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

The anonymous letter was like a poisonous apple, silently corroding everything around me.

At first, they were some groundless rumors, which later escalated into sensational headlines in tabloids such as "The shocking secret of the rich family's wife" and "Business woman enjoys the shade under the big tree".

Illustrations?

Haha, of course it’s that carefully edited, blurry but suggestive photo.

I felt like I had fallen into a huge whirlpool. No matter how hard I struggled, I couldn't escape the overwhelming negative news.

I took the newspaper to find Zhan Yu. He believed me, but he couldn't stand the "concerned" looks and sarcastic greetings from other family members.

His grandmother even said directly: "Women, you should abide by the law." At that time, I really wanted to retort: ​​"Grandma, have you watched too many palace fighting dramas?" But I held back, took a deep breath, and told myself to stay calm.

After all, the innocent will be cleared.

But Zhan Yu didn't seem to realize the seriousness of the situation. He just comforted me a few words and ran back to the company.

As soon as he left, his sister-in-law came and took my hand hypocritically, saying, "Sister-in-law, life in a wealthy family is not easy, you can't go astray..." I replied with a forced smile, "Thank you for your concern, sister-in-law. I will pay attention to it." But I rolled my eyes in my heart: Did you graduate from the Drama Academy?

In the past few days, a subtle rift has appeared between Zhan Yu and me.

Although he said he believed me, there was a hint of inquiry and hesitation in his eyes.

I felt so upset, but I didn't know how to explain it.

Do I really have to cry and sob to prove my innocence like the heroines in those melodramatic 8 o'clock dramas?

Haha, the daughter of the Bai family would never be so cowardly!

I put down the newspaper, picked up my phone, and dialed a number: "Hello, grandson, help me check something..."

Grandson, this name may not sound nice, but his efficiency is top-notch.

In less than two days, he had investigated the matter thoroughly.

Oh my god, it turns out to be that distant relative of Zhou who always pretends to be innocent in front of me!

Jealous of my good marriage, he teamed up with a third-rate reporter named Wu Xiaobao to fabricate these "shocking news."

evidence?

Chat records, transfer records, and even recordings of their conspiracy are all here!

I sneered, humph, if the tiger doesn't show its power, do you think I'm a sick cat?

I didn't cry and defend myself like most people would, because that would only make the situation worse.

I will wait, wait for an opportunity, solve the problem once and for all, and defeat the opponent directly!

I first released some half-true and half-false news to confuse them and make them think that I was panicking and losing my composure.

Then, I made an appointment to meet Wu Xiaobao.

He was very arrogant at first, insisting that he was only "reporting based on facts" and even threatened to sue me for defamation.

I directly showed him the evidence of him taking the money, and his face turned green instantly, as if he had seen a ghost.

"Reporter Wu, let's be frank. Do you want to continue to stay in this circle or become infamous? It's your choice." I said in a cold tone, my eyes stabbing at him like a knife.

He nodded tremblingly, like a chick pecking at rice, and promised never to write false reports about me again.

Solve one, and there's another.

I picked up my phone and called Zhou's distant relative... "Hello, cousin, what have you been busy with recently? There is a charity dinner and I would like to invite you to attend..." A meaningful smile appeared on the corner of my mouth.

"Hey, cousin, what are you busy with recently? There is a charity dinner and I would like to invite you to join me..." I smiled harmlessly at the phone, but in my heart I was thinking "Today is a good day."

To deal with this level of green tea, sprinkle some water~

She really took the bait, and her tone couldn't hide her pride: "Oh, what kind of charity dinner is this? Sister, you are now the young mistress of the Zhan family. I can't even get into that circle."

"Oh, cousin, what are you talking about? We're all relatives, so it's only natural that we help each other." I continued to flatter her. "This dinner will allow you to meet many industry leaders, which will definitely be of great help to your business, cousin."

After hanging up the phone, I couldn't help but hum a little tune. "You little brat, you're too young to fight me!"

