Chapter 944: The Green Tea Exposes Herself

"Hah!"

Shi Youxuan sneered: "You're actually telling the truth for once. How much do you plan to extort?"

"One hundred thousand."

A woman's mind is as full of holes as a sieve; she couldn't tell the truth about the amount.

If the amount exceeded a certain sum, she would be sentenced to many years in prison even if she didn't succeed. In a split second, she had made up her mind, so she blurted out the figure of one hundred thousand.

Besides, no one else knew, and she hadn't even started "negotiating" yet, so saying a smaller amount wouldn't hurt!

But Shi Youxuan didn't believe her.

She shook her head: "You're still not being honest. If you won't tell the truth, forget it. I don't want to talk to you anymore. Let's just handle this matter however it needs to be handled." She put on an air of being ready to do things by the book and stood up to leave.

Madam Sun panicked immediately.

She had racked her brains so hard to—

"Don't go, please don't go! I'll tell the truth. I wanted... I wanted to extort one million from you!"

"Hah!"

Shi Youxuan couldn't be bothered to say more and walked out without looking back.

"Stop! I'll tell you the truth."

The woman looked miserable and repeatedly promised to tell the truth, but still didn't, asking worriedly instead: "You won't use this amount as evidence of my attempted extortion to send me to Prison, will you?"

Shi Youxuan turned back and looked at her: "I already have plenty of your misdeeds in my hands; one more doesn't make a difference. What you did a few days ago is enough for you to spend the rest of your life in Prison, but if you're willing to cooperate with me, I'll consider letting you off the hook."

"Cooperate, I will definitely cooperate! Tell me, what do you want me to do? As long as you don't make me die, I'll agree to any condition you have."

Shi Youxuan smiled at this, a smile from the heart.

"You do this..."

The heat on the Jiangzhou internet, which had been gradually fading, surged again.

But this time, the plot took a massive turn.

Madam Sun's face was not blurred. She sat in front of the screen and recounted the entire process of how she framed Shi Youxuan and the Sheng Family, word for word.

The account was very detailed; it had to be.

Everything she was to say today had been written down in advance. She had practiced reciting it for three days, and not even a single punctuation mark was allowed to be wrong.

That wasn't enough; there was a teleprompter above the screen.

Shi Youxuan had been very thorough, blocking every single point where this woman could try to play tricks!

Not only that, but the evidence Shi Youxuan possessed was also displayed on the screen at the appropriate moments in the narrative.

With reason and evidence, she clearly and logically dismantled the lies she had fabricated, exposing her unspeakable intentions nakedly before everyone; not a single detail was allowed to be hidden.

This was not just clearing the Sheng Family's name; for her, it was a punishment akin to death by a thousand cuts.

What "green tea" women are best at is acting one way to your face and another behind your back.

One way in front of people, another way behind their backs.

Now that all her disguises had been torn away and her ugly heart was seen by everyone, she felt like dying.

But everyone else clapped and cheered.

The Sheng Family.

The whole family, plus Wan'er, Jian Yining, Jian Yixin, Sheng Zerong, Yun Zhehao, Ma Ling'er, Lao Qi, and Nianyin.

Over a dozen people sat around the sofa, drinking tea, coffee, and beverages, cracking melon seeds and eating snacks, watching Sun Wenwen's mother apologize as if they were watching the Spring Festival Gala.

Jian Yixin gave Shi Youxuan a thumbs-up, admiringly: "Xuanxuan, you're really something. You don't know this woman—back in school, no one could handle her. I never expected you to have her so completely tamed. How did you do it?"

Shi Youxuan said shamelessly: "By winning people over with virtue."

"Pfft!"

The disdain was palpable.

Jian Yixin was dissatisfied: "Cut the act. If you don't want to teach us, just say so. Don't pull that 'green tea' act, and don't be a 'Versailles' either."

Wang Yinghao was puzzled: "What is 'Versailles'?"

Every generation has its own ways.

She liked listening to young people talk, but there were many terms they popped out that she didn't understand.

She had only recently figured out the term "green tea," which referred to women who appeared harmless and pitiful on the surface but were actually very calculating and always wanted to harm others behind the scenes.

Otherwise, she had always thought it was just a type of tea, in the same category as black tea, white tea, or Pu'er tea.

Everyone was chatting animatedly, and her sudden question seemed a bit abrupt.

But Shi Youxuan showed no impatience, immediately setting aside her best friend to patiently explain to her mother-in-law: "'Versailles' refers to being hypocritical, showing off or bragging in a casual way."

"Oh, so that's what it is."

The mother-in-law understood, but immediately defended her daughter-in-law: "My Xuanxuan isn't 'Versailles'-ing anything. My Xuanxuan is the kindest, best child. That woman deserves what she got; who told her to look down on others and dare to scheme against my Xuanxuan? She brought this on herself, she can't blame Xuanxuan."

The mother-in-law calling her "my Xuanxuan" over and over made all the married women present very envious.

Everyone says mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law are natural enemies, and it's impossible for them to get along like mother and daughter.

Yet looking at Shi Youxuan and Wang Yinghao, they got along even more harmoniously than a biological mother and daughter.

Jian Yixin's mother-in-law had passed away, so even if she wanted to be envious, she couldn't.

Wan'er saw things clearly and knew she and her mother-in-law would never be like that; maintaining the status quo was good enough.

Nianyin was envious.

She wanted to learn, but since everyone's attention was on the woman on the screen, she decided to ask for advice when she had some free time.

The plot on the internet had taken a divine turn, and the vast number of onlookers felt their intelligence had been insulted, instantly shifting from one-sidedly scolding the Sheng Family to one-sidedly scolding the Sun Family.

The woman lost her job and her source of income.

The three members of the Sun Family didn't even dare to step out their front door, and people came to collect debts every single day.

There were those demanding gambling debts, and those demanding the return of donations.

Donations could go unreturned; one just had to act like a scoundrel.

But gambling debts could not go unreturned; those people were fierce and terrifying, clamoring that if the money wasn't paid, they would burn their house down.

Pay it.

They took out the only cash they had in the house, but the debt collector glared: "Are you trying to dismiss a beggar with this pittance? It's not enough!"

The man was unconvinced but didn't dare speak loudly, acting timidly: "Jiu Ge, I only borrowed fifty thousand from you, that's right, and here is exactly fifty thousand."

"Slap, slap!"

Two loud slaps were thrown onto his face: "Do you think I'm doing this for charity? Fifty thousand is the principal; the interest on these days has rolled over and over to one hundred and fifty thousand. Pay up."

"One hundred and fifty thousand?"

The man was so shocked his eyeballs nearly popped out: "It's only been a few days and the interest has rolled to one hundred and fifty thousand? Why don't you just go rob someone?"

"You still have the nerve to talk back when you won't pay?"

"Bang!"

The leading man kicked him right in the chest, nearly knocking him unconscious.

He pocketed the fifty thousand and threatened before leaving: "This counts as interest. I'll be back in three days. If you can't pay by then, I'll throw you into the sea to feed the fish and make your wife and daughter pay for you, hahahahaha..."

The bearded man sneered, pinched the woman's face, and left with his subordinates.

The couple realized they couldn't stay in Jiangzhou anymore; these people were capable of any evil, and they couldn't fight them, so they decided to just run.

Thus, they listed their house with an agency to sell it cheaply, and the family of three left Jiangzhou overnight, disappearing without a trace.

The kindergarten principal brought the teachers to the Sheng Family in person to apologize, asking for Sheng Zihan to return to the kindergarten for school.

Shi Youxuan accepted the teacher's apology but rejected the suggestion for Zihan to return.
