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

"You bastard, I'll beat you to death!" An Linsheng clenched his fist and slammed it at An Qiyao.

An Qiyao reached out to defend himself, but he was still punched several times in the head. His head was spinning, and he angrily pushed away the person in front of him.

"Enough! Don't think you can hit me just because you're my dad."

An Lin was so angry that she could hardly breathe, her resentful gaze fixed on him.

"You actually went gambling? When did I ever teach you to gamble? Tell me!"

An Qiyao snorted coldly, straightened his clothes, and said dismissively, "What do you mean by gambling? This is starting a business, what do you know?"

An Linsheng was about to strike again when Li Jinhong quickly ran over to stop him.

"Alright, are you going to beat him to death? He's your son. Just don't gamble next time."

An Linsheng looked at the two of them with exasperation, "It's all your fault for not disciplining the child properly. If I find out he's gambling again, I'll teach him a lesson."

An Qiyao began to look around the dilapidated and cramped house. "You don't mean to make me live in this place, do you? It's run-down, old, and smells terrible. How did you end up here? Why can't we go back to the villa? Did you really get divorced?"

An Qiyao questioned An Linsheng.

An Linsheng turned around. "Let's not worry about this for now."

An Qiyao: "I don't care? Can I not care? Now you want me to live in a place like this? Dad, you are the president of Song Group. You have worked your whole life to the death for Song Group. Don't tell me that you didn't get a penny in the end."

Li Jinhong pulled at him, saying, "Shut up, shut up!"

An Linsheng was furious. He couldn't believe that Song Xue'er was really so heartless.

Before long, she will be begging him to come back.

"Oh dear, this old man is exhausted! Hurry up and help me inside."

Luo Xiaoxue walked in, panting, pulling a sack of things.

Li Jinhong quickly ran over to help, "Mom, what brings you here?"

Luo Xiaoxue slammed her things down with a "bang!" and said, "What do you mean, 'Why am I here?' My son is here, why can't I come?"

As she spoke, Luo Xiaoxue quickly went over and turned An Linsheng back to his normal position.

"Son, what exactly happened? You really divorced Song Xue'er? Are you out of your mind? Why did you divorce her? Don't you know her family is rich? Is it all for that woman, Li Jinhong?"

An Linsheng shook off his mother's hand. "That's enough. Why aren't you staying here? What are you doing here?"

Luo Xiaoxue got angry as soon as she heard about it and plopped down on the floor.

"Stop talking. I was kicked out this morning. They said the house belonged to Song Xue'er. What's going on? Isn't that house yours? I went to find Song Xue'er, and she kicked me out. What kind of person is she? Doesn't she know I'm your mother?"

An Linsheng stared at her in disbelief. "What did you say? You were kicked out?"

Luo Xiaoxue: "Yes! They said you're divorced, and our good days are over!"

An Linsheng's fists cracked as he clenched his fists, his face contorted in a ferocious grimace. "That bitch Song Xue'er, how dare she!"

"Let's eat something first, and then we can talk about it after we've eaten."

Li Jinhong cooked noodles, but An Qiyao only glanced at them before slamming the door and leaving.

Having grown accustomed to delicacies, they had absolutely no appetite for the plain noodles in front of them.

Luo Xiaoxue kept asking for something delicious, but Li Jinhong ignored her.

An Linsheng was also calling people he knew before for help, completely ignoring her and impatient with her nonsense.

Night falls

Angie arrived at the cottage.

Standing at the door, I heard Li Jinhong and An Linsheng arguing inside.

"What did you say? You mean Song Xue'er really took back the company? What about our money?" Li Jinhong asked loudly.

Just now, she learned that An Linsheng really had nothing left. He had promised before that even if they divorced, it wouldn't shake his position in the Song Group.

"Money, money, money, all you ever think about is money. What happened to all the money I gave you before? You spent 50 million on a fake product, and you still have the nerve to talk to me about money."

Li Jinhong: "How can that be the same? What is my little bit of money compared to yours? An Linsheng, tell me, you've been with the Song family for over twenty years and haven't received a single penny? What about all of our money over the years!"

An Linsheng: "I don't want to argue with you."

Seeing his expression, Li Jinhong sneered and pressed him, "You're not thinking that Song Xue'er will remarry you, are you? Answer me, is that right?"

An Linsheng said he was bored and was about to leave when Li Jinhong grabbed his hand, exasperated.

"It really is true, An Linsheng, so that's what you really think. No wonder you're not in a hurry at all. So you're still thinking about that bitch. Have you never thought about being with me? Have you?"

An Linsheng glanced at her disdainfully. "I don't want to argue with you. I'm tired."

Li Jinhong burst into wild laughter, "An Linsheng, are you even human? For the past twenty years, haven't you been using me all along?"

An Linsheng roared, "Use her? What do you have to use, Li Jinhong? Don't you know your own worth? Don't you know how to weigh things? Do I need to tell you? In terms of looks, presence, and character, how can you compare to her? In the past, I might have allowed you to be my wife because you've been with me for so long. But if you have to blame someone, blame your dishonestness. You stole things and made a name for yourself as a thief in front of so many rich people. Do you think I would allow a thief to be my wife if I ever became successful?"

Li Jinhong was devastated and stepped back in disbelief, her eyes filled with disappointment and anger.

"An Linsheng, you're not human! You don't actually believe Song Xue'er would remarry you, do you? Let me tell you, it's impossible!"

"Enough!" Just then, An Qiqi walked in and shouted.

His sharp, cold gaze fell upon the two of them.

"You still have the mind to argue here? The main issue now is figuring out how to take back the Song Group. Dad, we've ended up in this situation because of Song Shuyue. She knew everything from the beginning, so she's been plotting all along."

An Qiqi felt immense hatred when she thought of Song Shuyue's arrogant, aloof eyes.

"Qiqi, do you mean everything is Song Shuyue's doing?" An Linsheng was enlightened when he heard this.

Yes, everything should have gone according to his plan, but an accident happened, starting from when Song Shuyue injured him.

An Qiqi: "That's right! It's all her fault, so our key is to get rid of her. The others are nothing to worry about."

An Linsheng's eyes were sharp and sinister. "She really deserves to die."

An Qiqi sneered like a venomous snake, her voice terrifying. "I've already made the arrangements. Song Shuyue is doomed. The Song family will be thrown into chaos, and Song Yanbai and Song Xue'er will be unable to attend to the company. This is our best opportunity."
