Chapter 38: Engagement, Farce? Tragedy!

  Wishing you prosperity and good fortune! Buddhist disciples bow in gratitude to all readers!

  Among the whispers of the crowd, no one noticed that a pile of things was thrown out by Du Haisheng at lightning speed, accurately and ruthlessly hitting Hu Diehua's skirt with a bright red glow and a smile.

  The butterfly saw something stuck to itself, and couldn't help but frown, scanning around in a circle. Not seeing anything unusual about the people nearby, it couldn't help but feel puzzled - who was playing a prank on itself during such a grand and solemn ceremony?

  Lowering her head, she looked at the neatly stacked and undamaged things, which seemed to be some newspapers. Hu Die bent down and picked them up with a puzzled expression.

  Lin Xuehuai, who was chatting happily with others, noticed his fiancée's unusual behavior and turned around to take a look, asking with feigned concern: "What's wrong?"

  "Oh, nothing much, someone hit me with a newspaper, it should be a prank!"

  Hudie responded with a sound, bent over and curiously opened the newspaper, couldn't help but glance at it twice.

  Lin Xuehuai saw this scene and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. The newspapers hadn't all been snatched up by his own men, so how did they still appear?!

  This morning, he received a phone call from an old friend and told him everything that had happened. Lin Xue's face turned gray at the time, and he suddenly became furious, guessing in his heart which bastard was playing this huge joke on himself. The two women last night, when he brought them back to their residence, no one noticed, how did someone secretly take photos of them.

  What's more important is that today is his engagement ceremony with Hu Die. Given Hu Die's personality, if she finds out about this, it will be difficult for the two of them to make things work, and probably this fiancée title will also come to nothing!

  He no longer hesitated, mobilizing all his forces, including buying some newspapers with a lot of money. Of course, those influential and wealthy newspapers like Shen Bao, Jing Bao, and Minguo Daily didn't bother with him.

  Still, the photos and content were printed and distributed. Helpless, he had to contact the underworld to intercept all newspapers on the market, those who didn't comply would be killed!

  He's not only a playboy, but also a beast in human skin. He thought he had done everything perfectly, but didn't expect that man's plan can't beat heaven's plan. Wu Tianyun has enough channels to get the newspaper he wants in Shanghai.

  It turned out that Du Haisheng, Wu Guanjia and others did not expect that the person who made the robbery report today was actually this hypocritical guy with a wolf-like ambition!

  "Who's playing such a nasty trick? I'd rather not watch the engagement ceremony!"

  Angrily muttering to himself, Lin Xuehuai reached out and was about to snatch the newspaper from Hu Die's hand. He absolutely could not let her see the words and content on it.

  Unfortunately, everything was too late. Hu Die dodged Lin Xue's snatch with a quick move and still opened the newspaper with curiosity.

  It's all over... It's all over...

  Who the hell has such a deep hatred for me, must put me to death, once I find out, I'll castrate him, let him never become a man!

  Lin Xue's heart was filled with resentment, but it was too late and nothing could be done about it.

  At this time, Hu Die looked at the obscene and unbearable photos and words in the newspaper, like a sharp knife, cutting his heart bit by bit, making him heartbroken and suffering...

  He didn't dare believe everything in front of him, hoping that everything on the newspaper was just a dream. When he woke up from the dream, everything would be empty!

  And who else could be standing next to him in the newspaper but his fiancé?

  Is this the man who once swore to love only me for a lifetime, never having a second heart, with sweet words always on his lips, making himself happy?

  He hesitated, wavered, and was even more bewildered, as if he couldn't see the true nature of everything, but now it's like being struck by a thunderbolt on a clear day.

  That deeply loved man, the man who made her willing to give up everything, turned out to be a beast in human skin, a debauched and unbridled vagabond!

  How can this not make her heart ache, feel cold, and lose hope...

  Two lines of tears gushed out, instantly blurring her eyes, while the man in her eyes was like a demon!

  Bang...

  A loud and crisp slap rang out!

  Everyone in the field stopped talking, forgot to breathe, and stared blankly at the sudden change that occurred between the golden boy and jade girl in the field...

  Anger, irritation, heartbreak, all the complexities tore her heart to shreds. This slap was what pushed her over the edge into an even more extreme collapse.

  "Damn it..."

  Finally, everything converged into one sentence that burst out of her mouth, but those eyes were no longer pure and seemed to have a hint of absolute anger.

  Those who didn't know the inside story all looked at each other in confusion, what the hell is going on, two perfect couples like golden boys and jade girls, fighting at the engagement ceremony?

  Everyone noticed the newspaper in Hu Die's hand, and they all expressed their curiosity, wanting to know what was on that newspaper that made the scene so awkward and unexpected.

  Those who knew the inside story didn't say a word, mostly men. Men, after all, often have affairs behind their wives' backs, it's just that they haven't been caught red-handed yet.

  After today's farce, I'd better think carefully about it. At least there are people who want to deal with you, even if you're careful, you can't escape.

  Some people are puzzled and guessing, some are secretly delighted, making sarcastic remarks, and watching the show. Human hearts are complicated, and it's already been revealed through their facial expressions!

