Everyone in the Jian family knew that family disgrace should not be made public. Therefore, everyone in the Jian family stood up and started to retreat. Only Yu Tang, who was burdened with a heavy responsibility, hesitated again and again, and finally stopped.

"Wait, I have something else to say." She raised her hand and sent a message requesting to be left.

"This is our family affair. Does Mrs. Jian want to intervene too?" Old Madam Shang already had a bad impression of her, and after what happened today, her impression of her became even worse.

Jian Yaoshan held her hand tightly and shook his head gently, signaling her not to meddle in other people's business.

Yu Tang was also very tired. It was not that she wanted to meddle in other people's business, but Shan Shan had given her a death order, requiring her to help Chu Muhao keep the child.

With Chu Muhao's fighting ability, it would be good enough for him to protect himself, let alone keep the child by his side.

"Mrs. Shang has misunderstood. I am not a member of the Shang family, so why would I do such a thing?" Yu Tang lied with a businesslike smile, looking straight at Shang Qiancheng and said, "I just have two questions for Mr. Shang."

Shang Qiancheng, who was suddenly called out, looked at Jian Yaoshan in confusion, only to find that the other party was full of murderous aura and he wanted to stab him immediately.

"I don't think I'm familiar with Mrs. Jian." Shang Qiancheng tactfully expressed his refusal to communicate with her further.

"I only need five minutes." Yu Tang knew that he was not enough, so he quickly shook Jian Yaoshan's hand and asked him to say a word for him.

Jian Yaoshan, with a sour face, said in a cold voice: "In that case, we might as well waste a few more minutes of Mr. Jian's time." But there was no way he would let the two of them be alone together.

At this point, Shang Qiancheng had no choice but to agree. He smiled politely and said, "What does Madam Jian want to ask me?" It was just a matter of girls quarreling over hair.

"Mr. Shang, I'm sorry for being so rude." Yu Tang knew that his words were inappropriate, but now was indeed the best time.

Under Shanshan's earnest gaze, she asked in a very desperate tone, "I heard that you and Muhao had a very deep relationship before, but why do I feel like you two don't love each other that much now?"

Most people with some emotional intelligence would not ask such private questions in such occasions. Therefore, when Yu Tang asked this question carelessly, the people present were speechless.

Shang Qiancheng calmly guessed her purpose and said perfunctorily, "It seems that the relationship between us as husband and wife has little to do with Madam Jian."

He swore that if it wasn't for Jian Yaoshan's sake, he would have asked someone to kick Yu Tang out. He really couldn't imagine that Jian Yaoshan would fall in love with such a stupid woman.

Yu Tang looked at Shan Shan awkwardly and spread her hands helplessly. It was not that she didn't ask, but that other people didn't say.

Seeing that things were at a stalemate and Yu Tang suspected that he would be kicked out at any moment, Chu Muhao, who was the least likely to speak, finally opened his mouth.

"You're right, he hasn't loved me for a long time, and I haven't loved him either." In the silence, Chu Muhao's voice was very soft, like a light goose feather falling on the snow, which would disappear without a trace if you weren't paying attention.

She looked at Shang Qiancheng steadily and said with a wry smile: "He married me just to get revenge on me."

"Revenge you? Chu Muhao, you really have no conscience." Shang Qiancheng walked quickly to Chu Muhao's side, holding her fair wrist tightly with rapid breathing, and said aggressively: "Back then, you dumped me first."

He will never forget that the girl to whom he gave all his heart when he was young turned away so heartlessly for her own bright future.

He grabbed her hand and begged her not to leave him alone, but she still left without looking back.

When talking about the past, Chu Muhao felt extremely heavy-hearted, but his face was very calm.

She admitted frankly: "Yes, I dumped you first. Then do you know why I had to break up with you?"

"Why else? Because of money." Old Madam Shang added hastily.

Chu Muhao, who had been arguing with Shang Qiancheng, slowly turned his head and locked his sharp eyes on Madam Shang.

She spoke word by word, "That's because your mother told me that if I insisted on being with you, your life would be ruined. I don't want you, the pride of the country, to become the mud that everyone can trample on." And more importantly, I don't want to drag you down.

Shang Qiancheng obviously didn't believe her. He snorted and rebuked her, "You are still lying even now. My mother has said this to you thousands of times, but you just, just agreed that time."

He agreed when his mother handed him the huge check. If it wasn't for the money, what else could it be for?

"I didn't. I never took a penny from your Shang family." Unable to prove her innocence, Chu Muhao screamed hysterically. She stared at Madam Shang desperately and asked, "Why? Why did you lie? I clearly, clearly didn't take a penny from you."

When this topic was brought up, Mrs. Shang couldn't help feeling guilty. She glanced at Mr. Shang who remained silent, lowered her head and pretended to be dead, not daring to say a word.

What should she say? She said your father had used a trick to alienate you two. If she told the truth, her son would hate her to death.

"Mom, is what she said true?" Shang Qiancheng always thought that Chu Muhao chose to ask for money from his mother secretly because he couldn't bear the hardship and suffering.

Because he witnessed Chu Muhao taking the check with his own eyes, he always believed it without a doubt.

"Son, why do you keep bringing up the past when things are fine?" Old Madam Shang didn't dare to answer directly, and could only say vaguely, "Mom is old and can't remember."

Not denying is admitting, not answering is guilty, Shang Qiancheng knows his mother best. He never expected that he would be fooled and played for so many years.

For a moment, he didn't dare to look up at Chu Muhao, for he was afraid to see her disappointed eyes.

"I chose to leave you back then because I thought I had cancer." Chu Muhao covered Shang Ming's ears tightly, tears flashing in his eyes.

She cried, "The doctor said there was no cure, and I didn't want to burden you. But who would have thought that it was a misdiagnosis by the hospital. When I wanted to look for you again, you had already gone abroad. I can never, ever contact you again."

"Then why didn't you tell me all these years?" Shang Qiancheng grabbed her arm and asked anxiously.

Chu Muhao cried and laughed while shaking his head, and replied: "Because there is no need to say it anymore.

She took out her cell phone and pulled out a photo from the album, which was a photo of Shang Qiancheng and Su Zixin in bed.

"I..." Shang Qiancheng wanted to explain something, but found he didn't know where to start.

"Shang Qiancheng, let's, let's separate." Chu Muhao held back her tears and said with a smile: "Time will not flow back, and a broken mirror is even harder to mend. I have hurt you, and you have hurt me, so let's let each other go."
