Chapter 594: The Husband-Ruining Fate

Shi Youxuan's eyes turned slightly, and a plan came to mind.

She said, "Do you dare to forgo relying on connections and have a contest between just the two of us?"

"You want to fight with me?"

Liu Meimei's sharp voice attracted quite a few onlookers.

Shi Youxuan stroked her forehead, speechless.

This woman really has a pig's brain.

In this kind of setting, she actually thought Shi Youxuan wanted to get physical with her?

Seeing a spot allows one to see the whole leopard.

It is evident how much she must love fighting in her daily life.

Parents are a child's best teachers; Zihan is a bully in class, picking on everyone she catches, and now Shi Youxuan knows where the root cause lies.

Liu Meimei misunderstood the situation herself, yet she bit back: "Chairman Shi is so eager to fight, no wonder your daughter bullies my son; it turns out it runs in the family!"

Shi Youxuan did not want to argue with her and said calmly, "Mrs. Sun, you've misunderstood. I don't want to get physical with you; I want to make a bet with you. Do you dare?"

"A bet? Bet on what?"

Shi Youxuan: "I bet that you are an ominous person, a 'husband-ruining fate.' Do you believe it?"

"Hahahaha..."

The ladies and wives all around burst into a wave of joyful laughter.

Everyone had only ever heard of a "husband-prospering fate," and this was the first time they had heard of a "husband-ruining fate."

Although it was the first time hearing it, the meaning was not hard to understand.

After hearing this, Liu Meimei's face immediately turned the color of a pig's liver, flushed bright red.

She was furious and pointed her finger at Shi Youxuan: "You, you... you woman are too vicious. You, you are the one with the husband-ruining fate; your whole family has a husband-ruining fate."

To a woman like Liu Meimei, being called "husband-ruining" is the greatest humiliation!

Because a woman like her places all her hope and future on her husband; she has no ability to create value herself, so "husband-ruining" is equivalent to everything being over.

By the time she finished shouting, Liu Meimei was nearly hysterical.

The "elegance" she had painstakingly feigned among the wives vanished in an instant.

Seeing that the time was right, Shi Youxuan continued unhurriedly: "Mrs. Sun, I just suggested a bet, why are you in such a rush?"

Shi Youxuan's feigned innocence looked particularly grating in Liu Meimei's eyes.

She retorted: "Nonsense, is this something to bet on? You are just vicious, you woman have ill intentions..."

Shi Youxuan interrupted her: "How about this, you also bet that I have a husband-ruining fate, how about that?"

"Fine." Liu Meimei agreed quite readily, and her anger also dissipated quite a bit.

Although the "husband-ruining fate" label on her own head hadn't been removed, putting one on Shi Youxuan's head made her feel balanced.

Seeing that she was not as angry anymore, Shi Youxuan continued step by step according to her plan: "Mrs. Sun, look, the ladies and wives all around are watching us; the bet shouldn't take too long, right?"

"Should we set a deadline?"

"Fine, let's set it before the end of today's reception." Liu Meimei suddenly came up with a bad idea, so she quickly set the time.

Shi Youxuan readily agreed: "Very well, let's set it for before the end of the reception as Mrs. Sun said, and let everyone judge who really has the husband-ruining fate."

Those watching the fun don't mind the chaos, and everyone was very willing to be this witness.

Liu Meimei walked away with a wiggle.

She decided to strike first and prepared to find those "reporters" from last time, to have them spread rumors about Shi Youxuan online and cement her as having a "husband-ruining fate."

The method was simple and crude, but very effective.

No, when encountering other people, it might be very effective.

The leader of the group received Liu Meimei's call, and upon hearing that the person to be targeted was still Shi Youxuan, he immediately refused: "No, Mrs. Sun, please don't harm us. Although we want to make money, we need to have a place to spend it. We don't want to offend her."

"Beep, beep, beep—"

A busy signal came from the phone; had they actually hung up?

They actually dared to hang up on her?

Liu Meimei was furious; these people must have grown guts of steel to dare to hang up her call.

Could it be that they had earned enough money and didn't want to earn her money anymore...

She thought of many possibilities, but there was one she didn't think of—Shi Youxuan was someone she couldn't afford to provoke!

Liu Meimei would not give up; since this path wouldn't work, she would do it herself.

She returned to the hall and went among the wives herself to slander Shi Youxuan's reputation.

"Mrs. Zhang... hey, don't walk away!"

"Mrs. Li, let me tell you..."

Mrs. Li was much like Mrs. Zhang; before she could finish speaking, she immediately excused herself: "I'm sorry, Mrs. Sun, I have something to attend to, please excuse me."

She hurried away.

What "something" could she possibly have?

Liu Meimei watched as Mrs. Li went to Shi Youxuan's side and said something with a fawning expression.

The distance was too far to hear clearly, but she could feel that she had been betrayed.

"Hmph! Traitor."

She was incredibly angry.

This Mrs. Li had a very good relationship with their family; their family's current status and comfort depended entirely on Sun Qing's side earnings.

Usually, Mrs. Li and Liu Meimei also had a very good relationship, getting along like sisters, yet in just ten minutes, she had treated her like this?

Liu Meimei was very angry and turned to talk to someone else.

She thought to herself, so what if one or two people ignore me?

I'll just go find someone else.

You may ignore me now, but soon I will make you unable to afford to climb high to reach me.

But very quickly she discovered—it wasn't like that!

All the ladies and wives seemed to have agreed beforehand; as soon as they saw her coming, they immediately dodged away.

Just dodging her wouldn't have been anything, but what was most infuriating was that they actually ran over to Shi Youxuan's side to curry favor.

Bringing fruit, bringing pastries, serving drinks...

Liu Meimei couldn't swallow her anger, so she followed them over.

"Shi Youxuan, you've gone too far. Is it that you can't compete through normal channels, so you have to resort to conspiracies and petty tricks?"

Shi Youxuan put down her phone and smiled charmingly: "Oh? I am using normal channels. I don't know what kind of tricks you are talking about, Madam Sun?"

She was so angry she couldn't help herself and shouted: "Playing dumb, you're playing dumb. Shi Youxuan, is playing dumb fun? Do you really have to make me spell it out? Do you have no shame at all..."

Shi Youxuan said: "I am not playing dumb. I truly don't know what conspiracy you are talking about. Please enlighten me, Madam Sun."

Liu Meimei: "You took advantage of my absence to incite the ladies to be friendly with you and not with me."

Pfft!

Shi Youxuan couldn't hold it back and laughed out loud.

These were all things Liu Meimei herself wanted to do, but since she didn't succeed, she took it for granted that Shi Youxuan would do the same.

Yet when she was the one doing it, she felt it was a perfectly normal thing.

But when it came to Shi Youxuan, she felt it was a conspiracy, using despicable means to achieve ulterior motives!

"What you're talking about is probably what you yourself wanted to do, right?" Shi Youxuan hit the nail on the head.

"Nonsense, I didn't..."

She was halfway through her sentence when she was interrupted again—the phone rang.

The ringtone was exclusive to her husband.

"You wait right there, don't go anywhere."

Liu Meimei dropped a harsh threat and went to the side to answer the phone.

"Husband, what is it?"

Sun Qing was furious: "You go immediately and apologize to Chairman Shi. You useless thing who can't accomplish anything but ruins everything, did you treat what I told you as wind in your ears!"

"If you keep acting like this, our whole family will be left drinking the northwest wind. You go and admit your mistake to Chairman Shi, now, immediately, right this second."

"Husband, have you lost your mind?"

Liu Meimei shrieked: "Why should I apologize to her? I'm not going, I did nothing wrong."
