Xia Jingyi saw this and immediately let go of Zheng Tong, walked quickly to Zhu Mengli, and affectionately linked her arm, saying, "Aunt Zhu, you've come at the perfect time. Xie Yifei is trying to seduce Zheng Tong again and is slandering me everywhere."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Mengli's gaze sharply swept over Xie Yifei, and she sneered, "Xie Yifei, you are a reputable television host, how can you be so shameless?
Zheng Tong has already broken up with you. Jingyi is his legitimate girlfriend. I advise you not to be a toad lusting after swan meat and to not harbor such unrealistic fantasies."
"Hahaha!" Hearing this, Xie Yifei clenched her fists in anger and laughed heartily, "Who is the toad? Who is the swan meat? Look in the mirror before you speak."
"My son is of course swan meat. You, a woman from a poor county who has never seen the world, are naturally a toad. Do you still dream of being the young mistress of the Zheng family?
As long as I am here, that will never become a reality; it will only remain a dream." Zhu Mengli looked down on her with a condescending air.
"What did you say?" Jian Fan immediately stepped forward upon hearing this, his gaze coldly narrowing at her, "Apologize now."
This old woman is truly detestable. How could she say such things about Yifei?
In his eyes, those two comparisons should be reversed.
"Who are you? Where did this brat come from to dare speak to me like this? Go take a piss and look at yourself to see who you are." Zhu Mengli, though dressed elegantly and nobly, spoke with such vulgarity.
This sentence clearly provoked Jian Fan. Just as he was about to attack her, Shen Xi called out to him, chuckling, "So this is how Mrs. Zheng usually talks. Are you acting old to show off, or is this your true colors? I really can't see where you are nobler than others.
Comparing your son to swan meat is truly amusing. But I must say you are a bit like a frog in a well, conceited and self-important."
These few seemingly gentle words were filled with mockery, like an invisible sharp knife, directly piercing Zhu Mengli's heart.
She stared at her, stunned, unable to utter a word for a moment.
In a private room on the fifth floor, Qin Siye was drinking and chatting with several business magnates, but he was restless and spoke little.
Unable to bear his worry, he got up and went outside the door to ask Zhao Ze, "What's the situation on the third floor now?"
"The bodyguards just reported that Miss Shen and her two companions are having a dispute with the second young lady of the Xia family in the corridor. They are maintaining the upper hand," Zhao Ze replied with a smile at the corner of his lips.
"Oh. That's good." Qin Siye breathed a sigh of relief.
As he had expected, they went to get revenge on Xia Jingyi.
Thinking back to what happened at the GeTai Hotel that night, he had also participated in helping them capture the man with ill intentions and uncover the mastermind.
However, at this moment, he could only watch them from afar, and a sense of loss arose in his heart.
Zhao Ze saw him lost in thought, wondering what was on his mind. He had some bad news and was hesitating whether to tell him or not.
After a long while, he still decided to speak, "But, not far from them, there are two men in black who have been acting suspiciously, and they keep glancing towards them. I don't know what they are planning?"
"Oh?" Qin Siye's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this. His gaze became stern as he looked at him, "Have the bodyguards keep a close eye on those two. Absolutely do not let them get close."
In the third-floor corridor, Zheng Tong was so ashamed by the verbal sparring of the group just now that his face turned red, then pale, and he just wanted to find a hole to hide in.
At this moment, Xie Yifei bent down, picked up a few scattered photos from the ground, looked at Zhu Mengli, and a mocking smile appeared on her lips.
"Back then, it was because you saw that I was from a county town with no strong family background that you forced your son to break up with me, wasn't it?
In your eyes, money is the most important thing.
But today, I regret to inform you that the woman you meticulously chose for him not only comes from a fallen family but has also been unfaithful to him many times."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Mengli felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Her hands trembled as she snatched the photos from Xie Yifei's hand. She looked at them closely, then glanced at the ground, and raised her hand to slap Xia Jingyi hard.
"Xia Jingyi, you shameless woman, to be able to do such a thing. You have disgraced our Zheng family."
