Li Wei and her mother, Weng Yin, had previously instigated the supervision team using their status as members of the Weng family, all due to Yun Shu's instigation. The mother and daughter believed their plan was foolproof, only to find themselves the subject of ridicule.
Before the confrontation concluded, they departed to avoid further embarrassment.
However, after leaving, the mother and daughter did not dwell on the matter but instead began to scheme anew.
"Mom, who exactly is that bitch? Have you never seen her before?"
Li Wei pondered for a moment, "Never seen her. It's normal not to have seen her. There's no such person in wealthy families. That woman must have charmed men with her looks to enter this circle. Otherwise, who knows where she'd be serving tea and water."
"What do you mean 'charmed with her looks'?" Weng Yin said displeasedly, "Her face is so disgusting, not pretty at all. Her nose looks fake, and her chin clearly had bone shaved off. I feel sick just looking at it. Are your eyes faulty?"
Li Wei quickly agreed, "That's right, her face must have undergone countless surgeries. Our Yin Yin is naturally beautiful; that woman can't compare."
Unexpectedly, Weng Yin grew even more annoyed, "What do you mean 'can't compare'? She doesn't even deserve to be compared to me. Are you even my mother, to equate me with such a slut?"
Li Wei was too lazy to placate her further, "Then I'll go ask around to find out who she is. It'll be easier to deal with once we know."
Weng Yin finally fell silent and found a resting spot to scroll through her phone.
Li Wei went around inquiring about people. After searching, she spotted someone she knew and approached with a smile.
"Madam Tang, hello, hello. Long time no see, you've gotten younger. What kind of beauty treatment have you been doing? You look ten years younger."
Madam Tang smiled politely and exchanged pleasantries, but showed no further inclination to chat.
Li Wei clearly saw the other party's impatience but still wanted to engage, as Madam Tang was also from a prominent family. It would be more beneficial to cultivate a connection.
"I had a really unlucky day today. I spent six hundred million on Master Fidi's necklace for my daughter, only to end up with a fake. Now the fake has become real, and the real has become fake. Sigh... I'm truly wronged."
Madam Tang smiled slightly, "I know about this. This circle isn't that big, but it's not that small either. However, what I heard is a bit different from what you're saying. They say the necklace was bought by the Chu family, and then a fake appeared out of nowhere, causing a huge scene..."
The smile on Li Wei's face froze. She understood immediately. She cursed the "old hag" inwardly a few times, maintained her smile, and turned to leave.
Upon reaching an empty corner, Li Wei's anger finally surfaced. Unwilling to accept it, she tried to contact the so-called friend again, but it remained an invalid number.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it! Curse it, I hope I catch you."
Li Wei, exasperated, cursed at the wall.
Not far behind her stood a smiling figure. It was Quan Jiu.
She took out her phone and dialed a number. Soon, an elegant-voiced old lady answered.
"Hello, who is this?"
Quan Jiu's voice turned serious, and she asked without any emotion, "May I ask if you are Old Madam Yang of the Weng family?"
Old Madam Yang sounded slightly suspicious, "Yes, I am. Who are you?"
"This is the Human Resources Department of the Fashion Week Supervision Team. Due to You Xi's dereliction of duty, he is being terminated. However, we cannot reach him personally. Please notify him to come to the company as soon as possible to complete the resignation procedures."
Old Madam Yang became even more confused, "Wait, You Xi? I don't know anyone by that name. Did you dial the wrong number?"
Quan Jiu was also surprised, "Aren't you You Xi's family member? Isn't Li Wei your daughter-in-law, and You Xi your son-in-law?"
Old Madam Yang was increasingly bewildered, "What nonsense are you talking about? Li Wei is my daughter-in-law, but we don't have anyone named You Xi in our family."
"But You Xi's dismissal is because of Li Wei. Aren't they husband and wife?" Quan Jiu asked again.
Old Madam Yang's brows furrowed, "What do you mean? Li Wei and this You Xi, they... what happened between them?"
"You Xi, as the team leader of the supervision team, listened to Li Wei and trespassed into a high-end brand fashion show, disrupting order, and was therefore dismissed. During the investigation, he claimed that Li Wei had instructed him to act under the Weng family's name, which is why he agreed to disrupt the scene."
"This... what is the relationship between Li Wei and this You Xi?" Old Madam Yang asked emotionally.
"They seemed very familiar. The news should have reported it by now. However, since they are not husband and wife, I cannot speculate further. Sorry to have bothered you."
Old Madam Yang looked at the disconnected phone and pondered for a long time before opening a search engine and typing in keywords like Li Wei, Fashion Week, and Disturbing the Peace. She indeed found related news, and not just from one entertainment account.
Old Madam Yang was furious. She immediately went to her husband, Weng Yangfeng, with a face full of resentment, "I told you that woman surnamed Li was no good from the start. Look at how many arguments we've had since she entered our home. I haven't liked that woman for a single day."
Weng Yangfeng looked confused, "What happened between you two again?"
Old Madam Yang opened the news and threw her phone in front of Weng Yangfeng, "Look at what the news is saying. Your reputation at Fashion Week was used by that woman to find some wild man. I think this marriage must end. Our Weng family cannot afford to lose this face."
Weng Yangfeng was shocked. After carefully examining the news report, he saw that it indeed stated Li Wei had asked someone from the supervision team to cause trouble at the brand fashion show.
He couldn't believe it, "What... what is going on?"
Old Madam Yang, already dissatisfied with Li Wei, added fuel to the fire, translating what she had heard into Li Wei finding a wild man and even using the Weng family's name to flaunt her authority outside.
After hearing her words, Weng Yangfeng remained silent for a long time.
Old Madam Yang urged again, "What are you still hesitating for? It's all reported now. That man has already been fired by the supervision team, and the staff from the supervision team even called me to find him. Hasn't this become common knowledge? How can such a person still stay, and still give me attitude every day? She's practically expecting me to serve her."
"She has completely disgraced the Weng family."
Weng Yangfeng pondered for a while before sighing, "Call her first and ask about the situation."
Old Madam Yang snorted, "I was going to call her anyway." As she spoke, she dialed Li Wei's number.
Li Wei was angrily facing the wall when she suddenly received a call from her mother-in-law. She kicked the wall a few times impatiently before slowly answering, her tone quite annoyed, "Mom, what is it?"
Old Madam Yang's voice sharpened as she questioned, "Are you involved with a man named You Xi?"
Li Wei was taken aback, "Mom, what are you talking about? Involved?"
Old Madam Yang was not buying it and asked again, "Did you use your father-in-law's reputation to have that You Xi do things for you? Did you go and cause trouble at the fashion show?"
Li Wei thought for a moment and then realized. The mention of this matter also filled her with anger, so she said loudly, "What I do is none of your business! If you have nothing else, I'm hanging up. You're so annoying every day."
Old Madam Yang, whose call was hung up, laughed angrily, "If I hadn't turned on the speakerphone, would you still not believe what I'm saying? Do you know how much grief that woman has caused me over the years? Let her get out. I'm putting it out there today: it's her or me."
Weng Yangfeng was also very angry, frowning, "Call our son and tell him to handle the divorce."
