The sight of their disheveled appearance ignited even more anger in the newcomer, as if something of theirs had been invaded.
"Ah!" Li exclaimed, hurriedly trying to cover her messy clothes and hair.
The newcomer squinted his eyes, "What are you hiding for? Is there anything on you that I haven't seen? No wonder you haven't come to me lately; turns out you've found someone new!"
Li was so provoked by the man's vulgar words that she forgot everything else and shouted, "Zhang Erdan, don't go too far! If anyone finds out, no one will come out unscathed."
"Haha! So, you found someone better and abandoned me? What’s so great about this man? Can he compare to me?" His rough fingers traced across Li's fair face, which was softer than that of an ordinary woman.
"I really didn't expect you to be this shameless. So, Liu Eldest has satisfied you, huh?"
At the mention of Liu Eldest, he suddenly stood up straight, puffing out his chest, "You can't talk about him like that."
It was rare for this cowardly man to stand up for a woman; he had never defended Wang before.
Having been oppressed by Wang for many years, he had long since given up. However, in front of Li, his male pride received an unusual boost, much better than dealing with that vicious woman at home.
Li calmed down at this moment and was no longer afraid. After all, it would benefit no one if everyone found out: "Let's discuss this."
However, Zhang Erdan was resolute in his disagreement: "Why should I discuss anything with you? You two shameless lovers still have the face to talk?" The anger from being betrayed by Li made it hard for him to calm down, and he was unwilling to let Liu Eldest off the hook.
Liu Eldest paused for a moment but then stood tall: "Zhang Erdan, don’t forget our relationship. If our matters get out, you won’t come out unscathed either."
"Hah!" Zhang Erdan dismissed these words entirely: "Come out unscathed? Do you think I can avoid trouble by staying in? Don’t think I don’t know what you two are thinking; stop pretending."
"Oh right, Liu Eldest, you're truly despicable. Wang harmed her own niece and tarnished her reputation while you just stood by and watched. What else wouldn’t you do?"
Just moments ago, Liu Eldest's conversation with Li had reached Zhang Erdan's ears. At this moment, he trusted neither of them and was even more convinced of what they might do to him in the future.
Liu Eldest was suddenly at a loss for words; his disheveled clothes were blown by the cold winter wind, and two wheat stalks stuck in his messy hair made him look utterly pathetic.
Yet the words that came out were still so shameless and despicable: "It's not my doing; those rumors were spread by Wang."
In his mind, he had not participated in any of it; everything had nothing to do with him.
"Haha!" Zhang Erdan believed he was not a good person and did not do good deeds, but compared to Liu Eldest, who committed wrongdoings yet still acted sanctimoniously, he truly felt inferior.
"Come on, stop pretending. You must be delighted inside. The Wang family ruined Liu Qingxi's reputation, and now you shamelessly come to take her property or turn her into a tool for making money while you enjoy the benefits, right?"
Unexpectedly, Zhang Erdan's words hit the mark, leaving Liu Eldest speechless.
The three stood facing each other in a standoff.
At that moment, Li tossed her hair and cleared her throat in a flirtatious manner before speaking, "There's no need to be so harsh." She was putting in so much effort to flirt with Liu Eldest because she was eyeing the wealth of the Liu family.
"And you, woman, what are you doing cozying up to Liu Eldest? Isn't it because you look down on me? When Liu Family's scheme succeeds, won't you also benefit greatly?"
Surprisingly, Zhang Erdan's mind was quite sharp; this pair of shameless lovers clearly had that intention.
Seeing that the situation could not be concealed any longer, Li rolled her eyes and put on a bright smile. "We're all reasonable people here; why make it sound so unpleasant? How about this: once we get Liu Qingxi's property, we'll share some with you."
Thinking of the workers under Liu Qingxi and the vast estate along with the endless stream of customers at the towering restaurant, Li felt she deserved a share.
After following Liu Eldest for such a long time, as the eldest son of the Liu family, Liu Eldest would naturally be in charge in the future. Following him would be better than being with Zhang Gaoliang, who was just a good-for-nothing laborer.
Liu Eldest surprisingly found no value in this suggestion; their malicious intentions were evident. Zhang Erdan suddenly felt confused.
Though he harbored resentment towards Li and Liu Eldest, the tangible wealth of Liu Qingxi's family was also a huge temptation for him.
Meanwhile, unnoticed in a corner, a group of people had been quietly standing there for quite some time, listening intently to every word exchanged.
They realized that the rumors coming from Ten Li Pu were indeed just rumors and that everything was orchestrated by the Wang family with silent support from Liu Eldest.
The middle-aged man leading the group cast a sympathetic glance at the girl beside him while shifting his angry gaze toward the three in confrontation.
Seeing the disheveled clothing of two of them and their conversation made everything clear.
Deliberately remaining silent to observe further, he wanted to see what other outrageous acts these shameless individuals could commit.
However, these few people repeatedly refreshed their understanding.
Fearing that Zhang Erdan would disagree, Li even resorted to using her charm again, performing seductive gestures that made the two men present swallow hard.
"Come on! If you agree, it will just be the three of us from now on." By dragging one person down with them, they wouldn't have to worry about that person leaking the matter.
Liu Eldest shamelessly laughed and said, "That Liu Qingxi girl is still part of the Liu Family. The money she earns should belong to us; who told her not to recognize her place?"
This was his true inner thought; in fact, he was even more impatient than Wang.
What was Wang's hatred for Liu Qingxi based on? It was because the Yun Clan had taken away the husband that should have belonged to her.
And what about Liu Eldest? Although marrying Wang was not easy, his long-term repression made him appear indifferent on the surface while his heart twisted with hatred at the sight of Wang's attention on Liu Laosan.
This distorted family dynamic gradually formed. If Liu Qingxi became a tool for him to make money, a support for his indulgences, it would finally allow him to vent his frustrations.
Zhang Erdan's mind raced with thoughts; if he could get a piece of the pie...
His yellowed teeth gradually showed, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes deepened, the skin at the corners of his mouth cracked, and a lewd glint appeared in his eyes as he blurted out a word: "Good!"
At that moment, someone hidden in the shadows slowly stepped out.
