Wang Jian didn't understand the boss's ambiguous smile, so he rubbed his head and went out to give a reply.

When he entered Liu Zi's office for the third time, Wang Jian realized that his boss was trying to intimidate him!

"Boss, she said she's Mr. Li's stepmother and would like to invite you to dinner."

Hehe~

Liu Zi took off her glasses and stood up.

"Since she insists on meeting me, I'll go and meet her. Remember to invite her to meeting room number two, and make sure everything is prepared."

Wang Jian's eyes lit up. This was the first time they had used Conference Room No. 2, so it was a good opportunity to test its effectiveness.

"Don't worry, boss, I'll take care of it myself."

"Um!"

Wang Jian had already gone down to fetch someone, so Liu Zi calmly finished the water in her cup.

Hopefully, Mrs. Li will hand her a check like in the TV dramas, but considering the Li family's wealth, that seems unlikely.

Liu Zi is now starting to wonder what methods this Mrs. Li will use to force him out.

After being kicked out three times, Zheng Yueqin finally entered one of their small meeting rooms after the fourth negotiation.

With her back to everyone, Zheng Yueqin looked around with a disgusted expression, pouting.

How dare some nobody dare to act so arrogantly towards her? When she gets back, she'll definitely contact some big shots to blacklist this girl.

Zheng Yueqin teaches erhu at a film academy and has some connections in the industry.

She believed she could easily cause Liu Zi some trouble and make her studio unable to continue operating.

"Mrs. Li, what a rare guest! May I ask what brings you here?" Liu Zi walked in casually from outside the door, pulled up a chair and sat down.

Zheng Yueqin frowned slightly, but then put on a smile and said, "So you know me! Mumu must have mentioned us to you. That child is always like this; she doesn't even tell us when she's dating someone outside. We've really neglected you."

Liu Zi was surprised to realize that this Mrs. Li was actually a seasoned connoisseur of white tea.

"It's okay, it's only right that I don't tell you," Liu Zi said directly.

Zheng Yueqin's face stiffened. Why was this woman acting so unpredictably?

"You're joking, girl. I'm his stepmother, but his father is his biological father! I even asked the old man before, and he said he didn't know either. That's really unacceptable. When you come back, you have to have a good talk with Mu Mu. Once things are settled, I'll arrange for us to have a meal together as a family." Zheng Yueqin's words were laced with sarcasm, clearly intended to create conflict between the young couple.

"I told him not to say it. I haven't decided whether I want to marry him yet, why should I meet some of his unimportant family members!"

Liu Zi smiled and revealed her reasons, almost causing Zheng Yueqin to lose her composure.

This woman is too difficult to deal with. Zheng Yueqin gritted her teeth, determined not to let her in and cause trouble.

"I didn't expect you two to have such a good relationship. I thought that since Mingyue left, Mumu would never find someone to love again," Zheng Yueqin said seemingly casually.

"Oh, why did I say that? Just pretend you didn't hear me."

Zheng Yueqin pretended to be flustered, as if she was afraid of Liu Zi's questioning.

"Oh!" Liu Zizhen responded without asking any further questions.

Zheng Yueqin was dumbfounded. Could this woman be a shield pushed out by that brat Li Mu?

No one is indifferent to whether their boyfriend has someone else in his heart.

Little did Zheng Yueqin know that Li Mu had already confessed everything about her.

When Liu Zi heard Zheng Yueqin's provocations again, she felt no resentment at all.

Then she thought of something else and said, seemingly casually, "I heard you were married before and have two daughters. I wonder who's taking care of them?"

"Both daughters live with me; their father has been stripped of custody." Liu Zi didn't hide it; the Li family could easily find out the truth with a simple investigation.

"Oh dear! Raising a child is no small matter. Li Mu has never been married before and has no children, I'm afraid..."

"If possible, we could discuss it with their father's relatives. We could cover the costs and let the children go with their father."

"Of course, this is just my suggestion; you'll have to discuss it yourselves." Zheng Yueqin said, feigning concern.

Liu Zi felt that she might have been too easy to talk to, which allowed this woman to spout such nonsense in front of her.

"Ms. Zheng, who do you think you are? Don't even mention that I'm not married to Li Mu yet. Even if I were married to him, it's still uncertain whether he would acknowledge you. Others may not know how you got the title of Mrs. Li, but you certainly do!" Liu Zi looked at Zheng Yueqin's pale face, and especially when she heard the last sentence, she trembled all over.

"Li Mu is a man, he can't be bothered with you, you old white lotus. I won't tolerate you. Everyone knows what you're thinking. Let me tell you, even if I don't marry Li Mu in the end, I'll make him make a will to donate all his wealth, leaving nothing for your son." Liu Zi flipped the table over.

Zheng Yueqin was trembling with anger. How dare she speak to her like that? She gritted her teeth and said, unable to contain her anger.

"Don't think I don't know you're only after Li Mu's money. You talk so high and mighty, but if you're so capable, don't marry Li Mu." Zheng Yueqin raised an eyebrow and said.

"You don't need to provoke me. Whether I get married or not is none of your business. Anyway, I can earn my own money. Even if Li Mu donates all his assets, I can still support him. On the other hand, some people might have a different opinion," Liu Zi said with a smile.

This woman had somehow made Li Mu unwilling to go home for years, and Liu Zi suddenly realized that she had overestimated him.

"If Madam Li has nothing more to say, then please leave! I have many things to attend to." Seeing that she had nothing more to say, Liu Zi directly dismissed her.

"You make it sound so nice, but I'll wait and see how you end up." Zheng Yueqin stood up angrily.

"Okay, you watch. If we don't get married, I'll make him donate the money. If we do get married, I'll make him give all the money to me, and I guarantee you won't see a single drop." Liu Zi told Zheng Yueqin the conclusion directly.

"You venomous woman, I'm going to complain to the old man. He'll definitely object to Li Mu seeing you again," Zheng Yueqin threatened Liu Zi.

"Go ahead! I happen to have surveillance cameras in this conference room too. I'll make a copy and send it to the old man, and see what he says." Liu Zi wasn't afraid at all. How could someone who received such high praise from her father be deceived by this woman? She simply didn't believe it!

"You...you treacherous villain!" Zheng Yueqin exclaimed in shock.

"I call this 'all's fair in war'," Liu Zi said, raising an eyebrow at her with a smug look.

Wang Jian had already opened the meeting room door, preparing to invite Mrs. Li out.

Seeing that there was no way to salvage the situation, Madam Li could only leave in a sorry state.
