Liu Qianmei was extremely flustered.

“Shu Mowan, I am your adoptive mother. If you call the police to arrest me, that would be the greatest act of filial impiety.”

She had no choice but to bring up the debt of gratitude she owed for raising her, saying, "I raised you for twenty years. The debt of giving birth to you is greater than the debt of raising you. This is an indisputable fact."

Shu Mowan gave a sarcastic laugh.

Are you sure you raised me?

She said.

If there weren't so many people around, she wouldn't even need to use polite language with Liu Qianmei.

Out of respect for her grandmother, she had given this woman face many times, but she took advantage of it and came to provoke her repeatedly.

It's incredibly infuriating.

Liu Qianmei's eyes flickered, somewhat guilty. She said without much confidence, "Even if you were raised by my mother since you were little, it was still me who brought the money back. Otherwise, how would my mother have raised you?"

"You mean that two thousand yuan a year?"

Shu Mowan's tone became even more sarcastic, "Wow, that's a lot of money. If you're careful with it, you could probably fill a gap between your teeth."

"puff……"

Someone in the guests started laughing, and then the others joined in.

They initially thought it was a story of an ungrateful adopted daughter, but it turned out to be a fabricated smear campaign orchestrated by Liu Qianmei herself.

In their eyes, she is now just a clown.

Liu Qianmei felt her face burning hot.

It hurt terribly when Shu Mowan slapped him back.

"Ms. Liu, you live the life of a wealthy wife in a rich family, eating and dressing well every day, and giving your grandmother two thousand yuan a year for support. How dare you shamelessly say that you're giving money to your grandmother to support me?"

When Shu Mowan mentioned her grandmother, her gaze towards Liu Qianmei became even more disgusted. She raised her hand and lightly patted her face, saying, "Where's your face? Were you born without it, or did it get eaten by dogs after living in a wealthy family for so long?"

"you……"

Liu Qianmei was speechless after being rebuked, feeling ashamed, embarrassed, and angry all at once.

Today, I've lost both face and substance. My plan to bring Yu Morao in to woo a rich and powerful man has completely failed.

It's all Shu Mowan's fault. She really is a jinx; nothing good ever comes from meeting her.

"Shu Mowan, I don't care, you can't sue me for defamation, otherwise when I get out, I'll go to court to get back custody of my mother and bring her to live with me."

Liu Qianmei stiffened her neck and said.

She knew that her biological mother was Shu Mowan's weakness, and she didn't believe that she wouldn't compromise.

Shu Mowan narrowed her eyes, a cold glint in them, and said, "Are you threatening me?"

"With so many powerful backers now, how could I dare to threaten you? I just want you to remember that the Yu family was once your supporter, so that you would help them out more. That's why this happened today."

Liu Qianmei was smart enough to know that both the Shu and Yang families were watching her. If she continued to act arrogantly, the Yu family might not be able to stay in Kyoto tomorrow.

So I'll show weakness first.

"You want my help, but you're ruining my reputation first?"

Shu Mowan looked at Liu Qianmei with a smirk.

Are they treating her like a fool?

"Since you ignore me when I try to talk to you nicely, I have to find another way."

Liu Qianmei is talking nonsense.

With all the guests still around, Shu Mowan didn't want to become the focus of everyone's attention, so she didn't bother to waste any more words with Liu Qianmei.

"Alright, you've come up with a different approach. I'll have someone take you to rest first, and we can talk about sponsoring you after the banquet."

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Old Yang.

Old Yang understood and immediately summoned someone.

"Please come upstairs to rest, Ms. Liu."

He gave the order.

"Yes, sir."

The servant agreed.

Liu Qianmei's thought process was clearly different from ordinary people. She looked at Shu Mowan on the stage warily: "Shu Mowan, you asked someone to take me upstairs. You're not planning to imprison me, are you?"

"Let me tell you, this is illegal."

She deliberately raised her voice.

Shu Mowan's brow twitched slightly; she had really put up with Liu Qianmei enough.

"Does Ms. Liu want to be thrown out the door because she doesn't want to go upstairs to rest?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Qianmei knew that Shu Mowan was giving her this choice.

You either go upstairs with the servants, or they throw you out.

Before she could make a decision, Yu Morao tugged at her sleeve and whispered, "Mom, let's stop arguing and go upstairs to talk."

Liu Qianmei turned to look at her and agreed.

After the mother and daughter were led upstairs, Fu Rong, standing in the crowd, curled her lip in disdain.

I thought Liu Qianmei would be stronger in combat, but who knew she would be so easily defeated.

"Alright, everyone go have fun."

Old Yang clapped his hands and said, "I hope you won't take this little incident to heart and ruin your trip."

Everyone said they wouldn't.

After the guests dispersed, some danced, some discussed cooperation, and some chatted and laughed.

It's as if the incident just happened never existed.

"Wanwan, are you alright?"

Old Yang asked with concern.

Shu Mowan smiled, "Godfather, do I look like such a fragile person?"

She didn't take Liu Qianmei seriously at all.

Old Yang patted her head. "It doesn't look like it."

“But your godfather can see that you value relationships a lot.”

He said.

That's why he was worried that Shu Mowan would be hurt by Liu Qianmei.

Shu Mowan replied, "Godfather, I value relationships, but I also consider the person."

Trash doesn't deserve her attention.

Seeing that she really didn't care, Old Yang didn't say anything more.

Seeing the Shu family members approach, he said, "You keep Chu Xiao company and chat with them. I'll go and entertain the guests."

"Okay, godfather."

Shu Mowan agreed.

After Old Yang left, the Shu family and Si Tingyu arrived.

"Sister, can I kill your foster mother?"

Shu Lingyin rotated her wrist and said directly.
