I'm Very Happy After Marrying the CEO Husband According to the Agreement-Chapter 110: Who told you to Set Me Up
Chapter 110
YOYO was startled.
She had also heard of Shen Tang's previous reputation for being very strong. YOYO was so skinny herself that she was not even as strong as Shen Tang's two fists.
However, she glanced around. There were so many people here that she did not believe Shen Tang would actually do that.
Shen Tang could not possibly disregard her reputation entirely.
But she really did disregard it!
YOYO did not dodge, so Shen Tang grabbed her collar and walked towards the swimming pool.
YOYO was so frightened she was dumbstruck. "What are you doing? Let me go!"
Zhou Qinglian also tried to pull them back, but the two women's strength compared to Shen Tang's was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. They were still uncontrollably getting closer and closer to the pool.
This move really frightened many people.
"Stop her quickly!"
"This... isn't necessary..."
"President Gu, are you just going to watch this happen to your wife?"
Perhaps not expecting Gu Huaian to say such words, the others did not know whether they should step forward to stop it or not.
If they got involved, and he resented them, what would happen?
They had come here to meet business partners, not to make enemies.
So for a moment, no one stepped forward to help.
Zhou Qinglian was furious inside, hating the indifference of the people around her, and afraid that she would be implicated as well.
If Shen Tang took the opportunity to push her in too, it would be so embarrassing.
YOYO was also scared to death, clinging tightly to Zhou Qinglian and Shen Tang's arms and not letting go.
At the edge of the pool, YOYO trembled uncontrollably. "I was wrong, I really was wrong. I shouldn't have falsely accused you. Don't throw me in..."
She really could not swim. She had not been faking when she nearly drowned before. She had truly almost drowned.
But she had not been too afraid earlier since people had been arranged nearby just in case.
However, the sensation of nearly drowning had still left her with some psychological trauma. She was genuinely very afraid of being tossed in by Shen Tang.
Now no one was helping, so she worried that if she was thrown in this time, no one would come to save her and she might really drown!
She was truly frightened now.
The people around had not expected this to be the truth. They had assumed Shen Tang pushed the girl in.
Cen Songbai gave a cold snort. "See? I said she fell in herself."
"Tsk!"
Perhaps because YOYO had been holding on too tightly, Zhou Qinglian cried out in pain on reflex and pushed her a little. YOYO almost fell in, but was grabbed by one of Shen Tang's arms and pulled back up.
That's right, just one arm.
"Wow!"
The people around were shocked.
"She's so strong!"
"Or is it that the girl is too skinny..."
"I think so too, I could also do that."
Seeing the skinny physique of the speaker, Cen Songbai rolled his eyes. As if you could!
Zhou Qinglian apologized with reddened eyes, "I'm sorry, YOYO. I didn't mean it. You were holding too tight just now..."
As she spoke, she deliberately revealed the red marks on her arm.
YOYO had been a little angry earlier, but seeing Zhou Qinglian like this, her anger dissipated.
"It's nothing, Sister Lian. I'm not blaming you."
"I'm saying..."
Shen Tang interrupted the two people's dramatics. "Did you forget something?"
"Either confess properly, or I'll take the villain's name."
Now that she had already revealed this much, YOYO no longer concealed anything. She closed her eyes and shouted loudly, "That's right, it was me. No one instructed me. I deliberately framed you and jumped in myself. I'm sorry, alright?"
"Who told you to frame me?"
"No, no one. I just don't like you. What right does an infamous zero-ranked celebrity like you have to attend the same banquet as us?"
Hearing these words, Gu Huaian's expression suddenly darkened, as if brewing a storm.
To be honest, Shen Tang was not actually that angry. But hearing her say this, she did not believe it.
"I don't even know you. Just because you don't like me you deliberately jumped into the water to frame me? Could your reason be any more far-fetched?"
YOYO glanced at Zhou Qinglian, but said nothing.
"That's right, it was just me. No one instructed me."
Some peacemakers felt Shen Tang's interrogation-like behavior was going too far. One of them stepped forward and said, "Everyone, give me some face on this matter and just let it go. Miss Shen was not harmed in the end, and this young lady has suffered the consequences of her own actions."
Shen Tang wanted to say: Who are you?
"I think that's reasonable."
"Yes, just leave it at that. One should be gracious when possible."
Gu Huaian raised his eyebrows. "Oh? Is that what you all think?"
The area fell silent again.
After all, none of them had as much standing as Gu Huaian here.
Many were even surprised that he had condescended to attend this banquet at all.
While the Zhou family was once comparable to the Gu family, now one had risen high and the other declined far.
Zhou Qinglian pressed her lips together, her eyes pleading, "President Gu, could you give me some face on this and let YOYO go change her clothes first? It's so cold out, she'll catch a fever."
Gu Huaian looked at Shen Tang, who nodded. Only then did he relent, "Go on then."
YOYO made her escape as if she had been granted amnesty, hurriedly wrapping her clothes around her as she ran off.
She had lost all face today. She would not be able to show herself in public after this.
Zhou Qinglian took one more look at them before following after YOYO.
The people around gradually dispersed as well. They did want to keep watching the lively scene, but not with Gu Huaian here. This was not a show they could watch.
In fact, Shen Tang had not truly intended to push her in.
Of course, if YOYO kept clinging and refusing to let go, who knew what would have happened.
About Cen Songbai's earlier words, Shen Tang asked in a low voice, "Did you really get it on video?"
"I got it, but it wasn't clear."
Cen Songbai sighed. Otherwise he would have presented it already.
It was fortunate his sister-in-law was quite capable. If it were someone else, they might have had to swallow this injustice.
Gu Yun'an timidly walked up to Shen Tang and bowed deeply to her, saying softly, "I'm sorry."
Gu Huaian's face was cold as he scolded, "Louder! Haven't eaten?"
"I'm sorry!"
As soon as Gu Yun'an said this, tears streamed down her face. No one knew if it was from fear, distress, or something else.
This was Shen Tang's first time seeing Gu Huaian act so fierce.
She wanted to take out a tissue, but realized the dress she was wearing had no pockets.
Cen Songbai quickly took out a handkerchief and handed it to Gu Yun'an. "Use this if you don't mind."
Gu Yun'an accepted the handkerchief and wiped her tears.
Shen Tang then spoke, "Why are you apologizing?"
"I...I knew their plans but didn't tell you..."
"I'm sorry. I didn't know what to do. Sister Lian had tried to commit suicide and been hospitalized because of me before. I was afraid she would try again, so I...I agreed to help her trap you to make my brother happy..."
As Gu Yun'an spoke, she broke down bawling.
She knew she had done wrong, but also felt wronged because she had not actually done anything. Yet her brother still scolded her.
The reason Gu Huaian had come over so late was because he had been berating Gu Yun'an.
He was not a good-tempered man. Though he did not curse, his words were unbearable.
Gu Yun'an cried inconsolably. Shen Tang sighed and walked over to put her arm around her, gently comforting, "Don't cry. I'm not blaming you."
If she had truly wanted to do something, Zhou Qinglian would not have come down personally just now.
Sometimes, having no one to offer comfort was better. Having someone comfort you made it harder to control your emotions.
Thinking that she was like this yet Shen Tang did not blame her, Gu Yun'an felt even more guilty and could not stop her tears.
With a plop, a snot bubble emerged.
She froze for a moment, noticing the barely suppressed smiles on the three faces before her. Gu Yun'an cried even louder.
She had truly embarrassed herself tremendously!
