"I only admire Aunt Cao and Wen Jun. In families like ours, we have requirements for who we marry. I am a pure and innocent young woman, how could I possibly become someone's second wife?"

Qiu Shanshan smiled, but her eyes were unusually cold.

Her sudden change in attitude left Cao Tongwen and Wen Jun completely stunned.

What's going on here? Qiu Shanshan comes over every now and then and buys them so many expensive gifts. Isn't it because she has her eye on Wen Jun?

How come it's suddenly turned into simple appreciation all of a sudden? Isn't this just playing with them?

Judging from the expressions on the three people's faces, the Cheng family could roughly guess what had happened.

I felt disgusted and nauseous at the same time, as if I had eaten shit.

I really don't know how they could have been so blind as to fall for this mother and son.

Having such a vain and brainless in-law has truly disgraced them.

If it weren't for the fact that they had to ask Wen Jun to go get the divorce certificate, the Cheng family would have loved to turn around and leave on the spot, not wanting to have anything to do with this family at all.

Cao Tongwen couldn't care less about them at the moment. Hearing Qiu Shanshan's words, she immediately became anxious.

"Shanshan, what do you mean by that? What do you mean by simply admiring us?"

Even Wen Jun, who always kept a high and mighty attitude and was critical and disdainful of Qiu Shanshan, was now genuinely anxious.

"Yes, Shanshan, what do you mean by that? Didn't we already agree on this?"

"I don't remember ever promising to marry you."

Qiu Shanshan didn't take their urging to heart at all, and spoke at her own unhurried pace.

"Haven't we always treated each other as friends?"

She never explicitly said she wanted to marry into the Wen family, but her usual behavior clearly demonstrated that!

But this was no time to worry about such things, so Cao Tongwen forced a smile and tried to build a relationship with her.

"Shanshan, Auntie knows I was being presumptuous today."

"But you are such a well-behaved and sensible child, Auntie really likes you from the bottom of her heart, and you get along so well with Junjun."

"It would be a shame to waste such a connection. That's why I was thinking of bringing our two families closer together. Don't say anything out of anger because of this."

Qiu Shanshan completely outmaneuvered the Wen family mother and son, yet her expression remained remarkably calm and composed.

"Do you two think I'm stupid? Marriage is a lifelong matter. It's not like I can't get married. Why should I choose someone with my eyes closed?"

She slapped Cao Tongwen's hand off her arm and turned to stand next to Cheng Wan.

When she spoke, she always sounded like she was doing it for Cheng Wan's sake.

"Everyone in the tenement knows that you treat Sister Wanwan very badly. Even when she was pregnant and had a big belly, you still bullied her."

"A man who treats his ex-wife like that, if any other girl married into the family, she certainly wouldn't be treated any better. Who would want to marry a man like that?"

Now it was Cao Tongwen and Wen Jun's turn to look grim.

"Shanshan, what do you mean by that? Could it be that we've misunderstood you?"

"If you weren't in love with my son, would you be constantly rushing to our house?"

Cao Tongwen looked as if she had swallowed a fly whole, her face extremely gloomy.

"It's normal for girls to get jealous and act a little temperamental. Aren't you afraid that Junjun and I will get really angry and not let you marry into our family?"

They've made themselves so clear, yet they're still dreaming of marrying a rich and beautiful woman.

Qiu Shanshan sneered without giving her any face.

"I only heard about your family's situation by chance, and I was very angry about how you bullied Sister Wanwan, so I wanted to come and test the waters."

"But I never expected that you two, mother and son, would be even more shameless than I imagined. You haven't even officially gotten your divorce certificate yet, and you're already eyeing other girls."

"Should I go to the police station and accuse you of bigamy?"

Qiu Shanshan's tough stance made Cao Tongwen's previous remarks seem like she was daydreaming.

The Wen family mother and son instantly made a fool of themselves.

Such a big news had happened in the courtyard, and naturally, Grandma Qian, Grandma Lü, and Grandma Sun wouldn't miss it.

The three of them rushed over to watch the drama unfold, and they overheard Qiu Shanshan's words, laughing so hard their stomachs hurt.

"The Wen family mother and son are really self-important. They don't even know who they are. Do you think they can be noticed by the Qiu family's eldest daughter?"

"A chicken in a straw nest wants to be a phoenix? With Wen Jun's face, he's not even qualified to marry into someone else's family!"

Several middle-aged women were eager to escalate the situation, so they took advantage of the situation and made sarcastic remarks.

Cao Tongwen and Wen Jun's faces were as dark as the bottom of a pot, but Qiu Shanshan seemed oblivious and continued:

"Wen Jun caused Wanwan to miscarry and then tried to cheat on her during the marriage. If you ask me, a scumbag like him should leave with nothing to make up for Wanwan's losses."

"If you can't come up with other money, that's fine. This house is pretty good, so let's give it to Sister Wanwan."

The Cheng family members were completely baffled.

Isn't Qiu Shanshan supposed to be in cahoots with the Wen family mother and son? Why is she now speaking up for them?

Could it be that he has had a change of heart and is unwilling to collude with the Wen family?

In any case, now that Qiu Shanshan is speaking up for them, the Cheng family can't afford to make things too ugly.

Song Xunying forced a smile and made a casual, polite remark.

"It's quite a coincidence that the lawyer we hired here also gave the same advice."

The topic was supposed to end there, but Qiu Shanshan's interest was instantly piqued again upon hearing this.

"It just so happens that I have a good relationship with the Wen family, so I can help you."

"Sister Wanwan, don't worry, I will definitely help you get that house from the Wen family."

Unexpectedly, at such a critical juncture, the daughter-in-law whom Cao Tongwen favored would choose to betray her.

Moreover, they sided with the Cheng family and wanted to take away their only house.

Cao Tongwen and Wen Jun were going crazy. They hadn't gotten anything in the first place, and if they lost their place to live, it would be the death of them!

Her eyes were bloodshot, and her gaze toward Cheng Wan was filled with hatred and resentment.

"You, how dare you treat me like this..."

"On what grounds?"

Cheng Xiangling sneered and stood directly in front of her sister, glaring angrily at Cao Tongwen and her son.

"You Wen family are so shameless! When you bullied my sister, didn't you ever think that one day someone would come knocking on your door to collect a debt?"

"Let alone a house, based on what you've done, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to send you and your son to the execution ground and shoot you!"

"Enough with the nonsense. We're giving you three days. By then, you must move out of this house, or we'll see you in court!"
