Zuo Xianyu frowned. "Grandma, why are you looking at me like that?"
"You’ve been busy lately. Grandma’s just worried about your health," Old Madam Zuo quickly masked her thoughts with a smile. "How’s work been going? Have you faced any difficulties?"
At the mention of this, Zuo Tianfeng smiled with relief. "Mom, thanks to Xianyu, the company has signed several major contracts. With her here, I can consider retiring early."
"That’s good, that’s good." Old Madam Zuo exhaled deeply, mumbling, "It seems not everything has been returned yet."
Zuo Xianyu, sharp-eared, asked, "Grandma, what did you just say?"
"Nothing." Old Madam Zuo shook her head. "In a few days, I plan to go out for a little trip."
She didn’t dare to visit Liushan Temple again. If Master Miaoguang saw through anything else, it would spell disaster.
At least Zuo Xianyu hadn’t been affected yet.
Zuo Tianfeng suddenly received a phone call.
As soon as he answered, the person on the other end urgently asked, "Hey, Tianfeng, when did you offend the Pei family?"
"Offend the Pei family?" Zuo Tianfeng was stunned. "What do you mean?"
"Check Weibo yourself!" The caller didn’t elaborate further. "Listen, brother, the Pei family might not compare to your Zuo family, but you should think twice about their old matriarch."
"She’s from the capital’s elite Sijoucheng, married into a lower position—can you afford to provoke her?"
The line went dead before Zuo Tianfeng could respond, his expression darkening. "Quick, open Weibo for me."
The butler hurriedly handed him a phone.
The Pei family had just posted something official on their Weibo account.
In just ten minutes, the post had been shared over 20,000 times, climbing into the top ten trending topics.
[@Pei Group V: This is Yang Huizhu, the matriarch of the Pei family. I deeply regret my actions and sincerely apologize to Miss Si in front of the entire internet. I urge everyone to monitor me, and I promise such a mistake will never happen again.]
The post was accompanied by a video.
In the footage, Madam Pei bowed deeply more than ten times, her sincerity evident. She recounted how Zuo Qingya had come to the Pei family and made disparaging remarks. Madam Pei admitted her own fault for believing those words but emphasized that the greater blame lay with her.
The internet erupted.
[???]
[Whoa! Breaking news! A wealthy family apologizing to a celebrity?! And in a video! This is way more dramatic than those celebrity apology notes.]
[Honestly, a lawyer's letter is just about saving face. This public apology is way more humiliating.]
[So, the most disgusting thing is still the Zuo family. Ugh! When will Zuo Qingya disappear? She’s been terrible since childhood and remains so as an adult!]
[LOL, the Pei family just openly slapped the Zuo family in the face. But honestly, the Pei family is scholarly and refined; they’d never accept someone like Zuo Qingya.]
[The only decent person in the Zuo family is Zuo Xianyu. Even if I dislike the Zuo family, I have to admit Zuo Xianyu is a top-tier elite. Her business sense is on another level.]
“What's going on?! Huh?!” Zuo Tianfeng roared. “Why is the Pei family targeting us? And you, Zuo Qingya, how many times have I told you to act like a proper lady? Why do you keep embarrassing us?!”
Zuo Qingya was so scolded she burst into tears. “Dad, I’ve done this kind of thing before, haven’t I? How was I supposed to know it would blow up this time?”
“That was then, this is now!” Zuo Tianfeng was so angry that his temples throbbed. “Do you have to destroy yourself to feel satisfied?!”
“I-I really don’t know.” Zuo Qingya sobbed. “Why is the Pei family doing this? Could it be that Aunt Pei has also been brainwashed by that Si Fuqing mongrel?”
“Stop spouting nonsense!” Zuo Tianfeng roared again. “Do you even think before you speak?!”
Zuo Qingya, not daring to disobey, walked over to open the door.
“Hello, Miss Zuo Qingya.” Standing at the door was Ling Feng. She gave Zuo Qingya a once-over, then pulled out a document, smiling faintly. “This is your legal notice.”
“Additionally, your defamatory Weibo post has surpassed 500 shares, causing significant damage to Miss Si’s reputation. She has decided to address this along with your past actions.”
Ling Feng stepped back slightly, her tone icy. “Take her away.”
Author’s Notes:
Si Fuqing: I’m just a lazy fish.Mu Si (Si Fuqing’s fans name): No, you’re not.
