*BANG!* Someone broke down the door.

“Gu Man! Xi Cheng!” Han Yuan exclaimed. She was so angry at the scene before her that she was trembling. “Quick, separate them!”

“Ah!” Lin Yu cried out and went limp. Fortunately, a maid was there to hold her up. Tears streamed down Lin Yu’s face as she watched the household staff separate Xi Cheng and Gu Man in a flurry. She covered her mouth and turned to run off.

Han Yuan slapped Gu Man hard across the face, and Gu Man fell onto the sofa. She held a hand to her face and said tremblingly, “Godmother, 1—”

Han Yuan vibrated in anger as she demanded, “I know hes drunk to delirium, but what’s your excuse? Don’t tell me you’re also delirious! How could you?! Lin Yu is your best friend, and you want to snatch her husband? You’re even worse than Fang Xi!”

“Godmother!” Gu Man kneeled by Han Yuan’s feet and sobbed. “Godmother! It—

it wasn’t me! It was Xi Cheng! Xi Cheng, he, I—I couldn’t stop him..

Han Yuan stepped back, disdainfully avoiding Gu Man’s reaching hands, and sneered, “Oh? Are you saying he forced himself on you? If that’s so, don’t you know to call for help? Did that never occur to you? You saw an opportunity, so you simply went along with it! You’ve been eyeing Xi Cheng for a long time, haven’t you?”

“And poor Lin Yu treats you like her best friend. You disappoint me, Gu Man!

Someone, please see Miss Gu to the door. Don’t come around in the future, Miss Gu. The Xi family doesn’t welcome you!” That said, Han Yuan turned around and walked away. Gu Man sank to her knees in despair, her clothes drenched in sweat.

Xi Cheng lay at the side, completely drunk. When the household staff helped him up, he was still dazedly mumbling, “Don’t go, Fang Xi. Don’t go. Don’t leave me!” Gu Man’s heart froze and fell.

Han Yuan rushed to Lin Yu’s room, and her heart ached when she saw Lin Yu crying so hard that she was heaving. Lin Yu threw herself into Han Yuan’s arms, and Han Yuan comforted her, “There, there, don’t cry. It’s all Xi Cheng’s fault. Auntie will ask him to apologize to you.”

Lin Yu sobbed and sniffled, “It’s not his fault… Xi Cheng, he’s so drunk he doesn’t—doesn’t know anything at all. It’s my fault. I have poor taste in friends and have made the wrong choices. It’s is all my fault!”

Han Yuan fell silent; she, too, had been deceived by Gu Man for so long. Lin Yu’s eyes were red and swollen from crying, but that didn’t stop her from seeing Han Yuan’s expression. She decided to give Han Yuan an extra push and worriedly asked, “Auntie, if word of this gets out, it’ll be even worse for Xi

Cheng and our family’s reputation.”

Han Yuan came back to her senses and patted Lin Yu’s shoulder. “Don’t worry.

Gu Man can’t possibly spread such a scandal around.”

Lin Yu lowered her head and wept softly. Han Yuan frowned and contemplated. “We can’t let things go on like this; it’s just one trouble after another. I think you and Xi Cheng should get married as soon as possible. You can rightfully keep Xi Cheng in line after you guys are married, and with the identity of Mrs. Xi, it’ll be more convenient for you to do things.”

Han Yuan’s words seemed to stun Lin Yu. “Auntie—”

Han Yuan patted her hand and cut her off. “I know your wedding date is supposed to be in a year’s time, but plans can change. The situation is different now, so why can’t we be flexible? This way, Xi Cheng will settle down. Otherwise, I don’t think he’ll give up on Fang Xi!” Han Yuan snarled her last sentence through gritted teeth. She was really frustrated by this son of hers!

Han Yuan gave Lin Yu a few more words of comfort before leaving Lin Yu’s room. Lin Yu leaned against the door when it closed and slowly slid down to the carpet. She covered her face with her hands and laughed lightly. She tried hard to suppress her laughter and curled up on the carpet, trembling with mirth.

‘Xi Cheng is mine, and no one can take him away from me,’ she thought. ‘Not FangXi, and definitely not Gu Man, either!

Not all women can be handled the same way; different methods are required to deal with different women. Fang Xi thought she loved Xi Cheng very much, but that actually wasn’t the case; Fang Xi loved herself more! Because what she wanted was love—love with self-respect. When one truly loves a man, they’ll love him to the bone, so why care about self-esteem?

Women like Gu Man were the ones who didn’t care about self-esteem. She was like a fly that would circle and pounce the moment she smelled her prey— unapologetically shameless. The only way to deal with such a woman was to find the right time and swat the “fly” to death to prevent any future trouble.

Having had her fill of laughter, Lin Yu slowly got up, raised her head, and wiped her tears off her face before smiling smugly. ‘There’s no need to rush; I’m notin a hurry. Whoever has the last laugh is the winner, so short-term gains and losses aren’t important. The loss ofreputation is only temporary; it doesn’t matter. After a while, when something new comes along, the public will quickly forget all about this small incident.’

‘However, I’ll soon be the rightful Mrs. Xi, and Fang Xi and Gu Man can only grovel at my feet forever, rotting in hell..’
