Glamorous Doctor

Zhao Xiaotang found it inexplicable, then coldly said on the phone, "Xu Mengyan, are you sick? Why are you swearing at me?"

"You ask why I'm swearing at you? You and Zhang Yang have only known each other for less than a day, and you're already together?"

"Zhang Yang has already rejected you, and yet you're shameless, claiming you've known him for a long time and saying Zhang Yang is your boyfriend."

Zhao Xiaotang was very surprised, never expecting that the first person to question her about this would be Xu Mengyan.

Originally, Zhao Xiaotang was prepared for Zhang Yang to call and question her, but she didn't expect it to be Xu Mengyan.

"What is your relationship with Zhang Yang?" Zhao Xiaotang asked.

"What relationship? He's my man, the father of the child in my belly, what do you think our relationship is?"

Hearing this, Zhao Xiaotang was shocked.

She previously thought Zhang Yang was Shen Mange's boyfriend, never imagining Zhang Yang and Xu Mengyan had such a relationship, and there's even a child involved.

"Aren't you with Guo Qiyu..."

Before Zhao Xiaotang could finish, Xu Mengyan interrupted her, "I've nothing to do with Guo Qiyu anymore, I'm sure you've heard, don't mention him to me ever again."

"Today, I'm here to talk about Zhang Yang. I never realized before that you're such a shameless woman."

Although Zhao Xiaotang was a bit displeased, she knew she was indeed in the wrong.

"Calm down a bit, Xu Mengyan. I was forced into this, I had no choice. You've probably heard about my situation too; I don't want to marry Guo Hailong, so I had to take this desperate measure."

Xu Mengyan said angrily, "If you want a man, go find one. Why did you have to pick Zhang Yang?"

"Because the Guo Family fears Zhang Yang. Can you find a second man in H Country who can make the Guo Family suffer as much as Zhang Yang?" Zhao Xiaotang said firmly.

"Don't worry, Xu Mengyan. Once this is over, I'll apologize to Zhang Yang."

Zhao Xiaotang no longer wanted to question the relationship between Zhang Yang and Xu Mengyan. Things had already escalated to this point, and she could only see it through.

Xu Mengyan said irritably, "So you're not planning to clarify your relationship with Zhang Yang, are you?"

"That's right, that's how it is anyway. Whatever you want to do is fine with me."

"The Guo Family also knows by now. I don't know how they'll react, but given Guo Hailong's personality, he probably won't marry me anymore."

"This time, I've risked it all. I don't care about reputation or even family anymore."

"Curse me all you want."

Xu Mengyan didn't expect Zhao Xiaotang to be so brazen and reckless, leaving her caught off guard.

Xu Mengyan then asked, "What about the issue with Li Yun'er? Did you initiate that too?"

Speaking of Li Yun'er, Zhao Xiaotang felt a pang of hatred.

"She also tricked me. Her only goal was to push Xia Xue into the mire, preventing Xia Xue from attending tomorrow's Starlight Award."

"But it seems Li Yun'er has already disappeared; I've tried contacting her, but her phone isn't connecting, and she's not in the hotel either."

"Otherwise, I would have already made her explain that ridiculous statement."

Hearing this, Xu Mengyan's tone slightly softened.

"At least you have some conscience. Where are you now? Zhang Yang and I, along with Shen Mange and Xia Xue, will come to you."

"We must make a joint statement now to explain the past events, turning Li Yun'er's soliloquy into a joke."

Zhao Xiaotang told them her current location; anyway, now that she had achieved her goal, she truly didn't want to cause trouble for Xia Xue and them, so she was naturally willing to cooperate.

Truthfully, Zhao Xiaotang was also quite afraid of facing Zhang Yang and the others now.

But things had escalated to this point, and she had to face it even if she didn't want to; however, the ones she awaited first were her mother and an unexpected guest—her fiancé, Guo Hailong.

Guo Hailong, looking cultured, didn't seem particularly angry upon seeing Zhao Xiaotang, instead wearing a kind smile.

Zhao Xiaotang, however, was displeased as she said to her mother, "You could've come alone; why did you bring someone else?"

Mrs. Zhao spoke forcefully, "He's your fiancé, of course he had to come."

"Quickly explain clearly, just what exactly is going on? Do you really have something with Zhang Yang?"

Guo Hailong remained silent, still smiling warmly at Zhao Xiaotang, awaiting her explanation.

Zhao Xiaotang could only say with determined eyes, "There's nothing to explain. Zhang Yang and I really are in that kind of relationship."

"The photos have already been taken; we're in true love, so let's cancel this engagement."

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhao stood up angrily and slapped Zhao Xiaotang across the face.

"Shameless bitch, is this how I raised you?"

Zhao Xiaotang covered her face, holding back tears.

Indeed, she didn't expect her mother to be so rude, even slapping her in front of an outsider.

But it's also alright this way, Zhao Xiaotang's eyes grew even more determined as she said, "Curse me or beat me, it's up to you. I won't marry Guo Hailong. It was you who orchestrated the engagement with the Guo Family, without my consent."

"What era is this? Business marriages aren't popular anymore."

"I have my own career, my own dreams. I will not pay for your dreams or sacrifice my body and life."

Unexpectedly, her mother slapped her again after these words.

"Without me, where do you have your life and dreams? I gave you your life, don't you know your dad doesn't have much time left? The first and second houses are vying for the inheritance, and here you are. I found you such a good husband, yet you don't cherish it."

"You insist on finding those undependable men outside. Look at that man's character, involved with multiple women."

"It's disgraceful for you to speak up that you're truly in love. Where's your true love? What he loves is your body, your status."

"I don't care how far you've gone, immediately clarify your relationship, saying you were deceived by that jerk."

"Then quickly marry Guo Hailong, or I'll sever our mother-daughter relationship."

Zhao Xiaotang didn't expect things to get to this point, with her mother being so uncompromising.

Her eyes were full of disappointment, sacrificing even her daughter for inheritance.

"Fine, if you want to sever ties, then let's sever them. It's better this way; don't concern yourself with my affairs anymore."

"You brat, dare to speak to me like this. I've raised you for so many years in vain. Are you trying to drive me to my death?" Mrs. Zhao threatened to use death as leverage when one move failed.
