Seeing her daughter's resolute attitude, Shi's mother tightened her grip on her daughter's arm slightly and asked, "What do you mean by this?" She seemed to not have heard clearly and wanted Shi Qing to confirm her thoughts.
"You should have heard it clearly, so stop pretending," Shi Qing said, mercilessly exposing her mother's feigned ignorance.
"You, you ungrateful child, I'm your mother, how can you treat me like this?" Shi's mother habitually reached out and slapped Shi Qing's arm a few times, hard.
Shi Qing didn't even blink. She was long used to her mother's habit of hitting her, moreover, at this moment, she wanted to sever their mother-daughter relationship. If Shi's mother couldn't expect any financial benefit from her in the future, her anxious and fretful expression now seemed quite normal to Shi Qing.
This is her mother, who puts money above everything else!
