In the face of such words, any normal person would have some doubts. After all, they did not know what the other party was expressing.
However, Wen Li did not have such a reaction. She smiled and said, “I know what you’re talking about. There are so many tabloid reporters outside. If they take photos of me looking for you, rumors will definitely spread. Your goal will be achieved.”
Chen Xiang’s smile froze on her face. She was shocked by Wen Li’s words.
Wen Li continued, “You’re indeed very thoughtful. This way, you can create hype online and even make everyone think that you’re returning to China for love. However, the Zou family’s secret guards are not to be trifled with. Those reporters have long been cleared.”
Ye Ying was scared to death. From what she knew, Chen Xiang was a very innocent girl. Back then, she was forced to go overseas by the Zou family, but it didn’t seem like that now.
She had been eating and living with Chen Xiang during this period of time, but she did not realize when she had contacted the reporters. Moreover, she had not mentioned a word about it.
Ye Ying suddenly felt a chill. It was as if she had never understood the person in front of her.
At this point, there was no need for Chen Xiang to pretend anymore. She leaned back on the sofa and said, “Even if these people didn’t manage to capture anything, the news of my return has already spread like wildfire.”
“I thought you would still pretend that you didn’t know anything. I didn’t expect you to lay your cards on the table so quickly,” Wen Li sneered.
Chen Xiang raised his eyebrows. “I don’t think you’ll believe me if I say that I came back for love. Anyway, there are no reporters here. There’s no need to continue pretending.”
Wen Li couldn’t take it anymore. “You’re not in love with Zou Bai at all. You’re using him from head to toe.”
“You can say whatever you want. In any case, I’m still the little girl in front of Zou Bai. I guess you didn’t tell him anything,” Chen Xiang said with certainty.
Although she hadn’t interacted much with Zou Bai, she was quite good at reading people’s expressions, so she had some understanding of Zou Bai.
Since he did not react to her leaving, he must have believed the reason given by Wen Li.
The Old Madam from the Zou Family was a decent person. She would not reveal everything and would make up reasons to maintain the peace.
Wen Li had indeed done so. She was speechless in the face of Chen Xiang’s words.
She hated herself for not telling Zou Bai the truth and letting him know this woman’s true colors. She thought that since Chen Xiang would never return, she had not gone all out.
In addition, Zou Bai didn’t ask about Chen Xiang’s departure. She felt that she shouldn’t add salt to her son’s wound.
This was the first time Wen Li felt like she was being restrained by someone. She was so angry that her chest heaved up and down.
“You don’t have to be arrogant here. I can make everything that happened before disappear like smoke. The overseas business was originally provided by the Zou family, so it can naturally be taken back now.”
At this moment, Ye Ying couldn’t care less about the surprise of being deceived. She hurriedly said, “Mrs. Zou, don’t act rashly. We can discuss everything.” “How can we negotiate?” Wen Li snorted heavily. “Chen Xiang promised me that she would never return to China. That’s why I gave her so much support in her career. Now that she has broken our agreement, she naturally has to pay the price.”
If Ye Ying knew about this, she would have stopped Chen Xiang no matter what. At this moment, all she could do was to persuade Wen Li.
After all, even if Chen Xiang was now famous internationally, she was only a celebrity after all. She had no ability to compete with the Zou family.
“You don’t have to scare me here. Since I dare to say these words to you, I naturally have my confidence.” Chen Xiang stood up and walked over. “The person behind me is not someone you can afford to offend.”
It had been many years since Wen Li had heard such words. She looked at Chen Xiang with disdain. “Tell me, who is the person I can’t afford to offend?”
Chen Xiang turned around and walked to the edge of the sofa. Then, she picked up a small box. Ye Ying recognized that this was something she always carried with her and would never leave her side.
Chen Xiang opened the small box and said, “You should know what this is, right?”
There was a ring in the box. It was not anything expensive, but it was made of silver. It would not cost much to sell it.
However, the ring was engraved with complicated patterns and a long string of letters. One had to get closer to see what it was. Wen Li looked at it from afar in disbelief.
Chen Xiang smiled in satisfaction. “Looks like you do..”
