Chapter 583: Chapter 584: I Absolutely Detest Your Face..
Xi Zijun’s pointed words swiftly turned all criticisms towards Xia Weiwei.
Xia Weiwei’s hidden intentions were laid bare without mercy.
It’s as if she stood naked, exposed in front of everyone.
Xia Weiwei was trembling with rage, unable to understand. She had pointed out the relationship between Gu Qichen and Xia Yangyang.
Hinting that Gu Qichen hadn’t let go of Xia Yangyang over all these years.
Shouldn’t Xi Zijun’s target be Xia Yangyang instead?
Xia Weiwei, humiliated and distressed, burst into tears and threw herself at Gu Qichen, pleading, “Brother-in-law, it’s not what you think. But it’s my sister you still carry in your heart, isn’t it? I spoke out risking everyone’s disdain because I fear that you won’t be happy in the future. I truly want the best for you.”
Gu Qichen suddenly spoke, his voice cold.
Xia Weiwei was stunned into silence.
Gu Qichen turned to look coldly at Xia Yangyang, then said, “Who says that I’ve been holding onto her in my heart all these years? I’ve long since forgotten the past. Miss Xia and I were briefly married, but after divorce, we became strangers with no connection. As for you, Miss Weiwei, I have no inappropriate thoughts about you, please have some self-respect.”
Xia Weiwei was unable to accept it.
He was lying, he must be lying.
Xia Weiwei grabbed Gu Qichen’s arm, “Brother-in-law, you do have feelings for me, right? You spent twenty million to bail me out at the birthday banquet.”
Xia Weiwei seemed to be in a trance as she touched her own face, “You also face of mine, you frequently stare at my face… are you still saying you don’t like me?”
The tone of Gu Qichen’s voice became even chillier, “That twenty million wasn’t for your sake, I merely wanted to prevent Miss Weiwei from causing trouble for the Xi family and Zijun, you’ve misunderstood.”
The color drained from Xia Weiwei’s face.
Gu Qichen continued, his tone indifferent, “And as for Miss Weiwei’s face, it’s far from the kind I am attracted to. The more I look at it, the more… loathsome it is.”
As he said this, Gu Qichen glanced at Xia Yangyang.
Xia Yangyang sat there calmly as ever.
Everyone else had stopped in their tracks, yet only she was still eating, slowly and calmly.
It was as though the current happenings had nothing to do with her.
She didn’t even glance at Gu Qichen.
Xia Weiwei collapsed into her seat.
What had Gu Qichen just said?
Gu Qichen had just severed ties with her, and even described his feelings towards her as extreme disgust.
He even said that the twenty million was for Xi Zijun’s sake?
Could it be that she was wrong? Could it be that the only person Gu Qichen cared about was Xi Zijun?
Xia Weiwei couldn’t utter a word, but her tears flowed down like a river.
Seeing her utterly humiliated, Liu Ruyan grabbed her arm and said, “You’ve lost your mind. I will take you back to your room to reflect on yourself.”
Upon saying this, she called for the butler.
And just like that, Xia Weiwei was escorted away.
The dining room fell into deathly silence.
Everyone was caught off guard by the sudden turn of events.
However, Gu Qichen had successfully disconnected himself from Xia Weiwei and his ex-wife sitting opposite to him.
It seemed he was indeed concerned about Zijun.
Xia Yangyang maintained her calm appearance but felt surprised inside.
Gu Qichen, who was known for his cool demeanor and haughtiness, rarely showed concern for rumors or the opinions of others.
Now, in front of the Xi family, he felt the need to clarify and disconnect himself from the complex relationships that had entangled him.
It seemed Gu Qichen had truly become emotionally invested in Xi Zijun.
