I Was Seduced Into a Marriage After Failing to Charm the Tyrannical Bigshot Chapter 475  Banquet (3)

475 Banquet (3)

Hearing this voice, Zhen Zhu's body was full of thorns, and she consciously entered a defensive state.

She turned around and glanced coldly at Li Zhongjin and the woman beside him.

"But I still can't beat you in that area."

Zhen Zhu said coldly, "You keep saying that she's your fiancée, but in the end, you imdiately cleared yourself of the matter at the first sign of trouble. You frad soone else for Grandma's poisoning and almost sent your fiancée to prison. If it weren't for Cousin Hanyu's wisdom, you would have succeeded."

She did not hide the mockery and disdain in her eyes. "You're a heartless beast, no- You're worse than one if I'm talking about people like you."

Li Zhongjin smiled and was not annoyed. He hugged the woman beside him and kissed her on the cheek tenderly.

"Baby, tell her what the truth is."

"It's just a misunderstanding."

The young woman explained softly, "Zhongjin is already engaged to . He has never thought of abandoning ."

"Don't put on an act in front of the dia. It's disgusting."

Zhen Zhu said in disgust, "It's one thing for you to fool outsiders with your little tricks, but do you really think I don't know anything?"

At this mont, other guests ca over. Li Zhongjin tactfully said sothing and walked away with the woman beside him.

During this ti in the company, Li Zhongjin had understood Zhen Zhu's personality quite a bit. She was shrewd and strong, especially her eloquence. She didn't give in at all.

If he really fought with her, he wouldn't get any benefits.

He was no longer the sa as before. His status was high, and his goals were high. Naturally, he had to cherish his "'feathers'. The image he had painstakingly created in front of the dia could not collapse.

Moreover, with the guidance and support of the expert behind him, victory was within his grasp.

Zhen Group would be his sooner or later, and Zhen Zhu will be kicked out not long after. At that ti, he won't let her off. He would definitely make her suffer.

He gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart. He kept a smile on his face and greeted the people he knew from ti to ti. His face was full of joy.

Seeing Sang Qianqian, Li Zhongjin was stunned for a mont before smiling, "Cousin Sister-in-law… Oh no, I should call you Mrs. Xie now."

He glanced at her belly and gossiped. "I saw the news online. Are you really pregnant?"

Sang Qianqian did not comnt. Xie Shi'an smiled faintly. "Yes, she is."

"Congratulations then."

Li Zhongjin rolled his eyes. "Mrs. Xie and President Xie are really fast."

Xie Shi'an replied calmly, "I can't compare to President Li. President Li entered Zhen Group at lightning speed and even got a high position. I'm impressed."

Li Zhongjin looked a little embarrassed. He laughed and teased, "President Xie is really good at joking."

The conversation couldn't go on anymore, so Li Zhongjin sat down.

His seat was right next to Sang Qianqian and Xie Shi'an.

Sang Qianqian raised her head and looked at the young woman beside Li Zhongjin. It was her old acquaintance, Xu ixi.

When the police investigated Old Lady Zhen's poisoning incident, Li Zhongjin and Zhen Yishu did not hesitate to push all the bla to Xu ixi. They even said that the latter had deliberately done the poisoning. It was obvious that they wanted to send her to jail.

The police worked overti to investigate. In the end, they determined that Xu ixi had no motives to poison Old Lady Zhen. Thus, what happened must've been an accident.

However, since the Zhen family was involved, the police had to be cautious and communicated with Shen Hanyu about this.

Although Xu ixi did not intentionally hurt the old lady, she could still be held accountable for accidentally poisoning her. This also ant that as long as the Zhen family did not forgive her, Xu ixi might not be able to escape prison.

At that ti, Shen Hanyu still had Sang Qianqian grounded at ho, and she even pleaded for rcy on Xu ixi's behalf.

Later on, Shen Hanyu went to see Xu ixi in person. Nobody knew what they talked about, but in the end, he convinced Old Lady Zhen not to pursue the matter any further. Xu ixi was thus released from the police detention center unhard.

Sang Qianqian had thought that after this incident, Xu ixi would completely give up on Li Zhongjin and the two of them would no longer have anything to do with each other.

Not long after, the dia suddenly exposed the relationship between them.

Li Zhongjin was also forced to admit her identity because of the dia's pressure and his special identity. He deliberately wanted to maintain his image as a good man in front of the public.

However, according to Yin Shuhui, "There are speculations that Xu ixi hired those reporters to force the Li family to acknowledge her. If that was the case, then ixi must be quite scheming despite being so young."

She was a little sad. "But I don't understand. What's so good about a person like Li Zhongjin other than having more money? Besides, a forced lon wouldn't turn out sweet. If she insisted on staying by his side, would she be happy in the future?"

**

Sang Qianqian looked at Xu ixi and thought about Yin Shuhui's words thoughtfully.

Xu ixi also turned her head to look at her. Their eyes t, and in the next mont, she turned her face away, no longer looking at Sang Qianqian.

She did not know if it was Sang Qianqian's imagination, but Xu ixi seed to be looking at her with a hint of contempt.

Sang Qianqian thought for a mont and understood. She smiled self-deprecatingly. It seed that Xu ixi was probably the sa as Zhen Zhu, misunderstanding that she was fickle.

It was not her fault. After tonight, when the news of her and Xie Shi'an holding hands at the charity banquet was reported, everyone who knew her would probably think the sa way.

The guests took their seats one after another, and the charity banquet soon began.

The event was extravagant. Every celebrity who ca to participate donated different amounts of charity funds in various segnts that they were interested in. The one who donated the most would, of course, win the applause of the audience and be in the lilight.

Xie Shi'an was not here to show off. His donation wasn't the most, but it was still quite a lot. It was hidden among a few similar donations and did not attract any extra attention.

After the second half of the banquet, Sang Qianqian had no intention of staying any longer and left.

The night breeze carried a slight chill. She was wearing a formal dress, so most of her arms were exposed. At this mont, she only felt cold and subconsciously shivered.

Xie Shi'an considerately took off his coat and draped it over her. "Wait for here. I'll drive over."

She didn't refuse. She was pregnant now, and everything was about the child in her belly. If she caught a cold and fell sick, the child would be tornted.

She stood in the dark, wrapped her clothes tightly, and waited for Xie Shi'an's car.

The banquet was not over yet, and there weren't many people outside. There was only the rustling of leaves and branches in the wind. Compared to the lively hall just now, she felt much more peaceful.

Behind her, a low scolding voice echoed from behind a garden corridor.

Sang Qianqian was a little surprised. She walked over quietly and peeked through the branches and leaves of a flowering tree.

She was stunned when she saw that the people on the other side were Li Zhongjin and Xu ixi.
