Chapter 169: A Common Enemy

Chapter 169: A Common Enemy

Fang Fei walked out the door and saw a beggar standing outside, dressed in tattered clothes with messy, dirty hair.

She looked at her with disdain.

What are the security guards doing? How did someone like this get into the neighborhood?

"Do you want money? I don't have time for this nonsense. Here's ten bucks, take it and leave my house immediately, or don't blame me for being rude!"

Fang Fei threw the ten bucks on the ground, but the beggar, whose face was too grimy to make out, suddenly looked up and accurately called out her name.

"Fang Fei!"

"You've been snooping around about me? Alright, here's another ten bucks!"

Just as Fang Fei opened her wallet, the woman suddenly lunged forward like a lunatic, grabbing her hand.

"What are you doing!"

Fang Fei nearly screamed.

She quickly yanked her hand away, feeling as if she had been tainted by the dirt.

"Auntie Li, get rid of her! She's gross!"

"Fang Fei, it's me!"

"You dare act like you know me? Auntie Li, get her out of here!"

As Fang Fei was about to leave, the "beggar" lifted her head, revealing a completely plain face, and said anxiously, "Fang Fei, don't go! It's me! I... I'm Fu Yining!"

Hearing this name, Fang Fei turned around sharply.

"Ha, you dare bring up that name? If you're going to lie, at least make it believable!"

After all, Fang Fei hated her more than almost anyone else.

If Fu Yining hadn't cut ties with her out of the blue, she wouldn't have ended up in this situation.

How could this filthy, stinking beggar claim to be Fu Yining?

Gross!

Fang Fei felt that even speaking to this beggar was beneath her. She ordered Auntie Li to grab a broom and get rid of this person right away.

The woman suddenly burst with incredible strength, grabbing the broom and Auntie Li who was holding it, pushing them aside, and then lunging forward to grab Fang Fei.

"Fang Fei, it's really me, Fu Yining! Just listen!"

"Get your filthy hands off me! Don't you dare touch me!"

Fang Fei caught a whiff of the sour stench coming from the woman's unwashed body and almost passed out from the stench.

The woman had gone through so much to get into this neighborhood and find Fang Fei, and she wasn't about to let her leave without achieving her goal.

"Fang Fei, listen to me! Remember last May when your husband was flirting with a female secretary, and you injured her? I was the one who helped you settle that!"

Fang Fei's expression changed.

"How do you know about this?"

At that time, she was in a bit of a financial bind, so she asked Fu Yining to help find someone to teach that secretary a lesson in a secluded room. The secretary, knowing she was at fault, quietly resigned and left.

She hadn't told anyone about this, and even now, Zheng Yongming hasn't suspected her.

How could a beggar know about it?

Fang Fei told Aunt Li to leave first, but she didn't want the beggar stepping into her home and tainting the atmosphere, so she stood at the door and talked to her.

"What else do you know? Tell me."

The disheveled woman released her grip and gradually disclosed the secrets they shared.

As Fang Fei listened, she couldn't help but doubt her identity, suspecting that she was sent by Fu Yining specifically to disgust her.

But the woman spoke so sincerely, without any hint of rehearsing, as if those things truly existed in her memory.

Moreover, the woman's diction, expressions, and gaze... bore a striking resemblance to the person she knew.

"Are you really Fu Yining?"

No matter how much Fang Fei disliked her, she had been in contact with Fu Yining for twenty years and was very familiar with her behavior.

The woman nodded emphatically.

"It's me!"

"But your face... how did you end up like this? Who is that Fu Yining then?"

The woman's eyes revealed hatred as she sneered, "She's a devil, a devil who took over my body!"

"What do you mean?"

Fang Fei's curiosity was piqued, and she was eager to hear more.

The woman said that she had switched bodies with a powerful devil. The devil took over her identity and status, living in wealth and luxury, while she was cast out to wander and suffer.

"Fang Fei, have you seen her? You've seen how different she is now, haven't you?"

"That's true, but..."

Fang Fei scoffed and pointedly asked, "But why don't you go to Yu ZhiLi for help? Isn't he your husband?"

The woman's cheeks turned red, fortunately hidden by her messy hair.

"I can't locate him."

Whether it's Shanhai Bay or the Qigui Group, given her current unclear identity, she would be turned away no matter what she said.

Moreover, Yu ZhiLi never cared for her before, and she doesn't even know his whereabouts.

"I considered seeking out my son Ming Ze, but I waited outside his company for several days and didn't see him."

"Ming Ze appears to have moved to the headquarters. How could you possibly find him there?"

"Is that right?"

The woman genuinely didn't know about this.

"An Ran, right, where is An Ran? I remember she returned to the country. She must be with Ming Ze now, right?"

Fang Fei's expression turned icy when she heard her mention her daughter.

"How dare you bring up An Ran? If it weren’t for Ming Ze, my An Ran wouldn’t have married a disabled man!"

The woman was taken aback.

"How could that be? Ming Ze is a good boy! What exactly happened?"

Fang Fei snapped, "Why don’t you ask your precious son what he’s done?"

The woman became anxious and nervously asked, "What about Song Qingyu? That woman wouldn’t still be clinging to my son, would she?"

"Well, they’re already divorced..."

"Oh, that’s good!"

"But she’s already had Yu Mingze’s child, and that child is... the heir to the Qigui Group!"

Fang Fei’s heart ached at the thought.

That honor should have been theirs!

"How is that possible?"

The woman also found it unbelievable.

When did Song Qingyu become pregnant? Ming Ze clearly adored An Ran—how could he have left her?

After thinking for a moment, she gritted her teeth and said, "It’s her, that demon who possessed me! She must have manipulated my son, turned him against me!"

It must be that person who came back!

This useless system—how could she return? They were almost done with the mission!

The woman took several deep breaths to suppress the anger in her heart.

She clutched Fang Fei’s arm and begged, "Fang Fei, you have to help me—we can’t wait any longer. Once I explain everything to Ming Ze, I will definitely compensate you!"

Fang Fei glared at her, thinking, ‘So now she’s begging me?’

"How do you want me to help you?"

"Just let me see Ming Ze. If I can talk to him, I’ll convince him!"

"That might be a bit difficult, but it’s not impossible. How about this, you come in and take a bath first, and we’ll figure it out slowly."

Fang Fei smiled, but her eyes were as cold as a serpent’s.

She hoped the woman standing in front of her would really be useful; she couldn’t wait to see the drama unfold.
