Chapter 174: Only Daughter

The matter of studying at Fenghua Media has been completely settled.

Meng Zeming is not so foolish as to teach everything; after all, they are still considered competitors.

He simply had someone take that group to the Live Streaming Room to watch; whether they can grasp anything depends on themselves.

…

As for the matter of training the Company's newcomers, A Fu finally doesn't have to bear it alone.

How much faster is it to just take people to another company for a crash course?

Sometimes Lin Sui even envies herself; how can a person be this smart?

Judging by the current situation, this person Meng Zeming is actually quite easy to talk to.

Lin Sui has acknowledged the status of this cousin of hers.

But regarding these recent events, Lin Sui feels it is necessary to go and have a chat with her mother.

Lest she settle one here, only for another relative to pop up in a few days looking for her.

Why not show up herself, instead of always finding others to harass her?

It just so happens that she got her contact information from Lin Shui'e last time.

Lin Sui thought for a moment and sent a text message first to test the waters.

Lin Sui: "Hello."

A brief yet polite greeting.

Her WeChat name is her own name, so she isn't worried about the other party not recognizing her.

After about two minutes, the other party replied: "What is it?"

Lin Sui: "Are you free right now?"

Meng Ke: "I only have ten minutes."

Without another word, Lin Sui placed a video call.

Meng Ke was stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting the other party to be so bold.

But she still answered it.

The moment the call connected, two somewhat similar faces appeared on the phone screen, one a youthful version, one a middle-aged version.

Meng Ke had watched Lin Sui's Live Streaming and knew she looked like this, so she wasn't too surprised.

Lin Sui, however, took a few extra looks at her.

"What is it?" Meng Ke asked first.

As if she hadn't done anything else to Lin Sui, she was as calm as a stranger.

Lin Sui withdrew her gaze; even though the other party was the mother she hadn't seen in over a decade, she felt no attachment.

In terms of being cold-hearted, it is likely hereditary.

"Mom, can I call you that?" Lin Sui asked.

Meng Ke paused, "Who else would you want to call Mom?"

Lin Sui nodded, "Then you acknowledge me as your daughter."

Meng Ke: "Of course, you are my only daughter."

Lin Sui: "Then please, Mother, next time you want to show concern for me, ask me yourself; don't send others, okay?"

Meng Ke: "..."

While Meng Ke was silent, Lin Sui said with a solemn expression: "I know you care about me, but you don't dare to disturb me. But I also long for my mother's concern; I don't need the hypocrisy of others."

She instantly framed her as a good mother who wants to care for her daughter but is afraid to appear.

Meng Ke couldn't tell if Lin Sui really thought that way or if she was testing something.

She didn't respond, wanting to see what Lin Sui would say next.

Lin Sui first raised her eyes to glance at her, and the moment she met her gaze, she shifted her eyes away.

"As an only daughter, I have never dared to look my mother in the eye, because I am afraid of seeing my mother's profound gaze."

"My mother's eyes are the thing I fear seeing most in this life, and my mother's praise is the compliment I most want to hear in this life."

"So promise me, come yourself next time, okay?"

Meng Ke: "..."

"Enough!"

As a shrewd person, it would be impolite not to realize that Lin Sui was being sarcastic.

"Since you already know, I'll be blunt with you: I don't want you in this line of work; come home."

She assumed that since Lin Sui could find her, Meng Zeming must have told her something.

After all, when Lin Shui'e looked for her before, she hadn't come to confront her.

Lin Sui raised an eyebrow, "Then which line of work do you want me to be in?"

Just a moment ago she said she didn't dare look her mother in the eye, and now she looks like she wants to stare right through her.

Meng Ke: "I want you to go home and stay there, do you understand? Or go back to school for a master's or doctorate; what can't you do?"

Running out to do this kind of work shortly after graduation is not profound at all.

"You look a bit like my dad did back then," Lin Sui smiled, "Isn't it true that people who aren't of the same family don't enter the same house? Interesting."

The main reason they divorced back then was that Meng Ke was the one going out to show her face and earn money.

It made her dad look like a kept man.

In that era, such a situation was indeed easily looked down upon.

He tried to persuade Meng Ke several times to no avail, and ultimately chose divorce.

Now that Lin Sui is earning her own money, her mother has become the one saying her work is not respectable.

The tides of fortune turn, but can they really turn like this?

Meng Ke's expression darkened, as if she had also thought of some past events.

In the end, only four words popped out of her mouth: "I am your mother!"

Lin Sui didn't care: "Which relative do you plan to find next to chat with me? Or are you preparing to come chat with me yourself?"

Meng Ke sneered, "You expect me to make a move? If I make a move, it won't be this friendly."

"..."

Lin Sui was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked a few questions that caught Meng Ke off guard: "You tell me to go home, but which home are you telling me to go back to? If I don't work, will you support me?"

"Will you pay for my master's and doctoral tuition?"

"After I listen to your arrangements, will your Company be inherited by me in the future?"

Meng Ke's complexion became increasingly ugly.

She truly hadn't thought about these questions, but...

"You chose your dad!"

In other words, for those questions of hers, she should go find her dad.

If her dad is dead, then find her dad's relatives!

"I didn't choose," Lin Sui said innocently. "It was the court that decided at the time."

"Mother! How I wanted to follow you back then! You have no idea how I've spent these years without you!"

This kind of "selling misery" sentence structure works every time.

Unfortunately, this time she ran into someone whose sympathy wasn't that strong.

Meng Ke watched Lin Sui act quietly, her heart completely unmoved, "It's too late."

"It's not too late!" Lin Sui said earnestly. "As long as you are willing to take me home now, my entire future will be up to you!"

"You don't look favorably upon my work, that's fine. I can learn from scratch, and in the future, I will inherit everything of yours, including your Company!"

Meng Ke blurted out, "In your dreams!"

Lin Sui said solemnly, "I am your only daughter!"

Just because you are my biological mother, does that mean I'm not your only daughter?

Meng Ke was a bit impatient: "You don't have to be; I can give birth to another one at any time."

Lin Sui: "Oh... then you are quite strong."

Meng Ke: "..."

"Alright, I see it now, you have no feelings for me whatsoever."

Lin Sui seemed to have let it go, sighing lightly, "Madam, I wish you an early birth of a precious child."

After she finished this sentence, she hung up the video call directly.

Meng Ke gripped her phone tightly, the screen reflecting her face, which was twisted with rage.

Afterwards, she quickly sent a message to Lin Sui, "Don't force me."

Lin Sui: "Madam, who are you???"

Meng Ke: "I am your mother!"

Lin Sui: "Cursing? Blocked."

Meng Ke: "..."
