The matriarch has returned; that spendthrift son is truly daring!

Song Qingli removed the woman's hand. "Let's begin! I have things to do after this."

The emcee noticed Song Qingli's impatient look and quickly began, "Now, please invite the groom to put the engagement ring on the bride's finger."

Song Qingli glared at the emcee, but hesitated to take the ring from his hand. The emcee stood there awkwardly, at a loss for what to do.

Zhang Xiaoxia smiled and took the ring. "It's okay, it's okay. The ceremony isn't important. What's important is that we're engaged!"

Just as the emcee was about to clap and cheer, Song Qingli snatched the ring from his hand.

Zhang Xiaoxia was overjoyed, thinking he was going to put a ring on her finger. Her heart raced as she gazed at the handsome and refined young man before her.

To everyone's surprise, Song Qingli threw the ring aside the next second.

Zhang Xiaoxia bit her lip, feeling somewhat aggrieved, and unconsciously covered her stomach with her hand.

"You promised me you would give me and the children a home. Are you going back on your word now?"

Song Qingli clenched her fists, her face full of reluctance. Song Guo said, "Song Qingli, behave yourself and take responsibility for your actions."

“Dad!” Song Qingli gritted her teeth.

Zhang Xiaoxia smiled smugly; sure enough, the child in her belly was their Achilles' heel.

Song Qingli picked up the ring and was about to put it on her hand with great reluctance when a cold voice rang out, making the originally quiet wedding banquet seem like a pebble dropped into a calm lake.

"If you don't want to, then you don't want to. Why force it?"

Song Shuyue slowly stood up. Her cold and sharp eyes only briefly swept over Zhang Xiaoxia, but Zhang Xiaoxia felt a chill run down her spine and a cold aura enveloped her body and mind.

Song Qingli stopped what she was doing and looked at the girl.

Song Shuyue: "Since you don't want to get engaged, then why bother?"

Song Qingli looked at her hesitantly, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't. She was sitting at the same table as his parents, so she must be a member of the Song family.

Song Yanzhao tugged at Song Shuyue's hand, signaling her to sit down quickly. Today was their engagement day, how could he be allowed to ruin it?

"If you're worried about the baby in her belly, then I can tell you definitively that the baby in her belly is not yours, and you're not wrong."

These words caused an uproar in the room, and Zhang Xiaoxia stared in shock.

Her parents were even more agitated, standing up and pointing at Song Shuyue, cursing: "Where did this little slut come from? Who do you think you are? How dare you slander my daughter? My daughter is carrying the future offspring of the Song family. If you dare to spread another word, I'll beat you to death."

"Shut up!" Song Shuyue's eyes flashed sharply as she picked up the fruit on the table and threw it precisely at Song Shuyue's stomach.

"Ah! My stomach hurts so much, I'm going to die."

Whether the woman was truly in pain or feigning it, she began to throw a tantrum and roll around on the ground.

Zhang Xiaoxia stood up angrily, "Who are you? Why are you here to ruin my engagement party? What evidence do you have to say that the child in my belly is not Song Qingli's, and that the child in my belly is his?"

Song Qinghong believed Song Shuyue's words without a doubt. When she heard that the child was not her brother's, she immediately knew that her family had been deceived.

"Well, so you dare to team up and deceive us."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaoxia's eyes flashed with panic, and she immediately retorted, "It's clearly your Song family that's bullying us because of your high position and power. You just look down on us because we're poor. You just don't want to take responsibility and you look down on poor people like us."

“My dear daughter, the Song family is going too far. We won’t marry into their family. Let’s go home and raise this child ourselves.”

The woman who was just throwing a tantrum on the ground suddenly flipped herself up and stood up.

He said those words to scare the Song family.

Song Qinghong said bluntly, "Take care, I won't see you off."

"You! You!" Zhang Xiaoxia clutched her stomach, looking heartbroken and deeply wronged.

Song Guo wasn't entirely sure either, so he cautiously asked, "Yueyue, Uncle, if I may be so bold as to ask, how confident are you that the child in your belly isn't from the Song family?"

Song Shuyue said calmly, "What confidence? Nothing ever happened between them, so where would a child come from?"

Upon hearing this, Song Guo recalled his son's words, who had been explaining to him that he had never touched the woman.

But when an innocent girl came to his door with nude photos and other evidence, he initially thought his son was lying.

Song Qingli was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes. "It's true that I never had a child with her. It's not mine. Finally, someone believes me!"

Song Qingli rushed to Song Shuyue's side as if she had grasped a lifeline.

Everyone assumed the child was his, and sometimes even he doubted whether he had actually slept with her that night.

Now! The long-awaited truth finally rang in his ears once again.

Zhang Xiaoxia was also clearly flustered, sobbing, "How can you go back on your word at the last minute? I have evidence. He did sleep with me that night and got me pregnant. He was my first man."

“You Song family are utterly inhuman! You dare to do it but not admit it! You've taken advantage of my daughter's pregnancy, and now you think you can just walk away? Let me tell you, absolutely not! Your Song family must marry my daughter.”

Zhang Xiaoxia's mother, looking agitated, put her hands on her hips and spoke loudly to them.

"Song Qingli, if you dare to be a scumbag, I'll die right here today, along with my unborn child."

Song Qingli hid behind Song Shuyue because she was the only one at the scene who believed him.

Looking into her eyes, he had a gut feeling that she could help him.

Song Shuyue said coldly, "It doesn't matter if you die here today. There are knives on the table. But even if you are left with only one breath, the child in your womb must undergo a paternity test. We will reveal the truth to the public and then sue your parents and relatives in court, making them pay the price for your slander and defamation."

"You! You are so cruel!"

Zhang Xiaoxia clenched her fists tightly. How could she have known that the child in her womb wasn't...?

"At such a young age, I don't know why you would come up with such a thought, to frame someone else for a child that doesn't belong to them. Do you really think that once you marry into the Song family, everything will be fine? You're not thinking that after marrying into the Song family, you can just find an excuse to abort the child, and no one will find out. By then, you'll be the rightful young mistress of the Song family! But have you ever thought about why we, the Song family, should pay for your vicious behavior?"

"You!" Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaoxia completely lost her composure, trembling all over and retreating in fear.

She saw right through everything she was thinking. How did she do that?

Song Qinghong's heart trembled as she listened. So domineering! She was so excited she almost cried. Her family could finally get rid of this woman.
