Ch 113: This Matter Can’t Just Be Left Like This
Now, seeing Shen Mingyue and they return, I can only grit my teeth and ask about this matter.
Shen Mingyue knew that Zhou Xiaofei would strike first, so she greeted Gu Yuanzhou beforehand. Unexpectedly, she guessed right.
Several people sat in the living room, Shen Mingyue feigning surprise.
“Parents, what are you saying? You’re saying Xiaofei pulled down her pants in front of all the school teachers?”
This news is too explosive. Shen Mingyue really couldn’t control her gossiping heart. It turns out the powder was a laxative. Zhou Xiaofei, in order to get rid of her, wished she could pour in a whole bag.
Now it’s good. Cleverness outwits itself; she directly pulled down her pants in front of all the school teachers. Just imagining the scene feels darkly satisfying.
A woman doing such a shameful thing, she really has no face to live. It’s no wonder Zhou Xiaofei is so distraught.
But Shen Mingyue doesn’t sympathize with her at all. If she hadn’t been clever and diffused the situation in time, it would have been her pulling down her pants, and at such an important occasion. Then forget about bringing glory to the nation; she would have disgraced the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
This woman is truly vicious. She’s afraid Shen Mingyue will steal the spotlight.
Gu Yuanzhou’s face turned ashen upon hearing this. Giving a pregnant woman a strong laxative—this isn’t just to make Shen Mingyue lose face on the day of the meeting; this is also an attempt to take the life of the child in her belly.
She failed in her attempt to steal something and lost what she had. Now that Shen Mingyue has cleverly diffused the situation, she’s even turning the tables, blaming Shen Mingyue. This absolutely cannot be tolerated.
“Xiaofei said someone saw you give her the medicine. Honestly, Mom doesn’t quite believe it. Is there some misunderstanding?”
Shen Mingyue gave a cold laugh and shook her head directly under the watchful eyes of everyone.
“It’s not a misunderstanding. I did give her the medicine.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar. Even Wang Cuie looked at her daughter with shock.
Because after Zhou Xiaofei was taken home by her family, she had been making a fuss and even wanted to commit suicide, saying she couldn’t live anymore.
It seemed serious, but it turned out Shen Mingyue was the culprit.
Zhou Xiaofei is no longer having diarrhea, but her energy is somewhat depleted. At this moment, she is limping out of the living room.
Hearing Shen Mingyue directly admit it, she was even more angry and trembling.
“So it was really you! Shen Mingyue, you are so vicious! Do you know how much face I lost at school today? How will I ever work again? I might as well die! What’s the point of living? A girl’s reputation is ruined!”
Zhou Xiaofei said, and was about to hit the wall, but Gu Yuanyang pulled her away.
“What are you doing? Don’t be impulsive. Let’s talk things out.”
At this time, Gu Jianjun and they also had opinions about Shen Mingyue. It’s normal to have minor conflicts at home, but taking things this far is a bit excessive.
Although Shen Mingyue now holds a high position in the Gu family and is pregnant with twins, she cannot bully people like this.
Gu Jianjun’s face also turned cold, “Mingyue, why did you do this? Even if Xiaofei did something wrong, you shouldn’t be so extreme. She is a girl; she needs face. What you did is tantamount to driving her to death!”
Facing her father-in-law’s questioning, Shen Mingyue nodded seriously.
“Then let her die.”
Everyone instantly felt that Shen Mingyue was too much. How could she talk like that?
Just as everyone was thinking about how to solve this matter, a reversal came.
“After all, today, either she would have an accident or I would. Her losing face in front of all the school teachers was her own doing. She can’t blame others.”
Now everyone’s expressions changed. There is some gossip here!
“Mingyue, what exactly is going on?”
Wang Cuie was worried. Her daughter is so kind; how could she do such a vicious thing? There must be a reason.
Gu Jianjun and they were also curious, “Mingyue, why do you say that?”
Shen Mingyue looked at Zhou Xiaofei and started to tell lies with a straight face.
“Today, when I was using the toilet at school, because I didn’t bring any toilet paper, I was going to go back to get some, but I saw Zhou Xiaofei at my seat, sprinkling a bag of powder into my water cup and shaking it. So I didn’t drink the water; I poured it directly into her cup. Now I know; it was a strong laxative.”
Having said this, Shen Mingyue continued, “As for why she would give me this strong laxative, everyone can think for themselves. I was going to attend a meeting today. If I had drunk that cup of water, the person pulling down their pants might have been me. Dad, Mom, you also know what kind of occasion it was today. I attended as Gu Yuanzhou’s wife. If I had done such a shameful thing in front of foreign guests, what would the consequences be?”
Shen Mingyue spoke plausibly; it didn’t seem like she was making things up. After Gu Jianjun and they heard this, they didn’t say anything.
Just thinking about that scene made them change their expressions.
Because of Zhou Xiaofei’s matter, they hadn’t had time to ask about today’s situation. Even without asking, they knew how important today’s occasion was.
If Shen Mingyue had really done such a shameful deed, not only would the Ministry of Foreign Affairs lose face, but it would also become national news. As for their Gu family, they would certainly lose face as well.
Zhou Xiaofei panicked. She didn’t expect the process of events to be like this. God is too playful. How could he let Shen Mingyue see?
So she was like a fool, played by someone.
“You’re talking nonsense! Why would I give you medicine for no reason?”
“Why give you medicine? You should ask yourself that, Zhou Xiaofei. I, Shen Mingyue, dare to swear that this medicine was put in my cup by you. Now that you’ve made a fool of yourself, it’s your own fault. If I’m lying, may I, Shen Mingyue, suffer a miserable death, be impoverished, plagued by illness, and always have bad luck! Do you dare to swear?”
Zhou Xiaofei froze. Shen Mingyue’s oath was too harsh. She didn’t want to curse herself like that, but with the current situation, she could only grit her teeth and swear.
But just as she hesitated, everyone saw the abnormality.
If she had been wronged and harmed like this, she wouldn’t be showing this expression.
Which member of the Gu family isn’t shrewd? They can see through people’s expressions.
Gu Jianjun looked disappointed, “Xiaofei, did you really do it? Why did you do this? Do you know that your second sister-in-law is pregnant? She can’t take any medicine. You’re not just making her lose face; you’re trying to kill her!”
Zhou Xiaofei was stunned. She had already sworn, but why didn’t they believe her?
“Zhou Xiaofei, last time you got Song Xue to report me, I didn’t even settle the score with you. Now you’re getting more and more excessive. If I don’t teach you a lesson, I’d be doing myself a disservice.”
“Mingyue, what’s going on?”
Gu Jianjun’s face was even darker.
Shen Mingyue immediately told about Zhou Xiaofei instigating Song Xue to write the whistleblower letter.
Zhou Xiaofei’s face was pale, still trying to explain.
“Do you have evidence? Just saying I did it? Don’t wrong me!”
