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

Song Qingyan was trembling with anger. He had known all along that this matter was related to Shao Yan.

But at this time, for the sake of his son, he had no choice but to be submissive and humble towards Shao Yan.

If Shao Yan continues to insist on getting rid of Song Xiao, no matter how much influence she has, there's no way to get him out of trouble.

Shao Yan looked at him with a calm and composed expression.

"It's no use trying to play the family card now. You and I have no relationship whatsoever. You're not my father, and I'm not your biological daughter. Now that your son has committed a crime and is in my hands, if you want him to be safe and sound, you'll have to offer tangible benefits in return."

You're a businessman; business is business. You know what you're doing. I think I've said enough; I don't need to remind you anymore.

Song Qingyan thought for a long time, then gritted his teeth.

"Your grandfather did leave you 40% of the shares, but you're not good at business. I'm agreeing to give you 10% and also allow you to hold a position at the Song Group. What do you think?"

Song Qingyan's words almost made Shao Yan laugh. She lowered her eyelids slightly and looked at Song Qingyan, her lips curling into a meaningful smile like a hunter sizing up its prey.

"I'm not here to ask you to divide up the shares my grandfather left me as a reward. Besides taking back the 40% my grandfather gave me, I also need half of the shares you have."

Since you are not my biological father, the Shaw Group naturally has nothing to do with you. However, considering your contributions to the Shaw family over the years, I won't take everything. But you must give me half of your shares."

Shao Yan's words were undoubtedly a case of asking a tiger for its skin, and Song Qingyan would never agree to it. He slammed his hand on the table, immediately stood up, pointed at Shao Yan, and began to curse her.

"As you know, I've been working like a slave for the Shao family all these years. When I took over this company, it was a complete mess. Those shareholders could have jumped out at any time and swallowed up the Shao Group. It was only because I, the son-in-law, was there to strategize and pull it back on track."

Now that the group is growing bigger and bigger, you're trying to take away my shares. What's the difference between that and discarding a used tool?

Shao Yuerou and I have a proper marriage certificate; we are a legally married couple. As for you, this bastard child, you are indeed not my offspring.

"You're simply not qualified to have shares in my Song Group. Giving you 10% is already me being merciful, and you still dare to ask for an exorbitant amount."

Song Qingyan's words only elicited a soft laugh from Shao Yan, who looked at him with a faint expression.

"Song Qingyan, do you think you have the ability to negotiate with me now? Are you still going to handle your son's matter or not?"

One sentence from Shao Yan instantly silenced Song Qingyan. He knew he couldn't confront her directly at this moment, so he tried his best to calm himself down and pleaded softly.

"Yanyan, after all these years, we've been father and daughter. I've done you and your mother a lot, if not great, I've certainly put in a lot of effort. I haven't held it against your mother for having you while she was away, and I've treated you like my own daughter. And now you're sending your brother to jail. How is that any different from repaying kindness with enmity?"

Unfortunately, Shao Yan paid no heed to his words. She would show no mercy in her revenge against Song Qingyan, and she would investigate her mother's death step by step.

If it turns out that Zeng Qier's nonsense that time was true, she will personally send Song Qingyan to prison.

At this moment, Cheng Yuxin also arrived. She had heard everything the father and daughter were saying and had been unable to contain herself for a long time. However, for the sake of her son, she tried her best not to have a direct confrontation with Shao Yan.

"Yanyan, we're family after all. If you let Xiao come back, your dad will give you 10% of the shares, and that'll settle things."

Based on your current status, your parents have a formal marriage certificate, but you and your father don't have a de facto father-daughter relationship. So, what evidence do you have to prove you are Shao Yuerou's daughter? Have you thought this through?

There wasn't even a body left of Shao Yuerou, just a pile of ashes. Even if a paternity test were to be done, Shao Yan couldn't do it. Cheng Yuxin dared to spout nonsense in front of Shao Yan precisely because of this.

All the original veterans of the Shaw Group were bought off by her and Song Qingyan, and now they have become the most loyal lackeys of the Song Group.

Everyone in this world knows very well that whoever can help them make money and provide them with a good life is their provider.

After all, the Shao family has become the Song family and is now under Song Qingyan's control. What trouble can that young girl, Shao Yan, possibly cause? Besides, her backer, Huo Xiao, isn't even in Beicheng. Cheng Yuxin heard all this from Zeng Qier.

When it comes to company matters, Shao Yan is unyielding, her amused gaze revealing a chilling depth that Cheng Yuxin cannot comprehend.

"Zeng Qi'er is your biological daughter, right? Some of the facts she told me are enough to send both of you to jail. And now you still dare to negotiate with me here."

When will Song Qingyan give me half of the Song Group's shares? When will he stop letting your son out? This is non-negotiable.

"And all the real estate you bought with the money my grandfather gave you, all of it will be transferred to my name. The house you're living in with Song Qingyan originally belonged to the Shao family; please move out."

Now Song Qingyan was so angry he wanted to kill someone. He couldn't believe that Shao Yan would dare to negotiate such terms with him; it was simply wishful thinking.

"Don't think you can rely on Huo Xiao just because you married him. I heard he went abroad and won't be back anytime soon. Your divorce is inevitable. What right do you have to ask me for these things? Do you think Huo Xiao can back you up?"

Cheng Yuxin had more to say about Huo Xiao, and she looked at Shao Yan as if she were watching a joke.

"It seems the Huo family doesn't consider you family either. Didn't Huo Qingyue tell you? Is it possible that Huo Xiao is having a wedding with his ex-girlfriend abroad? And that his ex-girlfriend is carrying his child..."

They were talking about Lan Yan, but Shao Yan knew very well that it was still unclear whose child Lan Yan was carrying.

So these words were deliberately said by Cheng Yuxin to hurt Shao Yan, with the aim of throwing her off balance. But Shao Yan only wanted to avenge her mother, and she had long forgotten about Huo Xiao.

She is no longer the love-obsessed girl she used to be. She knows exactly what she wants, especially since she has an unborn child in her belly. She wants to secure a place for herself and her unborn child in Beicheng.

Furthermore, they must reclaim everything that belongs to their mother and take back all the things from the Shao family that Song Qingyan shouldn't have taken.

"Huo Xiao is Huo Xiao, and I am me. Even if I am his wife, if he really has another woman outside, we will get a divorce. But what necessary connection does that have with me asking you to take back our Shao family's things?"

Today, Shao Yan doesn't need anyone to back her up; she is her own support. Whether or not you want a son is something you must think carefully about."
