Chapter 117: Who Is Really Scheming Against Whom!

"Wait! Lin Dazhi, what do you mean? What 'daughter-in-law of our family'?"

Hearing Lin Dazhi's words on the other end of the phone, Zhou Yue instinctively felt something was wrong, but just as she wanted to ask more, Lin Dazhi hung up the phone directly.

"Lin Dazhi, you bastard!" Zhou Yue slammed her phone onto the bed, trembling all over with rage.

"What's wrong? How can you get this angry just from a phone call?" Hearing Zhou Yue, Xie Fenglan hurried into the room to ask.

"Mom, how can this Lin Dazhi be such a heartless person? Do you know what he just said on the phone? He said he was the one who reported Liu Haibo. How can he be so wicked! What did Lao Liu ever do to him? Is this how you bully people?"

By the time she finished, Zhou Yue was crying from anger.

Originally, Liu Haibo being promoted to Vice Principal and her registering their marriage were two happy events coming at once, but now that Liu Haibo was inside, she would have to live alone right after getting married. No one could stand this!

Sure enough, hearing her daughter's words, Xie Fenglan exploded instantly.

"What? That bastard Lin Dazhi, I knew he was full of bad intentions! Relying on his bit of filthy money, he just keeps on bullying people. No, I'm going to find him. I must vent this anger!" Xie Fenglan stomped her feet and started cursing, heading toward the door as she did so.

"Stop, where are you going?" Zhou Dakui, who had been feeling annoyed by the noise in the living room, couldn't help but call out to his wife when he saw her about to leave.

"Where am I going? Didn't you hear? That bastard Lin Dazhi is the one who reported our daughter's partner! He can't stand to see our Lao Zhou Family doing well. Tell me, if it weren't for him, Haibo would already be Vice Principal! I think he's just jealous that our daughter found a better partner than him. That ungrateful wretch, that heartless bastard, I saw through him long ago!" Xie Fenglan cursed while stomping her feet.

"What's the use of you going now? Didn't you see it on the news? He's a big boss now, an entrepreneur! Even the mayor shakes his hand and talks to him. If you go over like this, I don't think you'll even get to see him; it'll just be a total embarrassment!" Zhou Dakui said huffily.

"Bullshit! I don't believe it. I want to see him, and I'll see who dares to stop me!" Xie Fenglan said, reaching for the door.

As it turned out, the moment she pulled the door open, she saw Zhang Xiaoli and was startled.

Zhang Xiaoli was also startled, as she had been about to open the door.

"Xiao... Xiaoli, why are you here? Why didn't you call ahead?" Seeing Zhang Xiaoli, the expression on Xie Fenglan's face became somewhat unnatural.

"Xiaoli? Why are you here? Aren't you with Lin Dazhi?" At this moment, Zhou Yue also walked out from the inner room and looked surprised to see Zhang Xiaoli.

"Me? With General Manager Lin? Who said that?" Hearing Zhou Yue, Zhang Xiaoli asked in confusion.

"I just called Lin Dazhi, and he said you were going to discuss work with him," Zhou Yue said.

"Oh, I did call him," Zhang Xiaoli explained.

"So that's it. Come, come in quickly." Hearing Zhang Xiaoli, a smile immediately appeared on Zhou Yue's face as she greeted her warmly.

Zhang Xiaoli nodded and entered the living room, but the expression on her face was not very pleasant.

The old couple of the Zhou Family also noticed that their daughter-in-law's expression was off.

Xie Fenglan asked cautiously, "Lili, you've come at just the right time. I was just looking for you to discuss how we should handle the wedding banquet."

"Handle what? You've deceived me like this; how can I continue living with Zhou Xiaojun?" Hearing Xie Fenglan, Zhang Xiaoli said in a mocking tone.

"Ah? Lili, what do you mean by that?" Xie Fenglan felt her heart skip a beat as she heard the tone of Zhang Xiaoli's words, and she asked hurriedly.

"What do I mean? I should be asking what you mean!"

Zhang Xiaoli took out her phone, unfolded the screen, and displayed a pre-marital medical report to the Zhou Family.

"Auntie Zhou, I remember before I registered with Xiaojun, I asked you. That policewoman said the woman who had relations with Zhou Xiaojun had AIDS, and I asked if Xiaojun was okay. You told me yourself that he was fine. I believed your words and registered with him, but look at this! How do you explain this!"

"Lili, calm down first and listen to me!" Seeing that the matter could no longer be hidden, Zhou Yue hurriedly stepped forward to grab Zhang Xiaoli's arm and said urgently.

"Sister, you don't need to explain! I'll just ask you one thing: did you know that Zhou Xiaojun was infected with AIDS?" Zhang Xiaoli asked with red eyes.

"We didn't know, Xiaoli. You have to believe your sister, we really didn't know! Your sister should be thanking you; if you hadn't gotten tested, we would still be in the dark!" Zhou Yue said hurriedly.

"Then what do we do now? Zhou Xiaojun has this disease, how can I marry him?" Zhang Xiaoli asked with red eyes, tears falling as she spoke.

"Lili, listen to your sister, don't worry yet! I've heard from others that even if you have this disease, it's not untreatable, and you can still get married and have children like normal people. Medicine is so advanced now, maybe one day this disease will be cured," Zhou Yue urged hurriedly.

Zhang Xiaoli asked through her tears, "Sister, I'll just ask one thing: did you really not know about Zhou Xiaojun's illness before? That day, the policewoman said she wanted Xiaojun to get tested. I don't believe they didn't give you the results. You were just lying to me!"

Zhang Xiaoli cried as she spoke, looking very pitiful.

However, while she was crying, she was secretly observing the reactions of the Zhou Family. She saw that there wasn't a hint of fear on Zhou Xiaojun's face; instead, there was a trace of smugness in his eyes. And the old couple of the Zhou Family didn't look as sad or distressed as she had imagined.

She sneered inwardly, thinking that her previous guess was indeed correct. This family had known the result all along; they just wanted to trick her into marrying Zhou Xiaojun.

But they didn't know that this scene today was also what she wanted to see.

"So you all want to scheme against me, right? Then watch closely and see who is really scheming against whom!"

Zhang Xiaoli sneered in her heart, but she cried even more sorrowfully.

"Lili, stop crying. People on the internet say that this disease doesn't affect marriage and it's no big deal. Just take your medicine on time and you'll be fine," Zhou Xiaojun said, stepping forward to grab Zhang Xiaoli's arm.

The latter, however, acted as if she had been electrocuted and dodged to the side before Zhou Xiaojun could touch her.

"Zhou Xiaojun, don't touch me!" Zhang Xiaoli screamed, her eyes filled with fear.

"Xiaoli, don't be like this. As long as you take precautions, this disease really isn't contagious!" Seeing this, Zhou Yue hurriedly tried to soothe her.

"You make it sound so easy! I have to live with him every day from now on, how am I supposed to take precautions? What if he passes the disease to me? Wouldn't my whole life be ruined then?" Zhang Xiaoli retreated to the doorway, looking at Zhou Xiaojun with a wary gaze, as if she were terrified of him getting close to her.
