After Mei Xue found out about Qi Beisong's affair with his mistress and illegitimate daughter, she finally had no time to cause trouble for Song Xia and Ji Ye. She spent her days either fighting with her mother-in-law or causing trouble for the mother and daughter.

Song Xia heard that the couple was indeed the daughter of Qi Beisong's mother's friend. After Mei Xue married Ji Jianfei, Qi's mother brought the girl to their home. Qi Beisong was originally planning to compromise and marry her, but then Mei Xue got divorced.

The marriage was postponed by Qi's mother, who couldn't bear to part with the enormous wealth behind Mei Xue. The woman was also very patient, only saying that she didn't ask for a title, but only wanted to stay by Qi Beisong's side. Over the years, she had been well-behaved and never asked for anything.

The more she acted this way, the more guilty Qi Beisong felt towards Mei Xue, even though he still loved her. As a result, most of the money or property Mei Xue gave him over the years was transferred to her name through Qi's mother.

Song Xia thought she was a smart woman, but immoral. Qi Beisong was also ruthless, both to the two women.

Unable to bear being schemed against like this, Mei Xue first had a fierce argument with Qi's mother, then drove away all of Qi's relatives, and loudly proclaimed that it was all their fault, so she would no longer give any help to Qi's relatives.

It has to be said that this move was indeed brilliant, making Qi's mother and Qi Beisong lose face in front of their relatives. Moreover, because they had no place to live and no job, everyone was blaming them.

After consulting a lawyer, she learned that the money and property transferred to that woman were unlikely to be recovered. While having the lawyer slowly collect evidence, she also sent people to cause trouble at the properties that had been transferred to the woman.

For example, if a woman owns a shop, thugs will cause trouble for her every day, making it impossible for her to do business. If someone else comes to take over the shop, they will continue to cause trouble. The same goes for rented houses. Whether it's making noise or making subtle threats, the tenants will be forced to leave so that the woman can't collect rent.

These disruptive tactics are annoying, but they don't cross any legal lines. Calling the police won't solve the problem, so the woman is helpless. If she files a lawsuit, she can't find any connection between these people and Mei Xue.

However, in Song Xia's opinion, she still won, because with Qi Beisong's salary, how could he possibly afford to buy these assets? They all passed through Mei Xue's hands several times before entering the woman's hands; otherwise, Mei Xue wouldn't be so angry.

Mei Xue was too naive before. She unconditionally trusted Qi Beisong, thinking that Qi Beisong's heart was with her and her daughter. So she generously compensated Qi's mother, which is why she can't get back the property that was originally hers. After all, she had given almost all of it to Qi Beisong or Qi's mother on her own initiative. It is legal for the two of them to transfer it to others.

If there were concrete evidence to prove that Qi Beisong had cheated, that would be fine. However, without the woman's cooperation, the law does not support Mei Xue in forcing a paternity test. Moreover, the woman has never shown affection for Qi Beisong in public, nor has she sent her any boastful or provocative words or photos. This puts Mei Xue in a very passive position, only able to create some difficulties for the woman's life.

Qi Beisong losing his job was within Song Xia's expectations. After all, the Mei family was not to be trifled with. Although Mei Yue and her sister had a bad relationship, they couldn't just watch Mei Xue be bullied like this. Since Mei Xue was unwilling to divorce, then they would let Qi Beisong depend on Mei Xue forever.

In truth, the person Qi Beisong loved was always Mei Xue, but he felt guilty towards her. If Mei Xue wanted a divorce, he would agree; if she didn't, he would remain silent and let her vent her emotions.

At the dinner table, Song Xia shook her head and sneered: "If you say he loves her, he betrayed Mei Xue; if you say he doesn't love her, he's unwilling to leave on his own. I really don't know what he wants. He hasn't been able to treat either of the two women fairly."

Ji Ye said coldly, "Isn't this a good thing? They won't have time to bother us anymore."

Suddenly, Song Xia had a flash of inspiration and paused in her eating: "Xiao Ye, did you do this?"

Ji Ye paused for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Song Xia opened her mouth wide in surprise: "Xiao Ye, how did you come up with the idea to do this? And how did you know that Qi Beisong had a problem?"

"Originally, I just wanted to try and find something to hold against them so that they would stop bothering our lives, but I didn't expect to find out something big in the end."

Song Xia calmed herself down for a long time before saying, "You're still young, so focus on your studies for now. Leave these kinds of things to me from now on. After all, she's your mother. If others find out, it won't be good for you."

Ji Ye nodded obediently: "Okay, Aunt Song."

Although Song Xia outwardly disapproved, she was secretly overjoyed: [Is Xiao Ye standing up for me? I'm so happy! Coming to the Ji family was definitely the right decision! Raising a child like Xiao Ye is so fulfilling. Sure enough, after being away from Su Ge, Xiao Ye will be much more normal.]

Ji Ye ate his meal silently with a slight frown. The New Year is almost here, and he hoped he could have a happy one this year!

"Aunt Song, is my uncle coming back soon?"

Upon hearing this address, Song Xia didn't react immediately. After thinking it over, she nodded and said, "He said his flight is in a few days."

"Then let my uncle stay in the villa. Anyway, the villa is quite big, and Ji Jianfei won't be coming back. If he stays outside, it will be troublesome for him to travel back and forth."

"I'll ask him what he thinks next time."

Song Xia's brows furrowed with worry: [In my past life, because I prevented Xiao Ye and Su Ge from seeing each other, I was ultimately sent to a mental hospital by Xiao Ye. After my younger brother returned to the country, he became Xiao Ye's mortal enemy. Now that I'm doing well, I hope my younger brother won't be hostile towards Xiao Ye anymore!]

Ji Ye froze. Had he sent Aunt Song to a mental hospital in his past life? What kind of outrageous act was that? Was he so incapable of distinguishing right from wrong? What kind of bewitching influence did he have on Su Ge in his past life?

Such a good Aunt Song, not only did he not cherish her in his past life, but he also harmed her. No wonder his uncle returned to China and became his enemy. In this life, he vowed that no matter how his uncle treated him, he would accept it gladly.

Song Xia was also very happy that her younger brother was about to return to China. It wasn't that her younger brother insisted on studying abroad, but rather that the research in the country where he wanted to study his major was world-class and not open to China. However, a professor who particularly admired him sent him an invitation.

If you miss this opportunity, you'll really miss it and it will be a lifelong regret. So when her younger brother hesitated because of the high cost of living, Song Xia resolutely chose to agree to Grandpa Ji's conditions.

She knew her younger brother felt very guilty about this, so when he came back this time, she wanted to show him how well she was doing in the Ji family, instead of having to compromise herself. She hoped that her younger brother could wholeheartedly pursue his dreams.
