Chapter 395: Chapter 394: How Could This Happen
As soon as Wei Hanliang finished speaking, Zheng Xiangxin shrieked, "Apologize for what? They’re the ones at fault. Why should we apologize? Wei Hanliang, have you lost your sense of right and wrong after seeing your old flame?"
"Shut up."
Upon hearing this, Wei Hanliang’s veins bulged on his forehead as he yelled in anger. He hadn’t expected Zheng Xiangxin to spout nonsense on such an occasion.
Everyone else exchanged glances, then showed knowing expressions. Could there be more to this than meets the eye?
Yiyi frowned, looking at Wei Hanliang and then at Zheng Xiangxin, feeling instinctively that there were issues in their marriage. Regardless of their relationship, she wouldn’t allow them to slander her mother.
"Please take back what you just said, or I’ll sue you for defamation."
Ding Yuejun was stunned for a while before she realized what Zheng Xiangxin was talking about. She looked at her in shock and said, "What nonsense are you spouting?"
"Where am I talking nonsense? I’m just speaking the truth. Dare you say you two haven’t met before?"
Hearing this, Ding Yuejun was at a loss for words.
She and Wei Hanliang had indeed met before, but it was only once. Of course, the time when she was unconscious and saved by Wei Hanliang didn’t count.
But before Ding Yuejun could speak, Zheng Xiangxin continued, "Why... can’t speak anymore, right? You two have known each other for a long time, and you’ve been entangled since arriving in Shangjing. The last time your daughter visited my house, Wei Hanliang looked at her differently. When has Wei Hanliang ever treated juniors so kindly before?"
At this moment, Wei Hanliang was too angry to speak.
He and Ding Yuejun had indeed met before, but there was absolutely no relationship between them. Yet now, Zheng Xiangxin was making it sound like they were having an affair.
And with so many people present, Zheng Xiangxin didn’t care, brazenly shouting it all out. How would the others interpret this?
That’s when the leader who had arrived last spoke up.
"Old Ding, Director Wei, why don’t you reconcile here first? We’ll head outside," he said before quickly leading a group of people away.
Seeing this, the others naturally hurriedly left as well.
It seemed like they had learned something scandalous today, but they dared not know too much about the affairs of such significant figures.
Only after everyone else had left did Old Master Ding look deeply at Wei Hanliang and his wife, "If you don’t give us an explanation today, don’t think about leaving."
He was truly angry at this moment.
Not only had his daughter and granddaughter ended up in the police station because of Zheng Xiangxin, but now Yue Jun was also being slandered as having an affair with Wei Hanliang. This was unbearable.
Upon hearing this, Wei Hanliang quickly said, "Old Ding, the fault is all ours. I apologize for my wife’s actions, and I’ll make sure to explain things to her clearly when we get back."
"I’d prefer if you explained things here."
He could see that there was already a problem between Wei Hanliang and his wife, as she didn’t trust Wei Hanliang at all, leading to such unfounded suspicions.
Seeing Wei Hanliang’s silence, Old Master Ding coldly snorted, "Let your wife properly apologize to us, then this matter can be put to rest. Otherwise, I’ll make sure you both understand the consequences of slander."
"Hmph... I didn’t slander them."
Upon hearing Old Master Ding’s words, Zheng Xiangxin walked forward impatiently, but she was promptly pulled back by Wei Hanliang.
Wei Hanliang leaned close to her ear and said harshly, "If you’re looking to spend the rest of your life in jail, just keep talking."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Xiangxin felt wronged but didn’t dare say anything further.
Seeing Zheng Xiangxin finally quiet down, Wei Hanliang couldn’t help but sigh in relief, then apologized once more to Old Master Ding and his family.
However, Old Master Ding coldly said, "You’re not the one at fault. Have your wife apologize to us."
Hearing this, Wei Hanliang looked directly at Zheng Xiangxin and said, "Quickly apologize to Old Ding and them. You went too far today. There is absolutely nothing between me and Ms. Ding Yuejun, yet you insist on spouting nonsense."
Hearing Wei Hanliang speak to her so sternly, Zheng Xiangxin felt somewhat aggrieved, but she knew that today’s apology was unavoidable.
Seeing Wei Hanliang’s attitude towards Old Ding, she realized Old Ding’s status was not ordinary, so she unwillingly mumbled an apology.
"I can’t hear you. Louder."
Upon hearing Old Master Ding’s words, Zheng Xiangxin apologized again, raising her voice slightly this time.
However, Old Master Ding was still unsatisfied, "Don’t say it to me, say it to Yue Jun and Yiyi."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Xiangxin bit her lip, finally closed her eyes, and apologized to Ding Yuejun.
"Dad, let’s go home."
Seeing Zheng Xiangxin finally apologize, Ding Yuejun was reluctant to stay any longer.
Hearing his daughter’s words, Old Master Ding nodded, "Alright, let’s go home."
On the way back, Ding Yuejun couldn’t help but sigh, "I never imagined Wei Hanliang’s wife would be like this. I wonder how Wei Hanliang has endured all these years."
"It doesn’t matter how they live, as long as we live our own lives well," Old Master Ding quickly added.
Yiyi chimed in, "Yes, living our own lives well is what matters most."
Hearing that, Ding Yuejun couldn’t help but smile, "That’s right. Just focus on living our lives."
On the other side, after glaring at Zheng Xiangxin, Wei Hanliang turned to leave the room.
Zheng Xiangxin initially wanted to complain, but seeing Wei Hanliang’s unpleasant expression, she dared not say anything more and followed silently.
Once they returned to the Wei house, Wei Hanliang couldn’t help but shout, "Zheng Xiangxin, can you think before you speak in the future? Stop assuming you can say anything you want. Do you realize you almost ruined the entire Wei family today?"
"What did I say? Stop making false accusations."
"You..."
Seeing Zheng Xiangxin still unrepentant, Wei Hanliang felt an immediate headache.
And Zheng Xiangxin still felt wronged when she saw Wei Hanliang like that.
Soon, the incident spread throughout Shangjing, and others began to feel sympathy for Wei Hanliang. Many were also curious about the situation between Wei Hanliang and Ding Yuejun, wondering if there was truly any connection between them.
But one was from the Ding Family, the other from the Wei Family. They dared not snoop around recklessly.
When Wei Hanyou finally heard of the incident, he pointed at his brother, "Look at the mess you’ve created. Now when I go out, everyone is asking about you two."
Wei Hanliang was surprised, "Why is it like this?"
"I wish I knew why," said Wei Hanyou with displeasure.
