After I caught the scumbag cheating, Mr. Xiao wanted to marry me

Wang Ling's expression changed: "No, nothing."

Xiao Yun frowned, and a bit more aura came over him. "Wang Ling, don't lie to me. You can't fool me."

Seeing this, Wang Ling had no choice but to tell everyone about the gift he had handed over.

"I think Shen Lan must have discovered it, otherwise he wouldn't have tested me."

Xiao Yun's eyes paused, with obvious disappointment in them: "So, Shen Lan knew that the hairpin was given by Lu Yunfan, and she accepted it, but...she didn't accept mine."

The last few words were spoken in a very soft voice, with a faint tremor.

Wang Ling's eyelids twitched. Just by listening, he could feel the broken sadness.

Wang Ling racked his brains, his head spinning, and managed to utter a few words: "Brother Yun, change your thinking. Shen Lan accepted Lu Yunfan's things, which means she no longer cares about the past. Lu Yunfan can't influence her in any way, and the things he gave her can no longer bring back memories of the past."

"She won't accept yours. The more she refuses, the more she cares."

Xiao Yun's eyes lit up, and his mood visibly improved. He looked at Wang Ling approvingly, "You make sense."

Liu Lin came to find Xiao Yun and witnessed all this: ...

He suddenly felt that Wang Ling was more suitable to be the chief steward of the imperial court than he was, and was born to be a treacherous minister and a favorite.

"Mr. Xiao, it's getting late."

Xiao Yun nodded at him, said a few words to Wang Ling, and left.

Wang Ling applied the medicine Liang Ye had bought and returned to his private room to continue singing and dancing.

On the other side, Chu Xu returned to the hospital with a gloomy face.

As soon as he arrived at grandma's ward, he was scolded by Chu's father.

"Where have you been?" Chu's father said. He smelled the faint smell of alcohol on him and was immediately furious. "Well, your grandma is seriously ill and her life is uncertain, and you still have the leisure to go out and drink and have fun. Chu Xu, your filial piety these days is all fake. Do you deserve your grandma's love?"

Chu Xu was watching the fun from the side, pretending to be indignant and adding fuel to the fire, "That's right, grandma wanted to give her her heart to you, dragging her sick body to make plans for you. And you, on the other hand, went out to drink. You didn't find a woman, did you? I smell a woman's perfume on you."

Chu Yang said this with a wretched look on his face.

Father Chu was so angry that his veins popped out and he raised his hand towards Chu Xu: "You beast, I will beat you to death!"

Chu Xu was feeling annoyed, so he suddenly grabbed his father's hand and pushed it hard, then reached out and removed Chu Yang's jaw.

Chu Yang had no time to react, his mouth was already drooling, and he could only moan.

He once again recalled the fear he felt when Chu Xu pinched his neck, and quickly covered his chin and ran away.

Chu's father staggered after being pushed and glared at him angrily: "Xiao Yun hates Xiao Ren so much, but he never hits him. You can't compare to Xiao Yun in every way, not even in this most basic filial piety of a son..."

Just one sentence made Chu Xu's eyes red, and the whites of his eyes were bloodshot.

When those eyes looked over, they were filled with murderous intent, which scared Father Chu so much.

At this time, a weak and old voice sounded: "A Xu."

Chu Xu finally came to his senses, pushed his father away, knelt in front of his grandmother's bed, and held her skinny hand.

"Grandma, are you feeling better?"

Father Chu now had something to rely on, and he immediately complained to Madam Chu: "Mom, while you were rescuing him, this kid actually ran out to drink and look for women."

"No, that's not it." Chu Xu hurriedly explained to the old lady: "I didn't drink. Today is Shen Lan's birthday, and I went to see her. The smell of alcohol on my body came from there. The smell of perfume came from when I accidentally bumped into a woman while looking for her."

"I know, Axu, you don't need to explain. Grandma believes you."

Old Madam Chu touched his head tremblingly. Ah Xu would never go out to drink and have fun when she was critically ill.

Hearing his grandmother's trusting voice, Chu Xu's eyes instantly became moist and he turned his head away in embarrassment.
