Having learned that Ye Maojin had fallen into a trap after his release from prison, Song Xia was leisurely sunbathing in the courtyard. Years had passed, and this place still hadn't been developed. Even after the higher authorities issued documents to protect the ecology and restrict development, the landlord completely gave up on the idea of being evicted and sold it to her at a reasonable price.
The courtyard is still the same. Although she has invested in two factories, her private kitchen is still open. However, the prices are higher than they were ten years ago, to the point that even a moderately wealthy person has to grit their teeth to afford a meal there.
No matter the price, those who come to eat here never regret it; the only regret is that they couldn't get a reservation.
She thought nothing could surprise or bother her anymore, but she was surprised to learn that Sun Xiurong had gone to her factory instead of coming here immediately, probably because she didn't know where she was. It seems that her old neighbors are still very wary of Sun Xiurong.
"Boss, she's making a scene at the factory gate and even brought reporters with her. What should we do?"
Song Xia sneered: "Tell that reporter that if he reports false news and it affects the factory's reputation, he will be held legally responsible. Tell him to think it through before he speaks."
She never expected that after ten years, Sun Xiurong would still have the nerve to come looking for her. What, is she jealous because she knows she has money?
"If they refuse to leave, call the police immediately. I'll make a call later and have my lawyer talk to them."
The manager was relieved. It was good that the boss had a plan. This old woman actually claimed her grandson was the boss's son—wasn't that ridiculous? Everyone knew the boss only had one daughter, and a renowned, talented painter at that. What kind of son would look like that?
Ten years ago, Qin Jiawei was fattened up by Sun Xiurong. Ten years later, because he squandered all his money elsewhere, Qin Jiawei actually lost weight. However, instead of changing his appearance like others, he looked particularly sleazy, especially with his darting eyes. He was clearly not a good person.
"You dare stop me? Your boss is my mother!" he said arrogantly, as if the factory already belonged to him. "If you dare to stop me again, I will fire you all one by one."
The reporters they brought along rolled their eyes when they heard this. What kind of outrageous villainous statement was this? Had they been fooled?
The manager then called the police. After the lawyer who arrived explained the key points and the seriousness of the matter, the reporter quickly apologized and put away the camera. He realized he shouldn't have believed the two men's nonsense, as it almost implicated him.
The police were speechless, and then sternly asked them to leave: "Your behavior has already caused trouble for the business owner, so don't cause trouble here."
“My grandson came to find his stepmother, how is that nonsense?”
"Stepmother?" the reporter asked sarcastically. "You didn't tell me she was a stepmother before."
“They’re all mothers, so how are they different?” Sun Xiurong’s words were evasive. “My son married Song Xia openly and honestly. Now that she’s rich, how can she not care about us, her grandchildren? The money she used to set up the factory was from my son.”
The lawyer adjusted his glasses: "Madam, you have legal responsibilities for what you say. If you and my client have any debt disputes, you are welcome to file a lawsuit in court. However, as far as I know, my client does not have a spouse."
Sun Xiurong said resentfully, "My son is gone, and she ran away with the money. You're all taking her side. Is there no justice in this world?"
Under the watchful eyes of the police and reporters, the lawyer pulled up a document on his phone: "This is a court judgment from ten years ago. At that time, because you withheld your son's salary and compensation, my client was unable to make a living. The money my client received was also legally awarded to my client by the court. Old lady, you can't just say things like that. This is also a police dispatch record. It was because you threw all of my client's belongings out of the house, leaving my client homeless and losing a lot of things, that the police came to handle and mediate."
The lawyer spoke clearly and logically with sufficient evidence. Now the police and reporters looked at Sun Xiurong with even more contempt and anger. It was clearly her fault back then for kicking people out of their homes. How dare she turn around and bite them now?
The reporter was even a little scared. If the lawyer hadn't come, he was afraid he would have been kept in the dark from beginning to end. If the false information had been released and caused trouble for the factory and Ms. Song, he was afraid he would not have been able to escape responsibility!
This old woman almost got herself into serious trouble!
"How dare you, grandfather and grandson, ask me to come and report? You almost got me killed."
“What did I say wrong?” Sun Xiurong remained defiant. “She was my son’s wife, she’s my grandson’s stepmother, how can she abandon my grandson now?”
The police officer stepped forward to speak the truth: "Madam, she has no blood relation to your grandson. From the moment your son passed away and the inheritance was divided, she had no obligation to support your grandson. Besides, your grandson is already an adult, isn't he?"
“But she can’t just ignore it. She has to acknowledge my grandson. I’m doing this for her own good. Without my grandson, who will manage the factory for her in the future?”
The way people looked at her became increasingly strange. In the end, it all came down to money. She had spoken so righteously before, it was laughable. Who would give their property to someone they weren't close to and who had kicked them out?
"Madam, you're being unreasonable. Nobody will side with you." The police officer was relatively polite to her, but he wasn't so kind to Qin Jiawei.
"Your grandma is being unreasonable, and you're going to join in? If you're an adult, you should have the awareness of an adult. Hurry up and take your grandma home, and don't come here to cause trouble again."
Seeing everyone looking at him, Qin Jiawei felt extremely embarrassed. Why were they talking to him like that?
"I want to see her. Let my grandma and I meet her, and then we'll leave."
The manager refused expressionlessly: "Our boss doesn't have time to see you. Leave now."
"I won't leave until she comes to see me."
“Yes.” Sun Xiurong also acted shamelessly, “We won’t leave unless she comes to see us, her grandson and me.”
"Then do as you please. See how long you can wait. Standing here is your right, but if you dare to talk nonsense or cause any impact on our factory and the boss, we will definitely hold you accountable."
The police also advised, "You should leave. Making a scene won't do you any good. Otherwise, if they apply for permission, we will have a responsibility to forcibly remove you."
Sun Xiurong and Qin Jiawei were furious. They never expected that after preparing for two days, they wouldn't even be able to get into the factory, let alone see Song Xia. Was that woman really so heartless?
