Xu He saw through Liu Fengsheng's thoughts and knew he didn't want to get into trouble. She wore a mocking smile on her lips, stopped him, and without avoiding Zhou Yuni, she said directly, "Liu Fengsheng, since you've co to , we all know what this is about. Let's not try to clean it up; let's talk right here—it doesn't matter."
Liu Fengsheng, caught by Xu He's words, stopped in his tracks, but his eyes remained fixed on Zhou Yuni, wanting to understand what the situation was.
Although he hadn't had direct dealings with Zhou Yuni, they were acquainted. He couldn't figure out why Xu He was involving Zhou Yuni here.
Xu He saw the look in his eyes but didn't explain the entanglent between her and Zhou Yuni, rely saying, "This person doesn't matter. Even though she's Fang Pingying's mother-in-law, she's also Fang Pingying's nesis. She's in this situation today because of Fang Pingying, so I believe she won't side with Fang Pingying."
After a slight pause, Xu He let Liu Fengsheng into the house and pointed at Zhou Yuni with a relaxed face, saying, "Besides, she's already bound like this by and won't escape my grasp."
"That works." Liu Fengsheng thought Xu He's words made sense and decided not to dwell on it. He directly ntioned Fang Pingying, "I ca here today to tell you that I agree to what you've proposed. You decide how it goes. Fang Pingying isn't soone easy to deal with, and now she has power and resources—she likely won't be easily fooled."
In fact, although Xu He had always wanted revenge on Fang Pingying, she hadn't had a specific plan before, as Fang Pingying's shrewdness and current standing made it difficult to fool her.
However, eting Zhou Yuni today, Xu He imdiately thought of a good way to lure Fang Pingying. She smiled slightly and looked at Liu Fengsheng, saying, "I was worried about this before, but now I have a way."
Then she pointed slightly at Zhou Yuni, "We don't need to invite Fang Pingying personally. Let her go instead."
Earlier, Zhou Yuni noticed a man suddenly ca in and was a bit confused.
She didn't know if she'd t Liu Fengsheng before, just felt he looked familiar but couldn't recall where. However, she understood clearly he was Xu He's accomplice.
As she listened to their conversation, she was pondering how it seed they were plotting against Fang Pingying, wondering what their true intentions were.
She was a bit worried whether they were conspiring to harm Fang Pingying's life or sothing else. Although she really despised Fang Pingying, she was still a bit scared when it ca to taking a life.
Seeing Xu He pointing at her, she beca flustered and stamred, "Invite what, do what, what do you want to do?"
Xu He didn't directly answer her but gave her a sly smile, "Zhou Yuni, let's make a deal."
"What deal?"
Xu He thought for a mont and replied, "You help us with one thing, and after you do it, our past grudges will be written off. No matter how I fall apart later, I won't trouble you anymore. Plus, not only will I return the money to you, I'll give you extra. How about that?"
ntioning money, Zhou Yuni's mind stirred. She knew earning those two thousand yuan wasn't easy and felt heartbroken when Xu He took it. Hearing there might be more, she almost imdiately asked, "What do you want to do?"
Xu He spoke easily, "Don't worry, it won't be a big deal. A very simple task. I have so scores to settle with Fang Pingying, but with my current status, I can't settle them openly. I need soone to bring Fang Pingying here to settle things."
"What about him?" Zhou Yuni pointed at Liu Fengsheng, aning why not have him bring Fang Pingying over.
"You don't recognize him?" Xu He noticed Zhou Yuni seed not to know Liu Fengsheng and curiously asked, "He used to live upstairs from Fang Pingying and even fought with Luo Zhiyong over her. Plus, he's Luo Zhiyong's relative; he's the nephew of Luo Zhiyong's biological mother."
"I rember now; no wonder he looks familiar." Zhou Yuni wasn't slow and quickly figured out the connection. She asked Liu Fengsheng, "You're from the Liu family, aren't you?"
"That's right." Liu Fengsheng nodded, aware of the relationship and not surprised Zhou Yuni knew his identity.
Upon hearing he's from the Liu family, Zhou Yuni rembered Mrs. Liu's inconsistency and showed anger on her face. But soon, she understood why Liu Fengsheng might want to settle scores with Fang Pingying and said knowingly,
"No wonder there's conflict with Fang Pingying. Your mother always tried to cozy up to Fang Pingying but got played by her. Heard your family faces disaster because Fang Pingying refused to help, right?"
"That's indeed the case." Liu Fengsheng had just co from ho and was well aware of his mother's troubles with Fang Pingying.
It was partly because Fang Pingying refused to help that Liu Fengsheng found her terribly heartless, solidifying his decision to partner with Xu He.
Seeing Zhou Yuni understood the whole story, Xu He said, "So we both can't go find Fang Pingying; you must handle this."
Having understood everything, Zhou Yuni asked no further questions but inwardly weighed whether she should carry out the task.
Initially, Zhou Yuni was hesitant and quite worried sothing major might happen. She cautiously asked Xu He, "What exactly do you want from her? You're not planning to kill her, right?"
"How could that be? We don't have such deep-seated hatred to go to that extent, just want to vent so anger." Xu He's words reassured Zhou Yuni. Seeing her still hesitant, Xu He flashed her eyes and added, "Zhou Yuni, as far as I know, you have as much hatred towards Fang Pingying as we do. Surely, you've harbored a grudge against her but felt powerless to get revenge. Don't you want to take this chance to release your resentnt?"
"Well..." It was undeniable that Xu He was indeed cunning. Her words fully struck Zhou Yuni's sore point.
The grudge between Zhou Yuni and Fang Pingying could almost be described as irreconcilable. In her eyes, without Fang Pingying, her life would have been as happy as before.
For instance, despite living in the countryside, Luo Zhiyong diligently sent money ho every month. As his salary increased, so did the living expenses, which were entirely under Zhou Yuni's control. Everyone in the family listened to her, and things were done as she said, bringing her imnse joy.
