411 A Taste of Her Own Medicine
“Uncle.” Miao Lan stood outside the pavilion and smiled sweetly at Li Tingfeng. “I’m Ze’en’s university classmate. I heard from Ze’en that Uncle is a formidable person who has been in the business world for a long time. I’ve just arrived in the capital and might need to consult Uncle on many things in the future.”
Li Tingfeng looked at the girl in front of him. She was passionate and dazzling. Moreover, she looked at him with admiration, which satisfied Li Tingfeng’s vanity.
“What’s your name?” he asked.
“My name is Miao Lan.” Miao Lan’s voice was youthful.
Li Tingfeng said, “What do you want me to teach you?”
Miao Lan said, “I also want to establish my own business empire. But I’m new and inexperienced, so I want to learn from Uncle.”
Li Tingfeng was amused by her words.
“Sure. Just come to me if you need anything in the future.”
Miao Lan was excited. “Thank you, Uncle.”
The woman looked at the girl’s beautiful face and then at Li Tingfeng’s satisfied smile. Her expression darkened.
She said sarcastically, “Hubby, you’re so busy. How can you have time to teach such a young woman? Why don’t you let your subordinates guide her?”
Li Tingfeng glanced at her and said, “I’ll decide on this myself. Don’t interfere.”
Miao Lan left happily. The woman stared at her back, jealousy burning in her eyes.
“Can’t you tell that she clearly approached you on purpose? I’m afraid this is another trick of your daughter’s to take revenge on you. You have to be careful not to lose your integrity.”
Li Tingfeng’s heart sank. Li Ze’en was indeed a ruthless person who took revenge.
“I know my limits,” he said to Madam.
After the woman woke Li Tingfeng up, she felt that this matter could come to an end. Unexpectedly, Li Tingfeng’s phone vibrated. Miao Lan sent Li Tingfeng many expensive gift lists and asked him playfully, “I thought Uncle was the cold CEO. I didn’t expect Uncle to be so approachable. In order to thank Uncle for your generous help, I’ve decided to give Uncle some gifts. Uncle, can you choose any of the gift lists?”
Li Tingfeng looked at the expensive watches. Although they were not very expensive, they were at least tens of thousands.
Li Tingfeng was really a little tempted, but how could he accept a girl’s gift? He rejected and said, “I appreciate your kindness. There’s no need for a gift.”
They kept talking and the new Third Madam was neglected. Her expression was very dark and she was especially unhappy.
“I won’t allow you to have any contact with her.” She finally tore off her magnanimous veil and warned Li Tingfeng fiercely.
“You’re married. How can you get so close to other women?”
Li Tingfeng rolled his eyes at her. “Don’t be so dirty-minded. I’m a businessman and occasionally need a female companion to socialize with me. I think Miaolan is lively and cute. She’s quite suitable to be my female companion.”
“You have improper thoughts about her, right?”
Li Tingfeng was furious. His elegant face suddenly twisted into a ferocious expression. “What nonsense are you talking about?” Then, he left in exasperation.
When the woman saw his furious expression, she immediately felt a sense of helplessness.
She suddenly thought of something and stood up shakily from the chair in the pavilion. Then she rushed to Ze’en’s new residence in the backyard.
She scolded Li Ze’en, “Li Ze’en, get out here.”
Li Ze’en opened the door with her phone in her hand. It was still in filming mode. She looked at her stepmother cutely. “Why… are you looking for me?” Her voice was slender and weak, and there was a hint of fear in it.
“Li Ze’en, why didn’t I think of you being so despicable? You actually let your friend seduce your father. How could you do such a thing?”
Li Ze’en widened her eyes in fear and shook her head aggrievedly. She denied it and said, “Are you crazy? Miao Lan just has a business problem to ask Father. How can you maliciously slander Miao Lan? Miao Lan is such an innocent girl. She also has a boyfriend she loves deeply. Aren’t you forcing her to death by slandering her like this?”
“Hmph, you said she’s innocent. In my opinion, she’s with you. You’re clearly trying to separate me and your father on purpose. You’re clearly deliberately taking revenge on me for breaking up your parents’ marriage. Li Ze’en, you’re so young. How can you be so scheming? To think you could think of such a vicious plan.” The woman was so angry that she lost her composure. She placed her hands on her hips and looked like a shrew.
Li Ze’en pretended to be aggrieved and innocent… However, the camera on her phone was always aimed at her stepmother’s face. She would never let the air turn cold and would throw a brick from time to time.
“You and my father worked together to chase my mother out of this house and throw my brother out of the company. You’ve even tried everything to chase me out. I can tolerate all of this, but why can’t you let my friend off? My friend just said a few words to my father, and you were there. Their communication didn’t cross the line. How can you maliciously slander her morals?”
Her stepmother flew into a rage. “You can fool your father, but not me. She’s a vixen.”
“You’re too much. She’s wearing a long shirt and pants and looks scholarly. How does she look like a vixen? It’s obvious that you’re judging others by your own standards. Are you immoral?”
Her stepmother finally realized that something was wrong. Ze’en’s phone was facing her.
“Li Ze’en, what are you doing?”
Ze’en turned off the filming mode. Then, when her stepmother came up to snatch the phone, she quickly sent the video to TikTok.
When his stepmother touched the phone, Ze’en pretended to be terrified.
“Ah, you posted a video of our argument?”
“Where was it posted to?”
“Tiktok.”
Her stepmother’s expression changed drastically because she knew that Li Ze’en had millions of fans.
“Hurry up and delete it,” she shouted anxiously, recalling how aggressive and rude she had been during the argument.
Li Ze’en reached out and his stepmother returned the phone to her.
Then, she personally supervised Li Ze’en and had the video deleted.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
Little did she know…
On the other end, Li Ze’en’s follower, Qiao An, quickly saved Li Ze’en’s video and posted it in the comments section again.
She even used the tone of Li Ze’en’s fans to carefully organize her words and commented in an exaggerated manner, “Miss, why did you delete this video instantly? Ah, could it be that you were kidnapped? Why did I hear the argument inside? It was so scary.”
The words “delete the video” and “kidnapped” immediately attracted other followers. Soon, the video went viral…
