Chapter 525 - Dare to Offend the Empress (3)
Tang Moyu was willing to work hard and protect her relationship with her husband, but it didn't mean she was willing to turn a blind eye on those people who dared to touch her bottom line, and Feng Tianyi was now included in the list.
At first, she only had a few people to care about, but now that she had come to love Feng Tianyi and had somehow broadened her circle through him by meeting his friends and loved ones, Tang Moyu knew that she would need a lot of patience and would need to compromise for their sake.
But seducing her husband and making her daughter cry… Heh, this empress would remind Liu Ruoyan that the world didn't solely revolve around her. So what if she was Feng Tianyi's ex-girlfriend, she, Tang Moyu, was now his wife.
If Tang Moyu easily let this Liu Ruoyan away without teaching her a lesson, then what's the point of her being the devil's wife?
Because Tang Moyu knew that her husband had somewhat 'softened' and wasn't the same ruthless man that he was before, she knew that Feng Tianyi was having reservations in reminding Liu Ruoyan of her place.
Too bad that this empress didn't. Didn't people use to say that a woman's heart could be vicious and dangerous? Tang Moyu wouldn't give Liu Ruoyan or any other woman a chance to get between her and her husband!
"Didn't you say you want to open a new branch of Black Nightingale in Beijing? I'll fund your next branch, but in return, I want you to do something for me." Tang Moyu told her best friend. She and Li Meili had known each other for the longest time and it was impossible for the latter not to know from the tone of the empress's voice that someone just stupidly offended her.
"Ohh… sounds like a plan! What do you want in return then?" Li Meili asked excitedly. She hadn't had enough fun these days and was looking forward to what the empress was planning.
"Destroy Golden Elegance for me." Tang Moyu crossed her legs and leaned casually on her seat as she continued to read the articles about the popular designer named Liu Ruoyan.
Like Li Meili, Liu Ruoyan had several boutiques around the country that catered only to people in the upper circle. Liu Ruoyan had several businesses on her own that weren't part of the Liu family. This was why the Liu family was also lenient on disciplining her, allowing her to do whatever she wanted.
The Black Nightingale let out a low whistle. Oh, wasn't Golden Elegance owned by Liu Ruoyan? That arrogant little girl who dared to mock Black Nightingale's designs for being outdated?
Heh, no wonder Tang Moyu sought her help this time. Li Meili was super curious as to what that stupid woman did to offend the empress.
"Liu Ruoyan offended you? How?"
"By merely breathing the same air as my husband's and forcing Little Star to eat her favorite Mr. Rabbit's meat tonight." Tang Moyu said without batting an eyelid.
Li Meili burst into a round of laughter upon hearing that. Of all the people Liu Ruoyan would dare to offend, why would it be the empress and her little buns, especially Little Star? No wonder the empress was willing to throw a hefty amount of money for another investment. To think that Liu Ruoyan was stupid enough to poke on Tang Moyu, how unfortunate.
She listened as Tang Moyu narrated what happened earlier and what the twins told her over the phone while Feng Tianyi wasn't around. Li Meili was also surprised that the little buns were able to trap Liu Ruoyan on their own.
If Liu Ruoyan didn't offend the empress, there was no reason for Tang Moyu to target her. Indeed, Tang Moyu told Feng Tianyi that she wouldn't be petty to start a catfight with Liu Ruoyan, but that didn't mean she didn't have other methods to spite the woman.
Feng Tianyi didn't need to know that his wife was scheming behind his back against one of his exes. Anyway, based on his personality, Tang Moyu didn't perceive him as someone who'll pry on women's vanity.
"So Meili, what do you think?" Tang Moyu asked her.
"Hmm…" Li Meili cupped her chin and gave it a good thought. It's been a while since she and Tang Moyu had fun together, and given that she had an unsettled business with Liu Ruoyan, she didn't mind helping the empress with her plan while gaining profit from it at the same time.
"Sure, but how am I supposed to destroy Golden Elegance? I cannot stay in Beijing. You know this." She asked Tang Moyu.
Although both clothing lines served the same market niche, The Black Nightingale and Golden Elegance hadn't been actively competing with each other, regardless of the snide remarks Liu Ruoyan made against Li Meili's business once in a while.
However, that didn't mean Li Meili was willing to let Liu Ruoyan off the hook. She was just waiting for the right time to strike against Golden Elegance and now Tang Moyu was giving her the chance to do it.
A sinister smile crossed Li Meili's lips. Liu Ruoyan could only blame herself for the demise she was about to face. She chuckled to herself, looking forward to seeing the woman's shock once she found out who was behind this intricate plot against her.
"There's no need to worry about that, Meili. I've just received a call from Elaine last night, asking me for a favor." Tang Moyu answered her.
Li Meili didn't understand. What does Elaine had to do with their plan?
"Elaine? Is she coming back?" She asked.
It's been months since they saw Elaine and they had only communicated with her through video calls once in a while.
"Yes. She asked me if she could join Xiao Xing to get trained by me, but Tianyi said all of the managerial positions at Xiao Xing have already been taken."
