Madam Wan fought back her anger, a cold smirk curling the corners of her lips. Fine, let us see what else you can come up with.
After all, making the Si family go bankrupt a second earlier or a second later was just a matter of a single word from her.
The murderous intent in Madam Wan's eyes was already quite obvious.
Everyone present could tell that she wanted to destroy the Si family.
If Wen Yan had any sense, she would immediately apologize to her. Perhaps there would still be room to salvage the situation.
Madam Tang kept winking and signaling at Wen Yan.
Seeing that Wen Yan remained unmoved, Madam Tang looked at Si Moyan.
Si Moyan had been guarding Wen Yan's side from the very beginning, showing no intention of stopping her from continuing.
This couple was truly a bit too young.
Thoroughly offending Madam Wan would do them no good at all.
Madam Tang, Madam Lu, and Madam Sun all secretly broke into a cold sweat for Wen Yan and Si Moyan.
They hoped that she would not say any more of those appalling things.
Wen Yan met Madam Wan's forceful and sharp gaze, speaking unhurriedly, Madam Wan, you dislike women with foxy faces. In truth, it is not because your husband's lover looks like a fox, but because your father once had a woman with a foxy appearance.
When your mother found out your father had another woman on the outside, she could not control him, so she took her anger out on you. As a result, you grew up hating seductive-looking women, always feeling that it was because of that kind of woman that you were not loved.
Later, your mother fell ill and passed away. Your father married that woman and brought her home to be your stepmother. Your stepmother then gave birth to a younger brother for you, and you became even less valued at home. You secretly swore in your heart that you would definitely make a name for yourself in the future, surpass your brother, and make your father look at you with new respect.
After you graduated from university, your family wanted to arrange a marriage for you. You chose the Wan family because Mr. Wan is an only child, and your mother-in-law passed away very early. You did not have to worry about Mr. Wan splitting the inheritance with siblings later, nor did you have to worry about mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship issues.
But you overlooked one thing. After you married into the family, you discovered that Mr. Wan did not hold the actual power of Wanye Bank; the real power was in your father-in-law's hands.
Mr. Wan's passion is to become a painter. He has no ambition for corporate management; he is a typical romantic. But you are highly ambitious. How could you bear marrying in and getting absolutely nothing out of it?
Right around that time, you discovered that there were women outside seducing your father-in-law, wanting to bear his children. You felt an even greater sense of crisis, so you came up with an extremely vicious idea.
You drugged Mr. Wan's food, rendering him infertile. Meanwhile, you took his medical examination report and went crying to your father-in-law. One thing led to another, and the two of you actually—
When Wen Yan reached this point, Madam Wan had gone completely stiff. The hairs on her body stood on end, and a fine layer of goosebumps erupted on her arms.
Madam Wan's heart was beating faster than ever before. The look she gave Wen Yan contained not only a deadly chill but also a trace of palpitation and panic.
However, she did not show it on her face. She merely tightened her grip on her phone, the veins on the back of her hand bulging slightly.
Shut up! After steadying her nerves, Madam Wan glared at Wen Yan with sharp, cold eyes. What a load of nonsense. Believe it or not, I can make sure you never leave Hong Kong City!
Looking at Madam Wan's gaze, which seemed ready to swallow her alive, Wen Yan could not help but laugh. Do not look at me like that, I am not Wangzai.
Pfft—
Someone could not hold back their laughter.
It is the classic Wangzai commercial catchphrase: Look at me, keep looking at me, and I will drink you up. I have to say, this Miss Wen is quite amusing!
But are the things she is saying made up or calculated? It sounds so detailed, it feels like it is real!
How could Wen Yan stop now? Stopping halfway through enjoying gossip would be sheer torture!
Madam Tang stepped forward and said, Sister Wan, since you told Xiao Yan to speak the truth, you cannot just let her stop halfway, right?
Whatever.
