"Qiao Wanwan!" Ruan Tang's eyes flashed with venom. "You dare to show your face in front of me!"

"Why wouldn't I dare?" Qiao Wanwan smiled. "Cousin, take a good look. This is my front door."

Ruan Tang found the word "cousin" extremely grating. "Qiao Wanwan, don't be so smug!"

Qiao Wanwan looked at her, "Ruan Tang, don't you want to know why you were kicked out of Wutong Bay so quickly?"

Ruan Tang frowned. "What do you mean?"

"Since you've become a stray dog, I'll let you get out of here knowing what's going on." Qiao Wanwan said with a faint smile, "Zhan Yin and I get along very well, but we are both very sensible. We would never put our arms around each other. That night, I knew you were observing me in secret, so I deliberately used a fake position. From the angle you were standing at, it did look like I was very close to Zhan Yin, but what you saw was just an illusion."

Ruan Tang's face turned pale with anger. "Qiao Wanwan, how dare you scheme against me!"

Qiao Wanwan looked at the phone she put into her pocket and said, "You don't need to secretly record. Come on, take out your phone and record openly. I can even repeat what you just said so you can record properly."

Ruan Tang: "......!!!"

"Qiao Wanwan, are you really that fearless?"

"I didn't do anything wrong, why should I be afraid of you recording me?" Qiao Wanwan said calmly. "By the way, aren't you curious why the maid happened to be recording when you had her spread rumors to slander me?"

Ruan Tang's eyes widened. "It's you..."

“Ruan Tang, I am the mistress of Wutong Bay, and you are just a guest,” Qiao Wanwan emphasized. “It is my decision to arrange for someone to serve you, understand?”

"I forgot to tell you, before you came to Wutong Bay, the family just cleaned out the traitors. There were people planted by Zhan Lao, and there were people planted by Zhan Xiuwen. They were all cleaned up. So among the remaining people, no one dares to betray Jing Ting. And I am Jing Ting's wife, so naturally no one dares to betray me. You think you can spend a mere tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan to bribe people to slander me? That's ridiculous."

"Qiao, Wan, Wan!" Ruan Tang wanted nothing more than to tear Qiao Wanwan to pieces on the spot. "You meticulously planned and schemed to harm me!"

Qiao Wanwan smiled calmly, "If you didn't have any intention to harm others, you wouldn't have fallen into my trap, would you?"

"Why did you do this to me?" Ruan Tang clenched her fists. "To be precise, when did you decide to frame me?"

"The day you threw coffee at me," Qiao Wanwan's eyes turned cold, "I've seen plenty of people like you. You dared to throw coffee in my face today, next time you'll dare to throw sulfuric acid. Tell me, how could I possibly keep someone like you in my house? So no matter who you are, I will kick you out."

"Ruan Tang, if you know what's good for you, this is the best outcome for you. From now on, you will still be my cousin, and Jing Ting will still send you gifts during holidays. I won't object to Jing Ting, as your cousin, spending a little money on you."

"But if you are insatiable and greedy, then I'm sorry, you will only lose more."

"Qiao Wanwan, are you threatening me?"

"This isn't a threat, it's a friendly reminder." Qiao Wanwan didn't say anything more. "Take care of yourself."

Ruan Tang watched the sports car disappear into the dust, her teeth itching with hatred.

"Qiao Wanwan, you just wait!"

......

When Qiao Wanwan returned home, Zhan Jingting was playing with Eleven. Seeing her come in, he stood up and went over to ask, "Did you deliver the things?"

"Well, she started living at school early, and I can't take care of her much, so I can only send her more food to her dorm and ask her roommates to look after her."

“She’s not a child anymore, and she’s recovered. As long as she doesn’t run around, nothing will happen to her.”

“I asked, and Zaozao is indeed very well-behaved. She spends all her free time in the library every day.”

"That's good."

"I saw Ruan Tang at the door."

“Logically, I shouldn’t have let her go so easily.” A hint of displeasure flashed in Zhan Jingting’s deep eyes. “My mother came to me and said a lot of things, and she was crying and sobbing. I was annoyed by what she was saying, so I went along with her wishes and just kicked Ruan Tang out.”

Qiao Wanwan nodded, "My initial request was just for her to leave; I didn't want anything else."

"Wanwan, I'm sorry." Zhan Jingting touched her hair. "I really don't know why she has become like this. She seems to be a completely different person from when she was a child... But I don't think I've ever paid attention to what kind of person she is."

"It's okay, the person is gone and won't affect our lives anymore. That's enough. Let's not talk about this anymore and go eat."

"good."

Life in Wutong Bay returned to normal, but Qiao Wanwan's nerves remained on edge.

Ruan Tang is the person in the public eye, and because she's self-righteous and not very bright, she's easy to deal with. But the person behind the scenes has probably seen more than she has eaten rice, and she's lurking in the shadows, making her the most difficult to deal with!

While researching Zhan Jingting's illness, Qiao Wanwan also protected those around her.

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and there has been no major movement in the capital.

Qiao Wanwan took some time to visit Su Cheng at the Zhan family's old residence and changed his dressing.

Su Cheng nodded, "What merit do I have to deserve the young mistress personally changing my dressing?"

"I didn't come here specifically to change your dressing, but to see why your master hasn't come to save you yet."

Su Cheng: "......"

"I never expected that the young mistress would have such thoughts. I thought you were the kind of girl who needed the young master to protect you at all times."
