This child is...
The infant from that year!
An unprecedented tension surged within her. She absolutely could not let Jin Ye see this child!
Absolutely not!
Back then, she truly should have taken both children and left! She should have let Shao Xu die!
Shao Lin suppressed her thoughts, scoffed contemptuously, and mocked with venom, "This must be the bastard child born from getting knocked up by some wild man! Tsk tsk tsk, you still have the nerve to come back! I thought you'd be hiding somewhere no one could find, living or dying on your own! If your mother were alive and knew about this, she'd probably wish she could chug a bottle of poison and die on the spot! Bitch!"
Harsh, insulting words rained down on Su Ding...
Su Ding's face darkened. She placed Su Xiaorui on the ground and whispered, "Stay back."
Little Su Xiaorui wasn't the least bit startled. With her mother there, she feared nothing. Her small face looked serious as she nodded and quickly retreated.
Immediately after, Su Ding decisively and sharply raised her hand, followed by a loud, crisp slap!
Shao Lin was slapped so hard she stumbled back several steps, stunned. Her face was both painful and swollen.
She glared furiously at Su Ding, "You! You dare hit me! I'll kill you—"
Saying this, she lunged to tear at Su Ding.
"Slap!" Another slap.
Su Ding's movements were incredibly swift. Before Shao Lin could lunge, she seized the opportunity to slap her again.
Having studied self-defense for five years abroad, she was no longer the pushover Shao Lin could knead as she pleased!
Shao Lin's face instantly swelled from the blows, her gums even bleeding slightly. Her head reeled...
"I'm hitting you to make you remember not to spew filth in public!" Su Ding said coldly.
She glanced up at the camera overhead, took out her wallet, pulled out a few RMB, and threw them at Shao Lin, sneering, "Bitch!"
Just like Shao Lin's arrogant posture when she had thrown her credit card back then.
Shao Xu, now Su Ding, had returned for revenge.
A vengeful gleam flickered in Su Ding's eyes. She picked up Su Xiaorui from the corner and, with an arrogant demeanor, walked past Shao Lin.
Shao Lin knew she couldn't beat Shao Xu right now. The woman's strength was terrifying. She could only shout angrily, "I'm calling the police! Shao Xu, you bitch! Bitch—"
Su Ding heard this, stopped, and slowly turned her head back.
Their eyes met.
Fear appeared in Shao Lin's eyes. Her words caught in her throat, and she dared not shout again. What if this lunatic slapped her a few more times? She wouldn't be able to leave the house tomorrow.
Su Ding smiled faintly, "Go ahead and call if you want. It just so happens I need to investigate how my mother died back then. Go ahead and call."
With that, she elegantly and gracefully stepped out the door.

In the car, Su Ding received a call from her agent, Xiao Yuan.
"Dingding, Wang Xu picked you up, right? Don't go home first. Come over to Huang Qi. I'm here now. Sister Hong said President Jin will be coming today, and asked me to bring you to meet him. You can also take another look at the contract and see if there's anything you want to modify."
"Okay, I'll be there soon."
After hanging up, Su Ding told the driver to change course. They sped all the way to the Huang Qi Group's business building.
Xiaorui and Wang Xu waited in the adjacent conference room. She followed the crowd to the conference room where Xiao Yuan was. The golden agent Sister Hong and her assistant were also present.
Su Ding sat down, and both parties discussed and adjusted the contract.
Suddenly, the door was knocked on and pushed open.
A tall, dark figure entered from the doorway, followed by heavy, authoritative footsteps.
Su Ding looked towards the door, her gaze fixing on the face of the person who had entered. She froze...
