Shen Yumei grabbed Lu Shenxing's hand and pulled hard to break free.

He uttered a few words with difficulty: "Let me go! Let me go now! I can't breathe!"

Lu Shenxing did not let go, and dragged Shen Yumei to the podium, and said word by word in front of everyone: "Many of you here feel sorry for this person, and think that what she said makes sense. No matter what, the Song family raised Song Mingyi back then. When the Song family is in trouble, Song Mingyi should do her best to help..."

"But before you say that, please take a look at the information I have."

As he spoke, he took out a stack of information from the bodyguard following behind him and handed it to the Li family.

Soon, the information was distributed to all the guests present.

"Take a good look. This is Ming Yi's life in the Song family! There are also records of neighbors who couldn't bear to see her being abused and called the police! There are also records of her hospitalizations over the years. After Ming Yi turned sixteen, there were no medical records, but that doesn't mean the Song family started to treat her well."

"They thought it was a waste of money to send Ming Yi to the hospital, so Ming Yi, who was only 16 years old, could only curl up in the room alone and recover slowly regardless of whether she was seriously injured or sick."

"There were so many times when she almost couldn't make it..."

As Lu Shenxing spoke, the guests present flipped through the records in their hands.

Every time they read one, they were shocked.

Everyone in a wealthy family has seen a lot of filth.

But this is the first time I have seen a girl bullied like this.

"It turns out this woman has such a dark heart! I just felt sorry for her and thought Song Mingyi was making a big fuss!"

"That's right, only Song Mingyi is magnanimous. If it were me, the day I become successful and powerful, I would be the first to send all the Song family members to hell!"

"I really don't know how a woman like this can have the nerve to blackmail me. If it were me, I would have found a place to hide long ago! I really don't know why that Song guy would marry such a woman. Even if he married a random person, it would be better than her!"

Everyone pointed at Shen Yumei, not disguising their contempt in their eyes.

Shen Yumei couldn't stand being pointed at by so many people. She couldn't help but step forward and wanted to climb Ming Jinyan's arm to beg: "Ming Shao, don't you feel pity for me and want to give me money? Please help me again!"

It would have been fine if she didn't say anything, but once she spoke, it would have been equivalent to pushing Ming Jinyan to the opposite side of everyone.

After all, he kept saying that he was Song Mingyi's fiancé, but in the end he defended Shen Yumei, no matter what his purpose was.

Ming Jinyan's expression became particularly ugly. He pushed Shen Yumei away and said loudly, "Shut up! If I knew that Ming Yi had suffered so much injustice when she was in the Song family, I would be the first one to break your neck!"

Then Ming Jinyan walked up to Song Mingyi and said with a guilty look on his face: "Mingyi, I'm sorry, I didn't understand the situation clearly, I wrongly blamed you, please forgive me this time, okay?"

Song Mingyi looked up at Ming Jinyan and said, "Okay, of course, I forgive you."

Ming Jinyan's expression suddenly lit up. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Song Mingyi say again: "You and I are just acquaintances. I don't care what you think of me. So whether you defend Shen Yumei or blame me, that's your personal behavior."

"Anyway, many people have been like this for so many years. If I care about everything, wouldn't it be too tiring?"

When the guests around heard Song Mingyi's words, they all praised Song Mingyi for his magnanimity.

Ming Jinyan's expression was particularly ugly.

He understood what Song Mingyi meant. She was simply treating him as an outsider and excluding him.

How could this be possible? He was determined to marry Song Mingyi.

So he sighed and said, "Ming Yi, you are right to be angry with me. After all, it is my fault. But please don't say that. It will make me very sad. You are my fiancée!"

Song Mingyi quickly said, "Fiancée? Sorry, I have never been your fiancée. Maybe your father and grandmother haven't told you yet, but that doesn't matter."

"Now I will tell you again in front of everyone, the Li family and the Ming family have never had an engagement, and you are not my fiancé."

Ming Jinyan couldn't believe it: "Really? How is this possible?"

Then he laughed again: "Ming Yi, I know you are angry. You can hit me a few times, and I promise I won't say a word. But I beg you, please don't deny our engagement, otherwise I will be very sad."

Before Song Mingyi could speak, Madam Li said, "Mingyi was not speaking in anger. Our two families do not have an engagement."

"Then why did my father tell me that I can only marry a girl from the Li family in this life?"

"It's just your father's obsession," Madam Li said bluntly, "If you don't believe me, go back and ask your father if our two families have a marriage certificate and a witness. If not, then where does the engagement come from?"

In an instant, Ming Jinyan's expression became extremely ugly.

He forced a smile and said, "It shouldn't be like this! Before today, everyone knew that Ming Yi was my fiancée. Now you're saying that the engagement doesn't count, then what am I? Grandma Li, you love me the most, you can't do this to me."

Old Madam Li couldn't help but sigh when she saw Ming Jinyan's distraught look.

She knew that the child adopted into the Ming family was in a bad situation and felt sorry for him.

But compared with the heartache he felt for his own granddaughter, this little bit of heartache is nothing.

Madam Li said, "Actually, this is not a bad idea."

"You and Ming Yi are not engaged, which means you can pursue your own happiness in the future. Find a girl you love and who loves you, and live a peaceful and stable life with her. This is the happiness you deserve!"

Old Madam Li truly loves Ming Jinyan.

In this world, perhaps passionate love is enviable, but a plain and simple life is the final destination.

Old Madam Li felt sorry for Ming Jinyan living under someone else's roof, so she hoped that he could find his own happiness and have a home of his own.

Unfortunately, Ming Jinyan, whose heart was filled with desire for power, did not appreciate it at all.

He took a deep breath and said, "Whether this engagement is true or false, Ming Yi is my fiancée in my heart, and I will never give up!"

He looked at Song Mingyi, his eyes filled with tenderness, and said, "Mingyi, I believe that one day you will see my true heart."

"Whether you like it or not, the person you will choose in the end will only be me!"

"Let's start with Shen Yumei today!"

As he spoke, Ming Jinyan's eyes fell on Shen Yumei.

Shen Yumei was alert: "What are you going to do!"

Before Shen Yumei could finish her words, Ming Jinyan grabbed her neck and squeezed her hard.

Ming Jinyan threw Shen Yumei to the ground.
