared at Mu Chen. “Do you think this is a good thing? The Mu family’s reputation is completely tarnished! What’s in it for you?”
Mu Chen ignored Mu Qing’s anger and said with a faint smile, “What reputation? If we hide things now, it’d be even worse. What do you mean by tarnishing the family’s reputation? When the truth is revealed, only those who’re involved in the matter will be affected. It has nothing to do with the Mu family. With this, we can protect the Mu family and let the culprit be punished, right?” “You!” Mu Qing’s expression turned even more unsightly.
At this time, only Song Ning looked at Liang Zhou worriedly.
Liang Zhou nodded slightly at Song Ning, indicating she was fine.
Liang Zhou lifted the microphone again and softly said, “Everyone knows me as a homewrecker. I destroyed my own sister’s family, and I see now that it’s an unforgivable crime. For so many years, I told myself that my husband and I truly love each other. True love can only be right, no matter what. Why should true love be criticized? Hence, despite the criticisms, I walked around with my chin lifted and my back straight. I’d never lowered my head. I’d never felt that | was wrong. How could true love be wrong?
My convictions only came crashing down when I discovered there’s also a third party in my marriage.”
