Song Jinning knew that it had to be the letter she had written herself. The line "Tears fall from my eyes, I regret not meeting you before we were married" was the last straw that broke Huo Guanchen's back.
Bai Jinyi's face burned fiercely. Thankfully, her skin was darker and she wore a thick layer of foundation, concealer, and blush, so it was hard to tell.
Faced with Song Jinning's unexpected pressure, Bai Jinyi couldn't help retreating. At this point, she didn't know how much Song Jinning knew, nor was she sure how far the Bai family would go for her. She could only insist, "What letter? What are you talking about? Don't make things up! If you're talking about the letter you wrote to Huo Guanyuan, I can tell you that the handwriting experts from the Ministry of Justice and the military have already verified that it was indeed written by you. How else are you going to deny it? Are you saying that the handwriting experts from the military and the Ministry of Justice are also fake? "
"Physicist Bai, we're talking about you. Why are you dragging other people into this?" Gu Nianzhi interrupted the confrontation between Song Jinning and Bai Jinyi. She was worried that Song Jinning would say too much in her anger. If the Bai family found out about their plan, they would retaliate in advance. "Of course we trust the handwriting experts from the military and the Ministry of Justice. There's no doubt about the authenticity of that letter. Do you think they're like you, just here to make up the numbers? "
"You're the one who's fake!" Bai Jinyi almost fainted from anger. She had worked hard for so many years, and of course she had achievements. But Gu Nianzhi's words made it sound like all her achievements in life were fake. She felt like crying, "I said the Huo family's business has nothing to do with me!" As she spoke, she turned to look at Huo Guanchen. She wanted nothing more than to take the ring off her hand and throw it at the face staring blankly at Song Jinning.
But when she looked up, she saw Bai Yueran standing diagonally behind Huo Guanchen.
Bai Yueran hadn't said a word. Her expression was calm, but when she saw that Bai Jinyi was about to take the ring off, she shook her head slightly.
Bai Jinyi's hand froze, and her mind raced for a long time. In the end, she didn't take the engagement ring off. Instead, she rubbed the ring with her finger and said gently to Huo Guanchen, "Guanchen, it was my fault today. I've embarrassed you. But what I said earlier was out of spite. You understand me the best. You know very well why I chose to be with you back then. I have never hidden my feelings for your elder brother from you. I know how good you have been to me all these years. People change. I've changed, and so have you. Would you forgive me if I told you that I didn't remember your brother in my heart and only remembered you? In the past ten years, we have proven that we are the most suitable. "
The corners of Gu Nianzhi's mouth twitched as she listened. She felt Song Jinning's arm tremble slightly and sighed inwardly. Song Jinning must be feeling terrible right now, right?
"Physicist Bai, can you please shut the door and tell General Huo these mushy words of love that can't be any more fake? Please take care of our fragile little hearts … Seeing you act in an idol drama at your age with wrinkles all over your face, we onlookers' hearts all crumble! "Gu Nianzhi covered her eyes and made a gesture of" I can't bear to watch. "
Bai Jinyi had originally planned to use some soft words to move Huo Guanchen's heart, because she knew best where Huo Guanchen's weakness and weakness were …
As long as Huo Guanchen was still by her side, even ten Song Jinning's wouldn't be a match for her.
Unfortunately, Gu Nianzhi had interrupted her. She couldn't bring herself to "confess" no matter what. She could only glare at Gu Nianzhi and laugh coldly. "Today was supposed to be my engagement ceremony with Guanchen, and you two suddenly came to ruin it. You're saying it's my fault, what a joke."
"Bai Jinyi, don't worry, I'm definitely not here to ruin it." Song Jinning's face was a little pale, but her voice was still calm. "I divorced Huo Guanchen ten years ago. Although I had no memories or feelings at the time, a divorce is a divorce. The legal procedures are all in place, and I accept it."
Bai Jinyi's eyes flashed with a hint of smugness. Her expression softened. "It's good that you know. If the old doesn't go, the new won't come. Think about it, with your looks and ability, it won't be difficult for you to remarry. "
"That's my private matter, don't worry about it." Of course, Song Jinning wasn't here to reminisce about old times with Bai Jinyi. "But a divorce is a divorce. You slandered my reputation and got me divorced. I must get justice for that." Song Jinning finally looked at Huo Guanchen, who had been ignoring her all this time.
The corners of Huo Guanchen's mouth twitched violently, but he still didn't say a word. He only stared at Song Jinning.
16 years had stopped for this woman. She was even more beautiful than she had been 16 years ago. She was so beautiful that it left people speechless.
"Huo Guanchen, I'll also say this. Whether it was in the past, now, or in the future, I have never been unfaithful to my husband. Not only have I never cheated on him, but I've never even had a man in my heart who wasn't my husband. "Song Jinning said honestly. Her misty eyes shone with tears. She was stunningly beautiful.
Huo Guanchen couldn't help walking towards her as if he was bewitched.
