Tian Fang cried for a long time. She rolled up her sleeves and rubbed her eyes. She wanted to hug Tao Yin again, but she stepped back and avoided her.

Tian Fang's arm turned into a semicircle and awkwardly froze in the air.

Her daughter seemed to have changed into a different person. She looked at her coldly. This realization made Tian Fang couldn't help but shed tears again.

"Tao Yin, mom is sorry."

What Tao Yin wanted was not this apology. What the original owner wanted was not such a light apology.

That was a human life.

"What are you sorry for?"

Tian Fang was stunned. The tears stopped in her eyes and she forgot to flow down. She couldn't say it.

Tao Yin was her biological daughter. She was used to being good to her daughter, but this kind of good was a circle. In her circle, she could endlessly dote on her daughter, cook for her daughter, knit sweaters, and run two kilometers to buy review materials.

But once Tao Yin left that small circle, she would let go. If anyone in the Bai Family dragged her daughter over, her hands would only cover her eyes and ears. She wouldn't see or hear, and she wouldn't choose to fight back.

She was not a qualified mother. After thinking this through, Tian Fang covered her eyes and didn't want Tao Yin to see her in a sorry state.

Tao Yin squatted down, grabbed her hands and put them on her knees, and asked her softly:

"Mom, if you don't know all this today, when will my grievances end?"

Tian Fang wanted to say that she would never let her daughter be wronged again, but when the words came to her mouth, she didn't have the face to say it.

Gritting her teeth, she heard her daughter softly say: "If one day I am forced into a corner and die, will you continue to endure it?"

Tian Fang shook her head desperately: "No, you have to believe mom, mom will …"

"No, you will. You will pretend that nothing happened. Even if you have evidence in your hands, you will destroy it. I think that at that time, you might be able to breathe a sigh of relief. I'm dead. Yes, I'm your daughter, but I'm also a disgrace that you carry on your shoulders. Without this burden, you will feel more relaxed."

Tian Fang shook her head with trembling lips. Tao Yin held her hand very tightly. She wanted to pull it out, but she couldn't find any strength.

The mother and daughter knelt in the same place. The ground was full of Tian Fang's tears. From beginning to end, Tao Yin had a knowing smile.

Tian Fang's heart was full of holes.

Before Tao Yin's patience ran out, she finally spoke.

"If such a day really comes, Mom won't leave you alone. No matter how hard and tiring I am, I will avenge you with my own hands one day. Then, I will go down to accompany you. You are my only child. If something happens to you, how can I be relaxed?"

Tian Fang was immersed in her imagination, wiping her tears.

Tao Yin looked at the two holding hands and laughed.

"Maybe."

Maybe it was true, maybe it wasn't, but at least he could give the original owner an explanation. He really hoped that she could hear her mother's words. He didn't know how much she would believe then.

Such a naive little girl should trust her mother wholeheartedly. But after experiencing the betrayal after death, how much trust could she have?

Tao Yin stood up and reached out to Tian Fang on the ground. He patted the dust on her knees, but Tian Fang held his hand.

"Mom won't let you be wronged in the future. Let's transfer schools. Don't you want to go to university in another province? Mom will go with you. We can buy a small apartment there. I've saved a few hundred thousand yuan over the years. It's enough for us to live …" Tian Fang kept talking about her future. Tao Yin listened quietly without interrupting.

When she ran out of things to talk about, the atmosphere gradually became awkward. Tao Yin held her hand.

"Let's go back to the hotel first."

Tian Fang nodded and held her daughter's hand tightly. "Okay, let's take the things back to the hotel first. Then we'll go to a restaurant and have a hot meal. I'll make dumplings for you tonight. Don't you like celery dumplings? Eat more tonight."

Tao Yin bent down to pick up the scattered suitcase on the ground.

Pang Min was very happy these two days. She sold all her real estate and company shares in just two days. It was strange. As soon as she said she wanted to buy, a buyer came to her immediately. The price was not low. Pang Min was happy to see it happen. It didn't take long for her to sign an agreement with the buyer.

All the assets in her hands were converted into bank deposits. Pang Min laughed coldly.

When the newspapers reported that the CEO of the Lu Family, Bai Shengtian, kept a mistress, Pang Min had already taken her daughter abroad. She sent a video to the media across the ocean. In the video, she cried and complained about how helpless she was. The mother and daughter had been bullied by him for many years. She even watched him embezzle the property of the Lu Family and flaunt his power with his mistress.

Pang Min changed her usual high and mighty attitude. She was as pitiful as she could be. She portrayed herself as a pitiful female protagonist. However, this female protagonist was already over 40 years old. When she frowned, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes bloomed.

The rich ladies who knew Pang Min felt that something was wrong. In the past, Pang Min had always been arrogant and didn't look like she was being bullied. Instead, they thought that Bai Shengtian was being bullied by Pang Min.

However, at this time, the ordinary audience who were out of the entertainment circle didn't pay attention to this. They only believed what they saw with their own eyes. Mr. Bai even took his mistress for a prenatal checkup.

Hey, did you hear? That mistress was the teacher who abused the students that everyone on the Internet criticized.

Aiyo, it's a good thing that she was fired. Wouldn't it be harmful to have such an indecent person as a teacher? It's a good thing that my child isn't in that school.

In just a few days, Bai Shengtian and Ye Nan's reputations were tarnished. Even if Bai Shengtian took out the divorce agreement at this time, it would be useless. No one would believe him. People would only guess that he forced Pang Min to get a divorce in order to let his mistress take over. Wasn't that true? It was rumored that his original wife had already been sent abroad.

Bai Shengtian's private life was infinitely magnified, but he didn't have time to care about this, because the company's affairs were enough to make him badly battered. The stock price fell again and again, but to his surprise, none of the shareholders came looking for trouble with him. Instead, they gathered together all day long as if they were discussing something that they didn't want him to know about.

The shareholders' meeting was held two days later. With the help of Ye Nan, Bai Shengtian tidied up his appearance. He tried his best not to let others see that he was haggard during this period of time. He walked confidently into the office.

As soon as he opened the door, Bai Shengtian froze in surprise.
