Chapter 348: Public Confession

Those who were able to attend such a high-level banquet were all shrewd. They had heard that Xia Zijian had countless girlfriends, and now that they heard what he said, all of a sudden, they had formed guesses about the relationship between him and Su Yan. Many people looked at Su Yan with a meaningful expression.

Young Master Xia was a playboy who had seen countless women. Almost all of his girlfriends were obedient to him. They wished they could worship him day and night, and it was rumored that he didn’t care about his girlfriends. Not to mention thanking Wei Zhou on Su Yan’s behalf, he might even scold them.

The most exciting thing for the guests was that Su Yan was Wei Zhou’s ex-wife. The two of them had just divorced at the beginning of last year, and Su Yan was blocked from entering. It was Wei Zhou, the ex-husband, who brought her in. Wasn’t it said that he had always been very disgusted with Su Yan? The most interesting thing was that Xia Zijian actually thanked Wei Zhou on behalf of Su Yan. This was such juicy gossip.

Wei Zhou glanced at Su Yan. Today, Su Yan was wearing a very low-key black backless long dress. She also wore two black lace sleeve sleeves on both of her arms. Her black color made Su Yan’s skin look extremely fair. Su Yan’s neat bangs and light makeup also made her look sexy and elegant. However, her seductive almond-shaped eyes were always cold and distant when she looked at him.

As soon as Xia Zijian came over, Su Yan walked over. It was Su Yan’s casual action that made Wei Zhou feel as if he had been struck by lightning. Even his breathing stopped.

His eyes quivered. Then, he slowly withdrew his gaze. When he shifted his gaze to Xia Zijian’s face, anger rose from the bottom of his eyes as he said coldly, “It’s only right and proper for me to bring the person I like in. Moreover, there’s no need for an outsider like you to thank me on behalf of the person I like.”

Speaking up to this point, he turned his gaze towards Su Yan again and said with a sincere expression, “I like Su Yan. She’s the person I love. When she’s being bullied by others, my heart will naturally ache for her.”

Once these words were said, the entire venue fell silent. If anyone farted at this time, they would probably be able to hear the echo. Everyone looked at Wei Zhou with their mouths agape. After a short period of time, the banquet venue was completely in an uproar.

Not far away, Lan Jian applauded Wei Zhou and said with a smile, “Awesome! As expected of my buddy. He’s really awesome! He’s usually quiet, but now, he dares to confess in public. Not bad. He’s improved.”

After being stunned for a long while, Xia Zijian said, “CEO Wei, if my information is correct, you seem to be Su Yan’s ex-husband now, right?”

…

When he said the word “ex”, he deliberately emphasized it. Not only did he want to stab him in the heart, but he also wanted him to remember his identity at all times.

Wei Zhou ignored his words and said with his hands in his pockets, “So? So what if I’m her ex-husband? So what if she’s my ex? Does it affect my liking for Su Yan?”

His voice wasn’t loud. It was even a little soft, but it was loud enough to reach everyone’s ears. Everyone remembered that this was the second time today that Wei Zhou had admitted that he liked Su Yan in front of everyone. The first time he said it, everyone watched with amusement. But when he said it the second time, everyone took it seriously. Because he was Excellent Era Corporation’s CEO, no one dared to ignore his words; because he was Excellent Era Corporation’s CEO, no one thought that he was joking. As long as there wasn’t something wrong with his brain, everyone knew that Wei Zhou was serious.

After being rebuked by Wei Zhou, the arrogance in Xia Zijian’s heart was stimulated. He smirked as he said arrogantly, “It doesn’t affect you, but you’re already Su Yan’s ex-husband. Do you know what this means? It means that you and Su Yan are not a match. If I remember correctly, the two of you have been married for three years, right? But in the end, it still ended in a divorce. Moreover, Su Yan left home with nothing. She didn’t take a single cent, yet you said that you liked Su Yan and adored Su Yan in front of everyone. Don’t you think it’s a little funny? Most importantly, since Su Yan chose to divorce, it’s enough to show that Su Yan doesn’t like you anymore.”

Hearing Xia Zijian’s words, Wei Zhou felt hurt. Xia Zijian was indeed a difficult person to deal with. He looked carefree and frivolous, but he was very observant. Every word he said could open up the scar in Wei Zhou’s heart bit by bit.
