At thirty, I started my comeback from the intelligence system.

Niu Dan tightened his grip on her arm and began to whisper the "secrets" of "how to capture the heart of a golden bachelor," interspersed with various hearsay "success stories."

Hearing stories like "A menopausal cleaning lady seduces a CEO" and "A widow with a child marries into a wealthy family," Su Qingqing was stunned, yet couldn't help but feel a longing for them.

Just then, two elderly women came out of the discount clothing store diagonally opposite, each carrying a shopping bag. One of them was Cui Lanzhen.

The other one is naturally Yu Xiulian.

Yu Xiulian hitched a ride with Chen Geng during the day and planned to treat Cui Lanzhen to dinner and go shopping together that evening.

Cui Lanzhen immediately spotted Su Qingqing, who was looking radiant and chatting happily with her best friend, and paused for a moment.

Didn't my son say she was away on a business trip? Why is she shopping here?

"Lanzhen, what are you looking at?" Yu Xiulian followed her gaze and saw Su Qingqing, then pouted.

"Hey, isn't that your daughter-in-law? Dressed like a movie star, got rich?"

Cui Lanzhen was puzzled and wanted to go up and say hello, asking when she had returned.

But a few words of Su Qingqing and Niu Dan's conversation drifted over on the wind, intermittent, yet they exploded in her ears like thunder!

"...Young Master Lu said he'd take me to a yacht party next week..."

"...Of course, following Young Master Lu, what good things haven't I seen? That good-for-nothing Chen Geng used to be so stingy he wouldn't even buy me a decent bag..."

"...It was the right decision to get a divorce! It was good to kick that good-for-nothing to the curb sooner..."

"...Marrying into a wealthy family isn't impossible; Young Master Lu seems quite satisfied with me..."

Cui Lanzhen was struck dumb, standing there, her face turning deathly pale, and the shopping bag in her hand fell to the ground with a "thud".

On business trip?

What business trip!

Her son was lying to her!

Su Qingqing divorced her son a long time ago!

Moreover, judging from these words, she cheated on her husband and climbed the social ladder, and is now wantonly slandering her own son!

A torrent of shock, heartache, and anger instantly overwhelmed Cui Lanzhen's usual gentleness and forbearance.

She trembled all over, rushed forward, and grabbed Su Qingqing's arm!

"Su Qingqing!" Cui Lanzhen's voice trembled sharply with excitement.

"What...what did you say?! You and Genggeng are divorced?! And you...you're cheating on him with another man...?!"

Su Qingqing and Niu Dan were startled. When they turned around and saw that it was Cui Lanzhen, Su Qingqing's face first showed panic, which was then replaced by anger.

She forcefully tried to shake off Cui Lanzhen's hand: "What are you doing! Let go of me! I'm divorced from your son, my affairs are none of your business!"

"Divorce? When did you get divorced? Why did you get divorced? Why did Genggeng lie to me and say you were on a business trip?!"

Cui Lanzhen wouldn't let go, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Was it you! Was it you who wronged Genggeng! I heard everything you said! What Young Master Lu, what yacht party, what good-for-nothing! Su Qingqing, what has my son done to you? Why are you treating him like this?!"

Her voice drew the attention of those around her. Niu Dan, sensing the danger, tried to pull Su Qingqing away, but Cui Lanzhen held on tightly.

Su Qingqing was both anxious and angry, especially when she saw people watching. She lost face and screamed without thinking.

"Yes! I'm divorced! So what? Chen Geng is a useless piece of trash! Why should I waste my precious youth on him?"

"I've found someone better now, so what? Is it illegal? Your son couldn't keep his wife, whose fault is that?"

"You old geezer, let go! Stop making a fool of yourself here!"

"You...you..." Cui Lanzhen was so angry that she couldn't speak, her chest heaving violently, and tears streaming down her face.

She had always been kind to everyone and had never argued with anyone. She had never heard such vicious and harsh words, especially coming from the mouth of someone who had once called her "Mom".

"What do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'what do you mean,'" Su Qingqing retorted, becoming even more arrogant upon seeing Cui Lanzhen speechless with anger. She shoved her forcefully, "Get out of the way! A good dog doesn't block the way!"

Cui Lanzhen was pushed and stumbled, almost falling over.

Just then, Yu Xiulian, who had been watching coldly from the sidelines, suddenly erupted!

She was originally a street-smart, sharp-tongued person who never backed down in arguments! After hearing a few words and seeing Cui Lanzhen being bullied, her anger flared up instantly.

"Pah!" Yu Xiulian rushed forward, blocking Cui Lanzhen's path, hands on her hips, and pointed at Su Qingqing's nose, launching into a tirade. Her voice was loud and clear, instantly drowning out the background music in the mall.

"You shameless little slut! Dressed like a respectable lady, you're a heartless scoundrel! You cheated on your husband and dumped him, and you still dare to curse your mother-in-law here? Who gave you the guts?!"

"Oh, you've climbed the social ladder? Young Master Lu? Which Young Master Lu from which alley? The kind who'll sleep with you if he buys you a couple of cheap clothes from a street vendor, right? Look at how smug you are, anyone would think you've become an empress!"

"You call Chen Geng a good-for-nothing? Let me tell you, that kid Chen Geng works hard and earns money, buys you a house and a car, what has he ever done to wrong you?"

"A gold-digging, promiscuous piece of trash like you only deserves to be a plaything for those rich young masters! Marrying into a wealthy family? Bah! Keep dreaming! Even cleaning toilets wouldn't hire someone like you!"

"And you too!" Yu Xiulian turned her attention to Niu Dan, who was trying to chime in.

"You're obviously no good! A bunch of scoundrels, a den of snakes and rats! Teaching people to be bad and climb the social ladder? Have you climbed up there yourself yet? You have that mean and sarcastic look, you're obviously a troublemaker! If you dare to utter another word, I'll curse you too!"

Yu Xiulian spoke quickly and ruthlessly, each word like a knife, barbed and sharp, with vivid metaphors and a loud voice characteristic of a shrew from the streets, instantly attracting more onlookers.

Su Qingqing and Niu Dan were speechless with shock, their faces turning red and white in turns.

They usually play the "socialite" game, emphasizing subtlety, innuendo, and sarcasm. They've never seen Yu Xiulian's kind of "map-wide attack" style of violent output.

He wanted to refute, but couldn't get a word in edgewise; he was completely overwhelmed in terms of momentum.

The whispers and pointing around them grew louder.

"Tsk tsk, so she cheated, got divorced, and even cursed her former mother-in-law. That's really something."

No matter how well you dress, you can't hide your petty and stingy nature.

"That woman's scolding was satisfying! Women like that deserve to be scolded!"

"They look respectable, but their hearts are so vicious."

Su Qingqing was both ashamed and angry, tears welling up in her eyes. No longer caring about her image, she glared fiercely at Yu Xiulian and the tearful Cui Lanzhen, pulled Niu Dan up, lowered her head, and amidst the ridicule and pointing of the crowd, she squeezed through the crowd in a disheveled state and fled in panic.

"Pah! What a load of crap!" Yu Xiulian spat in the direction they had fled before turning around to support Cui Lanzhen, who was still crying, and softened her tone.

"Lanzhen, don't cry. It's not worth getting angry over such a despicable person! Come on, let's go home."
