Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Yi Yilan is ruthless and adaptable, truly a noteworthy character.

When they were young, they were all in the Academy Courtyard, and Feng Shulan often dealt with Yi Yilan, so she understood her skills well.

Judging by the current situation, this Qiu Xue girl really takes after Yi Yilan’s nature, being much more insidious in her actions.

”What’s going on between Qiu Xue and Li Yan?”

Feng Shulan maliciously raised the question, leisurely pouring another cup of tea while waiting for Yi Yilan to respond.

Posing such a question, Yi Yilan’s face turned extremely unsightly...

Feng Shulan’s actions were clearly a case of playing dumb while knowing full well, deliberately forcing Yi Yilan to recount what Qiu Xue had done, leaving no room for defense...

”Sister Feng, please don’t tease me; it’s just outside rumors, everything said is vile.”

Yi Yilan was determined to clear her daughter’s name.

So she simply blamed the rumors. Anyway, Yan Xiaolan had left the Academy, leaving no way to verify the truth.

Feng Shulan understood Yi Yilan’s thoughts, yet she couldn’t care less.

Feng Shulan gently picked up the teacup on the table with her slender fingers, swirled it twice, took a sip, and said, ”It’s not good to involve your own child in such dirty matters. As a mother, you should be wary, as a daughter’s reputation is the most important thing.”

”Yes, yes, Sister Feng is right...”

Yi Yilan nodded with a smile on her face, but privately, she had her fists tightly clenched, seething with resentment.

Since marrying into the Qiu Family, she hadn’t suffered such a huge loss.

This was the first time...

”I usually stay at home and don’t go out as much as you, so I don’t know what rumors are spreading.” Feng Shulan’s deep eyes revealed a faint calmness as she continued, ”However, I do know that the Qiu Family’s daughter should not be involved with the Gu Family’s son-in-law.”

”Right, right, I think so too, but there are always those who want to spread dirt, insisting on throwing it onto Qiu Xue. I want to stop it, but it’s beyond my ability. You can only blame Qiu Xue for being too foolish, not knowing how to refute such claims...”

Yi Yilan clutched her chest, her body trembling as if she were heartbroken, almost on the verge of tears.

The performance was partly genuine, the rest a mere act.

”Words of slander are not the issue; it’s ultimately up to the daughter to maintain her integrity. As long as Qiu Xue behaves well, the rumors will collapse on their own sooner or later.”

Feng Shulan glanced at her, not interested in her continued drama, smiled lightly and said, ”This Qiu Xue girl loves music. In fact, going out to explore is a good choice, broadening her horizons and honing her skills; it’ll be beneficial for her future.”

Saying this, a bit of relief finally returned to Yi Yilan’s heart because she understood that Feng Shulan had softened.

In a roundabout way, she agreed to forgive Qiu Xue and consented to the idea of temporarily sending Qiu Xue away.

Given the current situation, leaving was the only option for Qiu Xue.

For the time being, this was the best scenario...

”Yes, I’ll discuss with Old Qiu later to find a time to send Qiu Xue to Xiang City...”

Evading the situation temporarily is the current strategy; once everything calms down, they can find a chance to bring Qiu Xue back.

Yi Yilan, having received Feng Shulan’s ’forgiveness’, let out a silent sigh of relief. She had no interest in staying longer, finding an excuse to leave instead.

Indeed, Feng Shulan didn’t keep her, and the unpleasant conversation came to an end.
