When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase-Chapter 567: Mrs. Sheng’s Secret (17)

Tang Yanqi spoke and suddenly stopped, her smile growing increasingly cold and inscrutable. Her red lips parted slightly as she uttered four words softly: "Mastermind behind the scenes."

She spoke slowly, her eyes not missing a single expression on Mrs. Sheng’s face.

The woman of elegance and grace began to show fear in her eyes, her complexion turning unsightly.

But soon, Tang Yanqi had to commend the woman’s psychological resilience. It was truly exceptional. Within less than ten seconds, Mrs. Sheng regained her composure: "I don’t understand your words. The reason I believed you wouldn’t get pregnant stems from three years ago. If you had been pregnant, you definitely would have used the child as an excuse to stay with the Sheng Family."

Mrs. Sheng leaned back slightly and continued: "Back then, Jianan only wanted Yaoyao. You tried several times to meet him but never succeeded. If you were truly pregnant then, how could you not tell Jianan about it and use the child to bind her, leaving Yaoyao with no chance to contest with you?"

Tang Yanqi gradually toned down her demeanor and smiled faintly: "Aunt, there’s never been any contest between Shen Yao and me. I was once Sheng Jianan’s rightful wife. What was she? Childhood sweetheart? Friend? At most, a benefactor. Now, I am still Sheng Jianan’s rightful wife. What is she now? A third party attempting to destroy our marriage? An employee at Shengshi Group?"

Mrs. Sheng seemed caught off guard by Tang Yanqi’s sharp words, pausing for a moment as she was about to speak. Tang Yanqi suddenly raised her hand, interrupting her before she could utter a word: "Aunt, there are some things I won’t forgive, but neither do I want to pursue them. Since you’ve brought them up today, let’s settle the accounts properly."

Tang Yanqi tapped her fingers on the table. Perhaps from spending too much time with Sheng Jianan, she mimicked his gesture with about seventy to eighty percent resemblance. It carried a silent intensity along with a touch of feminine grace.

"Back then, you told me Jianan didn’t want to see me and persuaded me to go upstairs to his room and beg him myself. You even had me witness Shen Yao coming out of his room. That’s right, I was indeed deceived then. But I won’t always be deceived. Do you think I don’t know that during those days, Jianan was in Grandpa’s room?"

"You..."

"Jianan did indeed shout ’get out’ at me, but at that time, he wasn’t even in the room. I’m afraid his shout wasn’t directed at me, right? Moreover, those text messages from Jianan... Shouldn’t I also suspect they weren’t from him?"

As she spoke, Tang Yanqi slowly stood up, placing her hands on the table, her body leaning slightly forward as she confronted Mrs. Sheng: "Aunt, I once thought you disliked me simply because I am an illegitimate child. But to meticulously plot and use every means possible to expel me, even after successfully making me sign the divorce papers, you still send people to harm me. You want my life. Such extreme cruelty... Is it truly just because I’m an illegitimate child and not a proper daughter of the family? Surely... not, right?"

Tang Yanqi spoke these words swiftly yet distinctly, and when she finished, Mrs. Sheng’s face went completely pale. Even her strongest psychological resilience couldn’t withstand Tang Yanqi’s relentless intimidation.

Tang Yanqi slowly pulled back, stood upright, a cold smile on her lips, and stared at Mrs. Sheng.

"I don’t want to break all ties, but if you do, I’m game."
