Song Mai quickly explained: "That's not what I meant..."

Lin Ran took her hand stubbornly:

"I know what you're afraid of, but that's why I have to go with you. Otherwise, how can you cope with it alone? Let's go together and think of solutions together. No matter what the problem is, we can definitely solve it smoothly."

Hearing Lin Ran's words, a warm feeling surged in her heart. Song Maihui held her hand, her eyes full of emotion.

"Okay, let's go together."

As expected, Song's mother was waiting for Song Mai at the company's front desk. As soon as she saw her come out, she rushed forward and grabbed her, as if she was afraid that she would run away.

Lin Ran speechlessly pulled away her hand that was pulling at Song Mai's injured arm:

"Don't worry, she won't run away. Since she said she wanted to talk to you, she won't change her mind at the last minute."

For safety reasons, Song Mai did not walk too far and just sat down in a cafe near the company.

The waiter quickly brought three cups of coffee and placed them in front of the three people.

Song's mother looked at the upscale environment of the coffee shop, took another sip of the steaming latte in front of her, and spit out "Pooh" several times.

"What is this that is so bitter?"

The café clerk smiled awkwardly:

“It’s an Italian latte.”

Song's mother squinted at the clerk and asked, "What the hell is this latte? How much is it?"

"This latte is thirty-nine dollars."

Upon hearing this, Song's mother's eyes widened immediately, and her expression looked very exaggerated.

"What? So expensive! Thirty-nine for just a small cup of bitter water?"

The clerk was extremely embarrassed and the smile on his face was a little stiff.

Song Mai smiled helplessly and asked her to change a cup of hot milk for Song's mother. Only then did she walk away feeling relieved.

But after the clerk left, Song's mother quickly pointed the finger at Song Mai.

"Is this how you usually spend money when you're out? A cup of latte costs thirty-nine dollars. Do you know that this is as much as our family's daily food expenses? I live frugally at home, but you're so extravagant when you're out. No wonder you said you didn't have any money when I asked you. It turns out you did it on purpose and spent all the money on yourself!"

She spoke harshly, with a distorted expression, as if Song Mai was not her biological daughter but an enemy, as if Song Mai had committed a great sin by buying this cup of latte.

Song Mai drank his coffee slowly, not moved at all.

Just when Song's mother was extremely anxious, she said slowly:

"First of all, I hardly drink coffee, and I didn't come here for coffee today. I just wanted to have a place to talk. Secondly, regardless of whether I have money left for coffee after giving you money every time, I earn all the money, and I support the Song family, so it's not too much for me to come here often for a cup of coffee."

Mother Song looked at her with eyes wide open, her eyes full of anger:

"You are my daughter, I raised you. You should give me the money you earn!"

She spoke very loudly and looked like she was about to start a quarrel. Her voice was very irritating in the quiet atmosphere of the cafe and attracted many people to look at her strangely.

Song Mai frowned unhappily: "I'm not here to argue with you. Do you still want to talk? If you don't want to talk, you can leave."

After these words were spoken, Song's mother indeed calmed down.

She snorted coldly: "Tell me, what else do you have to say?"

Song Mai sat up straight:

"I can tell you the solution, and I can help you solve the problem, but no matter what happens to the Song family after this incident, it has nothing to do with me. Don't look for me again, and don't force it on me. I will give you and dad a sum of money every month for living expenses. If you get sick, my brother and I will share the medical expenses.

But I will not pay for other inexplicable expenses, including my brother's family expenses and Xiaohao's tuition. I have my own life. I will not keep cleaning up your mess and paying for your greed. If you can agree, then there is still room for discussion. If you are not willing to agree, then there is nothing to discuss. "

When Song's mother heard this, her face turned pale.

She slapped the table hard, and the cup of hot milk, which she had only taken a few sips of, immediately splashed all over the table.

"I was wondering why you were so kind, but you actually had this in mind. You want to sever ties with us, right? Don't even think about it. I won't agree to that!"

Lin Ran was also convinced by Song's mother's logic.

Song Mai seemed to have never mentioned severing ties from beginning to end, and he also said that he would pay the money that should be paid, but he just didn't want to be taken advantage of. It was outrageous for Song's mother to escalate to severing ties.

Song Mai took a sip of coffee: "When did I say I wanted to break up? Since you don't agree, there's no need to waste time. We have something else to do, so we'll leave first."

As she spoke, she winked at Lin Ran.

Lin Ran understood immediately, picked up his bag and was about to leave.

Seeing this, Song's mother suddenly became anxious and started yelling at Song Mai.

"Xiao Hao is my only grandson and your nephew. You can't just ignore him!"

Song Mai said without turning his head:

"I can take care of it. I have made it very clear just now. It's not that I don't want to save him, but you, as a grandmother, are unwilling to save your own grandson."

Seeing that Song Mai was about to walk away, Song's mother almost shouted with her back teeth gritted in desperation.

"Wait! I promise!"

Song Mai and Lin Ran smiled at each other, then turned around.

The two sat down again, and Song Mai took out a document from his bag and pushed it in front of Song's mother.

"Sign it. Words are not enough. The agreement shall prevail."

Song's mother didn't expect Song Mai to be so well prepared, and she was so angry that her face turned blue.

"I really underestimate you."

She read the agreement carefully twice before signing her name reluctantly.

"Tell me, what do you have in mind?"

After Song Mai confirmed that the agreement was correct, he stuffed it into his bag and said:

"It doesn't have to be solved with money. He is rich and powerful, but don't forget that everyone is subject to the constraints of the law. Marriage is voluntary. If a betrothal gift is given but the marriage fails, the gift can be returned according to the law. He is asking for two million now, which is clearly blackmail. Now that Xiaohao has been arrested and used to threaten him, it is kidnapping. The two things combined are enough to sentence him to ten or eight years."

Song's mother clutched the corner of her clothes tightly, her face showing fear: "Are you talking about calling the police?"

Song Mai nodded: "Yes, he kidnapped Xiao Hao, which constitutes kidnapping. We can call the police. This is a public prosecution case. After the police determine it, they will naturally transfer it to the procuratorate, and the procuratorate will file a public prosecution. As for the two million, we can also file a lawsuit in court at the same time. As long as we win the case, we can return the five hundred thousand."

Listening to Song Mai's words, Song's mother was stunned and actually felt that Song Mai in front of her was a little strange.
