CHAPTER 923: CHAPTER 923: ISN’T IT JUST OLD GOSSIP?

Mei Yueyan felt.

It’s not that she’s gone mad.

Or the world has gone mad.

Otherwise, why would she hear a man saying she’s shameless?

Xiao Shanghe’s reprimand was not over yet.

"I know the tricks you played before, and I’m telling you, our Xiao Family will never form an alliance with you!"

"Damn, I’ve never met someone as brazen as you! To tie the Xiao Family to your sinking ship, first you sacrifice your son, then you want to sacrifice your daughter, and now look at you, you’re directly stepping in yourself!"

"What, just because you’re shameless, you assume everyone in the world is shameless too?"

Hearing the words "old hag," Mei Yueyan felt her vision go black and had an urge to faint on the spot.

This brat!

This brat is simply...

Wait a minute.

She suddenly realized something.

That is...

Xiao Shanghe seemed to have referred to himself as "this Young Master" just now.

Then he mentioned the Xiao Family and spoke about the marriage contract.

Could it be that he is...

Xiao Shanghe saw the shock on Mei Yueyan’s face and felt a sense of regaining the upper hand.

He had just been frightened by Zhen Yunjin.

Now, he had scared Mei Yueyan.

Thinking about it like this, it’s quite even.

No, they say old ginger is spicier.

Thinking in this way, wasn’t scaring Mei Yueyan even more impressive than Zhen Yunjin?

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but feel a bit smug.

When he looked at Zhen Yunjin, there was even a hint of provocation in his eyes.

Human sorrows don’t resonate with each other.

Xiao Shanghe felt pleased, while Zhen Yunjin just thought he was childish.

After utilizing him to pierce Mei Yueyan’s heart, Zhen Yunjin ignored him.

Instead, she started talking to Mei Yueyan about plans to interact with the Xiao Family regarding the marriage contract.

Mei Yueyan was stunned, not expecting Zhen Yunjin wouldn’t give up on breaking the marriage contract.

Because this matter was too important, she didn’t have time to think much and immediately expressed her disapproval.

"Your marriage contract cannot be dissolved!"

As Mei Yueyan spoke, she pulled Mei Yunduo, who hadn’t spoken all along, to the front and said to Xiao Shanghe, "Young Master Xiao, this is my daughter Yunduo; I’m sure you are already acquainted with her."

Xiao Shanghe responded with a nonchalant sound.

In fact, he had tried to find out about Mei Yunduo’s identity when they were in the film crew.

The way Mei Yunduo appeared back then was too coincidental, making him think more about it.

Fortunately, he confirmed that Mei Yunduo was not Zhen Yunjin.

He just didn’t expect that after all these twists and turns, there would be such a connection between Mei Yunduo and him...

Alright, calling it a connection seems far-fetched.

This is simply a cursed fate.

If he hadn’t uncovered this conspiracy today.

Wouldn’t he have listened to his father’s words and formed a union with the Zhen Family?

Once the alliance is formed, the person he’s with might either be the so-called new groom or bride, who can say for sure?

Not to mention there’s a sister, Mei Yunduo, ready to play the substitute at any time.

And an overly confident older woman who wants him!

Xiao Shanghe was truly frustrated.

What kind of wrongdoing had he committed to be dragged into this den of wolves and tigers?

It was truly tragic.

He couldn’t help but shake his head, thinking to himself...

He couldn’t just run away like this.

If he ran away, wouldn’t that make him look useless?

At this point, he should calm down.

And then think about how to counterattack.

His eyes rolled, and he came up with a plan.

He blinked his eyes hard, looking at Shi Yaoguang, hoping she understood his intention.

Shi Yaoguang, depending on his abstract acting skills, couldn’t understand him.

But it didn’t matter.

Xiao Shanghe moved next to her, whispering his plan to her.

"Miss Shi, you saw what happened today; the Zhen Family is plainly trying to marry me off under false pretenses! I can’t let them fool me just like that!"

Shi Yaoguang nodded and then asked, "So? What are you planning to do?"

"I plan not to be married off for nothing."

Xiao Shanghe, filled with rage, "I must get back at them!"

Shi Yaoguang nodded in agreement, "Fair enough."

Xiao Shanghe’s eyes lit up, "So, are you agreeing to help me?"

Shi Yaoguang blinked her eyes, "When did I agree?"

"Just now." Xiao Shanghe chuckled, "Didn’t you say I can get back at them?"

Indeed, Shi Yaoguang had said that, but how was that related to her agreeing?

Revenge was something Xiao Shanghe had to do himself, after all.

Thinking so, she heard Xiao Shanghe say, "You’re my strongest support!"

Shi Yaoguang’s mouth twitched, "Thanks for the love, but I think I can’t handle it."

Xiao Shanghe’s eyes widened, "What’s that supposed to mean?"

Shi Yaoguang smiled, "Literally."

Xiao Shanghe: "..."

He could still save this, "I can offer compensation!"

Shi Yaoguang: "Not really needed."

"Then what do you need?" Xiao Shanghe looked at her eagerly, "If there’s anything I have, just say it."

Shi Yaoguang: "What I want, you might not have."

"Don’t be in such a hurry to refuse!" Xiao Shanghe said urgently, "Whatever you need, maybe I have it! After all, I am the Young Master of the Xiao Family..."

Zhen Yunjin interjected, "The Young Master the Xiao Family pushed out for the marriage alliance."

Xiao Shanghe: "..."

How heartbreaking.

After glaring at Zhen Yunjin, Xiao Shanghe continued to think about how to convince Shi Yaoguang.

Unexpectedly, the words to convince Shi Yaoguang came from Zhen Yunjin’s mouth.

"Perhaps, Miss Shi is interested in what happened between Mei Yueyan and Old Mr. Quan back then; if needed, I would be happy to inform you."

Upon hearing this, Mei Yueyan was the first to object.

She glared at her son fiercely, her expression sinister like she wanted to kill someone.

"Zhen Yunjin! Don’t you know that I am your mother, your biological mother!"

Zhen Yunjin was indifferent, "You are indeed my mother, but so what?"

Seeing his rogue expression, Mei Yueyan was infuriated, "Don’t forget, you were a part of what I did! If you dare to reveal what happened, it won’t do you any good either!"

Zhen Yunjin shrugged, "I don’t think what you did has anything to do with me."

"You got all the benefits and now... when it’s time to settle scores, you, Mei Yueyan, remember you have a son?"

He said, then looked at Mei Yunduo, "Right, you also have a daughter; why don’t you say this to your daughter?"

Mei Yunduo’s expression changed, "What do you plan to do?"

Zhen Yunjin spread his hands, completely indifferent, "Isn’t this old gossip? Since everyone is here, I’ll tell it and let everyone have a good laugh."

Mei Yueyan turned pale, "No, you can’t say it! Shut up!"

Zhen Yunjin laughed coldly at her, "If you didn’t dare let me say it, how did you have the guts to do it back then? Do you know how disgusting you were to me as a mother when I found out what you did?"
