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

Zeng Qi'er was genuinely terrified. She'd been having nightmares constantly, each time dreaming of Shao Yuerou's vengeful spirit seeking revenge.

"What did you say? Who did you tell that your father strangled Shao Yuerou?"

Cheng Yuxin was so frightened that her soul almost flew out of her head, and she clung to Zeng Qier's arms, shaking her desperately.

"I think you're the one who's crazy. Are you sure it's a ghost? How could there be a ghost in broad daylight?"

Zeng Qi'er cried so hard she could barely breathe: "Mom, it was at night, very late at night. My hands and feet were tied up and I heard someone outside shouting 'Give her back her life!' Then I saw Shao Yuerou. She wanted to kill me."

Cheng Yuxin was in a daze for a while before she came to her senses. When she realized what was happening, her face turned pale.

"It must have been that brat Shao Yan who did it. Shao Yuerou couldn't possibly still be alive. It must have been Shao Yan."

But at this moment, Cheng Yuxin wanted nothing more than to strangle Zeng Qier. That idiot actually revealed Song Qingyan's affair.

"What else did you say?"

Seeing that Zeng Qier still dared to cry after causing trouble, Cheng Yuxin slapped Zeng Qier twice more and yelled, "Shut up, shut up!"

Zeng Qi'er was also frightened, tears streaming down her face, and she only dared to sob softly.

Cheng Yuxin trembled all over as she pointed at her.

"Do you even have a brain? The person who kidnapped you might be Shao Yan. She deliberately made you say things that are detrimental to me and your father. Have you lost your mind?"

Zeng Qi'er also tried to argue her point.

"No, Mom, it was a kidnapping orchestrated by Meng Yu's mom and me. We were just pretending. I wanted to lie to Meng Yu so he wouldn't see Pei Rongrong. It couldn't have been Shao Yan."

Zeng Qi'er was still confessing to Cheng Yuxin when Song Qingyan, who arrived late, overheard everything outside. He walked in and, without saying a word, slapped Zeng Qi'er several times across the face until she coughed up blood and begged for mercy.

Song Qingyan never expected that his actions would be so easily exposed.

He wanted to beat Zeng Qi'er to death.

A nurse outside saw Zeng Qier being beaten. The person who originally wanted to step in and stop it was so frightened by how fiercely Song Qingyan was beating her that they stood frozen at the door.

Song Qingyan only stopped when someone went to find the head of the department, and the head of the hospital's surgery department hurriedly arrived with his men. Zeng Qier had already been beaten black and blue.

"Mr. Song, this is a hospital, and there are patients and their families all around. What you're doing is inappropriate. What did Ms. Zeng do to offend you?"

Song Qingyan showed no respect whatsoever.

"She's my daughter. Is it illegal for me to discipline my own daughter?"

If Song Qingyan had a knife in his hand at that moment, he probably would have stabbed Zeng Qier without hesitation.

The director was horrified, but he couldn't just stand by and watch Zeng Qi'er be beaten to death. Seeing that he couldn't persuade her, he could only say helplessly, "President Song, if this happens again, we will call the police."

Cheng Yuxin quickly stepped forward with a smile, saying, "The father and daughter had a little conflict, but they're family."

The director suddenly looked at Song Qingyan: "Yesterday, someone brought in hair samples from Mr. Song and Ms. Zeng for a paternity test. I thought there was a problem with the results."

Song Qingyan stared at the director as if he had been struck by lightning.

"What did you say? What was the result?"

The director hadn't noticed anything amiss: "President Song and Miss Zeng are indeed father and daughter. Yesterday's report has already been taken away."

Cheng Yuxin felt ice-cold all over. Her voice trembled as she asked, "Who took the report?"

The director thought for a moment: "Mr. Song's other daughter, she said her surname is Shao."

Song Qingyan suddenly felt like the sky had fallen, and Cheng Yuxin even sat down on the ground with a thud.

"No, that's impossible, there must be a mistake."

If Shao Yan finds out about this, then the fact that she is Song Qingyan's original wife will be exposed.

She married Song Qingyan first, but the two got married in the countryside and only held a banquet without registering their marriage. Later, Song Qingyan came to Beicheng and met the beautiful and wealthy Shao Yuerou.

Song Qingyan was handsome, intelligent, and had a knack for charming women. He first worked as a salesman at the Shaw Group, where he became the top salesman and caught the eye of Old Master Shao.

Later, when she invited him to her home for dinner, his refined manners and courteous demeanor immediately won Shao Yuerou's heart.

Grandpa Shao had taken precautions, but Song Qingyan hid it too well. Shao Yuerou probably wouldn't know until her death that the woman who took care of her every day was actually her husband's real spouse.

She was merely their blood donation package.

After Shao Yuerou fell ill, Cheng Yuxin took care of her as a medical worker. Her acting skills were on par with Song Qingyan's. Both of them possessed superstar-level acting abilities.

Finally, Shao Yuerou showed signs of improvement. Cheng Yuxin simply gave Shao Yuerou an injection and then discussed it with Song Qingyan. At that time, Old Master Shao was no longer alive, and Shao Yan was still young and didn't understand anything. Even at the beginning, Shao Yan thought Cheng Yuxin was a good person.

After much discussion, Song Qingyan and Cheng Yu decided to give Shao Yuerou a quick death. Taking advantage of her unconscious state after being injected with drugs, Song Qingyan strangled her to death.

Shao Yuerou had been ill for too long, and her death was to be expected. In addition, Song Qingyan looked extremely grief-stricken and resolutely refused any autopsy that would harm Shao Yuerou's body. He played the role of a devoted lover so well that no one suspected anything.

Besides treating Shao Yan worse and worse, Song Qingyan finally got married to Cheng Yuxin without Shao Yan's knowledge.

If Meng Yu hadn't betrayed Shao Yan, Shao Yan probably wouldn't have suspected the cause of her mother's death, nor would she have known that her mother was strangled to death by Song Qingyan himself.

"You wretched bitch, you've got me killed this time. Don't tell anyone about your relationship with me, or I'll kill you with my own hands first."

After the hospital director left, Song Qingyan threatened Zeng Qier viciously. Zeng Qier was already so frightened that she hid to the side trembling, blood still seeping from her forehead.

After all, she was his own daughter, and Cheng Yuxin was really afraid that Song Qingyan would beat Zeng Qier to death, so she quickly pulled him back.

"It's no use killing her. The most important thing now is to figure out how to prevent Shao Yan from making this public. Qingyan, if those old guys on the board find out, will they kick us out of the company?"

This is what Cheng Yuxin is most worried about. She was just a country woman who got to where she is today because she married Song Qingyan and gave birth to a son and a daughter for him.

She didn't want to live that impoverished, scorned, and looked-down-upon life anymore.

Now she has a car to ride in and can sit on equal footing with socialites and wealthy ladies, spending money like water.

No one could resist this kind of life, and she didn't want to go back to her old days. Reputation and status had severed too much of a ties between her and the country woman she once was.

She even abandoned her parents and relatives from her original family, just because she didn't want anyone to know about her past. If Shao Yan really exposed this, not only would her life be ruined, but Song Qingyan might also go to jail.

Her two children will become rats that everyone hates.

"Do you even need to tell me this? Look at the good daughter you raised. I married you, and this is the kind of thing you repay me with?"

"If it weren't for the fact that she could still hold Meng Yu's heart and had given the Meng family a grandson, I would have kicked this useless piece of trash out long ago."
