Pampered By All In Different Planes-Chapter 217: After Kicking Out the Scumbag, the Aloof Buddhist Devotee Dotes on His Wife 17
In the moment their gazes met, even Su Zhiruan was somewhat astonished, let alone Jiang Beiyu and Bai Yueyou at this time.
"You... how could you be here?" Jiang Beiyu immediately surged out of the crowd, walking towards Su Zhiruan, his expression shocked and frantic, but even more so, filled with the guilt of being exposed and urgency, "Who is he?"
By now, the guests had long stopped caring about their fun, everyone was whispering and the sound of talking and singing had greatly diminished, even the DJ on the stage turned the volume down.
Seeing Jiang Beiyu’s eyes full of panic upon seeing Su Zhiruan, even forgetting her, Bai Yueyou was filled with hate that made her teeth itch; she crept over silently, standing behind Jiang Beiyu pretending to look timid.
"Miss Su, everything is my fault, I hope you won’t blame Brother Beiyu," Bai Yueyou said, as she started to wipe her tears, stroking her belly, her voice softening, garnering the sympathy of the clueless men around as well as Jiang Beiyu, "I just wanted to interview Brother Beiyu initially, you’ve already had me blacklisted, and I won’t appear before you again... Now I’m all alone, with only the unborn child for company, even without a job..."
Her speech was ambiguous, tears rolling down from the corner of her eyes, irresistibly pitiable. Jiang Beiyu’s heart was nearly breaking, wishing he could immediately hold her, but Su Zhiruan was also present; to get the Su Family’s fortune, he had to endure, clenching his fist tightly, looking at Su Zhiruan, "Ruanruan, that’s enough, you’re the lady of the house, be magnanimous."
After hearing his words, Bai Yueyou’s lips curved into a fleeting smile of victory, then disappeared just as quickly.
This Su Zhiruan, undeservedly taking such a loss, and upon discovering her fiancé with another woman, would surely confront Jiang Beiyu in anger. A man’s public image is precious; if he was to lose face, there would certainly be a rift in their relationship, and then, she would be the definite winner!
She was certain of everything, but she overlooked the most crucial point—Su Zhiruan was no longer the love-struck girl she used to be, in fact, it was for the sake of revenge that she didn’t break off the engagement!
At that moment, the place fell silent, with everyone standing in the dark, occasionally with flickering lights passing over faces, the heavy metal music in the background was now much quieter, everyone was there for the spectacle.

And there stood Su Zhiruan and Zhou Mingyu at the entrance, bright lights shining upon them, followed by a secretary who was covered in sweat.
"Having listened to so much gossip online, this time you get to see the live action," Su Zhiruan said in a voice only the two of them could hear, her tone light and smiling, and added, "How about it, Mr. Zhou? You might also be considered part of the gossip now."
"It’s apparent, if I’m not mistaken, in this scenario, I’m probably the adulterer," Zhou Mingyu replied indifferently, his broad shoulders and narrow waist drawing the attention of many, he leaned down to readjust his glasses, toning down his charisma, his handsome features stood out among the crowd of onlookers, who cast curious glances at them, mainly at him. Zhou Mingyu gestured invitingly, a small but graceful movement that showcased his upbringing, "They seem to be trying to slander you, Miss Su, what happens next is up to you."
Su Zhiruan didn’t respond, she simply walked into the bar, under everyone’s watchful eyes, somehow a beam of light came down upon her face.
However, her expression wasn’t that of refutation or anger; she wasn’t upset, just quietly tearful, her eyes filled with sorrow and lifelessness.
Everyone held their breath in unison; the scene was simply too beautiful!
Dressed in a white dress, she was beautiful with flawless skin, but at this moment, her eyes slightly reddened, her gaze serene and ethereal, tears silently fell, splashing small round dots upon the ground.
Su Zhiruan didn’t look at Bai Yueyou, but looked straight at Jiang Beiyu, "So, in your heart, I am such a person."
Jiang Beiyu’s heart quailed under the stunning beauty of her eyes and the soul-piercing gaze, causing him to take a step back involuntarily.
Initially, he felt that Su Zhiruan was in the wrong after hearing Bai Yueyou’s words, and now she even showed up at this place with another man.
He utterly forgot that he had also brought Bai Yueyou here, consumed only by the fury of being cuckolded.
"Who is that man?! Why are you both here?" Jiang Beiyu directed his finger at Zhou Mingyu, asking with a face full of interrogation.
Behind him, a man played with a wine bottle with a look of disdain on his face, his eyes full of contempt for Jiang Beiyu, his tone careless but revealing impatience, "Look, buddy, enough is enough. I don’t know what your relationship is, but as a man, I despise you. You bring a woman with a big belly to a bar in the dead of night, and without hearing a word from the other party, you start throwing accusations. Isn’t that going too far?"
"I—"
Su Zhiruan felt she shouldn’t waste the acting skills she had just mustered, so she seized the opportunity to continue her grievance, "We have only just gotten engaged, and you rushed out in the evening with your phone, hastily making excuses to go fetch something, only to bring this lady here. As for Mr. Zhou and I, we simply have a coincidental business relationship. Yet you, as my fiancé, immediately jumped to the conclusion that we are having an affair. Jiang Beiyu, what do you want me to say?"
She cried pitifully, her words coherent and her reasoning clear, making right and wrong obvious to anyone.
The people present were no fools, all wealthy and influential individuals that could afford to spend time at Jinghua No.1, seasoned in the ways of the world for many years, and well-versed in these types of situations.
Bai Yueyou bit her lip and timidly stepped forward, "Miss Su, that statement of yours is a bit one-sided, isn’t it? Brother Beiyu is not like that. Don’t you trust your fiancé?"
She intended for the crowd to think that Su Zhiruan was distorting the truth, but Su Zhiruan shut her down with a single sentence.
"Miss Bai, whose child is in your womb?"
In an instant, Bai Yueyou and Jiang Beiyu both felt as if their blood was running backward.
She knows!
Su Zhiruan actually knows!
Without giving them any time to recover, Su Zhiruan dabbed at her tears, her voice choked with emotion, "Brother Beiyu, I trusted you so much! I liked you so much! For you, I went against my parents’ wishes and let you enter the Su Family’s company directly, getting a much higher position than the regular staff on your first day. But when your work performance fell short, I had my father transfer you back to headquarters to stay by my side, so that you could take over the company in the future, while I would stay at home as your supportive wife. But you’ve bitterly disappointed me..."
