Wu Youyou and Yang Min agreed to go to Kyoto together two days later, and Yang Min suggested inviting Liu Xiaolan to go along.

Wu Youyou thought it was a good idea.

After leaving the Yang family, Wu Youyou returned home and began to worry about whether her mother, Song Lan, had succeeded. But in reality, she didn't need to worry about Song Lan's efficiency.

Although Song Lan is a wealthy woman, she is very shrewd in handling matters.

She hired a lawyer and brought two bodyguards. That same day, she sold the apartment where He Qiangwei lived directly through a real estate agency and personally went to the apartment to handle the follow-up matters.

Because He Qiangwei's new identity made the news, she decided to go to Honglou Enterprise to negotiate with several shareholders, attempting to transfer the company to them.

While shareholders welcome this, none of them currently have the financial strength to buy the entire company.

Seeing an opportunity, Shen Xiao claimed he had three days to raise the money and sign a contract with He Qiangwei. However, He Qiangwei only gave him one day, demanding payment by noon the following day, otherwise she would not sell to him.

An excited Shen Xiao is currently busy raising money.

Meanwhile, He Qiangwei also wanted to exchange her two valuable jewelry necklaces for cash, so she returned to her apartment.

However, when she returned to the apartment entrance, she saw Song Lan standing there.

At first, He Qiangwei was surprised, but she quickly asked with feigned concern, "Auntie, what brings you here? Did Dad tell you I was here?"

Song Lan did not answer her question, but just looked at her coldly and said in an icy voice, "Let's go inside and talk."

He Qiangwei realized that something was wrong, so she became more vigilant.

She looked at Song Lan and nodded slightly to indicate that she agreed to go inside and talk.

Song Lan made way for her to open the door, and He Qiangwei was pushed into the room by Song Lan after she opened the door.

She turned around and glared at Song Lan, asking fiercely, "What are you going to do?"

Song Lan waved her hand calmly, and coldly ordered, "Search!"

Two bodyguards frantically searched through He Qiangwei's apartment. Seeing her belongings in such a mess, He Qiangwei stepped forward to try to stop them, but was thrown to the ground by one of the bodyguards.

Another bodyguard barged into her bedroom, terrifying her. He Qiangwei shouted, "Don't come into my bedroom!"

But she was firmly controlled by another bodyguard.

Soon, the bodyguards found the two jewelry necklaces in He Qiangwei's room.

When she saw her beloved possessions being searched, her pupils dilated, and she screamed incredulously, "Those are my jewels! What right do you have to take them!"

Song Lan raised an eyebrow and walked towards He Qiangwei, who was being controlled. She carefully examined He Qiangwei's face, a hint of disdain on her lips, "It's you, always going against my daughter, and pretending to be a member of the Wu family. You're such a scheming girl."

She glanced at the two jewels again, her voice even colder, "I came here to get these two jewels back. You'd better behave yourself, or you'll regret it."

“That was bought for me by my father, you have no right to take it!” He Qiangwei retorted, her eyes red.

"Not qualified?" Song Lan sneered. "If I'm not qualified, then do you, this fake heiress, have the qualifications? I am the dignified Mrs. Wu. These jewels you've spent are our marital property. It's perfectly reasonable for me to reclaim them!"

He Qiangwei gritted her teeth and glared at Song Lan, but finally laughed, "It's ridiculous. Don't you have any idea how you married Wu Zhenyuan in the first place?"

If this had been said in the past, it would have been enough to make the kind-hearted Song Lan give in.

But now that Song Lan knows the truth, He Qiangwei's words can no longer sway her.

Before leaving, Song Lan turned back to He Qiangwei and said, "Oh, by the way, you have one day to move out. I've already sold this apartment."

Song Lan's words filled He Qiangwei with resentment, and her murderous intent towards Song Lan burned like a raging fire.

After a while, He Qiangwei collapsed to the ground, feeling utterly powerless amidst the anger and despair in her heart.

He Qiangwei had lost her jewelry and house, and the company's situation was uncertain. In order to resolve the company's problems as soon as possible, she dialed Shen Xiao's number.

At this moment, Shen Xiao was raising funds. When he received He Qiangwei's call, he felt uneasy, but he still had to answer the phone.

On the phone, He Qiangwei's voice was low and firm, "Uncle Chen, I'm willing to halve the transfer price, and we'll sign the contract tomorrow morning."

This news was like heavenly music to Shen Xiao, and he agreed without hesitation.

As night fell, Song Lan looked at the worried Wu Zhenyuan and gestured for her daughter Wu Youyou to go back to her room.

Wu Youyou glanced at her father, her eyes filled with worry. Song Lan noticed her daughter's emotions and said softly, "Youyou, go and rest. I'll make some fish soup for your father, and we'll go to sleep in a bit too."

Wu Youyou nodded and silently returned to her room.

In the room, she found a box on the table. Upon opening it, she found a bank card and two strings of jewelry inside.

Is this the jewelry He Qiangwei asked her father to buy for her? She took out the bank card; the money in it must have come from the sale of the apartment.

A warm feeling welled up in Wu Youyou's heart. Her mother knew how much she had suffered at He Qiangwei's hands, so she had specially left this for her to comfort her. Her mother's care made her feel incredibly warm.

At the same time, Wu Zhenyuan fell into deep thought.

He received a call in the afternoon from Kyoto regarding the cooperation rights for Project 649. Although they did not completely withdraw from the cooperation project, the project in Area B was directly withdrawn.

This practice of withdrawing only some projects made him feel puzzled and wary.

Wu Zhenyuan knew that this was related to the news about him today. The Kyoto authorities may have seen the news and punished him.

He was furious at He Qiangwei's deception; he never imagined he would be tricked by a little girl.

If he had taken a DNA test back then, perhaps this situation wouldn't have happened.

Seeing her husband's worried expression, Song Lan already knew the reason. She gently comforted him, "Old Wu, as long as our family is safe and sound and earns enough to live on, that's enough. Let bygones be bygones, and we should look forward. Although we suffered some losses this time, we also learned valuable lessons from it, so let's just let this matter go."

Wu Zhenyuan glanced back at Song Lan and sighed, "The marriage alliance with the Wei family in Kyoto is the real problem we're facing now, as it will inevitably offend the Wei family."

"Regarding this matter, the fault lies with their son's poor character. Furthermore, regardless of whether He Qiangwei is a child of our Wu family, this marriage should be called off. At that time, we would also offend the Wei family. So, no matter what, the outcome will be the same. If the Wei family really wants to harm our Wu family, we will take corresponding measures to deal with it." Song Lan's firm attitude surprised Wu Zhenyuan.

Hearing this, Wu Zhenyuan seemed less frustrated.

He looked around and, after confirming that his daughter was not nearby, smiled and said to Song Lan, "Honey, I suddenly feel a little hungry and want to drink fish soup."
