“Mom, that woman is incredibly cunning. Even someone like Jing Chenxi is willing to work for her. What should we do?” Shen Mei was both anxious and distressed, tears streaming down her face.
Lan Feiyun’s face was gloomy as she paced back and forth in the living room.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
With a stern expression, Lan Feiyun opened the door.
“Auntie, hello,” Wu Lili appeared at the doorstep.
“Lili, it’s late. Do you need something?” Lan Feiyun was quite surprised.
Wu Lili smiled, “Yes, Auntie, 1 do have an urgent matter to discuss with Mei Mei.”
“Oh, then come in.” Lan Feiyun let her in.
As soon as Wu Lili entered, she saw Shen Mei in the living room, her eyes swollen and red from crying.
She inwardly sneered. This mother-daughter pair usually held themselves in high regard, but now they were being dealt a blow by Shen Ning. It served them right!
“Mei Mei, don’t lose heart, don’t let that vile woman Shen Ning defeat you,” she sat down and pretended to console.
“Lili, I won’t give you that one million. Look at how miserable I am now, and you still want money?” Shen Mei immediately assumed she had come to ask for the one million and responded coldly.
Wu Lili raised an eyebrow and smiled, “Mei Mei, you’ve got it all wrong. I’m here to help you.”
“Just you?”
“It seems you’re ungrateful. Fine, I’ll leave then.” She pretended to be angry and stood up to leave.
Lan Feiyun, feeling helpless, looked at her with a confident smile. She saw an opportunity in Wu Lili’s self-assured demeanor and reached out to stop her. She smiled warmly, “Lili, Mei Mei is in a bad mood. Don’t argue with her.” “Auntie, you’re always reasonable,” Wu Lili sat back down. Once seated, she leaned closer and spoke in a hushed, mysterious tone, “Auntie, 1 have some top-secret information to share with you, but you’ll have to give me a little something. You should know that I’m facing financial difficulties right now. Last month, my useless husband’s investment failed again… I’m really in a bind.”
Wu Lili intentionally looked troubled.
In reality, she believed the perfect opportunity had arrived.
Lan Feiyun and her daughter were currently in dire straits, and they were sure to act desperately.
“What secret?” Lan Feiyun’s eyes lit up.
“Auntie, 1 can guarantee that if you use this information wisely, Shen Ning will immediately fall in line. Defeating her will just be a matter of time,” Wu Lili was extremely confident, “but…”
She didn’t finish her sentence.
Lan Feiyun understood and immediately got up to go to the study to write a check.
“Mom, don’t let her deceive you. All she cares about is money,” Shen Mei followed her, not hiding her displeasure.
“Mei Mei, people who love money are the easiest to manipulate,” Lan Feiyun patted her shoulder, returned with a check for twenty million.
Wu Lili took the check, her eyes sparkling.
“Auntie, let me tell you, Shen Ning has two children, and one of them is a boy named Coco, about five years old, and he looks exactly like Li Zhenting,” she spoke each word deliberately.
“What?” It was like a bomb had been thrown into the living room. Both Lan Feiyun and Shen Mei jumped up.
Wu Lili proceeded to embellish the story with every detail she had witnessed that day.
Lan Feiyun and Shen Mei listened in shock.
Wu Lili left with the check, satisfied with herself.
Li Zhenting and Coco were like two peas in a pod. If they didn’t act quickly and reap the benefits from Shen Mei, as soon as Coco appeared in the public eye, their secret wouldn’t remain a secret for long. That was why she had rushed over tonight, seizing the opportune moment.
Lan Feiyun and her daughter had malicious hearts. Upon learning that Shen Ning had another child, especially Li Zhenting’s child… they wouldn’t let it go easily.
Hehe, the show was about to begin!
She laughed heartily while holding the check..
