Chapter 914: White Face, Red Face
If Xu Yuanze had to choose between the two of them, he would definitely side with Jing Yunzhao, even if it was their first meeting.
As for Chen Xi, he had never really understood this woman for more than twenty years. He couldn’t understand what she wanted, or rather, he didn’t want to understand her for a long time.
Their marriage was like a deal back then. He gave her a choice, and she did not hesitate. At that moment, he felt that Chen Xi had an unparalleled yearning and obsession for the life of a wealthy family. It made him feel that the infatuation and devotion she showed was like an act.
At the beginning of their marriage, for the sake of Xu Yu, who was still young, he had considered whether he should try to become a real husband and wife with Chen Xi, but it was only for a moment, because her appearance made him unable to resist.
She was sensible, elegant, and gentle. She used almost all her strength to get close to this circle. When she was unhappy, she was gentle and magnanimous. When she was mocked by others, she was also gentle and magnanimous, just like how she treated him. To put it bluntly, her reactions were not like a normal person, but more like a pre-set character. She tried her best to blend into that character at all costs, regardless of how close or distant she was, so that he felt that this woman would never be able to move his heart.
Jing Yunzhao might have Xu Xianlan’s blood in her veins, and she might have been taught by Grandpa Shen. These factors were more reliable than his own investigation.
At this moment, Xu Yuanze’s seemingly cold words made Chen Xi shiver. Her face trembled a few times before she adjusted herself. A gentle and aggrieved smile appeared on her face as she said,”Honey, Miss Jing misunderstood.”
“There’s something I haven’t told you. I knew long ago that Miss Jing and Father-in-law had come to the capital, but Father-in-law didn’t want to see us, so he told me not to tell you. This was also what Miss Jing personally told my sister, so I thought Miss Jing was just an ordinary girl from Huaning County. I wanted her to have fun, but I was afraid that she didn’t have enough money, so… I was being a busybody. I didn’t expect Miss Jing to be so capable that she even started a company…”
“Then what about the vixen just now…” Shen Xi glanced at the nervous Mrs. Wang and said with a smile,” Mrs. Wang was the one who said it. She was worried that Miss Jing might be a bad person because she looked like Xianlan.”
“Miss Jing, I apologize to you.”
Mrs. Wang was so angry that she was dumbfounded. Jing Yunzhao did not even tell on her, but Shen Xi…
“Mrs. Camden, do you have any evidence to say that this child is a vixen?”Xu Yuanze’s expression was particularly ugly.
Even though the DNA test had not been done yet, he had already thought of Jing Yunzhao as his niece. Where did he get the guts?
“Mayor Xu.” Mrs. Wang was about to speak when Jing Yunzhao called out,””Speaking of which, I have to apologize to Mrs. Camden. I’m sorry for splashing red wine all over you just now.”
Mrs. Wang was already in a daze.
What was Jing Yunzhao up to?
The red face became the white face, and the white face became the red face again!
“Mrs. Wang is a straightforward and righteous person. She was unhappy because she couldn’t stand Mrs. Xu’s attitude of not accepting the money she gave me. I was young and impatient, so I attacked her in a moment of anger.”Jing Yunzhao clarified for her.
She was someone who was dragged into this for no reason.
