Contractual Marriage: We’re Meant to Be Together

232. Do You Admit You Are a Love Cheater?

“Fine.” Wei Qing nodded and pointed to the long glass table in the corner of the banquet hall and said, “There are your favourite matcha puddings and pastries. You stay there first and eat. I have to deal with my business with my men.”

Yan Chuyang was stunned and he snorted, saying nonchalantly, “You want to keep your distance with me so soon?”

“Be a good boy. Eat what you like and don’t leave. Remember to come over when I call you.”

Yan Chuyang grunted, “How can I want to come over…” With that, he strode towards the long glass table.

As he watched the boy walk to the table and start to get a plate to fetch the food, Wei Qing felt relaxed slightly.

As long as the boy started to eat, there was no need to fear that he would leave.

If he met food, he would not be able to move a step from it.

As Wei Qing was thinking, his phone vibrated in his pocket.

The man took the phone out and put it to his ear, “Hello?”

“Mr. Wei, everyone has arrived and is staying at the World Trade Hotel. Do you want them to go there now?”

Wei Qing raised his head to look at the table and said in a deep voice, “Come over, all of them.”

“Okay. We should be at the company in half an hour.”

“Good. If you arrive, come straight to the banquet hall on the first floor.”

“Okay.”

Wei Qing hummed and hung up the phone, lifting his eyes and turning his head to look at the boy in front of the table who was looking down and sniffing at his dessert.

The banquet went on in a harmonious manner.

Yan Chuyang kept eating while Wei Qing kept talking; he was toasting with men and women with a goblet in his hand. He was a big boss after all and it wasn’t long before he was surrounded by a number of beautiful women with perfume aroma.

The more Yan Chuyang chewed on the cake, the more he felt uncomfortable. Wei Qing was really true to his word. He said he wanted to keep the distance and he really left Yan Chuyang here alone for half an hour.

If Wei Qing was going to leave him here alone, if he was afraid that people would misunderstand their relationship, then why did he bring Yan Chuuyang over? Was he just bringing Yan Chuyang over for a good meal? But there was more delicious food at home than this.

Yan Chuyang felt he couldn’t understand Wei Qing’s mind anymore.

As he was thinking about it, the glass door of the banquet hall was suddenly slammed open and a group of people in black suits burst in, each some equipment for filming or reporting.

There were cameras, tripods, recorders, microphones, and all sorts of lighting as if an idol drama was about to be filmed here.

Everyone at the banquet hall was frozen in their tracks; obviously, no one knew what kind of drama this was.

But what made Yan Chuyang’s jaw drop even more was the fact that the people carrying the cameras were all swarming towards Wei Qing and each of them was extending their microphones towards him.

In just a few minutes, Wei Qing was already surrounded by the crowd and there were more than ten microphones under his chin.

This was followed by aggressive breath-taking questions.

“Mr. Wei, is it true what was reported this morning?”

“People in the know say that you’re married and have a daughter, but you’ve been cheating on your wife and don’t want to take your responsibility, so you’ve been leaving her outside, right?”

“It was also revealed that your daughter had a fever the other day and you didn’t even visit her, and you told your wife that you wouldn’t go over and that she deserved the death of her child. Is that true?”

“It was also said that you made your fortune from women, but once you got rich, you dumped your wife who helped you mercilessly. Did it really happen?”

“Do you admit that you are a love cheater that is well-known in the business circle?”

……

Wei Qing didn’t say anything from the beginning; he just pursed his lips and let those blinding camera lights flash on him and let those aggressive words slam at him.

Yan Chuyang stood frozen by the table; his brain stopped working as he saw this.

‘What are they talking about?’

‘What wife? What daughter? What love cheater?’

‘Wei Qing isn’t like that at all!’

‘Who is the wife they are talking about? Shen Shimin? But he and Shen Shimin aren’t married! And the child wasn’t his! These people must have got it wrong!’

‘And what do they mean by “she deserved the death of the child”? He had been with Shen Shimin’s daughter for several days when she was sick. He had even worn parent-child outfits for the child, which he had never done before!’

‘There must be a mistake!’

‘Refute! Wei Qing! Talk back to them!’

‘How can you allow them to babble that nonsense that you’ve never done before?!’

Yan Chuyang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

But Wei Qing didn’t say anything.

He remained silent throughout. His face grew paler and paler.

The questioning continued.

“Mr. Wei, do you think that a person as underhanded as you is qualified to be the CEO of a big company with a clean reputation?”

“Mr. Wei, why are you not speaking? Or do you really have a bad conscience?”

“Do you think karma will come back to you and your family for all the unconscionable things you’ve done?”

‘Karma?!!! Unconscionable?!!! And he’s involving Wei Qing’s family!!!’

“Hey!!!” Yan Chuyang smashed his cake to the ground and ran through the crowd, pushing aside the people with microphones and cameras until he moved in front of Wei Qing, opening his arms to protect the man and shouting in a cold voice.

“What nonsense are you talking about? Do you have any evidence for what you are saying? Are you all journalists? If you are all journalists, it’s against the law to publish rumours like this! You’ll go to jail!”

The crowd, which had been noisy, fell silent because of the boy’s sudden intrusion.

But after two or three seconds of silence, the reporters again ignored him completely and continued to extend their microphones to Wei Qing.

“Mr Wei, you have not taken a position since the beginning. Are you acquiescing to what we have said?”

“You finally admit that you are a heartless love cheater who abandoned your wife and child. Is that correct?”

“Do you feel that your irresponsible behaviours will have an impact on the company’s shares?”
