Chapter 96

Hearing Su Yimeng say in such an emotionally broken way that she wanted to leave the Su family, Ding Ling immediately anxiously asked: "What's wrong? Mengmeng, what exactly happened?"

Is someone in the Su family bullying you?

Su Yimeng over there had a gloomy, dark gaze, her voice trembling with tears, she sobbed:

"No, everyone in the Su family treats me well.

But, but Yan Moci doesn't love me; he even... publicly humiliated me.

Mom, just because I'm an illegitimate daughter, do they all look down on me and can they bully me at will?"

Ding Ling couldn't bear hearing Su Yimeng say she was an illegitimate child; that sounded like calling her a shameless mistress.

Moreover, to educate Su Yimeng, she had expended an unknown amount of effort.

But considering Su Yimeng's current bad mood, she immediately comforted:

"How could that be? Mengmeng, you have never been an illegitimate child.

Don't you remember? Mom told you that before your father got married, I already had you.

Moreover, you are now the sole Eldest daughter-in-law of the Su family.

From now on, no one will ever look down on you again! Not even Yan Moci, the most prestigious man in Jingcheng, can do that!

Su Yimeng saw Ding Ling take up the conversation, the corner of her mouth curled in a triumphant smile, yet she continued to say:

"But Mom, why does Yan Moci never give me a proper glance?

And every time he sees me speak, he keeps saying I'm using despicable tricks.

Despicable tricks.

That sentence stabbed into Ding Ling's spine.

Isn't that just despicable tricks?

Back then, Ding Ling thought Su Qingming was a wealthy man, so she disguised herself as a pure, naive rich young lady to approach him.

But she never expected that Su Qingming was also a con artist!

Ding Ling was unwilling to be cheated out of money and beauty, and she never wanted to let go of Su Qingming.

Su Qingming wasn't a good person; over these years Ding Ling has also had many affairs with other men.

However, she had given birth to a child, and as she aged and lost her beauty, plus she only had these tricks; otherwise she wouldn't have fallen into Su Qingming's hands, and naturally there was no hope of turning things around.

Now she has placed all her hopes on Su Yimeng; back when the matter of Xiwei marrying into the Yan family came up, Su Qingming hadn't failed to ask her about it.

But even if the Yan family were rich, if Yan Moci died, the Yan family would still fall into the hands of other Yan relatives; what would that have to do with Su Yimeng!

Moreover, when Su Qingming inadvertently revealed that Xiwei possessed the Jade Ruyi, Ding Ling instantly had an idea.

Have Xiwei act as a substitute bride; then her reputation would be ruined, and she would be left guarding a living widow.

Her daughter could then become the legitimate eldest daughter of the Tieshan Su Clan, enjoying countless affection.

She had long inquired: aside from having a son, the Su family had not added any children in these years.

The Su family's eldest son, Su Nianyin, has been abroad year-round and hasn't returned for a long time.

Once Su Yimeng becomes the eldest daughter of the Su family, she can have whatever she wants, which is a hundred times better than clinging to power and nobility.

Thinking of this, Ding Ling couldn't help but feel once again that her earlier decision to stop Su Qingming from sending Su Yimeng to a wealthy old merchant as a concubine was extremely correct.

However, thinking about what Su Yimeng just said, Ding Ling suddenly thought:

Clearly Su Yimeng has always been lovable; even if Yan Moci feels nothing for her, it wouldn't reach the point of him disliking her so much right away.

Could it be?!

Ding Ling suddenly opened her eyes wide,

Could it be that that little slut Xiwei refuses to divorce Yan Moci, so she's been whispering pillow talk beside him!?

The more Ding Ling thought, the more she felt this was the case; Xiwei had indeed seized the initiative.

During the time she stayed by Yan Moci's side, she didn't know how to claim credit, and it's even possible that Yan Moci's awakening would be credited to her.

Otherwise, her substitute bride identity would obviously be easy to expose; why hasn't she been driven away yet?

Xiwei is truly shameless!

Thinking of this, Ding Ling's anger flared up instantly!

She fiercely said: "Mengmeng, rest assured, Mom knows what's going on.

It must be that Xiwei saw Yan Moci awaken, then greedily craved wealth and status, wanting to continue as the Yan family's young mistress!

What a pipe dream for her! Rest assured, I will definitely have Su Qingming completely ruin this matter for her!

So she can't stay in the Su family any longer!

Hearing Ding Ling indeed think of Xiwei, Su Yimeng smiled satisfiedly,

but she worriedly said: "Mom, Xiwei is now Yan Moci's lawfully wedded wife, the proper Eldest daughter-in-law of the Yan family.

How can you make her leave Yan Moci? Even Su Muye can't sway Yan Moci's thoughts, so how could you...

Ding Ling sneered: "Su Qingming back then used an old lady to get Xiwei married into the Yan family.

I heard that on that day the old lady bumped into a wall at the Su residence and was then hidden by Xiwei, but Su Qingming is her son; if he wants to find his mother to properly fulfill filial duty,

who could possibly stop him? I dare anyone to try!

As long as we get hold of that old lady again, then Xiwei will be at our mercy!

Su Yimeng feigned a question: "But what if the grandmother is still unconscious?

Ding Ling gave a cold snort: "Heh, it's better if she stays unconscious, so she won't wake up and act like a chaste martyr committing suicide.

Dead old lady, even though she knows Xiwei isn't her biological granddaughter, after raising a dog for so long you develop feelings.

She actually would rather commit suicide to protect Xiwei, nearly ruining things! Fortunately, we didn't delay the Su family recognizing you back.

Su Yimeng finally hung up the phone satisfied.

Only now did the annoyance from just being humiliated by Yan Moci finally subside.

Her face remained as delicate and fragile as a small white flower, but the scheming darkness in her eyes made people feel startled.

After leaving at mealtime, Yan Moci returned to the Yan Clan to continue working.

Dongzi suddenly entered to report: "Boss, our people discovered during the audit that the Yan Clan's accounts have serious problems."

Yan Moci frowned, "What's going on?"

He produced a thick stack of audit reports and held them in front of Yan Moci.

Dongzi's tone was unprecedentedly tense: "Boss, we found that all the surface accounts of the company appear to have no major problems."

But in reality, starting two years ago, large sums of money have continuously been transferred into an overseas account.

It appears to be normal business dealings, but in fact it is transferring huge amounts of the company's assets.

Based on the amount we have audited so far, the company's secretly transferred funds have already reached as high as 100 billion US dollars!

Hearing this shocking figure, Yan Moci furrowed his brows instantly.
