Transmigration: On the Gossip Front

Capítulo 1449: Chapter 1450: The Frustrated Eldest Mistress 59

Yao Na felt incredibly pleased after learning that Aifen’s sales were poor. During a trip to Hong Kong Island, she stopped by a mall to browse for good items.

She would never admit her real motive was to watch Zhang Yu’s situation unfold. But upon arriving at the mall and not finding Aifen, she began asking around.

That’s when she learned that a crowd had gathered around Aifen, which stunned her. “Wasn’t it said that business was bad?”

Indeed, last time people were mocking Zhang Yu, claiming she lacked the business acumen.

But if this qualified as poor business, she couldn’t imagine how good business would look.

Aifen’s shop assistants were run off their feet, dreaming of the day their own store might boom like this.

Business picked up unexpectedly and exceedingly well.

The neighboring shop assistants were dumbfounded, having initially thought it would be a short-lived success. Yet, they were amazed at how prosperous the business turned out to be.

It was merely a fledgling brand, yet people scrambled to grab it. Eventually, several assistants tried Aifen’s products and admitted they were pretty good.

But they couldn’t fathom how it compared to international brands — it was beyond comprehension.

One assistant returned mysteriously, “You know, back in Shencheng, Aifen already had clients though they didn’t expand significantly.”

“She had clients in Shencheng?” an assistant exclaimed.

Upon hearing this, Yao Na exclaimed too but swiftly exited before the assistants could turn their gaze towards her.

Right, she recalled Feng Hao once mentioned that Zhang Yu’s family was seen as a scholarly home but was actually involved in business. The details of it she never asked.

Could this be the business Feng Hao referred to? If so, it seemed like a lucrative venture.

Yao Na’s mind sparkled with an idea, feeling that being Mrs. Feng lacked delight and wealth.

The title “Mrs. Feng” felt cursed, bringing misfortune to anyone who bore it.

In that case, she might as well return the title of Mrs. Feng to Zhang Yu.

Once relinquishing the title, the people would stop criticizing her incessantly in front of Feng Hao.

She could then become Feng Hao’s favorite woman once more.

With that plan, a cheerful Yao Na promptly went to find Feng Hao.

When Feng Hao realized it was Yao Na again, he felt his head throb painfully, “She’s here again, what an omen.”

Merely thinking about her was bothersome, knowing she had an unlucky streak, yet she shamelessly sought him out.

Feng Hao didn’t want to see Yao Na, but she lingered at his doorstep hoping for better days.

She knew causing a scene would anger Feng Hao, but so long as she caused no fuss, he would have to endure it.

Feng Hao, despite his need for respect, couldn’t have Yao Na stand at the door any longer — countless people would poke fun at him.

Left with no choice, he let Yao Na inside.

He sat distanced from Yao Na, worried about how difficult she could be if she acted unpredictably — he really didn’t want to see her.

Feng Hao’s demeanor saddened Yao Na but fortified her resolve; she knew her position as Mrs. Feng was at risk.

Before Feng Hao could lash out, Yao Na explained her intent, showing anticipation for his response.

He wished he could punish himself for once seeing Yao Na as desirable — now all he saw were traps.

Feng Hao scoffed, “No way, considering each other’s status.”

He would never reconcile with Zhang Yu, as it would be humiliating, and even more detrimental to him.

Despite Feng’s house not as affluent as before, it was quite comfortable. Reassociating with Zhang Yu risked the family’s remaining assets.

Feng Hao squinted at Yao Na for ages, realizing the depth of her malicious intentions — she aimed to ruin him with this approach.

“Life’s good enough for me now, though not like before, but sufficient. During my time in the Mainland, life was excellent until your chaotic family intervened.”

Had it not been for the Yao Family, would he have been left to flee in despair?

“Such a cursed bunch.” Feng Hao thought of the servant’s report, “You’ve been in touch with the Yao Family, haven’t you?”

“Though you insist on bringing them here, I won’t object. But my money won’t support foes.”

“Invite them over, and that’s the moment of our divorce.”

Feng Hao desperately wanted to cut ties with Yao Na, so she and her problems would never be related again.

Seeing Feng Hao’s sour expression, Yao Na realized he knew everything. Who leaked the news?

In her effort to minimize exposure, she had been extremely cautious. How did Feng Hao find out?

Where was the breach — the servants? Impossible, she had been avoiding them due to their potential disloyalty. How did Feng Hao even find out?

Knowing Feng Hao was well-informed about her situation annoyed her profoundly.

Who divulged the details? Feng Hao wasn’t foolish; he wouldn’t betray his allies, “Don’t bother about who’s talking.”

“I know, it must be the eldest,” Yao Na quickly realized the suspect was Feng Yongyan.

She struggled with English and Cantonese, making information gathering beyond her reach without Feng Yongyan’s aid.

The child was smart, undoubtedly suspecting and despising the Yao Family, not wanting them in Harbor City.

Feng Hao remained tight-lipped, with zero response, “At any rate, you can’t bring the Yao Family here.”

“If you insist on bringing them, okay, surrender the house you’re living in.”

“My money won’t be used by the Yao Family.” Feng Hao reiterated firmly, “Don’t think my ties with the Mainland have severed since arriving on Hong Kong Island.”

He meant even if they came to Harbor City, he maintained Mainland contacts to easily discover Yao Family matters.

However, his words morphed unfavorably in Yao Na’s ears.

She speculated another possibility — Feng Hao received the info from a Mainland source. Yes, that had to be it, otherwise, how else he’d know?

“You can’t hide it, surely aware of your three sons who hold no affection for the Yao Family.” Read full story at Novᴇl_Fire(.)net

Yao Na grew ever less certain about who spoke, realizing the Yao Family’s arrival in Harbor City wasn’t her foremost concern anymore; she just needed to know who betrayed her.
