Chapter 1022 - 505: Moral Support? Caught in the Turmoil
After Luo Fei explained the sequence of events.
Deng Wen was a bit hesitant.
Because she knew.
She had once met the Hu family father and daughter at a wine party.
And through this meeting, Deng Wen was very sure.
Hu Xueli couldn’t possibly commit murder.
"I still remember that at the time, Miss Hu seemed to be about to get engaged."
"But later her father didn’t agree to the marriage, so it ultimately came to nothing."
Upon hearing Deng Wen’s reminder.
Hu Xueli was also indifferent.
"Yes, but actually, that incident was a blunder. I’m quite embarrassed to talk about it. I didn’t expect that this matter would end up becoming widely known."
However, Hu Xueli hesitated to speak further.
She was also somewhat embarrassed.
The tone of her speech was soft, giving off an impression of being well-educated and rational.
It certainly didn’t make one think of her as a murderer.
But Luo Fei said seriously.
"Miss Hu, it’s already come to this point, why don’t you stop covering it up?"
"Why did you call off the engagement at that time? What exactly happened during the process? If I were you, I’d just say it directly!"
"This might be critical to the final judgment of the case."
Seeing Luo Fei’s expression slightly grave.
His face also very serious.
Hu Xueli had no choice but to take a deep breath.
Explained with great embarrassment.
"Mr. Luo, actually, this matter has almost become a worry for my father now."
It turns out, just last year.
Hu Xueli’s father saw that she was unwilling to look for a partner or go on blind dates.
He decided to introduce her to a suitable candidate.
To help her find someone to settle down with.
After all, she was already of age, no longer a young girl.
She should find a good family, so Mr. Hu could be at ease.
But after the old father made the introduction.
Hu Xueli was quite unwilling.
"My dad also said that everyone values a good match. If I meet a suitable person, I should boldly try and date them. But in my view, that rich young man was simply a playboy, not worthy of my lifelong commitment."
Hu Xueli said this.
Causing Luo Fei and Li Yu to exchange a glance.
"Miss Hu, if I’m not mistaken. This kind of marriage is usually arranged by the parents before informing the children."
"So your father may have already told others about your marriage before notifying you. This makes you feel very disrespected?"
Seeing Luo Fei seriously asking this.
Hu Xueli was also indifferent.
"Mr. Luo is right."
"At that time, my father was drinking with that person’s parents, and during a moment of intoxication, he happily agreed to the matter."
"When he came home and told me about this, I was dumbfounded."
As Hu Xueli spoke, her shoulders trembled.
But seeing her full of grievance, like someone being bullied.
Luo Fei couldn’t help but be curious at this moment.
"But Miss Hu, even so, couldn’t you refuse? At worst, you could go and apologize with your father, returning the promised marriage money, and the situation wouldn’t escalate, would it?"
However, as Luo Fei said this.
The tone was full of curiosity and doubt, even some confusion about the approach.
But at this time, Hu Xueli couldn’t help sighing.
"Mr. Luo, although I really want to say, you’re right."
"But when my father and I visited, Boss Huang surprisingly played a recording that he claimed my father asked him to make."
"And he said that people like him work in official establishments, and if he was exposed for breaking promises, his image among his apprentices would greatly suffer. This would also damage my father’s reputation."
As Hu Xueli spoke.
She bit her lip.
It was evident that she was rather distressed.
Luo Fei nodded.
"I see, Miss Hu means that given your personality. Under such circumstances, you’d agree to the request."
"That’s right."
Through Hu Xueli’s explanation, Luo Fei then understood.
It turns out she initially intended to cancel the marriage.
But for her father, she endured.
She decided that if Boss Huang’s son could genuinely develop a relationship with her, there wouldn’t be a need to damage her father’s reputation.
After all, she’s never been assertive from a young age and wouldn’t oppose her father, so she didn’t want this to be an exception.
"What later influenced you to change your mind and thoughts, Miss Hu?"
Luo Fei spoke, his tone gentle.
His face written with curiosity and puzzlement.
And it was apparent he was somewhat surprised.
Yet Hu Xueli was indifferent.
"Mr. Luo, I later discovered, when I was engaged to this Huang gentleman, he was still seeing someone else. Their communication through messages was very explicit, with no regard, almost as if I didn’t exist."
"That’s why I took some photos and demanded that he cancel the engagement."
Originally, Hu Xueli hoped that if this Huang gentleman could sincerely date her.
Live a decent life and build a happy family.
She wouldn’t have anything to say.
But the issue was the other party was fickle.
Moreover, he openly said to Hu Xueli that she was just a distraction arranged by her father.
He genuinely didn’t want to get married.
This was what angered Hu Xueli.
"I understand, looking at it this way, this Huang gentleman’s actions were indeed inappropriate."
Upon hearing Luo Fei’s affirmation.
