Sure enough, the two guessed correctly. After Xia Feifei put down the phone, Guo Tingting asked ingratiatingly, "Is it your mother-in-law?"
Xia Fei Fei nodded, the smile on her face was reduced by half. She could not lose the event regarding the tender for the sports event. Otherwise, Lin Yuchen would definitely not let her off so easily. She must think of a way to make her father not be biased towards Ye You Ran.
She was very clear about the intentions of Lin Yuchen and Xia Feifei's mother. If it wasn't for the fact that she didn't have any doubts about what had happened last time, then Xia Zhengang would definitely have leaned towards Mu Jinyang as compensation. Moreover, she definitely wouldn't have allowed Mu Jinyang and Lin Yuzhen to be so complacent.
Her son was suffering from a serious illness and was suffering from it at such a young age. How could she let Mu Jinyang and Lin Yuzhen live happily ever after? She had to fight over this event.
When they returned home in the evening, everyone was waiting for her to eat dinner. Ye You Ran washed her hands and sat down at the dining table. Liu Shufen accompanied her with a smile and gave her a piece of pork chop.
Ye You Ran was too young, and doing so would only increase Xia Zhengang's sympathy for her. As long as Xia Zhengang's sympathy for her increased, Ye You Ran's guilt would also lessen. At that time, Ye You Ran would have a chance to cry.
As expected, after seeing Ye Yulan fend off Liu Shufen's food for the third time, Xia Zhengang couldn't help but shout, "Yulan!"
"What's wrong?" Ye Yulan looked at Xia Zhengang innocently.
"Shufen is helping you with the dishes, how about this …"
"The dishes she picked up were things that I don't like? "Besides, why bother others when there's nothing you can do?"
Ye You Ran turned to look at Liu Shufen as he finished his sentence. She had a smile on her face, but her eyes were icy cold.
"So, Madam Xia, please don't perform a useless act. This kind of act can only deceive the mentally retarded. Anyone with a bit of intelligence knows that Xiao San will never treat his original daughter well."
It was clear that Liu Shufen was acting. Xia Zhengang frowned. His sympathy for Liu Shufen had disappeared in an instant. He knew Ye You Ran was unhappy, but he still had to go through the motions several times.
"Ye Yiran, don't go too far!" Seeing how Ye Yulan had humiliated her mother, Xia Feifei could not bear to continue watching.
"Am I wrong?" Ye You Ran laughed coldly, "Is Liu Shufen not the mistress? Are you not an illegitimate daughter? How about I take out your relationship with Secretary Xia and ask him to talk about it and see what the others have to say? "
Although Liu Shufen had always been talking about how deep her relationship with Xia Zhengang was, and how she had been unable to control herself, these words could only be said to deceive herself. Even a fool would know that being together with the husband of another woman was like a mistress, and this so-called secretary's daughter was actually an illegitimate daughter.
Liu Shufen's face turned pale. Her chopsticks were trembling as she was humiliated in front of her own daughter. This was not a humiliation that an ordinary person could bear, but in the end, she just kept her head down and didn't say a word.
Xia Zhengang's face had also turned white for a while. The matter with Liu Shufen was not his intention, but at this point, what was the point in saying all this? His daughter had misunderstood him for more than a day or two.
On the contrary, Xia Zhengang was very satisfied with Liu Shufen's forbearance. Ye You Ran was now full of anger, and there had to be a period when she could vent it out. As long as Liu Shufen could hold it in, Ye You Ran would be demoralized no matter how unruly she was.
The smell of gunpowder on the dining table finally calmed down due to Liu Shufen's patience. Ye You Ran wasn't in the mood to eat again, so he put down his bowl and chopsticks and went to the living room.
The mother and daughter pair, Xia Zhengang and Liu Shufen, naturally could not bear to continue eating either.
It wasn't just Liu Shufen and her daughter who were having an outburst tonight. She didn't go upstairs to sit in the living room because she wanted to talk to Xia Zhengang. She was straightforward when she saw Xia Zhengang walking out of the dining room. "I have something to talk to you about!"
"What is it? Let's go to the study room to talk. " What Xia Zhengang meant was that Ye Yulan definitely could not say it in front of Xia Fei Fei and her daughter.
Ye You Ran didn't appreciate the gesture and said, "Let's talk here."
At this moment, Liu Shufen and her daughter had also come over. They were originally prepared to return to their rooms after having suffered such a humiliation, but upon hearing Ye You Ran's words, they both changed their targets and sat on the sofa in the living room.
Xia Zhengang looked at Liu Shufen and her daughter sitting across from Ye Yulan. "What is it?"
Ye Yulan opened his mouth and said, "I want to talk about the sports meet. I hope that you can continue to be fair and do not practice favoritism!"
Beside her, Xia Feifei couldn't hold it in anymore, "Dad, you promised me, I've already told Jin Yang and Auntie Lin."
A hesitant expression appeared on Xia Zhengang's face. "Ran Ran, Father has long promised Jin Yang."
