Under these circumstances, Ling Liyuan naturally announced the agreement to sever ties with his mother and the division of property.
If he didn't make it public soon, he worried that his mother, encouraged by the Kang family, might do something drastic, putting him in a dilemma.
For example, what should he do if his mother comes to the company entrance and kneels there like she did with the Kang family last time?
He could ignore Kang Shi, but he could not ignore his mother in public.
Otherwise, it would be unfilial!
An unfilial person will be unable to stand in society; everyone's spittle will drown you.
In severe cases, the shareholders will force you to relinquish control of the Ling Group.
But if you engage with her, given her personality, she will definitely make unreasonable demands that you cannot accept.
Now things are different, thanks to all the groundwork laid before.
However, if the news of severing ties were revealed before all this groundwork, public opinion would surely side with the mother, believing that the mother was unfilial.
As mentioned earlier, when parents and children argue about right and wrong, the debt of gratitude for giving birth to and raising children will naturally lead the children to side with the parents first.
Unless it can be proven that the parents were indeed unreasonable.
The preceding groundwork has proven this point.
Along with releasing the certificate proving the severance of the mother-son relationship, it was also announced that Ling Liyuan had left his mother sufficient assets for her retirement.
With this wealth, Ling's mother could live the life of a rich wife for the rest of her life without having to work or worry about anything.
It was also announced that Ling Liyuan would continue to secretly monitor his mother's health in his own way.
Afterwards, netizens unanimously agreed that Ling Liyuan was a filial son, still caring for his mother even after she had gone so far.
Ling Liyuan's answer to this question was:
Severing ties is merely a means, not an end.
This was simply to prevent the mother from doing anything excessive under the instigation of someone with ulterior motives.
But as her son, he couldn't truly be indifferent to her.
This further solidified Ling Liyuan's reputation as a filial son.
At the same time, this matter also came as Kang Meihuan's surprise.
She had been thinking about whether to make this public, wouldn't that prove Ling Liyuan's filial impiety?
She was considering the consequences of this matter when she heard that Ling Liyuan himself had made it public.
The effect of him announcing it himself is completely different from that of someone else announcing it.
The comments section was filled with expressions of great satisfaction.
This incident also happens to appeal to a group of young people who can't stand their domineering parents.
"That's great, Mr. Ling has finally broken up with that old hag."
"Ling Liyuan is about to escape his misery."
"Good for you! I support you!"
"Yes, even parents cannot do whatever they want to their children."
"Brother Ling, I support you!"
"Brother Ling, well done."
"This is how you should deal with unreasonable parents."
"Yes, yes, children are not their parents' puppets."
...
Two days later, unable to bear being neglected by her son, Ling's mother, supported by Kang Meihuan, arrived at the Ling Group building.
The two of them knelt together at the intersection when there were many people leaving get off work.
I beg Ling Liyuan to come home.
Having laid the groundwork, Ling Liyuan completely ignored them, only instructing the security guards to persuade them.
After failing to persuade them, they called the police directly.
Their actions attracted a large crowd and seriously disrupted public order, so they were forcibly taken away by the police.
Although Ling's mother did not suffer any hardship after arriving at the police station, she had never experienced such cold treatment since she was used to being pampered and always fawned over.
Taking advantage of his age, he made unreasonable demands and verbally abused the police.
The two women never expected that the police would dare to detain them directly.
Although they were detained for seven days, it had a huge impact on their reputation, making their already bad reputation even worse.
Ling's mother wanted to make a scene, but the police officer told her directly.
"If you cause trouble again, you'll be punished more severely."
Ling's mother immediately shut up.
After Uncle Hat left, she kept complaining that her son was filial but didn't say anything to get her out of trouble.
In fact, when the police detained them, they asked Ling Liyuan for his opinion.
"Punish them as they should be, so they'll learn their lesson."
Even though someone posted this story online, because of the previous public opinion surrounding Ling's mother and Miss Kang, no one took their side.
Public opinion is still overwhelmingly negative towards them.
"Everyone come quick! The scheming woman and the old hag are up to their old tricks again!"
"I really feel sorry for Ling Ge. How did he end up with such a mother?"
"Thank goodness, thank goodness, we've broken off all ties."
"Brother Ling is brilliant!"
"Brother Ling was forced into it, okay?"
There are also netizens from the older generation.
"Ling's mother is really just bored and has nothing better to do than help that scheming woman all day long, causing trouble for her own son!"
"You're not short of money, why don't you enjoy eating, drinking, and having fun? Why make enemies with your son?"
"This woman must be a sadist!"
...
If Ling's mother knew about these rumors at this time, I wonder what she would think.
That evening, Ling Liyuan had a video call with Bai Shiyan.
"Honey, did you miss me?"
"Do you even need to think about it? You've practically dominated the headlines and trending topics lately. Your posts are everywhere online; I can't help but look at them."
Ling Liyuan sent a helpless emoji, "I'm sorry my wife had to laugh at me."
"I don't have time to laugh at you, I'm busy."
"But if I check on you every now and then, am I about to be defeated?"
"Don't worry, your husband won't be defeated by them."
"When did you mess with Kang Meihuan? She's so scheming! Tell me honestly!"
Bai Shiyan sent a fierce-looking emoji.
Ling Liyuan gave a wry smile.
"I have never offended her. I only went to the Kang family for medical treatment before, and we have met no more than five times in total."
Moreover, they barely exchanged a few words when they met.
After that, she called me twice, and I only answered politely.
Little did he know that she would set her sights on him.
"However, your mother is quite a handful."
Before, I had discussed with my parents about going to visit her.
But now, we have to hesitate.
"Please don't come. I'd better handle this trouble by myself."
If you dare to get involved, they'll go all out against you.
"Okay, okay, when are you coming back?"
"Things at the company have stabilized, and I'll be going back in a few days."
How are your parents?
"My parents are doing well."
"Is Shuangshuang being good?"
Who is Shuangshuang?
"Our daughter!"
"Tch! You named it?"
"I didn't name her that. After she was born, she would definitely be called Bai Shuang."
I'll tell you when I have time.
"Playing hard to get!"
