"Just like you did last time, let everyone know what she did, let everyone know what kind of person she is. In our circle, face is the most important thing."

Song Ci stopped there, and she picked up her teacup and slowly drank a cup of tea.

A sinister glint flashed in Old Mrs. Chen's eyes. She nodded, her tone excited.

"She got away with it last time, but this time I'm going to show everyone what a fickle and despicable woman she is!"

Song Ci nodded. "I'm inviting some ladies to afternoon tea this afternoon. You'd like to join us."

Song Ci's circle was far beyond what the current Old Mrs. Chen could access. Upon hearing Song Ci's words, Old Mrs. Chen looked at Song Ci with excitement.

"Can I really participate?"

Song Ci raised an eyebrow. "Why not?"

After receiving Song Ci's affirmative reply, Old Madam Chen became invigorated and completely forgot that she had come to see Song Ci to take revenge on Nan Shu.

Seeing her smug expression, Song Ci coughed lightly and reminded her.

"I hope you don't forget what you have to do."

Hearing the warning in Song Ci's tone, Old Mrs. Chen hurriedly agreed.

"Don't worry, Madam Song, I know I went today because of Nan Shu's matter, and I know what I'm doing!"

After discussing Nan Shu's matter, Song Ci sent someone to escort Old Madam Chen out.

After watching Old Mrs. Chen leave, Song Ci's smile vanished, replaced by a look of disdain.

A pot-bellied man walked over and spoke respectfully but with some doubt.

"Since she hates Nan Shu, she'll definitely try every means to smear Nan Shu's reputation. Why are you helping her? Won't that just let President Qi know that you were behind it?"

Song Ci smiled nonchalantly, "What harm is there in letting him know? I want everyone to know that I don't approve of Qi Yuye's marriage proposal."

"Although I am his stepmother, I was also his father's lawful wife. As long as I do not acknowledge Nan Shu, they will never be able to openly join forces against me."

In the afternoon, at the Qi family's old residence.

Several wealthy ladies sat around Song Ci, casually chatting while sipping tea.

Song Ci glanced at the time, then gave a wink to the steward standing guard beside him.

The butler nodded immediately and slipped out without leaving a trace.

Before long, the housekeeper brought in Old Mrs. Chen.

Upon seeing Old Mrs. Chen behind the housekeeper, the eyes of several wealthy ladies all fell on her.

They had all seen Old Madam Chen at Song Ci's birthday banquet and witnessed her causing trouble, so when they saw her again, they all showed expressions of disgust.

People like Old Mrs. Chen are not worthy of sharing a room with them.

When Old Mrs. Chen looked at the several fair-skinned, beautiful, and wealthy ladies in front of her, her eyes lit up.

Her gaze fell on the young woman next to the wealthy women, and her eyes lit up again.

Judging from the girls' attire and the fact that they can come to the Qi family's old mansion for afternoon tea, their backgrounds must be extraordinary.

Mrs. Chen thought to herself with delight that only someone like him was qualified to marry her son.

She would definitely find a way to bring her son over next time she had the chance. As long as these people saw her son, they would definitely be willing to marry him.

Seeing that Old Mrs. Chen hadn't spoken for a while, Song Ci coughed lightly to remind her.

"This is Mrs. Chen. She raised her son alone, which was not easy. Her son is the owner of the Chen family business. He climbed up from the bottom and built his business from scratch. It wasn't easy."

When Grandma Chen heard Song Ci's voice, she came to her senses and a smug smile appeared on her face.

"That's right, that's right, my son is the owner of the Chen family business."

The ladies across the way were even more displeased with her when they saw her like this.

One of them, being outspoken, couldn't help but frown and say...

"What is the Chen family? What are their main businesses? I've never heard of them before."

These words instantly froze the smile on Old Mrs. Chen's face.

She saw the disdain in the ladies' eyes and awkwardly rubbed her hands together.

Seeing this, Song Ci continued.

"Young people have plenty of opportunities to grow in the future."

Song Ci gave Old Madam Chen a way out. When the other ladies saw that Song Ci was speaking up for Old Madam Chen, they immediately realized what was going on and put away their disdain, nodding in agreement.

"Mrs. Song is right. Although the scale is small now, as long as we follow the right people, who can say what the future holds?"

Old Mrs. Chen put away her smug expression and, at Song Ci's prompting, sat down next to her.

Song Ci picked up his teacup, took a sip of tea, and mentioned it intentionally or unintentionally.

"I heard your son is out? It seems the previous incident was a misunderstanding, right?"

Song Ci had only brought up the topic when Old Madam Chen couldn't wait to chime in.

"That's right. I told you before that my son just missed Chen Enci, so I took him out to spend some time with him. Who knew his mother would misunderstand and insist that my son kidnapped her son!"

Grandma Chen slapped her thigh and sighed, looking every bit like a victim.

Hearing the conversation between Old Mrs. Chen and Song Ci, the ladies nearby couldn't help but gossip.

Who is Chen Enci?

Song Ci chuckled and replied.

"It's the son that Nan Shu brought. He was born in the Chen family. Later, Nan Shu brought him to find Yu Ye. Yu Ye insisted that he was his son... I couldn't do anything about it, and I couldn't persuade him otherwise."

Gossip among the wealthy is often the best way to build relationships. The few people who had just been looking down on Old Mrs. Chen immediately turned to her and pressed her for answers.

"What exactly happened? Is that child your son's?"

Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Chen sighed and shook her head.

"My son never talks to me about this, but she divorced President Qi so long ago, and she and my son have known each other for a long time. I really don't know whose child this is."

"I could let that child go, since it was born while she was with my son, but then she went on to divorce my son, and then, coincidentally, President Qi returned to China to inherit the Shengda Group. Who wouldn't have some suspicions!"

Several wealthy women exchanged glances, their eyes gleaming with gossip.

"Anything else? What else has Nan Shu done?"

Several wealthy young ladies nearby also joined in, eager to know about Nan Shu.

Seeing this, Old Mrs. Chen looked up and glanced at Song Ci.

Song Ci smiled and nodded almost imperceptibly.

Having received permission, Mrs. Chen became even more enthusiastic.

It wasn't until evening that Old Mrs. Chen reluctantly left the Qi family's old house.
