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

Zhan Yu’s intuition has always been accurate, and his concerns also made me alert.

I carefully put the wooden box containing the porcelain pillow into the briefcase I brought with me, locked it, and held it tightly in my arms.

"It's better to be safe than sorry," I said. "We'd better be careful."

After leaving the exhibition hall, I immediately contacted the security company and sent additional personnel to conduct a thorough inspection of the entire venue before the exhibition began to ensure that there were no safety hazards.

I also specifically instructed them to pay special attention to the surveillance equipment and the areas around the exhibits to prevent malicious damage.

After arranging these, I felt a little relieved, but the solemnity on Zhan Yu's face did not diminish at all.

"I don't think Molly will give up." He said in a deep voice, with a hint of coldness in his tone.

I sighed. Molly, this name is like an lingering shadow that always hangs over us.

She is so obsessed with Zhan Yu that she would do anything to get him.

During this period of time, I have been feeling uneasy, like a tightly stretched string that may break at any time.

Just then, my cell phone rang. It was my best friend Xiaoya calling.

"Have you heard?" Xiaoya's voice was filled with anxiety. "The rumor is that your exhibition is doomed!"

My heart sank. Molly had indeed taken action. "What's going on?" I asked calmly.

"Someone is spreading rumors, saying that your exhibits are all fakes, and that accidents will happen at the exhibition. We advise everyone not to go." Xiaoya's voice became lower and lower, and it was obvious that she was also affected by these rumors.

I took a deep breath and tried to stay calm. "Don't worry, these are just rumors. I'll take care of it."

After hanging up the phone, I looked at Zhan Yu. His face was terribly gloomy.

"It seems we underestimated Molly's despicableness," he said coldly, a glint of ruthlessness in his eyes. "She wants to completely destroy us." He took out his phone and dialed a number. "Hello, it's me... Help me find out who's been spreading rumors about the exhibition recently..."

He put down the phone, held my hand, and said firmly, "Don't worry, I will protect you and our exhibition."

His hands, broad and warm, gave me great strength.

I nodded, looked out the window at the gradually darkening sky, and prayed silently in my heart, hoping that everything would go smoothly.

At this time, Zhan Yu's assistant hurried in, his face pale and his tone hurried: "Mr. Zhan, it's not good..."

"Mr. Zhan, the circuit in the exhibition hall... seems to have been tampered with!" The assistant's voice was trembling, almost crying.

My blood froze. What was Molly trying to do? Was she trying to start a fire? This woman was completely crazy!

Zhan Yu grabbed his assistant's shoulders and asked sternly, "What's going on? Explain it clearly!"

The assistant stammered as he explained the situation. It turned out that during a routine inspection, he discovered that several key circuits in the exhibition hall had been tampered with. If powered on, it would likely cause a short circuit or even a fire.

I gasped. Fortunately, I discovered it in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

Zhan Yu immediately arranged for personnel to carry out emergency repairs and strengthened security measures in the entire exhibition hall.

At the same time, he began to address the rumors.

As the young master of the Zhan family, he made a public statement to assure everyone of the quality of the exhibition and promised to hold those who spread rumors accountable.

Zhan Yu’s influence in the industry cannot be underestimated. Once his statement came out, many people who were originally on the sidelines began to believe in the exhibition again.

Watching Zhan Yu handle all this with such swift and decisiveness, my heart is filled with gratitude and admiration.

This man always gives me support and strength at critical moments.

However, the story does not end there.

My gut tells me that Molly won't give up so easily.

I always feel like something is wrong, like the calm before the storm, which makes people feel depressed and uneasy.

I began to think carefully. Besides spreading rumors, what other methods would Molly use to sabotage the exhibition?

Suddenly, a thought flashed through my mind: competitors!

They have always regarded Zhan Yu as a thorn in their side, and this exhibition is also a huge threat to them.

If Molly joins forces with them, the consequences will be disastrous.

I immediately contacted several senior journalist friends in the industry and tried to find out the information indirectly.

Sure enough, I got some disturbing news: employees from a competing company had been seen lurking around the trade show, and their behavior was quite suspicious.

It seems that my guess was correct, and the competitors have indeed joined in.

They might arrange for people to create chaos at the exhibition, disrupt the order of the exhibition, or even...

I stood up suddenly and said to Zhan Yu, "We must prepare for the worst..." My voice was low and firm.

