CHAPTER 492: CHAPTER 492: YOUR BIGGEST MISTAKE IS SCHEMING AGAINST MRS. GU!

Zhu Jianian turned pale with fright; she hadn’t expected this woman to have such formidable skills!

"You... What exactly do you want? I’ve never wronged you," Zhu Jianian’s voice trembled as she spoke.

The blonde woman warned in fluent Chinese, "Scheming against Mrs. Gu is your greatest crime!"

Zhu Jianian’s pupils contracted sharply.

Mrs. Gu...

She’s with Ji Wei!

Zhu Jianian’s heart tightened to the extreme; instinctively, she clenched the recording pen, praying that the woman hadn’t noticed the device in her hand.

"I don’t know what you’re talking about... I’m the young lady of the Zhu Family. My father was once a renowned figure in the business world; don’t you dare act impulsively..."

Zhu Jianian forced herself to stay calm, but her trembling voice betrayed her unease.

"Hand it over." Mary didn’t want to waste words with this woman and extended her hand toward her.

"What... What thing? I don’t have anything."

Zhu Jianian stepped backward, but the bathroom was only so big—where could she retreat to?

Mary twisted her neck slightly, clenched her fists, and let her knuckles crack audibly.

That movement was clearly a prelude to action.

Zhu Jianian stared wide-eyed in terror, completely panicked: "Don’t come closer! Stay away! Did you hear me, stay away!"

Mary couldn’t be bothered to respond to her shouting; with a swift and elegant move, she pinned Zhu Jianian’s wrist securely behind her back.

The motion was so fast that Zhu Jianian was caught entirely off guard.

"It hurts so much!"

Zhu Jianian cried out in pain, her face contorted as her palm instinctively relaxed.

Mary swiftly caught the falling recording pen.

"If you dare target Mrs. Gu again, next time you won’t be so lucky," Mary warned coldly, shoving Zhu Jianian forcefully toward the sink before turning on her heel to leave.

Zhu Jianian trembled with rage but could only watch helplessly as the bathroom door slammed shut.

She hated her, hated her so much! She was utterly unwilling to accept it!

The evidence she had worked so hard to obtain had been snatched away just like that!

Leaning against the wall for a long time, Zhu Jianian finally managed to calm her emotions and walked over to pick up her phone.

The phone’s screen was shattered, but the call function was still usable.

Zhu Jianian scrolled through her contacts, found a number, and dialed.

Not knowing whether the foreign woman had gone far, she lowered her voice, her tone laced with unconcealed malice: "Miss Tang, I’ve made up my mind. As long as you can bring down the Ji Family, I’m willing to give everything and cooperate with you!"

The more Ji Wei tried to obstruct her, the more determined she was to take reckless risks.

She wouldn’t be a Zhu if she didn’t make that wretched woman pay a devastating price!

After quickly arranging a rendezvous, Zhu Jianian hung up.

But before long, Nan Huiru returned her call.

Zhu Jianian took a deep breath, forced down her resentment, and began speaking with a voice full of aggrieved distress: "Aunt Huiru, there’s something I must tell you. I’ve always considered you the closest person to me, so I can’t bear to see you and Uncle being deceived again and again.

That Ji Wei isn’t pregnant at all; she’s tricking you both. Her intentions are insidious, and her methods are utterly despicable—just to stay by Mo Qian’s side..."

Though she didn’t have evidence left, just revealing the fake pregnancy scheme to Nan Huiru would be enough to guarantee Ji Wei wouldn’t get any peace!

She was absolutely certain of Nan Huiru’s combative nature!

Zhu Jianian grew increasingly excited as she spoke, her volume rising significantly.

Mary, who had already been on her way out, froze upon hearing the vile slander faintly drifting out. She immediately stopped in her tracks.

In front of Nan Huiru, Zhu Jianian let loose every disparaging word she could think of about Ji Wei. Finally, her mood improved considerably.

She adjusted her appearance in the mirror and then walked over to open the bathroom door.

But as soon as she pushed the door open, the sight of that notorious blonde instantly made her drop her phone, rendering it completely ruined this time.
