Chapter 751

Feng Jialing had no idea Ouyang Li would come to her that soon. Moreover, the latter looked more agitated than she was during their previous encounter.

“Mom, can you please keep Ouyang Qing in check? She was in the wrong but she had the audacity to act like a crazy woman. Now, she is trying to get me involved, too. How despicable can she be?” Ouyang Li hollered angrily, losing her composure.

Deep down, Feng Jialing let out an exasperated sigh. It's no wonder I favor my younger daughter. Look, my eldest daughter isn't graceful at all. She might've changed her style recently to look more fashionable, but nothing can change the fact that she's an uncultured woman.

“What's wrong with you? Why can't you be civil instead of yelling like a maniac? Didn't Ouyang Qi take the blame for you when you attacked Nan Chen? What else do you want now?” Feng Jialing snapped with her brows furrowed together.

Feng Jialing was infuriated upon hearing that. “What do you mean he took the blame for me? It wasn't me who assaulted Nan Chen! Someone else framed me! Perhaps it was Ouyang Qi who conspired against me. He made me get into trouble, so he could seize the opportunity to take the blame for me, getting a chance to work in the company again!”

Feng Jialing shook her head in disbelief. “He came to your rescue, and yet you are so ungrateful? You should be grateful for his help. Otherwise, no one would want to come to your aid next time you are in trouble!”

“You favor them over me! The useless Ouyang Qing who you brought up is now trying to take me down in jail. Will you stop her or not?”

“What about Qing? She's in jail. How can she take you down?”

“She retracted her testimony in jail. Claiming to be innocent, she said someone else had instructed her to act that way. The police are now taking the necessary steps to reopen the case and launch a new investigation.”

“How is that related to you?” Feng Jialing was confused.

“Of course it is related to me! She claimed I was the one who instructed her to carry out the evil deeds! How could she accuse me falsely? When she and Dad were fighting against the Nan family in Flower City, I was working hard in Pearl City. I had no idea what happened over there, let alone participate in their plan. You know that well, right? Now, she's trying to involve me in that matter. What a wicked woman!”

Ouyang Li's anger grew as she spoke. In a fit of rage, she threw a cup across the room, causing it to shatter into pieces.

Feng Jialing remained doubtful. “Did Qing really do that?”

“Why would I lie? The police came to me to ask me to cooperate with their investigation! Those b*stards from the board of directors took the chance to claim that I was involved in a criminal case and asked me to step down as the acting CEO in accordance with company policy. They are trying to take my power away from me! Go to Ouyang Qing immediately and tell her to retract her false statement and cease her accusations against me!” Ouyang Li roared.

Feng Jialing still refused to believe her words. “That doesn't sound right. Why would Qing do that?”

“Why would she do that? She hates seeing me leading a great life, of course! She ended up in jail after her plan failed, and now she's trying to take me down. Stop talking nonsense and go visit her now. Tell her to retract her testimony so the police would stop investigating me,” Ouyang Li demanded.

Feng Jialing said nothing.

She had been married to Ouyang Duo as the chairman's wife for years. As smart as she was, it didn't take her long to realize that it was a conspiracy.

Someone was plotting against the Ouyang family to create internal strife within the family.

The fact that Ouyang Qing was involved despite being imprisoned suggested that the mastermind behind the scheme was powerful.

“If you can't be the acting CEO, who will take over your place?” Feng Jialing asked.

Her words merely served to increase Ouyang Li's fury. “You don't want me to be the acting CEO, too, right? Are you thinking of taking over? Can you do it?”

Feng Jialing gazed at her eldest daughter, who felt like a stranger to her. As fury ran through her veins, she asked in a quivering voice, “What gave you that idea? Have I ever competed against you? You're my child. Why would I do that?”

“Have you ever thought of me as your daughter? You've always preferred Ouyang Qing over me. Are you behind this? Did you instruct her to falsely accuse me?”

“No, I didn't!” Feng Jialing's eyes turned red in fury.

“I don't believe you. Go to Ouyang Qing now and tell her to stop incriminating me. Do it now!”

“But I don't want to go to that place—”

Ouyang Li cut her short, screaming, “You don't have a choice! I'll give you a ride there!”

Under Ouyang Li's insistence, Feng Jialing had no choice but to head the prison.

Unfortunately, she was unable to see Ouyang Qing as each prisoner is only allowed a certain number of visits. Ouyang Qing had already reached her limit for the month, so no one was allowed to see her.

Ouyang Li's anger reached a boiling point. She hit the steering wheel with her fist and shouted, “This is a conspiracy! We can't even visit Ouyang Qing in person. I will not resign from my job! You need to find a solution. Go to the board of directors and forbid them from making me quit! They've known you for years. They'll listen to you.”
