She asked Liang Lihua while giving her a death stare, "Chenzhi, just now Yu Zidong mentioned that his company is having some issues. Is this your doing?"

Yu Qianying was not stupid. On the contrary, she was very perceptive and connected the dots together.

Qi Chengzhi admitted directly, "Given Liang Lihua had the guts to do that. If I didn't take action, they might even bully you guys in the future."

"Chengzhi, don't have to hold back for my sake. Destroy their company!" Yu Qianying said seethingly.

Yu Zidong's heart dropped, while his face turned ashen.

Yu Qianying hung up and charged towards Liang Lihua, "Liang Lihua! I'll tear you apart!"

Liang Lihua subconsciously avoided her by moving backward. However, she tripped and fell onto the sofa.

Song Donglin rushed forward to hold back Yu Qianying. Her eyes were reddened with an expression as if she was going to eat someone alive. "Why did you stop me! Do you know what she did to Song Yu! This woman yanked Song Yu's hair in the cafe while she berated her! She accused her of being a mistress and seduced Yu Keyao's man. You liar! Both you and your daughter are delusional! The whole time, Qi Chengzhi never once liked Yu Keyao! It was you guys who chased after him one-sidedly, running around like a clown. How dare you twist the truth!

She humiliated Song Yu while she pulled her hair in front of the whole cafe. Those who don't know will think that she's telling the truth. What will they think of our daughter!" Yu Qianying pointed at Liang Lihua with a flushed face, "Such a shameless woman had the galls to come and apologize? If it wasn't for your company, will you guys come to us and seek for forgiveness? Specially came here to return the money? You put it in such a decent way! I think that you just want to use this opportunity to let me forgive you so that I'll put in a good word for you guys in front of Qi Chengzhi!"

Liang Lihua lost her composure and kept shunning away to the side. Her mouth was trembling but she could not utter a word. She did not manage to keep up with Yu Qianying.

She never expected Yu Qianying to be this furious. Moreover, she did not see it coming that Yu Qianying would be so smart to find Qi Chengzhi straight away.

The single factor that made her so obedient and without retaliation was due to Yu Qianying's statement to Qi Chengzhi, where she wanted him to shred their company apart.

Liang Lihua was really afraid this time around. Her face was not as important as having a good life. If the company closed down, she could not imagine the criticisms and discrimination that await her in the future.

Even if she had to endure Yu Qianying's lecture and beating, she was willing to do it as long as they could save their company.

Most importantly, if the company really closed down, Yu Zidong would blame her for it.

This was because she was the one who created this mess.

In fact, it never crossed her mind that Qi Chengzhi would make such a huge move for the sake of Song Yu. She also did not expect Yu Qianying would disregard their familial relationship just like that.

Liang Lihua broke into tears with a trembling mouth. She cried because she was genuinely fearful.

She stood up shakily and said to Yu Qianying, "Qianying, I was not in my right mind at that time and couldn't think straight. Can you just see me as a crazy lady and ignore my outrageous behavior, please?"

"Get lost! If I whacked Yu Keyao on the street and humiliated her, accusing her of being a shameless mistress, won't you risk your life to fight me? You think that you can brush this off just by saying this and pretend that it never happened? I fu*king regretted lending you guys money for your business startup back then! It's better if I'd raised a dog, you guys are not even comparable to dogs or pigs! You said that you are grateful to us but you turned around and hit our daughter! Is this how you guys express your gratitude?"

"What if I kneel down to you? I am really sorry," Liang Lihua sobbed, "Qianying, we're still a family. It's fine if you want to scold me or hit me for everything that happened, but Zidong is your brother, can you bear to do this to him? Zidong always mentioned to me about the childhood you guys shared. After you guys went bankrupt and moved here, you went under the radar.

During the days when we lost contact with you guys, Zidong always reminiscent the past. When you guys were still young, no matter what food you've gotten, even if it's as small as a fruit candy, you'll definitely leave one piece for him. When Zidong got punished by your grandparents, you'll cry and beg on his behalf. When you got bullied by others, Zidong was the one who fought for you. Both of you were so close to each other back then, do you really want to do this now?"

