At this moment, on the mall corridor bustling with people, Shu Yuehua and Wei Li were sitting on the bench next to a store, chatting away.

However, while laughing and talking with Shu Yuehua, Wei Li took out a black, round, small box from her purse, and while Shu Yuehua wasn't paying attention, she slipped the box into Shu Yuehua's pocket.

This scene, Wei Li's action was extremely subtle; neither Shu Yuehua nor Liao Sheng noticed it.

But it was seen very clearly by Ye Feng!

He could tell that the black, round, small box was exquisitely packaged and must be something very valuable!

Ye Feng did not believe it was a gift Wei Li intended to give to Shu Yuehua; she definitely had an ulterior motive!

Thinking this, Ye Feng's expression darkened, and then he scanned Wei Li with his eyes. When he noticed a small tuft of golden hair on her pants, he was slightly taken aback.

Following that, Ye Feng's nose twitched, as he smelled not only a scent of perfume from Wei Li but also a faint, odd smell.

Having realized what that smell was, Ye Feng's expression became extremely strange, and the look he gave Wei Li was filled with amusement.

"Alright, Wei Li! Let's talk another day. Ye Feng and I have some matters to attend to," Shu Yuehua said after chatting with Wei Li for a while and then stood up to take her leave.

And at that moment, Ye Feng came over, his palm gently wrapping around Shu Yuehua's waist.

Shu Yuehua was startled, not expecting Ye Feng to be so bold as to openly hold her, but a blush surfaced on her pretty face, and she did not resist.

After bidding farewell to Wei Li, Shu Yuehua and Ye Feng intended to leave. But as they passed by Wei Li, Ye Feng slightly brushed her shoulder.

"Ouch! Don't you watch where you're going?" Wei Li, rubbing her shoulder that had been bumped and was now slightly painful, glared furiously at Ye Feng.

Ye Feng, with a full face of apology, said sorry to Wei Li and then planned to leave with Shu Yuehua!

"Wait!"

Just at that moment, an angry shout from Wei Li rang out.

Huh?

Shu Yuehua was taken aback, then turned her head to look at Wei Li, asking with confusion, "Wei Li, is there something else? If there's nothing else, let's catch up another day!"

Shu Yuehua had thought that Wei Li wanted to continue their idle chat, but upon hearing her words, an icy smile appeared on Wei Li's pretty face.

"Shu Yuehua! I really didn't expect you to be this kind of person!"

At this moment, Wei Li's demeanor completely changed from friendly, staring at Shu Yuehua with angry eyes, as if the latter had done something unforgivable.

And upon hearing these words, everyone was stunned, especially Liao Sheng.

He had always harbored affection for Shu Yuehua and didn't want their relationship to sour. Furrowing his brows, he scolded Wei Li:

"Wei Li! What nonsense are you spouting! What's wrong with Yuehua? We'll all meet again in the future. If you want to chat, anytime is possible! What's gotten into you!!!"

Liao Sheng was extremely dissatisfied with his wife. Although Wei Li was also a beauty during their school days, ever since they got married, her figure had completely gone out of shape, and she had become a fiery character. Compared to Shu Yuehua, it was like heaven and earth apart!

And now, Shu Yuehua not only looked more stunning than during her school days, but her figure was also even hotter, a mere glance would make one's heart race; she was a top-notch beauty!

Even now, Liao's mind harbored thoughts of divorcing Wei Li and pursuing Shu Yuehua again.

And upon hearing her own husband so protectively speaking of Shu Yuehua, Wei Li's face revealed an unmasked jealousy and hatred.

"What kind of madness is this? Liao, I am your wife, not her, Shu Yuehua!!!"

Wei Li yelled at Liao in anger, then turned her gaze towards Shu Yuehua, her eyes filled with bitter venom:

"Shu Yuehua! I always thought of you as my close friend, but I never expected you'd be this kind of person! I know you're poor, that after being driven from the Zhou Family home you didn't get a penny of inheritance, and you have an ill mother who has been bedridden for many years. But that doesn't mean you can stoop to such filthy deeds!"

Wei Li's words made Shu Yuehua tremble all over. With disbelief written all over her face, she couldn't fathom how her old classmate, who was smiling just a moment ago, could change her demeanor so quickly.

"Wei Li, is there some misunderstanding between us?" Shu Yuehua didn't like Wei Li's sharp and harsh words, but she was not a confrontational woman, so she asked.

"Misunderstanding? Garbage misunderstanding!"

Wei Li's pretty face was chilled with animosity. At that moment, she was the spitting image of a shrew, pointing her finger at Shu Yuehua's nose as she spoke:

"Shu Yuehua! Don't I know you? Back in school, you married into the Zhou Family for money! Now that you've killed your old husband and got kicked out of the Zhou Family, you hook up with a pretty boy! And for the sake of keeping this pretty boy, you stoop to thievery and deceit. You really have no shame!!!"

Wei Li's words were extremely vicious, and her voice was loud enough to draw the attention of passersby, who stopped in their tracks to look in their direction. They were pointing at Shu Yuehua and whispering to each other, engaging in gossip.

"Hey! What's going on? Is that mature woman really as disgraceful as that shrewish woman is saying?"

"Who knows! These days people will do anything for money. The prettier the woman, the less trustworthy!"

"I never would have guessed that the mature woman with a devilish figure is actually a widow! But looking at her, she seems to be about twenty-five or twenty-six, and the man beside her seems much younger; maybe he really is the pretty boy she's keeping!"

"What a shame for that handsome guy! I didn't expect him to be a kept man!"

"..."

The surrounding pedestrians were exceedingly interested in this melodrama, gathering in groups and reveling in the chaos.

As Shu Yuehua absorbed these comments, her beautiful face turned a shade of gray defeat, as if her wounds had been ripped open, causing a pain so intense, it felt like her heart was being torn apart!

"Ye Feng, I'm sorry!"

Shu Yuehua didn't care about Wei Li's sharp and harsh words but immediately apologized to Ye Feng.

In her eyes, it didn't matter how others criticized her; she didn't want Ye Feng to be affected because of her.

Ye Feng patted her arm, took her hand firmly into his, and said nothing.

"Wei Li! That's enough!!!" At that moment, Liao's face turned an iron shade of blue, and he was furiously upset.

This shrew's outburst was sure to distance him further from Shu Yuehua, and he felt like strangling his wife.

Wei Li, after hearing the words of the bystanders, a barely discernible smirk appeared on her face. Then she turned to Liao and said:

"Liao! I know you used to like Shu Yuehua, but she is no longer the pure and fiery beauty queen from school! Now she's a widow, a battered and declining flower! A thief who stoops so low just to support a pretty boy!!!"

Widow! A battered and declining flower!

These words left Shu Yuehua's pretty face deathly pale, but upon hearing the word 'thief', disbelief filled her beautiful eyes.
