Chapter 239 - 239 Kneel and Admit Your Wrongdoings

239 Kneel and Admit Your Wrongdoings

“As a celebrity with a decent following, you should know that I won’t stand up for just anyone; I have a reputation to uphold. For one, I would never do what I’m doing for an arrogant, vulgar woman like you. My fans aren’t blind; they can tell right from wrong.” Lu Lin did not give an inch in his firm reb.u.t.tal.

To think a mere lady of the Jiang family would dare threaten the Lu family with slander! Lu Lin would not let her off easily.

It was so rare for Shen Xi to ask him to join her for a meal, and he had made sure everything was just right, all for it to come to ruin when he stepped out for a second to answer a call. He was unsure what had happened, but when he returned, Jiang Xue rushed at Shen Xi, screaming crazily about one thing or another. It was deplorable.

Jiang Xue’s anger spiked upon being belittled by Lu Lin. She noted Xiang Tian’s arrival and sneered. “Lu Lin, you shouldn’t ignore my advice. Shen Xi was born into poverty, and everyone knows she climbs into bed with men for money. If you don’t believe me, ask around in school, and you’ll learn the truth. Shen Xi even had an affair with ten different men not too long ago. It caused quite an uproar…”

Lu Lin could not bear to listen to Jiang Xue prattle on. He marched toward the ent.i.tled young woman with his hands clenched, but before he could do anything, several security guards blocked his way, preventing him from reaching Jiang Xue. He even had his phone confiscated for some reason.

Xiang Cheng, who had just arrived, hurried to the scene.

Lu Lin gritted his teeth in anger. He had wanted to have a good meal with Shen Xi, so he had asked his a.s.sistant and bodyguard to wait in the car, hoping for a little more privacy. Now, he regretted his decision.

Jiang Xue took the opportunity to pull Xiang Cheng aside and said, “Brother Cheng, do you believe me now? Shen Xi, Guan Lei, and Dr. Zheng Huai were involved in an ambiguous relations.h.i.+p, and now she’s alone with Lu Lin. Who would not believe that something is going on among them? If this isn’t riding a donkey to find a horse, I don’t know what is! She’s just fis.h.i.+ng for her next meal ticket, that’s all.”

Tears slid down her cheeks as she sobbed, “Shen Xi must be the culprit! It can’t be a coincidence that she and Lu Lin are here. She must have discovered that I was brought before Grandpa Xiang and received his acknowledgment. Knowing she had no hope of marrying into the Xiang family, she grew jealous and released that image to ruin me! Do you believe me now?”

Xiang Cheng’s suspicions began to waver. While they would still investigate to verify Jiang Xue’s innocence, Xiang Cheng was inclined to believe her, knowing that Shen Xi was a fickle social b.u.t.terfly.

Jiang Xue’s earlier words about Shen Xi contracting a venereal disease came to mind, and he regarded her with disgust. At the same time, he was unwilling to give up on such a beautiful woman as Shen Xi. How could he back down without having had the opportunity to toy with her?

Anger and a bitter unwillingness suffused Xiang Cheng’s words to Shen Xi, “When you were still the Young Miss of the Jiang family, you followed me wherever I went. I know you have feelings for me, but your status is no longer compatible with mine. You should know how important it is to find a match of equal social status. Even if Xue’er were to be taken out of the picture, you would still not have the opportunity to marry into the Xiang family.”

Shen Xi was left speechless. Between Jiang Xue, who turned black into white, and a criminal narcissist like Xiang Cheng, Shen Xi had nothing to say except the two were a match made in heaven.

Lu Lin was dumbfounded. “Xixi, what are they talking about? What do they mean when they say you used to be the Young Miss of the Jiang family? What’s going on?” Lu Lin hesitantly asked.

“I’ll explain things later,” Shen Xi replied.

Interrupting their short exchange, Xiang Cheng demanded, “Shen Xi, why did you put that image on the screen for everyone to see at my grandfather’s birthday banquet? Was it to hurt Xue’er? It’s futile. You know how powerful our Xiang family is. Go out there, admit your wrongdoings, and apologize to Xue’er before all the guests. If you do that, I’ll let the matter rest.”

Piggybacking on Xiang Cheng’s support, Jiang Xue said, “Brother Cheng, how can you let Shen Xi off so easily? Shouldn’t she kneel and apologize for treating me so terribly? I’m innocent. How will I face others in the future after she’s done?”

Xiang Cheng’s brows furrowed. He wanted Shen Xi to publicly apologize for the sake of the Xiang family’s face, but to expect her to kneel was out of the question. With Shen Xi’s personality, it was impossible.

Then again, the only reason Shen Xi could be so arrogant in the past was that she had the support of the Jiang family and himself. Now that she had neither, she was no one, just another nameless face in the crowd.

Thus, Xiang Cheng raised his head and commanded, “Shen Xi, kneel and apologize to Xue’er. Once you do so, I shall write this matter off.”

Lu Lin laughed in the face of Xiang Cheng’s arrogance. To think there would come a day when others would pick on the Lu family’s princess! Was he truly so arrogant that he would make her kneel?
