Ji Changning v Si Chen (20)
Mother Ji looked away and was silent for a while, "Changning, I know that I am a very unqualified mother. I was blinded by the life here and kept climbing up. For so many years, I didn't dare to look back at all." She grabbed Ji Changning's hand and said, "I know I am sorry for you, Changning. Mom can't live in the Qin family anymore. Can you help Mom?"
Ji Changning broke free from her hand, "Have you ever thought about me? What if Si Chen didn't arrive that day?"
Mother Ji paused for a moment, "But Si Chen has arrived, and you are fine. You still have to live your life. Just think of this as a way to repay the Qin family for their training and the money and energy they have spent on you for so long, okay?"
Ji Changning smiled silently, "Mom, I was really happy in Qingshi Town before. Even if they didn't like me, I never felt as desperate as I did here. Do all mothers in the world treat their daughters like this?"
"Parents love their children for the long term. You can't stay in Qingshi Town forever. Mom is doing this for your own good. Only when you have absolute financial resources can you have full control over the decision-making power." Mother Ji looked at her with tears in her eyes. "If I really didn't love you, how could I take you away from Qingshi Town?"
"I also have a lot of helplessness. Can you understand me? I know you blame me. Those men are not what I want you to contact. Mom is walking on thin ice in the Qin family. I have to carefully consider their casual jokes. You know all this."
Ji Changning smiled and shook her head, tears dripping down her cheeks. When she was a child, she was treated as a burden. Her mother always disliked her. She disliked the noise she made when she ate noodles and her appearance of being naive. But when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, her mother would hug her and cry with her, and secretly give her money.
If Qin Yuan was not there, but there was Qin Dong and other people they wanted to work with, she would always be ranked very far behind. She was always the last one to be comforted, given a candy and then a soft slap, without any sound, but it really hit her heart.
The repetition of these changes, sometimes good, sometimes bad, suffocated her.
Ji Changning wiped away his tears carelessly, "Okay, I'll let him go, but I have a condition."
"Okay, go ahead."
"In Qingshi Town, the highest betrothal gift is no more than 188,000, so my betrothal gift will be based on this. You must return the things Si Chen gave you before. Also, you are not allowed to spend money on the Si family anymore, and you are not allowed to mention anything about the Si family anymore. If there is any news, Qin Yuan will still go to jail. I will keep all the evidence and can arrest him at any time."
Mother Ji looked at her in disbelief, "Do you want to break up with your mother?"
"Yes!" Ji Changning was decisive and resolute.
"Changning, you..." Ji's mother was about to get closer, but she dodged her.
Ji Changning turned his face away and said, "I won't give you too much time to think about it. I won't give you any choice after you leave this door."
Mother Ji looked at her in silence for a while, then nodded with difficulty, "Okay, I promise you."
Ji Changning's expression did not change at all, as if he had expected it, but he felt sad in his heart, "The goal has been achieved, you can leave now."
"I'm not just for..." Mother Ji stopped talking halfway and smiled bitterly, "Forget it, there's no point in saying this now."
After that, she stood up, walked to the door, and when her hand touched the door handle, she looked back and said something in a low voice.
No one heard it.
Until the sound of the door closing was heard, Ji Changning seemed to be frozen in place, unable to move.
