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

Faced with Shao Yan's aggressive and increasingly demanding behavior, Song Qingyan could no longer maintain his composure. He slammed his hand on the table, glaring at her with a ferocious expression.

"Shao Yan, are you out of your mind? Are you short of food, water, or money? Just tell me how much you need, and I'll transfer it to your account. Why do you insist on coming back to ask me for company shares?"

You're a woman, with more money than you can spend. You could live a life of luxury, shopping, buying expensive luxury goods, and having afternoon tea with other wealthy women. Wouldn't that be better? Why do you have to escalate things to such an irreparable point? What good does that do for you or for anyone else?

Shao Yan coldly watched as Song Qingyan suddenly turned hostile. He slammed his fist on the table, so she decided to smash everything in Song Qingyan's house.

All the antiques that were at hand, as well as the tableware and tea set that Song Qingyan liked and Cheng Yuxin loved, were smashed on the ground.

Her series of actions infuriated Song Qingyan and Shao Chengyuxin.

"Song Qingyan, don't forget who you are. Our Shao family has always been a well-known wealthy family in Beicheng. You, Song Qingyan, are just a poor boy."

If you hadn't used sweet words to trick my mother into marrying you back then, you wouldn't be where you are today. You should be the one enjoying everything that comes with the resources of the Shao family.

But you killed my mother with your own hands. You're an ingrate! Let me tell you, I will get back all of Shaw Brothers' shares. Before, I only wanted half, but now I want them all.

Song Qingyan was furious and finally said something that shocked Shao Yan.

"Don't think that your mother was wronged by marrying me. Let me tell you, when your mother married me, she was already three months pregnant. The daughter in her belly is you. You are the bastard child your mother had with another man outside, and you came to me to be the one to take over."

I only agreed to marry your mother back then because I felt sorry for her, and to save face for your Shao family. Everything I received from the Shao family was rightfully mine; I earned it by sacrificing my self-respect and dignity.

I'm a grown man, and I married a pregnant woman. Do you know what people outside are saying about me?

I have endured humiliation and swallowed my pride until today, abandoning my own wife and two children to spend every day with you and your mother.

Don't you think everything I've done deserves your grandfather giving me all your family's assets? And I raised you, this bastard, with great care, sent you to school, and gave you the best education. Now you've married a seemingly impressive man and turned around to bite me.

Let me tell you, the real ingrate is you, Shao Yan, and your entire Shao family. It's not me, Song Qingyan, who's full of scheming and plotting. I'm upright and honest, and even if I did kill your mother, so what? She deserved to die.

Song Qingyan regretted his words after he finished speaking, but unfortunately Shao Yan already knew everything. Hearing Song Qingyan's words, Shao Yan was so angry that she wanted to kill him on the spot.

After calming down, she sneered inwardly. She had finally gotten what she wanted: evidence that Song Qingyan had personally confessed to killing Shao Yuerou.

These things were all hidden in the voice recorder in her pocket. It would come in handy when she took Song Qingyan to court.

Shao Yan got up and left without paying any attention to Song Qingyan, who was almost going crazy behind her.

As soon as Shao Yan left, Song Qingyan slumped onto the sofa, pressing one hand to his chest, gasping for breath.

Cheng Yuxin panicked and quickly got him some medicine, but Song Qingyan still didn't recover. She could only call an ambulance to take Song Qingyan to the hospital. While waiting for the doctor to provide emergency care, Cheng Yuxin called her daughter Zeng Qier.

"Shao Yan just came to our house and caused a scene, making your dad so angry he ended up in the hospital. Now his relationship with Shao Yan is at rock bottom; Shao Yan knows everything. If you hadn't said those things back then, Shao Yan wouldn't be so aggressive. How's things going with you and Meng Yu?"

"Our family is now counting on you. If you can't win over Meng Yu, we'll have no one to rely on in the future. Shao Yan is determined to take back the company's shares. As for whether your father has a chance of winning, that's up to fate."

Cheng Yuxin thought Zeng Qier would be so frightened by this that she would be at a loss and pledge her loyalty to her, but she didn't expect Zeng Qier to not care at all.

She lay on the sofa, watching a soap opera while eating cherries that the nanny had just washed.

Zeng Wen has been sent to kindergarten, and now she is all alone at home. Occasionally, she will make a video call to Meng Yu to make sure he is somewhere. As long as he doesn't meet with Pei Rongrong or Shao Yan, Zeng Qi'er can rest easy at home and be a carefree young mistress.

"You didn't say that to me back in the hospital. Dad wouldn't even acknowledge me. Besides, I don't have any connection to the Song family now. I'm Zeng Qi'er now, and the fate of the Song family has nothing to do with me."

Cheng Yuxin never expected that her hopeful call to Zeng Qier would be her last line of defense with Song Qingyan. Zeng Qier's tone, however, nearly caused Cheng Yuxin to faint along with Song Qingyan.

Zeng Qi'er didn't care what happened to the Song family; she only cared about herself and Meng Yu. As long as her relationship with Meng Yu was stable, she didn't need anyone else. She didn't need the identity Song Qingyan gave her; she didn't care who she was.

However, Zhou Fang overheard her phone call. When Zhou Fang returned, she heard Zeng Qier talking to Cheng Yuxin, and it seemed that she also heard something unpleasant about the Song family. Zhou Fang became suspicious.

The reason she approved of her son being with Zeng Qier was that she knew Zeng Qier's biological father was Song Qingyan, and the Song family's wealth was well-known in Beicheng. Therefore, if Meng Yu didn't marry Shao Yan or Pei Rongrong, but instead married Zeng Qier, it wouldn't be a big loss for the Meng family.

As soon as Zhou Fang entered the room, Zeng Qi'er immediately stood up from the sofa, who had been sitting crookedly, and became as dignified as if she were a completely different person. When she saw that Zhou Fang was carrying some things, she immediately went to help her.

"Why didn't you call me when you went out to buy things so early in the morning? At least I could have helped you."

Zeng Qi'er was always understanding and considerate towards Zhou Fang, meeting the standards of a good daughter-in-law.

Zhou Fang was more satisfied with Zeng Qier in this respect than anyone else, but for a family like theirs, marriage was the right way for their son to go in the future, rather than doing these menial jobs that could be done by servants if they had money.

"I just bought a few small things, you don't need to make another trip. I just heard you talking to your mom on the phone. Our two families are going to be related by marriage in the future, so when can we have your parents come over for a meal?"
