When we returned to the Zhan family, Zhan Yu's gaze enveloped me like warm honey. He held me in his arms. I could feel the rise and fall of his chest, and his strong heartbeat hitting my eardrums, as if declaring his love.

"My wife, you make me so proud." His deep voice echoed in my ears, and every word was like a pebble, causing ripples in the lake of my heart.

I buried my face in his chest, greedily breathing in his unique and refreshing scent, and an unprecedented sweetness and peace of mind surged in my heart.

This incident made me even more certain that he is my only support in this life.

The next day, I browsed the social platform as usual and found that although the ugly faces of Zhou Yuanfang's relatives had been exposed, there were still some people talking about me in private, saying that I was cruel and unscrupulous.

Although there were no blatant attacks and insults like before, these rumors were like tiny mosquitoes and flies, buzzing and disturbing people's peace.

It seems that there is still a long way to go before its reputation is fully restored.

I turned off my phone in annoyance, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked at the roses blooming in the Zhan family garden, but I couldn't smell their fragrance at all.

At this time, my friend Sun called...

"You'd never guess that Wu Xiaobao reporter..." His tone was mysterious, with a hint of excitement.

"You'll never guess that Wu Xiaobao reporter..." Sun's voice came from the other end of the phone, with a hint of suppressed excitement.

I raised my eyebrows and motioned for him to continue.

"That guy has been warned by the newspaper! I heard that he did not hesitate to make up lies to attract attention. Now that the truth has been exposed, his reputation in the news industry has been ruined. It is estimated that it will be difficult for him to find a job in the future!" As I listened, the corners of my mouth could not help but rise slightly, and my mood became brighter.

It is true that evildoers will be punished by God. The retribution for reporter Wu Xiaobao came so quickly!

I was immersed in joy when my friend Sun's tone became serious again.

"However, Lady Li seems uneasy. I heard that she's unwilling to accept the failure of her previous boycott of you, and now she's speaking ill of you within her inner circle of ladies, trying to stir up trouble again." He paused, a hint of worry in his tone, "Some ladies who don't know the truth seem to be wavering again..."

My hand holding the phone tightened involuntarily, and a surge of anger rose from the bottom of my heart.

This Lady Li is really haunting me!

I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down.

I won't let her succeed!

I was just about to ask my friend Sun for more details when I suddenly heard footsteps outside the door, followed by a gentle knock.

"Knock, knock, knock..." After three knocks on the door, a familiar voice sounded, "Madam, there is a Mr. Wang downstairs who says he is the person in charge of a charity project and wants to see you." I didn't go directly to Mrs. Li to argue.

I didn't go directly to find Madam Li to argue, but turned to my friend Sun and said, "Do me a favor and invite all the ladies in the city to participate in a charity event, especially Madam Li and her small circle, no one can be left out." A barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of my mouth. When dealing with this kind of person, a head-on confrontation will only make her more proud. I want to make her lose miserably without her knowing it.

Sun was very efficient. Three days later, a charity event with the theme of "Caring for Poor Children" was held in the hotel owned by the Zhan family.

I dressed up carefully, wearing an elegant white long dress that highlighted my noble temperament.

I walked slowly towards the banquet hall with an elegant smile on my face, as if this event was really just for charity.

As expected, Lady Li also came. She was dressed in jewels and surrounded by several ladies who were as heavily made-up as she was. They were pointing at me and whispering to each other.

I pretended not to see it and walked straight to the person in charge of Wang's charity project and started discussing the details of the project with him. In fact, I was quietly guiding him to inadvertently reveal to those ladies the evidence of his previous fraudulent accounting and embezzlement.

As expected, these ladies are all very smart and can understand things at a glance.

They were originally skeptical about my actions, but after hearing the "confession" of Wang, the person in charge of the charity project, their faces changed.

Mrs. Li's face turned even paler. She never thought that I had tricked her.

After the event, many ladies came up to me and sincerely apologized to me, saying that they had wronged me before.

My support rate in social circles has increased significantly, and I feel that I am one step closer to completely restoring my reputation.

In the evening, Zhan Yu prepared a romantic dinner for me.

The flickering candlelight illuminated his deep eyes.

He raised his glass and said affectionately, "My wife, you are my eternal pride." I responded with a sweet smile and clinked glasses with him.

At this moment, I seemed to see our bright future, and waves of happiness surrounded me.

We hugged each other and kissed. His kiss was hot and gentle, and I was intoxicated by it.

"Knock knock knock..." A knock on the door broke the silence of the night.
