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

Shao Yan had considered many possibilities, but she could not accept the way her mother died.

She raised her hand and slapped Zeng Qier several times, completely losing control. If Feng Ying hadn't stopped her, Zeng Qier would probably have been beaten to death.

"Mr. Shao, let's leave this to the police. She's been here for so long, Meng Yu will surely bring people. If we run into them, they might think we kidnapped her. That would be a huge problem."

Shao Yan's rationality was brought back by Feng Ying. Feng Ying was right. If Meng Yu brought the police, they would become the murderers who kidnapped Zeng Qi'er.

Zeng Qi'er had fainted from fright and beating, and now she knew nothing and thought she was dreaming.

When she wakes up tomorrow, she'll at most feel some pain on her face, but the marks will definitely be gone.

If she sees Shao Yan's face clearly, she'll turn around and bite them.

Shao Yan calmed down, and Feng Ying handed her a recording pen.

"Mr. Shao, it's all in here. With evidence of Zeng Qier's confession and a paternity test result between her and Song Qingyan, we can formally file a lawsuit."

Shao Yan's bloodshot eyes finally showed a bit of life. She took the recording pen from Feng Ying's hand and glanced coldly at Zeng Qi'er lying on the ground, without a trace of sympathy in her eyes.

When Zeng Qier woke up, there were people all around her. When Meng Yu arrived, Zeng Qier's hands and feet were still tied behind her back.

Upon seeing him, Zeng Qi'er nearly fainted from crying.

"Who tied you up?"

A night passed, and when Meng Yu arrived with the police, there was no one there except Zeng Qi'er.

Several unfamiliar footprints were left at the scene. They varied in size, but all seemed to have been carefully cleaned. Apart from the marks on Zeng Qier's wrists and ankles indicating that she had been tied up, she had no other injuries.

"Ah Yu, you've finally arrived."

Zeng Qi'er was so frightened by Shao Yan that she was completely out of her mind. After being rescued, she was still talking nonsense at first, but she calmed down a bit when she saw Meng Yu.

She rushed towards Meng Yu, but Meng Yu didn't dare to touch her.

This matter is once again making headlines. He still wants to coax Pei Rongrong back, but yesterday, because of Zeng Wen, he offended Pei Rongrong again in his haste, so he has to start all over again.

After waiting all night, expecting to see a bloody scene when they arrived at the warehouse, Meng Yu was surprised to find Zeng Qi'er perfectly fine, but instead his face turned cold.

For a moment, he secretly hoped that Zeng Qier would be killed, especially after hearing that Zeng Wen had been found and taken back by Zhou Fang, and that the kidnappers had only captured Shao Yan. Meng Yu's evil thoughts intensified.

"Ms. Zeng, let's talk about this at the police station. Mr. Meng filed the report; do you understand what happened?"

On the way back in the police car, Zeng Qi'er simply pretended to be stupid when questioned by the police. Of course, she dared not speak, otherwise, if Meng Yu knew that she had personally orchestrated a kidnapping case, Meng Yu would definitely not forgive her.

"I'll inform Dad—I mean Uncle Song—and have him go to the police station to be with you."

Meng Yu didn't dare to stay with Zeng Qi'er, but Zeng Qi'er was terrified and stared at Meng Yu pitifully.

"Ayu, don't tell my dad, can you stay with me?"

She was somewhat at a loss, and Meng Yu, not wanting to be in the headlines again, decisively refused.

"I have other things to do. If it's really not possible, I'll have Guo'er come."

That was all he could do, but Zeng Qi'er nodded frantically as if she had found a lifeline.

When Meng Yu asked Zeng Qier if Pei Rongrong was responsible, he saw her shifty eyes and knew the answer in his mind.

This matter is most likely not related to Pei Rongrong; he has misunderstood again.

However, when he went to the Pei family again, even the servants refused to open the door for him.

Meng Yu was dejected and was about to leave when he saw Shao Yan's car parked at the door.

She got out of the car and met Meng Yu.

Meng Yu was in a bad mood, while Shao Yan seemed to be living a more and more glamorous life in front of him.

"Mr. Shao, you've got some impressive skills. You've managed to get Meng's prices lower than all our competitors. Is this how you do business?"

Meng Yu felt his heart bleed as he thought about what had happened during this time.

Shao Yan smiled faintly.

"Comparable to President Meng. He clearly built Meng's into the second largest in Beicheng by relying on my mother's inheritance, yet he not only refuses to acknowledge it but also smashed my mother's belongings. Isn't President Meng's ingratitude even more disgusting than mine?"

When Meng Yu saw her bring up the old matter again, but seeing Shao Yan standing in front of him, so beautiful and dazzling like the sun, he didn't even have the courage to retort.

"What are you doing here? Trying to ruin my relationship with Rongrong?"

He was in the wrong with Shao Yan after all.

Shao Yan felt that Meng Yu was just making conversation for the sake of it. Maybe he was acting like a jerk lately, and he wouldn't feel comfortable unless Shao Yan retorted to him a few times.

Therefore, Shao Yan had no intention of letting him go.

"Do you and Miss Pei need anyone to sabotage your relationship? When has President Meng ever failed to squander a winning hand?"

This sentence carries a very deep meaning.

Meng Yu was deeply moved by what she said. Ever since he learned that Shao Yan had married Huo Xiao, he hadn't had a single day without regret.

Even the old man said that with Shao Yan's abilities, if Meng Yu could restrain himself and let Shao Yan lead the Meng family for another two years, the Meng family could leave all the commercial groups in Beicheng behind by twenty years.

Meng Yu felt that the old man's words were somewhat exaggerated, but now that he had repeatedly fallen into her trap, he had no choice but to admit defeat.

Meng Yu lost the courage to argue and softened his tone as he looked at Shao Yan.

"I know it was wrong of me to treat you like that in the past. Yan Yan, as long as you turn back, as long as you're willing—"

"Mr. Meng, you'd better clean up your own mess. I'm not going back."

Meng Yu was genuinely anxious: "Do you know that Huo Xiao isn't coming back from over there?"

Shao Yan's pupils suddenly contracted.

"What did you say?"

She didn't want to appear too concerned about Huo Xiao's affairs, but instincts couldn't fool anyone, especially not herself.

Seeing Shao Yan's reaction, Meng Yu was very disappointed.

Shao Yan was indeed completely fooled by Huo Xiao and lost her heart.

She absolutely refused to go back to him because of that man.

"Don't you know? Huo Xiao's godfather won the cabinet election. Even if he doesn't get the presidency, he's still a key cabinet member with unimaginable power."

I heard from a secret source that he is his godfather's biological son. So, do you think he will still go back to Beicheng?

Shao Yan, you don't understand men at all. For men, power is everything. Women are always available. Once he has power and immense wealth, what are you to him?

Meng Yu's words struck Shao Yan's heart like a heavy hammer. She knew this, but hearing it from someone else made it feel even crueler.

"Meng Yu, don't apply your own understanding to others. My relationship with Huo Xiao and my wife is none of your business."

Whether he comes back or not, or what he's doing over there, is not something you can speculate or make up. Instead of worrying about yourself, think about whether Meng's stock price will continue to fall if you make headlines tomorrow.

"By then, even if you beg Honda Fit, they won't want your junk stock. Don't blame me for not warning you; people who spread rumors usually don't end well. Especially not someone like me who holds the future of your Meng Group in my hands."
