Chapter 433: Chapter 433: Awkward Situation_1

Old Master Mo was chatting with relatives about family matters.

From the corner of his eye, he saw Mo Shaoyun, looking upset, dash upstairs and his mouth twitched uncomfortably.

Mo Shaoyun was getting along with Zhang Xian upstairs just moments ago, so why did she run upstairs angrily after coming downstairs? What was the conflict between them?

"Uh... "

Upon seeing this, Xiao Nan, furrowing her brows, walked up to Zhang Xian and asked, "What have you done again to upset Mo Shaoyun? How are you going to make amends acting like this?"

"How dare you accuse me?"

Zhang Xian glared at Xiao Nan in anger and said, "Now I’m wondering why you and Mo Shaoyun had to lie to me?"

"I..."

Xiao Nan, puzzled, asked, "How did we deceive you? What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Still not admitting it?"

Zhang Xian, irritated, said, "That night, I didn’t do anything. Why did you two assume I took advantage of you? Can you give me a reason?"

"You did nothing? Why are you saying this out of blue?" Xiao Nan was even more confused.

Zhang Xian coolly responded, "Why? Because neither of you has ever been touched—it’s as if you’re both still virgins. Are you playing me?"

"How...how is that possible?"

Xiao Nan said, "There was blood on the couch, and I felt unwell. Are you saying you didn’t do anything? Can you explain that to me? Are you just trying to find an excuse?"

"Well then! I cannot explain. I do not know why either."

Zhang Xian said, "However, if you do not believe me, take Mo Shaoyun to the hospital for a check. I trust the doctor won’t lie to you!"

"This..."

Xiao Nan said, "That’s impossible! If you didn’t do anything, why did I feel such pain that night?"

"Who am I supposed to ask about that?"

Zhang Xian retorted, "You and Mo Shaoyun were both drunk. Couldn’t you have bumped into something? Although it’s quite a coincidence that both of you felt uncomfortable, could you guarantee that it didn’t happen?"

"I..."

Xiao Nan didn’t know what to say. Did nothing really happen that night?

If that were the case, then Mo Shaoyun really had been wronged this time! Would Mo Shaoyun get so angry if it were not for this? Zhang Xian was wrongly accused here.

At this point, she finally understood why Zhang Xian was so angry. He had been quite wronged recently.

Regaining her composure, she looked at Zhang Xian and asked, "Mo Shaoyun still doesn’t know about this, does she?"

"She doesn’t know yet."

Zhang Xian grumpily responded, "I was merely venting a little after finding out the truth, but she became hasty enough to cancel our engagement. She’s too arrogant."

"You..."

Xiao Nan facepalmed, looking exasperated.

She felt that being sandwiched between Zhang Xian and Mo Shaoyun was truly distressing at times. Both sides demanded her explanation for the same situation.

Taking a deep breath, she looked at Zhang Xian and queried, "Are you upset?"

Zhang Xian scoffed, "Isn’t that obvious? Who could still be laughing after being wrongly accused like this?"

"Okay! You’re upset, but have you considered Mo Shaoyun?"

Xiao Nan said, "You were just wrongfully accused, but she lost her precious first time. Is it appropriate for you to be so angry with her? I’m telling you, we were completely unaware of this."

"Wouldn’t you know if you were harmed?" Zhang Xian didn’t believe her.

Xiao Nan said, "We saw blood on the couch, and our bodies felt uncomfortable. We instinctively thought you had done something to us. Isn’t that understandable?"

Zhang Xian frowned and asked, "You really had no idea?"

"We had no clue."

Xiao Nan said to Zhang Xian, "Do you think we would joke about something like this? Is Mo Shaoyun this type of person? Don’t you know her?"

"Well... " Zhang Xian paused, frowning at her words.

If things were truly as Xiao Nan said, that both he and Mo Shaoyun were clueless, then perhaps he had overreacted earlier.

However, he didn’t think he was wrong. Mo Shaoyun got angry at him unknowingly, while he got angry with her without knowing the truth either. In this case, no one was right or wrong.

If he had to blame something, it would be the absurd coincidence of this situation. Everyone was caught in it without knowing the truth.

"What are you still doing here?"

Xiao Nan urged, "Explain it to Mo Shaoyun in person now! After all this commotion, you might get more opportunities. I’ll be waiting for your good news."

"Well, maybe I won’t go upstairs now." Zhang Xian had no intention of going upstairs.

Xiao Nan frowned and queried, "What do you mean? Are you waiting to terminate the engagement, and then just leave?"

"No..."

Zhang Xian said, "Let her think it over first. I believe it would be more beneficial for her to calm down at this time. It could improve her judgment."

"Are you really willing to trouble her like this?"