Tears filled up Yu Qianying's reddened eyes. Liang Lihua thought that Yu Qianying so touched after reminiscing her childhood events.

However, Yu Qianying replied, "That was before, my brother loved me and treated me sincerely back then. Not as shameless as he is now! My old second brother no longer exists! The old him doesn't have a wife like you who kept feeding him misleading information that led to our estranged relationship!"

"I took the cheque just now because the money belonged to us and I can accept it at ease. You guys should have returned to us anyway! For the remaining sum, you can return to us if you want, I couldn't care less if you don't, but I think probably you guys can't even afford it in the future!" Yu Qianying said icily.

"Qianying, I know that it's my fault. I'm truly sorry, it's all because of my silliness. What should I do for you to forgive me? What if I let you hit me back on behalf of Song Yu? Come on, hit me!" Liang Lihua walked over and grabbed Yu Qianying while she gave an expression where she was prepared to receive any punishment.

Yu Qianying did not hold back at all. She shook her hand off from her grip forcefully and yanked Liang Lihua's hair, "How dare you hit Song Yu! What rights do you have! How dare you spew lies when your daughter is the shameless one who kept pestering my son-in-law!"

"Qianying!" Song Donglin held Yu Qianying back hurriedly and pulled her backward to prevent her from fighting.

"You guys should leave!" Song Donglin said to Yu Zidong and Liang Lihua coldly, "Qianying is right, we'll keep the money since it was the debt that you owed us. We have nothing more to say."

"Donglin…" Yu Zidong called out.

Song Donglin interrupted him, "I'm holding Qianying back is because I don't want her to stoop down to the same level as Liang Lihua and depreciate her status. This doesn't mean that I'll easily forgive you guys. You guys are too shameless to be worthy of my forgiveness. If you guys still don't leave, I'll call Chengzhi and let him come over personally."

"Qianying…" Yu Zidong called pitifully.

"Get lost!" Yu Qianying said while tears rolled down her cheeks.

Yu Zidong clenched his jaws and left with Liang Lihua with a gloomy expression.

After they left, Yu Qianying sad down and continued to cry for almost half a day. Song Donglin did not try to comfort her. He knew that it would be pointless to do that and just let Yu Qianying cry to her heart's content.

After that, Yu Qianying took out the cheque from her pocket and passed it to Song Donglin while she was still sobbing, "Lao Song, the money that they borrowed was yours. You decide what to deal with it. I… I'm so sorry. If it weren't for them, you won't need to suffer so much after your bankruptcy."

Song Donglin received the check and said, "Actually, it wasn't that bad. I think you can bank in this sum into Song Yu's account. Song Yu's marrying Qi Chengzhi, but our family can't afford a hefty dowry. Even though the Qi family may not be impressed with just five million dollars, at least our daughter was not married into their family empty-handedly. The amount may not be much but it's still satisfactory."

Yu Qianying nodded and agreed since she had no opinions on things that would benefit Song Yu.

That night, Song Yu received a message out of the blue with the notification that her account was credited with five million.

Song Yu was shocked. No one would be able to stay calm if someone transferred such a hefty amount of money into their account.

It so happened that Qi Chengzhi just came out from the bathroom. Song Yu asked him, "You transferred money into my account?"

Qi Chengzhi arched his eyebrow while he dried his hair. He said in a calm tone, "I gave you all my cards, why would I transfer money to you?"

It was the next morning after they got married. When Song Yu woke up, Qi Chengzhi was in the bathroom. Through the glass door of the bathroom, she could see Qi Chengzhi looking in the mirror while he shaved.

When she got out of bed, she glanced at the nightstand and saw a few property ownership certificates and bank cards. Below them was a written note:

Dear wife, these are all of my assets. My entire income and the profits from investments are all in these cards. I'll hand them over to you now.

Then, the note below was complemented with passwords for each bank card.

Song Yu was fully awakened now. She did not know the actual amount, but she knew that if she totaled these up, it would amount to an astounding figure.

