"Three days from now, you can go find him. By then, he'll be dead at your feet, bleeding from all seven orifices!"
Just as Xu Xiaofeng was about to say more, he saw Daoist Master Tianyi slowly rise, his expression calm as he offered a reminder.
"Right, the talisman I gave you, keep it close. That Wang Erzhu is also a feng shui master, be careful of tricks!"
Xu Xiaofeng was about to ask something when Daoist Master Tianyi suddenly seemed to remember something and turned his head slightly.
"Don't worry, Master, I've been keeping the talisman on me."
Xu Xiaofeng patted his chest and replied with a broad smile.
"Good. You can go now, I need to cultivate."
Daoist Tianyi nodded slightly, sat cross-legged on the bed, and closed his eyes, dismissing his guest.
Xu Xiaofeng wanted to say more, but seeing Daoist Master Tianyi's displeased expression, he could only leave.
As soon as he reached the living room, he saw Xu Xiaoting's ghastly appearance.
"Can't you wear a mask? Always wandering around like that, it's disgusting!"
Xu Xiaofeng covered his mouth and glanced at Xu Xiaoting with disgust.
Xu Xiaoting's face had already scabbed over, making her look even more terrifying and repulsive. The Xu family had originally planned to send her abroad for cosmetic surgery, but for some reason, many reporters got wind of the news. To prevent the matter from being exposed, Xu Xiaoting had to stay in China.
"I want you to see this face every day. This is the price you pay for not helping me!"
*Slap!*
As soon as Xu Xiaoting finished speaking, a loud slap echoed. Instantly, the wound on Xu Xiaoting's cheek split open, and blood flowed onto the floor!
"I told you, the family's business is more important than your face. If you bring this up with me again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Xu Xiaoting wanted to argue, but seeing her brother's ferocious gaze, she was so scared that she couldn't utter a word.
Watching Xu Xiaofeng's retreating back, Xu Xiaoting suppressed the intense pain, tears instantly welling up in her eyes.
She had originally wanted to teach Li Mei a lesson, but she never expected to be worse off than Li Mei!
Wang Erzhu! Li Mei!
She would make them suffer a thousand times worse than she had!
"According to the latest news from this station, Kyoto's richest man, Mr. Wang, will be attending the celebrity banquet tonight with his fiancée. This will be the first time Mr. Wang's fiancée appears in public!"
At this moment, a news report on television caught her attention. Xu Xiaoting glared hatefully at the photos of Erzhu and Li Mei on the screen, and a revenge plan slowly formed in her mind...
While Xu Xiaoting was plotting her revenge, Erzhu and Li Mei were at the mall choosing evening gowns for the banquet.
The guests attending tonight's banquet were all from top families in Kyoto, at the very least. Therefore, Li Mei had to be more thoughtful about her attire.
"Erzhu, these dresses are all too ordinary."
Li Mei searched the entire mall but couldn't find a suitable gown. She sighed, feeling a sense of urgency.
"I've already contacted Miss Anna, Kyoto's most renowned fashion designer. She'll be here shortly to take your measurements and create a custom dress. Just tell her your requirements. I have a meeting, I'll see you later."
Erzhu, however, remained calm. As he spoke, he embraced Li Mei and gently kissed her forehead before reluctantly leaving.
"Alas, I guess this is the only way."
Watching Erzhu's retreating back, Li Mei sighed again. Although she was anxious, her heart was also filled with a little sweetness.
After all, Erzhu had never been so intimate with her in public. This, she supposed, was what people in big cities called making a public declaration of ownership!
Li Mei touched the spot where Erzhu had just kissed her, a blush spreading across her face.
"Yun'er, hurry up! Mr. Wang is so busy, what if he leaves?"
"Mom, you know Mr. Wang already has a fiancée, yet you want me to marry him. Isn't this just humiliating yourself? I'm not going!"
Just as Li Mei was about to return to her shop, she suddenly heard a familiar voice. She looked up and saw the same woman who had argued with her over a dress last time, dragging a girl with bright, clear eyes, hurrying towards them.
This is... here again?
Although Li Mei didn't know what was happening, she could guess most of it from the mother and daughter's conversation.
After all, she had seen such things many times.
Meanwhile, no matter how Li Yun'er struggled, Madam Li was determined to drag her to see Erzhu.
If it were anyone else, she might have given up, especially considering she was the fiancée of a powerful man. But this time, she would not give up!
Because the powerful man's fiancée was a country bumpkin!
And a widow at that!
Madam Li became more excited the more she thought about it. She couldn't wait to shove her daughter into Erzhu's arms and then trample that Miss Li under her feet!
"Hmm? Miss Li, where did Mr. Wang go?"
Just then, she suddenly realized Erzhu was nowhere to be seen. Only the widow from the countryside was on the bench.
"He's in a meeting. Are you looking for him?"
Li Mei glanced at her irritably and then at Li Yun'er behind Madam Li. A nameless anger quickly flared up.
"If he's not here, then I'll talk to you properly. Your name is Li Mei, right? You're a widow from a small village, aren't you!"
Seeing Erzhu wasn't there, Li Yun'er was about to pull her mother away, but her mother sat down directly and declared war on the powerful man's fiancée!
"Mom, why are you saying this? What's her status has nothing to do with us. As long as Mr. Wang likes her, that's all that matters. Besides, have you forgotten what happened last time?"
Li Mei was about to speak when she saw Li Yun'er forcefully tugging Madam Li and speaking up for her.
Upon hearing this, the nameless anger in Li Mei's heart quickly dissipated. From this, she realized that all of this was just Madam Li's wishful thinking.
"Her status certainly matters to us. Yun'er, even families like ours wouldn't marry a village widow, let alone a powerful figure like Mr. Wang. So, this is an opportunity for you!"
"Speaking of last time, I'm rushing to marry you to Mr. Wang precisely to avoid a repeat of what happened!"
Madam Li forcefully shook off Li Yun'er's hand, glared at her daughter with disappointment, and then grabbed Li Mei again.
This daughter really didn't take after her. She remembered herself back then, she could steal a man even when his wife was pregnant. But her daughter couldn't even win someone over when they weren't married, and she had to step in herself!
The more Madam Li thought about it, the angrier she became, and the more viciously she looked at Li Mei.
"You're right, but I know Erzhu won't mind these things. I also advise you not to waste your efforts, lest you regret it later!"
Facing Madam Li's contemptuous gaze, Li Mei did not deny it but generously admitted it.
Because from the moment she learned of Erzhu's identity, she had anticipated that something like this would happen, so she was fully prepared!
She was not like the saintly heroines in idol dramas; she would hold her own happiness in her hands!
