"You are the one who should be struck by lightning!" Steward Qian roared angrily, "What you did to the young lady and the lady back then is too heinous to be recorded in history and is intolerable. How dare you blame the young lady now? Or do you think that we will back down just because of your nonsense?"

Others also said: "If you hadn't done such ruthless things over the years, how could the Song family be in the current situation? How dare you come to the Li family to cause trouble!"

"Yes! As long as we are here, we will never allow you to wrongly accuse the young lady!"

The servants became more and more agitated as they spoke.

As soon as Shen Yumei came in, she started to make trouble for them. Many people were fired by Shen Yumei early on. These few people were able to stay until the end because they were always careful in doing things.

During the last five years they were in the Song family, they and the eldest daughter huddled together for warmth.

To be frank, they all treat the eldest daughter as their own child.

It is human instinct to protect one's children. How could they allow Shen Yumei to slander their children?

Shen Yumei's face changed, she sat on the ground, slapped her thigh and cried, "Ah! The Li and Lu families relied on their power to buy off these restless servants and accused me in public! This is going to kill me as a stepmother!"

"Is there any kindhearted person out there who can be fair and just? Please help me! I don't have any bad intentions, I just want a way to survive! Is this too much to ask?"

Shen Yumei's voice was so sharp that it hurt people's eardrums, and many people couldn't help but frown.

Song Mingyi didn't react at first, just looked at Shen Yumei coldly.

She had seen Shen Yumei throw a tantrum countless times over the years, and every time she did that, she was able to get some benefit from it, forcing her to retreat step by step until she had nowhere to retreat.

Song Mingyi said coldly: "Shen Yumei, have you forgotten that Song Mingyi is now an adult and is no longer the child you could manipulate at will?"

"If you know what's best for you, shut up now. If you keep throwing a tantrum, don't blame me for having someone gag you! Don't think that everyone here will stand up for you. A woman with a vicious heart is not worthy of anyone here saying even a word for you!"

"Auntie, please be obedient and stop making trouble, otherwise Mingyi will really be angry. How about this, you come with me, I will take good care of you, and I will consider it as my filial piety on behalf of Mingyi."

Ming Jinyan walked in slowly, wearing a white suit.

He was handsome and attracted a lot of people's attention as soon as he walked into the banquet hall.

Even though the Ming family has gone downhill in recent years, Ming Jinyan's excellence is still noticed by others, and he is the dream lover of many rich girls.

However, in today's occasion, no one would step forward no matter how much they liked Ming Jinyan.

He walked up to Shen Yumei and extended his hand.

"Auntie, since you consider yourself Ming Yi's stepmother, you are also a member of a wealthy family. It is too inappropriate for you to sit on the ground like this."

Shen Yumei looked at Ming Jinyan in surprise and asked, "Who are you?"

"I'm Ming Yi's fiancé. Since you are her elder, you are also my elder. As an elder, I think you must wish Ming Yi the best and not let her lose face, right?"

"Fiancé?" Shen Yumei was very surprised: "Song Mingyi is already married, how can there be a fiancé?"

"It doesn't matter where the fiancé comes from. What's important is that today's matter can be resolved and Aunt Shen can achieve her goal. Do you think I'm right?"

Shen Yumei thought about it and realized that this was the truth.

Anyway, her purpose is to get money, and she doesn't care about Song Mingyi's relationship with others.

Shen Yumei said, "Money, how much money can you give me?"

Ming Jinyan handed a check to Shen Yumei and said, "Here is a check for 10 million. It is my little token of my gratitude to Ming Yi as her fiancé."

"Ten million?" Shen Yumei was furious: "Are you treating me like a beggar? This little money is not even enough to fill the gaps between our teeth!"

As she spoke, Shen Yumei heavily opened the check for 10 million and said loudly: "Song Mingyi owes our Song family, so Song Mingyi must take care of it to the end! If she refuses to take care of it, I will never give up!"

Lu Shenxing said coldly: "How do you want Ming Yi to control you?"

"I want Song Mingyi to return the Song Group to me!"

"Is this your only condition?"

"Of course not! I want another 50 billion... no, 100 billion in cash! Song Mingyi is so outstanding, only this amount of money can buy off the Song family's kindness to her!"

Everyone couldn't help but gasp.

Although all those present are from wealthy families with no shortage of assets, and any family present is worth 100 billion, the problem is that this 100 billion includes a lot of assets.

Most families cannot afford 100 billion in cash.

But Shen Yumei asked for so much money...

Shen Yumei said sarcastically: "Why, is it that your Lu family can't afford so much money, or do you think Song Mingyi is not worth so much money? Or, in Lu Shenxing's eyes, she, Song Mingyi, is a money-loser?"

Lu Shenxing said: "In my eyes, Song Mingyi is a priceless treasure. Not to mention 100 billion, even 200 billion, I think she is worth it, but..."

As he spoke, Lu Shenxing raised the corner of his mouth, with a sarcastic smile on his face, and said: "Do you deserve it? Why do you think you deserve so much money?"

Shen Yumei's face turned pale and blue, she was angry and annoyed, and scolded: "Lu Shenxing, don't go too far! Are you really going to make Song Mingyi the target of public criticism? "

Lu Shenxing smiled when he heard this. He said, "It seems that although you are in Haicheng, you don't know me very well. Did you know that I have a nickname, King Lu?"

"Do you think people call me that just for fun?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Shenxing grabbed Shen Yumei's neck.

His eyes were cold and he exuded a murderous aura, as if he couldn't wait to kill Shen Yumei in the next second.

Shen Yumei wanted to scream, but her neck was stuck tightly and she couldn't make a single sound.

The air in her chest was being squeezed, and she felt like she was being suffocated. She had a feeling that she would be strangled to death by Lu Shenxing in the next second...

"Why do you think I let you jump around today? I just didn't want to see blood on Ming Yi's good day."

"But if you insist on seeking death, then I won't be polite." Lu Shenxing said, and his fingers suddenly exerted force, as if he would crush Shen Yumei's throat in the next second.

"Ming Yi is the girl I hold in my heart. I hold her in my hands for fear of dropping her, and in my mouth for fear of her melting. I carefully protect her, fearing that she will suffer the slightest injustice. But you, a mere stepmother, dare to cause trouble for her like this!"

"Tell me, who gave you the courage?"
