Chapter 298 - I’m the One Indebted to You (2)
Xing Yiyue uncovered her face and stared at the empress with wide eyes. What did she mean by that? She couldn't understand Tang Moyu at all!
"W-what—"
However, her words were immediately cut off by the empress's overbearing aura, it almost suffocated her.
"I'm saying…. Madam Feng, I understand that you love each other so much, so there's no need to plot behind my back, don't you think? You never made it clear, but obviously the person who was supposed to fall down those stairs was me." Tang Moyu's eyes darkened as she remembered how this woman tried to push her down.
Thankfully, she had fast reflexes and managed to avoid Xing Yiyue, who was about to push her. If she was the one who fell down, there was no doubt that she would lose her little buns that day!
The colors on Xing Yiyue's face drained at Tang Moyu's words while Feng Tianhua was shocked by her revelation. So it turned out that his wife was the one who wanted to hurt Tang Moyu instead?
Lu Tianxin covered her mouth. She heard about the incident from Li Meili before. Li Meili said that Feng Tianhua's claims were nothing but lies. Tang Moyu didn't push Xing Yiyue on the stairs in the Feng Mansion. However, this was something neither of them knew about as Tang Moyu had been mum about the incident all this time.
"Did you know that I was already pregnant back then, Madam Feng? What were you thinking?" The empress's smile sent cold shivers down Xing Yiyue's spine.
Although everyone could see the slightly teary Xing Yiyue talking to Tang Moyu, they couldn't hear the words between them. Only Ye Xiaozu, Lu Tianxin and Feng Tianhua, who was standing close to them, were able to hear the conversation between the two women.
Tang Moyu pulled a clean handkerchief from her coat and carefully dried the actress's tears.
Did Xing Yiyue think that she's the only one who could twist the truth? That she's the only one who could pull an act in front of everyone?
Xing Yiyue was too shocked to step back from the empress. She didn't expect that Tang Moyu would be able to turn the table, instantly putting her at a disadvantage.
"You should be glad that I wasn't the one who fell down, Madam Feng. Don't you know? I hate being in debt." Tang Moyu's icy tone was enough for Xing Yiyue to tremble in fear. "I'll make sure to return the favor a hundredfold."
"Xing Yiyue, don't worry, I will make sure to repay your kindness to me someday." Tang Moyu said with a smile and patted Xing Yiyue's face with a gentleness that people hadn't expected from her.
Thinking about it, if Xing Yiyue didn't scheme against her by sending her to another man's bed, Tang Moyu would never have her little buns, her most beloved treasure in this cruel world.
The event also led to her being kicked out by the Tang family, allowing her to see the reality and her foolishness. She knew then that her efforts to win her parents' approval were futile. That in her family's eyes, she was nothing but a valuable chess piece.
"That's enough, Xing Yiyue." Feng Tianhua stepped forward and pulled his wife's arm away from Tang Moyu, who still hadn't finished drying Xing Yiyue's tears.
Tang Moyu glanced at him, saw his infuriated expression and scoffed inwardly. Did he see now how conniving his wife was?
"D-darling?" Xing Yiyue was too immersed in her thoughts, she didn't even notice her husband was within earshot.
Had he heard what Tang Moyu said? NO! This can't be happening to her!
Feng Tianhua shouldn't know what she had done in the past. She feared that once he found out, he would blame her for everything. It was bad enough that she could feel him distancing himself from her ever since they got married, she wouldn't be able to take it if he really chose to end things with her. With the volatile state that theFeng Conglomerate was currently facing, everything was s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e and she needed to be careful.
How can she not know what people were saying behind their backs after Tang Moyu left the company? Didn't they blame her for the situation that the company was in? They also mocked her for not being able to provide Feng Tianhua with an heir during the past five years.
Those who had been working closely with the empress before knew how hard working and professional she was, so they were displeased when Feng Tianhua kicked her out of the company. If they could, they would rather follow her to Tang Enterprise, but it wouldn't be easy.
"Moyu, I apologize for Yiyue's intrusion. She isn't feeling too good right now. I hope you'll be the bigger person this time." Feng Tianhua said in between his teeth, annoyed that his wife had managed to offend Tang Moyu again.
Hadn't she learned her lesson the last time they met? Didn't Tang Moyu easily deflect her and was able to retaliate by dragging The Black Nightingale into their issue?
The corners of Tang Moyu's lips curled into a mocking smile as she faced her ex-fiance.
"Aren't I always, Feng Tianhua?" Reminding him that compared to the woman standing next to him, Xing Yiyue can never hold a candle to her. She would be letting them off too easily if she didn't take a jab at Feng Tianhua's ego. There was no way she would allow Xing Yiyue the satisfaction of putting her down!
The title of Madam Feng was something she d.e.s.i.r.ed before, but as Tang Moyu looked at Feng Tianhua and Xing Yiyue right now, she realized that it was just a title, bearing no worth in its name.
What was so good about it? If she married Feng Tianhua, Tang Moyu was sure Wang Ruoxi would be her problem. That old woman reminded her too much of Zhang Wuying.
However, unlike the latter, Wang Ruoxi had a gentle demeanor when facing the public. Everyone seemed to love her and she could easily get along with anyone, which made the empress wary of her.
"President Ye, Tianxin, I think I've had enough for today. I'm leaving."
