Song Lingxi asked Zong Fei this question, but it was Wang Yizhi, who was standing next to Zong Fei, who spoke first: “Xie Qiao, he slandered Zong Fei behind his back!”

What does Wang Yizhi look like? He was very handsome, but because Xie Qiao and Zong Fei were so remarkable, standing next to them made him seem like background noise.

At that moment, Wang Yizhi suddenly spoke, and everyone turned to look at him.

“Look at what I’m doing, I’m not wrong… Xie Qiao definitely won’t admit this.”

Wang Yizhi felt guilty and panicked. He had made things up out of nowhere and had instigated Zong Fei to confront him.

He thought Director Zhao would use his power to force Xie Qiao’s mother to give in, and who would care about the reason for the fight? But he hadn’t expected Xie Qiao’s mother to be so fierce, nor had he imagined that Zong Fei would actually listen to her.

He had been hoping for a confrontation.

If Zong Fei found out that he was being used to deal with Xie Qiao… Wang Yizhi shuddered.

“I never slandered Zong Fei,” Xie Qiao told Song Lingxi, not caring what others thought, but he didn’t want his mother to misunderstand.

Song Lingxi nodded. She knew well that her son wouldn’t do something so foolish as to make others famous for no reason.

“You mean, you acted first.”

Song Lingxi grabbed the key to the problem, turned, and pulled Director Zhao into the fray:

“Professor, you see, what I said is correct, you are truly blind… Xie Qiao said he didn’t say anything bad about Zong Fei, but it’s always more wrong to hit someone first, right? And to lie, right? ‘It’s all the fault of the weak,’”

Song Lingxi rolled her eyes.

Director Zhao had completely lost the pretense.

When Song Lingxi hurt him, he glared fiercely at Xie Qiao, then threatened Song Lingxi, saying: “Wait for me. As long as I’m in this school, your son will have a hard time.”

Although I don’t know why Zong Fei didn’t express his stance, Director Zhao felt his position was clear; he was fully on the side of Young Master Zong Fei.

It was the Zong family that Xie Qiao and his mother had offended. If they were harsh with him now, they would just have to wait for Xie Qiao and his mother to suffer in the future, Director Zhao thought cruelly.

Seeing this, Wang Yizhi stepped up to Director Zhao and said confidently:

“It’s true that we made the first move. What are you going to do about it? As long as it’s not revealed that he was using Zong Fei, what’s the big deal?”

A fight? Xie Qiao being killed or disabled isn’t a big deal, and his family isn’t lacking money. Money can solve everything.

Song Lingxi couldn’t stand seeing others more smug than herself.

She immediately took out her phone, clicked the recording function, and the voice of Director Zhao played from the phone:

“… Wait for me. As long as I’m in this school, your son will never have an easy life.”

One play wasn’t enough, so Song Lingxi kept playing it. Director Zhao’s cruel and angry words echoed around the office.

Public execution confirmed.

Director Zhao’s face darkened, but he sneered: “You think that recording can stop me? Just post it online and see what I have to lose.”

Song Lingxi was surprised: “Didn’t you say you’d post it online?”

”Actually, I didn’t just record that one sentence, I recorded everything you said. I plan to use a loudspeaker to play these recordings at the school gate, and then set up a human-shaped sign with your face, making sure everyone passing by sees you.”

“Oh, by the way, I’ll have someone check on your wife’s workplace, your kid’s school, and all your relatives—parents, siblings, in-laws, uncles, aunts—don’t worry, I won’t do it.”

Director Zhao: “…”

“If I can endure this, I can only change the limit.

I have a teaching qualification, and I’ll work hard to get your child admitted. As a teacher at this school, I’ll treat your son just as you treated Xie Qiao.”

Director Zhao’s face immediately changed when his child was mentioned, “You! You dare to touch my child!”

He had this kind of life, and the tiger in the family would fight desperately for him.

The woman named Song was a lunatic. She could only steal for a thousand days, so how could she protect herself from thieves when she looked at her child and caused trouble…

Director Zhao was shocked and confused, his arrogance instantly disappearing.

Not only Director Zhao but others were also shocked by Song Lingxi’s “Extreme One for One” tactic.

This method was no longer just a loss, but was also considered explosive in the world of threats.

Song Lingxi was also quite emotional. Magic defeats magic. It really was a brilliant move that many older people praised after she used it.

After sighing, she turned to Wang Yizhi and winked.

Wang Yizhi: “…” Don’t come near me!!!

How could Song Lingxi let him go just because he was a child?

“This classmate, I really can’t do anything to you… but I know what you’re most afraid of others finding out.”

Don’t you think you’re clever?

Let me guess, you told Zong Fei that Xie Qiao was behind his back, right? What’s the advantage for me to do this?”

Song Lingxi propped her chin in her hand and continued analyzing:

“You want to use Zong Fei to deal with Xie Qiao.” Let me guess the reason, you were jealous of Xie Qiao and Zong Fei, so you came up with the idea of killing two birds with one stone, teaching Xie Qiao a lesson and provoking Zong Fei.”

