My Lady, To Defeat Scumbags You Must Start Early

In the hall, Song Zhizhi’s determined attitude made the situation awkvvard for Nie Wenzhi.

But Nie Wenzhi continued to say in a soft voice, “You’re taking the matter too lightly, Zhizhi. As I said before, the Ji family will never compromise on matters that concern their reputation. If we try to coerce them into continuing with the marriage plan, I’m afraid you might get hurt.”

“That wont happen. If I marry into the Ji family, they won’t dare to treat me too badly, because of my father’s status,” Song Zhizhi stated bluntly.

Nie Wenzhi’s face stiffened slightly.

She never expected that Song Zhizhi would be able to refute her so bluntly now.

Were her efforts for over ten years all for nothing?!

Nie Wenzhi controlled her emotions. “Even so, with the current situation, the Ji family will not accept you!”

“Do you not want me to marry Ji Baijian, Aunt Wenzhi?” Song Zhizhi made an abrupt turn and suddenly questioned Nie Wenzhi.

Nie Wenzhi’s face reddened for an instant due to Song Zhizhi hitting the mark on her secret. Fortunately, she had very good self-control. She quickly asked back, “Why would you think that, Zhizhi?”

“Because you keep opposing me.”

“We all understand the current situation. I’m just afraid you’ll get hurt. I don’t want to see you sad.”

“But I’ve made it very clear just now that I won’t be sad. Me marrying Ji Baijian is also highly beneficial to our family and has no drawbacks. So why do you keep opposing me, Aunt Wenzhi?”

“You misunderstood me,” Nie Wenzhi explained in a hurry, “I’m just worried that the Ji family will make things hard for you.”

“I can deal with it. I hope you can respect my decision too, ” Song Zhizhi said bluntly. She even looked very sincere when she said it.

“Of course I will. But, as older people, we can see more than you do.

Sometimes…”

“When you wanted to marry my father back in the days, didn’t grandma also refuse?” Song Zhizhi interrupted Nie Wenzhi, “Why didn’t you give up back then? It’s not like you have the backing of a strong background. You were even divorced at the time and have a child. Your conditions were not that desirable either, but you didn’t give up.”

“Of course, it’s not that I dislike you. I’m even grateful for the warmth you brought to our family. I’m grateful for your persistence back then and for grandma’s tolerance.”

It really was an irrefutable speech!

If Nie Wenzhi tried to say any more, it would become obvious that she was deliberately trying to instigate something.

When did Song Zhizhi become so good?

Song Zhizhi had no interest in what Nie Wenzhi thought. After a short pause, she muttered, “Auntie, is it because Xiaofei likes Ji Baijian? That’s why you…”

“Of course not!” Nie Wenzhi’s instantly raised her voice and retorted rather emotionally, “How could I possibly have something like that in mind?” Qin Ciling frowned slightly, ‘Xiaofei likes Ji Baijian?

“That’s right, grandma. Didn’t I go to the Ji family to cancel the engagement once before? At the time, it was because Xiaofei said she likes Ji Baijian that I thought I’d let her have him instead. But after thinking about it, even if I cancel the engagement, the Ji family will not necessarily accept Xiaofei either. It matters a lot to prestigious families to have matching statuses. Xiaofei won’t do. ”

“Of course Xiaofei won’t do,” Qin Ciling stated bluntly, “She doesn’t have a high enough status. The Ji family definitely won’t accept her.”

Being so bluntly looked down on, blood rushed to Nie Xiaofei’s face. She had been in the Song family for so many years and had always been good and obedient, constantly trying to please the Song family members, but in the end, all her efforts were meaningless. She knew that Song Zhizhi probably looked down on her too deep down inside. Song Zhizhi’s usual kindness was just an act.

She was so furious that her teeth were gnashing. She said, “I don’t actually have feelings for Ji Baijian. I only said I liked him because sis said she didn’t want to marry an impotent man. All I want is to make sis happy. If someone from our family have to marry Ji Baijian, I’d rather sacrifice myself.”

She looked so aggrieved when she said that.

“That’s great! I don’t want there to be any misunderstanding between us, Xiaofei,” Song Zhizhi went with her Nie Xiaofei’s momentum. She was not the least bit grateful and would not give others a chance to be moved by Nie Xiaofei’s words. “Because of all the interests involved, I’ve made the decision to marry Ji Baijian after giving the matter careful consideration. I’ve also explained it to Yi Wenhan in no uncertain terms. But unexpectedly, someone’s trying to cause trouble at this critical juncture. This is no doubt an intentional sabotage, and I have no intention of doing what the culprit wants me to do. The culprit might even be one of our competitors.”

Qin Ciling nodded in agreement. “This is indeed a possibility. What do you think, son?”

Qin Ciling had always deferred to her son. More precisely, in her era, the men made all the decisions.

“Zhizhi’s suggestion will naturally bring the best outcome, but what I’m worried about is the Ji family’s attitude…”

“Dad, I just need you to persuade Uncle Ji to give us a week to deal with the matter. If we can’t handle it properly, it won’t be too late for them to call off the marriage then, but if we could, it’ll benefit us both. I believe Uncle Ji will agree to it,” Song Zhizhi said very seriously, “Leave everything else to me. I’ll take care of it.”

“In that case, I’ll trust you, Zhizhi,” Song Shan decided.

The Ji family is indeed a fat piece of meat for the political arena at the moment. It would be a pity to lose them.

Song Zhizhi smiled. “I’m going out for a moment. Remember to suppress the news, dad. Don’t let the gossips keep spreading.”

“I will.”

“Okay, I’ll be going.”

Song Zhizhi left the Song residence in a hurry.

She was going to look for Ji Baijian. Since Ji Baijian was the one who would

marry her, gaining his trust was the key. Otherwise, everything else would be for naught.

After Song Zhizhi had left, Qin Ciling sighed with relief in the Song family’s living room, “I feel like Zhizhi has grown up. She consider things more thoroughly than we do.”

“Yes, it does feel like she’s suddenly become enlightened,” Song Shan smiled, “Anyway, this matter is up to Zhizhi now. I believe in my daughter.” Qin Ciling also nodded her head.

Meanwhile, Nie Wenzhi and Nie Xiaofei exchanged very malicious glances between themselves.

They were actually rendered speechless in the face of Song Zhizhi’s aggressiveness! This was something that had never happened before, and something they never expected to happen.

Nie Wenzhi gritted her teeth hatefully.

But she did not dare to take any more rash actions. If she did, she would easily risk exposing herself. But the confidence Song Zhizhi had just displayed made her anxious. When had Song Zhizhi become like this?!

Song Zhizhi was currently giving Ji Baijian a call from inside the car. A cold voice answered indifferently. “Miss Song. How can I help you?”

Such an aloof tone. Song Zhizhi simply knew that he was doing it on purpose. She said, “Are you home? I’ll come look for you.”

“Right now, shouldn’t you be basking in the joy of being proposed to, Miss Song? You still remember little ol’ me? Could it be that you wish to deliver your wedding invitation in person? Should I be honored?” His flat tone carried a hint of sarcasm, but the voice somehow still sounded so damn good.

Song Zhizhi gritted her teeth, “Where the hell are you?!”

“The Black Five Club. If Miss Song wishes to come over here, then by all means do so.” After saying that, he hung up the phone.

That useless degenerate, fooling around in a club in daytime..
