Guilongchao: I played the domineering CEO to the bone.

"Uh... well, dear client, I'm sorry, but Dragon Tide Pavilion can't accept your case anymore. We'll refund you later..."

Faced with Rin's mother's demands and questions, Hitomi scratched her head and chuckled awkwardly, indicating that she didn't even dare to get close...

The smile on Min Moyou's face was a little too "friendly," hehe...

Tong turned to run away, but Zhu Sha grabbed her, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't escape.

Minmoyou: Why do you think I agreed to let Zhusha come to visit you? I've been waiting for this day.

"Alright, Xiaolin's mother, why make things difficult for them?"

Using the guise of entrusting someone to try and make my woman oppose me is ridiculous.

"call......."

Xiao Lin's mother glared hatefully at the two good-for-nothings she had hired from Longchao Pavilion, took a deep breath, and calmed herself down.

Since that's the case, then I will take my daughter back with my own hands!

"Since that's the case, sir, just tell me your conditions. As long as you're willing to give me back my Xiao Lin, I can give you anything you want."

Xiaolin's mother forced herself to calm down, crossed her arms, and tried to appear more confident.

Min Moyou scoffed at this.

"It's not so much that I'm not giving Xiao Lin back to you, but rather that Xiao Lin doesn't want to go back with you, isn't it? Can't you see that by now?"

Xiao Lin, hiding behind Min Moyou, nodded silently.

"How could that be! She's my precious daughter! We're the closest of friends! How could she not want to come home with me!"

Xiao Lin's mother broke down instantly, her tone becoming extremely fierce, as if Min Moyou's words had touched upon some taboo territory.

“You might as well take a good look. I’ve only ever stopped you. Did I ever try to stop Xiao Lin? Otherwise, try calling her. Do you see if she answers? I absolutely won’t stop her.”

Faced with Xiao Lin's mother's almost out-of-control expression, Min Moyou remained calm and raised her chin, indicating: Please.

"Rin! Rin! It's Mommy! Why aren't you back with Mommy?"

Seeing this, Rin's mother lowered her body slightly, opened her arms, and called out to little Rin in a kind and gentle voice:

"Xiao Lin, come home with Mommy. Mommy promises I'll never argue with you again."

"Xiao Lin, he didn't threaten you, did he? Don't be afraid! Mommy's right here! If he bullies you and doesn't let you go home, Mommy will definitely protect you!"

"Xiao Lin, didn't you want to go to the amusement park? Why don't you come home with Mom, and we'll talk about it then, okay?"

"Xiao Lin..."

Hiding behind Min Moyou, Xiao Lin was not moved by the calls. Instead, she hugged Min Moyou's waist even more in fear and refused to look at her mother.

She had heard this kind of rhetoric... no, or rather, this kind of lie countless times, and had been fooled by it countless times.

This time, she's finally found a brave hero who can lead her away from the clutches of her wicked mother! This Frost Goddess must hold on tight! She won't be fooled by her wicked mother's poisoned apple again!

"See? She doesn't want to go with you, that's a fact."

Min Moyou ruthlessly shattered her illusions about the mother-daughter relationship.

"No! This can't be! This can't be!!! It must be you! You must have used despicable means to threaten my daughter!"

Rin's mother was heartbroken. She couldn't understand why Rin, who was usually so obedient, had suddenly become disobedient today.

She's devoted so much time and money to Xiaolin! She works so hard every day, taking care of her! Xiaolin should reciprocate with equal effort and love!!!

"Because you don't understand what kind of life Xiaolin wants at all. You just force your own ideals onto her; you're just using your position based on kinship to force your will to make her free thoughts submit."

"All your efforts are just your own ideas, aimed at achieving your own goals, making up for your regrets when you were young, and creating a perfect daughter that you can show off. Therefore, you have no right to demand that Xiaolin pay an equal 'contribution' to you."

"All along, you've just been indulging in self-pity. You've never been willing to listen to your child's thoughts or give her the freedom she deserves. You've only used the name of love as a shackle to control her."

"You are not a good mother."

Knowing the plot and Xiao Lin's background well, Min Moyou's every word was like a sharp knife, accurately piercing the darkest, ugliest, and most selfish weaknesses in Lin's mother's heart.

With each word he spoke, Xiao Lin, who was clinging to him from behind, trembled even more violently—yes! He hit the nail on the head! He was speaking for this goddess! He was absolutely right! That's how I've always felt! The words I'd never been able to say before, he finally said them today!!

Tears of excitement streamed down Xiao Lin's face and smeared onto the back of Min Moyou's suit.

Xiao Lin understands her mother, and perhaps even today she can't convince her mother to recognize her flawed parenting methods—but! Even if, in the end, Xiao Lin has no choice but to give in and go home with her mother again, she will feel incredibly lucky and joyful to have met such a kind and handsome 'brave' older brother who was willing to save her from dire straits!

