Chapter 1870 - 1888: Ding Meichen (Part 10)
Shen Zian has been dead for twenty years, but her former comrades, classmates, and childhood friends have long entered the military and political system, becoming a central force. Don’t be fooled by how inconspicuous they seem; she witnessed firsthand Shen Zian’s influence among these people back in the day.
Once she aroused their suspicion, even with Xie Yibin’s protection, she wouldn’t escape unscathed. What’s more, who could say whether Xie Yibin might not turn around and stab her for that wretched Shen Zian.
He stabbed Shen Zian back then; now he could just as easily stab her. Ding Meichen suddenly realized that the man she painstakingly snatched from Shen Zian wasn’t worth much after all. So many years of unwavering devotion and sacrifice, yet when it mattered, he wasn’t reliable at all.
Model couples are just a façade; she got everything she wanted first, but in the end, everything turned out to be so fragile, unable to withstand any blow.
At this moment, Ding Meichen suddenly understood that she had also been careless, numbed by years of smooth sailing and lost her cautious mindset, becoming no different from Ji Wan and Pocky in essence. Huo Dongfeng, like Shen Yu back then, never gave her a good look.
Two tiny little kids, yet possessing a maturity and intelligence beyond their age. These two had long seen through her true nature and would spitefully tattle to Shen Zian. However, she covered up well and managed to coax that idiot Shen Zian around in circles, not considering her at all.
So, she didn’t take these two little brats’ tattling seriously but secretly kept it in mind, swearing one day she’d make these two little devils pay.
Shen Yu was the first she targeted because he was conveniently close and easy to deal with, as long as she twisted him into a crooked little rascal, instilling some random corrupt ideas occasionally.
But Huo Dongfeng was Huo Family, and after Shen Zian passed away, he never came to the Shen Family; she had no chance to approach him. Plus, Huo Dongfeng was talented, quickly advancing in the army, so she couldn’t strike.
She endured silently all these years until finally finding an opportunity to deal with him.
Yet she never imagined she’d underestimate the Huo family’s capability and paranoia. She had done everything so perfectly but still aroused the Huo family’s suspicion, since then being watched closely. All current troubles began with Huo Dongfeng’s death.
If she had known it’d turn out like this, she definitely wouldn’t have impulsively taken action against Huo Dongfeng. She had borne everything for so many years; what couldn’t she endure?
Ding Meichen had never regretted like she did now.
Ji Wan noticed how terribly Ding Meichen looked; the wisdom-filled female Zhuge Liang had lost her composure at this moment, still somewhat bewildered. Despite how formidable those people were, they weren’t just any ordinary folks; why be so scared?
Besides, they had handled everything so cleanly; who could trace it back to them? Even if suspected, without evidence, nothing could be done to them!
Ding Meichen glanced up to see Ji Wan’s unconvinced expression, rage surged within her, standing up and delivering a hard slap, knocking Ji Wan to the ground, staring up in embarrassment, cheeks rapidly swelling with prominent red palm marks on each side.
It was evident how strong Ding Meichen’s strike was; she hadn’t forgotten to hone her skills utilizing Special Action Department resources despite her years of pampered living.
She was no longer the shadow behind Shen Zian back then.
