Chapter 969: Break Off (3)

“But I can’t keep asking my daughter for benefits. It’s not like we’re so poor that we can’t survive…” Of course, Xue Yun wanted her son to have a better future. However, the Ling family was already very rich. Couldn’t they just let the two of them interact?

“We’re so poor that we can’t survive anymore! Recently, a few things have happened to the Ling Group, causing the capital chain to be almost broken. I just didn’t tell you.” If it were in the past, Ling Feng wouldn’t have made things so difficult for her. But now, it wasn’t the same. The Ling Group really couldn’t do anything wrong now.

Xue Yun was shocked. “How can that be?! Isn’t our family on par with the Bo Group?”

“That was a few years ago. Bo Junyan is a business genius. After he took over the Bo Group, the Bo Group has been developing rapidly every year. And because of bad luck, the Ling Group has been going downhill for the past few years. Recently, bad things have been happening one after another. It has reached the point where it might go bankrupt.” Although Ling Feng had deliberately made the situation sound serious, the days of being on par with each other had indeed passed.

“Then… then…” When Xue Yun heard that the Ling Group was in trouble, she was momentarily at a loss.

“This is a critical moment. Otherwise, why would I need you to do such a thing?”

“But…” Xue Yun thought for a while. “It’s might be possible this time, but after that, I really won’t be able to face Xiao Huan anymore.”

Her daughter had already said that she wanted to settle everything. If Xue Yun still wanted such benefits, she’d really have no face to show her daughter again.

“Alright, I won’t make things difficult for you after this!” Ling Feng agreed.

However, he had other plans.

Yun Cheng…

When she received a call from Xue Yun asking Ling Feng to talk to Bo Junyan, Mu Huan could not help but feel upset.

Even though this was her suggestion, she still felt terrible.

Although she knew in her heart that her mother would definitely choose this in the end, Mu Huan could not help but wish for the opposite. She’d hoped that she would really do as she said and not want anything. If she could meet her often, all she wanted was to make it up to her as a daughter and love her well.

“I’m sorry, Xiao Huan… I didn’t want this to happen. I really didn’t want this to happen… But your Uncle Ling said that the Ling Group is in a crisis…” Xue Yun kept apologizing.

She knew that even if this was Mu Huan’s suggestion, her decision would still make her sad and upset.

“It’s alright, Mom. I was the one who disturbed your life. You don’t have to apologize to me.” It was her fault. This was compensation. She didn’t have to feel sorry for her.

“Xiao Huan, don’t say such things. I’m your mother and you’re my daughter. Let’s not go so far as to be so polite and unfamiliar with each other. You didn’t disturb Mom’s life. It’s Mom who’s too selfish. It’s Mom who has let you down and abandoned you for ten years. Now, I’m even treating you like this. Mom doesn’t deserve to be a mother. She doesn’t deserve you to treat me well…” She wasn’t a good mother. She was a selfish and bad mother!

“Xiao Huan… I’m sorry… I’m really sorry… I really didn’t want this to happen…”

“Mom, you really don’t have to apologize. You don’t have to feel sorry for me. Since you’ve made such a choice, don’t live your life with guilt in your heart. The happiness you’ll live in the future has to be worthy of such a choice.” No matter what, Mu Huan hoped that her mother could live a happy life.

“Xiao Huan…” Xue Yun’s voice was choked.

“Bye, Mom. If you no longer want to live with the Ling family one day, you can come back and find me. Other than that, don’t come looking for me again.”
