The Fake Daughter is the Hidden Bigshot

Chapter 10: Friendly Fire



"Divorce. Nothing else."

The cold voice with an unmatched low intensity shocked everyone in the hall before they realised the speaker was Cie Zhen's elder brother.

Cie Tang, the heir to the Cie Family and buisness whoch could be said to have some standing in the city, though not more than the Shen Family, they did have a military background.

Which made it next to impossible to be rude to them and now, one of theirs had been played around all her life like a fiddle.

Before anyone else could react, the brazen Mistress echoed, "Hah! What else you'd expect? She's not even fit to be a mother, let alone a wife."

At this point, Cie Zhen was too angry to even speak, she could only look at her son, but almost lost it the moment she did.

Because... her son, the one she carried for ten months, was actually looking at herself with a condescending attitude.

That wasn't how one looked at their mother!

Let alone, even he onlookers were stunned speechless, not expecting one's biological son to stab his mother in the end.

And... that was the final nail in the coffin as Cie Zhen almost collapsed but she gritted her teeth, certain to see it to the end, relying on her brother for support.

She knew how much he disliked being chained down and might even hate her for making him the heir when she was supposed to be the heir...

Yet she couldn't help but repy on him despite her guilt, unable to find any other support in her movement of vulnerability.

She hadn't realised all her life that she had been with a leech who only wanted to get the maximum value out of her before throwing her out.

To add to the hurt, even her own son disdained her, choosing a mistress over him.

Just where had she gone wrong?

[Ahhhhhhhh! So infuriating!! Just because she wanted to train her son like herself, she was strict on him and that Mistress was soft, so he started to lean towards her even after discovering her affair with his father and felt it would be better if she were his mother!?]

Ming Yue stomped her foot slightly, which went unnoticed as everyone was too focused on the drama but the cool big sister had all her attention on this girl and had already approached her.

She reflexively patted Ming Yue's arm and back in an attempt to calm her down.

[This... What's going on?] Ming Yue wondered, unable to understand the situation.

Yet the next second before the other party could formulate an excuse, she came up with one herself.

[Oh, I get it! She must be too excited at the gossip and needs to calm herself, and is using reverse psychology? But... could it be even used like this?]

Although Ming Yue doubted this, the girl next to her didn't stop or turn to look at her, as if fully absorbed in the drama, so Ming Yue couldn't discover the truth and could only return to the interesting part.

Surely, it would be fun to enjoy the scene of the scumbag and bitch getting face slapped, right?

Just as she thought this, the panicked Tianfu Electronics Director's voice sounded, "No, no! There's nothing! She's just a friend!"

He tried to diffuse the situation, having not completed the procedures to dissolve the marital property and transfer it to his Mistress and son.

It was one thing to give it to his Mistress which could be recovered if she was found out, but taking it back from her son?

Surely, Cie Zhen wasn't such a woman.

Alas, he himself forgot that Cie Tang was a crazy guy who'd spent some time in the military and wouldn't back down.

Especially after this became a public spectacle where his only sister got humiliated in the upper class society.

Even the Shen Father and Mother were unresponsive, unable to do anything and could only conveniently curse the cause of all this in their minds.

Naturally, all the burden was on the unaware Ming Yue who was busy enjoying the reparation of the scumbag and bitch!

She couldn't stand them being wishy washy, happy and let an innocent women suffer.

As a woman herself, she had sympathy for them despite her years as a spy and the amount of varied jobs she did.

"Haah! Don't you just want to keep both in hand?"

Her casual comment amongst the gossip was inconspicuous and only the woman next to her heard it clearly.

Yet the direction of discussion changed.

"Yeah, it couldn't be that he dares to do it but doesn't own up?"

"After all, he just did something what every man does."

"True, it's a common mistake. His wife should just accept it."

Just as someone nodded at that comment, his wife directly knocked him over by kicking at his calf, rendering him speechless.

And he wasn't the only one who suffered, almost every man who seemed to agree wih that twisted thought got some sort of redemption.

Of course, even the mistresses who won over the original wives frowned, eyeing their husband's warily.

All in all, if they could snatch them up, then why couldn't anyone else?

Although this twisted thought process was disgusting, it was very valid!

And before any of them could voice their doubts, Cie Tang spoke again, "Divorce according to the pre-marriage agreement."

At the mention of this, some women felt enlightened, probably going to get this thing done before their marriage.

And as expected by Ming Yue, the director husband panicked at the mere mention of that agreement and divorce according to it.

No, he couldn't lose everything he earned throughout his life.

He could only look resentfully at Cie Zhen and change his gaze to regret, guilt, and love to have a shot at salvaging the situation and postponing it till he completed his preperations.

Unfortunately, someone caught him off-guard.

"Yes, dad, please divorce her!"

It was none other than his stupid son, who was the cuase of all this preemptive move!

And hearing his words, his father really felt infuriated to the point of wanting to beat his son black and blue.

Yet he could only hold himself back as he felt Cie Tang's icy gaze boring into him.

[Friendly Fire strikes again! Pfft-]
