Tyrannical Tycoon Haunts Me Relentlessly-Chapter 489: He Also Has His Lonely Moments 9

"Infidelity..." Xia Yinian shuddered, suddenly feeling a sharp pain at the heart, "Now?"

Ah Qiman’s face turned red. This kind of matter was not meant to be spread, but Mr. Gu donated so much money to them every year, not speaking about it seemed somewhat insincere.

"Yes." He nodded, "Everyone was happy, waiting for the wedding. But when the bridesmaids went to find the bride-to-be, they saw her..."

"Impossible!" Xia Yinian denied firmly, "She’s getting married today, how could she be having an affair at this time?"

"Who would be so foolish? Even if she really wanted to cheat, couldn’t she choose another time?"

"Knowing that the bridesmaids will come looking for her, yet she still does such a thing, isn’t she deliberately trying to get caught?"

Ah Qiman moved his lips, wanted to say something, but ended up saying nothing.

How could one clearly explain such a matter? Everyone thought it impossible; isn’t having an affair now akin to courting death?

Xia Yinian appeared very agitated, even more so than the person actually involved, and she grabbed Ah Qiman’s sleeve, wanting to say something.

Ah Qiman looked panicked and hurriedly pushed her away: "Mrs. Gu..."

"Married men here dare not have physical contact with married women, don’t mess around."

Gu Beicheng pulled Xia Yinian’s hand back.

Xia Yinian quickly withdrew her hand, but still looked at Ah Qiman: "What about now? What’s going to happen to the Young Clan Leader’s fiancée now? Is she... going to be punished?"

The words Uncle had said over dinner were still vivid in Yinian’s memory; such an incident would definitely lead to punishment, right?

The key issue now was, what if she was being falsely accused?

It was strange. She actually didn’t know the person involved and knew nothing of the incident’s details, yet she couldn’t help but think of the word "framed."

Most crucially, everyone knew that today someone would surely come to find themselves, needing to get ready for the wedding with makeup and a host of other tasks.

Any sane person wouldn’t be unfaithful at such a time.

What if it was indeed a set-up?

Ah Qiman nodded: "Because she’s the Young Clan Leader’s fiancée, Anna will definitely be punished."

"Will she be thrown into the Min Liu River?" Xia Yinian’s fingertips went cold.

Ah Qiman subconsciously looked at Gu Beicheng. Gu Beicheng wanted to shake his head, but Yinian saw the unease in Ah Qiman’s eyes.

"Uncle, don’t let them deceive me."

Anxious to get back, Ah Qiman didn’t want to stay any longer. With no other choice, he finally said: "You can also come and have a look. The trial is public."

...

After Ah Qiman left, Xia Yinian immediately grabbed Gu Beicheng’s hand: "Let’s go have a look too."

Since there was a trial, there must still be room for recourse.

"Why are you so sure she’s been framed?" Gu Beicheng noticed her thoughts.

"Today is the wedding; if you really want an affair, would you deliberately choose today, craving to get caught?"

Xia Yinian’s words left Gu Beicheng unable to refute. In fact, he also felt the situation was too suspicious.

However, it was someone else’s business, and they were outsiders; it really wasn’t appropriate to interfere.

"If she is being falsely accused, I will not stand by and do nothing."

Yinian raised her head, glaring at him, and suddenly, she felt wronged herself.

"I want to help her."

"You don’t know her, and you don’t understand what kind of person she is. What if she truly is..."

"I don’t believe it, she’s at least not a fool!"

How could a fool marry the Young Clan Leader?

She bit her lip, eyes slightly moist, "I want to help her, because... I have also been wronged before!"
