Chapter 282: 282 Ye Cheng is better than any man (Second Update)
Zhang Zerong reflexively struck back, "You filthy bitch, what gives you the right to hit me? I haven’t even hit you back for your betrayal of the Wu Family, and yet you dare strike me! Do you no longer wish to live?"
No sooner had he finished than another firm slap landed on his face. Xiaofeng looked at him with icy eyes, "Mr. Zhang, if you can’t speak properly, I wouldn’t mind teaching you how."
Zhang Zerong looked at her incredulously, he hadn’t seen how her palm had fallen or how she’d managed to strike him.
He....
"What gives you the right to hit me?" He hadn’t laid a hand on her; why should she strike first? If it had been any day before today, anyone who dared to hit him would have been retaliated against until they wanted to cry.
"Didn’t I just explain? You don’t know how to speak, so I need to teach you how to. Not to be blunt, but Mr. Zhang, your level of conversation might just be the reason Mr. Wu is in trouble," Xiaofeng retorted.
Zhang Zerong, a man known for his vanity and lecherous ways, not to mention his penchant for boasting.
"You’re spouting nonsense." Zhang Zerong obviously couldn’t take the blame for this; such an accusation could make his sister hate him to death. "This must be your doing. If not for you, how could my brother-in-law have gotten into trouble?"
He had wanted to continue slurring her, but confronted with Su Xiaofeng’s cold gaze and the burning sensation on his face, he dared not mention it again.
This Su Xiaofeng was somewhat eerie; he hadn’t even seen how she made her move, and yet her slap had firmly met his face, the force behind it nothing minor, causing a painful sting.
"Uncle," Wu Yifan hadn’t expected Xiaofeng to strike either, but considering Uncle was throwing around words like "bitch" left and right, it wasn’t nice to hear, so it made sense that Xiaofeng reacted. "I believe in Xiaofeng. This has absolutely nothing to do with her."
"Yifan, she wanted to marry you before, but because she was pregnant, your mother and grandmother rejected her. Perhaps she harbors resentment and has been looking for a chance to retaliate against our family. Yifan, you need to keep your eyes open and not be fooled by her. We still don’t know the status of your father, and before this, we must find out who the accuser is, to make him admit that everything he reported is unfounded and nonexistent."
Yifan was part of the Wu Family; how could he speak up for outsiders?
"Yes, Yifan. You are the eldest; our family’s fate rests on you. You can’t afford to lose your judgment, being seduced by a woman," Zhang Jiaojiao lamented internally, regretting not keeping a closer watch on Ershun, who still led Yifan to Su Xiaofeng.
She knew Yifan’s temperament best—he rarely advocated for others. His current defense of Xiaofeng might have ulterior motives.
"Yes, Yifan," Zhang Zerong echoed, "It’s a critical moment for the Wu Family; you can’t afford to be emotional. Anyway, I find Su Xiaofeng very suspicious, and we absolutely must not relax our scrutiny towards her."
The fact that Su Xiaofeng had previously threatened his sister over this very issue was reason enough to suspect her.
"Mom, Uncle, it’s good that you understand this is not the time to be emotional. Father’s incident happening at this time can’t be a coincidence; someone must have been plotting for a long time. Besides, with Dad in a high position, it’s not unusual for someone to always be monitoring his every move. Given that someone dared to report this, they definitely wouldn’t let the Wu Family know who it was, meaning the enemy is hidden while we are exposed. We have no idea how the enemy will continue to attack the Wu Family next," he explained.
Hearing this, Zhang Jiaojiao’s vision nearly blacked out, cursing whoever wanted to harm the Wu Family: "Yifan, with Dad not here, you are the main support of the family. How should we handle this situation?"
As long as Elder Wu was safe, the Wu Family would be fine. Should anything happen to him, the entire family would become the laughingstock of the county.
"Therefore, we must not fall into disarray ourselves first. We need to stay calm and let everyone know that Dad did nothing wrong and will surely return unblemished. We must not panic, and certainly, we can’t just seek any desperate remedies.
Xiaofeng, listening to Wu Yifan’s words, truly felt he was mature beyond his years, dealing with situations calmly and unflinchingly, a sure mark of a great general had he been in a time of war.
"As long as Mr. Wu is innocent, we naturally have nothing to fear." People usually at odds with the Wu Family certainly existed, but such matters couldn’t rely merely on speculation; evidence was also essential.