As expected, after Zhou Yuanfang's relatives learned that I had contacted Wu Xiaobao, they immediately gathered a group of fake sisters - a group of social ladies headed by Mrs. Li, and began to carry out an all-round and no-dead-angle siege on me.

They ridiculed me at various gatherings, rolling their eyes and saying weird things were their basic behaviors. They even deliberately isolated me and treated me like air.

Haha, that’s it?

I was a very influential person in school back then, so this little scene is just a small deal!

You want me to die socially?

nonexistent!

I'm not a soft persimmon that can be bullied by anyone.

I don’t have anything else but a lot of friends!

Back then, I had accumulated a lot of good character thanks to my integrity and sincerity.

Now, it’s time to reap the “fruits of my network”!

I started contacting people I had helped before, from business partners to charity workers, and even the owner of a barbecue stall where I used to eat barbecue with him. These people came forward to testify for me and prove my innocence.

The direction of public opinion began to slowly change. Seeing that the situation was not right, those ladies began to waver one by one, their eyes filled with confusion and anxiety.

Humph, this is just the beginning.

The fun is yet to come!

I looked at the number of Wang, the person in charge of the charity project, on my phone, and the corners of my mouth curled up slightly... "Mr. Wang, long time no see..."

"Mr. Wang, long time no see..." I dialed the phone, my tone was as sweet as honey, but I was sneering in my heart.

Think about the danger?

Don’t you see who I am?

The greasy voice of Wang, the person in charge, came from the other end of the phone: "Oh, Madam Zhan, what a rare guest! What can I do for you?"

"I don't dare to take the order, I just want to ask how your charity project is going. I have some spare money recently and want to donate some to charity." I pretended to be a stupid and rich person, but in my heart I was thinking about how to expose his true intentions.

"Oh, thank you so much, Madam Zhan, for your generous donation! Our project is in need of funds! You are really a timely help!" Manager Wang was so excited that his voice changed.

Oh, the fish is hooked!

A few days later, I dressed up and attended this so-called charity dinner.

When Zhou Yuanfang's relative saw me, her eyes nearly burst into flames, but she still pretended to be calm and greeted me with a forced smile: "Cousin, you're here too? What a coincidence!"

"Yes, cousin, what a coincidence." I responded with an even brighter smile, and said to myself: Plastic sisters, we'll see!

At the dinner, Mr. Wang introduced their charity project in a vivid and moving manner. His speech was very eloquent and touching.

As I listened, I observed the reactions of the people around me.

Sure enough, many people were deceived by his sweet words and took out their checkbooks to donate.

Humph, it’s time to use the big move!

I cleared my throat and raised my voice, "Mr. Wang, you just said this project is to help children in the mountainous areas. But as far as I know, there's no such school in this mountainous area! Who are you planning to donate this money to?"

My words were like a bomb, exploding at the dinner party.

Everyone was in an uproar and turned their eyes to the person in charge, Wang.

Manager Wang's face turned pale instantly and he stammered, unable to speak.

I pressed the issue and took out the evidence I had prepared in advance, including forged school photos, false donation records, etc., and placed them in front of everyone one by one.

"This evidence is enough to prove that you and my 'good cousin' orchestrated this scam! You're taking advantage of everyone's kindness to enrich yourself. How shameless!"

When Zhou Yuanfang's relative saw that the matter was exposed, his face turned pale and he tried to escape, but I caught him.

"Want to run? Not so easy! Today, I'm going to let everyone see your true colors!"

Amidst the accusations of the crowd, Zhou Yuanfang's relatives and the person in charge, Wang, were taken away by security guards.

I felt relieved when I saw how miserable they were.

Humph, you want to fight me?

You guys are still young!

I won this social war!

Although it’s not over yet, at least I won this round beautifully!

Just wait, in the next chapter, I will let you know what a real "Jedi counterattack" is!
