Falling Dreams Rising Hopes: Saving Mr. Boyfriend - Volume 1 Chapter 234 More Witnesses

“Oh my God, congratulations!!” Su Lang was even happier than the couple. They finally headed home but the friends could not just leave the two alone.

“Did you ever expect it all?” he asked.

“I had not even a tiny speck of idea that he was going to do this. I wanted my proposal to be Ah! Never mind. I am just thankful he finds me worthy of him,” Mei Qingyang waved her hand nonchalantly. In reality, her blush had not left her face, she could die from glee right now.

“You you did not accept it under pressure because of all the eyes on you right?” Yu Tian was having doubts right now. He hoped dearly that that were not the case.

“What if were to say yes?” Mei Qingyang saw how cutely Yu Tian was behaving. His eyes had turned into puppy eyes, glistening with emotions, as if he was unsure of her answer now, even after she had the ring on her finger.

“Qing Qing!” Yu Tian protested. Then he crossed his arms and pouted, “Whatever. You have accepted it in front of national TV, so there is no backing out anyway.”

Mei Qingyang laughed at his antics. She had never seen him like this in her months of association with the group. On the side, the three friends wanted to puke out of sweetness overload. These two could make all the singles feel envy and despair.

Words were failing at the shameless display of their friend, whom they had never known capable of such emotions. What were they seeing ah!

When the guys reached the school campus, they found a few kids at the gate. Most of them consisted of middle and high school students who were yet to be sullied by the school’s rules.

As their cars entered the premises, the kids cheered for them, especially for Yu Tian. The couple rolled down the windows and asked one kid why they were here. The kids, mostly on poor side, told them about how Yu Tian’s speech today encouraged them to face their own ordeals that they have been going through.

They both were glad that Yu Tian could finally see the positive change he was bringing to the country.

“I am so so happy for you Tian. I hope this has helped you recover, even if a little bit,” Mei Qingyang hugged Yu Tian as soon as they boarded the elevator.

“Mmm,” Yu Tian agreed. The kids from earlier did help him placate the anger and resentment he had towards his aunt, and the system in general. This was even more effective than seeing Yu Rong behind the bars.

The door to the elevator opened and they saw a girl standing in front of their door.

“Ms. Gu! How come you are here?” Mei Qingyang was surprised seeing Gu Layue.

The girl in front of them, one of the most elite females, was just standing with a haughty expression on her face. She did not even look at Mei Qingyang but was staring at Yu Tian all the while.

Qingyang did not like it at all. Her eyes twitched with a weird jealousy in her heart. Why did this girl have to stare at someone else’s fianc? A tinge of pink started spreading across her face when she thought of the status change they had just gone through today. She left Yu Tian’s side and took a step to position herself in front of him.

Mei Qingyang glared at Gu Layue fiercely. If this Gu girl needed to talk, she could just talk to her. Or if she needed to gawk at some handsome man, she could just go leer at Su Lang or Feng Yue.

Yu Tian saw his kitten being all jealous and smiled. He had not left his gaze from the girl to even look at Gu Layue.

Gu Layue finally gave a look of annoyance towards Mei Qingyang.

“Don’t misunderstand, I am here to set the record straight,” she spoke with her chin up, as if talking to these two was beneath her status. The couple looked at her in confusion. What was she saying? Nonetheless, they invited her inside.

“I want to offer my help in standing against Yu Rong,” Gu Layue spoke while delicately sipping her tea. Her movements were so graceful yet arrogant that it seemed like she was doing a huge favor to these two by offering her help.

“…” The couple looked at each other. Well, the more the merrier?

“What kind of proofs can you provide us?” Mei Qingyang was still unsure of Gu Layue’s motive. So she had to ask intelligent questions.

“I can give you recordings of the orders she gave to me in order to eliminate the girls around Yu Tian. In order to consolidate my position as his fiance, I had no choice. In return, I want you to promise me I and my family will be kept out of the investigation,” she stated as a matter of fact. She had accepted the fact that Yu Tian could not be hers.

Mei Qingyang suddenly felt the world of rich was scary. They had proof of everything with them as a backup for getting out of situations like these. Would she also need to deal with all these schemes in future?

“I don’t think you are in a position to negotiate with us Ms. Gu. We already have enough evidence against her to convict her for life sentence. What special do you bring to the table?” Mei Qingyang stated calmly. She did not want to give any advantage to the girl who once ogled after Yu Tian. What if her interest in him woke up again?

“I,” Gu Layue went into deep thought. That was correct. She had come around too late. What new information could she offer? She gulped down her tea before she made a decision.

“I will get Gu Jiujiu out of the accusation of murder of that thug. I met her on the campus. I have all the proofs that it was a scheme by Yu Rong to put you in trouble,” she said, a vague determination shining in her eyes.

“But if retrial for that case happens, you would become a prime suspect too.”

“But I am not the criminal,” Gu Layue smiled confidently. The actual murderer was dead.

“Very well. We will take the deal. However, I cannot save your family if they are involved in any illegal trade or anything,” Mei Qingyang gave her word. Gu Layue nodded. She knew her parents could not really avoid the responsibility for the deeds they had done in collaboration with Yu Rong. But a lighter punishment would be great.

“Are you giving up on chasing after my fianc Ms. Gu?” Mei Qingyang asked her last question. She raised her eyes from the cup of tea in her hands to look straight at the Gu girl who was taken aback by the direct question.

Gu Layue put down the porcelain cup in her hands gently on the table and smiled. “I had already heard a few rumors about Yu Tian and Yu Rong. I don’t think I have as much courage as you to accept the whole truth just like this. So, I would just say you both are a match made in heaven?”

Mei Qingyang nodded with her poker face. She neither smiled nor frowned. She only rejoiced in her heart at gaining another ally.

“Young miss, I have brought a few more people to testify,” Fangyan had requested an audience with Mei Qingyang and was finally granted permission to see her former mistress.

“Oh?” Mei Qingyang fiddled with her hair while Fangyan just stood at the side.

“Good work. You may leave,” she picked up the doc.u.ments on the table with list of people and their testimony. Fangyan was thorough after all.

“Miss,” Fangyan’s voice shook a bit. “Could you could you please give me chance to come back and serve you?”

Mei Qingyang glanced at Fangyan who had ambition to climb the social ladder all over her face.

“Do you think this is enough to prove your loyalty to me? Are you unhappy in Feng residence?” she asked.

“I I just miss you,” Fangyan replied tenderly, her eyes glistening with tears.

Qingyang’s lips curled up in a slight smile. This girl had learnt the acting she should have learnt all those years ago.

“I am sorry, once a dog leaves their owner and becomes loyal to someone else, no one knows where their loyalty lies after that,” Mei Qingyang yawned a bit. She was uninterested in any more drama in her life.

Fangyan went down on her knees. “Please miss, please do not abandon me. Now I know it’s you, I just want to be with you and serve by your side. I do not have nay grievances there, but,” she finally started crying.

Well, Mei Qingyang’s heart did move a little bit but she was still not sure about this girl. Should she give her a chance?

“You are a maid at Feng residence now. I will talk to Feng Yue but I make no promises, so don’t keep your hopes up, okay?” Mei Qingyang gave in. She knew Feng Yue would not agree to it anyway.

“Thank you so much miss! I will take my leave now!!” breaking out in a smile, Fangyan left excitedly.

Well, at least she gained more witnesses and proofs against Yu Rong in one day. That witch was definitely going down this time.
