Chapter 177 Public Humiliation
Chapter 177 Public Humiliation
Ye Xinghe calmly watched the stage, a very bad premonition welling up in her heart. She felt that what Chu Mofan was about to say must be related to her.
This experience never happened in her previous life. On the day of her graduation dinner, Chu Mofan drugged her, and she became pregnant unexpectedly. The two then got married.
Ye Xinghe had no idea what was going to happen next.
Chu Mofan gazed at Ye Xinghe with tender, loving eyes and slowly spoke:
"I've imagined this moment countless times in my mind. I've always felt that this scene must be decorated in a gorgeous and dreamlike way, so that I can still feel wonderful when I look back on it when I'm old."
"It wasn't until this day actually came that I realized that nothing else mattered except you."
"I want you to wake up with me every day and fall asleep with me every night. No matter how many years have passed, I will still love you as I do now. I can't see any other girl but you. I want to quietly spend the rest of my life with you."
Will you marry me, Ye Xinghe?
After Chu Mofan finished speaking, the audience erupted in an uproar.
Only Ye Shuang stood there dumbfounded, staring wide-eyed at Chu Mofan in astonishment, thinking, "I just confessed my feelings to you, and you didn't agree. So you're going to propose to Ye Xinghe?!"
Everyone looked at Ye Xinghe, waiting for her answer.
Ye Xinghe guessed what Chu Mofan was going to do when he was only halfway through his sentence.
"That Chu Mofan is indeed cunning. Proposing at Xiao Shuang's birthday party is just a way of sabotaging our sisterly relationship! And doing it in front of so many people, does he think I won't embarrass him? Hmph, Chu Mofan, you're overthinking it. I've already trampled your face under my feet."
Ye Xinghe slowly stood up, faced the stage, and said, word by word, "I, do not, want to."
Chu Mofan looked slightly surprised, then said gently, "Xinghe, I understand if you don't agree to my proposal now. I'll give you time to think it over. We can start dating and see how it goes..."
"Chu Mofan, listen to what I'm saying clearly, I'm not willing." Ye Xinghe said coldly, her eyes filled with disdain. "If you don't have this thought in your heart, giving me more time won't help."
"Besides, today is Xiao Shuang's birthday. Xiao Shuang is the main character. Who proposes at someone's birthday party?! Even if Xiao Shuang doesn't mind, and my second uncle and aunt don't mind, I, as the older sister, will mind!"
Ye Xinghe quickly deflected the question, saying that it was all Chu Mofan's idea and had nothing to do with her.
"Furthermore, what you consider unimportant, I believe is extremely important. You think you can marry me without spending a single penny, by using someone else's venue and saying a few nice words? You really don't take me, Ye Xinghe, seriously at all, and you don't take the Ye family seriously at all!"
Chu Mofan blushed deeply. He fumbled in his pants pocket and pulled out a box. "Ye Xinghe, I prepared a ring, but I was too nervous and forgot to take it out."
Ye Xinghe glanced at it, a hint of hatred flashing in her eyes. She recognized the ring; in her previous life, she treasured it like a precious gem, wearing it for ten years. Later, she learned that the ring Chu Mofan had given her wasn't a real diamond at all, but rather a moissanite, a far more expensive gem.
Ye Xinghe sneered, "You can't even afford a big fake ring, is this how you show your sincerity in wanting to marry me?"
Chu Mofan was immediately panicked, "How did Ye Xinghe know that the ring was fake?!"
He laughed awkwardly, "I bought it at the Wanmao City counter, how could it be fake?"
"You said the ring is small, that's true. Xingyu knows how little I earn each month, this is all the savings I've taken out."
Chu Mofan's attitude was very sincere, making people feel that he could spend all his money for Ye Xinghe and that he was truly devoted to her.
Ye Xinghe slowly walked to the front of the stage, took the box from Chu Mofan's hand, and asked, "You said you bought it at a department store, which department store?"
“I spend several million yuan every year in Wanmao City. I know exactly where those diamond brands are located on which floor. I’ve never heard of your brand before.”
Chu Mofan calmly replied, "It's not this Wanmao City in Jiangyang. I bought it during a business trip a while ago."
"Oh. I bought it on a business trip." Ye Xinghe looked at the ring in her hand, showing great interest. "What's the quality of this ring? What grade is it? How's the cut?"
Chu Mofan scratched his head. "I'm a straight man, how would I know about these things?"
"But the shop assistant told me, but I didn't remember."
Ye Xinghe smiled slightly, "It's okay if you didn't remember. I recently learned some knowledge about diamond identification, so I can show off my skills."
She stepped into the light, took out her phone, turned on video recording, activated macro mode, and began recording, aiming the camera at the diamond's girdle.
"Click." With a screenshot sound, Ye Xinghe returned the ring to Chu Mofan. "Diamonds all have a girdle mark, and yours does indeed have one."
Chu Mofan feigned composure and said, "Yes. I already told you it's a real diamond. Who would propose with a fake diamond?"
"Hey! You never know. There are some really lousy people out there." Ye Xinghe said while fiddling with her phone, "If it's a real diamond, you can enter the serial number to check all the information. You'll know for sure whether it's real or not right away."
Ye Xinghe raised the corners of her mouth and turned her phone screen towards Chu Mofan, "Your diamond doesn't have any information."
"This...this is impossible." Chu Mofan leaned closer and pretended to look at the photo of the waist size that Ye Xinghe had taken. "I really bought it at the counter. How could this be?"
"Did the official store sell me a counterfeit product?"
Ye Xinghe looked at him like he was an idiot. "Then you'll be rich! Selling counterfeit goods can get you triple compensation, which is much more than your salary!"
At this point, everyone in the audience understood what was going on.
Ye's parents, who had initially held some goodwill towards Chu Mofan, couldn't help but frown.
Ye's father muttered from below the stage, "This Chu Mofan is incredibly audacious! He actually dared to try and deceive my daughter with a fake diamond ring!"
Ye's mother comforted her, "Forget it, just don't associate with this kind of person anymore."
Although the two were not speaking loudly, their voices still reached Chu Mofan's ears to some extent.
Chu Mofan was extremely frustrated! Not only had today's matter made no progress, but it had also been botched again! And this time it was even worse than before! Even Ye's parents had developed a dislike for him.
What's wrong with Ye Xinghe?! It seems like she's become incredibly difficult to deal with ever since graduation. And it's like she knows exactly what I'm going to do!
