Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the living room of the Song residence.

Song Shan briefly made some arrangements for what was to come, then went to prepare for a press conference. The others went back to their respective rooms.

Nie Wenzhi followed Nie Xiaofei back to her room. Nie Xiaofei could not hold back any longer. She broke down and cried, “Mom, I don’t even want to live anymore. What’s the point of living in a family like this? I’m always being looked down on!”

“Enough!” Nie Wenzhi was irate. A plan she had so meticulously prepared had ended up in someone else’s benefit. Lord knows how much she felt like murdering someone when she proposed the solution to help Song Zhizhi marry Ji Baijian smoothly.

“I’ve had enough of living under their roof! I’m fed up with it, Mom!” Nie Xiaofei cried.

“You think I haven’t? Why do you think I keep suffering in this family for all these years if not for the sake of you and your brother? Do you think I’ve been having a good life?” Nie Wenzhi said, “The good life will come when your brother gains a bright future for himself.”

“But we’re now constantly being oppressed. Look at Song Zhizhi. She’s totally leading us by the nose!” Nie Xiaofei got so angry when she recalled what had happened that she wished she could kill Song Zhizhi right now to make herself feel better. “Moreover, don’t you think it’s strange, Mom? We were the ones plotting against Song Zhizhi, so why were we the ones who ended up in this state? No matter how I look at it, it doesn’t seem like an accident. How did we end up in a hotel room? I’m starting to wonder if Song Zhizhi knows something! ”

“Song Zhizhi has indeed changed. We must be wary!” Nie Wenzhi said fiercely, a malevolent glint flashing across her eyes.

“Then what can we do? Song Zhizhi will marry Ji Baijian soon!” Nie Xiaofei complained. She suddenly thought of something and asked in a panic, “Do I really have to date Wenhan?

Nie Wenzhi’s expression was hideous, “You saw what it was like just now. If I hadn’t said that, do you think the two of us can still remain in the Song family?”

“But…” Nie Xiaofei could not help crying.

She never wanted to recall what happened last night again.

“No one knows what your real relationship is,” Nie Wenzhi said sharply.

“But I… I can’t accept it.”

“You must keep your eyes on the big picture. Why think so much? What’s the big deal? I’m telling you, Xiaofei, as long as you do everything I say, there will come a day when you can have whatever you want. Whoever you want to see suffer, shall suffer!” Nie Wenzhi said through gritted teeth.

Her own frustration was probably at its limit too. She wanted nothing more than to step on some people so hard that they could never get back up.

Nie Xiaofei still had more to say, but because she was used to listening to her mother’s order ever since she was a kid, she dared not say another word. She was just eager to get rid of Song Zhizhi as quickly as possible so that she could sit firmly in the first daughter position and be married to Ji Baijian herself, becoming a real member of high society.

That day would definitely come!

Song Zhizhi, who was in the adjacent room, did not know what the vicious mother and daughter were talking about, but she did know that they must be feeling so frustrated right now that they could kill someone.

Of course, this was just the beginning.

After pondering a little, she picked up the phone and called Ji Baijian.

“Miss Song,” the voice was as cold as ever.

“My father will hold a press conference tomorrow to address the scandals involving the Song family lately. He’ll also take the chance to announce our marriage to the public. Do you know that the date has been set?”

“I know,” he said that as if the matter that had nothing to do with him.

Song Zhizhi felt like every advances she made on Ji Baijian had never resulted in a satisfactory outcome. She was fed up and was prepared to hang up the phone.

“By the way,” Ji Baijian suddenly said, “Remember you asked Yin Qin to investigate who spread the news of Yi Wenhan’s marriage proposal? Yin Qin has given me a reply. It’s currently beyond his power. The Yinhe Media Corp has very strict internal management. They were especially strict in protecting the privacy of the people who sell them information. Even the higher ups have no way to find out. This is the iron-clad rule of the Yinhe Media Corp, and it’s also why they could receive a lot of information that other media companies coudn’t get their hands on. Yin Qin is also in a precarious situation currently. Because of all the aforementioned reasons, I can’t possibly make things difficult for him.”

“Understood,” Song Zhizhi nodded.

To be honest, the identity of the informant was no longer important to Song Zhizhi. Even if she managed to find out the person’s identity, it would probably be hard to link the person back to Nie Wenzhi. Considering how cunning Nie Wenzhi was, there was no way she would make an amateur mistake like that.

“That’s all,” said Ji Baijian.

“You will attend the press conference tomorrow, right?” Song Zhizhi asked.

“I will,” his replies were always short and concise.

“Wear a black suit.” “Why?”

“I like it.”

He ignored her and hung up right away.

Song Zhizhi rolled her eyes at the phone.

What’s the big deal.

She put down the phone and lay on the bed, thinking about things.

Even though Nie Wenzhi had suffered some setbacks, there was no way she would give up so easily. Based on what happened in Song Zhizhi’s previous life, the first person Nie Wenzhi made a move on was Song Zhizhi’s brother, because her brother was the biggest threat to Yi Wenhan’s position. After that, it was her father. That way, Nie Wenzhi managed to take complete control of the Song family. Nie Wenzhi left Song Zhizhi for last, because in Nie Wenzhi’s mind, Song Zhizhi was the most useless.

But in this life, after what had happened, Nie Wenzhi would most probably make Song Zhizhi the first priority. Nie Wenzhi would definitely not regard what had happened as an accident, but she would not dare to dig so deep into it either, because doing that would risk exposing herself. So, she could only take the loss quietly.

But from now on, the Nie mother and daughter, as well as Yi Wenhan, would definitely be wary of Song Zhizhi. It would not be so easy for Song Zhizhi to trick them next time.. She must make this venomous family reveal their true colors as soon as possible so that she could kick them out of her family!
