Wang Mudan had a stern face since she entered the private room. Her eyes were full of resentment and disdain towards Luo Yingtao. Luo Yingtao knew that she had always been smooth and sophisticated, and her style today was so different. She just wanted to show her power. She couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.
Although she had prepared herself mentally, before the conversation even started, Luo Yingtao still couldn't figure out what evidence Wang Mudan had and why she had gone to such great lengths to come all the way from Nanzhong City to accuse her.
Luo Yingtao looked at Wang Mudan timidly and whispered, "Mudan, we've known each other for so many years, and we know each other well. Let's be frank and not beat around the bush. Just tell me directly, what brings you to see me on such a cold day?"
Wang Mudan smiled coldly: "Why am I here? You should have guessed it, right?"
"I can't guess. Just say what you want to say." Luo Yingtao pretended to be tough and practiced Tai Chi. Logically, she was the one at fault, but she didn't want to admit defeat easily.
Wang Mudan's eyes were wide open, and her thin face was as gloomy as the sky before a storm. There seemed to be a fire burning fiercely in her chest, burning with her most intense hatred. Sparks of anger burst out and directly burned Luo Yingtao's face. She felt a stinging pain and lowered her head involuntarily.
Wang Mudan's voice was low but powerful. She coldly pierced Luo Yingtao's heart with every word she said: "If I don't talk to you again, are you going to set my yard on fire?"
Luo Yingtao was mortified by Wang Mudan's attacks, but she was unwilling to admit defeat: "Mudan, don't be so sarcastic. I don't have that ability."
Her tone was full of gunpowder, even though she was called a "fox spirit" in this love triangle.
She used her beauty to exchange for Si Mingda's money, but she thought that it was a matter of mutual consent, and she and Si Mingda each got what they needed, so Wang Mudan should not put all the blame on her.
To ease the tense atmosphere in the private room, Luo Yingtao served freshly brewed jasmine tea, tried her best to calm her nerves, poured a cup of tea for Wang Mudan, and said slowly, "Mudan, we've been classmates for many years. I know I've let you down. Whatever you have to say, I will accept it in its entirety. Stop beating around the bush and tell me the reason for your visit today."
"Hmph! That's straightforward." Wang Mudan sneered, picked up the teacup and took a sip, saying, "You still have a conscience. You know I like jasmine tea."
"To be honest, you are the person in our dormitory that I admire the most. Whether it's being a person or doing things, you always come out on top. I am ashamed of myself."
Luo Yingtao spoke humbly. In fact, she was speaking from the heart. Putting aside her emotional entanglement with Si Mingda, Wang Mudan's character and business ability really made her feel ashamed of herself.
"You're becoming more and more eloquent than before. You're pretty, sweet-mouthed, and good at coaxing people. No wonder Simingda loses his mind when he sees you."
Wang Mudan's direct sarcasm made Luo Yingtao's scalp numb with embarrassment. Although she tried her best to hide her inner panic, her face couldn't help but feel hot. Although there were only two of them in the private room, she felt as embarrassed as if she had been slapped in public.
"Peony, as long as you can vent your anger, go ahead and curse me as much as you want. I can handle it."
Wang Mudan came here today to call for an explanation. In her eyes, Luo Yingtao was no longer the rich girl who happily shared apples, biscuits and snacks with them in dormitory 508. Her poor family background and unhappy marriage had made her shameless and she had lost the basic bottom line of being a human being. She would do anything for money and even blatantly intervened in the financial system of Mingdan Company. She really underestimated the means of this old classmate.
"You guessed right. I came here today to put an end to the relationship between the three of us. We have known each other for so many years and understand each other's personalities and tempers very well. At this point, there is no need for me to hide anything. I hope you will take the initiative to leave Simingda and not have any contact with him in the future. Jiang Nanmu told me that he cherishes your family and loves your son very much. We are all mothers. For the sake of our children, let's end this ugly game as soon as possible."
Wang Mudan's every word was powerful, and every word hit Luo Yingtao's heart like a hammer. She admitted that she was wrong, but she still wanted to defend herself: "Mudan, I contacted Simingda just to ask him to help me get some business. He has a wide network of contacts, and your family is wealthy and powerful. You don't understand how difficult it is for our small business. Before Simingda helped me, my income was less than that of a part-time job. I really only wanted to make money and never thought of destroying your marriage."
"Okay, Luo Yingtao, stop playing innocent. We're both in our thirties, and we're not fools when it comes to relationships. Don't think that just because I've been keeping quiet, it means I know nothing about your relationship. To be honest, it's not that I can't bear to part with Si Mingda. I don't want a divorce for the sake of my three children, who need a father's love. Put yourself in their shoes, who doesn't want their children to grow up in a healthy family? We both have families, so why should we play this kind of immoral emotional game? Do you think it's fun?"
Wang Mudan's relentless scolding left Luo Yingtao's face bruised and pale. She instinctively wanted to escape this awkward conversation, but thinking of the financial benefits she couldn't give up and her soon-to-be-realized dream of buying a house, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and "take up the fight." "Mudan, I admit it was my fault for contacting Simingda, but I also have something to say, and I hope you'll listen."
