MY BEAUTIFUL BRIDE, VOLUME 8 - Season 12 Episode 45

Everyone’s gaze was on them. Xue Mengqi said with a sad face, “We didn’t want to say it initially, but since you doubt our intentions, I have no other choice. My father found out that Qin Qing is actually in contact with Lin Che. That is why he objects to Lin Che becoming the matriarch.”

The entire place was silent.

Then, Gu Jingze stood up.

All eyes looked up at him.

Lin Che also stood up and looked at Xue Mengqi. “What are you saying?”

Xue Mengqi scoffed. “Lin Che, if you don’t want anyone to know, don’t do it. Did you think nobody would know what kind of relationship you and Qin Qing have? Tell us what happened between you two at the hotel recently. Tell us.

Those few words already made people think a thousand thoughts.

They even went to a hotel. What could happen?

Lin Che grunted. “Qin Qing and I were classmates when we were little. Is there a problem with that? At the hotel? I really have no idea what you’re talking about.”

Xue Mengqi naturally knew that she would not admit to it.

“I have evidence in my hands. We all saw you at the hotel that day. You and Qin Qing entered a room one after the other. After some time, Gu Jingze then rushed in. You guys then left on a sour note. The video is here. Why don’t you take a look?”

She made some changes to the video. Once edited, it was extremely ambiguous.

Now, she tossed a memory stick onto the table. Xue Mengqi looked at the two of them with a sad expression. “I didn’t want to believe it, but since something like this has happened, I can only decide to break up with Qin Qing. I thought that you two went overboard. You’ve been pregnant for so long, but you didn’t care. You and Qin Qing even… You knew that we were dating.”

Everyone naturally believed Xue Mengqi. They thought that Xue Mengqi could not possibly sacrifice her own boyfriend in order to sabotage someone.

She even had to rip off her bandage in front of everyone.

However, she really was someone who dared to do that…

Someone took the memory stick. Gu Jingze said, “That’s enough, Xue Mengqi. You can slander me, but you cannot slander Lin Che.”

Xue Mengqi looked at him. “Cousin, do you still want to protect Lin Che at a time like this?”

“Yes,” he replied.

Everyone halted.

Nobody could comprehend what he said.

Xue Mengqi asked, “Cousin, even if this is how she treats you, you would still forgive her?”

Gu Jingze replied, “That’s right.”

“You…”

Who would have thought that Gu Jingze would not be angry at all?

If he was not angry, this show could not go on.

At the side, Gu Jingyan burst into laughter. “Hey, you guys are really something. My brother saw it and he is aware of it, yet you still want to malign my sister-in-law? Why don’t you take a look at the guy? Does he qualify to agitate my brother? What was his name? Qin what?”

Xue Mengqi froze again.

Gu Jingyan asked again, “What did you say just now? You caught them entering a hotel room? Are hotels only for one purpose? Your mind is really polluted. You know that my sister-in-law is pregnant and you still malign her. Furthermore, take a look at the man you like. Just because you like him, does it mean that others will surely like him too?”

“I have evidence. What grounds do you have to say that about me?” Xue Mengqi was starting to not care about her image. Gu Jingyan was too overbearing and it made her forget to maintain a demure image.

Gu Jingyan said, “Do I still need evidence? Bring the man you’re talking about here and put him next to my brother to compare. Is he as good as my brother? Is he enough to make my sister-in-law have a change of heart? She has been with my brother for so many years. Would she still fall for another man? Do you really think anyone else would be blind like you?”

Xue Mengqi exclaimed, “Gu Jingyan, you are being absurd. I didn’t do anything to you. Why do you have to insult me?”

Nobody had ever seen Xue Mengqi so agitated. They also looked at Xue Mengqi now with surprise.

Xue Mengqi froze and then regained composure. She realized that she was getting too agitated.

Because Gu Jingyan’s words were really too awful to hear and it made her lose control.

“Enough.” Just then, Lin Che’s voice rang plainly from behind.

She walked over and said, “I just wanted to see who was trying to slander me and scheme against me. That is why I listened until now. I would never have imagined this. Miss Xue, there may be competition between you and me, but if you have something to say, just be direct. You don’t have to beat about the bush and do things to set me up.”

“Who is setting you up?! I don’t care about framing you at all.” Xue Mengqi was getting anxious and she was losing control.

In comparison, Lin Che was much calmer because she already knew this would happen.

Everyone watched and felt that the tables have turned. How was Lin Che so calm and indifferent, while Xue Mengqi looked so worked up? She looked like the one who had the upper hand just before but was now on the losing end.

Xue Mengqi stood in front of her. At that moment, she was like an unruly village woman. It was simply unsightly.

Lin Che said, “I just thought that it was strange at that time. How was Qin Qing able to go to my hotel? If it wasn’t because he was my good friend and I’d known him for many years, I wouldn’t have believed his words. He told me that you asked him to meet you there. I still can’t believe anybody would do such a thing to their own boyfriend, but you turned out to be this ruthless. Because of this matriarch position, you are willing to set up the people around you. Gu Jingze knew long ago. When he went into the room, Qin Qing was just telling me that he had been watching the whole journey. He was very angry, but he was angry at the fact that the Gu family churned out a person like you. It’s not because of anything else.”

Xue Mengqi’s expression became worse. It was harder for her to control herself.

Lin Che was more dominant now. She glared at Xue Mengqi. “You can compete with me fair and square, but you can’t insult my character like that. Xue Mengqi, based on this alone, I will not forgive you.”

“I did no such thing! You… You have no proof that I did it. You know what your relationship with Qin Qing is. Don’t try to seduce him and talk bad about me.”

Gu Jingyan stood up and looked at the two of them. “Brother is on Sister-in-law’s side. I’m also on her side. Let me ask you, Xue Mengqi. Who is standing on your side? Who is willing to believe you?”

Everyone simply watched and did not know how to react at all.

The few people standing with Lin Che already appeared to form a formidable wall.

Those were the Gu family’s cream of the crop. Nobody dared to defy them.

However, at this moment…

Lin Che suddenly felt a movement in her belly.

Lin Che almost fell back into her seat. It suddenly hurt a lot…
