After saying her piece, Mi Nuo took her bag and strode off.
Her silhouette strong and proud, it had the aura of a person who had the lives of others in the palm of her hand.
Zhuang Nainai furrowed her brows and turned to look at Li Yufeng. “What does she have that she can use against you?”
Was it because of this that Li Yufeng felt obliged to help Mi Nuo?
If that was the case, then everything would be answered.
Li Yufeng pursed her lips tightly as she heard this. It was a few moments before she answered, “Zhuang Nainai, please don’t respond to the stuff on Weibo, okay? If not, the Gu family and the Si family will both lose their reputations!”
“Why? What exactly did you do for her to be able to threaten you like that?”
Li Yufeng took a deep breath. “It’s all stuff that happened when I was younger… Why are you trying to find out all about it? Gu Qingyan, let me just leave you with this: if you still think that you’re a daughter of the Gu family, as well as the daughter-in-law of the Si family, then please sacrifice your reputation for the sake of these two families! In any case, this issue will die down after a while, and nobody will be bothered as to whether you really committed plagiarism or not.”
Zhuang Nainai felt that what she had just heard was hilarious. But just before she could reply, Si Zhengting spoke. “The Si family doesn’t need to ruin a lady’s name in order to protect its reputation. The Si family also isn’t afraid to reveal anything to the public as we have nothing to hide.”
With that, Si Zhengting took a step forward and stared at Li Yufeng. “Also, if you’re not willing to let us in on whatever secrets the Gu family has, I think I’ll directly ask… Mr. Gu.”
He had called Gu Deshou by name in the past, but now that Zhuang Nainai had changed her view of him, Si Zhengting was now careful to address him as Mr. Gu.
Li Yufeng narrowed her eyes as she heard this. A few moments later, she sat down. “Gu Qingyan, will you only be satisfied after you’ve forced me to my death?! Your dad’s gone overseas to find that b***h of a mistress! He doesn’t come home, let alone come back for the New Year!”
A mistress again?
Now it was Zhuang Nainai’s turn to narrow her eyes. “My mother isn’t a mistress! You know very well who the mistress in this whole matter is! Li Yufeng, are you still unwilling to admit that it was you who stole from someone else?”
The moment she said this, Li Yufeng’s eyes grew wide. “Even you know about it too?”
Know about it too?
“Who else knows about this?” Zhuang Nainai asked, then vehemently realized… “So, the thing that Mi Nuo threatened you about was this?”
In an instant, Li Yufeng’s head drooped. Her silence was a form of admission.
Zhuang Nainai knitted her brows. “Li Yufeng, you…”
“Yes, I was ruthless and willing to do anything to get ahead in the past! I chased Gu Deshou’s girlfriend away in the past, but didn’t the two of them still get married in the end? So, I’m not considered a third party! I’m not a mistress! Don’t slander me like that!”
Zhuang Nainai had no idea what to say about her line of logic.
But she was now suddenly a little muddled after hearing Li Yufeng’s words.
In a matter like this, was Li Yufeng the one at fault? Or was it someone else’s fault?
It was reminiscent of Si Jingyu’s case: from the way she and Bai Yue spoke previously, it seemed that she was the one who had thrust herself in between Bai Yue and Shi Jinyan, causing the two of them to break up. Now that Bai Yue was back, was Bai Yue considered a mistress or not?
In the time that Zhuang Nainai let her thoughts wander, Li Yufeng had already taken a deep breath and said, “Whatever it is, I’m the one who’s now legally married to your father, and our union is protected by law! But what I want to remind you of is this: if this is exposed, not only will my reputation be affected, but think about how the public will judge you! Will you be seen as a mere tool for status advancement? Or will you be seen as the love child by a mistress?”
