Chapter 188 - The Reunion Arc : Huang Rong's Accusations

Xinyi slowly lifted her gaze and it met Zhiyuan's eyes that shot daggers at Huang Rong.

"Tell me. Were you there all those times when Xinyi had done nothing but shower love at Siying? And now you are shamelessly raking up a thing of the past when it has got nothing to do with you?"

Huang Rong said nothing.

"What do you know about Xinyi that made you open your fucking mouth!?"

His roaring voice loudly reverberated in the room as he banged his fist on the table. Yan Jian and the gang helplessly glanced at each other. The mood had taken a turn for the worse.

Huang Rong smiled. "I at least know that Xinyi used to like Fuhua back in college."

Silence.

Qin Fuhua's jaw dropped wide open. "Rong!"

Xinyi froze. She looked at her aghast and so did Caihong.

She remembered how Xinyi had said that she had lied about having a crush on Qin Fuhua because she wanted to hide her feelings for Zhiyuan.

Caihong anxiously glanced at Xinyi.

That is a misunderstanding!

The gang was just as stunned about this another explosive news.

"And she still does. Isn't that why she couldn't let go of the chance of hanging around with Fuhua behind my back? She is a married woman and Fuhua is my fiance. Yet she shamelessly hung around him."

Zhiyuan coldly smiled. "Right. Xinyi did hang around with him going on shopping trips. Qin Fuhua," he shifted his gaze at him, "Why don't you tell the reason behind those meetings?

Qin Fuhua shot a glare towards Huang Rong. "Rong. You are misunderstanding! I called Xinyi all those times to help me out with my gifts and wedding shopping! I dragged her everywhere and begged her to accompany me because she has good taste. How did you jump to this conclusion? Do you have any idea what you are saying!"

"Because she likes you! She has always liked you!" Huang Rong yelled. "That's why she couldn't ignore it when you asked for help! If her first love comes before her and says that he needs her, will she choose to ignore it?"

Qin Fuhua was speechless.

Like me? 

He was sure that Xinyi didn't like him that way, so he didn't understand how this misunderstanding got in place.

She glared at Xinyi and pointed her finger at her. "Right, Xinyi? You don't like Zhiyuan at all! You have always liked Fuhua! That's why you jumped on the chance to spend time with him. You wanted to get closer to him. That's why you wished to abort your child three years back, don't you? You had Fuhua in your heart. Why would you want to carry Zhiyuan's child?"

Her eyes were slightly red as Xinyi spoke. "It's wrong! You are wrong...this is not..."

"Then tell me the reason. If it's not Fuhua, then why would you want to kill your child?"

Xinyi froze.

The real reason...how could she say the truth behind her decision?

She felt a warm hand clutch her palm that tightly squeezed it. She lowered her gaze and found that Zhiyuan's large fingers were intertwined against hers.

"You don't have to explain anything," he whispered, making her tremble.

"If you don't shut your mouth right now, then trust me, you would have to pay a heavy price for this. Don't blame me for being ruthless," Zhiyuan icily warned as he was losing his patience.

Caihong couldn't take it anymore and said, "Enough Huang Rong! We have all heard enough of your nonsense. What Xinyi did or what she didn't do is none of your concern! This matter is between Xinyi and Zhiyuan. A third party like you should butt out of this."

"Why should I when it concerns my fiance and somebody is threatening to snatch him away?" Huang Rong narrowed her eyes.

Qin Fuhua got a headache. "Enough Rong! It's nothing as you are thinking."

Shuang stared at her, and her lips broke into a mocking smile. "So you are one jealous bitch, aren't you?"

Huang Rong widened her eyes and jerked her head towards her. "What?"

"Or maybe it's your inferiority complex," she sneered. "Qin Fuhua and Xinyi were in the same class, and he often jokingly teased her. That is a sort of closeness you can say. Have you been jealous of Xinyi since then? That the boy who you liked had fun spending time with another girl?"

Her face flushed red as it hit the mark.

Zizi gritted her teeth. "Who do you think you are? Just because Xinyi and Qin Fuhua went on some shopping trips together, you thought to have such disgusting revenge and humiliate her like this in front of everyone? Even if she did like him in the past, so what? Can they still not be friends? Do they need your permission?"

Ah Cy nodded and coldly glowered at her. "You don't know what Xinyi might be going through at that time. So what if she decided to abort? Is it necessary that she must give birth just because her marriage is a happy one? There are a lot of things and stress a pregnant woman has to go through. Who are you to judge her?"

Being reprimanded by them so harshly, Huang Rong furiously dug her nails in the palm, feeling embarrassed.

Qin Fuhua took a deep breath. "Rong, apologize to Xinyi."

Huang Rong froze and looked at him dumbfounded. "Me? And apologize to her? She has done nothing but come between us! Whether seven years back or even now! She gets the tag of being a kind woman but is she really one who cruelly tried to kill her own child?"

Xinyi suddenly got up to everyone's shock. Her legs trembled and she staggered. As tears plopped down her cheeks, she covered her mouth and ran away.

She couldn't bear the accusations anymore. The more Huang Rong spoke, the more guilt gushed in her heart about her decision. Her words were like sharp thorns that pierced her heart mercilessly, making it bleed.

It hurt. It hurt badly. She felt like a murderer. A mother loves her child the most yet she wanted to kill him.

"Xinyi!" Zhiyuan tried to stop her, but she was already gone.

When he was about to chase her, he suddenly felt a hand pull him back. He looked back to see Caihong looking at him with a grave expression.

"Let me talk to her, Zhiyuan."
