Because I simply love you

Chapter 140: Chen celebration banquet: Unmasking Huian (2)

The empty vial was clearly visible to everybody.

Just how many shocks they got within a single night couldn't be even counted on fingers anymore. They never thought that this celebration will unveil so many secrets!

What happened that made the wife drug her own husband?

"Huian seriously did that?"

"But why? Isn't their relationship going good?"

"It must be all an act. What do we know what goes inside?"

"I think that's why even after two years there is no news about their child."

"She must be really desperate. Still, fooling him to sleep with her is horrible."

"That means she is to only blame herself for what happened tonight."

Huian clearly heard their murmurs.

Xiang Qingge asked, "Huianis this true?"

"No, mom!"

"Oh please! Now don't say the typical line that somebody snatched your purse and put the vial in it to frame you. That has gotten old now.", Jing said.

"Please tell the truth. We saw you mixing something just as Jing said. We all were there. Did you really try to force Jinhai in", Xiang Qingge couldn't complete it. "Why?"

Grandma Liu interjected, "That is enough. This is our family matter. We can talk about this at home. No need to make a scene here."

"Why grandma? If Suyin can be exposed, why not her?", Jing refused to drop it.

"Jing!"

"Grandma.", Jinhai said. "I want to know. Here itself."

That's it. He gave the ultimatum.

Liu Hai said, "That's right."

Xiang Qingge said, "We know Jinhai had some reservations about having a child, butthis is not the way Huian! How can you do this!?" She was very furious and disappointed.

"This is not true!"

Assistant Xin asked, "Then why did you attack me? I told you that I know everything and out of fear you struck me with a vase and knocked me out. I was unconscious for three hours."

Everybody gasped. They saw dried blood on his head. She even attacked him to protect herself? How can she become so vicious?

That is right. When they reached Jinhai's room, they found Xin hurt on his head

Xiang Qingge too, just for a second, had seen Huian talking to Xin during the announcement.

Mother and Father Xiang looked at her as if she was a stranger.

Is she really our daughter who we raised so lovingly?

Xin continued, "You can also check the cameras of the thirteenth-floor corridor. We went together inside her room to talk, but she must have come out alone."

Amidst all their questioning and disbelieving gazes, Huian was trembling.

She went up to Jinhai and looked at him pitifully. "Jinhai, I'm sorry! I'm really sorry. Please forgive me. II mixed the aphrodisiac in your drink. I didn't mean to harm you, trust me."

"Trust you?", Jing snickered. "You still want us to trust you?"

Liu Hai shook his head. "Huian. I'm disappointed in you. You were being selfish. You didn't even think about the future of your own child. A child needs both of his parents love. You will love him, that is for sure. But what about Jinhai? The child won't even know what is his mistake that his father doesn't love him. Do you want your child to live a life like that?"

"I"

Chen Liling said in outrage. Jinhai was her dear nephew after all. "Do you think this is some kind of joke Huian!? Even if both of you are married you don't get any right to force him to sleep with you. This is as good as you are using your child as a tool, merely as a bargaining chip."

"No!", She cried.

"And out of all people, YOU had the nerve to blame Suyin? When everything that has happened is partly because of you! You are the other culprit responsible for this mess. You even accused Nana. Didn't your conscience hurt even a little bit?"

She had nothing to say. She only stood there crying. She couldn't even reveal that she was kidnapped by the mystery man. They will ask all kinds of questions regarding his identity and she can't answer them. What if they get to know about the other truth?

Jinhai mocked, "Did you think that a child will be able to save our marriage?"

What? Save their marriage? What does it mean? Are they going to divorce?

The happy and perfect marriage that everyone envied was on the verge of separation?

"Did you plan to use the child as a mere tool to save our crumbling relationship?"

Xiang Wei asked in confusion, "What do you mean? Why are you talking like this?"

Huian quickly said, "It's nothing Dad-"

"I told her that I want a divorce.", he cut her off with this earth-shattering truth.

Everybody gasped loudly. Even the reporters felt dizzy with the bombardment of so many breaking news one after the other. For the first time, they were confused to decide which news to start tomorrow's headlines from.

Nana looked at him appalled.

When did their marriage reach this point?

"What!?", Xiang Wei shouted.

Grandma Liu was enraged. "Liu Jinhai!"

Huian looked at him stupefied. He actually said that in front of everyone

"You mean to say that this has been going on for a while? Since when?", Liu Chunhua asked in disbelief.

Assistant Xin decided to expose Huian. At first, he was skeptical about whether to wait till they go back home or reveal everything here itself in front of all guests. But, now everything is as clear as a day.

"Madam Liu. The divorce talks may have surfaced only a while back, but their marriagewas already a failure since it began."

Xiang Qingge asked, "Failure? Don't talk nonsense. Today there might be some problems, but they were always happily married."

"Married? Yes. Happilynot quite."

Jing asked feigning innocence, "What do you mean Assistant Xin? We don't understand."

"Mom, Dad. Don't listen to him!", Huian was panicking.

Xin looked at Jinhai and said, "Sir. Two years back, Lady Liu set a ploy. The marriage certificate papers that you unknowingly signed was a trap set by her."
