To Mrs. Liu, she isn’t like Xiutao, whose concerns lead to chaos. Because she truly worries Zhou Yuni might reveal her connections with the Luo Family, causing many future problems, she isn’t focused on deducing Zhou Yuni’s identity at the mont, but rather on how to gather the money to seal Zhou Yuni’s lips.
And as Mrs. Liu listened on the side, hearing Zhou Yuni clearly understanding the relationships within the Luo Family, she beca imdiately suspicious and confird one thing.
She believes that soone understanding the Luo Family’s affairs so clearly and knowing the relationship between Xiutao and the Luo Family must be extrely close to them.
Moreover, given her sowhat understanding of the Luo Family and Zhou Yuni’s hatred towards Xiutao, Mrs. Liu faintly guessed Zhou Yuni’s connection.
Therefore, after Zhou Yuni left, Mrs. Liu didn’t go to Xiu Tao’s house but secretly followed Zhou Yuni to ascertain her identity.
Later, upon seeing Zhou Yuni returned to Luo Dashan’s place, Mrs. Liu made so inquiries and confird her guess that Zhou Yuni was indeed Luo Zhiyong’s foster mother.
To Mrs. Liu, this was truly heaven’s favor. She not only had Luo Zhiyong’s biological mother over there but now also an avaricious foster mother, and from the look of it, soone willing to do anything for money. Mrs. Liu suddenly felt that perhaps this foster mother was more useful than the biological mother.
Because greedy people are actually the easiest to control, after all, their Liu family doesn’t lack that small amount of money for now.
But just in case, after returning ho, Mrs. Liu further cross-examined Liu Fengsheng and roughly uncovered Zhou Yuni’s character.
After learning about Zhou Yuni’s previous notoriety, Mrs. Liu felt a mix of joy and worry. The joy was that it would definitely be no problem bribing Zhou Yuni, but the worry was whether such a person like Zhou Yuni would still carry weight when speaking in front of Luo Zhiyong and the others.
However, thinking it over, there was no other way now but to take a risky move and give it a try.
Thus, the next morning, Mrs. Liu was waiting downstairs at Luo Dashan’s place, and when Zhou Yuni went out to buy groceries, she approached her.
Mrs. Liu sized up Zhou Yuni and asked, "Are you Fang Pingying’s mother-in-law?"
Upon hearing Fang Pingying’s na, Zhou Yuni beca inexplicably angry and glared at Mrs. Liu, "Yes, who are you?"
Mrs. Liu imdiately smiled and pointed to a less crowded spot nearby, "Good, follow , I have sothing to discuss with you."
Zhou Yuni was sowhat guarded and initially unwilling to go, defensively saying, "Who are you? Why should I go with you? I’m not going."
Mrs. Liu had her thods. She gave a faint smile, went close to Zhou Yuni, and said, "Want Xiu Tao’s US$ 3,000? If so, follow ."
Seeing that Mrs. Liu actually knew about this, Zhou Yuni looked around imdiately to make sure nobody was paying attention, then dragged Mrs. Liu to a quiet corner and frowned, asking, "Who are you?"
Mrs. Liu didn’t reveal her true identity, only said simply, "I’m a relative of Xiu Tao. Xiu Tao told about your situation."
"Since you’re a relative, that’s good." Zhou Yuni assud Mrs. Liu ca to deliver money, looked Mrs. Liu up and down smugly, "Judging by your clothes, you must have gathered the money, right?"
Mrs. Liu pulled her lips slightly, smiling, "US$ 3,000 is certainly no big deal for . I can give it to you anyti, but you must agree to do one thing for , and upon completion, I’ll add US$ 500."
Zhou Yuni wasn’t foolish. After a brief pause, she imdiately realized who should have the upper hand in this matter and looked sarcastically at Mrs. Liu, "Do you think you have the right to negotiate terms with ?"
"If not, then forget it; let’s stand separately." Mrs. Liu spoke bluntly, "You truly believe you can threaten Xiutao? For years, Xiutao hasn’t cared about Luo Zhiyong; what do you think she feels for him? All that’s left is so guilt. But if you propose a condition she could easily fulfill, she may wish to alleviate that guilt. However, if she can’t fulfill your condition, do you think she’d care about guilt? She could very well allow you to tarnish Luo Zhiyong’s image."
Mrs. Liu, having acquired information from Liu Fengsheng, knew Zhou Yuni and Luo Zhiyong didn’t have a good relationship. She calmly continued, "In fact, given your status, you wouldn’t dare defa Luo Zhiyong publicly. From what I know, you’re still relying on Luo Zhiyong, correct? Even your threats to Xiutao are likely unknown to the Luo Family."
"You..." Zhou Yuni hadn’t expected Xiutao to find such a formidable character, thoroughly investigating her side of the story, and she imdiately wanted to retort.
However, when it ca to a clear mind, Mrs. Liu had it all planned out, having seen much of the world over the years, clearly organized the matter in her mind, and straightforwardly interrupted Zhou Yuni, softly smiling with a slightly threatening tone, "I wonder, should this matter be known to Luo Zhiyong or even Luo Dashan, what consequences might you face."
"You..." Zhou Yuni was silenced, as indeed, she had nothing to say and dared not let the Luo Family know all the matters.
"So, promise one thing, and I’ll give you the money imdiately." Seizing the mont, Mrs. Liu began persuading, "Don’t worry, it’s not difficult, and on the contrary, accomplishing it might win you a good reputation, ensuring no one in the Luo Family would resent you."
"Let’s hear it." Naturally, Zhou Yuni wouldn’t let such a good opportunity slip.
Mrs. Liu simply stated, "Exert your utmost effort to help Xiutao and Luo Zhiyong reconcile, allowing Luo Zhiyong to accept this biological mother."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuni imdiately objected, "Are you crazy? If he accepts his biological mother, what about ?"
Mrs. Liu, hearing this, gently shook her head, listing out the consequences if Zhou Yuni managed to accomplish this task, "First, even if Luo Zhiyong doesn’t accept his biological mother now because of your past actions, Luo Zhiyong hasn’t seen you as a mother for years, nor does Fang Pingying recognize you as her mother-in-law. If you continue like this, you might end up with nothing in the end."
"Second, if he accepts his biological mother, you can obtain a sum of money from . Just imagine how much you could do with that amount, it’s enough even for your retirent."
"Third, assisting in their reconciliation may cause both Luo Dashan and Luo Zhiyong to view you differently, thinking you’ve truly bettered yourself."
"Fourth, most importantly, I assure you, regardless of whether Xiutao and Luo Zhiyong reconcile, Xiutao will not return to be with Luo Dashan now that she has a family and children. Her family would certainly not allow it."
