《If We Cannot Grow Old Together》C27. Just for Marrying Me

“Let’s talk about it backwards. You cheated me about the bone marrow transplant. So your aplastic anemia is also a lie. Then let’s talk about the accident of falling off the building. At the beginning, you told me that Mu Ziyou pushed you. Do you have any evidence?”
“This...” From the man’s expression, Xia Wanyan can tell that he must have known the truth. But where did he get the clue?
In fact, she deliberately asked Mu Ziyou to meet her on the rooftop, because she carefully checked the place and found no surveillance camera there. So no matter what happened, only she and Mu Ziyou knew the truth. Thanks to Li Qiaosheng’s trust on her then, she knew that Li Qiaosheng would believe her no matter what she said and no one would listen to Mu Ziyou even if she explained.
Thinking of this, Xia Wanyan feels that he is likely to be swindling her. She thinks over her words and continues, “In fact, she did not push me down on purpose. At that time, I was so irritated by her words that I said, ‘I wish you could enjoy eternal love. Since I am really a redundant person, I’d better jump down from here!’ She just took up where I had left off, and said, ‘Jump then. Do you need me to do you a favor?’ I didn’t think she would really want me to jump down, so I got a little scared and wanted to get back to the safe place. Unexpectedly, she got angry and raised her hand. I lost my balance and fell off...”
“Oh? You can still remember it so clearly even though it happened such a long time long. Unfortunately, there is something wrong with your memory. I think you have got it messed up with some shit plots from certain TV series. Do you need me to help you recall them?” The man gives several taps on his phone screen while saying these words.

Xia Wanyan moves forward and sees the surveillance image. Instantly all her hopes were shattered to pieces!
Li Qiaosheng, however, relishes one of the details. “You see, after talking eloquently for a while, it was your own choice to jump down from the rooftop. Youyou even did not stretch out her hand. Is it possible that she pushed you with her mind?”
“Brother Qiaosheng, it was my fault and I admit it. She didn’t push me. At that time, I was disheartened and didn’t want to live any longer. I couldn’t bear watching you two get married and she kept talking to me about your love story. I really can’t stand it, so I...” The only relief for Xia Wanyan is that no sound in the video can be heard.
But the man has lost trust in her totally because of her constant lying and does not want to listen to any of her explanations at all.
Then he continues questioning, “And about my mother. You have admitted that it was you who pushed her down the stairs instead of Mu Ziyou. Oh, I almost forgot one thing: In order to pay for her mother’s medical bills, Mu Ziyou borrowed money from the usury, which turned out to be a naked loan. You played the trick, didn’t you?”
“I –”
Sure enough, this man is unfathomable. Whatever he wants to find out will never remain concealed any more.
Before giving into her destiny, Xia Wanyan struggles for the last stroke as she is used to, “Brother Qiaosheng, in fact, the truth is not like what you think of. At the beginning, Youyou chose the usury, but the interest was too high. Later she heard that the interest of naked loan was lower and changed her mind. It’s none of my business. I... I did suggest that she choose the naked loan, but she is the one who made the final decision, isn’t she?”

“You don’t think I can tell that the picture is composite?”
Just one sentence renders Xia Wanyan’s face paler.
She should have admitted it directly! It would be better if she had directly admitted that she envied Mu Ziyou and couldn’t bear to see the affectionate happiness between her and Brother Qiaosheng. It is true that the more one talks, the more mistakes s/he will make...
“Well, I don’t want to list the rights and wrongs between you and Mu Ziyou. What’s your aim to get close to her deliberately? Just for marrying me?”
The man looks down at her disdainfully out of the corner of his eyes. Xia Wanyan knows that she cannot hide the truth anymore tonight, so she changes her pattern and begins to play an affectionate drama. “Yes, Brother Qiaosheng. I... I did all those just for such a simple purpose! Have you forgotten that you said you would marry me? Later we grew up, I accidentally got to know that you lived together from Mu Ziyou. Since then, I tried my best to please her and made friends with me. Then we became the best friends. I would be satisfied to get a glimpse of you from a distance when she invited me over to play at your home.”
“Brother Qiaosheng, you belonged to me and we were in love, weren't we? But at the end she became your wife, which made me so sad that I was about die because of the sadness –”
“Then you deliberately designed the scheme of your being blocked by several men in the alley, which deliberately disturbed our wedding night. You calculated the time so that I could arrive in time to save you. Isn’t it the truth?” Li Qiaosheng doesn’t intend this sentence as a question because his tone is extremely positive.
Even Though Raised in the Affluent and Influential Family.