  Du Haisheng also couldn't bear to see this scene, but he thought that it's better to suffer a short pain than a long one. If the final outcome was going to be so tragic, then it would be better to let Hu Die's entire trajectory change now!

  With a slap in the face, Hu Die finally burst into tears. After all, she was also a person, and more importantly, an emotionally fragile woman. How could she endure such a blow at her engagement ceremony?

  Looking at the man in front of her, she cried bitterly, making people who heard it feel as if their hearts were being torn apart! They were all silent.

  "I'm all for you, not thinking of myself, not thinking for my own sake. In the world of emotions, how can one easily fake it? You, this love cheat, killer, how could you treat my true heart like this? With dozens of women, you're fine, aren't you, Lin Xuehuai? You, this hypocrite, I hate you, and will hate you for all eternity!"

  Hudie got more and more indignant as she spoke, turned around and was about to run away, but was pulled back by Lin Xuehuai...

  "Hudie, please give me another chance. I was wrong before, I was a beast, shameless and despicable. Forgive my past mistakes, I was just momentarily confused, but I truly love you!"

  "Haha, love me, past, forgive? That photo was clearly taken at your place last night, you dare to say it's the past, what a shameless, what a despicable person, probably still a good liar."

  Butterfly's heart is dead, and the man named Lin Xuehuai in her heart will also die with it. From now on, there will be no more appearance of Lin Xuehuai in her world.

  Here is the translation:

  "Standing in front of the microphone, Hu Die looked around at the crowd, gritted her teeth and announced: "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry to say that this engagement ceremony will not be held after all. My heart has died, and from now on, there will no longer be a Lin Xuehuai in my life. I am a woman, and the weight of emotions is too much for me to bear. I hope you can forgive me!"

  In the end, tears fell silently, sobbing quietly...

  "No, no, Hu Die, you can't be so cruel. This must be someone framing me. Please forgive my foolishness."

  Lin Xuehuai still refused to give up, shouting loudly and throwing himself in front of Hu Die, hugging her legs with a remorseful expression.

  "Xue Hua, it's impossible now. You don't have to put on a show in front of me anymore. I know your acting skills are great, but honestly, I can't take it. Acting as someone else for a lifetime and finally being acted upon by an actor myself - this feeling is really, really painful. Please release your grasp. Those words, that love, I, Hu Die, cannot bear. Our fate has ended today, our grudges have been resolved, from now on we will not have any more entanglements. You walk your own lonely bridge, I'll walk my own sunny path, and we won't recognize each other again. Perhaps you should have thought of the consequences of everything you've done earlier. You didn't care because you never cared about me in the first place."

  At this time, Hu Die's face was somewhat pale, her thin body was haggard, and her entire soul seemed to be absent. She had used up all her strength to say these words.

  Lin Xuehuai shook off her own legs and walked out of the dance floor without looking back!

  The people below were stunned, and the engagement ceremony that was going so well had taken such a dramatic turn. Even these seasoned old men were now covered in sweat and looked astonished.

  People who didn't understand the situation started asking around their friends, and the truth of the matter was instantly spread, and the noise gradually rose, mostly sympathizing with Hu Die and condemning Lin Xuehuai's despicable behavior.

  "Beast, indeed a beast! Damn it, I knew this guy wasn't any good. Never thought he'd be such a promiscuous and unscrupulous rogue. No wonder Hu Die was so devoted to him!"

  "Who would have thought, this guy looks so refined and cultured on the surface, yet he's secretly doing such unscrupulous things. Can't be deceived by appearances after all. Now that I think about it, that little kid from earlier looked more pleasant, at least he looked ordinary and had a frank expression, not like some kind of reckless and unbridled guy."

  "It seems that this guy is finished, the popularity he had accumulated with great difficulty, there's probably no place for him in the film industry anymore, and even Shanghai can't provide a way for him to eke out a living, sigh!"

  Some people started worrying about Lin Xue's acting career, while others took a wait-and-see attitude, and even more were coldly ridiculing her with disdain...

  Engagement, hum, a farce? I'm afraid it's a tragedy!

  This is the most genuine thought in the hearts of the majority of people present.

  As the mastermind of the whole incident, Du Haisheng had lost all feeling by now. He couldn't just let Hu Die walk away like that.

  Once something unexpected happens, it seriously violates his original intention of doing all this. At this moment, he must pull her and comfort her a bit.

  "Go..."

  Du Haisheng ordered, holding his waist and embracing two women.

  The two women were both astonished and asked in unison: "Where are you going?"

  "Chase after Hu Die, can't let her be so depressed, afraid it will be life-threatening!"

  "Hey, you're quite worried about her, aren't you? Have a crush on her? Hmph, go yourself if you want to, I and Pei Hong won't help you chase after romantic luck!"

  Zhao Wei pursed her lips, looking as if she could see right through Du Haisheng's tricks, and replied in a huff.

  "No one forced you, if you don't go I'll go myself. But let me remind you two, since Lin Tianxu and Wang Jiatang have set their sights on us, they definitely won't have any good intentions, be careful!"

  As he spoke, Du Haisheng didn't turn his head back and quickly chased after Hu Die in the distance...
