After finishing his call with Wang Jun, Yi Yang didn't pay any more attention to these matters and stayed peacefully at home.

Although he has been mostly pestered by Yang Qingxue these past few days, he still habitually comes to his study to write a few words and save some drafts during his breaks.

After all, this is how I make a living, so I can't afford to lose my basic skills.

Every single word you type is worth money!

............

In a detached villa outside the 4th Ring Road in Kyoto, Liu Qianqian was nestled on the sofa in her room, holding a ragdoll cat in her arms. Bathed in the dappled sunlight streaming through the window, she looked like a beautiful landscape painting.

The theme is "A Leisurely Afternoon".

But the girl in the painting, with her eyes brimming with tears and her haggard expression, is a different story.

At that moment, along with a knock on the door came Liu Xiaoli's voice.

"Sisi... don't be so willful anymore. Mom is doing this for your own good. Song Chengxian was carefully chosen by Mom. Why don't you try getting along with him?"

"You have to understand, a woman's youth only lasts a few years. If you don't find a good match soon, are you going to wait until you're old and faded?"

"As for liking or disliking someone, those are naive ideas. Even the deepest feelings will fade if two people spend too much time together."

"Look at your dad and me, aren't we living examples?"

"Sisi... just listen to your mother's advice and stop being stubborn. Song Chengxian will be coming to Kyoto tomorrow, so make sure you look presentable and don't be impolite."

"Did you hear that? The kind of life we, mother and daughter, will live from now on depends entirely on you."

“........”

As Liu Xiaoli's voice faded from outside the door, Liu Qianqian's tears flowed freely.

I came back full of confidence, thinking I could convince my mother, but instead I was met with a barrage of PUA rhetoric.

If I were still that naive child who would listen to anything, I might have actually believed her nonsense.

"Meow......"

Perhaps it was Liu Qianqian's tears that made the cat feel sad, as it looked up at Liu Qianqian with its blue eyes.

"An'an, you will definitely support Mommy, right?"

"Meow puppet..."

Liu Qianqian also wiped away her tears, her eyes filled with determination.

After packing my luggage again and putting the cat in its cage, I opened the door and went downstairs.

Still in the living room, Liu Xiaoli was elegantly sipping tea and watching TV.

In the back kitchen, the nanny was also cooking.

Hearing the sound coming from the stairs, Liu Xiaoli's lips curled up slightly.

After all, she's my daughter. After all these years, I have some experience and insights on how to handle her.

Even if they have a little temper, they still compromise in the end.

"Have you figured it out? Mom won't hurt you. Have some tea first, and we can have dinner later. Tonight we'll have your favorite cola chicken wings, so you can indulge yourself this time. But you'll have to exercise for half an hour more tomorrow."

A real woman never looks back before she speaks.

But why is there a sound like wheels sliding on the floor in the background?

Liu Xiaoli then turned around to take a look.

When they saw that Liu Qianqian was carrying a cat carrier in her left hand and pushing a suitcase in her right hand, they immediately got up.

"What are you trying to do now? Are you planning a rebellion?"

Liu Xiaoli was also furious and pointed at Liu Qianqian, asking loudly.

Looking at the furious Liu Xiaoli in front of her, Liu Qianqian also looked at her calmly for a while, as if she wanted to deeply imprint Liu Xiaoli's current expression in her mind.

“I’m leaving soon. From today onwards, you have no right to make decisions for me in any matter.”

“In the past few days, I have terminated all connections with the companies associated with you and other related matters.”

"This house was originally bought in your name, so just stay here and enjoy your life!"

"I've earned at least a few million of my money, right? I believe that should be enough for you to live on. That's all for now! Don't call me again unless it's absolutely necessary."

After Liu Qianqian finished speaking, she walked towards the door.

At this point, Liu Xiaoli was stunned; this was a move to distance herself from her.

What will I do then?

Besides, Song Chengxian is coming tomorrow. What would it look like if he left now? Would he expect me to fill in for him?

After so many years of PUA, Liu Xiaoli's proud personality made it impossible for her to allow such a thing to happen, as it had suddenly slipped out of her control.

"Stop right there! Stop right there and explain yourself..."

Liu Xiaoli immediately caught up and grabbed Liu Qianqian.

"What are you talking about? Haven't I made myself clear enough?"

Liu Qianqian was very determined at this moment, and with a wave of her hand, she broke free.

This action directly angered Liu Xiaoli, making her feel that her authority had been seriously challenged.

"Smack..."

Enraged and losing her temper, Liu Xiaoli slapped Liu Qianqian across the face.

Perhaps because her skin was too delicate, a red handprint quickly swelled up on her fair face.

Liu Qianqian didn't speak, but her gaze towards Liu Xiaoli was already cold.

"You unfilial daughter, you've gone too far! If you dare to step out of this door today, don't ever acknowledge me as your mother again."

Although I felt a little regretful, I still said those words in the end.

Liu Qianqian glanced around the house with lingering affection, smiled and nodded at the nanny who was taking care of her at the kitchen door, and then left without looking back.

He didn't even glance at Liu Xiaoli, who was right in front of him; he had given up on her.

Liu Xiaoli was also stunned, her face showing an indescribable expression—apology, reluctance, but mostly bewilderment.

Did I really do something wrong? But all of this was for her own good!

"boom......"

The roar of the car engine outside startled Liu Xiaoli, who was standing there in a daze, and she quickly chased after it.

But I only saw the taillights.

The raised arms, the unspoken words, remained frozen in place.

.........

As Liu Qianqian drove along the road, tears finally streamed down her face.

Even the burning pain on my face couldn't compare to the pain in my heart.

No matter what, she is, after all, her biological mother who raised her for more than 20 years.

Moreover, he grew up in a single-parent family.

After finding a safe place to park the car, Liu Qianqian immediately slumped onto the steering wheel and burst into tears.

Although I have severed all ties with my mother at the company in the past few days.

But as she left, I still hoped to hear something from her.

But nothing came; all I got in return was continued manipulation and a slap across the face.

This was also the key reason why Liu Qianqian made up her mind to take this step.
