Chapter 361: Chapter 361
Ye Ling gazed mockingly at Wu Mengyi. She knew Wu Mengyi’s face and mouth were ugly, but Ye Ling had never messed with Liu Zhiyuan in her life. Now she was being accused of flirting with him, and Ye Ling wouldn’t let this pass.
She tossed what was in her hands onto the bed and said coldly, "How did I flirt with Liu Zhiyuan? Let’s make things clear today. Don’t think that I’m scared of the Liu Family’s power. I’ll take this matter to the courtyard and let everyone have their say. I won’t carry this kind of reputation."
"What if you take it to the courtyard? Do you really think I’m afraid?" Wu Mengyi looked Ye Ling up and down with disdain. "If you haven’t done it, would Zhiyuan help you? Didn’t you silently flirt with Xiang Weilai? Why can’t you flirt with two if you can flirt with one?"
"What’s flirting? When I was with Xiang Weilai, he was still single. But what about your Liu Family stealing a man from others for your daughter? Is there something wrong that you need to steal from others? Or do you think that anything others choose is desirable?"
"Ye Ling, what are you saying?" When Wu Mengyi heard her daughter being brought up, she immediately got angry and interrupted Ye Ling.
Ye Ling remained calm, "See, you don’t like it when others talk about your daughter. So how can you stick that kind of reputation on someone else’s daughter? You claim to be someone with status, and someone with status should not act this way. Yet you say this kind of thing; you can’t control your son and keep blaming others—is this what your Liu Family does? You think I’m unreasonable, but you sent my mom away even though you know she would never stand by me because of Ye Qian. Why did you send her away? Out of fear of showing your true colors?"
"Oh, I get it; maybe because you know you’re being unreasonable, have no evidence, and feel upset when you see your son support me, so you sent her away to assert some dominance? Enjoy being high and mighty?" Ye Ling spoke quickly but clearly, stringing her words together without giving Wu Mengyi a chance to speak. By the time she finished, Wu Mengyi’s face had turned pale with anger.
Her body trembled uncontrollably as she raised her hand to point at Ye Ling, "Fine, you’ve done shameless things, and now you’re rightfully defending yourself. I don’t believe you didn’t flirt with my Zhiyuan; he wouldn’t enthusiastically approach you otherwise. It takes two to tango." Newest update provided by NoveI[F]ire.net
"Your Liu Family’s act of stealing a fiancé doesn’t make anyone else look envious or attractive. Others may not know about me and Xiang Weilai, but everyone in the courtyard knows your Liu Family used the Xiang Family’s issue to set up the engagement. Just this act alone, who would look up to your family? I’d rather keep my distance; even a fool wouldn’t approach." Ye Ling wasn’t angry at all; she actually felt satisfied, remembering how Wu Mengyi pointed and cursed at her in her previous life, when she could only bow her head and take it.
Now, the tables have turned, living a new life, she could defend herself with pride and dignity, no longer feeling inferior. Such feelings made Ye Ling feel great.
"Still can’t let go of Xiang Weilai? I knew you were , but don’t be smug. Our Liu Family can make the Xiang Family willingly marry my daughter. No matter how dissatisfied you are, it’s your parents’ lack of ability. My daughter excels because she has good parents who can help her achieve anything she wants." Wu Mengyi spoke, feeling quite smug. "I figured you wouldn’t let go of the Xiang Weilai matter and would try to provoke my Zhiyuan to seek revenge on our Liu Family? Attempting to ruin the mother-son relationship? Give up on that idea. You’ve worked hard to get into college; don’t let something you shouldn’t do affect your life."
Is this another threat about the job? Does the Liu Family really think their influence works everywhere?
Ye Ling mocked, "Hasn’t your Liu Family already acted? Sending me to a remote place, don’t think that the things your Liu Family does are unknown to outsiders."
Wu Mengyi’s expression changed.
Ye Ling continued to add fuel, "The Xiang Family received someone’s money and eventually claimed the other defamed them. It’s unknown if the things your Liu Family did being exposed would be taken as slander."
"Don’t think there’s truly a wall that can’t be penetrated by wind." Ye Ling added one last line.
Wu Mengyi was indeed shocked by Ye Ling’s words. The Ye Family was no longer in the company, yet Ye Ling was able to know about job distribution matters, indicating someone must have told her. Considering who the Ye Family had been in contact with, Wu Mengyi felt those people weren’t qualified to know these things. Only one person knew, and that was Shen Bin.
Currently in the company, Shen Bin was valued and liked by the leadership. The Ye Family had encountered several issues that Shen Bin helped resolve.
Thinking of this, Wu Mengyi scrutinized Ye Ling disdainfully before laughing aloud, "Oh, that explains it, speaking so confidently because you have backing from Shen Bin. But he’s just a rising star; even knowing some things doesn’t mean he can help much. Back then, your family tried to curry favor with the higher-ups by arranging for your cousin to go on a blind date with Shen Bin, but he wasn’t interested. I recently heard some rumors; could they be true?"
She spoke with an eye as if inspecting Ye Ling without clothes.
Ye Ling felt Wu Mengyi was clever but unfortunately too malicious and narrow-minded, never achieving anything significant. "So what if it’s true? You’re the one who first said I had ties with Shen Bin but then claimed I was with your Liu Zhiyuan. Aren’t you contradicting yourself?"
"True, I was being one-track-minded. Shen Bin may be from a rural background and divorced, but he’s hard-working in the company and fits with you." Wu Mengyi was not praising at all, merely highlighting Shen Bin’s shortcomings.
In the past life, Ye Ling would have been angered by Wu Mengyi’s words. She indeed felt Shen Bin wasn’t good, but things are different now; Wu Mengyi’s intentions were in vain. "Yes, divorced, but now he knows how to cherish people. The first time he didn’t understand, but the second time he does. Coming from the countryside is great; he can endure hardship. Unlike those who’ve stayed in the city for a few years, acting hastily in everything, lacking stability. He’s studied in school and is a rising star in the company; his future is limitless. I’m the one who doesn’t match him, but thank you for elevating me." (To be continued. If you work, feel free to vote for it on Qidian (qidian.com), your support is my greatest motivation.
