As soon as Lu Sheng’s words fell, a woman’s voice suddenly cut in: “Lu Sheng, what rubbish are you spouting?! How could Brother Munian possibly still love Su Wanwan?!”

Xi Zhiwei appeared out of the blue and swiftly strode towards them while saying this. Then she stood in front of Lu Sheng and chided loudly and sternly, “You should know full well that Brother Munian has never loved Su Wanwan. Getting together with Su Wanwan that time was just…”

Before Xi Zhiwei could finish saying her piece, Lu Sheng sneered, “Xi Zhiwei, do you have to repeat this over and over again every day to deceive others and yourself?”

“You…”

Lu Sheng’s rebuttal infuriated her. She couldn’t stomach his insult but also couldn’t refute him. Her cheeks flushed red but she still held her ground. “I was just stating the facts.”

Lu Sheng scoffed, too lazy to argue with her.

Xi Zhiwei also wasn’t willing to talk to Lu Sheng. She spun around, looked at Pei Munian, and said, “Brother Munian, I have something to tell you. This is a recording of a phone call between me and a reporter I know. He told me that someone had anonymously sent in the photos of you and Su Wanwan that night to the media for publication.”

As she talked, Xi Zhiwei took out her phone from her bag, pulled up the recording, and placed it in front of Pei Munian. She then continued: “I asked someone to follow this clue to find the source and found out that that person is Su Zhenhua’s secretary!”

“In other words, from beginning till end, this entire incident involved Su Wanwan scheming against you. She deliberately seduced you and got someone to take the pictures. Then she exposed this incident and forced you to take responsibility for her so that she could marry into the Pei family and save her family!”

Xi Zhiwei originally thought Pei Munian would be furious and resent Su Wanwan even more after she said this. She thought he might even call the Su Family immediately to renege on his decision to marry Su Wanwan. However, to her surprise, he didn’t have any reaction at all. His expression remained indifferent without even the slightest fluctuation in his gaze.

Xi Zhiwei couldn’t tell what Pei Munian was thinking at all. Even as someone not personally involved in this incident, she was already enraged. How can he, who was schemed against, be so calm?

“Brother Mu Nian, are you not the least bit mad? Su Wanwan did this to you…”

“Are you done talking?” Pei Munian finally spoke but he simply sidestepped her question. “Head back if you’re done talking. It’s getting late.”

Unwilling to retreat just like this, Xi Zhiwei asked persistently, “Brother Munian, after knowing all this, you’re still going to marry Su Wanwan?”

A streak of impatience flashed across Pei Munian’s eyes, but he suppressed it. He raised his brows and glanced at Xi Zhiwei. Then his gaze turned to Lu Sheng, who was enjoying the show, and he said, “You-take Zhiwei back.”

“Huh? Why me?” Lu Sheng was extremely reluctant. He didn’t want to take this bitter woman back in the least bit.

Pei Munian didn’t say anything in reply. He simply stared at Lu Sheng for a few seconds.

Lu Sheng resigned himself to his fate and nodded. “Fine, fine, fine. I’ll take her, I’ll take her!”

Lu Sheng grabbed the car keys lying on the table. After that, he got up, grabbed Xi Zhiwei who was struggling with all her might, and forcefully dragged her away.

Instantly, the place quieted down. Pei Munian’s black eyes inadvertently fell on the table, where Xi Zhiwei’s mobile phone had been left behind.

He stared at the phone for a while and a streak of self-deprecation gradually crept into his eyes.

Of course he knew that everything was orchestrated by Su Wanwan. Of course he knew that Su Wanwan had schemed against him for the sake of her family. He clearly had many solutions to resolve this, yet he stubbornly chose to marry her!
