Jiang Yao was taken aback, but secretly delighted.

During this time, Gu Mang had been staying at the Jiang family's house, being lazy and gluttonous, and full of bad habits. Jiang Mingyuan had long been disgusted with him.

However, because he was someone arranged by Huo Zhiyan, it was not appropriate to force him to leave.

They turned a blind eye to his usual petty theft and other misdeeds.

Judging from Yao Manning's current intentions, she wants to release Gu Mang again... That way, not only will she get rid of this plague god, but she can also teach Jiang Can a lesson!

Jiang Yao smiled and massaged her legs even more attentively.

"Miss Yao, you really should consider what I mentioned last time!"

"What?" Yao Manning picked up the soda water in front of her and glanced at her casually.

"It's just... it's just about publicizing the fact that that little slut is getting married to Gu Mang!"

Yao Manning narrowed her eyes and thought about it carefully.

When I ran into Huo Zhiyan last time, he seemed to have mentioned it briefly, but not in full.

The main point was to get Gu Mang to make a scene and let everyone know that he should actually be Jiang Can's husband, and that Huo Zhixing had married someone else instead...

Whether the marriage certificate is real or fake doesn't matter; netizens won't check. They just want to enjoy the gossip.

I just want to talk about these kinds of things in wealthy families, and I just want to see how Huo Sanshao, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, got involved with a married woman...

If things blow up, Jiang Can will definitely be ruined, and she won't be able to explain herself no matter how hard she tries.

Huo Zhixing will also be affected and fall into a trough.

At that time, she will step forward to help him.

Huo Zhixing will be grateful for her kindness, and then gradually forget Jiang Can...

Yao Manning revealed a wild smile, and asked Jiang Yao for a glass of red wine in return, which she drank in one gulp.

What's Gu Mang's situation now?

"I heard he's been sick these past few days." Jiang Yao stood respectfully in front of her. "It's just a common cold and fever. My dad found him a doctor, and he should get better soon!"

“Okay.” Yao Manning nodded. “Once he’s better, we’ll have him come to Yangcheng. We’ll need to discuss the specific plans with Huo Zhiyan.”

"So, during this time..." Jiang Yao rolled her eyes, "are we just going to let that little bitch get away with it like this?"

“Of course not!” Yao Manning straightened up.

But for the time being, they couldn't think of a suitable way to deal with Jiang Can.

"Miss Yao, I have an idea," Jiang Yao said with a fawning smile. "I heard that it's almost Madam Huo's birthday, and the Huo family will definitely be throwing a big celebration!"

"You mean Wang Meiyun?"

Yao Manning and Wang Meiyun didn't have much contact, but every time she visited the Huo family, Wang Meiyun acted arrogantly and ignored her.

Yao Manning was somewhat angry and gave a soft snort.

What's so great about the Wang family? They're just a bunch of nouveau riche who actually think they're high society!

"Miss Yao, that First Madam usually rolls her eyes at everyone and is incredibly arrogant! Ha... she probably doesn't even look down on Jiang Can!"

"If we can make Jiang Can embarrass herself at her birthday party and incur the Madam's wrath, then you won't even need to lift a finger anymore; that troublesome Madam can handle her herself!"

Yao Manning thought about it and realized that what she said made a lot of sense.

"Hmm," she chuckled, pulling Jiang Yao over to sit down. Her anger from when she entered had largely subsided, and she said to her in a gentle tone, "So, what good ideas do you have?"

"Miss Yao, you absolutely mustn't be too assertive in front of Jiang Can!" Jiang Yao curled her lips and lowered her voice, "You don't know, but back when she was at that company in Jiangzhou, she once beat up a female boss with whom she had a grudge!"

"What?" Yao Manning was taken aback. "She can hit people?"

"Yes!" Jiang Yao squinted her eyes. "That little bitch, she acts all pitiful in front of others, but she's a completely different person the moment she turns her back! She lured that female leader to a very secluded place, and when there were no security cameras around, she slapped her hard a few times!"

"So... Miss Yao, we can make arrangements for the birthday banquet in advance!"

"How should we arrange it?"

"I'll also drag Jiang Can to a secluded place, and then... then you'll have to suffer the injustice of slapping yourself a few times. At that point, I'll gather everyone! Let everyone see that Jiang Can hit you!"

“This…” Yao Manning felt more and more uneasy as she listened.

Why slap yourself a few times? Is it a self-inflicted injury ploy?

Even if it were a self-inflicted injury, she didn't want to take the lead herself.

Besides, she no longer fully trusted Jiang Yao's schemes. However, this particular plan suited her quite well, and she was eager to give it a try—what if it succeeded?

“Miss Yao, you must pretend to be weak then!” Jiang Yao said eloquently, “Let everyone see with their own eyes that Jiang Can is a shrew! That way, everyone will be on your side.”

Yao Manning thought for a long time, then looked up at her, "This idea is good..."

“Jiang Yao,” she adjusted her posture, “our ultimate goal is to embarrass Jiang Can at the banquet, to let everyone see that she’s a shrew, right?”

Jiang Yao was taken aback, then nodded.

"As long as we achieve this goal, the process in between doesn't matter."

"Ms. Yao, what do you mean...?"

"This task of slapping yourself is entrusted to you!"

Jiang Yao heard a buzzing sound in her ears and her eyes widened instantly.

Actually, when she gave Yao Manning this suggestion, she was somewhat motivated by revenge. After all, that damned bitch slapped her the moment she walked in the door!

Half of her face is still burning with pain!

However, to everyone's surprise, Yao Manning was quite shrewd and did not accept the suggestion to slap herself!
