Chapter 144: Chapter 144: What About Adding Me?
Qin Chuan’s voice, like a thunderclap, exploded in the banquet hall.
"He, he really did come!"
Sitting at the back table, Xiao Qing said with a look of surprise.
Just moments ago, she had assured Xiao Tianquan that Qin Chuan would absolutely not set foot in here.
But now, she had been sharply contradicted.
Xiao Tianquan’s expression had already darkened to the extreme; the thing he feared most had still happened.
If the marital alliance were to fail, the Xiao Family would be completely finished.
Xiao Mengyi stared blankly at the man beside her who was tightly holding her hand, as tears burst forth like a flood breaching its dam.
The scene fell deathly silent, everyone looked as if they had seen a ghost.
Someone dared to pull such a stunt at the Chen Family’s engagement party?
Standing in front of the microphone, Chen Kun’s face contorted ferociously as he roared in a low growl, "Qin Chuan!!"
Today was supposed to be his day of great joy, yet it was marred by two major upheavals, a disgrace for the entire Chen Family!
Qin Chuan didn’t pay any attention to the enraged Qin Chuan; instead, he looked tenderly at Xiao Mengyi beside him and said, "Silly woman, why didn’t you tell me?"
She seemed to sense the multitude of emotions contained in Qin Chuan’s words—fear, excitement, reproach, affection...
Qin Chuan felt a surge of fear in his heart; had he truly left after receiving Xiao Mengyi’s ruthless phone call, wouldn’t Xiao Mengyi have married Chen Kun?
Xiao Mengyi was the mother of his child; how could she marry someone else?
Fortunately, just as he was preparing to leave the provincial capital, Song Yan called him and told him everything.
While Xiao Mengyi was still in a daze, Qin Chuan suddenly squatted down, pressing his ear to her abdomen.
"I don’t know if it’s a boy or a girl, why isn’t there any movement?"
"So quiet, it must be a daughter!"
"Boy or girl, it doesn’t matter; they’re my child, and that’s enough!"
Qin Chuan murmured to himself, his silly smiling face brimming with happiness.
It was not until that moment that Xiao Mengyi came back to her senses; Qin Chuan knew everything. Blushing, she said, "I’m just over a month pregnant, how could there be any movement?"
As soon as she spoke these words, she regretted them immediately.
The banquet hall, already quiet because of Qin Chuan’s arrival, fell dead silent; though their voices were soft, they were clearly heard by everyone present.
For a moment, everyone’s eyes widened in disbelief, their faces a picture of incredulity.
Many people looked sympathetically at Chen Kun when they turned to him.
Chen Kun himself was enraged to the extreme, fists clenched tightly, his face distorted with ferocity.
He knew that the relationship between Qin Chuan and Xiao Mengyi was unclear, but he never imagined Xiao Mengyi could be pregnant.
"How could this happen?"
Xiao Qing was stunned, her face turning pale.
If Qin Chuan’s appearance meant there was still a chance for the alliance between the Chen and Xiao families to continue, then the revelation of Xiao Mengyi’s pregnancy meant there was absolutely no possibility of it going on!
"Qin Chuan! I want you dead!"
Chen Kun finally exploded, roaring with rage: "Men!"
At his command, over a dozen Chen Family Martial Artists, already stationed within the banquet hall, burst forth, instantly surrounding Qin Chuan in the middle.
Xiao Mengyi immediately turned pale with worry, her face urgent as she urged, "Don’t worry about me; get out of here quickly!"
She knew that Qin Chuan had extraordinary skills; on his own, he might still have a chance to escape.
She didn’t know what her feelings for Qin Chuan were, but at this moment, all she wanted was for Qin Chuan to leave alive.
She stood directly in front of Qin Chuan, staring at the enraged Chen Kun and said, "You know now that I am carrying Qin Chuan’s child, and I presume you won’t have any more thoughts of being engaged to me, I hope you’re generous enough to let us leave."
Looking at the slender figure shielding him, Qin Chuan felt a surge of emotion, this silly woman, truly naive and adorable in her foolishness.
The Chen Family had expended so much effort to host this engagement banquet, only for it to be ruined by them; how could Chen Kun possibly let them leave?
Sure enough, Chen Kun became even more furious, the flames of anger in his eyes almost materializing, as he gritted his teeth and said, "You slut, do you really think the Chen Family is so easy to provoke?"
"So what if you’re pregnant? After I kill him, I’ll take you for an abortion!"
"Today, even if you die, you will still marry me!"
"The thought of you leaving me is absolutely impossible!"
Chen Kun’s words left everyone present dumbstruck.
Seated at the main table, Chen Baiqiang finally couldn’t hold back and scolded, "Just a slut, is she worth it for you?"
Chen Kun, with bloodshot eyes, looked at Chen Baiqiang and said, "Dad, your son has his plans, please give your blessing!"
"You..."
Chen Baiqiang, unable to contain his anger and full of disappointment, ultimately said nothing more.
Xiao Tianquan and Xiao Qing, who had already been in despair, were now overjoyed; despite everything, Chen Kun still wanted to marry Xiao Mengyi.
"Xiao Mengyi, have you lost your mind?"
Xiao Qing stood up, her face full of anger as she said, "Apologize to Young Master Chen right now! If you cannot obtain his forgiveness, you will surely regret it!"
Her words were filled with a threatening tone.
Xiao Mengyi suddenly remembered, the reason she was forced to agree to the engagement with Chen Kun was that Xiao Qing had threatened her with Qin Chuan’s sister.
With this thought, she became both angry and anxious, and eventually, biting her lip, stepped back a few paces, her eyes red as she said, "Qin Chuan, I’m begging you, please leave this place quickly!"
Qin Chuan frowned, naturally sensing Xiao Mengyi’s distress.
He said earnestly, "Xiao Yi, what on earth happened? Don’t be afraid, tell me, and I will solve it!"
Xiao Mengyi was almost frantic, she shook her head and said, "Don’t ask anymore, I’m begging you to leave quickly!"
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to say, but she didn’t dare to; once she revealed the truth, Xiao Qing, in her madness, would truly give the command for the Xiao Family Martial Artist to kill Qin Nian.
Even if she was really engaged to Chen Kun now, what of it? They were not yet married after all.
But if Qin Nian died because of her, what face would she have to confront Qin Chuan in the future?
"Seize this bastard first, and after the engagement banquet is over, I will make his life worse than death!"
At this moment, Chen Kun suddenly issued an order.
"I’d like to see who dares!"
Just then, an angry roar echoed through the entire banquet hall.
Immediately after, a swarm of people rushed in, surrounding the Chen Family Martial Artists.
"Huang Jin!"
Seeing the arrivals, Chen Kun was stunned for an instant, then laughed out of extreme anger, "I was wondering how you could remain so calm, turns out you had already turned Huang Jin, this waste, against us."
"With just him, can he keep you safe?"
The people at the scene felt their brain cells running out.
Wasn’t Huang Jin the Chen Family’s dog? Why was he opposing the Chen Family now?
Had he gone mad?
"If Huang Jin is not enough, what if I join in?"
Just then, another group of people charged in, led by a stunningly beautiful young woman.
The key point was, this batch of strong individuals numbered about thirty, and each emitted a terrifying Martial Artist’s aura.
