Chu Mengmeng did not tell anyone about the notebook, including Xiao Yichen. She had a hunch that the appearance of this diary might disrupt their current peaceful life, and she did not want Xiao Yichen to worry about her.

However, once the gears of fate start turning, it is not so easy to stop.

On this day, a grand banquet was held in the city, and celebrities from all walks of life were invited to attend. Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen, as the city's influential figures, were naturally among the invited guests.

The banquet hall was bustling with people drinking and chatting. Chu Mengmeng was wearing a lavender dress, with her long black hair tied into a simple bun, and a few strands of hair hanging by her ears, looking elegant and refined. She held a glass of champagne and stood with Xiao Yichen, accepting the greetings and greetings from the people around them.

"Mrs. Xiao is getting more and more beautiful. No wonder Mr. Xiao is so fond of her." A noble lady said with a smile, with a hint of barely perceptible jealousy in her eyes.

"Yes, Mrs. Xiao was known for being willful and capricious. I didn't expect that after marrying Mr. Xiao, she would become so gentle and virtuous." Another noble lady also echoed.

Chu Mengmeng smiled slightly and said nothing. She knew that these ladies were praising her on the surface, but in fact they were secretly mocking her past actions.

At this time, a sarcastic voice interrupted: "Some people are just good at pretending. They are still the same as they were before, but they are just wearing a cloak of hypocrisy."

The one who spoke was Aunt Zhao. She was wearing a bright red dress and heavy makeup on her face, which made her look a little vulgar. She walked up to Chu Mengmeng and said in a sarcastic tone, "Am I right, Mengmeng?"

The smile on Chu Mengmeng's face faded a little. She glanced at Aunt Zhao and said, "Aunt Zhao, you are joking. Everyone knows what kind of person I am. Aunt Zhao, on the other hand, is so outspoken at such an old age, and she is not afraid of being laughed at."

Aunt Zhao's face turned pale and blue because of her scolding. She was about to lose her temper but was stopped by Chu Yunyao beside her.

Chu Yunyao wore a white lace dress today and put on delicate light makeup, which made her look very pitiful. She gently tugged at Aunt Zhao's sleeve and said softly, "Aunt, today is a good day, so please say less."

Aunt Zhao snorted coldly and said nothing more.

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen ignored them and turned away.

However, Aunt Zhao and Chu Yunyao did not intend to let Chu Mengmeng go. After the banquet, Chu Yunyao posted an intriguing post on social media: "Some people, on the surface, look glamorous, but in the background, they do so many shameful things. It really fits the saying that you can only know a person's face but not his heart!"

As soon as this dynamic was released, it immediately caused an uproar. Netizens speculated who Chu Yunyao was talking about, and various speculations and discussions emerged in the comment area.

When Chu Mengmeng saw this update, her face instantly turned gloomy. She knew that Aunt Zhao and Chu Yunyao were deliberately smearing her and trying to ruin her reputation.

Chu Mengmeng held the phone tightly, her knuckles turning white. She knew that silence would only make the rumors more intense and make those who cared about her more worried. Taking a deep breath, Chu Mengmeng opened the live broadcast software.

The moment the live broadcast room screen lit up, a large number of viewers poured in. The comments were flying like snowflakes, mixed with all kinds of doubts, insults and concerns. Chu Mengmeng did not avoid it, she looked directly at the camera with a firm look.

"I know everyone has a lot of questions, so I'm here today to talk to you all candidly." Chu Mengmeng's voice was calm and powerful. "I admit that I was indeed willful and reckless in the past and did a lot of wrong things. However, people grow up and change. After marrying Yi Chen, he taught me a lot, and I have been working hard to become a better person."

She paused, her eyes swept across the rapidly scrolling comments on the screen, and continued, "As for the rumors about me, I don't want to explain too much. The innocent will be innocent. I thank those who have always believed in me and supported me. Your encouragement is my motivation to move forward."

Chu Mengmeng's honesty touched many people, and the tone of the comments began to change. More and more netizens expressed their belief in her and encouraged her to face it bravely.

At this moment, Xiao Yichen appeared in the live broadcast room. He walked to Chu Mengmeng and gently held her hand, his eyes gentle and firm.

"What Mengmeng said is true. I believe her." Xiao Yichen's voice was steady and powerful. "The past is the past. We should all look forward. I will never let go of those who try to hurt Mengmeng!"

The appearance of Xiao Yichen was undoubtedly a bombshell, and the popularity of the live broadcast room soared instantly. His sincerity and determination made more people believe in Chu Mengmeng's innocence.

After the live broadcast ended, topics such as Chu Mengmeng's response to rumors and Xiao Yichen's support for Chu Mengmeng quickly became hot searches, sparking heated discussions among netizens.

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen's joint response temporarily calmed the storm. However, Aunt Zhao and Chu Yunyao did not give up. They hid in the dark, watching the two people in love in the live broadcast room, their eyes full of resentment.

"I will never let her have an easy life!" Aunt Zhao gnashed her teeth and said, "I will make her lose her reputation and live a life worse than death!"

"Don't worry, auntie, I've already made arrangements." Chu Yunyao's lips curled up into a sinister smile, "Soon, she will pay the price for her actions!"

As night falls and the lights come on, the city is plunged into a hustle and bustle. However, behind this prosperity, an undercurrent is quietly surging, and a conspiracy against Chu Mengmeng is brewing...

Aunt Zhao and Chu Yunyao returned to the dark corner. The cheap apartment they rented was filled with a musty smell, which was in sharp contrast to the magnificent villa of the Chu family. This exacerbated their inner distortion and resentment.

