She kept her marriage a secret for three years, then divorced and was forcefully pampered by a power

Shao Yan paused slightly in the hand holding the cup.

It seems that not only Huo Xiao knew her identity from the beginning, but Huo Qingyue did as well.

She initially thought that Huo Xiao had told Huo Qingyue about this, but Huo Qingyue's attitude didn't seem to confirm it.

As expected, none of the Huo family members are easy to deal with.

Shao Yan smiled faintly as she thought of Meng Yu kneeling outside.

Shao Yan thought that Meng Yu had treated her badly in the past because he really didn't like her.

But now it seems that he also likes Zeng Qier and Pei Rongrong, it's just that who stays by his side depends on who is more valuable.

So what feelings could she possibly have for this man? Huo Qingyue's words, "Mrs. Meng," felt extremely ironic to her, because she had never been one.

If she ever did, it was a title she gave herself; no one acknowledged it.

"Meng Yu and I are not married. We don't even have a marriage certificate, so what's with this talk of 'Mrs. Meng'?"

Shao Yan's face remained calm, and she showed no emotion as she spoke.

Shao Yan looked at the tea she held in her heart, her thoughts momentarily sinking into a slump, but she quickly recovered.

"Big sister, I didn't come here today to discuss your son-in-law. I'm talking about something related to Ah Xiao."

Huo Qingyue put down her cup. Shao Yan was a smart person; she knew that she didn't need to keep reminding her.

"I was also talking about Ah Xiao. He and Mr. Qu are father and son. What do I have to worry about?"

Shao Yan's eyes widened in surprise for a moment; she never expected to receive this answer from Huo Qingyue.

However, the family environment in high society is complicated, and only he himself knows what he does behind the scenes, given his status.

However, no matter what, it still sounded ridiculous to Shao Yan.

Huo Qingyue looked at Shao Yan coldly.

"Sister-in-law, are you satisfied with this answer? If there's nothing else, please go back. I still have some things to take care of at home. I apologize for not being able to entertain you properly. We'll have a family meal together next time Ah Xiao comes back."

Shao Yan was still processing Huo Qingyue's words.

Huo Qingyue was indeed too busy to attend to her right now, and it was no wonder she was upset. Shao Yan immediately stood up.

The maid saw her off, while outside the door, Meng Yu was still kneeling, but he didn't look at Shao Yan. Naturally, Shao Yan didn't look at him either. She got into the car and drove away.

Shao Yan sat in the back seat, holding her phone. She didn't do anything else but take a picture of Meng Yu kneeling at the gate and then anonymously sent it to a number she knew.

"Mrs. Meng, your son is kneeling at your future daughter-in-law's door. The weather forecast says it will get very cold today, with freezing temperatures and snow. If you don't come soon, he might kneel to death."

After sending the message, she smiled seductively, but after a while, her beautiful face gradually turned cold.

The fact that Huo Xiao and Qu Ao are actually father and son is utterly ridiculous.

Shao Yan's message was quickly received by Zhou Fang. She was furious when she saw the photo. Meng Guo'er, who was standing next to her, originally had a very good impression of Pei Rongrong.

But seeing Meng Yu kneeling so humbly at her doorstep, the arrogance of a rich heiress surged up within her instantly.

"Mom, has my eldest brother gone mad? What kind of status does our Meng family have? No matter what, my eldest brother has made our Meng Group the second largest in Beicheng. How can he kneel down to Pei Rongrong?"

What is the Pei family anyway? Back then, Shao Yan was also known as the daughter of the Shao family. After marrying into our family, she still ended up being our slave.

"Once Pei Rongrong marries into the Meng family, she should listen to us. How dare she make our eldest brother kneel before her? If word gets out, where will our Meng family's reputation be?"

Meng Guo'er kept making a fuss in Zhou Fang's ear, and Zhou Fang was furious.

"Tell Lao Zhou to get the car ready. You're coming with me to the Pei family to bring your brother back. Don't embarrass yourself there."

"She's just a woman. What kind of daughter-in-law can't our Meng family find? If Pei Rongrong doesn't want to get married, then she shouldn't."

Meng Guo'er was eager to agree and immediately said, "I'll go and call Uncle Zhou right now."

Zhou Fang and Meng Guo'er rushed to the Pei family in a huff and saw Meng Yu still kneeling at the gate. She was so angry that she almost fainted. She rushed forward and pulled Meng Yu up.

"Are you out of your mind? Kneeling in front of their house for a woman like this? Look at all the people coming and going here. If word gets out tomorrow, how will our Meng family ever face anyone again?"

Meng Yu was stunned, wondering how Zhou Fang knew about this.

"What are you and Mom doing here? Take Mom back right now."

Meng Guo'er completely ignored Meng Yu. Seeing Meng Yu kneeling on the ground, she was furious and felt that she had lost all face.

"Big brother, what are you doing? Mom and I are here to take you back. What are you doing kneeling in the Pei family?"

The Pei family is no match for our Meng family; they should be begging us to marry into our family.

When Zeng Qier brought Wenwen home to play, she said that she never wanted to ruin your relationship with Pei Rongrong, nor did she intend to marry into our family. She just wanted Wenwen to have a biological father.

Brother, just based on this point alone, Zeng Qi'er is far superior to Pei Rongrong. Besides, we all know that. Zeng Qi'er is Uncle Song's biological daughter.

"Now the Song family is at least third in Beicheng. What is the Pei family anyway? They value their daughter so much; do they really think they're something special?"

Meng Guo'er was arrogant and domineering. When she first met Pei Rongrong, she thought she was a pretty good person.

She's young and eloquent, with a mouth that's as sweet as honey.

Meng Guo'er had gone shopping with Pei Rongrong a few times. Pei Rongrong was stingy with her, and even took several things from her. Meng Guo'er was Pei Rongrong's future sister-in-law.

Pei Rongrong's actions infuriated Meng Guo'er to the point of being crooked. Compared to Zeng Qi'er, Pei Rongrong's behavior was simply beneath her notice.

She never dared to let Meng Yu know how many things Zeng Qi'er had given her.

Moreover, Zeng Qizuo respected both his mother and himself very much.

I used to call them often to buy them gifts when I was away from Guo'er. What does Pei Rongrong have to offer?

She's just a pretty face, all talk and no action, and doesn't really know anything. She might even be eyeing the Pei family's wealth.

Even before Meng Yu was kneeling outside, Pei Rongrong had already been threatened by her mother, and her mind was in turmoil.

She was about to go out and pretend to forgive Meng Yu when she overheard Meng Guo'er and Zhou Fang's conversation. At that moment, Pei Rongrong was furious.

"Meng Yu is your precious son, you can take him back. He made our Pei family lose face so badly at the engagement banquet, and you still have the nerve to come and provoke me."

"Anyone who wants to come into the Meng family's house can come in. I'm not playing along. Take Meng Yu away; don't make a fool of yourself in front of my house."