“You must’ve been very upset when Zong Fei brought you to find trouble with Xie Qiao. Are you laughing behind his back? Too bad Xie Qiao has a smart mother who saw through your trick.”

Originally, Song Lingxi was just guessing casually, and there was no loss if she guessed wrong, but when she saw Wang Yizhi’s pale face and frightened expression…

Oh, I accidentally guessed right.

Wang Yizhi was terrified. This woman seemed to be able to see through people’s hearts.

He didn’t care about his young master’s face and quickly grabbed Zong Fei, explaining:

“Ah Fei, don’t believe this woman. She’s trying to sow discord between us. I really have no idea. I lied to you…”

Zong Fei not only remained indifferent but also brushed off Wang Yizhi’s hand as if brushing away dust, making Wang Yizhi’s face contort.

“That’s it,” Zong Fei finally spoke.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door, and a man dressed in elite clothes walked in, followed by three men and women, also in formal attire, standing outside the door.

The elite man walked up to Zong Fei and whispered: “Master, sir sent me to handle this.”

Zong Fei looked at Song Lingxi, who was always blocking Xie Qiao, and then looked at the elite man with a mocking expression on his face and some interest, saying: “Oh, so you’re handling this, Secretary Qian.”

To cover the medical expenses and mental damages of Xie Qiao.

“Why do you have to admit our mistakes?!” Wang Yizhi responded incredulously, but no one there paid him any attention.

Song Lingxi was also dissatisfied.

She had just admitted her mistakes to the four people but hadn’t apologized, so she made a request: “The four of you should also formally apologize to Xie Qiao.”

Secretary Qian looked at Song Lingxi, surprised and frowning. It seemed to say, “How dare you go this far?”

“Miss Song, please stop this and consider Xie Qiao and Zong Fei’s positions. I fear it wouldn’t be appropriate for Zong Fei to apologize to Xie Qiao, would it?”

When the words fell, both Xie Qiao and Zong Fei were stunned.

Secretary Qian’s words clearly ranked the two on different levels, with Xie Qiao and Zong Fei at the top, revealing even more arrogance and disdain for Song Lingxi.

… I forgot that Secretary Qian is Zong Fei’s father’s personal secretary, Zong Xuecheng. Zong Xuecheng’s attitude toward her greatly influences how others around her treat her.

Clearly, to Zong Xuecheng, she was just a long-time mistress who could be discarded at any time, so the people around her didn’t take her seriously.

Song Lingxi didn’t care. She was going to die anyway, but she was concerned about her son.

In the novel, after Song Lingxi died, Zong Xuecheng took Xie Qiao back to the Zong family for training, hoping to make him Zong Fei’s right-hand man.

It seemed great, but as someone outside the Zong family and the son of Zong Xuecheng’s mistress, Xie Qiao received countless looks of disdain.

The implicit contempt from Secretary Qian is the lightest, but it can still hurt people’s hearts.

Over time, Xie Qiao gradually becomes inferior to others, and these negative feelings of inferiority also pave the way for Xie Qiao’s eventual darkening in the future.

From Song Lingxi’s perspective, everything was completely ruined, and there was probably a psychological issue at play.

In the novel, no one cares about Xie Qiao, whether he is sick or not.

To protect himself and feel secure, he constantly strives to improve in order to gain the attention and recognition of Zong Xuecheng and secure a position within the Zong family.

But he tried too hard and performed too well, which scared the Zong family and Zong Fei’s mother’s family, who supported Zong Fei’s rise to power.

These people secretly used means to suppress and incriminate Xie Qiao, accusing him of being cruel and wanting to harm Zong Fei, sowing discord between Xie Qiao, Zong Fei, and Zong Xuecheng.

Faced with countless malicious intentions, Xie Qiao secretly endured it at first, but Zong Fei never accepted him, and the provocations eventually took effect, leading Zong Xuecheng to send Xie Qiao away.

On his way out of the Zong family, Xie Qiao lost consciousness and was pushed off a cliff. At this point, he turned dark.

Song Lingxi can’t change the main plot. Xie Qiao’s entry into the Zong family and his trials are an important process for the villain’s darkening, and there is almost no chance to change it.

But now the plot details have changed. Zong Fei and Xie Qiao were fighting. Before Xie Qiao entered the Zong house, the conflict between them had already escalated.

It is conceivable that what Xie Qiao will face in the future will definitely be hellish.

As the saying goes, if you can’t change the world, change yourself. The useless people and things you encounter can’t be changed, but Song Lingxi can teach her son to adjust his mindset toward this group of idiots.

After Secretary Qian said those hypocritical words, Song Lingxi calmly patted Xie Qiao on the shoulder and said: “Darling, watch me go crazy, ah, no, watch me be reasonable:”

…

Others: “…”
