C8 A Wife That Is Justified!

"Your brother's disappearance is definitely linked to Rulan, and Zimo's accident has little to do with you. Besides, Siya stole Zeming from you. Don’t you want to get back at them?"

"What does this have to do with you?"

Yunsheng shrugged and spread his hands toward Xinxiao.

"Not much, but I heard your mom's death might not have been as straightforward as it seemed. Don’t you want to find out the truth?"

Xinxiao was startled, staring at Yunsheng for a long time before speaking.

"What do you want from this?"

"I want you to marry me and become Mrs. Shen."

Xinxiao chuckled coldly at Yunsheng, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, and quickly turned to head out of the airport.

Yunsheng felt a twinge of disappointment but followed Xinxiao with a cheerful demeanor.

"Get in the car. I'll take you back to the hotel to rest."

"The hotel?"

"Yeah, in two days, I'll take you to the Pei family to witness quite a show!"

Xinxiao sat in the car silently, gazing out the window. Her brother's disappearance, her mother's death, Zimo's accident, Zeming's betrayal... it all seemed unrelated, yet somehow connected by an invisible thread. Could it be that Rulan and Siya were behind it all?

No, that's impossible!

Xinxiao couldn't guarantee much about others, but she was sure of one thing: Zeming wouldn't change his heart so easily. He must have a compelling reason for being with Siya; deep down, he still loved her.

Two days later, at 8 PM.

The Pei family's hillside villa was brightly lit and bustling with guests.

"Congratulations, Chairman Pei, on finding such a promising young son-in-law in Director Du. Truly enviable!"

Zhengjun, brushing aside his earlier displeasure, accepted the congratulations with a cheerful demeanor.

"Mr. Yang, you must have a few extra drinks tonight!"

Siya, holding onto Zeming's arm, stood beside Zhengjun, smiling as she accepted everyone's attention. Zeming, however, wore a slightly gloomy expression, his handsome face tinged with a brooding air.

"We're about to get engaged, and you're still mad at me?"

"I wouldn't dare."

Zeming replied coldly, his tone distant. Siya wasn't offended; she just smiled lightly.

"Alright, stop being mad! I was wrong, okay? I only used a little trick because I love you! In the end, I just wanted to marry you sooner."

"Well, I really should thank you, then."

Zeming clinked glasses with those congratulating him, while half-heartedly responding to Siya.

"No need for that. After all, we're already family..." Siya's words trailed off as her eyes fixated on the entrance. Her grip on Zeming's arm instinctively tightened. Following her gaze, Zeming saw Xinxiao in a light blue, off-shoulder gown, her hair styled in a classic Audrey Hepburn updo. Her already delicate features were even more striking with the makeup.

She was walking in arm-in-arm with Yunsheng. Siya could sense Zeming's body stiffen, and her eyes flared with anger. Wasn't Xinxiao supposed to be abroad? Why was she here with Yunsheng now?

Yunsheng, in a crisp white suit, looked tall and handsome, making Xinxiao appear even more charming and captivating by his side.
