The president of Luo’s Group would announce his engagement with Ms. Xia Mo, the younger daughter of the Xias!
The hall of the press conference was in an uproar, and journalists from various media outlets were nervously checking their equipment, eager to get into action and couldn’t help feeling thrilled.
This was big news!
It was known to all that Mr. Luo’s wife, no, his ex-wife, Xia Weiwei, was the eldest daughter of the family, the biological sister of Xia Mo. The brother-in-law had divorced the elder sister and was about to be engaged to his sister-in-law. Look how the story unfolded!
Although it was a known fact that the relationship between brother-in-laws and sister-in-laws was an easy target for public criticism, the situation was quite the opposite for Luo Chejue and Xia Mo, who had been mostly sided by the public opinions.
It had all started two years ago, when Xia Weiwei and Luo Chejue had already been engaged. However, Luo Chejue’s mother died of a sudden accident, and some intimate photos put Xia Weiwei in the teeth of the storm. In addition, Xia Mo had been deliberately building her own image and slandering Xia Weiwei. Now everyone believed that Xia Weiwei was a ruthless killer who had killed her mother-in-law, deliberately murdered her own son in order to frame her sister, and pushed her pregnant younger sister down the stairs, killing the unborn child and almost the expectant mother herself. What’s more, she had also shamelessly moved in with her lover afterwards.
Under the spotlight, Xia Mo still had a trace of sickness on her face. She smiled demurely, and her eyes were gleaming with irrepressible happiness. Finally, she could now achieve what she had been longing for!
“Miss Xia, we’ve heard that you had a miscarriage. Was it because Miss Xia Weiwei pushed you? Why did she do that? When did you and Mr. Luo get together?”
“My sister didn’t mean it. There was just a misunderstanding. Since she accidentally dropped her child and caused his death, she had not been in a stable mood, and that’s why she wouldn’t be reconciled with the fact that I was pregnant… I don’t blame her even though she didn’t want to transfuse her blood when my life was at risk. My sister and Jue divorced a year ago, and the reason why they didn’t make it public was that she… was pregnant, and I didn’t want her to get hurt.”
Xia Mo had been prepared. She subtly dismissed the possible suspicion of her cheating with her brother-in-law, and her timely pause left enough space for the reporters’ imagination to run wild. If they had divorced a year ago…
“Was the pregnancy a scheme on purpose?”
“No, my sister was just madly in love with Jue.” The hasty explanation unwittingly revealed the truth, and as the reporters scribbled on their pads, their impression of Xia Weiwei was deteriorating to a great extent.
A touch of shrewdness flashed across Xia Mo’s eyes. This was not enough!
“Hum, that evil girl! She’s been a complete shame to our family. Her child was not Mr. Luo’s! Mo has always been considerate to her sister, and I’ve never expected that Xia Weiwei not only has never appreciated it but done so many horrendous and harmful things! Mo almost lost her ability to ever be a mother again. I have nothing to do with that despicable wretch! ”
Father Xia sat aside without saying anything.
Hearing this, the reporters whispered to each other, criticizing Xia Weiwei. Seeing that Xia Mo was all teary-eyed and trying hard to pull herself together, they all felt that Xia Mo and Luo Chejue were meant to be together. If it was not because Xia Weiwei had viciously ruined their engagement, they would have been together already!
“Mr. Luo, Xia Weiwei was suspected of murdering your mother back then, but you still chose to marry her. Was it because you fell for her scheme again…” The second half of the reporter’s sentence trailed off automatically under Luo Chejue’s cold stare.
“Today we are here to announce our engagement, and I don’t want to hear anything else about that woman!”
Other reporters scolded the questioner inwardly: how insensible! He was definitely asking for humiliation. Luo Chejue had never gotten along well with the media. Therefore, the reporters quickly changed the topic, and blessing words were uttered incessantly.
Unexpectedly, the door was slammed open with a bang, and Xia Weiwei pushed her wheelchair in.
“Announcing your engagement before divorcing your ex-wife. Are you trying to tell everyone that the two of you are committing incest?”