She did not calculate them. Until now, she was still unaware of the actual amount of money she got.

Qi Chengzhi gave these to her out of trust and it was a gesture from him. She was already satisfied with that and did not pay much attention to the money.

She picked up those property ownership certificates and realized that each one had both their names on it.

Some of the properties were part of his investment, the land that he owned had office buildings, hotels and shop lots. Song Yu passed by these places a few times but she never knew that all of those belonged to Qi Chengzhi. Now, her name was added to all of these properties as well.

She thought of how other wives would try means and ways to control their husbands' finances.

However, she did not even say anything yet or try to make any changes after marriage, Qi Chengzhi automatically gave her access to everything.

When Qi Chengzhi came out from the bathroom, Song Yu looked at him smilingly.

He glanced at the property ownership certificates in her hand and knew that she saw them. He sat beside her with a grin and placed his palm on her naked back.

His body was scented with the refreshing smell of aftershave. When he closed in on her, she could smell the minty flavor of the toothpaste.

His face was soft and fresh after applying the moisturizer, which was completely opposite from her sloppy look right out of the bed.

"You saw that?" He muttered, his raspy voice had a hint of tease.

Those deep-set black eyes flashed through a gentle beam. Song Yu could not help blushing under his gaze.

"I thought men always fought for their financial independence? Why did you give it up willingly?" She asked, chuckling slightly.

"Since you are my wife, it's just a matter of course for me to give it to you. I like the feeling of being controlled by you," Qi Chengzhi's gaze was so tender that Song Yu felt a little embarrassed.

Song Yu laughed and hugged his neck, "That means in this lifetime, you won't dare to betray me? If you dare, I'll wipe out your assets."

Qi Chengzhi chuckled lightly. He lowered his head and kissed the corner of her eyes gently with his soft, minty lips. "That's why I gave it all to you, also to remind myself that I should never betray you."

Song Yu could not resist grinning when she thought of that morning.

She passed her phone over to let Qi Chengzhi look, "See this."

She opened her laptop after passing her phone to Qi Chengzhi and went to the bank's website. After searching her account statement, she discovered that it was transferred from Yu Qianying's bank account.

"Where did they get such a huge amount!" Song Yu said in shock. She called back home immediately, "Mum, my bank account was credited with five million dollars and it showed that it was from your account. What's happening?"

"Oh, Yu Zidong and his wife came today. They wanted to return the money that our family borrowed him in the past. Even though it was not fully returned, it's considered part of the loan," Yu Qianying said.

Song Yu frowned. She understood quickly the reason behind Yu Zidong returning the money all of a sudden after all these years.

"Mum, are you guys okay. Did they bother you guys?" Song Yu asked.

"We're fine. Why would we be angry when they come to return us money?" Yu Qianying did not mention the fight in the afternoon as she did not want to worry Song Yu. "However, if they thought that this would make us forgive them and get onto Qi Chengzhi's good side, they are very wrong. I accepted the money confidently because that was ours to start with. There's nothing embarrassing about that and we don't owe them anything. We won't make amends with them just because we accepted the money. Song Yu, you don't have to worry about this. I've never thought of forgiving that shameless bunch anyway."

"I know," Song Yu nodded, "but why you gave me the money? Isn't it better if you guys kept it for yourselves?"

"This is your dowry from us," Yu Qianying said. She cut off Song Yu right after she called out "mum", "Don't reject this in such a hurry. We were already worried about how much dowry we should give you so that it'll be presentable. If we give you all of our savings, the amount would be so insignificant that others may not even bother. That'll make us seem stingy instead.

We won't let you marry over to their family with nothing. At first, I was thinking to take out three hundred thousand from our savings. It's better than nothing, at least we've tried. Since Yu Zidong returned us five million today, it's just right for your dowry. It'll seem presentable even if this amount doesn't mean much to the Qi family. This amount of money can at least support you and let them know that we're not taking advantage of them.

Don't argue on this anymore. Even if you're not going to spend the money, I feel more secure keeping the money with you," Yu Qianying said, "Is Qi Chengzhi beside you? Pass the phone to him."