Moreover, the act of reporting itself was not wrong—it all depended on whether the accusations held any truth. If they were baseless, there was nothing to fear.
If there indeed were issues, it could only mean that the Wu Family was unfortunate to have been caught at a disadvantage, and Wu Yifan also needed to prepare for the worst.
"You make it sound so easy," Zhang Jiaojiao coldly snorted a sentence. "In these kinds of situations, there’s no right or wrong. I know that if someone wants to cause trouble, they can fabricate evidence. The Wu Family has been diligent for many years. Who knows whether the people below have executed the orders seriously or deliberately ignored them, just waiting to turn back on you years later."
Ignoring Zhang Jiaojiao’s words, Xiaofeng looked at Wu Yifan, "What are your plans for this matter? If you need help, just ask."
The food factory was able to develop to this point with the help of Yifan and Ershun, so naturally, she wouldn’t stand idly by if the Wu Family needed help.
"The Wu Family’s troubles are none of your business, and it’s best you don’t get involved," Wu Yifan always felt this matter wasn’t so simple.
"Exactly, you’re a woman, moreover a woman with a bad reputation, please don’t get tangled with our Wu Family. Once tangled, our Wu Family might indeed have a hard time clearing things up." If someone alleges right now that the baby inside Xiaofeng is Old Wu’s...
Thinking this, Zhang Jiaojiao startled herself with her own thoughts. How could she think such a thing? But if she could think of it, perhaps others could too.
"The ones who know about my contacts with your family are just a few people. If someone redirects this on me, it should be beneficial for you guys," Xiaofeng said.
Listening to Xiaofeng’s words, Wu Yifan’s eyebrows slightly knitted together, then thinking of something, he walked outside, "I’m going to find out more about the situation."
Seeing her son leave, Zhang Jiaojiao didn’t forget to warn Xiaofeng, "You are Dr. Ye’s wife, and although you are a benefactor to our family, you should be clear about what you can and cannot do."
Her son was young, but she was experienced and naturally should think ahead in some matters. freewebnσvel.cøm
"In my heart, Ye Cheng is superior to any man. I’m not blind, and after marrying him, why would I think about others? Moreover, the Wu Family is in such a state now. You worrying about someone coveting your son is something you can probably set aside for now."
Those who covet the Wu Family’s heritage wouldn’t entangle with them at this time.
Listeneing to her words, Zhang Jiaojiao glared, and said irritably to Zhang Zerong, "I don’t think it’s her, she lacks the capability anyway."
Seeing everyone had left, Mei Sanying poured a cup of water for Xiaofeng, "Please sit down and eat, the food is getting cold."
After eating, Xiaofeng rested at home for a while, then went to the factory.
Not long after she arrived at the factory, several well-dressed individuals from some agency came looking for her to ask about Mr. Wu’s situation and forced her to cooperate. If she didn’t answer honestly, they would take her to the police station to let the police question her.
Xiaofeng sat opposite them, her expression gentle, calm and composed.
"Miss Su, from what we understand, your husband, Ye Cheng, treated Mr. Wu’s eldest son, Wu Yifan, and after Yifan recovered, you and Ye Cheng became benefactors of the Wu Family. Is that correct?" The person took out a red notebook, opened the pen cap, and began to record as if preparing for something.
"That’s right."
"We heard that after Ye Cheng treated Wu Yifan, the Wu Family tried every means to help you, and we understand that your food factory’s success stems from half the support of the Wu Family. Is this true?" The person led Xiaofeng into disclosing details, clearly attempting to stir up trouble.
"Comrade, the way you ask that. I have the capability to open a factory, and that surely comes from my own abilities. Besides, I wasn’t even married to Ye Cheng before opening the factory. Why would the Wu Family help me for no reason?" Indeed, Ershun helped with the factory, but Ershun is Ershun and Mr. Wu is Mr. Wu; they are different concepts.
Looking at Su Xiaofeng, who was known to be clever and cunning according to prior comments, her tone clearly indicated an intention to disassociate herself from the Wu Family.
Some relationships can’t simply be severed by declaring them so.
The person asked again, "According to what we’ve learned, after Ye Cheng cured Wu Yifan, the Wu Family was grateful and looked for opportunities to gift something to Dr. Ye. Last month, when you and Ye Cheng were shopping in the city, a dispute arose with some shareholders, and suddenly unidentifiable individuals took your side and even purchased the entire mall to gift it to you. Is that correct?"
Understanding the purpose of their visit now, Xiaofeng listened intently.
