“Get what I want?” When she heard this, the corner of Mi Nuo’s lip betrayed a sense of bitterness. “Do you know what I actually want?”

“Of course I do — you want Mr. Si to love you!”

That sentence stunned Mi Nuo. Pausing to compose herself, she spoke once more when she was calmer. “How do you know?”

“Nuonuo, I’m your mother. A mother knows her daughter best. Why wouldn’t I know what you’re thinking deep down in your heart?”

At the mention of “I’m your mother,” Mi Nuo’s eyes narrowed and she gave a cold laugh. “So what if you’re my mother? So what if you know what I want? The last time you tried to sow discord between them, didn’t you fail terribly? Also, she’s pregnant already, so what is she still doing in the company?!”

“Nuonuo, calm down. You know, the more successful something is, the likelier it is for it to have problems in the future. Wait a little while more, okay? I know, and Mother will help you get it done.”

Mi Nuo bit her lips, staring at the computer screen. Ji Chen still hadn’t replied to her. Did that mean that trying to get Zhuang Nainai out of the company using threats was not going to work?

She clenched her fists and said after a few moments, “Okay, I’ll trust you this time.”

“Nuonuo, if you don’t trust me, who can you trust? I’m your mother! Whatever you do in the future, be sure to let me know, okay?”

Mi Nuo lowered her head and gave a cold grunt in reply.

Li Yufeng spoke once more. “Also, you have to behave well in front of Mr. Si. Now that Zhuang Nainai is pregnant, I’ll tell them to stay in line, and you... take your chances, but whatever you choose to do, make sure you don’t expose yourself.”

“Okay.”

At the Gu villa, Li Yufeng was hiding in the living room balcony. She hung up the phone, and just as she did so, she turned around and noticed Gu Xingshan walking in.

They stared at each other. Gu Xingshan was stunned for a moment before continuing on her way up the stairs.

Ever since she had been wrongfully accused of stealing the design drafts, Gu Xingshan had not been speaking to Li Yufeng. She even had the feeling that the familiar world she knew was breaking down.

She recalled how, when she was in kindergarten, she had been accused of stealing her classmate’s pencil case. That time, her mother had kicked up a fuss in the school and had told her that anything could be thrown away except for one thing — their face.

What was more, a case of theft was something that would seriously tarnish one’s reputation.

She had only started kindergarten, but her mother had been so cautious regarding her reputation. But what about now?

She was in university and was about to graduate and truly enter high society... and now her mother was smearing her!

At the thought of this, Gu Xingshan’s heart ached. Her eyes reddening, she continued upstairs.

“Shanshan!” Li Yufeng called out from behind her. Gu Xingshan didn’t turn around, but she stopped in her footsteps.

Li Yufeng quickly said, “I knew you’d be home today, so I got you your favorite matcha cake; it’s in the fridge. Also, I boiled your favorite winter melon soup too. Didn’t you tell your father last month about a Gucci skirt you liked? I got that for you too...”

Those words only caused a sour feeling to grow in Gu Xingshan’s heart. She pursed her lips and finally turned around to look at Li Yufeng.

For the past month, Li Yufeng had been intentionally trying to curry her favor. She was well aware of that.

But the way that Li Yufeng had unapologetically slapped her that day made her unable to forgive.

Gu Xingshan narrowed her eyes and curled her fists into balls. “Are you trying to get me to forgive you?”
