Chapter 140: Did Not Have Any Nostalgia
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Cheng Xingyang stood among these happy people, but he could not feel any joy at all. Xing Shu was not a child of the Xing family? How could she not be a child of the Xing family? In that case, wouldn’t there be no excuse for their engagement? Suddenly, a sour feeling spread in his chest, accompanied by a slight pain.
Cheng Xingyang felt that he should be happy. The person he liked was Xing Linlin, but why couldn’t he be happy? He did not miss Xing Shu’s expression just now—it was relief… great relief, and the excitement of “good riddance to bad rubbish”. This realization made him very embarrassed. He had known Xing Shu for many years, but she did not have any nostalgia for him.
Wu Minxia and Chen Ru were discussing how to announce to the world that
Xing Linlin was the daughter of the Xing family. Xing Guotai knew that Chen Ru did not like Xing Shu. After all, it was Xing Shu who had spread the viral sex video of Cheng Xingyang and Xing Linlin, and embarrassed the Cheng family. Therefore, in order to please Chen Ru, Xing Guotai revealed the candidate for her marriage—president Chen—a big client of the Xing family’s company. President Chen was in his fifties and his wife had just died. It was rumored that his wife suffered from depression and committed suicide because President Chen had been having affairs. Although President Chen was an unpresentable nouveau riche, he was indeed rich.
Chen Ru was very satisfied with President Chen. Such a person was very compatible with Xing Shu. Wu Minxia agreed without hesitation. When she mentioned Xing Shu, her eyes were filled with disgust. They had wasted so much money on Xing Shu—a bastard of unknown origin. She had to think of a way to recoup the losses.
Xing Shu had already sent Feng Daxiang to the hospital. The doctor who did the paternity test comforted her and left. Too many things had happened tonight. Xing Shu’s mind was in a mess. The Xing family was too impatient. The sex video and photographs had caused an uproar in the Beijing upper-class circle. Therefore, the Xing family quickly sent out the news that Xing Shu was not a member of the Xing family. They even specially emphasized that Xing Linlin was the daughter of the Xing family. It was Xing Shu who played dirty back then and tampered with the paternity test.
Everyone had been mocking Xing Linlin for being a mistress and getting caught in the act with Cheng Xingyang. With the emergence of this news, everyone suddenly did not know what to scold her. After all, Cheng Xingyang was originally engaged to the Xing family’s daughter. Since the Xing family’s daughter was Xing Linlin, the affair between Xing Linlin and Cheng Xingyang could be considered legitimate. Not only did Xing Shu usurp Xing Linlin’s identity, but she also stole her status as Cheng Xingyang’s fiancée. She was simply despicable.
The Beijing upper-class circle was abuzz with this news and everyone joined in the hot gossip. Cheng Lang had never cared about such gossip. He had only added a few WeChat friends and did not even have a WeChat group. When Nie Heng sent him a message, he was still in a meeting. When he saw that the person who sent the message was Nie Heng, Cheng Lang could not be bothered to look at the content of the message.
However, when he saw Xing Shu’s name in Nie Heng’s message, Cheng Lang opened the chat box.
Nie Heng: “The Xing family released news that Xing Shu isn’t their daughter; Xing Linlin is. They’re going to hold a banquet and restore Xing Linlin’s identity with great fanfare. They’re also going to announce that they’re annulling Xing Shu and Cheng Xingyang’s engagement. So, what are your thoughts?”
Cheng Lang: “I don’t have any thoughts.” He replied indifferently. Just as he was about to toss his cell phone aside, Nie Heng sent another message: “Xing Shu is no longer your nephew’s fiancée. Will you still have that feeling of taboo when you screw her? Anyway, you and Xing Shu won’t get married. Take this opportunity to dump Xing Shu.”
Other than Liu Xiangru, all other women were not human in Nie Heng’s eyes at all; they were just tools to vent his lust. Therefore, he did not have any respect for Xing Shu in his words.
It was already 2:00 a.m. and it was raining outside. Cheng Lang’s heart suddenly felt a little stuffy. He thought that it was probably because the weather was not good, and not because of Nie Heng’s inappropriate words.
Nie Heng had just been ripped off by Xing Shu and held a grudge against her.
He had never suffered a setback with a woman before. Hence, when he saw that Cheng Lang had not replied to his messages, he sent another message. “You don’t want to marry Xing Shu, do you? If a woman like Xing Shu falls for you, she will cling onto you and you won’t be able to shake her off.”
“I won’t marry her.” Cheng Lang replied quickly to this question. He had no feelings for Xing Shu and had never thought of marrying her..
