Chapter 353: Chapter 353 Gossip after Tea and Dinner

Among them, the one with the fairer skin was naturally Zhuang Yueyan and her husband Shi Ruhong’s daughter, while the darker-skinned one was conceived when she was messing around in nightclubs with a black man.

Outsiders were not too clear about the uproar caused by this incident in the Shi Family.

The final resolution was for Zhuang Yueyan to be divorced and to leave the family without taking anything with her.

After Mrs. Wang finished telling her daughter about the past events, she couldn’t help but slap her thigh and exclaim, "Ruthless, Zhuang Yueyan is truly ruthless, to be able to come up with such a vicious plan..."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang’s daughter spoke with a hint of alarm in her guess, "Mom, based on what you said, did Madam Shi really have a sworn enemy who wished her dead?"

Mrs. Wang nodded, "When Zhuang Yueyan got divorced, the fight with Wei Lan was terribly vicious. Clearly, her divorce was inseparably linked to Zhuang Yueyan. Her affair was most likely exposed by Wei Lan."

"If you ask me, it’s not at all surprising that they became enemies. Ah, Wei Lan really has good fortune. If only I had her luck."

Mrs. Wang’s daughter thoughtfully responded, "Mom, do you think Shi Yaoguang is for real?"

Mrs. Wang spoke with deep meaning, "What do you think?"

"I feel like she might be for real, but Shi Yiqing has already brought out the test reports, she couldn’t possibly use fake reports to deceive people, right? That wouldn’t be to her benefit."

Hearing her daughter’s confusion, Mrs. Wang revealed a smile that suggested her daughter was still too naïve.

"My dear, you just don’t understand, do you? How do you think Shi Yiqing’s current situation is?"

Mrs. Wang’s daughter thought for a moment, then shook her head, "It doesn’t look so good. Before Shi Yaoguang became prominent, she was recognized throughout the school as the goddess, but now..."

Thinking that Shi Yaoguang had stolen all the limelight, Mrs. Wang’s daughter had a revelation and snapped her fingers, "Ah, I get it now!"

"What do you get?"

"I get why Shi Yiqing is targeting Shi Yaoguang!" she said with a grin, clearly pleased with her own conjecture. "She must have done it because she didn’t want to be outshone, so she did it deliberately."

"As long as she suppresses Shi Yaoguang, she remains the radiant goddess."

After speaking, she shook her head and pursed her lips, "Isn’t she a little too scheming? Just for the sake of vanity, to treat her own sister like this, not to mention that they aren’t biological sisters, the sisterly affection that Shi Yiqing owes Shi Yaoguang can never be made up for."

Mrs. Wang sighed, "You are still too young, too inexperienced. With time, you will understand."

After speaking, Mrs. Wang didn’t want her daughter to waste any more time on this topic and immediately stood up: "Alright, just stay home by yourself, your mother is going out to have a good time."

"Mom, why are you in such a hurry..."

"Nonsense, I finally have some new gossip. If I don’t use it now, should I wait until it’s old news?"

After Mrs. Wang finished speaking, she disappeared at the doorway.

Mrs. Wang’s daughter watched her mother’s retreating figure, shaking her head, "Ah, maybe this is just the world of adults."

...

It was not an isolated case.

There were many other families in a similar situation to Mrs. Wang’s.

The incident with the Shi Family back then was considered quite a scandal as well.

Since it was a scandal, naturally, there were quite a few people who knew about it.

After all, it was the talk of the town over tea and dinner.

"I think there’s something fishy about this matter," said someone.

"Mrs. Zhao, don’t you think you’re a bit late with that comment? Do you know what this is called? Closing the stable door after the horse has bolted!"

"Exactly, when the Shi Family’s true and false daughters’ scandal first broke out, why didn’t we hear you say anything then? Now that you bring it up, isn’t it too late?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhao felt quite embarrassed and argued forcefully, "How can you blame me? Am I closing the stable door after the horse has bolted? It’s not like I had a say in the matter."

Laughing slyly, she said, "In the end, the sin was Wei Lan’s doing."

"Who doesn’t know that Zhuang Yueyan is a troublemaker? Nobody blames us for her behavior. It was Wei Lan herself who couldn’t keep her mouth shut, ruining Zhuang Yueyan and Shi Ruhong’s wedding. If Wei Lan hadn’t meddled, their relationship wouldn’t have deteriorated like that."

"Had their relationship been sound, Zhuang Yueyan wouldn’t have switched Wei Lan’s child. Now thinking about it...," the lady sighed, "I wonder what Wei Lan would think if she found out about this."

"Tsk," someone sneered, "Who doesn’t know Wei Lan treats Shi Yiqing like a treasure? Even if her own daughter came back, she would still be second in line. Looking at it now, her situation probably isn’t great."

If there was really a mix-up, and Shi Yiqing turned out to be Zhuang Yueyan’s daughter, Wei Lan would be furious."

"That’s not necessarily true," another lady countered. "With Wei Lan’s brains, who knows? She might well continue to treat the daughter she raised by hand, knowing full well that she was switched on purpose, with the same affection as always."

"What benefit does Wei Lan get by doing this?" asked someone.

"Ms. Bai, in relationships, how can you always talk about benefits? Does that mean you can’t have a sincere relationship if there are no benefits?"

"That’s not what I mean. It’s just that I find Wei Lan’s actions a bit incomprehensible," replied Ms. Bai.

"What’s so strange about it? You might not have heard, but I know a bit of inside information. Wei Lan isn’t just any Cinderella; she has quite the background!"

"What kind of background could Wei Lan have? For all these years, when has she ever fit into our social gatherings?"

"You see, that’s why we say Wei Lan isn’t sharp. You all know the Wei Family on the list of wealthiest tycoons, right?"

"What does that have to do with Wei Lan? Despite sharing the surname, their circumstances are worlds apart... There’s no comparison."

"No, no, no, you’ve got it backwards. Wei Lan having the same surname as the Wei Family explains a lot! Didn’t you hear the news from the Wei Family earlier about cutting off ties with their eldest daughter? Wei Lan is that renowned eldest daughter!"

"Sss—," someone gasped, "That can’t be possible, can it?"

"Exactly, how could that be?"

"Why couldn’t it be possible?"

"If Wei Lan weren’t the eldest daughter of the Wei Family, would Shi Rusong have taken a fancy to her? It’s just that Wei Lan herself isn’t clear-headed enough to see it..."

"Mrs. Wu, is your source reliable? We haven’t heard a whiff of this before," someone questioned.

"Of course, it’s reliable. I only know about this because of our old Wu. The Wei Family sent someone over, seemingly wanting to make contact with the Shi Family. That’s how I got wind of this news; it seems the Shi Family might be in for some good luck!"

No sooner had Mrs. Wu finished speaking than someone objected, "What good luck? Mrs. Wu, your news isn’t very well-informed."
