Chapter 386 Divorce is Original Sin
"Roses?"
Chen Xuan frowned, his gaze shifting to Guo Yulong.
Their eyes met. Guo Yulong’s gaze towards Chen Xuan was no longer as angry, but carried a hint of provocation.
"Yes! I heard it was nine hundred and ninety-nine flowers!"
"Quite a generous display."
Chen Xuan smiled easily.
"Hey, hey, you’d better take it seriously, or someone will snatch your girl away."
Yang Zhenzhen, displeased with Chen Xuan’s attitude, said nervously.
"Alright, alright, I get it!"
"What are you two chatting about so happily?"
"Hahaha, nothing, nothing."
After speaking, Yang Zhenzhen lowered her head, sipping her cola.
Su Yunxi glanced at Chen Xuan, "What's wrong?"
Chen Xuan blinked and smiled, "You'll know later, it's quite interesting."
Su Yunxi eyed Chen Xuan suspiciously, her curiosity piqued. If it weren't for the crowd, she would have tugged Chen Xuan's ear.
A moment later, Zhen Xiaoqiong walked over, saying she had something to discuss with Su Yunxi and pulled her outside for an unknown purpose.
Yang Zhenzhen seemed to have drunk too much cola and needed to go to the restroom shortly after.
Chen Xuan took a bite of a soft pastry. Before he could swallow, Yang Zhenzhen rushed back, "Brother-in-law, why are you still sitting here? You're about to be cuckolded!!"
Chen Xuan glared, almost choking, "What's going on? What cuckolded! Speak properly!"
"Hurry and come see!"
Yang Zhenzhen grabbed Chen Xuan's hand without further ado and dragged him towards the backyard.
When Chen Xuan followed Yang Zhenzhen to the backyard, a majority of Su family relatives had already gathered there. They formed a circle, with Su Yunxi pushed to the front by Zhen Xiaoqiong. In front of Su Yunxi stood a massive rose car.
The rose car was entirely made of red roses, with the English abbreviation "I Love You" spelled out in pink roses in the center.
Guo Yulong stood before the flower car, appearing extremely nervous and uneasy, his expression stiff. His eyes were fixed on Su Yunxi, radiating deep affection.
Su Yunxi, observing this scene, had a face full of frost.
Guo Yulong took a deep breath, knelt on one knee, and said emotionally:
"Yunxi, ever since I saw you at a banquet, I've fallen for you uncontrollably!"
"To be worthy of you one day, I've been working hard. Now that I've become the Vice President of Hongqi Bank, I feel I have the qualifications to love you!"
"But I never expected you to choose a used man. He's just a small security guard, and I don't think he's worthy of you. I know this isn't your choice! It's due to family reasons!"
"You've returned from Jiangzhou, and I can't miss this last chance to give you my love!"
"Yunxi, I hope you can accept me!"
With that, Guo Yulong produced a gift box and presented an egg-sized diamond ring to Su Yunxi.
Although Guo Yulong appeared nervous, his speech was exceptionally fluent.
Clearly, this proposal had been meticulously planned, and this speech not only belittled Chen Xuan to nothing but also elevated his status as Vice President of Hongqi Bank, achieving a win-win situation.
"Wow, the Vice President of Hongqi Bank!"
"Hongqi Bank is known as the God of Wealth for the wealthy in the provincial capital!"
A relative of the Su family cheered and applauded. Many women covered their mouths, their faces filled with envy, wishing they were the protagonist.
"Be together! Be together!"
"Be together! Be together!"
The crowd then began to chant in unison, leaving Su Yunxi with no room to retreat.
Guo Yulong, sensing the atmosphere, wore an expression of assured victory over Su Yunxi. He glanced at Chen Xuan, giving him a smug and provocative look.
However, Su Yunxi remained silent.
"Brother-in-law, you should go over there quickly! What woman could stand this?" Yang Zhenzhen anxiously tugged at Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan, with a cigarette in his mouth, wasn't in a hurry and exuded confidence, "Zhenzhen, you have to believe your sister."
Yang Zhenzhen stomped her foot angrily, glared at Chen Xuan, and grumbled, "This guy is too timid!"
She believed in Su Yunxi, but she didn't believe in Chen Xuan. A Vice President of Hongqi Group versus a divorced minor security guard – there was no comparison.
"You deserve to be single if you can't find a wife!"
Guo Yulong repeated himself, "Yunxi, I hope you will marry me!"
"Marry him!"
"Marry him!"
...
"Are you done making a scene? If you're done, then quickly leave the Su family. The Su family does not welcome you."
Su Yunxi spoke coldly, her expression devoid of emotion.
The atmosphere instantly turned cold!
Everyone was stunned, having clearly not expected Su Yunxi to reject Guo Yulong so decisively.
Guo Yulong's face also turned grim. He hadn't expected Su Yunxi to be so resolute, seeing no trace of hesitation on her face.
Yang Zhenzhen was also dumbfounded. She glanced at Chen Xuan, her eyes rolling as she thought about something.
Someone nearby, considering themselves astute, stepped forward to persuade, "Young Master Guo, that was too abrupt. Don't scare Yunxi. After all, you're not very familiar with each other yet. How can you talk about marriage? One must eat step by step, and walk one step at a time."
Upon hearing this, Guo Yulong slapped his forehead and immediately put on an apologetic expression, "Yunxi, I know I was too hasty. We can try to be friends first."
"No need!"
Su Yunxi said coldly.
Guo Yulong was becoming agitated. In his haste, he suddenly stood up and tightly grabbed Su Yunxi's shoulders, clearly causing her pain. Su Yunxi's face contorted in a pained expression.
At this moment!
Chen Xuan walked over, "Let go of your hands."
Guo Yulong looked down on Chen Xuan and deliberately said, "I won't!"
He had already lost enough face, and he didn't want to lose any more now.
Chen Xuan reached out and gripped Guo Yulong's hand. Guo Yulong cried out in pain as if his hand were caught in a vice, and instinctively let go. However, his gaze towards Chen Xuan was filled with malice.
"Young Master Guo, are you alright!"
"Chen Xuan, how can you treat Young Master Guo like this? So rude! Country bumpkin!"
Many women rushed to comfort Guo Yulong and scold Chen Xuan for his impoliteness.
Chen Xuan sneered. How dare this guy try to steal his girl right in front of his fiancée? Not killing him was already giving them face, and they called him rude?
Guo Yulong felt humiliated. Rubbing his throbbing wrist, he fumed, "Kid, you dare to touch me..."
"Alright, that's enough. Young Master Guo, if you have nothing else, please leave quickly," Su Yunxi also issued the eviction notice.
This made Young Master Guo’s face turn ugly. He had prepared such a grand scene, and even the Su family relatives were cooperating so well, yet Su Yunxi still didn't give him any face.
Could it be that he was truly inferior to Chen Xuan, this divorced minor security guard?
The Su family relatives were also unhappy. One of them pulled Su Yunxi's hand, "Yunxi, this is modern society now. Arranged marriages are out. Although your father wants you to marry that loser, your aunt will stand up for you now. You have the right to choose!"
"That's right! Young Master Guo is good! He's much better than that loser!"
A group of relatives swarmed around Su Yunxi, chattering incessantly, calling Chen Xuan a "loser" and "divorced" with every other word.
It seemed that Chen Xuan's divorce was an indelible stain on him.
But was it Chen Xuan's fault for being divorced? Chen Xuan was also a victim.
Besides, who could guarantee that a divorced man would certainly be an incompetent loser, and not a dragon about to soar?
