"Yeah, you're going to miss it?!" Song Mengmeng tilted her head, smiling as she teased Yao Anna, "If you're going to miss it, it's really not a big deal!"

"You know that's not what I meant!" Yao Anna blushed, glared at Song Mengmeng, and complained, "I really don't have a good feeling about this family, what do you mean by being the richest man!"

Isn't it great to earn money through my own hard work now?!

My concern is that if this matter is really to be accomplished, it probably won't be easy.

No matter what, the Song family is still the richest family in Hong Kong. Even a fallen camel is bigger than a horse! If Song Mengmeng wants to achieve this goal, she might have to ask the King of Hell for help.

But if Yama were to intervene, wouldn't it cause trouble for his Emperor Shi Group?

Damaging the jade vase while trying to catch a rat would be a huge loss!

"The Song family is no longer the Song family you know! Although it looks glamorous on the outside, it's actually just a rotten shell inside!"

As the person who knows best how the Song family has managed to survive until now, Song Mengmeng has already cut off any possibility of the Song family turning things around from the root!

The only reason it's still in existence is to make the upcoming finale even more spectacular!

When Yao Anna heard Song Mengmeng say that, she breathed a sigh of relief and didn't waste any more energy on the matter. She continued to read the script and memorize her lines.

Song Mengmeng didn't expect that Luo Yingyue would take the initiative to come to them that evening.

Although the reason given was perfectly legitimate—to let them choose their dresses—this was something that could have been easily handled by anyone else. Why did she, the matriarch of the Song family, need to personally intervene?

"Miss Song, I want to ask, do you have a way to save Alan?!"

As soon as Luo Yingyue entered and sat down, she didn't waste any time on pleasantries and went straight to the point.

She thought about it all afternoon, and her final decision was to perish together with the entire Song family! However, those who were going to die here did not include Alan, who had never enjoyed a single day of happiness and love since birth.

If she could, she hoped to save Alan!

She would give up everything she had to do for it!

"No." Song Mengmeng shook her head and said to Luo Yingyue very honestly, "I have already seen your youngest son's body. He is already exhausted and has less than three months to live at most!"

However, although I can't save his life, I can at least guarantee that he will have a chance to be reincarnated, instead of suffering the same fate as before, where his soul is completely annihilated!

Luo Yingyue, who had been filled with despair, suddenly felt hopeful again upon hearing Song Mengmeng's words. She looked at Song Mengmeng expectantly and said urgently, "Then, what do you need me to do?! I'll do anything, money, or anything else, anything!"

"I want you and Song Qirui to be sacrificed!" Song Mengmeng didn't hide anything and directly stated the solution she could think of: "Use your remaining lifespans and souls to obtain that sliver of hope for him!"

It's just a sliver of hope!

But if you agree to the sacrifice, then you will…

"I agree!" Before Song Mengmeng could finish speaking, Luo Yingyue had already given her answer, almost without any hesitation, and without even planning to wait a second longer.

No matter what, she didn't care anymore!

As long as Alan can have a future, what does it matter if her own soul is scattered?!

It's simply because I owe him too much!

Luo Yingyue nodded, and Song Mengmeng didn't try to persuade her further. She sat opposite Luo Yingyue, behaving obediently like a child waiting for an elder to step into the palace. However, the words she uttered left Luo Yingyue, who was sitting opposite her, with no right or qualification to say no.

Having obtained what she wanted, Luo Yingyue did not linger.

Even though Yao Anna already knew that Luo Yingyue might turn against her after she left, she didn't expect it to happen so quickly, and she was still somewhat uneasy.

However, Song Mengmeng's reaction to this was very calm.

She knew very well that the reason Luo Yingyue made this decision was largely due to the sense of justice she had shown.

After all, compared to Song Qirui, she still retained a tiny bit of conscience.

At least for her youngest son, there was some genuine remorse and love.

The Song family started preparing for the banquet a day in advance. They were busy tidying up the courtyard, cleaning, setting up the venue, and preparing food.

Fortunately, this wasn't the first time the Song family had held such a banquet, and the servants were already used to the procedure, so it proceeded smoothly according to the usual rules.

During this time, Song Qirui did try to find Yao Anna, but she either directly rebuffed him, either gently or firmly, or simply ignored him.

Anyway, at least as he expected, restoring the father-daughter relationship is definitely out of the question!

Seemingly sensing Song Qirui's frustration, the day before the banquet, Song Mengmeng, who never participated in the father-daughter interaction, surprisingly did not immediately chase after Yao Anna after she retreated to her room and refused to communicate. Instead, she stayed in the restaurant, looking up at the frustrated and unwilling Song Qirui with a half-smile: "Mr. Song is really interesting."

"What?!"

Song Qirui was somewhat surprised that Song Mengmeng would suddenly speak to him, but considering what he had observed over the past few days regarding the relationship between this young girl and Yao Anna, he remained rational. He looked at the young girl and spoke in a tone that didn't seem too stern: "Miss Song, what do you mean by suddenly saying this?!"
