Chapter 498 - 399 The Clown Cavorting on Beams (Second Update)
"Su Xiaofeng, don’t threaten me," Lin Jing said, bolstered by having Xu Xuezi standing beside her. "When it comes to the law, I am not less informed than you. These are real occurrences that can be verified. What I’m saying is the genuine truth, so there’s no question of slander here."
She tilted her head up, like a rooster ready for battle, fully combative.
Xu Xuezi casually picked up a newspaper and scanned the content, "Ah, I truly didn’t expect the Young Madam of the Gu Family, so young yet already with such a storied past. Truly, appearances are deceiving, just like the ocean is unfathomable."
"Xu Xuezi, tell me, what is the purpose of bringing Lin Jing with you today?" Xiaofeng said. "It surely isn’t just to mock me."
"You should know what I want," Xu Xuezi stated flatly. "Su Xiaofeng, once this newspaper is published, your name will be tarnished all over town, and your bad reputation will definitely affect Ye Cheng too. That’s my intention. Surprising, isn’t it?"
"Clever, indeed. To pull me down, the mighty Xu Family has gone so far as to plant a murderer near my kin and uses malicious defamation as well," Xiaofeng retorted. "Just for this, the Xu Family will never be more than second-rate. Do you know why? Because you think too small."
So much effort had been put into causing her trouble.
"It’s funny that you, a woman grown up in the countryside, are talking to me about ’vision’. Do you even know what vision is? To deal with a shameless woman like you, special measures are required," Xu Xuezi taunted.
"Xiaofeng, you are truly not the material for Young Madam of the Gu Family or the lady of the house. Besides, the children you bore are not even the young master of the Gu Family’s. You should gracefully step aside and let someone suitable take your place," Lin Jing said earnestly, feigning concern.
Xiaofeng, chin propped on her hand, watched them thoughtfully. They played their parts well together.
