My Wife, The Ice Queen President

Chapter 418: Field Declaration (Five More)_1
 

Yang Xinyi instinctively resisted, not letting him hold her hand, but Ye Xiong said, “If you want to restore your reputation, cooperate with me.”

Hearing him say this, Yang Xinyi could only let him pull her onto the stage.

Who wouldn’t want to restore their honor, who would be willing to carry a bad name for life?

If she didn’t explain things clearly, she would never be able to hold her head high again.

Ye Xiong, holding Yang Xinyi’s hand, walked onto the stage and shouted at Su Zhentian who was still standing there, “Excuse us, step aside for a moment, I’ll settle accounts with you later.”

“What a domineering presence, getting on the stage and saying he’s going to settle accounts with Su Zhentian, who is this guy, so arrogant?” someone in the crowd said.

People outside the stage were all guessing Ye Xiong’s identity.

Su Zhentian hesitated, then stepped to the side.

Because he saw Yang Xinyi next to him suddenly become very calm, as if she had found a safe haven, this scene led him to guess that this man’s relationship with Xinyi must be extraordinary.

Ye Xiong got on the stage, one hand still holding Yang Xinyi, the other hand took the microphone and said, “Hello everyone, my name is Ye Xiong, Yang Xinyi’s ex-husband. Today, I want to clarify some things and clear my wife’s name.”

At Ye Xiong’s words, the entire venue was in an uproar, no one had expected Yang Xinyi’s ex-husband to appear here at this time.

All gazes were now on Ye Xiong.

Just now, Ye Xiong had beaten several security guards ferociously, frightening everyone present, no one dared to come forward to stop him, even Guan Liuzhen, Su Yue, and the couple Su Wei, all stood aside, not daring to make a move.

“I also have another name, Ye Jun, the son of Ye Yuandong, the chairman of Haitian Group,” Ye Xiong continued.

As soon as his words fell, the crowd exploded, seething with excitement.

“What, Yang Xinyi’s ex-husband is Ye Jun?”

“Who is Ye Jun?”

“You don’t know Ye Jun and you call yourself a Capital City resident?”

“You’ve heard about the jewelry exhibition heist at Haitian Group, haven’t you? Ye Jun is the man who single-handedly took out an entire vicious Mercenary Group.”

“He knows martial arts, real martial arts, not the kind you see on TV.”

Voices from the crowd abounded, all filled with shock as they looked towards Ye Xiong.

Some young girls, gazing at Ye Xiong, all had eyes filled with adoration.

A man who was skilled in martial arts, young and handsome, and came from a wealthy family—what woman wouldn’t like him?

“Ye Jun, I love you, I’m crazy about you.”

Below, a woman’s sudden outburst caught everyone off guard.

All eyes turned to the girl, surprisingly pretty, though she couldn’t hold a candle to Yang Xinyi, she was still above average.

Facing the multitude of eyes, the girl was not afraid whatsoever and instead shouted loudly, “What are you looking at? I like him, and I personally saw him fight robbers at a jewelry exhibition!”

Everyone had the same four words pop into their heads: youthful and willful.

The girl’s words eased the tension in the air substantially.

On the other hand, Guan Liuzhen, Su Yue, and the Su Wei couple’s faces turned extremely unsightly, as they had never expected Yang Xinyi’s ex-husband to be such an impressive individual.

Seizing the moment, Guan Liuzhen spoke up, “Ye Jun, since you and Yang Xinyi are divorced, she is no longer connected to you. Please do not interfere with our family matters.”

“Miss Guan Liuzhen, accusing someone of being shameful without first investigating the truth is a crime,” Ye Xiong’s gaze fell icily upon her face; his voice became stern, “She may have held a wedding with someone else before, but she was forced into it; she never liked that man, or maybe she didn’t even know if she liked him at all.”

“I believe many people have similar experiences. Just take Su Zhentian as the simplest example. He once thought you, Guan Liuzhen, were alright and could be with you for a lifetime, so he married you. But when he met Xinyi’s mother later, he understood what true love was, what it felt like to be head over heels, to swear eternal love, to feel a day apart as long as an age without her. Looking back on his time with you, it wasn’t love at all, it was bullshit.”

“Ye Jun, stop spouting nonsense, or I’ll sue you,” Guan Liuzhen warned fiercely.

Ye Xiong ignored her; indifference was the strongest weapon. He continued, “Under such circumstances, Xinyi agreed to marry He Haodong. At the wedding, the groom got caught cheating with another woman in an upstairs room, unintentionally discovered by me, leading her to decide to flee. That is the real reason why Yang Xinyi ran away from her wedding. Until now, less than five people know this truth. Xinyi’s proud nature made her reluctant to let others know of such an embarrassing encounter. I don’t think it’s anything to be ashamed of; after all, she wasn’t taken advantage of, but she doesn’t see it that way.”

Below, the faces of the Yang Dingguo couple were deeply troubled; they never expected such a thing had happened.

No wonder Xinyi was so angry back then, slapping He Haodong before fleeing the wedding.

“Xinyi’s foster father was unaware of this situation and demanded she marry that man. He relentlessly pestered her, and in those circumstances, she came up with a solution, which was to find a man to marry. She figured if she got married, her parents and that man would give up. Under these conditions, myself being someone who had met her only twice and didn’t know her well, registered to marry her.”

There was a long silence below, and for a long while, no one spoke. They had never imagined such a dramatic relationship between the two.

Phoenix stood in a corner, clad in black, staring blankly at Ye Xiong on stage.

At that moment, she found him irresistibly charming.

Murong Siyu stood in another corner, her eyes also fixed on him.

There was no denying that Ye Xiong’s speech was captivating. With every gesture and every word, he held everyone’s rapt attention, leaving them all eager to hear the rest of the story unfold.

“Our marriage began merely as a transaction, but as time went on, I hopelessly fell in love with this girl and pursued her fiercely. Unfortunately, maybe I wasn’t good enough, perhaps not handsome enough, or maybe not wealthy enough. Later, upon Yang Xinyi’s request, we divorced. To add, she knew my true identity before our divorce.”

“I don’t know why some people view Xinyi as a scheming woman who got everything through unscrupulous means, thinking she acknowledged her father on stage just for money. I would like to ask those present, if it was for money, why didn’t she choose to marry me? Money doesn’t mean much to me; if she married me, wouldn’t she eventually get the Ye Family’s wealth anyway? Compared to the Ye Family’s fortunes, the share she’s entitled to from the Su Family is far less, right?”

It must be said, these words elevated Yang Xinyi’s worth to an incredible height.

To be able to turn down the pursuit of Ye Yuandong’s son—how proud must this girl be?

Those who said she was greedy and would do anything for money, that she sold herself for it, can now shut their mouths, right?