Song Yu gave Qi Chengzhi the phone and said, "Mum wants to speak to you."

Qi Chengzhi took the phone and sat down beside Song Yu. "Mum," he called.

Song Yu could not hear what Yu Qianying spoke on the phone, but Qi Chengzhi was paying attention and replied with "uhm" from time to time.

He hung up the phone after a while. Song Yu asked curiously, "What did mum tell you?"

"Nothing, she just told me to accept the dowry," Qi Chengzhi glanced at her with a gentle gaze, "Since mum and dad insisted, you should accept it. It'll solve their worries. Later on, you can return them slowly without them realizing it. For example, you can return the money by adding it to their monthly allowance that you give. They won't suspect anything if you increased the allowance since you're now married to me."

Only then Song Yu felt at ease.

The next day, Song Yu was about to go out and have lunch together with Ruan Danchen. After they left the office and walked through the long hallway, they saw Liang Lihua standing alone at the reception counter

When Liang Lihua saw Song Yu, she glanced towards the side as if she was embarrassed to meet her.

Song Yu's expression stiffened for a moment before the walked towards the elevator without looking at Liang Lihua.

"Song Yu!" Liang Lihua scurried over, her face still showing embarrassment and fear.

She blocked in front of the elevator, obstructing the other colleagues from entering as well.

Liang Lihua grabbed Song Yu's hand and said, "Song Yu, I've realized that I was wrong for what I did last time. I shouldn't have hit you, I'm so sorry."

Song Yu frowned and tried very hard to escape from her hand but Liang Lihua's grip was very firm. After Song Yu managed to free her hand, her wrist and the back of her hand was reddened.

She did not speak, she just massaged her wrist gently. Out of nowhere, Liang Lihua took her wrist hurriedly and held it gently while she massaged her wrist with one hand. "I'm sorry, so sorry. I didn't hurt you, did I? I didn't mean to!"

Song Yu shook her off immediately and backed away. "What are you trying to do?"

"Song Yu, I'm here to apologize to you. It's my fault for hitting you and accusing you. I'm sorry," Liang Lihua said in a sobbing voice and teary face. She stepped forward to try to hold Song Yu's hand again.

"Stop touching me!" Song Yu avoided her with a frown.

"Okay, I won't. Song Yu, can you forgive me? It's my own fault. Song Yu, please don't hate me," Liang Lihua balled her fist and covered it with another and made a begging gesture while she spoke.

Song Yu could not understand why Liang Lihua was acting so obsequiously. She said indifferently, "I'm no longer bothered by that incident, please leave."

Then, the elevator door opened. There was already a crowd gathering at the entrance of the elevator, most of them were her colleagues from different departments. Song Yu did not want to be a joke in front of all these people. She passed by Liang Lihua to enter the elevator, but Liang Lihua blocked her path once again.

She bowed and thanked her, "Thank you, thank you. I know that you're a generous person. Song Yu, since you've forgiven me, can Qi Chengzhi let out company go?"

Song Yu was still guessing why Liang Lihua suddenly came crying to apologize. If she wanted to please her, why would she humiliate her and pull her hair the last time they met?

Song Yu stopped and said, "I don't question his business. No matter what's the reason behind Qi Chengzhi launching the attack towards your company, it's not ordered by me. That's why I can't help you with this."

"Why can't you?" Liang Lihua was desperate, "He did this to our company for your sake as revenge! Your uncle lost all his investments, even the money from his clients. If we don't try to compensate them, our company will be over! Song Yu, I'm begging you. Since you don't blame me anymore, can you ask Qi Chengzhi to stop?"

"Ms. Liang, I'm sure Chengzhi has his reason behind all his actions. Even if he wanted revenge and took it out on you guys, or it was because of business matters, I won't ask him to stop for anyone. I would never comment on the way he deals with his work. I told you that I don't blame you for the incident is because I think that it's not worthy to hold a grudge on people like you. It's not worth it to be angry with you," Song Yu said. There were more people surrounding them, no one entered the elevator even though it arrived. All of them were watching their exchange.
