However, Cui Wenwen was bowing her head and eating her porridge, while her mother, Shangguan Wuqiu, watched her with a gentle and indulgent gaze.

Seeing Wenwen enjoying her meal, a gentle smile rose on her stunningly beautiful face.

More than ten minutes later, Wenwen finished her porridge.

Shangguan Wuqiu asked her to rest on the living room sofa for a while and then take a bath and go to bed, while she herself cleaned up the dishes and headed to the kitchen to wash them.

Having finished cleaning the dishes, Shangguan Wuqiu walked out of the kitchen gracefully toward the living room sofa and unintentionally saw that, although her daughter was watching TV, her mind was elsewhere.

Wenwen snapped out of her trance only when Shangguan Wuqiu sat down beside her and turned to call out, “Mom.”

“Wenwen, is something bothering you?” Shangguan Wuqiu extended her fair, jade-like hand and gently held Wenwen’s small hand, looking into her beautiful eyes as she asked.

Wenwen lowered her head, trying to avoid her mother’s gaze, and after hesitating a moment, finally spoke in a soft voice, “Mom, I don’t want to go to school this week.”

“What’s wrong?” Shangguan Wuqiu’s expression froze, and then she asked with slightly furrowed brows, “Is the school too chaotic?

Is someone bothering you?”

She was aware of the school’s reputation and had always been worried about it.

If her daughter had an ordinary appearance it might have been fine, but unfortunately, Wenwen inherited her looks, which often led to trouble.

“Something like that.

But, it might be fine after a week.” Wenwen said.

Shangguan Wuqiu sighed weakly, remained silent for a while, then said, “Alright, you don’t have to attend school this week.

I’ll call your homeroom teacher to ask for leave.”

“Okay,” Wenwen replied.

Mother and daughter remained silent for a moment, and then Shangguan Wuqiu gently spoke, “Wenwen, why don’t you just skip school for the entire month?

Mom’s book has had some small success recently, and there will be a substantial royalty…”

“Mom, your book is doing well?” Wenwen exclaimed happily, interrupting Shangguan Wuqiu.

Shangguan Wuqiu chuckled, “You could say that.

Our life will improve from now on.”

She resumed her previously interrupted statement, “In a few days when the royalty comes through, you should be able to transfer to Mingde High School.

It has a strict school environment, and although it’s a bit far from home, you won’t have to worry about being harassed anymore.”

“Yay, that’s great!” Wenwen jumped up excitedly.

Over the years, they had relied on each other as mother and daughter.

She knew her mother, being too beautiful, could easily attract trouble when working outside, so she had to stay at home, earning a meager income through writing.

Fortunately, the house they lived in was their own, without the pressure of rent, so they could live a fairly ordinary life.

Half an hour later, Wenwen had bathed and went to her room, happily falling asleep.

In Shangguan Wuqiu’s room, although it was past eleven o’clock, she had no intention of going to bed.

She stood in front of the window, staring blankly through the glass at the dark, chilly night outside, while the cold wind howled.

Despite the heating being on in the room, she still felt cold.

“How many years has it been…” Suddenly, her lips parted faintly, emitting a distant sigh.

After a while, she turned back, walked to her bed, picked up her phone from the nightstand, and sat on the edge of the bed to turn it on.

After hesitating for a moment, she finally entered a phone number and dialed it.

The phone rang for a while and then connected, emitting the voice of an elderly woman from the other end, “Hello?

Who is it?”

“…Mom, it’s me…” Shangguan Wuqiu’s voice trembled as she spoke these four words.

“…Wuqiu?” An excited voice came from the phone.

With a choked voice, Shangguan Wuqiu responded, “Yes, mom, it’s me, Wuqiu.”

“Wuuu…” A crying voice suddenly came from the phone, “My dear Guo’er, Mum thought she would never see you again.

Why did you wait till now to call me…

Wuuu…

I was so worried…

Wuuu…”

Shangguan Wuqiu couldn’t help but sob softly.

Over the phone, after a bout of tears, the voice on the other end stopped crying and asked, “Guo’er, have you been well these past years?”

“I…

have been doing alright…” Shangguan Wuqiu replied hesitantly.

The other party immediately discerned something from her tone, an angry voice followed, “Is that boy not treating you well?!

He is truly heartless!”

“Mom, it’s not his fault,” Shangguan Wuqiu defended, “He died in a car accident ten years ago.”

“Ten years?!” The middle-aged woman exclaimed, “My silly daughter, why didn’t you come home sooner?”

Shangguan Wuqiu and her mom exchanged their feelings for nearly half an hour.

Eventually, her mom said, “Guo’er, come back home.

Stop being stubborn, your dad and I have forgiven you long ago, we’re looking forward to your return every day.”

“Mmm.

I’ll come to see you and dad after some days,” Shangguan Wuqiu replied.

Upon hearing this, her mom responded with joy, “Good, come back quickly.”

Shangguan Wuqiu said, “Mom, I want to…”

“What?” Her mom asked, “What do you want to say?”

After a long silence, Shangguan Wuqiu said, “I want to borrow a hundred thousand yuan from you.”

After saying this, she felt a wave of shame, her cheeks burning.

She had been so resolute back then, yet now…

“Okay.

Just send me your bank account,” her mom immediately said.

“Thank you, Mom,” Shangguan Wuqiu said, still feeling her face burning hot.

Her mom replied, “I’m your mom, why are you being so polite with me?”

After saying a few more words, they finally ended the call.

After hanging up, Shangguan Wuqiu sat on her bed, leaning back with a melancholic expression, and sighed deeply.

She didn’t actually have an upcoming payment for her manuscript fees.

For her daughter, she had no choice but to brazenly ask her mom for money.

She was traditionally a novelist, and getting her works published and receiving manuscript fees was challenging.

With publishing becoming increasingly difficult and novels earning little money, she was forced by financial pressure to switch to being an online writer several months ago.

However, online novels were quite different from traditional published novels, so she had to relearn how to write web novels.

Just last month, she had registered as an author on a popular women’s fiction site and started a new book.

Currently, the novel was still in the free-access phase, and it would be at least one to two months before she might see any money from it.

Therefore, she would have no income for the next six months, relying only on some manuscript fees she had accumulated earlier.

However, her daughter’s school situation had become so chaotic that her daughter dared not go to school anymore, and she had to find a way for her daughter to transfer schools.

Amidst Shangguan Wuqiu’s turbulent emotions, her phone suddenly received a text message.

She casually opened it, only to discover it was a bank notification of a money transfer.

It was her mother transferring money to her.

She carefully looked at the transferred amount—it wasn’t a hundred thousand but three million.

Looking at those zeros, she couldn’t help but cover her mouth tightly, sobbing softly, “Wuuu…

Mom…

Wuuu…”
