The ancient war between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in a wealthy family

The fawning smile on Zhou Yuanfang's relative's face made me feel sick.

She held Madam Li's hand, looking like a loving sister, and spoke in a voice neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for the people around to hear: "Madam Li, you really have a kind heart, forgiving Miss Bai so easily. You don't know, some people are very scheming, saying one thing in front of others and another behind their backs..." She paused deliberately, her eyes drifted towards me, and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

I saw Mrs. Li's expression change, and her attitude, which had originally softened, began to waver again.

Several noble ladies around also began to whisper to each other.

A nameless anger rose from the bottom of my heart. This woman is really a cockroach. She can't be killed!

I was about to go up and argue with her, but was stopped by Zhan Yu.

He shook his head slightly, signaling me to stay calm.

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

Instead of confronting her head-on, it is better to cut off her source of support and directly cut off her escape route.

I walked straight towards Madam Li with a sincere smile on my face. "Madam Li, I think there are some things you may not understand." I took out a file bag from my handbag and handed it to her. "This is some of the 'good things' that Madam Zhou has done before. I think after reading this, you should have a new understanding of certain people."

Mrs. Li took the file bag suspiciously, opened it and her face turned pale instantly.

It contains evidence I collected of Zhou Yuanfang's relatives spreading rumors and sowing discord, and even records of her participation in some illegal fundraising.

The more she looked, the uglier her expression became. Finally, she raised her head abruptly and glared at Zhou Yuanfang's relative: "You...you actually lied to me!"

Zhou Yuanfang's relative's face changed drastically and he was speechless.

Mrs. Li threw the file bag in her face, pointed at her nose and cursed, "People like you are the scum of society! I was so blind to believe your nonsense!" She turned around, took my hand, and said with a guilty look on her face, "Miss Bai, I'm sorry, I wronged you. Please forgive me."

I smiled faintly and patted her hand. "It is a great honor to admit your mistakes and then improve. Madam Li, there is no need to blame yourself."

I glanced at my distant relative Zhou, whose face was ashen, and turned around to leave this place of trouble.

But at this moment, I saw a sneaky figure flash in from the door of the banquet hall...

He was holding a camera in his hand, his eyes flickering. It was none other than the Wu tabloid reporter who had previously reported false news about me.

He walked straight towards Zhou's distant relative...

I was startled, it seemed the best was yet to come.

Zhan Yu held my hand tightly and whispered, "Don't worry, I'm here."

I turned to look at him and gave him a firm look.

"let's go."

I watched as reporter Wu from the tabloid walked stealthily towards Zhou Yuanfang's relative. His wretched look made me sneer.

These two people together are really a nest of snakes and rats.

Zhou Yuanfang's relative grabbed Wu Xiaobao's reporter and whispered a few words in his ear, his eyes full of resentment and calculation.

It's obvious that this woman is up to something bad again, and wants to use the pen of reporter Wu to discredit me again.

I held Zhan Yu's hand tightly, secretly thinking about how to respond.

Suddenly, reporter Wu Xiaobao's cell phone rang.

He picked up the phone, his face turned pale instantly, and his original arrogance was extinguished in an instant.

He nodded timidly into the phone, and from time to time he would steal a glance at me, his eyes full of fear.

After hanging up the phone, he ran out crawling as if he had seen a ghost, without even saying hello to Zhou Yuanfang's relatives.

Zhou Yuanfang's relatives looked at the fleeing Wu Xiaobao reporter with a bewildered look on their faces, obviously not yet realizing what had happened.

I looked at her stunned expression and felt relieved.

It seems that someone solved this problem faster than me.

I walked up to Zhou Yuanfang's relative, looked down at her, and raised a mocking arc at the corner of my mouth: "It seems that your plan has failed."

Zhou Yuanfang's relative finally came to her senses. She glared at me fiercely and said through gritted teeth, "Bai Wanning, just wait for me!"

I smiled contemptuously and ignored her shouting.

This kind of clown is not worth wasting my time at all.

I took Zhan Yu's hand and turned around to leave this smoky banquet hall.

Zhan Yu patted my hand gently and whispered, "It seems that someone is helping us in secret."

I nodded, my heart full of doubts.

Who is it that is silently protecting me behind the scenes?

Just then, my phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number...

I answered the phone, and a deep male voice came from the other end: "Ms. Bai, hello, I'm the person in charge of the Wang Charity Project..."

As I listened to Wang, the head of the charity project, talking about the so-called "charity project", I sneered in my heart.

This is clearly a scam, and Zhou Yuanfang's relatives are accomplices in this scam.

I pretended to agree to cooperate and said that I would arrange a charity dinner as soon as possible and invite celebrities in the city to attend.

After hanging up the phone, I immediately contacted my friend Sun and asked him to help investigate this so-called "charity project."

As expected, this project was completely fictitious and the person in charge, Wang, had a long history of bad deeds.

I decided to take advantage of the situation and held a large charity event at the social club, inviting many people from the social circle to attend, including Mrs. Li and her circle of wealthy friends.

At the event, I tearfully recounted my experiences during this period and how I was maliciously slandered by Zhou Yuanfang's relatives and Wu Xiaobao reporter.

I produced all the evidence, including records of Zhou Yuanfang's relatives' participation in illegal fundraising, and the charity project documents forged by Director Wang.

My sincerity and honesty touched everyone present, and they all expressed their admiration and support for me.

Mrs. Li even apologized to me in public and said that she would never believe rumors again.

When Zhou Yuanfang's relative saw that his conspiracy had failed again, his face turned pale and he looked like a deflated ball.

Her friends also began to avoid her, fearing that they would be implicated by her.

Her reputation in the social circle was completely ruined and no one wanted to associate with her anymore.

Looking at the miserable appearance of Zhou Yuanfang's relatives, I felt relieved.

But I know it's not over yet.

Although my reputation has basically been restored, I always feel that there are some potential threats. I don’t know if there are still hidden enemies in the dark, which makes me dare not let my guard down.

Zhan Yu held my hand tightly and gave me a reassuring look.

"Don't worry," he whispered, "I'll always be with you."

I nodded, but I felt a little uneasy.

At this moment, my phone vibrated again...

An unknown number.

I hesitated for a moment, then answered the phone.

"Miss Bai," a gloomy voice came from the other end of the phone, "Do you think you've won just like that? The game has only just begun..."

The phone was suddenly hung up, leaving behind a string of creepy busy tones...

I suddenly turned my head and looked out the window. The Zhan family's old house looked particularly gloomy in the night...
