Qiao Jiabao took the agreement, hesitated for a moment, but finally signed his name on it with great confidence.

"Pick a time and I'll go with you to find Cen Juan." Gu Tingchen took the agreement and said softly.

Qiao Jiabao nodded with a slightly heavy heart, pursing his lips tightly, looking like he was worried about something.

Seeing Qiao Jiabao like this, Gu Tingchen patted his shoulder with some heartache to show his encouragement.

The next day, Gu Tingchen brought Qiao Jiabao to the detention center. Because Qiao Jiabao asked to complete the matter as soon as possible and didn't want to delay it any longer, Gu Tingchen respected his choice.

When they arrived at the gate of the detention center, Gu Tingchen stopped the car, and Qiao Jiabao got out of the car alone, just like last time.

"Do you need me to accompany you? If you can't handle it, I can help you." Gu Tingchen said with concern.

But Qiao Jiabao shook his head firmly, just like last time, "I think I can handle it myself."

Hearing Qiao Jiabao say this, Gu Tingchen did not force it, but chose to believe Qiao Jiabao, "Okay, then I'll wait for your news."

Qiao Jiabao nodded and walked into the detention center.

It was still the same place, but this time Qiao Jiabao felt different.

When he arrived at the room he had been to last time, someone was already waiting for Qiao Jiabao at the door.

"I'm here to look for Cen Juan." Qiao Jiabao said with a stern face.

The other party nodded, then took Qiao Jiabao to open the door and saw Cen Juan sitting inside.

Cen Juan was still trapped in a small chair and unable to move. Her face was a little pale and looked a little haggard. When Qiao Jiabao saw Cen Juan like this, his heart trembled slightly.

But Qiao Jiabao still forced himself to be cruel and not show any mercy to Cen Juan.

"You're finally here." This was Cen Juan's first sentence after seeing Qiao Jiabao.

Has she been waiting for Qiao Jiabao to come?

Qiao Jiabao didn't have time to think about it, he just nodded and took out the signed agreement from behind.

"This is the agreement I asked a lawyer to draft. I have already signed it. Now it's your turn to sign." Qiao Jiabao said with his lips tightly pursed.

He felt mixed emotions, anticipation, but also a hint of reluctance.

It's not that he and Cen Juan had no good memories at all, but they were covered up by what happened later. When the moment came for them to really go their separate ways, these good memories were like some old accounts, being dug up and appearing before Qiao Jiabao's eyes one by one.

When Cen Juan saw the agreement, she couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Are you so anxious to break up with me?"

"Didn't we agree on this before?" Qiao Jiabao felt a little soft-hearted for a moment, but he didn't show it.

Cen Juan took the agreement and took a quick look at it.

The content was clearly written there. As long as Cen Juan signed it, she and Qiao Jiabao would no longer be legally mother and son, and would be like strangers from now on.

There is no loophole and no room for maneuver.

Cen Juan picked up the pen and held it tightly in her hand, but she had no determination to sign.

After hesitating for a while, Cen Juan raised her head slightly and stared at Qiao Jiabao with a serious and cold gaze: "Do you still hate me? If I don't sign, will you hate me for the rest of your life?"

"I won't hate you, because in my heart, that good mother is already dead." Qiao Jiabao gave a completely different answer from before. After he calmed down these days, he also knew how difficult it was for Cen Juan, but their relationship could no longer go back to the way it was before.

Qiao Jiabao didn't want to struggle any longer, so he decided to just let each other go.

Cen Juan curled her lips in a bitter smile, "I'd rather you hated me. That way, you'd remember me forever. If I sign now, what I fear most is that you'll forget me."

When she said this, tears welled up in Cen Juan's eyes.

Seeing this scene, Qiao Jiabao couldn't help but soften his heart. His voice was slightly choked with sobs, "I will never forget you."

Cen Juan smiled when she heard that, then wiped away her tears stubbornly, picked up the pen again, took a deep breath, and said as if to cheer herself up: "Jiabao, before I sign, can you call me mom again?"

Cen Juan had been looking forward to calling her "Mom" for a long time. Now at the last moment, she really hoped that Qiao Jiabao could call her "Mom".

Qiao Jiabao didn't want to disappoint Cen Juan, so he called out obediently, "Mom."

Although this sound did not have much emotion, it was deeply filled with a sense of nostalgia. Hearing this meaning, Cen Juan nodded with satisfaction and shed tears at the same time. After making sufficient mental preparations, she signed her name on it with great pride.

After seeing Cen Juan put down her pen and confirming that her name had been signed, Qiao Jiabao felt relieved.

From this moment on, he knew that he and Cen Juan had nothing to do with each other anymore.

In the past, this woman was his legal mother, but now, she is no longer. Even her life or death has nothing to do with Qiao Jiabao. They have parted ways from now on.

Cen Juan pushed the agreement forward, handed it to Qiao Jiabao, and said bitterly, "Are you satisfied now?"

Qiao Jiabao took the agreement, read it again, and confirmed that Cen Juan's name was really signed. He sighed deeply.

Until now, Qiao Jiabao didn't understand his complicated feelings. He was looking forward to Cen Juan's signature, but at the same time, he had an inexplicable attachment to her. He had feelings for Cen Juan.

"I'm sorry, I have to do this." Qiao Jiabao said with a stern face.

Cen Juan waved her hand nonchalantly, but there was still a hint of kindness in her eyes. "Remember when you came last time, I told you I wanted to give you a gift?"

"What gift?" Qiao Jiabao was confused. It was already this late, and Cen Juan was still thinking of giving him a gift?

Qiao Jiabao's first reaction was shock, not surprise.

Cen Juan sighed softly, then said to Qiao Jiabao, "I have confessed to all my crimes. I killed Brother Liu and hired someone to hit Jiang Ranran. I admit everything I did, and the transcript has been written."

"I hope you can live an easy life in the future, as if I don't exist in this world." Cen Juan looked at Qiao Jiabao with such loving eyes. In fact, she had already made the decision when Qiao Jiabao came last time.

These past few years, she had been very tired. How could she not realize that she was very sick? But there was no way, she could never let go of her son. Now, she could finally be free.

"I have several legal properties under my name. I have signed them and left them to you. I hope you will accept them." Cen Juan said very seriously.
