"To what extent do you control Su Ran now?"
Before Su Mianmian spoke about the plan, she suddenly thought of this question and looked at Wu Yao with a puzzled expression, asking.
Wu Yao thought for a moment, then said with certainty, "About eighty percent."
Su Mianmian hadn't expected Wu Yao to be so capable; she was starting to look at him in a new light.
She gave him an admiring look, paused, and then laid out her initial plan.
"Tomorrow, they will definitely have dinner together."
"You need to have Su Ran tell Su Lie about you tomorrow."
Su Mianmian said with a serious expression.
Wu Yao listened, a slight hint of confusion on his face.
"Although Su Ran has agreed to be my inside person, if I ask her to do this, she probably won't agree."
"After all, if she exposes me, her identity as not being Su Lie's daughter would also likely be exposed."
Wu Yao shook his head, looking troubled.
He felt this matter was a bit difficult; even if Su Ran wasn't very smart, she probably wouldn't help him with something like this.
Her agreeing to work with him now was only because he had brainwashed her, making her believe that Li Mei was just using her, which made her willing to cooperate in bringing down Li Mei.
If he asked Su Ran to do something like this, she might even think he was also trying to harm her.
That would be troublesome then.
Thinking of this, Wu Yao felt this method would be difficult to implement.
"No, you just tell her directly that you won't admit to being her biological father."
"Not only that, but you'll also point out that her younger brother is your biological son."
"Su Ran is very foolish; if you say that, she will definitely believe you and even be happy to do it."
"You should know, she doesn't like her biological younger brother at all."
"And Li Mei probably hasn't told Su Ran that he isn't Su Lie's child, so she'll think this is just a case of a 'weasel for a prince'."
"She won't be able to refuse."
Su Mianmian wasn't just casually suggesting this opportunity; she had analyzed it many times before.
If she hadn't ensured the plan was feasible, she wouldn't have said it.
This time, Wu Yao thought seriously for a moment, and finally nodded with a smile, agreeing.
"I didn't think clearly just now, but after your explanation, I think Su Ran will definitely believe us and follow our plan."
"After she tells him, will it be my turn to appear?"
Wu Yao looked at Su Mianmian with a puzzled expression, asking.
Su Mianmian nodded, a smile on her face, and said, "Next, you'll suddenly appear and reveal the truth.
Once Su Lie is isolated and has dealt with Li Mei and them, we'll go out and take our revenge."
She finished speaking and looked at Su Jinxuan, as if asking him what he thought of the idea.
Su Jinxuan nodded at her with certainty, indicating that her idea was very good and he fully agreed.
Su Mianmian breathed a sigh of relief. She turned her head to look at Shi Xu and, seeing that he didn't say a word, she was a little curious.
Shi Xu didn't say anything, only giving her a look that indicated she should decide the matter.
Su Mianmian nodded, showing she understood.
She continued to discuss some small details with Wu Yao, and then he left with a smile, preparing to find Su Ran.
After Su Mianmian saw him off, she couldn't help but smile.
"Mianmian, what are you laughing at?"
Su Jinxuan was deep in thought. He was about to ask Su Mianmian a question when he looked up and saw her smiling.
He was momentarily confused.
Su Mianmian smiled at him and casually said, "Of course I'm laughing because things can be resolved tomorrow!"
Otherwise, what else would she be laughing at?
Su Mianmian ignored him and went to find Shi Xu, preparing to ask him for a favor.
When Shi Xu heard her request, a hint of displeasure flashed across his face.
"Mianmian, don't ever say 'request' me again. Between you and me, there's never a need for that word."
"Do you understand?"
Shi Xu looked at Su Mianmian with a serious expression, his tone stern.
Su Mianmian hadn't expected Shi Xu to be so particular. She couldn't help but give him an ingratiating smile, nodded, and quickly said, "Alright, alright, I won't dare to say that again. I'm asking you to help me with something, do you have time?"
Su Mianmian used a different word. She didn't believe Shi Xu could still find anything wrong with her phrasing.
She decided that it would be better to be more assertive when dealing with Shi Xu from now on.
Thinking of this, Su Mianmian suddenly felt a sense of taking charge.
