Chapter 219 The Ruthless Patriarch 28 (1/2)

"Yes, Miss Lin is pregnant with someone else's child. She also found out that Fu Moyan allowed Miss Jin to attend their engagement party, so she wanted to use someone else to do her dirty work."

"It can make Fu Moyan feel guilty, and it can also get rid of the women around Fu Moyan."

Pei Mozhi repeated what he had heard to Zixi.

Zi Xi closed her eyes, so this was all Lin Wei's own doing.

No wonder Lin Wei became the biggest obstacle for the male and female leads in the story.

However, the world of the wealthy is still too chaotic.

At this moment, the Fu family's butler and several female guests stepped forward to help Jin Yue up.

Jin Yue raised her head with teary eyes, her gaze searching through the crowd, finally settling on Pei Mozhi with endless grievances.

Her eyes seemed to say that Pei Mozhi was her only salvation.

Zi Xi also saw that look. She raised an eyebrow at Pei Mozhi and silently mouthed, "Looking for you."

Pei Mozhi's lips curled into a cold smile. He elegantly adjusted his cuffs, and then, in full view of everyone, stood still and put his arm around Zi Xi's waist.

The glimmer of hope that briefly ignited in Jin Yue's eyes vanished only to be reignited just as quickly.

Pei Mozhi is looking at her!

She knew it; he simply couldn't bear to see her suffer such humiliation!

Fu Moyan went from being completely indifferent to her to being utterly infatuated with her, so it's impossible for Pei Mozhi to be completely unmoved by her!

All eyes were on Pei Mozhi, eager to see how he would play the hero and save the damsel in distress.

Zi Xi was filled with anticipation. What was Pei Mozhi doing? Didn't he hear that someone was looking for him?

"Miss Jin, your acting skills are passable, but unfortunately, there are still people who are a cut above you."

Pei Mozhi paused, his gaze sweeping over Jin Yue's instantly stiff face, devoid of any warmth.

"Your entanglement with Fu Moyan, who is engaged to you, is already disgraceful. You didn't even know how to keep it a secret. Now that it's turned out like this, it seems that someone thinks the waters aren't murky enough and wants to create more trouble for you."

His words were calm and even, yet each syllable resounded like thunder.

All the carefully maintained expressions on Jin Yue's face instantly froze into a deathly white mask.

Her pupils suddenly contracted, and she stared at Pei Mozhi in disbelief. The last bit of color drained from her face, leaving only a deathly pale ashes.

How could he say such awful things?!

How dare he be so ruthless?!

After a brief silence, an uncontrollable chorus of exclamations and a tidal wave of discussion erupted instantly!

"My God! This is confirmed!"

"Knowing it was a third party, yet acting like a third party? Or were you deceived by the young master of the Fu family?"

"Patriarch Pei's words... contain a lot of information! 'An unexpected complication'? Could it be that Jin Yue was set up?"

Several key members of the Fu family hurriedly pushed through the crowd and arrived just in time to hear the latter half of Pei Mozhi's scathing remarks.

Fu Moyan's father's face instantly turned ashen, as if his fig leaf had been ripped off in public.

The few remaining elders of the Lin family followed closely behind, their faces even more grim, their eyes filled with overwhelming rage at being fooled by the Fu family.

"Patriarch Pei!"

"Please watch your words! This matter concerns the reputation of both the Fu and Lin families, and you cannot allow yourself to make unfounded speculations!"

Unable to maintain his composure any longer, Fu's father shouted angrily, trying to quell the out-of-control situation with his voice.

"Well, then you should continue to maintain your reputation."

Pei Mozhi shrugged, and led Zi Xi through the hall towards the exit under the scrutiny of countless gazes.

This grand engagement banquet turned into a complete farce between the Fu and Lin families.

Pei Mozhi not only let Zi Xi get to eat the best gossip in person, but also casually blew up the gossip field.
