Li Yan's face turned pale in an instant, as if she had been slapped hard in the face, and her eyes flashed with humiliation and unwillingness.
She bit her lower lip tightly, trying hard to prevent tears from falling, but still felt an indescribable insult.
Soon, Shao Zhiqiang also returned in disgrace.
Compared to his previous self-righteous attitude, he now looked like a defeated rooster, dejected.
He never expected that the house he always thought was his father's inheritance was actually left to Zhang Cuihua by his grandmother and had nothing to do with his father!
He walked into the yard and saw Li Yan with tears in her eyes.
The anger in his heart was about to rise again, but when he saw Li Yan's aggrieved look, it was suppressed.
"Li Yan, what's wrong with you? Don't cry, tell me." He asked softly, trying to give her some comfort.
Li Yan just stared at Song Jiao quietly, her eyes filled with complicated emotions.
She didn't say anything, as if she was expressing her accusation against Song Jiao with silence.
Song Jiao still maintained that proud attitude. If she hadn't known the original plot, she would have found it hard to believe that the child she had raised with great effort would let her mother starve to death in the future!
"Have you figured it out now? Then let's split up!" Her voice was cold and resolute, leaving no room for negotiation.
When Shao Zhiqiang heard this, he immediately became anxious.
He knelt on the ground with a plop, his eyes full of pleading: "Mom, no matter what, I am your biological son! Are you really so heartless? You won't even give me the chance to live at home? Li Yan and I are getting married soon. What should we do if we don't have a place to live?"
Song Jiao looked at Shao Zhiqiang and almost laughed out of anger.
She said coldly, "You don't have a place to live? You've become an adult since you were eighteen. I've let you live here for so many years. Isn't that enough? Now that we've split up, you can go wherever you want! Don't waste my time here!"
After saying that, Song Jiao turned around and left without looking back, leaving Shao Zhiqiang and Li Yan standing in the yard like two wooden stakes. The wind blew, bringing with it the rustling sound of fallen leaves.
Song Jiao drove straight to the Public Security Bureau, and the scenery outside the car window passed by quickly.
As for Shao Zhiqiang and Li Yan, she sneered in her heart. How they came and how they left had nothing to do with her anymore.
The two of them lingered in the yard for an hour before finally arriving.
Shao Zhiqiang looked at Song Jiao's resolute back, and the anger in his heart burned again.
"I'm going to break off all ties with you!" he said, gritting his teeth. "Don't expect me to support you when you're old!"
Hearing this, Song Jiao curled her lips into a cold smile, and without even thinking, she responded directly: "Okay! Don't come to me in the future, and I'll have some free time!"
Her voice was cold and decisive, as if she was announcing the complete end of a relationship.
The boss's problem was finally resolved, and Song Jiao breathed a sigh of relief.
She returned to that prosperous coastal city again. Times were changing and she had to keep up with the pace.
Karaoke is very popular nowadays and money is flowing in like water. She took out her savings without hesitation and opened a shop.
Every night when night falls, the store is always bustling with people and brightly lit, and it is almost always full every day.
However, Song Jiao has not been without trouble.
Some people saw that her business was booming and wanted to get a piece of the pie, and some even threatened her.
But is Song Jiao someone who can be manipulated by others?
She glanced at him coldly. Thirty people surrounded her, but were beaten to a pulp by her.
From then on, no one dared to show off in front of her.
Song Jiao stood at the door of the shop, looking at the bustling customers with a satisfied smile.
This money can then be used to start a new company.
She would not tolerate any illegal behavior in her territory.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is already the year 2000.
Shao Xuemei finally graduated from university. She learned from the village chief that Song Jiao was in a coastal city. With the addresses for sending money, she embarked on the journey to find her mother without hesitation.
When she stepped into this bustling city, she asked a passerby and was taken directly to Song Jiao's shop.
The scene before her shocked her. Song Jiao was dressed gorgeously, covered in jewels, and her business was booming.
Shao Xuemei was excited. She ran forward quickly and called out sweetly, "Mom..." Her voice was full of anticipation and joy.
Song Jiao was busy entertaining guests. When she heard the voice, she nodded slightly, then turned to look at the person who brought Shao Xuemei over and handed over ten yuan as a thank you.
After that person left, her eyes instantly became indifferent, and she looked at Shao Xuemei coldly: "What are you doing here?"
Shao Xuemei was stunned for a moment, then smiled flatteringly and said, "Of course I came to see you, Mom. I've already graduated from university, and the village chief told me you were here, so I came here."
Her eyes were sparkling, sparkling with longing for the future, and the fantasy of becoming a young lady had already emerged in her mind.
Song Jiao raised her eyebrows, her tone even colder: "What do you want to see me for? If you have something to say, just tell me."
Shao Xuemei swallowed her saliva and mustered up the courage to say, "I'm sending you some local specialties. Also... my brother and sister-in-law are married, and now my sister-in-law is going to have a baby, and the family is short of money..." As she spoke, there was a hint of pleading in her eyes.
Hearing this, Song Jiao curled her lips into a cold smile. "I've already severed ties with him, so whatever happens to him has nothing to do with me! And you, if you don't have anything else to do, just leave! I'll support you through college, and my mission is over."
Shao Xuemei's face turned pale in an instant. She didn't expect Song Jiao to be so decisive.
But the resentment in her heart burned like wildfire, unquenchable. She gritted her teeth and continued to flatter him, "You're my mother, that's an ironclad fact! I'll never go to that shabby place. Look at you, you make a killing, yet you only give us a pittance every month. How can you live with that?"
At the end of her words, the imbalance in her heart erupted like a volcano.
Upon hearing this, Song Jiao's lips curled up into a sarcastic smile, but her eyes were as cold as ice. "According to the law, I've done my best to raise you until you were eighteen, not to mention I even paid for you to finish college! What else do you want? Are you greedy?"
Her voice was filled with disdain and sarcasm. "I worked so hard to earn all this money. What does it have to do with you? If you have the ability, go earn it yourself!"
After saying that, Song Jiao turned and left without even looking at Shao Xuemei.
Only Shao Xuemei was left standing there in a daze, her face turning pale and blue, with mixed feelings in her heart.
Then she shouted at Song Jiao's back, "If you don't want to give it to me, then don't give it to me. Don't forget that it was you who denied me today! Don't beg me when you're old!"
Song Jiao just raised her hand and waved, "Goodbye!"
