Liu Shuming took the menu and saw that the yam option was checked. It was obviously a small mistake that he had not noticed when he was distracted just now.

He said in an apologetic tone: "Sister, I'm sorry."

"It's okay. I'm not allergic to yams. I just don't like eating them. If you like them, we can order them."

Liu Shuming shook his head and explained, "I don't like it either. I was thinking about something at school and accidentally got distracted and checked this. I'll cross it out right away."

After saying that, he put a big "X" in front of the yam option to ensure that it would be particularly eye-catching and would not be ordered by the waiter by mistake.

While the waiter was preparing the dishes, Shen Anran browsed the messages in the group.

Their new product will be released next month, and she can also relax and enjoy a week's vacation.

She has been so tired recently that she feels like she has returned to her previous working state. She really doesn't want to work at all.

But since I have agreed to let Lin Na join the team, I can't hold everyone back. I hope everything goes well.

Just as the food was put into the pot, there was a soft knock on the door.

Liu Shuming put down the plate and walked over to open the door. Unexpectedly, the person standing outside the door was Liu's mother.

She looked more tired and her clothes were disheveled.

As soon as she saw Liu Shuming, a smile immediately appeared on her face, "Son, I finally found you."

"What are you doing here? You are not welcome here." Liu Shuming said coldly, then turned around to close the door, not wanting her to enter the house.

However, to Liu Shuming's surprise, his mother nimbly turned sideways, slipped into the house, walked straight to the dining table, reached out to pick up the cooked food on the table and stuffed it into her mouth.

Liu Shuming asked angrily: "What are you doing?"

Mother Liu devoured her food while angrily saying, "I've raised you for so many years, and now that you've grown independent, you don't recognize me as your mother, right? You should be treating me well with good food and drink."

"I didn't betray my son's mother." Liu Shuming responded coldly.

Mother Liu said sarcastically, "Look at you, you're fine, and you're eating so well. Are you hooking up with that Fifth Master?"

Liu Shuming clenched his hands, his eyes blazing with anger. Listen, is this what a mother would say?

"Mom, sit down and eat with us." Shen Anran's soft voice came from the side.

Only then did Liu's mother notice that there was someone else in the room. The voice startled her heart. She turned around abruptly, her eyes widening instantly as if she had seen a ghost.

Her voice was sharp and trembling: "You... aren't you dead?"

Shen Anran blinked innocently and asked in confusion: "Mom, what's wrong with you? How could I die? If I die, you won't be able to see me anymore."

"But I saw you with my own eyes..."

Mother Liu covered her mouth tightly with her hands halfway through her words and swallowed the rest of the words back.

There was a hint of cruelty in Shen Anran's eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, "What happened to me after seeing it with your own eyes?"

Mother Liu shook her head desperately and stepped back, as if she wanted to escape from everything in front of her. "Nothing... nothing."

Her hand had just touched the door handle and she was about to rush out, but Liu Shuming held her shoulders firmly.

Liu Shuming looked at her with a smile, but a cold light flashed in his eyes.

He said, "Mother, why are you in such a hurry? Stay and have dinner with us. Didn't you just say you were hungry?"

"I...I'm not hungry anymore. I suddenly remembered that I have something to deal with. I have to go now. You guys take your time eating."

There was a hint of panic in Liu's mother's voice. She wanted to escape eagerly, but Liu Shuming didn't give her a chance.

Shen Anran gently put down the chopsticks in his hand and walked slowly to Liu's mother.

He said gently, "Mom, you are right. We, the younger generations, should serve you well. Come, let's sit down and talk slowly."

She reached out and held Liu's mother's arm, and her movements were as intimate as a close mother and daughter.

But Liu's mother's body was shaking uncontrollably, and her eyes were full of fear.

Isn't this little bitch dead?

She saw with her own eyes that her heart was dug out, leaving no possibility of survival.

Are there really ghosts?

Shen Anran's voice dropped to a low level, like the whisper of a ghost from the underworld, ringing softly in Liu Mu's ears.

"Mom, hell is really cold. Please come down and keep me company. I feel so lonely."

Mother Liu suddenly pushed Shen Anran away and backed away screaming, "Ah! Don't come to me, it's not me who hurt you!"

Shen Anran's eyes turned cold, and she almost gritted her teeth as she said, "You had my heart dug out, and you killed your daughter with your own hands."

There was deep hatred in Liu's mother's eyes and her voice was full of resentment.

"It's not me, it's you! Why wasn't you the one who died back then?!"

"I should have strangled you when you were born. If it weren't for you, our family of three would be happy. It's you who ruined us. You are the one who should go to hell."

Mother Liu was so emotional that she lost her mind. She rushed towards Shen Anran, as if she wanted to kill her again.

Her hand touched Shen Anran's wrist, and Zhou Jingyan quickly took action and kicked Liu's mother away.

Mother Liu fell to the ground, laughing wildly.

"You are a monster. You are still alive after your heart was dug out. I will call the police and have you arrested. You will be stuck in a state of suffering." Her expression was full of distortion and anger.

Shen Anran seemed to have heard something interesting and she couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Mom, what were you talking about just now? Is your illness recurring? It seems we need to find a better hospital for Mom's treatment."

As soon as Shen Anran finished speaking, she made a phone call.

"Hello, is this a psychiatric hospital? Yes, my mother's mental state has been unstable recently, and I'd like to make an appointment with a professional doctor for treatment. Yes, the cost is not a problem, we need the best treatment. Okay, please send someone over as soon as possible."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Anran walked to her mother and said coldly: "Atone for the mistakes you made. She will miss you."

Mother Shen screamed crazily and kept shouting, "You are a monster, you are the one who deserves to die, you are not my daughter..."

Half an hour later, staff from the psychiatric hospital arrived at the scene.

Seeing that the patient's emotions were completely out of control, the medical staff immediately injected her with a sedative, and Liu's mother's emotions gradually calmed down.

Liu Shuming and Shen Anran went to the hospital together and completed the hospitalization procedures for her.

After all the formalities were completed, Liu Shuming stood at the hospital gate and said in a low voice, "She may never come out again in her lifetime."

Shen Anran turned her head and looked at Liu Shuming, saying slowly: "Don't you hate me? Just like she said, I'm a monster without a heart."
