The speaker was Zhuang Lanxin, mother of Song Mingyue. Originally the secretary to Song Xiuling, she had long lost his favor due to her aging appearance, but she had made quite a fortune in earlier years—from securing money from Song Xiuling to buying houses, cars, and jewelry, she had lived a flavorful and enjoyable life in Hong Kong.
She had obtained over a hundred million worth of assets from Song Xiufeng. After Wu Yanmei filed a lawsuit, Zhuang Lanxin was forced to return the most significant amount.
After careful calculations by Wu Yanmei, Zhuang Lanxin was only a million Hong Kong Dollars in debt, because the value of the property had increased more than tenfold, right? Adding the more valuable jewelry and accounting for market prices for settling debts, she was just one million short.
That hurt, to have given half of her life for naught. After all was said and done, aside from a son and a daughter and her garments, she was left with nothing.
