Chapter 277: Chapter 277: Fang Zhenzhen’s Slander
Fang Zhenzhen humbled herself, begging Wu Yingying to let her go.
She couldn’t break off the engagement with Yu Xuan, she couldn’t afford to lose face, nor could the Fang Family.
Last night, her parents gathered the Fang Family relatives and insisted that the engagement not be called off.
"You don’t need to beg me, nor use my brother to threaten me, and you certainly don’t need to play the pity card to morally blackmail me!" Wu Yingying had already anticipated what she would do, and directly cut off all her avenues.
"If my brother doesn’t handle hurting my daughter, then I’ll report it to the police and let them handle it. Don’t try to pressure me using my parents either. Fang Zhenzhen hurt my daughter, and the evidence is irrefutable." Wu Yingying kept a cold face; she wouldn’t let Fang Zhenzhen off.
"Yingying, I really know I was wrong. I’ll serve you like an ox and horse, would that be okay?" Fang Zhenzhen cried as she spoke. "If you don’t forgive me, I..."
After speaking, Fang Zhenzhen suddenly slapped herself, each slap louder than the last.
Looking at the redness and swelling on her face, it was clear she was using force.
But such behavior only made Wu Yingying and Mrs. Wu more unwilling to let her in.
This kind of extreme action made people even less inclined to accept her.
If later on something didn’t go her way, who knows if she’d harm herself to force their hand?
Fang Zhenzhen beat herself until dizzy and confused, slapping over ten times, yet neither Mrs. Wu nor Wu Yingying reacted at all.
Even the Fang Family were a bit dumbfounded, not expecting that even after she had come to this point, the Wu Family would show no softening.
"I said, don’t try to use moral coercion. This matter is fact, not my suspicion; I personally caught her abusing my daughter! This isn’t a game of make-believe where I forget just because you took a couple slaps," Wu Yingying sneered coldly, finding the Fang Family’s behavior appalling.
Watching Fang Zhenzhen continuously slapping herself, they just stood there watching, without reaction, as if this was how it was supposed to be.
This kind of family definitely cannot become in-laws.
"Are you trying to force me to death? I’ve already done this, what more do you want from me!" Fang Zhenzhen gritted her teeth, having lowered herself so much, yet they remained unresponsive.
"Mother-in-law, isn’t this a bit ungrateful on your part? We’ve already sincerely apologized, and yet you’re still being overly aggressive. Won’t spreading this affect your reputation?" Mrs. Fang looked at Fang Zhenzhen’s swollen face, threatening.
When Wu Jianlin and Yu Xuan returned and pushed the door open, they immediately heard Mrs. Fang’s threat. Yu Xuan saw Zhenzhen’s swollen face and paused.
"What happened to your face?" Yu Xuan stepped forward to support Fang Zhenzhen.
"Uh, Yu Xuan." Fang Zhenzhen finally saw Yu Xuan, and all her grievances surged forth, attempting to dive into his embrace.
"Yu Xuan, my good son-in-law, look at what my Zhenzhen has been reduced to by your mother and sister. We’ve apologized sincerely, yet they refuse to yield." Mrs. Fang, upon seeing Yu Xuan, immediately sought to gain his sympathy.
Yu Xuan raised an eyebrow, stepped back two steps, and removed Zhenzhen’s hand.
"Yu Xuan...?" Fang Zhenzhen didn’t expect Yu Xuan to push her away, looking at him in disbelief.
"This wasn’t my mother’s or sister’s idea; it’s me who wants to break off the engagement. We aren’t suitable," Yu Xuan stated, still feeling a stir seeing Fang Zhenzhen.
People have emotions, especially as they’ve been together for quite some time, and he viewed her as his future wife.
But now, after realizing she’s been acting, Yu Xuan understood that what he thought was a connection was just Fang Zhenzhen deliberately aligning with him.
"What’s unsuitable about Zhenzhen?" Mrs. Fang’s face immediately darkened.
"You’ve slept together, touched each other, and now you want to return the goods? I don’t agree," Mr. Fang bluntly stated, directly saying Fang Zhenzhen was no longer pure and Yu Xuan should take responsibility.
Fang Zhenzhen’s face changed dramatically.
Yu Xuan looked at Fang Zhenzhen in shock.
Then returned to peace.
"I’ve never touched her, at most just holding hands, never had any conjugal relations," Yu Xuan’s words left Fang Zhenzhen utterly humiliated.
Mrs. Wu and Wu Yingying also looked at Fang Zhenzhen; she’d told the Fang Family she had slept with Yu Xuan?
"Impossible, Zhenzhen told me personally you already turned raw rice into cooked rice!" Mrs. Fang frowned, immediately furious. "Are you trying to shirk responsibility after having enough?"
"If my son really touched her, we absolutely wouldn’t agree to him breaking off the engagement, but my son says he hasn’t touched Fang Zhenzhen, I believe my son." Mrs. Wu stepped forward, her eyes landing on Fang Zhenzhen.
"Fang Zhenzhen, please tell your parents clearly, we haven’t had any relations." Yu Xuan looked at Fang Zhenzhen with a serious expression.
All eyes were on Fang Zhenzhen, she bit her lip.
"Yu Xuan, he already... we indeed cooked raw rice into cooked rice."
As soon as Fang Zhenzhen spoke, everyone’s expression changed.
The Fang Family’s lips curled into a satisfied smile.
The Wu Family’s expressions darkened, disbelief evident.
Fang Zhenzhen looked at Yu Xuan, her eyes pleading.
She was willing to spend a lifetime making it up to him; she couldn’t lose him. If the engagement were called off, she’d be married off to a fool! She had to seize this chance.
As long as she insisted that Yu Xuan had relations with her, he would have to take responsibility.
"Fang Zhenzhen, you..." Yu Xuan’s gaze gradually cooled, prompting Fang Zhenzhen to fearfully lower her head.
"In-laws, I think it’s time this marriage proceeded, otherwise my daughter’s belly can’t wait..." Mrs. Fang smiled confidently, believing they had the Wu Family under their thumb.
"You say you had relations with my son?" Mrs. Wu stood up, looking at Fang Zhenzhen with a cold smile.
"...Yes." Fang Zhenzhen didn’t dare meet her gaze, just nodded repeatedly.
"Then tell me, what’s on my son’s chest?" Mrs. Wu asked.
"I...I don’t know, it was too dark that day, I didn’t see anything." Fang Zhenzhen bit her lip, unaware of what was on Yu Xuan’s chest.
"Alright, report to the police!" Mrs. Wu glanced at Fang Zhenzhen, signaling Yu Xuan to call the police.
"There’s no need to call the police right away! Setting the wedding date is more appropriate, dowry as initially agreed, eight hundred eighty-eight, four rounds and one sound, and a job for her brother..." Mrs. Fang quickly blocked, hurriedly listing the bride price demands.
Mrs. Wu sneered. "Let the police prove your daughter indeed had relations with my son, and I’ll agree to that dowry."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Fang stopped blocking.
"Then call them! Let them witness."
Yu Xuan went to the study to make the call, and shortly after, the police arrived, along with a crowd eager to watch the drama.