She did not want to try and persuade the couple, Wen Yan and Si Moyan, anymore.
Anyway, the two of them had already offended Madam Wan thoroughly.
It was a chop of the knife whether they stuck their necks out or pulled them back.
At worst, their Tang family would go down with them.
This gossip had to be consumed in its entirety today.
Xiao Yan, please continue!
Madam Wan shot a sharp, warning glare at Madam Tang.
Madam Tang sat together with Madam Lu and Madam Sun, still clutching a handful of sunflower seeds, completely ignoring Madam Wan's glare.
Madam Wan was so furious that her chest heaved violently.
She had no idea where Wen Yan had learned those dark secrets, and she had hit the nail on the head with every single one.
In short, this person had to be eliminated!
Wen Yan's mouth was dry from talking. She coughed, and Si Moyan immediately handed her a bottle of beverage.
After taking a few sips, Wen Yan continued, Old Master Wan naturally did not want the Wan family line to end. Coupled with Madam Wan's intentional or unintentional seduction and hints, one thing led to another, and the father-in-law and daughter-in-law ended up rolling in bed together.
Hearing this, everyone gasped.
This was truly a melodramatic, juicy piece of wealthy family gossip.
Madam Wan's face looked as if it were about to crack open.
Madam Tang glanced at Madam Wan.
Oh my.
She had known Madam Wan for over ten years. Usually, relying on her higher status and position, Madam Wan never missed a chance to boss her around.
This was the first time she had seen her terrified and uneasy side.
Xiao Yan was indeed quite capable.
Fortunately, she had become friends with Xiao Yan and was not standing on her opposing side.
Otherwise, even her underwear would have been stripped off and exposed.
The father-in-law and daughter-in-law rolling into bed is nothing. The most crucial part is—
Madam Wan could no longer sit still. Flushed with shame and anger, she picked up a glass of red wine and threw it directly at Wen Yan's face. Shut your mouth!
Just as the red wine was about to splash onto Wen Yan's face, a tall figure moved swiftly and cleanly to block her.
The red wine splashed entirely onto Si Moyan's sharply contoured, handsome face.
Wen Yan's originally somewhat bright expression instantly darkened.
She was a person who was extremely protective of her own.
She could not be bothered to respond to people being passive-aggressive or even getting physical with her.
But doing so to her husband and family was absolutely unacceptable.
Of course, the family in her heart referred to the people who truly treated her well.
She had never cared about those scumbags in the Wen family.
Therefore, before anyone could react, Wen Yan directly grabbed an uncapped bottle of red wine and poured it right over Madam Wan's head.
Madam Wan instantly looked even more wretched than Si Moyan.
Coming back to her senses, Madam Wan widened her eyes in disbelief. Are you crazy?
Having managed Wanye Bank for over ten years, Madam Wan was long used to being surrounded by followers and sitting high and mighty.
Almost no one dared to disobey her; even her maiden family treated her with the utmost respect.
It could be said that Madam Wan could practically do whatever she pleased in Hong Kong City.
Had Wen Yan become insanely reckless? How dare she pour a bottle of red wine on her?
Lucy and Wen Yiheng were so shocked by Wen Yan's actions that their mouths hung open, absolutely dumbfounded.
I am not crazy. Whoever dares to touch my husband, I won not let her have an easy time either! When Wen Yan's eyes turned cold, her aura was not inferior to Madam Wan's in the slightest.
As their gazes and auras clashed in a standoff, the crowd was surprised to find that Wen Yan actually seemed to have the upper hand.
Si Moyan wiped the red wine from his face and pulled Wen Yan to his side.
"Mrs. Wan, you were the one who asked my wife to read your fortune. She is straightforward and tells it like it is. What, did she hit a sore spot? Are you a sore loser?"
Mrs. Tang chimed in, "Sister Wan, we all saw you make the first move. You flew into a rage out of humiliation and lost your composure. Could it be that Xiao Yan hit the nail on the head?"
