Lin Qingqing was suddenly confused, blood dripping from the corner of her mouth, she looked at Madam Qin in bewilderment, "Madam Qin, you've got the wrong person."

"I hit the right person," Madam Qin glared fiercely, poking her with her thick fingers, "You not only meddled in things that don't concern you but also instigated issues between me and Zhizhi's niece behind my back. You deserve this!"

"Wh-what, niece?"

Lin Qingqing stared at me in disbelief with her mouth wide open.

"Mr. Xu repeatedly instructed us to take good care of you, but I never expected this to happen," Madam Qin patted my hand, looking embarrassed.

Yang Cheng squeezed next to me, looking at me incredulously, "Zhizhi, didn't you say your parents were cattle farmers? They are hardly ever around, your aunt has passed away, and there are few people in your family."

I calmly replied, "The Xu family does raise cattle, but they have ranches in Hokkaido and Australia. My aunt married the world's richest man, Austin Barat, before she became a widow with no children, so she left her inheritance to me."

Madam Qin snorted coldly, disdainfully glancing at Yang Cheng, "You've really mistaken pearls for fish eyes."

I never expected Madam Qin to recognize me, considering our Xu family only had dealings with the president.

Lin Qingqing sat stunned on the ground.

Yang Cheng's face turned ashen, he suddenly grabbed my hand, begging for another chance.

"It's all because of this woman, Lin Qingqing seduced me. I love you, Zhizhi, please believe me."

This farce ended with Yang Cheng being escorted away by security, while Lin Qingqing took a leave of absence and didn't show up at the company for several days.

The company eventually discovered that Yang Cheng's project was suspected of plagiarizing my proposal, leading to his dismissal by the HR department.

He didn't dare direct his anger at me but shifted it onto Lin Qingqing.

According to colleagues, before leaving, Yang Cheng blamed everything on Lin Qingqing, saying if it weren't for her, he would have married me long ago.

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry; selfish people always blame others for their own faults.

After a few days, the messages in the work group suddenly exploded, reaching over 99+ notifications.

I quickly opened it and saw that someone had posted a short video in the group.

The woman in the video was clearly Lin Qingqing!
