Xu Tingyu's gaze lingered on the photo for a moment before shifting to Xie Yu.
"They mistook me for you. Congratulations on your upcoming good news. Shouldn't you be proud?"
"You're the one who benefits from this. What right do you have to question me?"
She had been tolerating this woman again and again. What on earth did this woman want?
"But falsehood will always remain false, won't it, Xu Tingyu? You stole my position. Why won't you give it back to me?"
Xie Yu was enraged by her calm demeanor.
She always acted like a noble and non - competing person, but in fact, she had gone to great lengths to become Mrs. Qi back then.
She had even forced Xie Yu to go abroad for further study.
"I didn't come here to listen to this. You lured me here with the truth about the Xu family's bankruptcy. Is this all the cliché you have to say?"
Xu Tingyu interrupted her impatiently.
She had heard these words countless times. Her ears were almost calloused.
Xie Yu's eyes turned red with anger as she glared at her.
"I knew you married Shi Feng for money. You don't care about him at all."
"No woman would be so indifferent to the fact that her husband doesn't have her in his heart. You clearly only care about the Qi family's power and influence."
These words were spoken with great indignation, which made Xu Tingyu laugh.
"Miss Xie, I've said this many times. If you're so interested in the identity of Mrs. Qi, then go and fight for it with Qi Shifeng yourself."
"Also, if you don't care about the Qi family's power, then whose money did you take when you went abroad?"
"Of course, I understand your actions. But before you point fingers at others, please take a look at yourself first. Are you really innocent?"
"Forgive me for being blunt, Miss Xie. You only dare to provoke me. It's just that you're afraid of letting Qi Shifeng know your true face. Is this really true love?"
Her straightforward words made Xie Yu widen her eyes. The next second, tears rolled down her cheeks.
"How dare you insult my true feelings? I just love him. What's wrong with that?"
As soon as she started crying, Xu Tingyu immediately became vigilant.
She looked around but didn't see Qi Shifeng.
But just because he wasn't here didn't mean Xie Yu wouldn't secretly record the conversation.
However, she didn't really care.
Even if Qi Shifeng were sitting right in front of her now, she wouldn't change a single word she had just said.
Because it was the truth. They had already reached this point. There was no need to hide anything.
"Does Qi Shifeng know that you came to talk to me like this?"
She looked at her coldly as she cried, extremely impatient.
If she had known about this, she would never have come to this meeting.
Xie Yu immediately stopped crying, looking a bit flustered. "Please don't tell him."
This flustered look reminded Xu Tingyu of herself more than three years ago.
Back then, she was unknown. She wore a set of expensive dresses bought by Qi Shifeng, but her face was full of panic.
Instead, it made that expensive dress look cheap.
And now, she was also wearing a top - tier luxury brand.
But when she showed a flustered expression again, one could no longer see the timidity in her heart.
Putting aside their "rival in love" status, Xu Tingyu actually admired her to some extent.
Coming from a poor family and achieving what she had now, she must have worked hard.
Although Qi Shifeng's help was indispensable, being able to catch Qi Shifeng's eye was already quite remarkable.
"Miss Xie, you're a public figure after all. If you just come to me like this and it gets out, it won't do you any good, right?"
Her tone was calm. Seeing the panicked look on the other woman's face, she smiled.
"So, let's talk about the bankruptcy of the Xu family. That Cai Lan is your relative. What did you guys do in it?"
When she mentioned the name Cai Lan, Xie Yu's tearful expression immediately changed.
It turned pale. She even forgot to hide her expression and just subconsciously asked, "How do you know about him?"
"Is it so hard to find out?"
Xu Tingyu calmly retorted, her sharp eyes fixed on Xie Yu.
She had tried to find the truth from Qi Shifeng, but he was a man who left no loopholes. There was not a single flaw to be found.
Perhaps Xie Yu was the breakthrough.
This woman was good at pretending, but her willpower was not strong enough. A few words could easily break her defense.
Sure enough, Xie Yu avoided her gaze nervously.
"I don't know what you're talking about. It's true that Cai Lan is my cousin, but he has always done business in a proper way."
"The bankruptcy of your Xu family is because your father was not good at running the business. What does it have to do with my cousin?"
"Have you lost your status as a young lady and now you're just making random accusations?"
Xie Yu felt a bit uneasy under her gaze.
But after she said so much, Xu Tingyu didn't say a word. She just looked at her calmly.
This look was actually a bit similar to Qi Shifeng's.
Her uneasiness grew stronger.
Recently, Qi Shifeng had become a bit of a mystery to her.
Take the matter of Xie Shu for example. It was he who personally ordered the ban.
Although Xie Shu had a conflict with Qi Ruixi, it was understandable that Qi Shifeng would protect his own younger sister.
But in the end, Qi Ruixi was standing up for Xu Tingyu.
This made her very uneasy.
Before, she had talked to Qi Shifeng. At that time, she thought he would make Xu Tingyu quit the competition.
But after such a long time, Xu Tingyu still appeared on the show as usual.
She became more and more confused about Qi Shifeng's attitude towards this woman. So she deliberately incited the program team to do some hype.
She even privately found Sheng Man, threatening and bribing him to make Xu Tingyu make a fool of herself in front of the camera.
Those online trolls who were leading the rhythm were also her doing.
But she didn't expect that Sheng Man would not be able to bear the pressure and would take the initiative to apologize to Xu Tingyu.
The program team also dared not continue the hype because of Xu Tingyu's status.
Even the hot searches on the Internet were cleared up in an instant.
Although none of her tricks had been exposed, she still couldn't stand the torture and couldn't help but find Xu Tingyu.
But this woman didn't care about her provocation at all.
So she had to bring up the matter of the Xu family's bankruptcy.
Because Cai Lan had told her that Xu Tingyu hadn't given up on investigating these things.
Sure enough, because of this, she came.
But Xie Yu didn't expect that she would still be at a disadvantage.
But there was one thing she was sure of, that was, Xu Tingyu really didn't love Qi Shifeng.
What Xu Tingyu cared about was the power of the Qi family.
After confirming this, she straightened her back.
She was different. She loved Qi Shifeng as a person.
"Whether there's a connection or not, it's not up to you to deny. I will continue to investigate."
"If you just lured me here with the matter of the Xu family but actually have nothing to tell me, then I'll leave."
Xu Tingyu didn't want to argue with her anymore. She stood up and was about to leave.
Behind her came Xie Yu's不甘心 voice.
"Sure enough, you only care about your own business. Since you don't love him, why don't you just let us be together?"
