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

Zeng Qier never expected that even Zhou Fang, who usually stood by her side, would change her attitude in an instant.

She sat down on the ground, devastated, and burst into tears.

But nobody paid any attention to her.

The maids just silently cleaned up the broken things in the living room; no one dared to help her up or say a word to her.

"Mom, what exactly happened to Pei Rongrong?"

Zhou Fang hesitated. But she couldn't resist Meng Yu's persistent questioning.

But before Zhou Fang could answer, Meng Yu spoke first.

"She's my fiancée. When did we meet? And I don't remember ever marrying Zeng Qi'er. Mom, what's going on?"

Before today, Zhou Fang would have lied to Meng Yu, but Song Qingyan was in trouble, so Zhou Fang thought about it and finally chose to tell the truth.

"Pei Rongrong is indeed your fiancée. You and Zeng Qier haven't seen each other for several years. She secretly went abroad to give birth to Wenwen and then let us know."

But at that time, you had already established a relationship with Pei Rongrong, and later got engaged. However, for some reason, Wenwen was also there that day, and that's how it was exposed.

Meng Yu finally understood why Pei Rongrong spoke so sharply and meanly when she saw him.

It turns out that Zeng Qier had their son ruin his engagement party with Pei Rongrong.

Anyone would be furious in this situation, but after understanding the cause and effect, he no longer blamed Pei Rongrong.

Meng Yu felt a mix of emotions after hearing this, and Zhou Fang was also undecided.

"I met with her."

Meng Yu was in a state of confusion. Zeng Qi'er followed him upstairs and secretly followed behind, only to overhear their conversation.

She instantly became furious, her blood rushed to her head, and she almost fainted.

Meng Yu knew everything. Zhou Fang had previously sided with him, but she turned against him after the Song family had some trivial matter.

Zeng Qi'er's heart sank immediately. Meng Yu left Zhou Fang's place and went back to his bedroom with Zeng Qi'er.

Zeng Qi'er's anger hadn't subsided, and her words became even more unpleasant.

"So you were saying you were having a meeting, but it turns out you were seeing Pei Rongrong, right?"

Meng Yu didn't want to bring it up; his feelings had been wavering between Pei Rongrong and Zeng Qier.

It was vague, as if I remembered something, but upon closer inspection, I forgot it all.

Meng Yu was exhausted after a long day and didn't want to argue with Zeng Qi'er. He just wanted some peace and quiet to think about what he should choose.

But Zeng Qi'er felt insecure at this moment, and kept replaying the scene of Meng Yu meeting Pei Rongrong in her mind.

They became increasingly relentless.

"Meng Yu, I had a son with you, I'm your wife. You're seeing that bitch surnamed Pei because you don't want to live this life anymore, right?"

"If you really don't want us, I'll just move out with Wenwen tomorrow. If you want children, you can have them with Pei Rongrong, as many as you want, no problem."

She cried as she spoke, which only made Meng Yu more annoyed, and he stopped saying anything kind.

"Have you made enough of a scene?"

Meng Yu didn't want to continue getting entangled with Zeng Qier.

"I'll be sleeping in the study tonight, so don't wait for me."

Meng Yu reached for the door, and Zeng Qi'er panicked.

She grabbed Meng Yu's waist, preventing him from leaving.

"Ayu, I was wrong. I shouldn't have said that. It's because I like you so much. We've been together for so many years, and we even have a son. I was afraid that another woman would take you away from me. I really didn't mean to."

Meng Yu pulled her hand away and turned to look at Zeng Qier.

"When did you become like this? You are a completely different person from five years ago, Zeng Qi'er. What else are you hiding from me?"

Zeng Qi'er didn't dare to speak; she didn't know if Zhou Fang had told him about their conspiracy to deceive Meng Yu.

But she wasn't stupid; she knew that women should use tears and vulnerability.

She clung to Meng Yu, tears streaming down her face like a broken string of pearls.

"Ah Yu, all you need to know is that I've always loved you. I was wrong back then, but we have a son now, can't you think of him for the sake of our son—"

Meng Yu nodded, looking at her tear-streaked face. Five years ago, Meng Yu's heart might have melted.

Now, there is no pity or compassion left, only disgust.

"So, apart from our son being real, everything else between us is fake, right? Pei Rongrong and I are indeed engaged?"

Zeng Qi'er was dumbfounded. Zhou Fang had clearly told her that as long as she married Meng Yu, this matter would be over.

He sold her out again in the blink of an eye. Meng Yu would definitely believe Zhou Fang's words. Moreover, he also felt that something was wrong. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so enthusiastic about sex in bed, but these days he just couldn't muster any interest in her.

Zeng Qi'er believed that Meng Yu had never touched Pei Rongrong while they were dating, and she also believed that he had never touched Shao Yan after waking up.

After all, Shao Yan was ugly at that time, had a limp, and was not a likable person, so Meng Yu would not sleep with her.

Now, she's not sure.

Pei Rongrong is younger and prettier than her, while Shao Yan has the charm of a mature woman. In contrast, she is exhausted because of Meng Yu's engagement.

She is uncertain about many things.

Zeng Qi'er's tears kept welling up. Meng Yu nodded and pried Zeng Qi'er's hands open one finger at a time.

