The public apology meeting was held in the banquet hall on the second floor of this hotel. Thanks to Yu Jingcheng's proper arrangements, the whole process went smoothly.

Qiao Guosheng sincerely apologized for his inappropriate behavior and told everyone that the relevant situation had been reported to the police and he was waiting for the police to clear his name.

Tan Shuhong also expressed her belief in her husband's character and that he would never betray their marriage. This incident was a frame-up by someone with ulterior motives and the child was completely fictitious.

"The child is Qiao Guosheng's, I have a paternity test to prove it!"

Just as public opinion was about to turn to Qiao Guosheng, a high-pitched female voice was heard from the entrance.

Qiao Shinian's heart skipped a beat. She turned around and saw that the person coming was Wu Mengxue.

Wu Mengxue was wearing a loose maternity dress and holding an appraisal report in her hand. She walked over with a slightly unsteady step.

"Qiao Guosheng, you repeatedly showed me your affection, gave me gifts and invited me to dinner, and only then did I let down my guard and become friends with you! But you took me to a hotel while I was drunk and raped me!"

When Wu Mengxue said this, everyone was shocked.

The media reporters smelled the scent of melodrama and gossip, and they immediately asked Qiao Guosheng a series of sharp questions.

"She's talking nonsense. I didn't seduce her!" Qiao Guosheng was so angry that he was shaking. "I didn't show any interest in her either!"

Wu Mengxue was not in a hurry. She produced a series of evidence of their eating and drinking, and of Qiao Guosheng giving her gifts, including photos, videos, and surveillance footage of them entering the hotel.

"Qiao Guosheng, I didn't want to break up with you, but since you're throwing dirty water on me and ruining my reputation, I have no choice but to tell everyone the truth!"

Wu Mengxue has a rather gentle appearance and no makeup on her face. Coupled with her aggrieved expression, she looks like a victim.

However, Qiao Guosheng had gained weight in his middle age and was not so handsome. Almost no one would believe that Wu Mengxue had seduced and framed him deliberately.

Some curious people turned the camera to Qin Shuhong, wanting to see her expression when she was slapped in the face.

Tan Shuhong couldn't utter a word, nor could she maintain her previous calmness and composure.

Her focus was entirely on the paternity test.

She couldn't believe that Wu Mengxue was actually pregnant with Qiao Guosheng's child!

Tan Shuhong felt the anger and jealousy burning in her heart. If there weren't so many people present, she would have slapped Wu Mengxue a few times!

Qiao Shinian naturally saw her aunt's anger. She quickly glanced at Qiao Leyan, who reacted and quickly rushed towards her mother.

The scene had already begun to become chaotic, and Yu Jingcheng quickly asked the staff to maintain order. He arranged for someone to take Wu Mengxue to the lounge at the back, and Qiao Shinian also went on stage to ask his uncle to leave.

The staff of the Public Relations Department dealt with the media and said that they would give the public an explanation once the police results came out.

In the lounge, Qin Shuhong was beating Qiao Guosheng hard, saying that he had no conscience and dared to do something to let her down, and suspected that he had bad intentions.

Qiao Guosheng was angry and annoyed. He wanted to fight back but felt guilty, so he had to keep dodging.

Wu Mengxue was still next door, and it was not a good idea for her aunt to continue making a fuss like this, so Qiao Shinian and Qiao Leyan persuaded her aunt to go home first.

After finally sending his aunt to the car, Qiao Shinian returned to the hotel lounge.

My uncle has arrived at Wu Mengxue's place, and Yu Jingcheng is also there.

Wu Mengxue looked at Qiao Guosheng with tears in her eyes and said softly, "Mr. Qiao, if you think this paternity test is unreliable, I can accompany you to the hospital again and you can supervise it yourself and do it again."

Qiao Shinian's heart sank suddenly when he heard this. How dare Wu Mengxue say that? Doesn't that mean the child is really his uncle's?

This makes things even more difficult.

Qiao Guosheng was furious. "You are so scheming, aren't you just after money? How much money can satisfy you and your ex-husband's appetite? Just tell me!"

Wu Mengxue still had a pitiful look on her face. "Boss Qiao, the child thing was really an accident. I said I just wanted to give birth to it and raise it myself. If you didn't force me like this, I wouldn't tell the truth to everyone."

"You didn't deliberately approach Uncle Qiao, so how could you leave those evidences in advance?" Yu Jingcheng said.

Qiao Shinian felt that Yu Jingcheng hit the nail on the head. The evidence presented by Wu Mengxue could not be prepared in a day or two.

All signs indicate that Wu Mengxue's approach was deliberate.

Wu Mengxue ignored Yu Jingcheng and gently persuaded Qiao Guosheng, "Mr. Qiao, you don't have to be so angry. I asked when I went for the test, and there is a high probability that the baby is a boy."

"I am younger than Mrs. Qiao, and I am not as strong-willed as she is. If Mrs. Qiao wants to divorce you because of this, you can consider choosing me. We will raise our son together, and I will love your daughter as my own."

"You don't deserve it!" Qiao Guosheng was so angry that his chest heaved after hearing Wu Mengxue's words, "Don't take me for a fool! I don't even want a son!"

Qiao Shinian breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately her uncle was not shaken by Wu Mengxue's words.

Yu Jingcheng was asked to accompany his uncle to calm down, while Qiao Shinian was left alone in the lounge with Wu Mengxue.

"What benefits did Huo Yuanze promise you that you wanted to frame my uncle like this?" Qiao Shinian asked directly.

Wu Mengxue did not answer but said, "Boss Qiao and I just know each other normally, how can it be called a frame-up?"

Hearing this, Qiao Shinian tightly clenched the recording phone in his hand.

Wu Mengxue did not ask her who Huo Yuanze was, nor did she deny that she was not appointed by Huo Yuanze!

"What is Huo Yuanze's purpose? What exactly do you want to do to the Qiao family?" Qiao Shinian's voice became sharper.

Wu Mengxue raised her head and said, "Ms. Qiao, I don't quite understand what you are talking about. Mr. Qiao and I just had an accident. How can someone of my status possibly deal with your family?"

Qiao Shinian felt a chill in her heart. Wu Mengxue's words sounded like self-defense, but in fact they were an obvious warning. She couldn't deal with the Qiao family, but she did this, which showed that she had a backer.

It would be a waste of time to continue talking to Wu Mengxue, so after having her sent away, Qiao Shinian turned off the recording on his phone.

She originally wanted to start with Wu Mengxue and test her relationship with Huo Yuanze, but she didn't even bother to deny it.

It seems that I have to meet with Mr. Huo.

Qiao Shinian found the number in the address book that he had never contacted before and dialed it.

After the phone rang a few times, the other party answered it but didn't say anything.

Qiao Shinian took a deep breath and called out "Mr. Huo".

Huo Yuanze's slightly arrogant and cold voice came, "What's the matter?"

Qiao Shinian, "Is it convenient for us to meet? I have something I want to ask you."

Just as Qiao Shinian thought, Huo Yuanze was not surprised that she would make this request, and he directly gave the time and place, "Tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock, cigar room."

"Okay, see you tomorrow then."

Qiao Shinian hung up the phone.

The lounge was decorated very exquisitely, with various valuable green plants placed inside. However, in such a thriving environment, Qiao Shinian felt decadent.

In the previous life, Bai Yiyi harmed her and the Qiao family so badly. Was it the work of Huo’s father?