Xiao Nan glared at Zhang Xian and said, "How can you be so annoying? If you don’t tell her, I will. Don’t you know how heartbroken she is right now?"

"Go ahead!"

Zhang Xian laughed, "You’d do better than me in this."

"You really want me to go and talk to him, don’t you?"

Zhang Xian gave a cheeky grin and said, "Well, isn’t it better for you to talk to him rather than me?"

"Fine, I’ll go."

Xiao Nan rolled her eyes at Zhang Xian before turning around and heading upstairs.

...

In a room upstairs...

Mo Shaoyun laid on the bed, quietly sobbing.

She was not the type of woman who liked to cry and seldom shed tears. However, what happened today had truly broken her heart.

Even though she detested Zhang Xian right now, his casual agreement to cancel their engagement made her feel as if she had been living a lie, causing a great conflict in her heart.

She should have felt relieved at this point, finally free, but she couldn’t quite let go. After all, this was her first relationship.

This relationship that started from a blurry beginning at a young age had finally come to an end.

"Click!"

Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and Xiao Nan strolled in with a smile.

Mo Shaoyun quickly wiped away her tears, turned around, and asked, "Sister Nan, why did you come up? I want to be alone for a while, please go down."

"I came to talk to you about something."

Xiao Nan sat down next to the bed and asked, "Shaoyun, about what happened the other night, are you certain about it?"

"What do you mean?" Mo Shaoyun frowned.

Xiao Nan said, "Zhang Xian told me earlier, we are both still virgins. This means, nothing happened that night, our discomfort might have been caused by something else."

"How can it be?"

Mo Shaoyun responded, "Wasn’t there still a blood stain on the sofa? What is he up to? Why did he suddenly tell you all this?"

"I have no idea about that."

Xiao Nan said, "But he suggested we can go to the hospital for a check-up. If you believe Zhang Xian was lying to you, I can accompany you to the hospital for a check-up."

"Well... how can we check this kind of thing?"

Mo Shaoyun didn’t seem keen, "Do you think he is trying to take advantage of us being too afraid to go, so he could get away with what he said?"

"Eh... Shaoyun, do you hate Zhang Xian that much? How could he possibly do such a thing?"

Xiao Nan gave a bitter smile and said, "Moreover, if it were you, would you dare to do this? It’s nothing but a routine check-up. There are alternative ways which would work too!"

"You mean..."

Mo Shaoyun, surprised, looked at Xiao Nan and asked, "Did we misunderstand Zhang Xian before?"

"Yes..."

Xiao Nan nodded and said, "In fact, although Zhang Xian occasionally crosses the line, he’s not the type to take advantage of people in distress; you should know this."

Mo Shaoyun frowned, saying nothing.

What Xiao Nan stated, she didn’t oppose. Indeed, Zhang Xian would not take advantage of people when they were down. Even though he sometimes took liberties, he never went too far.

Partly because of this, she was still harboring illusions for Zhang Xian despite him having numerous other women. If Zhang Xian were someone who thought with his lower body all the time, she would never have given him a second thought.

"Now, you wouldn’t be thinking of ending the engagement with Zhang Xian anymore, right? If so, Zhang Xian would be wronged!"

Mo Shaoyun said, "But... do you know how Zhang Xian reacted when I mentioned canceling our engagement? He didn’t even give it a thought and agreed immediately."

"Anyone would do the same!"

Xiao Nan said, "When you told him, it was exactly when he realized he had been wronged. How could he not agree?"

Mo Shaoyun said, "How would I know that I wasn’t deflowered?"

Xiao Nan asked with a bitter smile, "Considering you now know that, why is it so hard for you to accept he might not have known you were unaware of this? He even said we were conspiring against him."

"This..." Mo Shaoyun was at a loss for words.

She had already uttered harsh words earlier. How was she supposed to approach Zhang Xian now? This was a troubled question!

The truth of the matter was out now. Zhang Xian had done nothing to her. Without a second thought, she had come to terms with stop blaming Zhang Xian. In fact, she now believed the fault was hers.

Indeed, without finding out the truth, she had unjustly blamed Zhang Xian.

Xiao Nan asked, "What do you plan to do? Apologize to him?"

"I want to... but..."

Mo Shaoyun expressed her frustration, "Sister Nan, it’s really not easy to talk about this kind of thing. I don’t even know how to talk to him about it. It’s rather embarrassing."

"Regardless of what kind of apology, you’re still too embarrassed to say it."

Xiao Nan said, "But you will need to solve this issue eventually, right? We are at fault here, and he has always been the victim."

"I..."

Mo Shaoyun hesitated, "Let me think! I am in the wrong and therefore need to apologize. I’m not an unreasonable person. It’s just that I don’t know how to say it."

"Then you should think about it."

Xiao Nan stood up, "I’ll go down first and see what Zhang Xian is up to."
