Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Over the weekend, Yan Zhen changed into a pink dress and went back to the Zhou family's old house with Zhou Yan to attend Grandma Zhou's birthday banquet.

Grandma Zhou celebrated her 70th birthday with a grand banquet, inviting celebrities from all directions.

Yan Zhen, arm in arm with Zhou Yan, walked through the banquet hall, seeing several faces that were active on the big screen along the way.

Since they've invited a popular celebrity from the entertainment industry, Su Er should be coming too.

The thought of possibly seeing the female sea queen up close tonight filled Yan Zhen with a sense of anticipation.

Not long after the two entered the banquet hall, Zhou Yan made an excuse to leave.

Yan Zhen kept this in mind and followed Zhou Yan in the direction he had left a few minutes later.

Outside the banquet hall was the Zhou family's back garden, and not far away was the kitchen, where servants were coming and going, preparing for the dinner.

Yan Zhen didn't go into the back garden, but instead lifted her skirt and went upstairs.

There is a viewing platform on the third floor, from which you can have a panoramic view of the entire back garden.

Standing on the observation deck, visibility was poor under the night sky. Yan Zhen turned on the thermal imaging function on his phone and scanned the back garden. He quickly spotted two overlapping figures under the grape trellis in the distance.

Zhou Yan was dressed in a black tuxedo tonight, while the woman, whose hands were clinging to the grape trellis and whose waist he was holding down and penetrating from behind, was wearing a dark blue dress. The two of them were well concealed in the night.

If it weren't for thermal imaging, Yan Zhen really wouldn't have been able to find them.

Thirty meters away, the kitchen was bustling with activity, and the two under the grape trellis were just as busy. When they got excited, Su Er leaned back and turned her head to kiss Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan was so excited that his movements became increasingly rough and fierce...

Yan Zhen adjusted the camera's focus and captured the scene.

After taking photos of the evidence, Yan Zhen went downstairs and strolled around the edge of the garden.

Based on her knowledge of gardens, such a large garden would most likely have an automatic sprinkler system.

Before long, Yan Zhen found it in the direction of the kitchen.

She went to the kitchen, took out a bucket of swill with red oil floating on it, poured it all into the fertilizer inlet of the sprinkler system, and then started the sprinkler system.

After doing all this, she clapped her hands and turned back to the banquet hall.

As she stepped into the banquet hall, a sharp scream came from behind her.

Yan Zhen raised an eyebrow but did not turn around.

As soon as she entered the banquet hall, a middle-aged man who looked like a butler came over and said politely, "Young Madam, Madam requests your presence."

Yan Zhen nodded and followed him to the backstage area of ​​the banquet hall.

The banquet was organized by Jiang Yuechan. She was currently in the control room confirming the content of the VCR to be played on the banquet's large screen. When Yan Zhen walked in, she was surrounded by two staff members.

Upon seeing Yan Zhen, Jiang Yuechan waved her hand, and the two staff members tactfully left the control room.

As Jiang Yuechan looked Yan Zhen up and down, Yan Zhen also stared at her.

Jiang Yuechan was under fifty years old, slender, and well-maintained. Wearing a well-tailored cheongsam with a pearl necklace, she was a typical noblewoman.

However, the deep nasolabial folds and the sharp-tongued look in his eyes make it clear that this person is not easy to get along with.

In her past life, this mother-in-law had tormented Ming Yiwei quite a bit because she looked down on her humble origins. In front of her, she never bothered to hide her contempt and malice.

Not only did she speak harshly, but she also constantly criticized her for not taking good care of Zhou Yan. Even Ming Yiwei's favorite comics had to be given up because Jiang Yuechan thought they were "not presentable" and "would make people laugh."

"What were you doing the past few days?" Jiang Yuechan's first words were full of accusation. She took out her phone from her bag, opened a video, and handed it to her. "Who is this old lady?"

Yan Zhen took the video and saw that it was a video of her and Grandma Ming dancing at a bar.

“It’s my grandma. She came to Fengcheng to visit me, and I took her out to play.”

"Is this a place a married person like you should go?" Jiang Yuechan said coldly. "And bringing the elderly there, is that appropriate?"

Yan Zhen feigned ignorance: "Why can't we go? Zhou Yan is going too, he's already married."

“Zhou Yan is a man, how can he be compared to you?” Jiang Yuechan frowned. “Men need to socialize and socialize, going to places like this is for business negotiations and stress relief! What about you? You stay at home all day doing nothing, with a whole family waiting for Zhou Yan to support them, and you still go to places like this to squander money, what kind of behavior is that!”

With Jiang Yuechan having said all that, how could Yan Zhen not understand?

It's not that I mind her taking her grandmother to nightclubs; what I really feel is disgust at her spending over 20 million.

Recalling Jiang Yuechan's actions of dismissing the staff earlier, this woman was extremely concerned about her image. She always maintained a gentle and magnanimous image in front of outsiders, and only dared to be rude to her daughter-in-law behind closed doors.

If only we could expose her true colors...

Yan Zhen glanced at the control panel connecting to the banquet hall and had an idea in mind.

By placing her phone on the control panel, she subtly flipped up the switch connecting the banquet hall's external speakers, then turned and leaned against the edge of the control panel, blocking Jiang Yuechan's view.

"Mom, do you think I spend money too extravagantly?"

Upon hearing this address, Jiang Yuechan immediately retorted in a harsh voice, "Who's your mother? Don't call me 'Mom'!"

Yan Zhen said aggrievedly, "Zhou Yan and I have already registered our marriage. You are my mother-in-law, so isn't it only right that I call you 'Mom'?"

"Are you worthy?" Jiang Yuechan sneered, her tone sharp. "I haven't even asked you yet, where did you spend all this money?"

"I bought some gifts for my family..." Yan Zhen explained, "The card was given to me by Zhou Yan. He said I could spend it as I pleased and didn't need to save money for him."

"He's being generous by letting you spend as you please, but you're really taking advantage of us, bringing along poor relatives who're just trying to freeload off us!" Jiang Yuechan got angrier and angrier, pointing at Yan Zhen and yelling, "A pheasant trying to climb the social ladder, thinking you're some kind of phoenix? You're desperate for money!"

Yan Zhen was taken aback, then pretended to be provoked, her face darkening as she said, "Mom, do you have to be so rude? All I did was swipe Zhou Yan's card, and he gave me his permission. He didn't say anything, so why are you lecturing me like this?"

"Why should I lecture you?" Jiang Yuechan laughed angrily. "Because I'm your mother-in-law! Now that you've entered the Zhou family and are enjoying the benefits of being the young mistress of the Zhou family, you have to obediently listen to me—of course, if you don't want to listen, I won't force you. Just divorce Zhou Yan as soon as possible. There are countless women outside who are vying to become the Zhou family's daughter-in-law!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Zhen scoffed, "Are you sure?"

Provoked by her disdainful tone, Jiang Yuechan flew into a rage: "What do you mean?"

"Zhou Yan is impotent and can't get an erection in bed. Did you know that?" Yan Zhen spoke clearly and deliberately emphasized the words "impotent".

"He asked me to do IVF, and I initially agreed, but now it seems I have to reconsider. I only married Zhou Yan because of the Zhou family's good financial situation and the prospect of financial freedom in the future."

"But I only spent a small amount of money, and you're acting like your home has been ransacked! A husband who's impotent, a stingy mother-in-law—this marriage is sexually devoid and materially harsh. Are you sure there are plenty of people eager to marry into it?"
