Sigh.
Who could resist this beautiful fool?
Zheng Mengni admired and yearned to surpass everyone who was better and stronger than her.
But the ones who truly won her affection were those who were not only foolish but also obedient to her.
Sweetly silly, how adorable.
No matter how clever one was, being calculating and scheming could be quite annoying.
As for Wei Jingxi, being a decorative vase for her to admire wasn’t so bad either.
He didn’t need to have a brain; just being dazed and compliant was enough.
That little crybaby would surely hide under the covers and sob if she didn’t help him.
But if he cried too much, he would lose his charm.
Zheng Mengni pondered and ultimately decided she didn’t want such a situation to occur; she was determined to uncover the truth and clear Wei Jingxi’s name.
However, only those present at the time knew what had truly happened.
Aside from Wei Jingxi, there was only his stepmother, Luo Xuezhi.
Zheng Mengni had approached her twice, but each time she found an excuse to evade her questions.
She was busy every day and didn’t have the heart to pursue Luo Xuezhi relentlessly, so she sent over an album filled with pictures of adorable child models.
Plump and rosy-cheeked, they were cute and cheerful; even she felt a surge of maternal love looking at them, let alone Luo Xuezhi, who had just lost her child.
As expected, Luo Xuezhi came to find her.
The tables had turned; Zheng Mengni had transformed into the one holding the power in this situation.
With her lashes lowered, she gently flipped through the album, her serene gaze landing on the cute faces of the child models.
She pointed at one particular photo with her slender finger and said to Luo Xuezhi, “Sister, look! This one has eyes just like yours—so beautiful! If your child could be born, I bet they would be even more stunning.”
Luo Xuezhi completely broke down, covering her face as she wept bitterly: “It’s Guan Su Lin! He’s the one responsible for my miscarriage!”
Zheng Mengni patiently listened to Luo Xuezhi’s grievances, subtly stirring up the hatred within her with a gentle tone.
She expressed deep sympathy for Luo Xuezhi’s plight and cast out a tempting bait: “Actually, I can help you.”
"Help, help me, but how can you help?"
"Revenge. He made you lose your child; he has to pay a price, right?"
"Here, the voice recorder. Take it and gather evidence against the one who harmed your child."
Luo Xuezhi nervously gripped the cold voice recorder in her palm. "But Guan Su Lin is cunning; he won't admit to anything."
Zheng Mengni shook her head. "On the contrary." She beckoned Luo Xuezhi closer and whispered strategies into her ear.
With tears in her eyes, Luo Xuezhi's expression grew more resolute. Finally, Zheng Mengni said, "But after you gather the evidence, you need to give me the recorder."
Luo Xuezhi looked confused. "Why can't I just take it directly to Wei Nanxuan and expose Guan Su Lin's true nature?"
Sister Zheng Mengni sighed softly. "Think long-term, okay? It's foolish to believe Wei Nanxuan can take on Guan Su Lin."
Luo Xuezhi pondered for a moment. "I understand now."
Her thoughts surged like a tide before she finally regained her composure. Zheng Mengni hid the voice recorder away, ensuring no one would discover it. This was her lifeline.
At first, Zheng Mengni had indeed intended to help Wei Jingxi clear his name. However, she believed that the evidence she painstakingly gathered could serve a greater purpose than just helping him.
During her time spent with Guan Su Lin, Zheng Mengni had likely figured out what he was planning upon his return: to fight for an inheritance. And not just his share of it.
Guan Su Lin was ambitious and had an insatiable appetite; he was an extremely dangerous individual.
As for the talk of love and romance, and the grand plans he painted, Zheng Mengni didn't believe a word of it.
Besides that, he had returned to engage in big business.
Her heart stirred; she wanted a piece of the action too.
To prevent Guan Su Lin from turning against her, Zheng Mengni had secured crucial evidence that could counterbalance him before coming here.
One must always have a backup plan and an escape route.
