Chapter 677: Why did President Zhan marry Su Mengyu?
Gu Xunjing previously said that Zhan Yanxun and Su Mengyu conspired to frame him.
Zhan Yanxun is indeed a suspect.
"Brother, do you also think that Zhan Yanxun orchestrated all of this?"
“You and Gu Xunjing were about to get married, and then this happened. The wedding is off, and that's exactly what Zhan Yanxun wanted. Gu Xunjing is right, Zhan Yanxun is the most likely person to have orchestrated this, but I don't think Zhan Yanxun would do something like this. He doesn't seem like such a despicable person.”
Even though Gu Xunjing said that everything was designed by Zhan Yanxun, and even though Zhan Yanxun was the biggest beneficiary of this incident, Jiang Che still instinctively felt that Zhan Yanxun would never do such a thing.
He felt that Zhan Yanxun was upright and honest.
"I understand, brother. Please help me find out the rest."
"Okay, I'll go check it out now."
Zhan Yanxun was investigating this matter, and he was even faster than them. He got the video before her brother did.
Does that mean he knows more about the truth of this matter than they do? So if they want to know the truth, can they just ask Zhan Yanxun directly?
……
Zhan Yanxun did not expect that Jiang Qianhui would come to find him.
"I really didn't expect you to take the initiative to come looking for me?"
"What exactly happened between Gu Xunjing and Su Mengyu that night?"
"Actually, you don't need to worry about what happened. After all, no matter what, Gu Xunjing has always chosen you. I think he would never betray you under any circumstances."
"So you're telling me that Gu Xunjing didn't betray me that night?"
"You're asking me because you think I'm the instigator? You think I orchestrated everything?"
Zhan Yanxun looked at Jiang Qianhui. At this moment, he no longer expected Jiang Qianhui to choose him and be with him. He only hoped that Jiang Qianhui would not look at him with such disgust and that she would not think he was so despicable.
"I just want to know what exactly happened that night. And you've been investigating this too, and you've acted faster than any of us. You've already obtained the video of Su Mengyu being drugged in the bar, haven't you?"
Zhan Yanxun was the first to find the video, and he knew that anyone who wanted to investigate this matter would eventually find the video as well.
"Yes, Su Mengyu is innocent. She didn't scheme against you and Gu Xunjing. She genuinely considered you a good friend. Even though she liked Gu Xunjing, she was willing to let go. How could she do such a dirty and despicable thing?"
Zhan Yanxun was right. Su Mengyu was indeed capable of taking things in stride and would never do such a thing. However, upon hearing Zhan Yanxun praise Su Mengyu, Jiang Qianhui felt a vague unease in her heart, like ants gnawing at her.
"Does President Zhan admire Su Mengyu because Su Mengyu is also a very outstanding person?"
In his previous life, he was Qiao Weiwei; in this life, he is Su Mengyu. He admires quite a few outstanding people.
"I really want to think you're jealous, but why would you be jealous of me right now?"
"Enough with the nonsense, what exactly happened that night? Was it related to Su Mengyu's suicide?"
Upon hearing Jiang Qianhui say this, Zhan Yanxun visibly became serious. He said, "If all of you think that I planned this, then let's say I did."
"It's all in the past now. Just focus on being with Gu Xunjing and don't dwell on it anymore."
Jiang Qianhui looked at Zhan Yanxun and visibly became serious, which showed that this matter was indeed not simple.
"President Zhan, are you trying to stop me from investigating? Did you really do this?"
"Yes, it was me. I wanted to ruin your wedding with Gu Xunjing. I thought I would have a chance, but in the end I didn't."
"Zhan Yanxun, tell me the truth, was it really you?"
Jiang Qianhui was also angry. She felt that Zhan Yanxun was playing her for a fool.
"Jiang Qianhui, do you know why I'm willing to let go?"
Jiang Qianhui looked at Zhan Yanxun, whose brows were furrowed. He looked at Jiang Qianhui with deep affection and said, "I didn't expect it to really exist. That damned past life."
Upon hearing Zhan Yanxun's words, Jiang Qianhui's heart skipped a beat.
How could he know about a past life?
“I saw some blurry clips before. I saw that I bought your Jiang family’s house and kicked you and your daughter out.”
I saw myself shoot you, and I don't want to believe it. That was supposed to be a past life.
But now I'm certain. No wonder you hate me so much, no wonder you won't forgive me no matter what I do—it turns out you are inherently unforgivable.
Jiang Qianhui listened in silence, while Zhan Yanxun said with burning passion and guilt, "In my previous life, I actually caused you to suffer so much for another woman, and even caused the Jiang family to be destroyed. I deserve to die!"
Listening to Zhan Yanxun recount what happened last time, Jiang Qianhui still couldn't control herself and trembled all over.
That terrible past life, that life in which her family was destroyed, is a nightmare she can never escape.
"Stop talking!"
Seeing Jiang Qianhui's hateful and angry expression, Zhan Yanxun was heartbroken, knowing that no matter what he did, it would be useless!
"Actually, I'm really unwilling to accept this. I often think, what does that damned past life have to do with me? If it wasn't me, why would I treat you like that?"
But when I clearly saw what I did to you in my past life, I felt I deserved to die. I really wanted to give you my life back.
Zhan Yanxun sincerely apologized, and his eyes no longer looked innocent, but rather showed genuine remorse.
"Jiang Qianhui, I deserve to die. I don't deserve your forgiveness. I just want you to be happy."
Gu Xunjing said that you were not a choice he made after weighing the pros and cons, but someone he wanted to protect without hesitation.
I was resentful of that damned past life, of hurting you so much, and in this life I still hold a grudge, feeling that I was only using Qiao Weiwei, that I only wanted to help the Black Riders. But Gu Xunjing made me realize that I also weighed the pros and cons when it came to you; I don't deserve to love you. I only want you to be happy.
No one knows how much determination Zhan Yanxun had to make before letting go, but he knew he truly loved him to the core.
He thought that a sincere apology would earn Jiang Qianhui's forgiveness, but instead he was met with merciless ridicule.
"President Zhan is really fickle. He was so eager to get back together with me before. Now that he knows it's impossible for us to get back together, he's moved on to someone else."
So you've set your sights on Su Mengyu? Now that you've lost your position as president of the Zhan Group, and Su Mengyu is the eldest daughter of the Su family, and since the Su family can't find their previous children, Su Mengyu is the sole heir. President Zhan weighs the pros and cons before deciding on anyone.
She didn't care how Zhan Yanxun knew about what happened in her previous life, nor did she want to know the details. She didn't care anymore and didn't want to ask.
She used to desperately want to get revenge on him, but now she feels she doesn't want to anymore. Perhaps this is because she has truly let go and found peace?
Zhan Yanxun once thought that his heart had been made immune to all poisons by Jiang Qianhui, and that he would not feel pain no matter what she said. But he found that she could make him feel pain so easily.
