Meng Tingwan's words clearly stunned Lu Ke, who also seemed somewhat evasive.

"What? You're complaining now? If I don't come to see you, won't you come home to see me and your dad?"

How do you know I didn't go back?

Lu Ke frowned. "When did you go back?"

Meng Tingwan sat up straight and said calmly, "First day back in the country."

Lu Ke had no recollection of it at all. "When did you return to China?"

Meng Tingwan smiled.

When did you return to China?

Is this something a mother would say to her daughter?

No, perhaps in her heart, she no longer considers herself her daughter.

"It's been too long, I forgot."

Meng Tingwan clenched her palms tightly, afraid that she would lose control of her emotions.

She will never forget the day she returned to China!

Lu Ke had already lost her patience. Thinking of the reason she came here today, she directly changed the subject, "I don't care when you come back to China. It's one thing if you haven't been home for five years, but now the Meng Group needs an heir. Your father and I can't stay in the company forever."

"so what?"

"So, your dad wants you to get married."

After Lu Ke finished speaking,

Meng Tingwan instantly understood that this was the real reason her mother had come here.

She smiled gently. "If I need an heir, I can have one myself. Why should I get married?"

Lu Ke looked her up and down, his eyes clearly showing disbelief. "You?"

"Now that you're in the entertainment industry, have you been involved in any company-related matters? Or, to put it another way, are you capable of managing a company?"

"Why should I question my ability if I don't even try?"

Meng Tingwan countered, "So what you and Father mean is that I should get married and then let that person manage the Meng family business, right?"

“Yes.” Lu Ke nodded.

As a mother, her expression remained completely calm when she looked at her daughter across from her.

It was as if that wasn't her daughter, but a stranger.

Meng Tingwan looked at Lu Ke, her heart filled with bitterness.

Her mother's gaze, in particular, stabbed her heart like a knife, and the pain continued to swirl and twist, drawing blood.

"Mom, in your and Dad's eyes, am I really that hateful? You'd rather let me marry any outsider and let him manage the company than trust me, is that right?"

Listening to Meng Tingwan's accusatory words, Lu Ke remained cold, and upon closer inspection, one could see a trace of hatred in her expression.

“That’s right, because you can’t be trusted. Have you forgotten what you’ve done?” Lu Ke almost roared as he said this, his voice trembling.

Meng Tingwan suddenly gripped the hem of her dress, seemingly provoked by her words; her eyes reddened, and her whole body trembled.

Even so, I will never get married.

I have already paid the price for what happened back then, and I will no longer let them manipulate me.

Lu Ke didn't expect her to reject him, and with such a resolute attitude at that.

Then, she jumped up from the sofa, pointed at Meng Tingwan, her gentle face turning ferocious almost instantly, and vicious words followed:

"How could I have given birth to such a selfish and self-centered daughter? If you hadn't lost your sister and caused your brother's death back then, how could our Meng family have fallen to this state?"

"Meng Tingwan, did you plan to take over the Meng family all by yourself from that moment on, and that's why you deliberately abandoned your sister and ran away alone?!"

After Lu Ke finished speaking, she felt that this was very likely, and then continued:

"It must be true, it must be! And your brother, he was so young, he hadn't even had a chance to see the world yet, and because of this, you made me angry and caused him to miscarry. It wasn't enough that you killed your sister, you also had to murder your unborn brother. How could you be so cruel!"

"At such a young age, your mind is so vicious. Your sister was only five years old and sick, and you so heartlessly abandoned her. Do you dare say that her death wasn't caused by you? Do you dare say that?!"

“You definitely wouldn’t dare, because that’s exactly what you’re going to do. That day was just like today, with heavy rain and thunder, and you just left Xingxing like that. She must have been terrified.”

Meng Tingwan sat there with her head down, her hands gripping the sofa tightly, listening to Lu Ke's furious roar without saying a word.

She just felt a void before her eyes, unable to see anything clearly, and the world was spinning.

Her head felt like it was being pierced by countless needles, and the pain was so intense that she wished she could die immediately.

Tears streamed down my face unconsciously, and my breathing became rapid.

She struggled to raise her arm, pointing towards the door, her fingertips trembling uncontrollably, and managed to utter a single word.

"roll."

Lu Ke was shocked.

I can't believe my ears. "What did you say? Say it again!"

"Get out! I told you to get out!" Meng Tingwan raised her head, her eyes wide, her back teeth clenched tightly, her expression terrifying.

Lu Ke's heart clenched, startled by her expression, and she involuntarily took a step back. "You..."

"Get out! I don't want to see you, get out of here right now!"

Meng Tingwan roared, her voice filled with anger and despair.

She stood up shakily, grabbed a cushion next to her, and threw it at Lu Ke.

Lu Ke was hit by a cushion and fell back onto the sofa.

Meng Tingwan's emotions had clearly reached their peak. She only knew that she was in great pain, and the pain and helplessness made her wish she could die with the person in front of her.

The next second, Lu Ke saw a ceramic cup flying towards her. She didn't have time to dodge and was hit squarely.

The cup struck her squarely on the temple, then shattered on the ground.

"You're insane! Are you trying to kill me?" Lu Ke covered the spot where she had been hit with her hand, blood flowing from her palm. She was still shaken and wanted to leave immediately.

"If you don't get out of here, I'll kill you right now!"

Meng Tingwan stared at her intently, her expression no different from that of a demon who had walked out of hell.

Lu Ke was truly terrified. She scrambled to her feet from the sofa and stumbled toward the door.

Watching her departing figure, Meng Tingwan bent over, placed her hands on the coffee table, and burst into tears.

Lu Ke's words kept replaying in my mind.

"You're the one who lost your sister and caused your brother's death!"

"Your sister is only five years old and sick, and you just abandoned her!"

"You're so young, yet you're so wicked. How could I have such a selfish and self-centered daughter!"

Meng Tingwan closed her eyes and shook her head violently. "I didn't mean to, I didn't mean to, I didn't lose the star, I didn't, ah!!"

She completely lost control.

He reached out and swept everything off the coffee table onto the floor.

Expensive teaware and fruit plates were smashed all over the floor.

When Diudiu heard the commotion, she immediately ran over, a star-shaped doll still in her mouth.

"Wang Wang Wang"

It chirped softly a few times, immediately attracting Meng Tingwan's attention.

When Diudiu saw her look, she seemed to be startled as well. She suddenly let go of the star doll in her mouth, and the doll fell to the ground.

Upon seeing this, Meng Tingwan immediately knelt down and picked it up, repeatedly apologizing, "Xingxing, I didn't mean to, I didn't mean to leave you behind, I didn't do it on purpose."

She used too much force, causing the dolls to become deformed.

"I'm sorry, Xingxing, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry..."

Meng Tingwan trembled all over, her hands holding the doll shaking uncontrollably. In the end, for some reason, she simply tore the doll apart.

All the cotton fibers inside floated out and danced in the air.

Diudiu wanted to get closer to her, but remained standing still, too afraid to go forward.

It didn't know what was wrong with its owner; it only knew that its owner looked both dangerous and pitiful.
