Qi An not only instructed the housekeeper not to cook for Song Hui, but also moved all the snacks in the house into her and Sisi's room.

Song Hui waited and waited, until he was starving, but no one paid him any attention.

He was furious. How could his mother be so heartless as to watch him starve?

When he heard no more noise from the house in the middle of the night, he sneaked out of his room, hoping to find something to eat so he could continue his fight with his mother.

After searching around, he was so angry that his mouth twisted into a crook.

The kitchen and refrigerator were completely empty; there were no leftovers, and even the snack cabinet was emptied.

He gritted his teeth and went back to his room. He was going to continue his hunger strike; he refused to believe that his mother could watch him starve forever.

Song Hui went hungry, while Qi An took Sisi out for a carefree time, eating and shopping, getting beauty treatments, and the two were extremely happy.

Ever since Mo Ningyu was brutally beaten by Qi An in front of Sisi that day, she has been in a good mood and much more relaxed, which is better than the effect of taking medicine for several years.

Qi An felt he had found a way to treat Si Si's depression.

Song Hui couldn't hold on for two days without food. He could see Wangcai's doghouse in the backyard from his window, and he could see Wangcai eating heartily at every meal, giving him a live mukbang.

When he was starving, he even tried to steal food from Wangcai's dog bowl.

He walked out of the room with a pale face and unsteady steps. Seeing the mother and daughter sitting on the sofa, their faces glowing, discussing their new manicure, he was furious.

When Sisi saw Song Hui, she quickly stopped smiling and nudged Qi An, who was taking pictures of his sparkly diamond-encrusted nails.

After being poked by Sisi, Qi An looked up at Song Hui and asked, "Is there something you need?"

Looking at his mother's indifferent and cold face, Song Hui felt a surge of anger rising to his head.

He hadn't eaten or drunk anything for two days, but the two women showed no concern whatsoever. Neither of them offered a word of care for him; on the contrary, they seemed to be living a very comfortable life.

Ning Yu even calls him every day to check on him.

Seeing Song Hui's haggard face, Sisi felt a pang of pity. She was about to plead with Qi An, wanting to say that her brother knew he was wrong, when she heard Song Hui speak.

"I will not give up on Ning Yu, I want to be with her."

Sisi shut her mouth.

Qi An scoffed: "Whatever. You're a grown man. If you want to eat shit, who can stop you? Do you really think that woman is after a stupid idiot like you?"

In one sentence, he both insulted Mo Ningyu and belittled Song Hui.

Enraged, Song Hui blurted out, "You just look down on Ning Yu because you think she comes from a bad background. She loves me for who I am. So what if you have a few stinking bucks? What's so great about that?"

Ata: ...It's definitely the placenta.

Song Si was furious: "Brother, what are you saying? Mom is doing this because of her..."

Song Hui interrupted her: "Because she bullied you? But she has already apologized, why are you still holding onto this?"

Sisi was so angry that tears streamed down her face.

Qi An sneered, "You don't know the pain until the knife cuts you."

"So what if you have a little money? Since you look down on my money so much, you should be more responsible and stop using it."

Song Hui was enraged: "Fine, I won't use it. I can still be a superior person on my own."

As a highly educated graduate from a prestigious university, he refused to believe that he couldn't make something of himself.

Song Hui turned to leave, but Qi An called out to him, "Stop."

Song Hui paused, thinking that his attitude of running away from home had frightened his mother. He turned his head arrogantly, thinking to himself that this time he would have to make his mother bleed a lot before he would give her a way out.

What do you want? The latest sports car? Or a house?

We still need a house. Ningyu is still renting. Let her have a house to live in, as an apology for her mother hitting her.

Leave the car keys behind.

Song Hui froze, staring at his mother in disbelief.

Qi An looked puzzled: "Didn't you say you didn't need my dirty money? Wasn't the sports car you drive bought with my dirty money? And keep the watch you're wearing and the custom-made suit, so they don't tarnish your image."

After staring at each other for a long time, seeing that his mother had no intention of giving him a way out, Song Hui angrily threw down his car keys, took off his watch, threw his suit jacket on the ground, and left.

Even after we'd walked out the door, we could still hear Qi An's voice behind us: "You've taken your pants off too..."

Song Hui: ...

He still ended up wearing the pants.

Qi An sneered: Idiot, once you step out this door today, you may never be able to come back.

Does she really think she's his biological mother and can't bear to part with him?

Sisi watched her brother slam the door and leave, thinking of comforting her heartbroken mother, when she turned her head and saw Qi An smiling brightly.

Sisi: "..."

Qi An was indeed in a good mood: "Ata, don't you think the air feels fresher now that he's gone?"

Ata agreed.

Outside the villa area, Mo Ningyu was waiting, her face covered with bandages and her head wrapped in gauze. When she saw Song Hui, she hurriedly limped over to him.

She had been in contact with Song Hui for the past two days, keeping a close eye on the situation. Song Hui assured her that as long as he went on a hunger strike, his mother would definitely soften her heart.

So Mo Ningyu and the others waited outside the villa, preparing to visit again.

Unexpectedly, the trick that had always worked failed this time.

Mo Ningyu helped Song Hui up and asked with concern, "Brother Song Hui, how are you? Why did you come out like this?"

Song Hui had been starving for two days and had just been furious. Now he was feeling unsteady on his feet and dizzy.

Ignoring Mo Ningyu's question, he said irritably, "Let's go eat first."

Mo Ningyu nodded, and the two got into a taxi.

Song Hui, used to being extravagant, took Mo Ningyu directly to a Michelin-starred restaurant and ordered a huge table of food.

After a hearty meal, Song Hui felt alive again; going hungry was truly unbearable.

He told Mo Ningyu what had happened, and then said, "Ningyu, don't worry, even without my mother, I can give you a good life."

Mo Ningyu's hand-wiping motion froze for a moment, but she quickly returned to normal.

"I believe in you. Brother Song Hui is the best. Besides, I think Auntie just acted impulsively and will definitely regret it later. Didn't you say she loves you the most?"

Mo Ningyu cautiously probed.

Song Hui thought the same way: "I'm not going to work at the company for the time being. Without my help, I'll see how long she can hold on."

He smiled smugly: "This company is the culmination of my mother's life's work. She only has one son, me. If she doesn't give it to me, who else would she give it to? Surely not to that clueless little girl, Song Si?"

"Hmph, it won't be that easy for me to go back."

Hearing his words, Mo Ningyu felt a little relieved. It was good that she could go back; otherwise, what was the point of her staying with a poor man who had no right to inherit?

She leaned pitifully against Song Hui's chest: "It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have suffered like this. I'm the one who hurt you."

Song Hui put his arm around her: "I won't allow you to say that about yourself, Ning Yu. In my heart, you are the purest and most innocent girl. I'm willing to do anything as long as I can be with you."

After they finished pouring out their hearts to each other, they called the waiter to settle the bill.

However……

The waiter smiled and said, "Sir, your card balance is insufficient. Please get another one."
