"Wait... I... I need money."
These words were incredibly difficult for Xia Bingqing, who had once been a wealthy heiress, to say, but she had no choice but to.
"You want more money?" Liang Xiaoru complained. "I've already given you hundreds of thousands of yuan."
“I spent a lot of money buying those snakes... plus the cleanup and other expenses, that little money wasn’t enough. Besides, I’m in some trouble now and I need money to settle things.”
“Money is a small matter to me now, but I’m spending my husband’s money. My husband’s money didn’t come from nowhere; it was earned bit by bit. How can anyone stand the way you spend it?”
Liang Xiaoru remembered being insulted by Xia Bingqing more than once when she asked her for money before. Now that Xia Bingqing was asking her for money, she was determined to get revenge.
“This money is all for dealing with our common enemy, and I believe you can understand that.”
"That's true, but I've given you so much money, and I haven't seen you do anything about it. You wouldn't be using my money to eat, drink, and have fun, or to fill that huge hole in your family's coffers, would you?"
"You...I didn't."
Xia Bingqing clenched her fists tightly. She, who had always been proud and arrogant, had never suffered such humiliation. She had never humbled herself like this because of money.
Damn it! Does she think she's something just because she has some money now?! If she didn't have to rely on Liang Xiaoru right now, she wouldn't be putting up with this kind of treatment here!
Liang Xiaoru found Xia Bingqing's submissive behavior incredibly satisfying. She pulled a card from her bag, threw it on the ground, and smiled contemptuously. "Same as always, there's 200,000 in the card, and the PIN is the same as before. The previous money is gone, but I want to see results with this money. If you take my money and fail to get things done, I won't let you off the hook."
"Don't worry, I hate that person just as much as you do, and I'll make her suffer."
"That's good."
Liang Xiaoru walked out of the shop with her head held high and her chest out.
Xia Bingqing suppressed her anger, took a few deep breaths, and picked up the card from the ground. She would remember today's humiliation and hold it all accountable to Yi Yi.
...
Half a month has passed, but there has been no progress. Despite Li Ma's presence, the servants in the villa still discuss what happened that night in private, and all sorts of rumors are circulating.
Besides this, some people say that Yi Yi got her current position by using seductive arts to snatch it from Xia Bingqing.
According to these rumors, Xia Bingqing and Mu Nanxun were childhood sweethearts who had developed feelings for each other and were about to get married. However, Yi Yi interfered, seducing Mu Nanxun while working at the Mu family's house and sleeping with him. This forced him to break up with his childhood sweetheart and marry Yi Yi instead.
The more sensational and outrageous such rumors are, the more people will believe them.
On the contrary, Li Ma's repeated explanations only made these people feel that the more she explained, the worse it got.
In an instant, dozens of servants throughout the villa were still outwardly serving Yi Yi, but the way they looked at her had changed.
Their eyes were filled with contempt and mockery, as if they had all witnessed how Yi Yi used despicable means to seduce Mu Nanxun, becoming the mistress and the mistress of the house.
Li Ma had a big argument with several servants about this, punishing and reprimanding them, but the rumors did not stop; instead, they intensified.
