Su Yang's words were actually just meant to scare Su Qian.
Because yesterday in Feng Zhiyu's office, she immediately thought of asking her classmates from the law and computer departments for help, but Feng Zhiyu vetoed it.
Feng Zhiyu said that there was no need to make a big deal out of it. After all, besides himself, as one of the outstanding graduate representatives of the department, Su Yang's reputation was also important.
So Feng Zhiyu's suggestion was to remove the post first and then conduct a private investigation.
But Su Yang didn't expect that the idea that popped into her head yesterday would become something to scare Su Qian with today.
And of course Su Qian didn't understand what Su Yang was talking about. She only saw that Su Yang had been recording the video all along, and that she spoke calmly and confidently, as if she had everything under control. So Su Qian began to feel panicked.
"You... don't try to scare me. What accomplice going to jail? I didn't force you to be a mistress. Where did I slander you?" Su Qian stammered. "If you want to sue me, I... I have plenty of money to hire a good lawyer."
"Then you can give it a try." Su Yang waved her phone. "Real - time recording, irrefutable evidence. Let's see how the court rules!"
The on - lookers around had gradually gathered. Their attention had shifted from Su Yang to Su Qian. The security guards in charge of the lobby also rushed over after hearing the commotion.
Seeing Su Yang so calm, Su Qian secretly gritted her teeth in anger. She turned around and grabbed Xu Lize.
"Xu Lize, you clearly promised to marry me back then. Now you've been blinded by this kind of woman? Aren't you afraid that after you marry her, she'll cuckold you and make things difficult for you every day?"
Su Qian's words were getting more and more out of line, but Xu Lize just kept a solemn face and showed no reaction, as if he was an outsider, quietly watching Su Qian throw a tantrum in public.
Su Yang frowned. She glanced at Xu Lize nervously and reached out to pull Su Qian, trying to take her out of the lobby first.
Just then, the system's call - number bell suddenly rang.
"Newlyweds No. 028, please come to Window 6 to handle your business. Newlyweds No. 028, please come to Window 6..."
"Su Yang, come here. It's time to take the wedding photos." Before the call - number voice stopped, Xu Lize's voice followed closely.
Both Su Yang and Su Qian were stunned.
Su Yang didn't expect that Xu Lize really didn't care about what Su Qian had just done, while Su Qian didn't expect that Xu Lize would really keep his promise and marry Su Yang.
"Su Yang, you shameless..."
Su Qian was instantly enraged. Seeing that all her secret plans had come to nothing and that she had lost so much face in front of a group of strangers, she angrily raised her hand to slap Su Yang.
But before her hand could fall, her forearm was firmly grasped.
"Miss Su, I advise you to behave yourself." Xu Lize had somehow walked up to Su Qian.
He calmly pinched Su Qian's hand with one hand and whispered in her ear in a very soft voice, "Anyone who tries to stop me from getting my marriage certificate today, I guarantee they'll regret it. If Miss Su doesn't believe it, you can give it a try."
Su Qian raised her head. From her angle, she could clearly see the coldness and disdain on Xu Lize's face.
She was so scared by his extremely cold expression that she trembled, but she still didn't forget the purpose of following Xu Lize's car early this morning and coming here with so much effort.
"Mr. Xu... Mr. Xu, Su Yang is not the right person for you. She's just a naive bumpkin who can only study. How could a person like her be a good Mrs. Xu? And those photos are real. I didn't lie to you. Her classmates said that she had an ambiguous relationship with the department's professional course teacher, and her graduation thesis might even have been obtained from the teacher's bed."
But Xu Lize dragged Su Qian expressionlessly and directly brought her in front of the lobby security guards.
"Aren't you responsible for dealing with people who disrupt public order and interfere with others' normal business?"
Seeing the well - dressed man in front of him looking displeased, the security captain quickly detained Su Qian, then bowed and apologized to him, saying that he and his colleagues had not done their jobs well.
Xu Lize nodded. He gave Su Qian, who was being led out by the security guards, a warning look, then turned around and waved at Su Yang.
"What are you standing there for? Let's go. If we miss our number, we'll have to queue up again..."
When Su Yang walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau lobby with the brand - new red marriage certificate in her hand, she felt a strange sense that was hard to describe.
Today, in order to take the photos for the marriage certificate, both she and Xu Lize were wearing white tops.
She was wearing a very simple white round - neck T - shirt, while Xu Lize was wearing an all - white shirt.
When they were sitting together for the photo just now, the photographer had shouted several times for them to sit closer and smile happily.
Looking at the two - person photo on the marriage certificate with a red background and white faces now, Su Yang didn't think Xu Lize looked "very happy" in the photo, but she herself had grinned like a "big fool" who had won the first - prize lottery because of the photographer's repeated urging.
Su Yang just felt helpless and amused. When she looked up again, she found that Xu Lize had already walked a long way. Her heart tightened, and she quickened her steps to catch up.
The two newlyweds got into the same car and returned to Wutong No. 1 in silence.
After entering the house, Xu Lize went straight up to the second floor. Su Yang felt a bit thirsty, so she put down her bag and went to get some water.
Halfway through drinking the water, Xu Lize came downstairs. He had already changed his white shirt into his usual black one.
The stiff fabric set off his well - proportioned figure. The faint rise and fall of his chest was clearly visible, like a powerful force lying dormant under the calm lake, ready to burst out.
For some reason, Su Yang felt nervous just by looking at Xu Lize.
But Xu Lize walked towards her leisurely in his slippers. While carefully rolling up his sleeves, he said casually, "Tell me, what's the deal with those photos?"
Actually, at first, Xu Lize just regarded it as a farce.
He knew Su Qian's ability to make unfounded accusations. He lost interest after hearing a bit about the forum and the photos. After all, he could see through the mean tricks those little girls played at a glance.
The reason he didn't stop it immediately was that Xu Lize thought it would be beneath his dignity to argue with someone like Su Qian.
But as he watched, Xu Lize suddenly felt irritable.
Su Qian had become so bold that she dared to cause trouble in front of him, but Su Yang, who was about to become the legitimate Mrs. Xu, hadn't said a single word to him about it.
After the irritability, Xu Lize suddenly calmed down.
He suddenly thought that the problem might not be with Su Yang but with himself. He seemed to really care too much about this little woman in front of him.
"Two of the photos that look intimate were PSed. The day you went on a business trip to City B, I went back to school to help the department head. I happened to run into our teacher and some senior students having a dinner. The teacher invited me, and I couldn't refuse..."
Naturally, Su Yang was anxious when she heard him say this, but she didn't know where to start explaining.
Originally, she hadn't thought that the photo incident had anything to do with Su Qian, but after Su Qian came to the Civil Affairs Bureau and caused a scene today, Su Yang suddenly remembered that Su Qian had threatened her.
In public before, Su Yang had seemed quite calm, but actually no one knew how flustered she was inside.
Originally, she thought that this incident might be someone trying to set up Feng Zhiyu because they were jealous of him.
But Su Qian's appearance made Su Yang start to suspect that all of this might have been caused by her.
