Wu Xiufang and Huangfu Sisong had just finished dinner and were preparing for a stroll in the mansion.
The butler approached them and said, "Master, Madam, Mrs. Sheng is here to see Madam and says it's urgent."
Upon hearing that Zhong Lu had arrived, Huangfu Sisong's face immediately fell.
He was displeased with the Sheng family's continued attempts to meddle in their affairs. However, he was still unaware of what had happened to Huangfu Shaohua and assumed his son was with another woman and unwilling to admit his mistakes, hence his return.
Wu Xiufang, knowing Zhong Lu's intentions, quickly said to Huangfu Sisong, "I'll go meet her. You don't need to see her, to avoid upsetting you."
Huangfu Sisong nodded and went to the study.
Wu Xiufang instructed the butler, "Please take Mrs. Sheng to the pavilion in the garden. I'll wait for her there."
"Understood."
Wu Xiufang was surprised that Zhong Lu dared to show up. She had already arranged for the funding chains of the Sheng family's most important projects to be severed, wondering how much longer they could last.
Zhong Lu was led to the garden pavilion by the butler and saw Wu Xiufang already seated inside with tea prepared.
Seeing the butler bring her over, Wu Xiufang stood up and greeted her warmly, as she always had.
"Lu, you're here. How has Zhuzhu been these past two days?"
Zhong Lu smiled and replied, "She knows she's about to marry Shaohua, so she's much better. She's no longer throwing tantrums and has recovered as before."
Wu Xiufang pulled her down to sit. Noticing Zhong Lu's hurried demeanor, as if she had something urgent to discuss, she handed her the prepared tea and asked, "Why have you come to see me at this hour?"
Zhong Lu took a sip of tea, unable to hide her joy. She took out her phone, swiped to unlock it, and gave Wu Xiufang a mysterious smile, saying, "I have something to show you."
Wu Xiufang couldn't help but crane her neck, feeling a bit curious about what good thing had made her so happy.
Zhong Lu opened her photo album and handed the entire phone to Wu Xiufang, saying, "Take a look for yourself."
Wu Xiufang took her phone and upon seeing the photos, she wished she could cover her eyes and throw the phone away. She exclaimed, "What is all this nonsense? We're all this age, and you still have such a hobby? How embarrassing!"
Zhong Lu's face turned red, and she anxiously said, "Oh, don't throw my phone away! Who told you to look at those? Look closely at the woman in the photo. Is she that vixen who has bewitched Shaohua?"
Wu Xiufang had only glanced at it earlier and felt the shocking photos of the woman looked somewhat familiar.
Hearing Zhong Lu's words, she looked at the photo again, carefully examining the woman's face. It was Daisy, the woman who fought. She was shocked.
"You, what did you have done to her?"
Zhong Lu gestured for her to keep swiping through the album. "There are many more. See if this is enough. Shaohua actually got his marriage certificate with her. Now we can make them divorce. I think if Shaohua sees these photos, he'll definitely be willing to divorce her immediately."
The more Wu Xiufang looked, the more alarmed she became. These photos must not be seen by Shaohua now.
She disliked this woman and wished for Shaohua to separate from her, but Shaohua had already registered his marriage with this woman.
Now that this woman's reputation was completely ruined, forcing her to divorce Shaohua with these photos might lead her to desperation. She might even expose the fact that she was already married to Shaohua, which would be detrimental to their Huangfu family and Shaohua's reputation.
Zhong Lu saw that Wu Xiufang showed no signs of happiness, and her expression grew increasingly solemn. She asked, "Xiufang, aren't you happy? The matter that troubled you the most, I've helped you solve it easily."
"But what you've done is illegal. If she reports it to the police, and they investigate..."
"With these photos in hand, would she dare to report it?" Zhong Lu said triumphantly. "Unless she wants to be unable to show her face for the rest of her life."
Wu Xiufang felt that the woman before her had gone mad, completely losing her reason. However, using her to get Daisy away from Shaohua did solve her most troublesome issue.
"You're thinking about this too simply..."
"Wu Xiufang!" Zhong Lu interrupted, seeing her still trying to find excuses. "Earlier, Shaohua used the excuse of being married. Now this woman is also tarnished. You still want her to be your daughter-in-law? What do you mean? You just don't want Zhuzhu to marry into the family!"
"Don't get agitated," Wu Xiufang said, trying to pacify Zhong Lu. "Send me these photos, and I will show them to Shaohua. But their divorce still requires procedures and time."
"You say it needs time for this, and it needs time for that. Are you trying to deliberately delay?" Zhong Lu questioned her.
Wu Xiufang replied, "Since Shaohua wants to marry Zhuzhu, he should give her a perfect wedding. Do you want your daughter to marry reluctantly?"
"That's true." Zhong Lu seemed to have calmed down a bit and said, "First, Shaohua needs to divorce this woman, then he can register his marriage with Zhuzhu, and then have a grand wedding."
Wu Xiufang nodded repeatedly and said, "That's exactly what I'm thinking. You go back and wait for my news. As soon as they complete the divorce procedures, I will notify you."
"Alright." Zhong Lu quickly forwarded all the photos to Wu Xiufang.
After Zhong Lu left, Wu Xiufang stared at her phone, contemplating how to utilize these photos.
She couldn't get involved in such dirty business herself and needed to extricate herself completely. Yet, she needed to make a woman like Daisy, who didn't know her limits, voluntarily leave Shaohua and stop bothering him.
She also needed to make Shaohua completely give up on Daisy. She had to consider all aspects, and just thinking about it gave her a headache.
It had been a long time since she had planned something so complicated, but being pushed to this point by the Sheng family, she had no choice but to plan carefully.
...
Susu waited for Daisy to finish her shower and wanted to take her out for dinner, but Daisy said she was too tired and didn't want to eat tonight.
"A person is made of iron and rice is their sustenance. How can you not eat dinner? Just do it for me and let's go out for something to eat," Susu said, seeing her persistently gloomy mood, still wanting to take her out to relax.
Daisy didn't want to go out. Enduring the pain and discomfort in her heart, she said, "Susu, thank you. But I really want to sleep. You should go back first. You don't need to accompany me. President Qin is definitely waiting for you at home."
"I've already told him it's okay if I don't go back tonight..."
"Susu, please, just let me be alone for a while?" As she spoke, her eyes suddenly welled up.
Susu felt a bit lost, thinking she shouldn't force her. If Tianyi suddenly disappeared, she would be the same as Daisy, wanting to heal alone.
"Okay, then I'll leave. Take care of yourself."
Susu didn't know how else to comfort her and could only wait until there was definite news about Huangfu Shaohua.
As she opened the door and waved goodbye, two police officers arrived at the entrance and asked, "Is Daisy here?"
Susu looked at them and asked, "What do you need Daisy for?"
"Are you Daisy?" the officer asked her.
She quickly shook her head and said, "I'm not, she is."
Daisy, not knowing what was happening, walked to the door and said to the officers, "I am Daisy."
"Hello, someone reported that you were harmed. Are you alright?" the officer asked, looking at her.
