Was the man a scumbag who tricked her into marriage? A powerful man brought his child to her door de

Having walked some distance ahead, Su Wanqing turned around and saw Yan Xuxu and Mu Nan together. She deliberately said, "A-Zhou, don't you think Assistant Mu is being overly respectful to Yan Xuxu?"

"What do you mean?"

Shen Mingzhou paused, a flicker of suspicion crossing his eyes.

Su Wanqing said sarcastically, "Ming'an Group has so many professional technologies, yet the Xie family chose Yan Xuxu to report on their work."

"For the past six months, Yan Xuxu has been dealing with the Xie family and must have had a lot of contact with Assistant Mu. Do you think the two of them might...?"

"She won't!"

Before Su Wanqing could finish speaking, Shen Mingzhou interrupted her firmly, "She loves me to death and would never be involved with other men."

Su Wanqing continued, "Even if they didn't sleep together, every time Yan Xuxu came home drunk, can you believe she wasn't touched?"

Shen Mingzhou's heart skipped a beat when he recalled that morning when Yan Xuxu said she was quitting in a bad mood.

Did something happen at that social gathering?

Shen Mingzhou's brow twitched, and his breathing became heavier. "I told you, Yan Xuxu won't, and she won't."

She loved him so much that she went out to do business for him all these years without complaint or regret.

How could a woman who is so loyal to him possibly betray him?

Seeing him so protective of Yan Xuxu, Su Wanqing gritted her teeth in resentment.

Before she could say anything more, she looked up and saw several familiar figures in the crowd. She immediately took Shen Mingzhou's arm and walked over with a smile.

Regardless of whether Shen Mingzhou believes it or not.

She would absolutely not let Yan Xuxu get away with it.

The birthday banquet was a grand affair, attended by all the most prominent figures in the country.

Several of the faces are lifelike and familiar.

Besides the mayor of Kyoto, several people from the central government also came, including several big names in the scientific research community. Although Yan Xuxu had never met them, she had heard of them quite a bit in the scientific research circle.

Mu Nan led Yan Xuxu to a spot and said, "Miss Yan, please rest for a while. Mr. Xie will come to find you in a little while."

Yan Xuxu smiled slightly, "Okay, you can go ahead and get busy."

Mu Nan turned and left.

Having barely eaten lunch, Yan Xuxu was starting to feel the strain.

When I first came in, I saw a self-service station with lots of snacks and treats on it. I was about to go and grab some when I ran into Su Wanqing and Shen Mingzhou chatting and laughing on the way.

Standing in front of the two were none other than members of the Yan family.

Since severing ties with the Yan family, Yan Xuxu has not had any contact with them for four or five years.

Although she knew the Yan family would be attending, seeing their harmonious and warm family scene still stirred up ripples in Yan Xuxu's heart, like a small stone being thrown in.

She pretended not to see and turned to leave, just as she heard Yan Minmin say enviously, "Sister, your dress is so beautiful! Where did you buy it? It must have been expensive, right?"

"A-Zhou helped me choose it, it cost a full five million." Su Wanqing's boastful voice was clearly audible.

Yan Xuxu looked up at Su Wanqing and finally remembered why Su Wanqing's dress looked familiar.

It turns out that it's from the same store as the outfit she's wearing.

She initially liked this dress too, but the shopkeeper said it had already been reserved, so she had to give up and choose something else.

Unexpectedly, the person who made the reservation was Shen Mingzhou.

Yan Xuxu couldn't help but take a few more glances at Su Wanqing.

Su Wanqing has a voluptuous figure, and the strapless design accentuates her impressive cleavage, making her alluring and eye-catching.

At this moment, Shen Mingzhou held her close, his face full of affection, and said, "As long as Wanqing likes it, it's worth spending any amount of money."

Yan Xuxu recalled that the compensation he gave her each time was usually one million.

But when it comes to Su Wanqing, he readily offers her an evening gown worth five million.

Love and not love have long been separated by a dividing line.

She realized it too late!

"I'm sorry, miss, I didn't mean to."

A waiter carrying drinks passed by her and accidentally bumped into her, spilling the drinks on her evening gown. He apologized hastily.

The group of people chatting ahead all turned around to look at them.

Under the dazzling and magnificent crystal chandelier, Yan Xuxu, dressed in a beige evening gown that accentuated her snow-white skin, wore a bewildered expression due to the sudden accident.

Shen Mingzhou was the first to react. A hint of panic flashed in his eyes. He immediately released his arm from Su Wanqing's and strode towards her, scolding the waiter in a low voice.

"Why are you so clumsy? You've dirtied her evening gown. Can you afford to pay for it?"

At home, he always calls his wife "wife" or "wife".

In public, simply refer to her as "her".

To prove his loyalty to his beloved's family, he no longer bothered to pretend.

Yan Xuxu didn't even glance at Shen Mingzhou, and said indifferently to the waiter, "It's nothing, you can go back to your work."

"Thank you, miss, thank you, miss."

The waiter thanked him profusely before turning and leaving.

Her chest was soaked and stained with wine; the off-white fabric had become transparent, vaguely revealing the beautiful scenery underneath.

Shen Mingzhou took off his coat to drape it over her shoulders, but she suddenly raised her hand to cover her chest. The expensive suit jacket fell to the ground in a disheveled state before it even touched her skin.

"I need to go to the restroom to take care of something. Excuse me."

After saying that, she turned to leave.

Yan Minmin's voice, however, came through with ill intent, "Oh, who do we have here? It's my dear older sister."

She deliberately dragged out the word "sister," making it so sticky and nauseating.

The Yan family must have gone to great lengths for tonight's banquet. Yan Minmin's evening gown alone must have cost at least several million, and the jewelry she wore was also quite valuable.

With her exquisite makeup, she truly exudes the air of a sophisticated socialite.

pity--

This mouth of hers can't be controlled; she's just like a black crow mingling in the socialite circle!

Yan Xuxu stared at her expressionlessly for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed. "I don't remember my mother giving birth to a sister this big. Miss Yan, you'd better not make any unfounded claims of kinship, otherwise..."

She looked up at Yan Zhengmin, her smile wide and bright, "The fact that President Yan brought his mistress and illegitimate daughter into the house and drove his wife to her death will probably be known to everyone tonight."

Upon hearing this, Yan Zhengmin's expression changed drastically, and he angrily rebuked her, "You insolent thing, your mother died of illness on her own, what does it have to do with us?"

"Yes, she died of illness, but if you hadn't angered her, how could my mother have passed away so young!"

There was still a chance.

It was because she heard the news that Yan Zhengmin had brought Chen Xuelan and Yan Minmin home that her mother was so angry that she died.

These murderers are now shamelessly claiming that they have nothing to do with it!

"Stop throwing mud at us. Your mother is barely clinging to life. Even if we hadn't come home, she would have died sooner or later." Yan Minmin crossed her arms, her face full of arrogance.

Yan Xuxu's hand curled into a fist little by little, her nails digging into her palm, and pain shot through her.

She looked at the indifferent faces.

The hatred buried deep in my heart grew wildly, like a sapling breaking through the soil.
