Zhang Guihua sneered, "You're not stupid, are you? No wonder I gave birth to you. Let me tell you, I came here today to ruin you. How did I do today? Hahahaha..."
Qiu Mang had previously thought that Zhang Guihua favored boys over girls, but she never expected that her hatred for her would be so deep.
Seeing Zhang Guihua's almost manic laughter, Qiu Mang couldn't help but shudder.
Zhang Guihua raised her hand and pinched Qiu Mang's cheek. "My dear daughter, if you're on my side and help your brother, and find your younger brother, we'll still be family. But you insist on going against me, so don't blame me!"
After saying that, Zhang Guihua gently patted Qiu Mang's face, then took two steps back and pulled Qiu Heping away.
The houses of the Lu family and the Xu family were very close, and Xu Jingyan could see this scene clearly from her own doorway.
"Sure enough, they kept their relationship a secret, and only I was suffering. If we expose it now, I won't be the only one who hates her!" Xu Jingyan's red lips curled slightly.
"Tsk tsk tsk... Miss Xu has now learned how to use others to do her dirty work. She's really improved!"
A man's voice suddenly came from behind.
Xu Jingyan was startled and turned her head to look. Lu Haifeng was standing behind her, gazing in the direction of the Lu family's old house.
Xu Jingyan frowned, pointing at the man in front of her, "You... what are you doing here? Who gave you permission to come?"
Lu Haifeng looked completely innocent, then grabbed the woman's soft fingers. "I'm a guest of honor invited by your father, and this is how you treat me?"
"That's between you and my dad, don't drag me into it!" Xu Jingyan struggled to pull her hand away.
Lu Haifeng held on tightly, applying slight pressure, and Xu Jingyan was pulled into his arms.
The man chuckled softly, "Miss Xu, I've been pursuing you for so long, even if your heart is made of ice, it should have melted by now, right?"
Xu Jingyan glared at him with her beautiful eyes, "Lu Haifeng, I've said it before, my heart only belongs to Lu Yanting. No matter how much you give, I will never like you! I advise you not to waste your time!"
Lu Haifeng wasn't angry; he just stared at her quietly. "Jingyan, why are you doing this?"
"It's none of your business. Anyway, don't waste your time on me!" Xu Jingyan said, then kicked Lu Haifeng, who then let go of her.
The man looked at her helplessly. "Jingyan, you're still too kind. Because I want to pursue you, I don't want Lu Yanting to break up with that woman. But if we're just friends, I would suggest you just make that woman disappear!"
As Lu Haifeng spoke, a murderous intent was hidden in his eyes. Xu Jingyan was, after all, a pampered young lady who never lifted a finger and could only play some petty tricks. It was the first time she had seen such a look in her eyes, and she was still startled.
"You...you mustn't do anything reckless!"
Actually, she was more afraid that this man would bring trouble to the Xu family.
Lu Haifeng smiled and said, "Don't worry, as I said, I don't want them to break up, so naturally I won't take action! But Jingyan, in the days to come, I will make you see Lu Yanting's heart clearly, and I will make you see that he is not worth your love!"
After the man finished speaking, he didn't wait for Xu Jingyan's reply and pushed open the Xu family's front door and went inside.
Not long after Zhang Guihua and Qiu Mang left, Xu Jingyan pushed open the door of the Lu family's house carrying tonics.
Upon seeing Xu Jingyan, Lu's mother was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes. "Jingyan, you're here! Come in and sit down!"
Xu Jingyan gave a polite smile and said, "Hello, Auntie. I heard that Uncle has returned from abroad. I hadn't seen him for so long, so I came to visit you."
A maid came up and took the tonic from Xu Jingyan's hands. Xu Jingyan walked over and sat down next to Lu Yanting.
"Did something happen? Why does everyone look so serious?" Xu Jingyan pretended not to know that Qiu Mang and Zhang Guihua had just left.
Lu Xinyue, being young and impatient, asked, "Sister Jingyan, do you know a girl named Qiu Mang? She..."
She glanced around, carefully choosing her words, "She...she seduced Brother Yanting. Luckily, Brother Yanting broke up with her, otherwise, our Lu family would have become the laughing stock of the entire Guangcheng!"
Xu Jingyan feigned ignorance, "Really? But I've met Qiu Mang a few times, and I think she's quite nice. How could she let the Lu family become a laughing stock?"
Lu Xinyue looked displeased and wanted to say something, but Lu Nian tugged at her sleeve, which shut her up.
Lu Nian smiled and said, "Jingyan, thank you for coming to see my dad. However, we have a lot going on at home lately, so we won't keep you any longer. You should go home now!"
Then Lu's mother remembered that they had gathered the Lu family together today to discuss the intimidation incident that had occurred that day.
In order not to drag Xu Jingyan into this, Lu's mother quickly said, "Yes, Jingyan, we still have things to discuss with the second branch of the family. Why don't you go back first?"
Seeing that no one welcomed her, Xu Jingyan couldn't help but feel a little sad. "Yan Ting, is it because of Qiu Mang that you're going to distance yourselves from me like this?"
“We’re doing this for your own good…” Lu Yanting didn’t even look up.
"Okay, I'm leaving!" Xu Jingyan said, and immediately walked out.
Watching Xu Jingyan's retreating figure, Lu Hui shook his head.
Back home, Xu Jingyan grew angrier the more she thought about it. She had underestimated Qiu Mang's importance in Lu Yanting's heart. Qiu Mang had such terrible parents, yet Lu Yanting didn't seem to care at all.
So, what do men care about most? How can she erase Qiu Mang from Lu Yanting's heart?
Holding a pen in her hand, she unconsciously drew the likeness of a little girl.
She stared at the little girl for a long time, then her eyes suddenly lit up. That's right! If Qiu Mang had a child, she didn't believe Lu Yanting would still be indifferent!
Thinking this, Xu Jingyan called Lu's mother. Lu's mother was simple-minded and began to suspect the relationship between Qiu Mang and Qiu Li after just a few words.
“Auntie, although I know Yanting doesn’t like me, I can’t bear to see him kept in the dark like this forever.”
Lu's mother felt a little sorry for him, "How could he not like it? You've been together for so many years, Yan Ting will always have a place for you in his heart."
“Auntie, let’s not talk about that. I saw Qiu Mang kick her parents out yesterday, and it made me feel really sad. Her parents look about the same age as my parents. I couldn’t bear to see them sleeping on the streets, so I found them a place to stay.”
When Lu's mother recalled Zhang Guihua's face, she was about to say something, but then she remembered Qiu Mang and Qiu Li's suspicious identities, so she swallowed her words.
“Auntie, in order to expose Qiu Mang’s true colors, let’s do a paternity test! That way, Brother Yanting will be able to give up.”
Xu Jingyan's words struck a chord with Lu's mother, but she was also a little worried, "But, it's not easy for us to get Qiu Mang's DNA."
