Wang Xiaolan said to Yu Wenlin, "Mom, take Dabao and Xiaobao into the inner room. I'll take care of things here."
Before leaving, Yu Wenlin reminded her, "Nannan, this Li Mei is not a good person. She used to be in cahoots with Zeng Weiwei. You must be careful of her."
Wang Xiaolan said, "Don't worry, Mom. I've seen a lot of people like this. She's no match for me."
Yu Wenlin, take the two children into the inner room.
Wang Xiaolan asked, "Li Mei, what is your purpose in coming to my house?"
Li Mei pulled the woman next to her and said, "Let me introduce you first. This is my cousin, Li Fengjiao. She is currently a secretary in the Personnel Department of Bureau X."
She looked at Wang Xiaolan with a smug look on her face and said, "She has a lot of power. You'd better be careful. She's someone you can't afford to offend."
Wang Xiaolan turned her head slightly and quickly glanced at Li Mei beside her out of the corner of her eye. A disdainful smile rose at the corner of her mouth and she said lightly, "Humph! What's the point of you telling me this? I don't have anything to ask of her. What's the point of you showing off in front of me? It's nothing more than making me look up to you."
Li Mei was irritated by Wang Xiaolan's words and was about to lose her temper when Li Fengjiao stopped her. She smiled and said, "Comrade Wang, Xiaomei is ignorant. Don't bother with her."
After listening to Li Fengjiao's words, Wang Xiaolan turned her gaze to Li Fengjiao.
Li Fengjiao was of medium build, neither tall nor short. Her oval face was framed by a pair of slightly bushy eyebrows. Her eyes, while not particularly large, weren't unattractive upon closer inspection.
Judging from her overall appearance, Li Fengjiao was around 26 years old. Objectively speaking, she wasn't a stunning beauty, but rather someone who wouldn't stand out in a crowd, but still left a certain impression.
Li Fengjiao noticed Wang Xiaolan staring at her and immediately puffed out her chest, putting on a leadership demeanor and saying with a grin, "Comrade Wang Xiaolan, I've known you for a long time and have always wanted to come see you, but I just haven't had the time. My cousin is always talking about you to me, and today I happened to be at the National Security Bureau on some business, so I came here with her. I didn't realize my cousin had pissed you off at cram school, otherwise I wouldn't have asked her to come with me to your house. I'm here to apologize on her behalf."
Wang Xiaolan immediately said, "Is it necessary? She's already here, what are you talking about?"
Li Mei became displeased upon hearing this and said, "Why should I apologize to her? Cousin, you don't have to be like this..."
Li Fengjiao winked at her, and Li Mei immediately swallowed back the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
Wang Xiaolan had actually noticed the little actions between the two of them a long time ago, but she did not expose it immediately. Instead, she secretly found it funny in her heart.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, with a smile on her lips. Then she looked straight at Li Fengjiao and said, "Comrade Li, I have always been a straightforward person who says what I think. I hate people who beat around the bush and refuse to speak directly the most! So, if you have something to tell me, just say it out loud. If you don't have anything, I'm sorry, I don't have time to waste time with you here." After that, Wang Xiaolan crossed her arms and looked impatient.
When Li Fengjiao saw that Wang Xiaolan was about to ask them to leave, she quickly said, "Comrade Wang, don't be like this. I really want to talk to you about something."
Wang Xiaolan blinked, her face full of confusion as she said, "I'm just an ordinary citizen, and you're a high-ranking official in the municipal government. How dare you ask me for something? I'm not someone who holds great power. You're really flattering me. You two can go now!"
Li Fengjiao said with certainty, "Even someone with great power might not be able to do this."
Wang Xiaolan blinked her eyes and asked curiously, "My only skill is curing illnesses. Are you ill? Can I treat you?"
Li Mei on the side quickly said: "Pooh, pooh, my cousin is not sick..."
Li Fengjiao interrupted Li Mei and said, "Comrade Wang, don't listen to her nonsense."
Wang Xiaolan frowned irritably and yelled in a bad tone, "Hey, can you guys just be more straightforward? If you have something to say, just say it to me right away. If you have any issues, just get rid of them right away. Don't you know my time is precious? I can't just sit around doing nothing like you guys do!"
Li Fengjiao, who was standing aside, became more and more anxious when she saw Wang Xiaolan being so impatient.
Li Mei said from the side: "Cousin, tell me! What's there to be afraid of?"
Li Fengjiao's lips trembled slightly, but no sound came out.
Wang Xiaolan looked at her, as if she wanted to say something but didn't, and said, "If you don't want to say it, I won't force you, then you can go!"
She took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to speak: "Comrade Wang, I... let me tell you the truth! Actually... actually I am Zhu Dayong's wife." After saying this, Li Fengjiao lowered her head with a flushed face, her hands twisted together nervously, as if waiting for Wang Xiaolan's response.
When Wang Xiaolan heard it was Zhu Dayong, she cursed inwardly, "Zhu Dayong, you're such a jerk! Besides harassing me yourself, you actually encouraged your wife to come to my house and harass me. This is outrageous."
Thinking of this, Wang Xiaolan's eyes widened, her face suddenly darkening. She said unfriendlyly, "You came to see me? Who do you think you are? Did he hide anything from you about us before you got married?"
Li Fengjiao said, "He didn't hide anything from me."
Wang Xiaolan raised her eyebrows, opened her eyes wide, and shouted angrily: "Since you had already made the choice to give up the right to raise Dabao back then, why are you still pestering me like this today! Do you really think that I, Wang Xiaolan, am a soft persimmon that can be squeezed by anyone? Can you manipulate me at will? Humph!" She was so angry that her chest heaved violently, like a volcano about to erupt.
Li Fengjiao hurriedly said, "Comrade Wang, I'm not like that."
Wang Xiaolan stared at her and asked, "What do you want?"
Li Fengjiao, who was standing in front of her, seemed a little aggrieved and said softly, "Comrade Wang, don't be angry. I'm not here to continue to dwell on the past, but I have other important things to discuss with you." As she spoke, she timidly looked up at Wang Xiaolan's angry face, then quickly lowered her head.
Wang Xiaolan said, "I can guess what you said even if I use my toes. I don't have the answer you want. Please go away! You are not welcome here." As she said that, she was about to open the door to see the guests off.
