She watched as reporters surrounded her, but she just kept her head down and said nothing.

After a long while, the reporters, having asked enough questions and getting nothing in return, finally left the hotel lobby.

As Madam Jiang watched all the reporters leave one after another, her tense body instantly collapsed to the ground.

"aunt."

Mo Ning rushed over in a panic and helped Madam Jiang up from the ground.

Madam Jiang glared coldly at Mo Ning, who had helped her up. Once she was steady, she shoved Mo Ning hard.

Mo Ning was suddenly pushed and stumbled backward. She twisted her ankle, which was wearing high heels, and a piercing pain brought tears to her eyes.

She endured the pain and caught up with Madam Jiang.

Madam Jiang ignored her and walked quickly until she reached a secluded spot. There, she stopped, turned around, and slapped Mo Ning.

The slap was very powerful, leaving a clear handprint on Mo Ning's face.

Even though it was so dark, the handprint was still clearly visible.

"Auntie!" Mo Ning called out in a wronged tone. She looked up at Madam Jiang with tears in her eyes.

Madam Jiang did not answer; she turned around and walked quickly forward.

"Mother!"

"Morning called out again."

Madam Jiang stopped in her tracks, her body trembling slightly.

"Shut up!"

Madam Jiang turned around again, glaring at Mo Ning with a hint of panic in her voice, as if the reporters from earlier hadn't left and had captured their moment on camera.

"Mother!"

Mo Ning didn't shut up; instead, she called out again.

"Mo Ning, are you trying to kill me?"

Madam Jiang lowered her voice and called out sharply.

"I gave birth to you so that you would oppose me."

She meticulously cultivated Mo Ning, spent countless hours bringing him from the Mo family to the Jiang family, and arranged his marriage.

As it turned out, the person who betrayed her was Mo Ning.

"Then what was the point of bringing me into this world?"

Mo Ning sneered, picking up where Madam Jiang left off, "To help you keep a man who doesn't love you?"

As an observer, Mo Ning saw things very clearly regarding Madam Jiang and Lu Feng's affair.

A man like Lu Feng would never have anything to do with Madam Jiang again.

For so many years, he could act as if he didn't have a daughter, and he never got together with Madam Jiang for Mo Ning. A man like that wouldn't change anything just because Mo Ning married Xu Bai.

"Shut up!"

Madam Jiang shouted sternly, "That's your father."

“No,” Mo Ning said with a faint smile. “I have neither a father nor a mother.”

“Mrs. Jiang,” Mo Ning changed her words, “I don’t want to stay here anymore.”

She didn't really like the capital city that much; after what happened with Xu Bai, she wanted to leave even more.

Upon hearing that Mo Ning was leaving, Madam Jiang became anxious, "Where are you going?"

"Mo Ning, you can't just leave me like this."

"I did all this for your future. Do you dare say you don't like Xu Bai?"

As a mother, how could Madam Jiang not see through her daughter's thoughts!

"right!"

Hearing Madam Jiang's words, Mo Ning, who was walking forward, turned her head and replied in a cold voice, "Yes, I like Xu Bai!"

"I fell in love with it when I was in school."

She and Xu Bai were schoolmates, but no one told them this. Even Xu Bai didn't remember her. It had always been her unrequited love.

One day, Madam Jiang took her to the Jiang family to attend various banquets, where she also met Xu Bai.

She thought that if she could get close to the person she liked, there would always be a chance for him to like her back.