"Damn Chu Mengmeng, why can she get everything!" Aunt Zhao smashed the teacup in her hand fiercely. The cheap teacup broke into pieces and the fragments splashed all over the floor, just like her mood at the moment.

Chu Yunyao's eyes flashed with a vicious light. She stroked her fingers with bright red nails and said coldly, "Aunt, we can't let her be so proud. We have to teach her a lesson!"

Aunt Zhao's eyelids twitched, and she asked tentatively: "What...what do you want to do?"

"I have found a group of people. As long as the price is right, they are willing to do anything." Chu Yunyao leaned close to Aunt Zhao's ear and whispered her plan.

After hearing this, Aunt Zhao looked a little hesitant: "Is this... too dangerous?"

"What are you afraid of? As long as we don't show up, who would suspect us?" Chu Yunyao's eyes flashed with ruthlessness, "Doesn't Chu Mengmeng like to run around? Let's find the right opportunity and teach her a lesson!"

Aunt Zhao was finally persuaded, and the two hit it off and began to plot this vicious plan.

A few days later, Chu Mengmeng went out to visit her friends as usual. She did not bring a bodyguard because she felt that her life was now on track, the rumors had subsided, and no one would target her anymore.

However, Chu Mengmeng didn't know that danger was quietly approaching. When she passed through a secluded alley, several sturdy men suddenly rushed out from the corner and surrounded her.

Chu Mengmeng was stunned at first, then realized that the situation was not good. She tried to stay calm and called for help, but the men quickly covered her mouth and dragged her deep into the alley.

At this critical moment, a black car suddenly came speeding and stopped at the entrance of the alley with an emergency brake. The car door opened, Xiao Yichen and Su Mubai got out quickly, looking around sharply.

"Mengmeng!" Xiao Yichen saw the hostage Chu Mengmeng at a glance, and his eyes suddenly turned red and he was burning with anger.

"Who are you? Let her go!" Su Mubai calmly stood in front of Xiao Yichen and warned in a cold tone.

The men were obviously startled by this sudden change, but they reacted quickly. One of them said viciously, "If you don't want to die, get out of here and don't meddle in other people's business!"

However, before they finished speaking, Xiao Yichen and Su Mubai had already attacked at lightning speed. Both of them were martial artists with extraordinary skills, and they knocked the men to the ground in no time, making them wail non-stop.

After Chu Mengmeng was rescued, she was still in shock and her face was pale. Xiao Yichen hugged her in his arms and comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Su Mubai walked up to the men who were knocked to the ground and asked condescendingly, "Tell me, who sent you here?"

The men hesitated and refused to reveal the mastermind behind the incident. Su Mubai's eyes turned cold, and when he was about to interrogate them, one of them suddenly bit his tongue and committed suicide.

"Damn it!" Su Mubai cursed inwardly, knowing that these people were desperate criminals and had already prepared themselves to die.

This sudden attack made Chu Mengmeng realize that Aunt Zhao and Chu Yunyao had no intention of letting her go. Facing this malicious provocation, Chu Mengmeng decided not to passively take the beating anymore. She would take the initiative to expose the true colors of Aunt Zhao and Chu Yunyao...

Back at the Chu family villa, Chu Mengmeng curled up on the soft sofa, but her delicate little face was no longer as sweet as before. Xiao Yichen sat beside her, with an expression of worry between his brows: "Mengmeng, don't be afraid, I have asked Su Mubai to investigate this matter thoroughly, and will definitely bring the mastermind to justice."

Chu Mengmeng shook her head, a hint of coldness flashed across her clear eyes: "No need to check, I know who did it."

Xiao Yichen was stunned: "You know? Who is it?"

Chu Mengmeng took a deep breath and told Xiao Yichen about what happened when Aunt Zhao and Chu Yunyao appeared in the dessert shop that day.

"How dare they be so arrogant!" Xiao Yichen's face darkened and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.

"Achen, I don't want to sit here and wait for death anymore." Chu Mengmeng clenched her fists and said firmly, "I want them to pay the price for what they did!"

Xiao Yichen looked at the girl who seemed weak but was actually very strong, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. He held her hand and said firmly: "Okay, I support you! Whatever you want to do, I will be by your side."

Chu Mengmeng put on a sly smile, leaned close to Xiao Yichen's ear, and whispered her plan. After Xiao Yichen heard it, he smiled in appreciation and couldn't help but scratched her nose lightly: "You are so clever, this is a great idea!"

The next day, Chu Mengmeng deliberately acted panic-stricken in front of Aunt Zhao and Chu Yunyao, saying that she had a nightmare last night in which the people who attacked her came again and that they threatened to kill her.

Aunt Zhao and Chu Yunyao were fooled. They looked at each other with a hint of pride in their eyes. Chu Yunyao pretended to be concerned and asked, "Sister, don't be afraid. Those people have been caught and will not hurt you anymore."

"But I'm really scared..." Chu Mengmeng shrank and looked at them with tears in her eyes. "I heard that there is a mastermind behind those people. If we don't find out who is behind it, I'm worried that they will come back to retaliate..."

Aunt Zhao rolled her eyes and said quickly, "Don't worry, sister. We will protect you. How about this? We will live here recently and accompany you. This way you will feel at ease."

Chu Mengmeng sneered in her heart, but pretended to be grateful on the surface: "Thank you, auntie, thank you, sister, you are so kind to me!"

Aunt Zhao and Chu Yunyao thought their plan had succeeded, and they were secretly proud of themselves. Little did they know that they had already walked step by step into the trap set by Chu Mengmeng...
