Yu Yan knew that people would find out about the divorce sooner or later. However, the Li family had yet to publicly announce the matter. How could the information have leaked out? Watching the crowd, a woman caught her eye. She was hiding amongst the people looking at the scene with obvious schadenfreude.
Yun Feng!
How had she gotten in?
She was just about to reply, but before she could say anything an angry voice bellowed.
"You shut up! How dare you come here to make trouble! Guards throw them out!"
Before the guards could act, Yu Yan appeased the old man.
"Grandpa, wait. I want to ask some questions first."
Old master Li was unwilling, but since it was his Ah Yan's request, he relented.
"Ex-wife? Where did you hear such rumours from?"
The there women had been scared silly. They did not expect elder Li to stand up for her. Had she not been divorced? Why did she still have the old master's support? Not wanting to take all the blame for the ruckus, Liu Yi Dei hurriedly explained herself.
"Everyone was saying that CEO Li divorced her. Even her best friend can testify!"
Oh? So this matter was connected to Yun Feng. She glanced at the crowd, just to notice her scheming friend paling.
Old master Li caught on to the fact and asked. "Best friend?"
"Pushing the blame on someone else after making trouble, these three ladies are no good!"
A voice could be heard from the crowd. Yun Feng had panicked and screamed out, she quickly hid so no one would notice she had been the one who spoke. If Yu Yan found out about her scheming, who would help her with the rumours about herself? She regretted it. She had let anger cloud her mind and acted before thinking. Why did she not wait until her name was cleared before spreading the rumours?
Yun Feng thought she had hidden well. However, Yu Yan had been carefully watching her all this time. Would Yu Yan let her go? Of course not! Looking straight at her, she called out.
"Yun Feng, why are you hiding in the crowd? Since you have so much to say, why not come out to say it?"
Soon everyone's attention was on Yun Feng. With no other choice Yun Feng stepped out as she spoke.
"Ah Yan, what do you mean? I don't know why these girls are slandering me. I've never seen them before. Don't you believe me?" She looked pitifully at her.
"Believe? Why are you spreading rumours about me? You still dare to call yourself my friend?"
This time Yu Yan did not care to keep up the facade. After tonight Yun Feng would be completely ruined without any way to clear her name. There was no longer a need to be careful around her.
"Ah, it's her! She's the one that said there wouldn't be any rumours if there were no truths in the matter. She's the one that convinced everyone that the rumours must be true!"
Su Rong, who had noticed the familiar-looking woman blurted out.
"Lies! Why are you saying that? Ah Yan, do you hate me because I lashed out on you that day? I said I was sorry and thought you had forgiven me. If you were still angry, you should just have said so. How could you slander me like this? Did you plan it out with those ladies beforehand?" Yun Feng cried heartbreakingly as she spoke.
The man who had brought Yun Feng felt sorry. How could everyone bully such an innocent girl? He angrily looked at Yu Yan as he spoke.
"Yu Yan! Don't you have a conscience? How could you scheme against such a pure woman as Yun Feng? How could you be so vicious?!"
The poor man did not see the fury on elder Li's face. Liu Yi Feng on the other hand noticed. She had made a big mistake today, if she pushed most of the blame on Yun Feng, she might not be punished too badly. She did not hesitate as she spoke.
"If you don't believe me, you could ask the other women. Many witnesses saw her convince everyone that the rumours were true!"
"It's true, I was there," someone voiced out.
"Me too!"
"I also heard her."
After the first person, several of the ladies confirmed that Yun Feng indeed had spread rumours about her.
Elder Li was furious. He had always disliked this snake-like woman.
"Throw her out! Did I not tell you, people, to never let her in?"
Old master Li raged. The servants were shaking. A brave, young servant stepped forward and stuttered.
"W-we didn't want to let her in, but she was brought by a guest and we had no choice but to..."
Old master Li instantly understood.
"Then Throw that guest out with her!" His mood was completely destroyed.
Yun Feng could not take this lying down. If she was thrown out like this how could she show her face in public?
"Yu Yan, How could you treat me like this?! What's wrong with what I said? It's the truth!"
She screamed as she was forcefully dragged out.
Yu Yan did not speak. What was she supposed to say? After all, it was the truth. Sooner or later everyone would know. It was no use denying it.
Li Yi Feng had been watching from the beginning. He was just about to step out when his grandfather beat him to it. The guests were whispering their doubts as the wile woman was dragged out. Though Yun Feng had been exposed, people still believed there were some truths in what she had said. He did not like it. His irritation was obvious to his friends. He watched Yu Yan as she kept quiet, not denying the rumours. He clenched his fists. He wanted to drag the woman out and punish her!
For the first time in his life, Li Yi Feng acted out of impulse. Not caring about the others, he stepped towards Yu Yan. Grabbing her hand, he pulled her with him and marched towards his car. Placing her at the passenger seat, he sat down and started to drive. He turned to look at her only to find her in a daze.
Yu Yan was confused. What was Li Yi Feng doing? She had been so surprised by his actions that she was unable to resist. Before she knew what was happening, he had already dragged her into his car. He was different from the Li Yi Feng in her past. Why? Where was he taking her?