A slight smile played on her lips, revealing an expression that was hard to decipher.
Shi Xu didn't pay much attention; he knew she always liked to think about all sorts of random things.
"What is it?"
Shi Xu asked curiously.
Su Mianmian rarely asked him to do things for her, so her sudden request made him feel quite flattered.
"It's nothing major. I just want you to help me put this packet of powder into Li Mei and their room."
"My brother has other things to attend to, so I can only ask... call upon you."
Su Mianmian almost said "ask for your help" again. Seeing Shi Xu's warning gaze, she quickly swallowed the rest of the words and used a different phrase.
Shi Xu was really too particular, she was scared... Shi Xu paused, then realized the 'medicine' she mentioned was probably the new potion she had developed that could make people fall into an illusion.
He nodded and agreed.
Seeing him agree, Su Mianmian immediately took the potion out of her space and handed it to him.
"Shi Xu, you only need to spray a little in their room, not too much."
Su Mianmian saw Shi Xu take it and start to leave. She grabbed his clothes and reminded him.
Shi Xu nodded and left quickly.
After he left, Su Mianmian couldn't help but jump up, her joy uncontainable.
Su Lie hadn't returned to Li Mei's side during this period, and he probably wouldn't return tonight either.
This potion was for Li Mei to enjoy alone.
Su Mianmian was looking forward to the surprise it would bring her.
By the time Shi Xu returned, several hours had passed since he left.
Seeing him return so late, Su Mianmian was a little worried.
"Shi Xu, did things not go very smoothly?"
"Why are you back so late?"
Su Mianmian looked at Shi Xu with a worried expression, her eyes scanning him up and down.
Seeing Su Mianmian looking at him with such concern, Shi Xu's heart softened involuntarily.
"I'm fine, it's just that when I went over, Su Lie and Li Mei were doing inappropriate things in the room, so I waited for a while. As soon as Su Lie left, I sprayed the medicine in while Li Mei was sleeping."
"How long will the effect last?"
Shi Xu looked at Su Mianmian with a puzzled and curious expression.
Su Mianmian hadn't expected Shi Xu to have such a terrible experience, encountering them in such a way. She looked at him with a pitiable expression, and hearing his question, she didn't even have time to compose her face.
Shi Xu saw the expression on her face and couldn't help but smile.
"Don't worry, I have no desire to eavesdrop on them."
"I cultivated my ability there for several hours."
"It can be considered a bit of a gain."
Shi Xu reached out and ruffled Su Mianmian's hair, a smile on his face.
He didn't need any pity right now, so Su Mianmian didn't need to pity him at all.
Shi Xu looked at her with a smile, indicating that he didn't need any pity whatsoever.
Seeing this, Su Mianmian put away the pitiful expression on her face.
Since Shi Xu didn't need it, she wouldn't give it.
Su Mianmian looked at Shi Xu with a helpless expression and answered the question he had just asked her.
"It will take effect tomorrow night."
"I developed several bottles, and each one takes effect at a different time."
"Hers is the third to last night's."
Su Mianmian looked at Shi Xu triumphantly, raising her head and saying excitedly.
Shi Xu didn't know what to say; he felt Su Mianmian always liked to research these kinds of things.
However, finding something to do was also good, and he didn't have too many demands.
He only hoped that she could be happy.
The next day quickly arrived. Wu Yao came to find Su Mianmian and reported on the situation.
Su Ran had already agreed to help, still very much believing the promises Wu Yao had made to her.
This afternoon, Su Lie would return to have a reunion dinner with them, and at that time, she would expose Li Mei and Wu Yao's affair.
Upon hearing this news, Su Mianmian broke into a wide smile.
Although she had known Su Ran would agree, hearing Wu Yao say it now still made the large stone in her heart finally drop.
"Wu Yao, you need to be careful. Su Lie always likes to play the pig to eat the tiger. If he targets you and you're unprepared, you could easily get hurt by him."
"I hope that when you go, your vigilance will be at the highest level."
Su Mianmian stared at Wu Yao with a serious expression, speaking sternly.
Wu Yao nodded, indicating that he understood.
