"Who are you people?" Zhang Wenxiu turned her back in a panic, covering her back with her arms crossed, adopting a defensive posture, her eyes wide open.

"What you did completely violated my privacy. I'm going to sue you. And how exactly is your mall secure? How could you let such a thug break into the changing room?" Pointing her finger at the other person's nose, Zhang Wenxiu's face was full of anger.

"This..." The saleswoman looked troubled. Not only was Liu Peilan a major customer of their mall, but her status also made her someone an ordinary worker like them not someone they could afford to offend. But Zhang Wenxiu's words were also true, and they had no way to refute them.

"There's no need to worry about that. I already spoke with Manager Bai before I came." Liu Peilan sneered. Only petty bourgeois people wouldn't understand what privileged classes are. How could her Liu family be so simple?

Liu Peilan's eyes scanned Zhang Wenxiu from head to toe, her gaze seemingly penetrating through her clothes, blatantly lewd. She couldn't help but sneer inwardly, "This is the kind of person I'm looking for? Sun Fei, your taste is really questionable."

The thought of losing to such a woman filled Liu Peilan with disgust and anger. She accidentally discovered the letter, which was full of intimate photos of a woman and her husband. Being a smart woman, she wouldn't fly into a rage based on just one side of the story. She secretly sent someone to investigate the matter thoroughly.

She simply couldn't believe that her doting husband was having an affair behind her back! But no matter how much she didn't believe it, when the evidence was right in front of her, Liu Peilan was finally defeated by reality, her heart filled with resentment and anger.

She believed she had treated Sun Fei well, using her family's influence to help him establish Feixiang Company, bearing his children, and managing the household. Yet, this was how he treated her? He had deceived her for so many years. Liu Peilan, who had always considered herself quite clever, suddenly felt terribly foolish, and her husband even more terrifyingly treacherous.

It's not surprising that someone can act; anyone can act if they want to. But acting for a while is easy, acting for a lifetime is incredibly difficult. This man has lies etched into his very bones, completely deceiving his wife.

Liu Peilan couldn't imagine whether she could still live in this world and enjoy the sunshine if her husband decided to kill her one day.

"You...you are..." Zhang Wenxiu wanted to scream and shout, but when she saw Liu Peilan's face, which was so familiar, she fell silent and stammered, unable to speak.

Compared to Liu Peilan's unfamiliarity with her, Zhang Wenxiu was all too familiar with Liu Peilan. Sun Fei feared his wife more than he liked her, and he always talked to her about how shrewd and capable she was. He also proudly mentioned how he had deceived Liu Peilan.

Zhang Wenxiu, who was determined to become the boss's wife, regarded Liu Peilan as her rival. After all, Liu Peilan was undoubtedly the biggest obstacle to her becoming the boss's wife of Feixiang Company.

Because of her own hidden thoughts, Zhang Wenxiu thoroughly studied Liu Peilan. Her family was powerful and influential, with connections in both the legitimate and criminal worlds. She herself was a ruthless woman who showed no mercy when she took action.

Her only soft spot is probably her family. Once this kind of woman hardens her heart, everyone else will become cannon fodder.

Liu Peilan once had her face disfigured because someone tried to seduce Sun Fei. She dared not speak out and swallowed her pain and blood, which is enough to demonstrate the ruthlessness and decisiveness of a woman.

In terms of both status and interests, Zhang Wenxiu was no match for Liu Peilan. Her only advantages were her youth and the child in her womb. Liu Peilan had only given birth to one daughter, Sun Peipei, before having another child. Sun Fei, on the other hand, was a very traditional man who wanted a son. If she gave birth to a son, she could gradually win over Sun Fei's heart.

But all of this depends on time. She needs ample time to do it, but right now she's completely unprepared and has just run into her. Remembering Liu Peilan's methods, Zhang Wenxiu couldn't help but shudder, her face turning slightly pale.

"Mrs. Sun, Miss Sun, I didn't know you were coming. I'll leave right away and won't bother you." Zhang Wenxiu hurriedly put on her clothes, not caring about her appearance, and tried to escape in a panic.

"Wait a minute—" Liu Peilan thought disdainfully, sitting down on a chair and crossing her legs. Sun Peipei sat down beside her, looking at Zhang Wenxiu with the same disdain as if she were judging a piece of pork.

"You're not even that good-looking, you're as fat as an old hag, I don't know what my dad saw in you." Sun Peipei was outspoken and spoke very harshly. She felt a deep hatred for the woman who had destroyed her family, and if it weren't for the rule of law, she would have torn her to pieces long ago.

Zhang Wenxiu's face turned pale. She lowered her head, not daring to speak, and began to tremble all over. Her hands instinctively protected her stomach, and she felt humiliated.

If Wuyou had listened to her, he probably would have already gone up and berated her to death. However, since the other party's status and position were beyond his reach, she lost that sense of superiority and naturally dared not talk back.

"Zhang Wenxiu, I think you should know me, and you should also know my husband, Sun Fei. You're not much to look at, but you've got a lot of tricks up your sleeve. You managed to keep my husband's affair a secret for five years without me finding out. You're really something!"

Liu Peilan clasped her hands together on her abdomen, coldly staring at Zhang Wenxiu's pale, paper-like face.

"I...I don't know what you're talking about, Madam. I'm already married and have nothing to do with Mr. Sun anymore. You must have the wrong person." Zhang Wenxiu bit her lip, a trace of blood seeping out, which stimulated her senses and calmed her mind considerably.

"Do you think I'm as stupid as your husband Li Wuyou, someone you can manipulate at will? He's muddle-headed, not even knowing whose child his wife is carrying. I'm not. I think no one knows better than you or me. Dreaming of using the emperor to command the nobles? Dream on—" Liu Peilan sneered, her eyes on Zhang Wenxiu like knives on paper, wishing she could kill him with her gaze.

“The child in my belly is my husband’s, and has nothing to do with anyone else. Saying that is clearly an insult to me and my husband.” Holding her bulging belly tightly, Zhang Wenxiu knew that she had to stick to this point. As long as the other party could not produce any real evidence, they could not do anything to her.

If this gets out, at worst it'll just be a romantic escapade; everyone has their youthful indiscretions. But if Liu Peilan lays a hand on herself or the child, the other party won't get away with it either.

“I know your husband is a policeman, but he’s just a low-ranking officer. Do you think you can fight against the Liu family? I can destroy you both with a single word.” Liu Peilan’s words were like a sharp knife, piercing Zhang Wenxiu’s chest.

"Take them away—" No matter how reckless she was, she wouldn't act in public. Liu Peilan waved her hand, and a group of people left with Zhang Wenxiu.