The others nodded in agreement.
"She probably did. Who would have thought that Mrs. Wan's daughter is actually her father-in-law's child."
"No wonder Mr. Wan later found a mistress. A daughter turning into a sister—no man could stomach that!"
Mrs. Wan's hands, hanging by her sides, clenched tightly into fists.
Looking at Wen Yan's unflinching gaze, her heart couldn't help but leap into her throat.
Just what was this woman's background?
She hadn't even given her her birth date and eight characters, so how did this woman know her past so clearly?
Mrs. Wan swallowed hard, suppressing the fear and panic in her heart. "Fine, I'll give you the jade bracelet for free. Can you shut up now?"
Wen Yan smiled faintly. "Mrs. Wan, an arrow once fired cannot be drawn back. Even if I wanted to shut up, why don't you ask the others if they're willing to let me?"
The others shook their heads one after another. "No way! Miss Wen, keep talking, we all want to hear it!"
Mrs. Wan's face turned a bruised shade of livid.
She finally understood what it meant to shoot oneself in the foot.
Dealing with one or two wealthy families alone wouldn't be a problem for her, but if all these powerful families united against her, she wouldn't stand a chance.
A pyrrhic victory of killing a thousand enemies but losing eight hundred of her own—she wouldn't do something like that.
Mrs. Wan gritted her teeth.
If Wen Yan continued, as long as she vehemently denied it, the woman wouldn't have any evidence anyway.
Thinking this, Mrs. Wan calmed down a little.
Wen Yan continued, "The most crucial part is that after Mrs. Wan got pregnant, Mr. Wan didn't know he was infertile at the time. Thinking the child was his, he was incredibly considerate and took excellent care of Mrs. Wan."
"Even though it was an arranged marriage, Mr. Wan was quite a traditional man. He genuinely treated whoever he married well. But little did he know, he had married a venomous scorpion!"
"There are no secrets in this world. When Mrs. Wan was pregnant with her second child, Mr. Wan accidentally discovered a DNA report done by Old Mr. Wan and the eldest daughter. Seeing that his eldest daughter was actually his own father's child, he was struck as if by a bolt of lightning."
"Unable to bear the blow, Mr. Wan didn't return home for nearly a month. When Mrs. Wan and the old man noticed something was wrong, they devised a venomous scheme. They hired a woman to actively seduce Mr. Wan, creating the illusion of his infidelity. Then, they filmed a video to blackmail him, forcing Mr. Wan to keep the secret of their affair and the illegitimate daughter."
"Mr. Wan genuinely believed he had messed up while drunk. He fell into a slump of depression for a while, until that woman asked to meet him by the sea..."
"As for why Mr. Wan and that woman were found stark naked and entangled together when their bodies were discovered, that's another incident entirely. In short, Mr. Wan was not the scumbag the rumors made him out to be. On the contrary, he was the ultimate victim, a genuinely good man!"
Hearing Wen Yan's words, Mrs. Wan threw her head back and burst into uncontrollable laughter.
"Hahaha, you're just spinning tales here! You should go be a screenwriter for TVB!" With that said, Mrs. Wan's expression suddenly turned cold. "You are spreading rumors and slandering me, ruining my reputation. I will have my lawyer sue you. Just wait to go to jail!"
Wen Yan scoffed, her tone becoming equally icy. "Mrs. Wan, with your doom at hand, what ability do you still have to sue me?"
Mrs. Wan was just about to say something when suddenly, a voice as cold as frost sounded from behind her. "I have evidence of your crimes. I have already reported you under my real name. The one who is about to lose everything and go to jail is you!"
Mrs. Wan immediately turned her head to look.
Seeing the person striding toward her, Mrs. Wan's pupils contracted violently.
Never in her wildest dreams did she imagine that everything Wen Yan said would come true, and even less did she expect that the person who reported her would actually be—
