After leaving his father behind, the son of a prominent figure in Beijing's elite circles has g

Rong Zheng raised her hand to tidy her hair, which was disheveled by the papers, and looked at Bai Yuxiu with an open and honest gaze. "I didn't expose the news of Lu Peichuan's extramarital affair. As for what you said about wanting a share of the property..."

She paused, her gaze instantly turning cold. "I wanted a clean break, but your son disagreed. Since he forced me down this path, I deserve what I'm owed—the price he has to pay for hurting me!"

"Greed is greed, why make it sound so high-sounding?" Bai Yuxiu said sarcastically. "I've seen plenty of people like you, reeking of money. The Lu family isn't pushovers; they won't be coerced by you. I advise you to withdraw the lawsuit and then post a statement online to clarify and apologize for Pei Chuan. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Rong Zheng frowned. "I'll say it again, I didn't leak the news online."

"Looks like you won't learn your lesson until you're faced with death. Do you really think I can't handle you?" Bai Yuxiu turned and ordered the two bodyguards behind her, "Go in and bring the child out."

Rong Zheng's heart skipped a beat. She hadn't expected Bai Yuxiu to harm a child. She immediately spread her arms to block the doorway, shouting, "You're trespassing! That's against the law!"

Bai Yuxiu scoffed coldly, "I'm the child's grandmother. What law is it against a grandmother to want to see her granddaughter?" Then, her gaze sharpened, and she ordered the bodyguards, "Break in!"

The bodyguards were burly and quickly subdued Rong Zheng, one holding her down while the other went inside to take the child.

Soon, the sounds of Xu Ma's protests and the child's cries came from the room.

Rong Zheng struggled to go inside, but her hands were bound behind her back by the bodyguards, and she couldn't break free. Hearing her daughter's cries and remembering that her daughter had undergone surgery just a month ago, she looked anxiously at Bai Yuxiu, "Tangtang has the blood of the Lu family flowing in her veins, how can you bear to treat her like this?"

"You know she has the blood of the Lu family, so it's only natural for me to take her back to the Lu family to raise her."

They didn't like Tangtang and had never taken her with them. Now that Tangtang has been brought back to the Lu family, it's unknown how she will be treated.

How can such tiny children understand when they are hungry or thirsty?

Tangtang is prone to spitting up milk, so she needs to be held upright and her back gently patted after feeding. She can't be put on the bed until she's sound asleep. She's timid when taking a bath, so you have to hold her hand... I don't know anything, how can they take good care of their baby?

Rong Zheng shook her head. "No, I don't agree."

Bai Yuxiu: "It's not up to you."

At this moment, the bodyguard carried Tangtang out of the room, and Xu Ma followed.

Bai Yuxiu immediately went over to take the child, but the bodyguard stopped Xu Ma.

The child cried incessantly in Bai Yuxiu's arms, but she didn't even glance at her. She only looked coldly at Rong Zheng, "Withdraw the lawsuit, clarify, apologize. If you obediently do as I say and the result satisfies me, I will naturally return this little brat to you. Otherwise, don't even think about seeing her again!"

Seeing Bai Yuxiu carrying her daughter and walking out, Rong Zheng's eyes turned red with anxiety. She no longer cared about anything else and only wanted her daughter back. "I can withdraw the lawsuit. Give my child back to me."

A glint of triumph flashed in Bai Yuxiu's eyes. Every child is flesh of their mother's flesh, and she knew this trick would definitely work.

She stopped and looked at Rong Zheng. "What about clarification and apology?"

Rong Zheng was anxious and helpless. "I really didn't leak the news. How am I supposed to clarify this?"

Bai Yuxiu snorted coldly, "Still arguing with me here? You're just still thinking about dividing the property, aren't you? Today I'll show you what happens when you're greedy."

"What happened to them?"

A deep, clear voice came from the corridor outside the door.

Rong Zheng looked up at the sound and saw that it was Song Shiyan. As if she had seen a savior, she hurriedly pleaded for help, "Big brother, she's trying to take Tangtang away, can you help me?"

Bai Yuxiu hadn't expected to run into Song Shiyan here. Her deep-seated fear of him made her instinctively nervous, but then a mocking smile appeared on her lips. "Rong Zheng, you caused Lu's stock to plummet to its daily limit right after the market opened, and the projects Song's and Lu's collaborated on also suffered heavy losses. How could Shiyan possibly help you?"

The glimmer of hope that had just appeared in Rong Zheng's eyes vanished instantly, and a faint self-mockery curled at the corner of her lips.

She was really out of her mind. Song Shiyan was the adopted son of the Lu family. Now that the Lu family was in trouble and the company's stock had plummeted, the Song family was also implicated. How could he possibly help her?

Song Shiyan's deep, sharp black eyes swept over Rong Zheng, who was being restrained, then glanced at Tangtang, whose face was red from crying, before finally landing on Bai Yuxiu.

The man's eyes were sharp and cold, devoid of any warmth. Although he said nothing, a single glance was enough to send chills down one's spine.

Bai Yuxiu explained almost instinctively, "Shi Yan, I... I meant to..."

Seeing the man walking towards her, she was so frightened that she didn't dare to say a word.

Song Shiyan reached out his hand to Bai Yuxiu.

Bai Yuxiu moved her lips as if she wanted to say something, but when she met Song Shiyan's unfathomable eyes, she immediately shut her mouth and obediently handed the child to him.

Following behind Song Shiyan, Fang Zheng frowned at the two bodyguards holding Rong Zheng and Xu Ma down, and coldly shouted, "Aren't you going to let go?"

The two bodyguards were so frightened that they immediately released the person.

Rong Zheng quickly came to Song Shiyan's side. Looking at her daughter, who was crying so hard and waving her little hands and feet helplessly, her heart ached so much that it almost broke.

This was the first time Song Shiyan had ever held a baby. The baby was soft, tiny, and smelled wonderfully of milk. He was afraid of hurting her if he held her too tightly, and afraid of dropping her if he held her too loosely. The usually calm and steady man was tense all over at this moment. When he saw Rong Zheng come over, he immediately handed the baby to her.

Rong Zheng took her daughter, gently nuzzled her face against her daughter's, and softly coaxed, "Tangtang, don't be afraid, Mommy's here."

Tangtang probably felt safe, or perhaps she smelled her mother's familiar and comforting scent, and gradually stopped crying.

Bai Yuxiu had initially thought that Song Shiyan, like her, had come to cause trouble for Rong Zheng, but now she was a little confused. She mustered her courage and said, "Shiyan, we can't give the child to her."

Song Shiyan glanced calmly at Bai Yuxiu with his dark, deep eyes. "Are you trying to teach me how to do things?"

The voice was flat and emotionless, but it exuded a chilling coldness.

Bai Yuxiu gave an awkward laugh. "That's not what I meant, it's just that she..."

"Take your people and leave here," Song Shiyan interrupted her calmly.

Bai Yuxiu didn't know what Song Shiyan was up to. Although she was unwilling to leave like this, she wouldn't dare to disobey Song Shiyan even if she had a hundred times the courage. After glaring at Rong Zheng, she turned and left.

Two bodyguards immediately followed.

Rong Zheng, holding her daughter, looked sincerely at Song Shiyan and said, "Thank you."

Although he didn't explicitly say he was helping her, and perhaps he would settle accounts with her later regarding Lu Peichuan's scandal, at this moment, the child had indeed returned to her side because of him, and for that alone, she should thank him.

Song Shiyan's gaze fell on Rong Zheng's injured lips. "What happened to your lips?"