Bai Jinyi came to her senses. She knew she couldn't let go of Huo Guanchen. She quickly grabbed him and said angrily to Song Jinning, "You're still saying you're not here to mess things up?! You confessed to my fiancé at my engagement ceremony. Do you think I'm dead?! "
"Didn't you think Ms. Song was dead? You swaggered into the room and used treating Ms. Song's illness as an excuse to seduce her husband. Why can't she even say a word now? It seems like this is the typical style of the Bai family. Only state officials are allowed to set fires, but the common people are not allowed to light lamps … "Gu Nianzhi stabbed Bai Jinyi with dissatisfaction.
Song Jinning also raised her slender, willowy eyebrows. "Which word of mine was a confession to your fiancé? Say it, there are so many people here today. "
"Still not admitting it?" Bai Jinyi repeated Song Jinning's words with a sneer. "… Whether it was in the past, now, or in the future, I have never been unfaithful to my husband. Not only have I never cheated on him, but I've never even had a man in my heart who wasn't my husband. Say it! Isn't this a confession to my fiancé?! "
Gu Nianzhi giggled. Her crisp, sweet laughter was very pleasing to the ear. She tilted her head slightly and stroked her hair. She said to Bai Jinyi, "Physicist Bai, do you not understand human language? Ms. Song made it very clear that her loyalty, in the past, now, and in the future, was only to the man who was her husband. May I ask if your fiancé is her husband? "
"Isn't he?!" Bai Jinyi blurted out. As soon as she said it, she knew she had fallen into Gu Nianzhi's trap again.
"Haha, if your fiancé is Ms. Song's husband, and you're still engaged to him, are you trying to be a mistress and ruin a military marriage?!" As expected, Gu Nianzhi was eloquent enough to cut her off. "Look carefully. Your fiancé is Ms. Song's ex-husband. Ex-husband! Do you know how to write the word 'ex-husband'? And Ms. Song's loyalty is only to her husband. As for her ex-husband … "Gu Nianzhi didn't look at Huo Guanchen. She smiled and said," … Physicist Bai doesn't need to help me make my presence known in front of Ms. Song. "
"Shut up! Who are you to interrupt when your elders are talking? You have no manners at all. "Bai Changhui couldn't stand it anymore. He spoke up to help Bai Jinyi out.
Of all the Bai family members, Bai Changhui and Bai Jinyi were the closest siblings.
Gu Nianzhi pouted and snuggled up to Song Jinning.
Song Jinning patted her hand, then turned to Bai Changhui and said coldly, "Mr. Bai, Miss Gu is my legal representative. Her opinion is my opinion."
Bai Jinyi and Bai Changhui exchanged a glance. They had a feeling this was going to be a tricky situation.
"Song Jinning, this is a private matter between you and I. We can discuss it in private when we have time. You're making everyone unhappy. Even if you don't want to get back together with Guanchen, everyone can't help but think so." Bai Jinyi's eyes darted to Song Jinning to shut her up.
Of course Gu Nianzhi wouldn't let Song Jinning take the bait from Bai Jinyi. She immediately retorted, "Physicist Bai, you're wrong. Everyone can see that Miss Song has no intention of getting back together. You're the only one who's worried that Miss Song will ask to get back together. It's no wonder you know you can't compare to Miss Song. At least you know your place. You're not hopeless. I'll give you a thumbs up. "
"You —!" Bai Jinyi's blood vessels were about to burst from Gu Nianzhi's repeated provocations.
"We're not here today because of your fiancé, and certainly not to ask to get back together. Don't overthink it. We're here because it's a matter of life and death. " Song Jinning glanced at her coolly, then turned to look at Huo Jialan, who was being supported by the servants. She said coldly, "Jialan, come over here. I have something to ask you."
Huo Jialan's entire body trembled. She wore a reluctant expression and turned her head away. She refused to look at Song Jinning.
"Huo Jialan, what's wrong with you? Don't you hate that evil woman who forced your mother to commit suicide? Now that the truth is out, you hate the wrong person. Why don't you even apologize? " Gu Nianzhi did not hesitate to expose Huo Jialan's weak facade. "You hated Miss Song for ten years, and abused her for ten years. If you really did it to avenge your mother, I respect you as a filial daughter and won't say anything. After all, you were deceived by Physicist Bai and thought your mother's death was because of Miss Song. But now that Physicist Bai has admitted that she was the one who coveted your father and caused your mother's death, why don't you hate her at all? How strange, are you really a filial daughter? You tortured Miss Song for so many years. Was it really to avenge your mother? "
"Of course it was for my mother!" Huo Jialan was flustered by Gu Nianzhi's words. "And how did I abuse her? I ate well and lived well … "
"Shut up." Gu Nianzhi cut her off coldly. "Don't make me reveal all the good things you've done all these years. The servants of the Huo family are still alive. The attic on the third floor where Miss Song lived for ten years is still untouched. You've miscalculated if you want to confuse right and wrong in front of me. "
