Zhuang Nainai’s eyes widened as she listened.
So, this was the thing that Li Yufeng said would affect her.
She furrowed her brows and retorted strongly, “Do you think I care about things like these?”
Li Yufeng was silenced by this. It was a few moments before she managed to reply, “Forget it. If you don’t care about it, then I couldn’t be bothered about it either. I’m tired of all of this; I’ll get going first.”
With that, she took her bag and rounded Zhuang Nainai to make her way out.
Zhuang Nainai stared at Li Yufeng all the way until she left the cafe.
After Li Yufeng left the cafe, she waited until the cafe was out of sight before veering off into a corner. She took out her phone, changed her number, then made a call.
It was Mi Nuo on the other end of the line. “Is it all settled? Did you expose yourself?”
Li Yufeng was stern. “Nuonuo, anything we do now might just expose us. This is a crucial time for us, so don’t you go make any more silly mistakes — is that clear? If it wasn’t for your good eyesight that managed to spot them, we wouldn’t have been able to put up this show; by now, we’d have been dead! And everything we’ve done would have gone to waste.”
Mi Nuo took a deep breath. “I got it.”
Li Yufeng sighed, then replied, “Nuonuo, I know you feel indignant, but we’ve endured for so long. Do we really want our efforts to go to waste?”
Mi Nuo felt fear this time. “I understand now; I won’t ever log in to your Weibo account again. You can go back and delete that post.”
It was only now that Li Yufeng allowed herself to heave a sigh of relief. “Alright, then. They’ve always been investigating our relations.h.i.+p, so what happened today might actually be a blessing in disguise. It’ll clear their doubts once and for all, and we can be at ease for two months. Two months from now, we won’t need to endure this anymore.”
On the other end of the line, Mi Nuo’s eyes gleamed as she heard this. Two months…

On the way back home, Zhuang Nainai stayed silent as she seriously considered Li Yufeng’s question.
She had no idea why, but she felt that things seemed to flow so naturally and logically.
Mi Nuo had something on Li Yufeng, which then explained why Li Yufeng did so many evil things toward Zhuang Nainai… but why did it feel as if there was still something amiss?
Staring ahead, Zhuang Nainai furrowed her brows. Just as she was pondering, a large hand grabbed hers. “Don’t think too much. Their relations.h.i.+p isn’t that simple for sure.”
Zhuang Nainai nodded. “Right, I don’t believe that such evil mothers exist — harming one’s daughter to save one’s name? Also, before we got off the car, the look that Li Yufeng had in her eyes when looking at Mi Nuo was a bit strange.”
On the other hand, when Zhuang Nainai and Si Zhengting had both gotten out of the car, the two women would have been speaking for a long time already. How was it possible that they would just so coincidentally broach the important topic in the conversation when the two of them walked into the cafe?
Had the two women simply been talking rubbish beforehand?
Zhuang Nainai narrowed her eyes. “Si Zhengting, I have a gut feeling that they were just putting on a show for us so as to dispel our suspicions with regards to their relations.h.i.+p.”
Si Zhengting couldn’t resist curling his lips when he heard this. “Yup, you’re finally smart for once.”
Zhuang Nainai was speechless.
Zhuang Nainai didn’t care to bicker with him. Continuing to turn the issue over in her head, she wondered out loud, “But why did they do that? Are they trying to hide something?”
Just as she said this, Si Zhengting replied, “Nainai, have you realized that both of them… are somewhat similar?”
