My life is ending, and my aloof CEO wife is taking revenge on me.

Chapter 223 Direct Confrontation with Madam Song

So I patted Song Yafei on the shoulder and said, "Go to the car and wait for me. I'll chat with Mrs. Song for a bit. It's alright, don't worry."

Neither she nor Madam Song can hurt me anymore.

Seeing that Song Yafei did not object, Madam Song turned around and gave a haughty snort, holding her head high, looking like a rooster ready for battle.

If I weren't involved, I probably would have laughed too.

I walked past Song Yafei and followed behind Madam Song.

We returned to the spot where the two women had been talking earlier, to the same table. Mrs. Song sat on the sofa and turned to look outside.

She stood tall and proud, as if afraid that no one would notice how wealthy her family was.

I sat down on the sofa opposite her. As soon as I sat down, Mrs. Song turned to look at me, as if she wanted to have a serious talk with me face to face.

Mrs. Song spoke to me with great arrogance, completely disregarding me. "You should know very well why I asked you to come here."

Even though she didn't say anything, I had a pretty good idea of ​​what it was about my relationship with Song Yafei.

But she didn't say it outright, so I pretended not to know.

I shook my head.

Mrs. Song looked as if she had expected this, "Originally, I respected you for being a man when you divorced Yafei."

"But after the divorce, you'll be strangers. Why are you still entangled with each other?"

Entanglement?

If we're talking about entanglement, it's Song Yafei, not me.

I think she should know all of this if she had done the investigation.

But saying that is just a way to shift all the blame onto me.

Mrs. Song continued, "You moved back to the villa in a high-profile manner, letting the world know that you two are together again."

"You've been using the Song Group's name to make your restaurant business thrive. Do you think I don't know what you're up to?"

Planning?

What's the plan?

I was stunned by what she said. What else could she possibly do to me?

I'm not surprised she would think that way.

From the moment Song Yafei and I got back together until our marriage, Mrs. Song was after my talent, which she believed could help the Song family.

Later, when the Song family became successful, they no longer needed me and wanted to sideline me.

She values ​​money highly, so everyone else in her eyes values ​​money highly as well.

So she always thought that I was with Song Yafei only for money.

But why doesn't she think about it?

I received a considerable sum of money in my divorce settlement with Song Yafei. As long as I hire a manager to manage it, I can live a worry-free life for the rest of my days.

Why would she still think I'm only after money?

Perhaps a person's mindset is truly unchangeable, and I didn't intend to explain it to her since that's what she thought.

"So, Mrs. Song, what exactly are you trying to say? Are you blaming me for returning to Yafei's side, or are you blaming me for having impure motives? Just say it straight!"

As soon as I finished speaking, Song Yafei came over and sat down next to me, her face sullen and looking very unhappy.

It seems she heard what was said earlier.

"Madam Song, what exactly are you trying to say? I've already told you, it was I who insisted on his return, it was I who begged him to come back, did you hear me clearly?"

I've always known that the two of them don't get along, but this is the first time I've felt so threatened by something so bad.

Madam Song's expression was cold, giving off an unapproachable vibe, almost like two enemies meeting.

Madam Song was also enraged.

She pointed at Song Yafei's face and launched into a tirade.

"Song Yafei, you haven't gone crazy enough! What's the point of having a useless person who's not long for you and can't help the Song family in any way?"

"You, the dignified president of the Song Corporation, think you can act like a king who gets angry for a woman? Let me tell you, with me around, don't even think about it!"

You're quite good at using metaphors!

It would be even better if these were kind words.

"Aren't you being a bit too nosy?"

"It seems you completely disregarded my previous warning? In that case, cutting off your payments is probably no big deal for you."

Mrs. Song was so angry she almost jumped up and down. "Song Yafei, I'm your mother. Everything I do is for your own good."

"If you really want to support him, fine, I won't stop you. Just keep him secretly and don't show him off in public every day."

"Don't you know how much Wen Yi has sacrificed for you all these years? You're planning to kick him to the curb now? No way!"

Are you keeping me outside?

Is she treating me like a mistress?

They really want to pull that rich family keeping mistress routine on me!

How could she even think of that!

That's disgusting!

I opened my mouth to refute, but I heard Song Yafei snort coldly, looking very disdainful.

She took her phone out of her pocket and called Assistant Luo.

"President Song."

"Stop the madam's monthly payments and start paying her dividends on time from now on."

Before Assistant Luo could reply, Song Yafei hung up the phone.

Mrs. Song could no longer sit still. "Song Yafei, how dare you!"

Song Yafei just gave a cold laugh and didn't reply.

"You talk about sacrifice, but Xie Wenyi knew the Song family was in trouble and chose not to help. Do you think that's a sacrifice?"

"The person who has truly given the most is right here beside me, yet you choose to turn a blind eye! No, you've only ever seen the benefits, haven't you?"

"If we're talking about repaying a debt of gratitude, let's start by giving back to him. If you don't object, I can give her the entire Song family business."

After saying that, Song Yafei grabbed me and tried to leave, ignoring Madam Song completely, and even warned Madam Song before leaving.

“If you dare to cause Zhang Tian any more trouble in private, even if you are my mother, I guarantee your life will be in trouble. Also, don’t bother Grandpa!”

When we left the sanatorium, Mrs. Song was quite angry and stomped her feet in the lobby.

It's rare for someone to stand up for me and her mother like that.

This would have been touching in the past.

Now, it's all irrelevant to me, so it doesn't matter anymore.

……

Three days after leaving the sanatorium, when Song Yafei returned home, I had just taken a shower and was coming out of the bathroom.

When she saw me, she didn't say anything, but went up to me and hugged me.

Even though she didn't say anything, I could tell something was wrong; she seemed very down.

I didn't push her away, and let her hug me.

After a long while, she finally let go of me, leaned on my shoulder, and told me, "Grandpa hasn't been feeling well these past few days."

My heart skipped a beat; no wonder she was behaving so strangely.

In the Song family, the only person who made her feel warm was Grandpa Song.

But now even he's not doing well, no wonder she's in a bad mood.

Although I knew this day would come sooner or later, I still felt sad when I heard that Grandpa Song was sick.

He gently patted her back. "It'll be alright. I'm the one with cancer, and I'm still alive. Grandpa is healthy; he's just a bit confused."

These were just weak and feeble words of comfort; I hope they made her feel better.
