Everyone was suspicious, and Tang Yu immediately exposed everything.
"Heh, Fan Shi, you always say this, but in the end, you keep craving me. You slept with me when you were his girlfriend, you slept with me after accepting his proposal, and even now, when you're about to take vows with him, with all these relatives and friends waiting outside to witness your marriage, you still came to see me."
"No, no, I said I didn't want to, you forced me..." she sobbed.
"Stop deceiving yourself. You used to use that as an excuse, but what about now? Luo Fei knows everything. If you were truly unwilling, one scream would have brought him to save you. Weren't you still cooperating with me? You're just naturally debased, you can't live without me, you can't leave me, so you better be obedient, understand?"
"No, no, it's not like that..."
Though she seemed to be refusing, nobody believed this repeat offender anymore.
Finally, probably annoyed by her crying, a slap could be heard through the speaker.
"Shut up," Tang Yu commanded.
Fan Shi fell silent.
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but wonder if such people really existed in this world. Still so in love after being hit? Rejecting such a good man? Some kind of masochist?
Then came the sound of a door opening, someone seemed to have come out.
Everyone had been listening so intently, with shocking revelations coming one after another, there wasn't even time to process and discuss, let alone catch them in the act.
Coming back to their senses, they felt that since the host hadn't moved, they shouldn't overstep their bounds. They might as well just watch the drama unfold.
However, everyone was more curious about whether that woman would really have the nerve to come and hold the wedding ceremony with Luo Fei.
Luo Fei's face darkened. At this point, how could he let Tang Yu leave? Just as he was about to go find him, Qin Xian mentioned the location.
Without thinking about how Qin Xian knew the location, Luo Fei shot out like an arrow.
Surprisingly, Wu Xingqing was right behind Luo Fei.
Luo's Father, coming to his senses, stumbled after them.
Qin Xian and his family were the quickest to react among the guests.
After all, their drama-watching skills were well-trained. They knew to grab the best spectator seats. Judging by the excited expressions of the Qin family, they were clearly enjoying the show.
Relatives and friends close to Luo Fei immediately swarmed forward.
Other guests, realizing what was happening, all left the hall, some cleverly going around the outside, converging from all directions to watch the excitement.
Everyone was filled with anticipation.
However, just as they approached the rest area connected to the bathroom, the whole group stopped.
Because Tang Yu had already arrived at the rest area and was about to sit down to call Wu Xingqing.
When Wu Xingqing, who had already spotted him, suddenly felt rage rising from within, completely losing her usually cold and aloof demeanor.
Although she had been insulted, she didn't want to lose her dignity over a scumbag. She wanted to break up gracefully, without becoming a laughingstock. But that resentment from being played with in her first love made her lose control when she saw him, rushing forward like a madwoman to confront him.
However, having never been so hysterical before, she was completely unpracticed, and stumbled in her high heels. If she had fallen so awkwardly, it would have been humiliation upon humiliation.
But in the next second, a strong arm caught her around the waist.
Thanks to Luo Fei's police-trained reflexes, otherwise with both of them charging forward like that, no one could have saved her.
This moment seemed to bring back some of Wu Xingqing's lost rationality.
Tang Yu, hearing the commotion, turned around to see Luo Fei catching Wu Xingqing, the two standing extremely close, not noticing the others at first.
Tang Yu immediately stood up, questioning suspiciously: "Qingqing, why are you with Luo Fei?!"
The others who had caught up heard this and fell into an odd silence. Though it should have been a normal question from Tang Yu, why did it sound so ridiculous?
Wu Xingqing stood dazed, raising her reddened eyes, stubbornly holding back tears while glaring at him fiercely.
Tang Yu immediately became anxious, stepping forward to say, "Luo Fei, what nonsense have you been telling Qingqing?"
[Oh, he's worried Luo Fei told Wu Xingqing about what happened back then, which would ruin his chances with her. No wonder he's panicking.]
Hearing Ji Fei's thoughts, Qin Xian couldn't help but look around, finally spotting Ji Fei excitedly watching from the shadows of the plants and corridor near the bathroom.
Qin Xian left Luo Fei's situation alone and slowly moved to his wife's side.
Ji Fei saw him approach and giggled, whispering, "Did you hear that?"
Qin Xian nodded.