As expected...

"What do you know! What do you, a young man, know?! It's obvious your parents didn't raise you properly!"

Enraged, Rin's mother launched a personal attack!

"Who do you think you are? Do you think you understand Xiao Lin better than her mother?! Xiao Lin is still young. If she doesn't work hard now, she'll suffer later! She'll have to work odd jobs! She'll have to carry bricks!"

"Is carrying bricks harder or is practicing harder for her? Can't she tell the difference?!"

"I absolutely will not allow my daughter, whom I've raised with so much effort, to go into factory work or construction sites to do those dirty and tiring jobs like carrying bricks!!!"

"Do you know how talented she is at figure skating? Others can only envy her. Shouldn't she take advantage of her youth and fully unleash her talent?!"

"Do you know that figure skating is an art form that relies on youth?! When she gets older and her physical abilities decline, no matter how talented she is, she will only be surpassed by younger people!"

"She must take advantage of her youth to master all the skills and abilities, participate in enough competitions, and win dozens, even hundreds of championships! Accumulate enough fame! Only then can she continue to live off her past achievements after retiring from her prime! Only then can she avoid being brought back to square one! Only then can she monetize everything she has invested in her youth! Only then can she achieve upward mobility! Do you understand?!"

"She still needs to study her academic subjects and can only participate in a few competitions a year. She's only won about twenty championships so far, and many of those competitions aren't prestigious enough! And all she thinks about is playing all day?! Doesn't she know she doesn't have many years left of her youth?! She's not worried, but I'm worried sick about her every day, I'm almost dying of worry!!!"

"You young people can't plan that far ahead, you don't understand these things, it's because you lack experience! When you get married and have children, you'll understand my good intentions for Xiaolin! But what right do you have to stop me from taking my daughter back to raise her?!"

"You're ruining her!!!"

"Xiao Lin! No matter how many sweet words he says to you, don't believe him! He's ruining you!!!"

Lin's mother launched into a tirade against Min Moyou, and these heartfelt words deeply moved her...

Don't misunderstand, Min Moyou wasn't moved by her, it's just that her words were so similar to the things his parents used to tell him when he was young.

He and Xiao Lin deeply empathized with each other.

He vowed when he was young that he would never become a parent like that; he wanted to be a reasonable and understanding parent.

Faced with problematic parents like Xiaolin's mother, he had to take decisive action!

Min Moyou remained unfazed and reached out to stop Lin Mu, who was about to continue attacking.

"Since you can't convince me, and I can't convince you either—then I don't intend to convince you either."

He's a powerful CEO now; a few words from him can change a person's life—and he's willing to let Xiao Lin become that person.

"You just mentioned that everything you did was for Xiao Lin's sake, right? To accumulate enough fame for her to monetize everything you've invested? To help her achieve a leap in social class, right?"

"The idea is good, but all of this doesn't just mean making Rin follow your plan like a puppet; it also doesn't mean that Rin needs to practice day and night like a heartless figure skating machine, without sleep or entertainment."

"Heh, you make it sound so easy..."

Xiao Lin's mother looked at Min Moyou as if she were looking at a child who didn't know the immensity of the world.

"What else can we do? Let her go crazy and play all day? Shout those weird things? Lie in bed and sleep in every day? What can she possibly accomplish?"

Lin's mother could tell that Min Moyou's clothes were very exquisite and could be described as luxurious—although she didn't quite understand them, it didn't stop her from being self-righteous and, from what she believed to be an absolutely correct standpoint, from mocking Min Moyou:

"So, sir, do you have any particularly successful entrepreneurial experience? Or were you born with a silver spoon in your mouth? You have no idea..."

Just then, as the little spirit pupil in Lin's mother's pocket trembled, a notification sound suddenly rang out, abruptly interrupting Lin's mother's sarcastic remarks.

"Jiulong Account, Received: 100 Million Jiufang Coins".

The warning sound is not loud, but its deterrent effect is extremely strong.

Min Moyou had, of course, arranged for someone to investigate Lin's mother's savings account beforehand, and was just waiting to plan this moment—

"You don't need to care whether I succeeded in starting a business or was born into a wealthy family..."

Min Moyou beckoned Xiao Lin, who was hiding behind him, to come forward and face Lin's mother, who was standing there stunned.

"What I'm going to tell you is that what can help Xiaolin succeed is—capital."

In front of Lin's mother, Min Moyou pulled Xiao Lin into her arms, tilted her head, and smiled provocatively:

"And I happen to have that ability."

The voice just fell,

The notification sound read, "Kowloon Account, received: 100 million Jiu Fang coins."

Then it rang ten more times in a row.