Ye You Ran sneered, "Secretary Xia, are you joking? Is the Southern City yours? A project worth tens of billions, yet you say you can give it to whoever you want, are you even fit to be a secretary? "
"It's not that I'm favouring others, but that the Mu Clan has such strength …"
"If the Mu Clan has power, then the other companies don't?" Ye Yulan interrupted him, "After what happened last time, you still think that the Mu Family is the only company in the Southern City?"
"This …" Xia Zhengang was also in a difficult position. While it was true that Golden Age was more powerful than the Mu Clan, it was true that the city council had the intention to recruit foreign investors. However, Golden Age's bid was on par with the Mu Clan's.
"Big sister, you can't be so greedy. Dad has already taken care of you when we were in the city last time. You can't do the same thing this time." Xia Feifei interrupted.
"Miss Xia is mistaken, the previous bidding was conducted in a fair and just manner. It is well-deserved that Golden Age obtained the city construction. Of course, if Secretary Xia chose to speak up for the Mu family, the city construction would not fall into the hands of Golden Age."
"That's because of your relationship." Xia Feifei said resentfully.
Ye You Ran ignored Xia Fei Fei Fei as he looked at Xia Zhengang. "I also hope to continue with the principle of fairness in the last competition. If I know anything else Secretary Xia is planning to do in this competition, I will report it to the disciplinary committee!"
Ye You Ran was not afraid of shoes. She was used to living in poverty and had never thought of relying on Xia Zhengang to take care of her.
The mother and daughter pair, on the other hand, were different. If Xia Zhengang were to be investigated for this matter, it would mean that their good days would come to an end. Without the limelight from the secretary, they knew what that would mean.
"Ye Yiran, what do you mean by this?" Xia Fei Fei couldn't stand Ye You Ran threatening Xia Zhengang so blatantly. Her face was filled with indignation and anger. "You did it on purpose, didn't you?"
"Miss Xia, can you tell me why I did that on purpose?" Ye You Ran looked at Xia Fei Fei mockingly.
"Because Jin Yang and I are engaged, you're jealous. You won't be able to see us properly!" Xia Feifei was so angry that she did not care about anything else. She had promised Lin Yuzhen at noon, so that she could be at ease.
"You're right, I really can't meet you!" Ye You Ran sneered, "Do you really think that I would bless you, this adulterous couple? "Let me tell you, I'd rather you die!"
Xia Fei Fei's face was pale as she pleaded for help. "Dad!"
Xia Zhengang remained silent with a dark face. Seeing Ye You Ran like this made him think of the pitiful state she was in when Mu Jin Yang had taken her home. She was his daughter. How could she not feel sorry for being bullied by Ye You Ran? The mercilessness of the Mu family was apparent to everyone. Ye You Ran's hatred was justified.
"Dad, you can't let your sister be like this. If she's been against us all her life, will you still want to do Jin Yang's business?"
"Fei Fei!" Liu Shufen, who hadn't spoken for a long time, stopped her daughter and looked towards Ye You Ran. "You Ran, let your father help the Qin family with the competition. I will explain to the Mu family, but after this, we won't owe you anything. The past …"
"Madam Xia!" Ye You Ran interrupted her, "I don't know if there is a problem with your understanding. Did I say that I wanted Secretary Xia to help Golden Age? "No way, right?"
Liu Shufen's face was flushed red. Indeed, Ye You Ran hadn't said anything about asking for Xia Zhengang's help. Ye You Ran sniggered coldly.
I repeat again, I am not a certain person, using the cover of being the secretary to do those unhonorable things. Tonight, I said that I was only reminding Secretary Xia not to be selfish, that we can compete however we want. If there are cheating and favoritism, I will not hesitate to report it!
Xia Zhengang stood up and continued, "You're right, this Southern City is not my home. I have no right to privately decide who to compensate. This will be a fair fight."
"But I've already promised Auntie Lin. Dad, just help me, just this once."
"No way!" Xia Zhengang flatly refused, "It's still the old saying. Since Mu Jinyang and you are engaged because of me, there's no need to tie the knot! I, Xia Zhengang, would not want such a shameless person as my son-in-law! "
Xia Fei Fei wanted to beg again, but Liu Shufen held her hand and pinched her arm. She tactfully stopped. Xia Zhen had just gotten up and went to his study, while the mother and daughter went to Xia Fei Fei's bedroom.
"Mom, why is that bitch Ye Yiran so hateful?" After closing the door, Xia Fei Fei had a savage look on her face, and she no longer had any scruples with her words.
"If it was you who got robbed of your husband, would you be able to endure it?" Liu Shufen asked.
"Of course not, I'm going to make her wish she was dead."
"That's right! "Ye You Ran's actions are understandable. The more she says so, the more unlikely it is for her to get involved with Jin Yang. Think about it, what kind of impact would it have if we told the world about Ye You Ran's words?"
"Right? If Jin Yang and Lin Yuzhen were to find out that Ye You Ran was behind all of this, they wouldn't hate her to death. "Xia Fei Fei became even happier." I'll tell Auntie Lin what happened tonight! "
