Hearing Master Chi’s change in att.i.tude, Chi Jiajia and He Meichun glanced at each other, their eyes glinting with calculative glee.
Chi Jiajia said, “Father, I just feel unjust for my elder sister and want the best for my family. We can’t let other people mock us, can we? Also, I heard that that woman comes from an unknown family background. I’ve also checked on her and found out that she’s promiscuous. How dare someone like her think of joining the Duan family? Isn’t she sabotaging Elder Brother Yanhao?”
Master Chi’s eyes widened in shock. Looking at his daughter, he asked, “Is that true?”
“Of course, Father, why would I deceive you? It’s true. If Elder Brother Yanhao were to marry someone wonderful, we’d be happy too. But he’s marrying someone like that! He’s just disrespecting my elder sister! She has even sacrificed herself on a mission… Who even remembers who she is now? How would people think of our Chi family now?”
Master Chi’s expression turned sour, and he asked doubtfully, “Does that lad have such bad judgment?”
He Meichun pa.s.sed a cup of tea to Master Chi and answered, “Dear, you know that men are easily fooled by women. This lad could’ve been confused too. He might not know the truth!”
1During this period, He Meichun and Chi Jiajia hadn’t taken any actions as they were quietly investigating Bai Yaoyao’s history.
After they obtained the report from their private investigator, they hurriedly discussed their strategies and made Master Chi carry it out.
Duan Yanhao didn’t want to see He Meichun and Chi Jiajia now, but he was still respectful towards Master Chi. That was why it would be best to let Master Chi do the job.
Master Chi hesitated and said, “Hmm, I’ll visit the Duan family personally and speak to Old Master Duan about this.”
Right at the start, Master Chi had high hopes for Duan Yanhao and had treated him as his son-in-law. Even if Jiaojiao was gone, he still wished that Duan Yanhao could find a lady. He had already regarded Yanhao as his own son.
But he didn’t know what his daughter, Jiajia, had been feeling. Hence, He Meichun and Chi Jiajia tried to take advantage of that and make Master Chi take action.
“Father, you can’t just talk to Old Master Duan. You have to speak to the second and fifth uncles and get their help. It will be more persuasive that way.”
Chi Jiajia had a sound plan, and all the crafty ones knew that the Duan family’s second and fifth masters were not on good terms with Old Master Duan. They were also against Duan Yanhao.
Duan Yanhao didn’t want to meet them, and they weren’t fond of him either. With regards to the details, they didn’t know either.
All in all, with the second and fifth uncles showing up, the Chi family could exploit their status as the elders of the Duan family to suppress Duan Yanhao and force him into compliance.
He Meichun and Chi Jiajia had made use of Chi Jiaojiao’s story to reap significant advantages throughout all these years. They had already gone overboard and didn’t know where to draw the line anymore. Therefore, they tried to scheme again one more time.
However, this time, they had no clue that they were sending themselves to doom.
Master Chi looked at his daughter and pondered. Eventually, he said, “Okay, I’ll speak to them.”
At the same time, Chi Jiajia had already sent Bai Yaoyao’s confidential information to the media to let them broadcast it to everyone.
The reporters browsed through the doc.u.ments in their hands and grew restless. This was the future first lady, and they didn’t dare to just publish articles so frivolously.
“Manager, these doc.u.ments had been sent to us anonymously. They contain shocking news about the first lady. Can we report about it?”
When the manager looked through the doc.u.ments, his face changed immediately. “Are you out of your mind? Why do you even need to ask me about it? Just destroy it!”
