Chapter 189 Tuanbao, happy birthday!
He Yanting's words made Song Mingyue feel like she was struck by lightning.
But she couldn't believe it: "What do you mean? Not marrying me? Don't forget the agreement between us. Don't you want to know the truth?"
He Yanting did not answer.
Instead, he pointed out the window and said, "There are over 200 media outlets downstairs watching this engagement party. What will be the consequences if I don't show up?"
Song Mingyue clenched her fists and stared coldly at He Yanting: "You don't keep your word."
He Yanting smiled and said, "You were the one who coerced and bribed me first. Business is business. What we care about is only our own interests. Let's not use moral kidnapping."
As he spoke, he flicked the ash off his cigarette gracefully.
After a few seconds of silence, Song Mingyue couldn't help but ask, "What do you want?"
He Yanting curled his lips and said, "Let's be frank. The reason you want to marry me, besides your boring possessiveness, is nothing more than for the inheritance of the Song family."
Song Mingyue pursed her lips and did not refute.
He Yanting continued, "I can help your father obtain the inheritance rights. In exchange, I want to know the truth."
Song Mingyue sneered: "Why should I believe you?"
"No reason, you have no choice. As long as I cancel the engagement, you and your father will definitely fail."
He Yanting put out his cigarette and said calmly, "Besides, do you really think I can't find the truth on my own?"
These words made Song Mingyue tremble all over.
He Yanting stood up with his hands in his pockets, his tall figure exuding a strong sense of oppression.
"The clues you can get are most likely related to the Song family, and the one who was hostile to my mother and related to the Song family was your aunt Song Baoyue."
His voice was steady and resounding.
The color on Song Mingyue's face faded little by little.
"Judging from your expression, I guess I'm right."
He Yanting curled his lips. "After so many years, evidence is indeed hard to find. However, once we have a target, with the power of Shengyu Group, it is only a matter of time before we find the truth."
"So, Miss Song, either you tell me the truth now, and I help your father win the inheritance, and you continue to be the eldest daughter of the Song family, or—"
He smiled slightly, his smile almost ruthless, "I declare that I have no connection with the Song family anymore. Your family has become a lost dog and has lost the right of inheritance. I will find out the truth myself."
After saying that, he raised his wrist and pointed to the dial: "I'll give you five minutes to think about it carefully."
Song Mingyue stood there with an extremely ugly expression on her face.
He Yanting gave her a choice on the surface, but in fact she had no choice at all.
The noise outside was getting louder and louder. Everyone was asking what went wrong at the engagement party and whether He Yanting wanted to cancel the engagement.
With every question she raised, the inheritance rights became further away from her.
Time passes by every second.
He Yanting turned his back, looked out the window, and waited patiently.
Finally, after a moment of silence, Song Mingyue took a deep breath, made a big decision and said, "Okay, I'll tell you the truth."
…
Fifteen minutes later.
The door of the room opened.
Song's mother was almost going crazy with anxiety: "Why did you take so long to come out? Those people are already questioning the cancellation of the ceremony."
Song Mingyue looked at He Yanting.
He Yanting said calmly, "I never planned to get engaged. I can't possibly get engaged to a woman I don't love."
The expression on Song Mingyue's face visibly shattered.
He Yanting said calmly, "But since I promised to help you, I won't break my promise. Mr. Song won't be around for long, so our engagement can continue."
Then he said to Gao Cheng, "Spread the word to the media that Shengyu Group will cooperate with the Song family on a project worth more than 500 billion yuan within a year."
Hearing this, Song's parents and Song Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Such a large-scale cooperation is like a reassurance.
Five minutes later, related news appeared on the Internet.
He Yanting was unable to attend the engagement party due to an urgent matter, but his personal secretary stated that his engagement with Song Mingyue would continue.
[Big deal! Shengyu Group to collaborate with Song family for over 500 billion yuan]
[Takeoff! Song's flagging stock price surges again]
…
He Yanting was not idle either. He went directly to the private nursing home where Mr. Song was.
No one knows what he said to Mr. Song.
In short, half a day later, Mr. Song called a lawyer and formally signed the will, making Song Mingyue's father the first heir of the Song family.

Jiang Xu was a little absent-minded throughout the whole day.
Colleagues are all paying attention to He Yanting and Song Mingyue's engagement ceremony.
Gossip, true and false, is flying everywhere.
Sometimes the two exchanged engagement rings, and sometimes they said He Yanting was not present, and some even said that the two had quarreled on the spot.
When the time finally came, she immediately packed up and went to pick up Tuanbao.
In the elevator, she shook off those messy thoughts and told herself that giving her son a surprise was the most important thing.
When I arrived at the kindergarten, school was not over yet.
Chi Xiaoli sent her a message saying that the hotel private room had been decorated and also sent her a few photos.
Looking at the pink balloons on the wall that were full of girlishness, Jiang Xu smiled helplessly, wondering if Tuanbao would feel speechless.
Soon, it was time to get off work, and Tuanbao and Gu Anan were seen walking out together from afar.
Jiang Xu walked over, and Gu Anan immediately called her, "Hello, Aunt Jiang!"
The little girl had two pigtails and wore a pink plaid skirt. Her face was full of sunshine and she even skipped as she walked.
Jiang Xu smiled and said, "Hello, An An."
Tuanbao, who was standing next to her, was completely different. He looked much quieter and his walking posture was more restrained.
"An An, your mother had something urgent to do, so she asked me to pick you up on the way."
Jiang Xu spoke according to the words Chi Xiaoli taught her.
Gu Anan blinked quickly and winked, "Well, Mom told me, Tuanbao, let's get in the car."
Looking at the clever little Gu Anan, Jiang Xu couldn't help laughing.
In the car, Gu Anan chattered non-stop, trying to attract Tuanbao's attention.
When the car stopped at the restaurant entrance, Tuanbao asked in confusion, "Where is this place?"
Gu Anan held him back and said crisply, "My mother is here, please come in with me."
Tuanbao frowned and looked at Jiang Xu.
Only after Jiang Xu nodded at him did Tuan Bao and Gu Anan get out of the car.
They arrived at the agreed private room. Jiang Xu sent a message to Chi Xiaoli, who replied: [Everything is ready]
Jiang Xu put his hand on the door and winked at Gu Anan.
Gu Anan stepped back and pushed Tuanbao, saying, "Go in!"
At the same time, the door opened.
Bang!
Streamers exploded above my head instantly.
Tuanbao was startled. Chi Xiaoli and Gu Anan surrounded him and shouted, "Tuanbao, happy birthday!"
Tuanbao was stunned, staring at the dazzling decorations on the wall without blinking.
Jiang Xu rubbed his little head and said, "Tuanbao, I didn't scare you, did I?"
Tuanbao subconsciously grabbed her and asked, "What are you doing?"
Jiang Xu pinched his soft cheeks and said, "Happy birthday to you, little darling."
"Birthday?"
Tuanbao pursed his lips, and looked visibly at a loss.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Chi Xiaoli winked at Jiang Xu.
Jiang Xu said to Tuanbao, "Baby, close your eyes."
Tuanbao was a little hesitant and shy, but still closed his eyes obediently.
Jiang Xu walked to the door and took the cake brought by the waiter.
Chi Xiaoli turned off the lights.
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."
A gentle voice sounded like flowing water. Tuanbao opened his eyes curiously and expectantly. When he saw the scene in front of him, his eyes suddenly lit up.
In the dark room, the flickering candlelight on the cake is warm and dreamy.
My mother's face was so beautiful in the candlelight, and her eyes were so gentle, even more touching than any mother described in a fairy tale.
