“Stop pretending, weren’t you so angry that you attacked me back then?” Xue Zheng sneered. “I don’t f*cking understand why Zhuang Tianyao took a liking for a coward like you back then. Is being a judge that great? I don’t think so, at the crucial moment, you still rely on me.”
Xu Baohan put the almond into his mouth and chewed slowly. His calm gaze seemed as though he did not put anyone in his eyes at all.
Xue Zheng was inexplicably annoyed, “It’s a pity that Zhuang Tianyao treated me as a scavenger. She thought that I would really be with her if I helped her family. I wouldn’t want what others wanted. I’m tired of playing with her all these years. She thought that I would marry her, fat hope.”
“Xue Zheng…” Xu Baohan slowly stood up, his gaze sharp. “What are you trying to say? Are you bragging about how you stole Zhuang Tianyao back then? Didn’t you like her back then?”
“Ha, I did like her, but she chose you when I pursued her. How could I, Xue Zheng, not be comparable to you?” Xue Zheng scoffed. “I only helped her back then to toy with her.”
“If you wanted to toy with her, then there’s no need for you to be so jealous and hate me. You’ve said so much to me here because you’re unwilling to accept it, so you wanted to vent your anger on me.” Xu Baohan’s gaze gradually darkened, “I don’t care what your motives are, Zhuang Tianyao and I are already in the past. Please stay away from me. Besides, this is the Xiao family’s wedding. Let’s get it right, this isn’t a place for you to make a scene.”
“You…” Xue Zheng clenched his fists, his eyes sparkling.
“Baohan, who is this?”
An Lan walked over at this moment. She sized Xue Zheng Up. He wasn’t bad looking, but standing beside Xu Baohan, it was the difference between a genuine and a pirated version of Taobao.
Xue Zheng’s gaze landed on her, a flash of surprise and astonishment. After a while, he smiled strangely, “Judge Xu, this is…”
Xu Baohan smiled calmly, his thin lips moving slightly. “Mr. Xue, you can get out of here now.”
“…” An Lan was speechless.
Xue Zheng’s expression changed several times, suddenly, he smiled. “You don’t have to hate me so much, right? i didn’t mean to snatch your fiancée away back then. She insisted on following me. What can i do? But if you couldn’t let her go, you could continue chasing after her. Since we’ve already broken up, there’s no need for you to send a message to Tianyao in the middle of the night telling her to return to your side.”
An Lan furrowed her brows, a cold glint flashing in Xu Baohan’s eyes. “Xue Zheng, you can go to jail for spouting nonsense sometimes.”
“If you don’t want people to know, don’t do it yourself,” Xue Zheng sneered. “Do you know why I agreed to break up with her in the end? It was because I found out that Zhuang Tianyao had an abortion because of you.”
An Lan’s mind was buzzing, and she was momentarily absent-minded.
Xu Baohan’s eyes flared up, and he reached out to grab Xue Zheng’s collar. “Try spouting nonsense again. Zhuang Tianyao and I have never had an intimate relationship.”
“I didn’t expect you to come up with such a ridiculous lie when you’re desperate,” Xue Zheng scoffed. “You’ve been together for two years, and you’re already engaged to each other. Who would believe that you haven’t had an intimate relationship yet?”
An Lan lowered her eyelashes and fell silent.
Xu Baohan glanced at her, his fists cracking.
“What? This is the Xiao family’s wedding, you’re not going to attack me, are you?” Xue Zheng raised his chin.
An Lan suddenly woke up and looked at Xu Baohan, who was very tense. She sighed and reached out to grab his arm. “Don’t attack him here, there are media everywhere.”
