Pampered By My Fake Boyfriend's Brother
Chapter 124 Heartless

Chapter 124: Chapter 124 Heartless

Seeing her daughter’s resolute attitude, Shi’s mother tightened her grip on her daughter’s arm slightly and asked, "What do you mean by this?" She seemed to not have heard clearly and wanted Shi Qing to confirm her thoughts.

"You should have heard it clearly, so stop pretending," Shi Qing said, mercilessly exposing her mother’s feigned ignorance.

"You, you ungrateful child, I’m your mother, how can you treat me like this?" Shi’s mother habitually reached out and slapped Shi Qing’s arm a few times, hard.

Shi Qing didn’t even blink. She was long used to her mother’s habit of hitting her, moreover, at this moment, she wanted to sever their mother-daughter relationship. If Shi’s mother couldn’t expect any financial benefit from her in the future, her anxious and fretful expression now seemed quite normal to Shi Qing.

This is her mother, who puts money above everything else!

"If you weren’t my mother, I would have already..." Shi Qing started to speak, but choked back the last few words.

"Would have what? Tell me, what do you want to do to me?" Shi’s mother pressed aggressively; not only that, she twisted Shi Qing’s arm hard.

Shi’s mother’s skilled action showed that she often resorted to violence in her interactions with Shi Qing.

Shi Qing said nothing, just quietly looked at her mother with chilly eyes filled with complex emotions.

Shi’s mother was disheveled with a slightly plump face, her skin fair, her figure voluptuous despite looking unkempt.

"You know it in your heart!" Shi Qing said these words and left it at that.

During a dinner with Boss Zhang, her own mother drugged her drink with sleeping pills and handed her over to a complete stranger. Such behavior was utterly shameful.

Shi’s mother, quick-witted, of course guessed what her daughter meant. Immediately, she changed the subject, "You ungrateful girl, you came from my womb, you can’t get rid of me. Even if you die, I am your mother."

Shi’s mother’s sharp voice filled the room as she glared at her daughter.

Shi Qing tried to push her mother away but found her arm held tightly. Not only that, Shi’s mother turned her back and blocked the door, determined not to let Shi Qing leave, acting completely unreasonable.

Since she was a child, Shi Qing had seen all kinds of unreasonable behavior from her mother. Faced with this moment, Shi Qing found herself deeply disgusted by her mother.

But she couldn’t change anything. Her mother had said something right earlier, she was indeed born from Shi’s mother’s womb, and this fact could not be changed by anyone. This was the root of Shi Qing’s pain—no one could sever the ties of blood, and no one could choose their parents at birth.

Thinking about this, a trace of loneliness appeared on Shi Qing’s face.

Shi Qing often wondered why her parents, who clearly didn’t care about their children and didn’t love her and her sister, chose to have them in the first place. This question puzzled her for many years, and she never figured it out.

Now she no longer seeks an answer because she knows that some people are simply not fit to be parents from the very beginning.

"Let me go, and I’ll let you go, let’s mutually set each other free, please just consider this as me begging you, I’ve never asked you for anything since I was a child!" With a nearly pleading tone, Shi Qing faced her mother’s fierce eyes.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible, in this life, you can only be my daughter. You’re about to graduate and start working, earning money, and now you want to sever relations with me? Hmph, you’re dreaming too beautifully," Shi’s mother squinted, thoughtfully sizing up her daughter, "Or have you secretly gotten a boyfriend or another way out and are eager to get rid of me, living your dream life... I’m telling you, if you dare disappear and run away with someone, no matter where you hide, I’ll find you, you will never get rid of me in this life."

Shi’s mother’s words came out quickly, increasingly anxious. At this moment, she was genuinely flustered, as her daughter had always been headstrong, almost always following through on what she said.

Shi’s mother knew her daughter was serious about wanting to sever the mother-daughter relationship, but how could such a beautiful thing happen? A daughter she carried in her womb for nine months, how could maternal bonds be broken just like that?

Right now, the matter with Boss Zhang had already gone south, and with Shi Qing’s temperament, she surely had left no room for maneuver.

It might have even turned into a big fallout; Shi’s mother didn’t dare to imagine her daughter offending Boss Zhang.

Boss Zhang was a well-known figure in their alley. Now that Shi Qing had offended him, how could their family’s life go smoothly in the future?

Shi’s mother very much wanted to drag her daughter to apologize, but Shi Qing was currently angry, how could she listen?

If the route with Boss Zhang didn’t work, there would surely be other figures like Boss Zhang, Boss Wu, or Boss Jin in the future, Shi’s mother comforted herself.

The premise was that she couldn’t sever the relationship with her daughter.

Given the current situation, Shi’s mother could only take a step back, temporarily let Shi Qing go, wait for her anger to subside, and then talk nicely to her. She didn’t believe Shi Qing would truly sever all family ties—after all, Shi’s mother was her only remaining relative in this world, and besides, she was her mother!

Shi’s mother pondered: Although the younger daughter is cold-hearted, she shouldn’t be completely heartless!

After inner turmoil, Shi’s mother loosened her grip on her daughter’s hand. She felt guilty about the situation with Boss Zhang, and at this moment dared not say much more—her younger daughter was her trump card, keeping her meant not worrying about having a comfortable life in the future!

Shi Qing noticed that Shi’s mother’s grip had loosened.

Shi Qing withdrew her gaze, and Shi’s mother stepped aside to the door, leaving a narrow path. Shi Qing took this chance to walk outside—the dark, cement stairs beneath her felt especially heavy. This home bore too much sadness and pain for her; the only warmth was given to her by her deceased sister!

Shi’s mother stood by the doorway, watching her daughter’s figure fade into the distance, disappearing around the bend of the stairs. The sound of footsteps, "thud, thud, thud," echoed and gradually faded away.

Shi’s mother squinted into the dark stairwell, irritably walked to the bedside, picked up a half-smoked cigarette, lit it skillfully with a lighter, and took a deep drag.