"We must prepare for the worst," I repeated firmly. "Molly and those competitors will never give up." A hint of coldness flashed in Zhan Yu's deep eyes. He squeezed my hand and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, I won't let them succeed."

I took a deep breath and began to deploy my plan.

"Acheng, take a few people to guard the entrance of the exhibition hall and strictly check every person entering. Don't let any suspicious people get in." Acheng is my confidant. He is safe and reliable in his work. I trust him very much.

"Xiao Liu, you are responsible for monitoring every corner inside the exhibition hall. If you find any abnormal situation, report to me immediately." Xiao Liu is quick-witted and has strong observation skills, making him the best candidate for monitoring.

I arranged people I trusted to be in every corner of the exhibition, ready to deal with any emergencies that might arise.

I also specifically instructed the security guards to step up patrols to ensure the absolute safety of the exhibition.

Having made these arrangements, I did not let my guard down.

I know that Molly and her competitors must have some tricks up their sleeves.

I have to find a way to make them lose their composure and leave them with no recourse.

An idea suddenly popped into my mind.

I immediately contacted the publicity team and asked them to reveal some information about the mysterious exhibits in the exhibition promotion and describe them as extremely precious and rare in order to attract more people's attention.

As soon as this news was released, it caused a huge sensation.

Major media outlets rushed to report on it, industry insiders were discussing it, and even some people who were originally not interested in the exhibition began to pay attention.

I know that this move will definitely stimulate Molly and her competitors and make them even more uneasy.

Looking at the overwhelming discussions on the Internet, the corners of my mouth curled up slightly.

Wanna see a joke?

I won't let you have your wish.

I want you to know that the Zhan family is not to be trifled with.

"Madam, the exhibition is about to begin..." Acheng walked to my side and whispered.

I nodded and looked towards the entrance of the exhibition hall, a barely perceptible cold light flashed across my eyes.

Molly, I know you're nearby. I want to see what other tricks you have up your sleeve...

Zhan Yu walked over to me, gently held my hand, and gave me a reassuring look.

"Don't worry," his low voice sounded in my ears, "everything is under control." I forced a smile, but the uneasiness in my heart lingered.

Molly is not someone who gives up easily. Since she is here, she must have some plan.

I always feel that this exhibition will not be so peaceful.

"Madam, Miss Mo is here." Ah Cheng's voice broke the brief silence. I followed his gaze and saw Molly in a red dress and very high heels, walking towards us aggressively.

She was followed by two assistants, holding exquisite gift boxes in their hands, as if they were here to congratulate me, but I could clearly see a barely perceptible hint of pride in her eyes.

"Zhan Yu, long time no see." Molly walked in front of us and stopped. Her voice was so sweet that it was a little harsh.

I noticed that she intentionally or unintentionally put her hand on Zhan Yu's arm, but he avoided it calmly.

"Ms. Mo, long time no see." Zhan Yu said in a cold tone, with no intention of reminiscing about the past.

Molly didn't seem to care about his indifference. Instead, she introduced the gift she brought more enthusiastically: "This is a gift I specially prepared for your exhibition. I wish you all the best." As she said that, she handed the gift box to the assistant beside Zhan Yu.

I looked at the beautifully wrapped gift box, and alarm bells went off. Unsolicited attentions are either a traitor or a thief. I wouldn't accept anything Molly sent me lightly.

"Thank you for your concern, Miss Mo," I said before Zhan Yu could speak, "but our exhibition is already ready, so you don't have to worry about it." As I said that, I gestured to Acheng to return the gift.

Molly's expression changed slightly, but she quickly returned to her smile.

"Miss Bai, what are you talking about? It's just a small token of my appreciation. Why would you reject me so harshly?"

I was about to open my mouth to refute when I suddenly caught a glimpse of another gift box in the hands of Molly's assistant behind her. It had the logo of a well-known brand printed on it.

A thought flashed through my mind, and a bold idea instantly took shape.

I smiled faintly and said to Molly, "Since Miss Mo is so kind, we would be remiss not to accept it." I took the gift box from Ah Cheng, turned around and handed it to another assistant, and instructed, "Deliver this to the center of the exhibition hall and say it's a special gift from Miss Mo."

Molly's expression instantly turned ugly, but she quickly concealed it and said with a forced smile, "Miss Bai is really good at this."

I looked at her, and a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of my mouth. Molly, this is just the beginning... I turned to Zhan Yu and whispered, "Keep an eye on her."