Ji Fei became even more delighted, pointing at the bathroom, "The other one hasn't come out yet. I wonder what expression she'll have when she comes out and discovers everything. It must be spectacular, hehe."
Qin Xian's lips curled into a slight smile.
Facing Tang Yu's questioning, Luo Fei's anger had almost burned his throat hoarse. But he smiled strangely and said, "I didn't say anything, but you said quite a lot."
"Huh?" Tang Yu didn't immediately understand. Then he suddenly noticed - were there many people standing in the corridor behind them?
Why were so many people gathered here?
And why were their gazes so strange?
Everyone was staring at him with intense eyes, even more dramatically than when his bullying was exposed before.
Scanning around, he saw that many people were looking at him with murderous intent.
Before he could react, a figure flashed before him, and a hard slap landed on his face.
When Tang Yu looked up in disbelief at Wu Xingqing who had slapped him, she delivered another backhand slap.
"We're done," Wu Xingqing announced word by word, her expression gradually emptying, then looking at Tang Yu as if he were trash, indicating to everyone that this person was now beneath her notice, she no longer cared.
Ji Fei felt it was a pity though - while this protected her dignity and saved face, two slaps weren't enough.
"That beautiful sister's youth is worth more than just two slaps," Ji Fei mumbled.
"Don't worry, there's still Luo Fei," Qin Xian said.
Being publicly slapped and dumped, Tang Yu's anger surged, and he almost revealed his true nature by wanting to hit Wu Xingqing, but he forcefully suppressed it. He raised his hand to grab Wu Xingqing's arm, "Qingqing, don't make such decisions just based on Luo Fei's one-sided words, I..."
But before he could touch Wu Xingqing, Luo Fei raised his foot and violently kicked Tang Yu, sending him almost airborne.
When he crashed to the ground with a bang, he could barely breathe, ending up coughing severely.
[Ouch, that's going to cause internal bleeding.]
This was even harder than the previous fight. Tang Yu was stunned by the pain but sensed something was wrong.
Just then, a cry of surprise rang out.
Everyone turned to look and saw Fan Shi finally emerging from the bathroom in a bathrobe. She had clearly tidied herself up, but upon coming out and seeing another violent scene in the distant rest area, she instinctively cried out. Concerned and flustered, she hadn't noticed anything unusual and still reflexively tried to stop Luo Fei.
"Luo Fei."
Still with that pitiful, crying appearance.
For the first time, Luo Fei felt disgusted by this pitiful act.
"What are you doing here?" Luo Fei suddenly asked.
Fan Shi only then realized her presence was inappropriate, but could only hurriedly explain, "The upstairs bathroom seemed to have some problems, so I came down to use this one. Is it time already? I'll go change clothes now."
Luo Fei let out a meaningful laugh, looking straight at Fan Shi, "You still want to marry me?"
Fan Shi froze, feeling guilty under Luo Fei's gaze. After some confusion, as if hurt by Luo Fei's words, she started being quiet again, head lowered, helplessly calling Luo Fei's name.
Luo Fei closed his eyes briefly, seeming unable to continue speaking.
Finally, a voice spoke up.
"Should our Luo Fei thank you? Despite having someone else in your heart, you're still willing to marry him? Fan Shi, I really want to ask you, what grudge do you have against Luo Fei to treat him like this? Even if he shouldn't have saved you in high school, even if saving you was wrong and against your wishes, and you want revenge, haven't these years of playing with his emotions been enough? Do you still want to ruin my son's entire life?"
Everyone looked toward the voice, which came from Luo's Mother standing on the stairs near Ji Fei and the others.
"Honey, all this..." Luo's Father suddenly realized.
Luo's Mother never spared another glance at Luo's Father.
She simply walked down and approached Fan Shi, who was trembling and stunned, and delivered a sharp slap across her face.
Fan Shi, fragile and weak, collapsed to the ground, holding her stricken cheek.
"Mom..."
"Don't call me mom, you disgusting whore."
With that, Luo's Mother pushed open the bathroom door, grabbed the hidden microphone, and in front of Fan Shi's increasingly pale face and Tang Yu's rigid body, she forcefully tapped the microphone.
The harsh feedback sound echoed from the main hall in the distance, audible even from where they stood.
At that moment, both Fan Shi and Tang Yu understood everything.
In an instant, they both felt as if they were plunging into an abyss, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.
