Chapter 539: Her Secret Boyfriend?
Jiang Baobao was startled by his gaze and subconsciously took a step back, but looking at the man's features, she couldn't help but frown slightly.
Why did she feel... as if she had seen this foreign man somewhere before?
Just as Jiang Baobao was thinking this, she heard the foreign man suddenly speak loudly and fluently in Chinese: "Jiang Baobao! If I hadn't tracked you down here, were you really planning to dump me without a word!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the scene erupted into an uproar.
Almost all the guests immediately began whispering and discussing among themselves.
The media also all raised their cameras and began taking pictures of the man.
Jiang Baobao's mind went blank for a moment, and for a while, she couldn't react.
What was this man talking about?
Did she know him?
What did he mean by dumping him without a word?
"Hey! What nonsense are you spouting? When did Baobao ever know you? I've known her for so many years, how come I've never seen you!"
Cai Xiaotang was the first to react and retorted to the foreign man in a huff.
Jiang Baobao came back to her senses, but subconsciously looked at Li Beijue beside her.
Immediately after, she felt her hand being gripped tighter.
Li Beijue gave her a reassuring look, stepped forward to block her behind him, and then asked coldly: "How did you get in?"
"I... of course I found a way to sneak in!"
The man answered with his neck stiffened, then looked at Jiang Baobao behind Li Beijue.
"Baobao, aren't you going to give me an explanation? You disappeared without a sound and even changed your phone number. Do you know how long I've been looking for you? If I hadn't seen the video you and this gentleman made public on the website that day, I simply wouldn't have believed it... You betrayed me just like that. What about the agreement that returning to the country was only for the Team? Didn't you promise me that as soon as the competition ended, you would go back to see my parents and make our relationship public?"
The man spoke with such deep emotion, as if he were truly facing a heartless woman who had abandoned him.
The three little ones also sensed that something was wrong. Mobai immediately jumped down from the stage and looked at the man in front of him, saying loudly: "My mommy doesn't know you at all! And I don't know you either!"
"Right! I don't know you either!"
Tiantian immediately added.
Jiang Baobao forced herself to quickly regain her composure and stared carefully at the man in front of her for two seconds. Although she still felt he looked familiar, she said with a firm tone: "I'm sorry, sir. Regardless of your purpose for appearing here today, I truly do not know you, and there is certainly nothing between us like what you have described."
The surrounding discussions grew louder, and everyone tacitly chose to watch the show.
For such a big incident to happen at the Li Family's event today, it would be enough for other families to talk about for quite a while after tea and dinner...
"You're planning to pretend you don't know me now, is that it?"
The man smiled, a look of bitterness appearing on his face.
"No wonder you always told me before that our relationship couldn't be known by anyone. So it was for this moment... Once you hooked a rich man, you could kick me away... You never even told me you had three children..."
"This... this is too much, isn't it?"
Someone in the crowd finally couldn't help but whisper.
Immediately, someone replied: "I heard that this granddaughter-in-law of the Li Family is into... esports! She's always been abroad, so it's normal if there's some messy relationship..."
"Tsk, it's a pity for Li Laoyezi. I'm afraid this face is going to be lost all the way to the Pacific Ocean..."
Although the discussions were quiet, they still reached the ears of many people.
Liu Rumeng had been listening from the side for a long time, and seeing that the timing was about right, she was just about to speak...
Li Laoyezi, who had been silent for a long while, spoke first: "Young man, you can't just say whatever you want. You say the Jiang girl deceived your feelings, do you have any evidence?"
After Li Laoyezi finished speaking, everyone immediately looked at the foreign man in unison.
Liu Rumeng curled her lips into a smile and swallowed back the words she was about to say.
Having someone else say it for her saved quite a bit of trouble...
Liu Rumeng glanced at Jiang Baobao with disdain and followed up on Li Laoyezi's words: "Grandpa Li is right. How can such a thing be so unclear? Empty words are no proof. Do you have any evidence?"
"I do!"
The man acted as if he had been prepared for a long time, and while speaking, he quickly took out his phone!
"Here is a photo of us taken abroad. She didn't allow me to make it public, so this is the only photo where our faces are visible, and I once posted it on social media during the year we were dating!"
As the man spoke, he quickly opened the interface of an app and displayed the photo on his phone.
Those standing close by saw the photo, and the crowd erupted into another uproar.
It could be seen that in the photo, a younger-looking Jiang Baobao was standing with this man, and both of them were smiling at the camera.
Jiang Baobao's eyes widened suddenly, and in a flash of insight, she finally remembered something.
It's him!!!
This man was a fan of the Team she met when she was competing abroad a few years ago!
At that time, he was too enthusiastic and insisted on taking a photo with her, so she agreed!
But why did he run here today to slander her?
As Jiang Baobao thought this, she subconsciously glanced in the direction of Liu Rumeng, and she immediately understood the situation.
If today's matter wasn't explained clearly, it would affect the entire Li Family!
And the only person who could benefit from this was Liu Rumeng!
It was highly likely she had arranged all of this!
Just as Jiang Baobao was thinking this, she felt her hand being gently squeezed.
"What's the situation with this photo? Did you two really take it?"
Li Beijue's gentle voice sounded in her ear, without a hint of distrust, just a very normal inquiry.
Jiang Baobao felt a warmth in her heart and leaned into his ear to answer: "We did take it, but at that time, he said he was a fan of the Team, which is why I took the photo with him. I don't know him at all, and I haven't seen him once in these past few years..."
Li Beijue's eyes flickered for a moment, and he immediately understood what was going on.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard Liu Rumeng on the side say: "This photo doesn't prove anything, does it? It doesn't look any different from an ordinary photo, and the two of you don't look very intimate in your posture..."
As Liu Rumeng spoke, she cast a calm, sidelong glance at Li Beijue, and seeing his expression of slight relief, she could not help but feel smug inside.
She had, after all, put in a good word for her in front of Beijue... Beijue should be grateful, right?
However, this photograph was not even the half of it.
In a moment, the true nightmare for that woman, Jiang Baobao, would begin!
Even if Li Beijue liked her no matter what and could ignore everything, Li Laoyezi was different!
After an incident like this, he would certainly never let Jiang Baobao step foot into the Li Family gates again!
