BXBX NOVEL Chapter 232: 232 He Was Shocked_1
“Xiaoyun! Xiaoyun, it’s not about money… it’s about all these years we’ve been together, how I paid for your college tuition, how I supported you. I’ve also put in a lot of cost, even took out a loan to buy a wedding house for our marriage. All these add up to quite a sum of money. If you’re really willing to give me a million! I think I might consider exiting this relationship.”
Apparently, Xun Yixuan is moved.
He wants to take that million!
It seems the amount Gu Yuanzhou offered him wasn’t high, which made him waver.
In that case, my plan might have a chance to succeed.
“Alright, please clear out of here!”
Just as this issue was about to be resolved.
Gu Yuanzhou suddenly stepped forward, blocking Xun Yixuan,
“One million! She won’t give it to you, this woman is a master of deception! Even if she gives you the money now, she’ll turn around and report you for fraud. You’ll lose everything and face the risk of imprisonment. You’ll have enough to dine in jail for ten years because of that million.”
Upon hearing this, Xun Yixuan instantly backs out.
He turns his head and resumes his performance.
“Xiaoyun, forget about the money, our feelings can’t be bought by money. I love you! You can’t just desert me!”
“Mr. Xun, didn’t you just lose your resolve at the sight of a million? How come you’re wavering again?”
I look at him sarcastically.
Xun Yixuan came prepared, he kneels right before me, clasping my legs.
“Xiaoyun, when we first got together, I supported your studies, spending all my money on you. Now I’m terminally ill, and you’re kicking me away like I’m nothing. That’s too cruel. If you don’t care about me, I have nowhere else to go.”
“Xiaoyun! Xiaoyun, whenever you needed money, I gave it to you! In order to pay your tuition, I deprived myself of food and clothes every month, spending all my earnings on you. Now how can you use money to mock me, aren’t you too cruel!”
I could never have imagined that a man could be so shameless.
Because of his stirring and emotional provocation, some people who don’t know the truth, or are undecided, begin to whisper.
“Hey, how could the heroine do this?! Her ex-boyfriend was so good to her and she just dumped him, that’s too over the line!”
“Exactly! This is what we call exploiting people to the fullest, tossing them aside when they’re of no more use. That’s really unsporting!”
“This guy is really pitiful, how did he end up with such a woman?”
“It’s strange that the heroine’s family didn’t come to the engagement ceremony, they must be too embarrassed, right?”
The voices of the crowd are getting louder.
Gu Yuanzhou, with his arms crossed and a smirk on the corner of his lips, looks quite delighted, apparently enjoying the turn of events.
Upon hearing such words, Wenya becomes angry and starts arguing with a bystander.
The situation has deteriorated to an embarrassing level.
And faced with such a turn of events, I’m at a loss.
I don’t know Xun Yixuan at all, nor the past between these two.
If I speak out indiscriminately and say something wrong, it might just give the crowd more ammunition to attack me.
The situation is rapidly sliding towards an unpredictable outcome.
I wonder, is everything I’ve carefully planned going to be ruined by Gu Yuanzhou today?
Just when I’m at my wits’ end, Ding Yinuo steps out briskly.
“Yinuo!”
I look at him anxiously, thinking, for the sake of not implicating him or the Ding family, I might as well call off the engagement.
But Ding Yinuo gives me a determined look,
“Don’t worry, I’ll handle it!”
I nod.
Ding Yinuo reaches out and pulls up Xun Yixuan who’s on his knees.
“Brother! As the saying goes, a man’s knees have gold beneath them. We men should stand up straight. Kneeling should be reserved for heaven, earth, and our parents, not for begging. You’re just making a fool out of yourself.”
Xun Yixuan is dead set, refusing to stand up.
“You home-wrecker, what right do you have to comment on me and Xiaoyun?”
Ding Yinuo doesn’t get upset, he just laughs. He moves forward, grabs Xun Yixuan’s arm, and somehow,
It seems like he has hit Xun Yixuan where it hurts,
only to hear Xun Yixuan let out a painful cry, then he abruptly stands up.
He points at Ding Yinuo, “You dare to hurt me? You want to fight with me in front of all these people?”
Xun Yixuan is like a provocative ruffian, he simply wants to make a big deal out of this, emboldened by the fact that he has nothing to lose.
Ding Yinuo, on the other hand, remains calm,
“Fight? Seems like you’ve been using such a barbaric way to solve problems. Really crude, reckless and stupid. If Xiaoyun doesn’t like you anymore, I suggest you read more books!”
Xun Yixuan is furious, his voice hoarse and his face flushed as he curses.
“You’ve read a lot of books, haven’t you?! You’ve read so much that you’ve learned to poach other people’s partners, haven’t you?! Your Ding family is rich, but your thoughts are so dirty and vulgar. Taking someone else’s wife is like digging up their ancestors’ graves!”
Ding Yinuo remains steady, the expression on his face calm and composed, perfectly matching his scholarly garb.
Tackling Xun Yixuan’s clamor with ease, he raises his chin, straightening his back.
“You said you paid for Xiaoyun’s tuition! Tell me, how much money did you spend, where did it all go? I’ll pay you back double.”
Xun Yixuan is a bit taken aback, it seems he did not expect Ding Yinuo to ask him this.
He ruminates for a moment, then starts,
“Tuition! Four years of college, I paid her tuition every year.”
“Oh, do you have any receipts from the checks? Did you make a bank transfer or was it WeChat transfer? These should all have records, right? Don’t lie, one of my friends works at a bank and can check the transaction history!”
Xun Yixuan’s eyes flickered after listening,
“The money was given in person, where would there be any transfer records?”
Ding Yinuo sneers,
“As far as I know, when Song Xiaoyun was in college, you were also in college. And your family’s financial situation is worse than Song’s, and after Song Xiaoyun started working, you were still pursuing your master’s degree! So, you didn’t actually give Song Xiaoyun any tuition at all, on the contrary, she gave you her salary after she started working, in addition to that, she has been tutoring to earn money during her four years in University, and I’m afraid all that money went to you!”
Xun Yixuan’s face turns slightly red,
“You’re talking nonsense!”
Ding Yinuo says,
“I have your roommate’s phone number, I heard, you used to brag about how willing your girlfriend was to spend money on you in front of them, want me to connect the call?”
Xun Yixuan goes pale, he quickly changes the topic,
“Let’s not talk about what happened in college, but she shouldn’t have betrayed me and deserted me when I’m diagnosed with a terminal illness!”
Ding Yinuo laughs lightly,
“Seems like fate is really incredible! I’m a doctor at the First City Hospital. Come on, tell me, what terminal illness have you got? I’ll cure it for free!”
Xun Yixuan gets extremely nervous,
“You’re lying, you say you’re a doctor, do you have any evidence!”
Ding Yinuo calmly points into the audience.
“See over there? All of them are my colleagues from the hospital! Come on, stand up and show him, we’ve got experts from all departments! Any disease you’ve got, we’ll sort it out for you.”
