Chapter 51 - Exposed (2)
In her previous life, she would have forgiven Wen Yun for what he did to her.
It was all because she loved him so much.
But in this lifetime…
She smiled coldly, but her voice was gentle and laced with sadness. “Give me some time.”
“As much time as you want. I will prove to you that I really love you only. You have no idea how much I regretted it and blamed myself when I regained consciousness to find myself in bed with another woman. I wished I could kill myself. Several times I wanted to tell you, but I was afraid that you would be sad. Who would’ve known…” A sob sounded on the other end.
Wen Yun, why’re you so good at acting?
He deserved an Oscar award.
Lu Manman really wanted to applaud and cheer for him at that moment. She smiled and said, “Yun, have you thought of a solution?”
“I don’t know. My mind is in a mess. I’m not afraid of what others will say about me. What I’m worried about now is how you will view me. I’m only afraid of losing you. Everything else isn’t important to me!” Wen Yun said it matter-of-factly.
How could a person be so shameless?!
Lu Manman bit her lip for a while and then said, “You can call off our wedding tomorrow.”
“Manman…”
“If you don’t express something in front of the media, your reputation will be ruined.”
“But Manman, I don’t want to. I want to marry you…”
“That’s the best way. You’re smart, so you should know what to do better than I do,” Lu Manman said. Her voice was calm, and she sounded a little disappointed. “We don’t have to rush things. I need time to calm down as well.”
“I’m sorry. I’m really sorry. It’s all my fault. I wish I could kill myself!” Wen Yun kept apologizing. “But I can’t bear to die. If I die, I won’t be able to see you again. Manman, I really love you. I only love you in this lifetime.”
“Mm-hm,” Lu Manman answered.
There were so many lies she did not want to hear anymore.
The first step.
Once the Wen family called off the marriage, the Lu family would remain clean for the rest of their lives.
“It’s late. I’m going to bed,” she said.
“Good night, Manman.” Wen Yun’s voice was fawning.
“Good night.”
Lu Manman tightened her grip on her cell phone after hanging up.
She was still suppressing her anger!
Waves of anger that she had yet to fully vent.
She did not want to waste a single second to take revenge on Wen Yun!
She would make him suffer a fate worse than death!
…
The following morning, the Wen family held a press conference.
It had only been one night, and they were already resorting to emergency measures!
Lu Manman was actually very tired, but she knew that she had to know her enemy well in order to win. Hence, she sat on the bed and watched the news on her IPAD.
Wen Yun looked extremely haggard, and his eyes were sunken.
He was still polite to the reporters as he stood up and bowed respectfully.
The reporters were all focused on him.
After everything was done, he sat in the center seat and said, “Thank you all for coming to my press conference. As expected, I will give an open response to the indecent video from last night.”
Cameras kept shuttering, but the reporters were quiet.
“The person in the video was indeed me. I won’t explain much about being drunk or losing consciousness. But it has already happened, and it has caused unforgivable harm to the person I love the most, Lu Manman. Today was supposed to be the happiest day of my life, but because of me, I got myself into this mess. I am willing to bear all the consequences. Hence, I hereby announce that my wedding with Lu Manman is canceled.”
The reporters were in an uproar.
Even though they had expected it.
But everyone thought that the Lu family would be the one to announce the results. Who would have known that it would be the Wen family?!
After all, the Wen family had let the Lu family down.