"You left without looking back back then, and Wenwen was born secretly, wasn't she?"

Meng Yu's accusations brought tears to Zeng Qi'er's eyes.

He's right and wrong. She did leave back then, but Meng Yu chased after her and got her pregnant with Zeng Wen.

Later, he lost his memory, and she unintentionally gave birth to Zeng Wen.

Although he was in a relationship with Pei Rongrong, he never betrayed her, and she believed him.

However, Meng Yu, whose memory was fragmented, had also forgotten this part of their relationship.

Meng Yu's scales began to tip in favor of Pei Rongrong. Coincidentally, he had forgotten everything about Pei Rongrong, which made her more attractive than himself.

Zeng Qi'er wanted to explain, but Meng Yu wouldn't listen. He pushed her aside and went straight back to his room.

Zeng Qi'er wanted to chase after him, but she ran into Zhou Fang at the door. Zhou Fang stopped her, and Zeng Qi'er's eyes were full of anger and resentment.

"Mom, you said you'd help me. You said you only recognized Wenwen and me as your Zhou family's granddaughter-in-law and grandson. What's going on now?"

She hated Zhou Fang for saying one thing and doing another, for being hypocritical, and for turning on her so quickly.

Zhou Fang sneered: "Why are there so many whys? Instead of asking me, why don't you ask what's been going on with your Song family lately?"

Do you really want my son to marry a nobody into the Zhou family?

"Wenwen, we won't give up on you, but you should carefully consider whether you're worthy of being Ayu's wife. I don't need to say anything more."

Zhou Fang has already said all this; if Zeng Qi'er still can't understand what she means, then she's a fool.

What Zhou Fang really wanted wasn't her, or any other woman, to be her daughter-in-law. What she wanted was the family background of these women—whether they were worthy of the Meng family and whether they could bring better development to Meng Yu's career.

It's obvious that Zeng Qier'er's current situation is definitely not something Zhou Fang would approve of.

"So you're planning to kick me out now, right? You can accept me if you really don't want me, but I will absolutely not give Wenwen to you."

Zeng Qi'er's words always earned her Zhou Fang's scorn, who coldly looked at her and said, "You'd better not make any rash moves."

Zhou Fang thought for a moment and then softened her tone. "I was just reminding you, I didn't say you couldn't let A Yu marry you. Aren't you already living together?"

"Wenwen is so young, where can you take him? Stay here with the Meng family, and we'll make sure you're well taken care of."

"What do you mean?"

Zeng Qi'er isn't stupid; she's not oblivious to Zhou Fang's implied meaning.

Does she mean for her to become Meng Yu's lover?

Zeng Qi'er looked at Zhou Fang, who had absolutely no chance to fight back.

Song Qingyan himself was in dire straits, and the reason was that she shouldn't have told Shao Yan the secret. The talented Song Group, Song Bu, and Xiao brought such a huge disaster upon them.

Cheng Yuxin and Song Qingyan both knew it was because of her. Cheng Yuxin was only being kind to her because she wanted to use her relationship with Meng Yu to help the Song family someday.

If Cheng Yuxin discovers that Meng Yu is also going to abandon her, there's no way he'll let her return to the Song family, let alone allow her to acknowledge her ancestors.

She is a daughter, and the only child Song Qingyan and Cheng Yuxin would risk their lives to protect is their son.

She can only swallow her anger now.

I can't do anything.

However, Zeng Qi'er secretly memorized all of these things.

If she can't be Mrs. Meng, then no one else can marry Meng Yu.

She doesn't care about Shao Yan, and she'll deal with Pei Rongrong just as well.

On the surface, Zeng Qi'er could only submit to Zhou Fang; otherwise, not only would she not be able to take Zeng Wen away, but Zhou Fang would also immediately kick her out.

"Mom, now I only have Wenwen and you. Ayu is Wenwen's father after all. You can't abandon us, mother and son."

Zhou Fang was pleased to see that Zeng Qier was willing to back down.

She reverted to her previous haughty and disdainful demeanor as a wealthy woman, glancing sideways at Zeng Qier.

"Don't worry, as long as you do your job well, and I don't want the incident of ruining Ayu's engagement to happen again. Wenwen will stay with me for now. When we have time, our family will take him out for a meal. As for going out, there's no need for that."

There are maids and nannies at home, so you don't need to do anything or worry about making a living. As for A-Yu, don't bother him for the time being.

Zhou Fang's meaning couldn't be clearer; her scales had tipped in favor of Pei Rongrong.

She was told not to let Zeng Wen ruin Meng Yu's plans like she did last time, so Meng Yu would definitely marry Pei Rongrong.

She will never have the chance to be a daughter-in-law of the Meng family, or Mrs. Meng.

Zeng Qi'er was so angry that she almost bit her teeth until they bled.

She concealed the hatred in her eyes, forced out a few words through gritted teeth, and revealed a smile that was more like a grimace.

"I'll do as Mom says."

Zhou Fang nodded, took a few steps forward, and then looked back.

"It's not suitable for you to stay here. We'll have the driver take you back to the villa that Ayu rented for you earlier. It's quite nice there."

If you want to see Wenwen, just call the maid and have them let me know. It's nothing important, no need to contact me, and please don't come here again.
