"Just as I expected from a low-class female from a Barren Star. You don’t even have the most basic respect for your own mother.
If I had known you were such a heartless child, I never should have given birth to you.
I suffered so much for nothing, only to bring a completely ungrateful child into this world!"
Jiang Qin’s face was expressionless, but inside, she felt a pang of sorrow.
’When I was in the womb, this mother of mine didn’t talk like this. She said I was her precious baby.’
’But... that’s all in the past now.’
"So, what is it you’re trying to say, Ms. Jiang? I believe I’ve already repaid you for the gift of life."
The inheritance her father left behind should have been half hers, but she didn’t take a single cent, leaving it all to Jiang Yulian.
Besides, the reason she was still alive wasn’t because she was a child of the Jiang Family. It was because she had worked hard enough, been lucky enough, and t people who helped her along the way.
Otherwise, she would have died long ago.
Growing up, Jiang Qin had faced death at least eight, if not ten, tis.
Each ti, she had barely survived. So, she truly didn’t feel like her life belonged to anyone but herself.
Jiang Yulian was furious. The middle-aged male beside her couldn’t help but snap, "Watch your mouth. If you upset your mother again, don’t bla for getting rough!"
Shi Lichuan, who was standing by Jiang Qin’s side, imdiately stepped forward to shield her.
"If you’re looking for a spar, sir, why don’t you try ? What kind of man bullies a young female?"
"Hah. If you think sparring with Lichuan is picking on soone younger, you can spar with instead."
The one who spoke was Jiao Yankun. His beast form was a Cloud Mist Flying Horse, an S-level Beastman who was already 43 years old.
Usually, when Jiang Qin went out to work, she was escorted by three S-level males.
Shi Lichuan could block attacks for her, Jiao Yankun could help her escape, and the third was a primary attacker.
As for Jiang Yulian’s companion who had just spoken, he was only an A-level male. However, he was the deputy commander of a rcenary Corps, and his beast form was a Giant-Horned Ferocious Bear. His attack power was still quite formidable.
He might be able to defeat so S-level males with weaker beast forms, but he was no match for any of the three S-level males on Jiang Qin’s side.
He couldn’t win a one-on-one fight against any of them.
So for now, he could only swallow his anger and glare resentfully at Jiang Qin. It was impossible to know what he was thinking, but his gaze was terrifying.
’Ever since this little female was found and brought back, my partner has been furious ti and ti again.’
’I really regret passing that news to Jiang Yulian back then.’
’If she hadn’t co back, our family could have continued living a peaceful life.’
’Instead of having the family fight over her every other day.’
The males from both sides faced off.
Jiang Yulian, however, seed genuinely heartbroken. She looked sorrowfully at Jiang Qin’s beautiful, pale face and said in disbelief, "Are you really not going to acknowledge ? But I’m your biological mother."
"Then let ask you, my dear mother, when I was abducted, when so many people were looking for , what were you doing?"
"How dare you bring that up? If you wanted to stage your own kidnapping, that’s your business. The Jiang Family can’t get dragged into your drama.
Once it’s exposed, it will affect the reputations of your uncles."
Jiang Qin was so angry she laughed. "Staged it myself?"
’Did I stage my own life-or-death race against ti?’
’If I had been even one day later in receiving my reward and awakening my Superpower, I would have already been on an operating table, my brain cut open for inspection.’
"Wasn’t it? Weren’t you trying to get the most attention for your two songs at the last minute to push them to number one?
It’s not that I’m trying to criticize you, but the Jiang Family isn’t short on money. Don’t do this again. Popularity gained through deceit is never a good thing.
If you get exposed, you’ll drag our reputation down with you." Jiang Yulian said this with an air of complete conviction.
At that mont, she was the very picture of a mother lecturing her daughter on what she should and shouldn’t do.
Jiang Qin suddenly felt that this was all pointless.
’Forget it. I’ve been through this all before anyway.’
Jiang Yulian could believe anyone in the world, but she could never believe Jiang Qin.
No matter what she said, Jiang Yulian wouldn’t believe her. Even when she finally proved herself, she wouldn’t receive an apology from her mother, only complaints.
Complaints that she was immature and always causing trouble, even when she was the one being troubled.
Complaints that she was manipulative for keeping evidence of everything, and for not presenting that evidence sooner.
And even more complaints that she was too petty and not magnanimous enough.
’Hilarious. I’m the one being bullied, yet I’m expected to be generous about it.’ Jiang Qin sotis thought that what her mother wanted wasn’t a daughter, but to save face.
’The love I felt in the womb was probably just because of my gender.’
In the Interstellar era, giving birth to a female was a source of pride.
It was just like how people in ancient tis valued sons over daughters.
The reason she had compromised ti and again was that Jiang Yulian always talked about how difficult the pregnancy was, how dangerous the birth was, and how she had given her life.
Just like now.
In her previous life, Jiang Qin had been completely controlled by that one line.
Because she was a girl herself, she understood the hardships of childbirth and could empathize with her mother.
So even when she was grievously wronged, she couldn’t bear to make a mother sad.
Later... when she truly couldn’t bear it anymore, and felt she had already paid back the debt of her life, she finally left the Jiang Family.
But now, she had been given a chance to live again. This life was given to her by the system!
’I don’t owe her anymore.’
So, Jiang Qin nodded resolutely. "That’s right. I don’t acknowledge you!
I thought I made it perfectly clear before. From now on, we have no relationship whatsoever.
In the citizen registry system, my file lists only . I have no relatives.
We are strangers. Whether I stage my own kidnapping or commit murder and arson, I’ll be the one going to prison. It has nothing to do with any of you!"
Jiang Yulian raised her hand to slap Jiang Qin, just like on the day she was reborn. But this ti, Jiang Qin caught her wrist.
Her improved Physique wasn’t for nothing. Restraining another female was now an easy task for her.
"Ms. Jiang, even though you’re a female, you can’t just assault another female whenever you please. I hope you can abide by the law!"
Jiang Qin stressed the last four words, "abide by the law."
Nearby, Xie An’an and the others, who had been worried about Jiang Qin, breathed a sigh of relief when they saw she wasn’t at a disadvantage.
A confrontation between two female Beastn was not sothing they could interfere in. If they touched Jiang Yulian and the Jiang Family decided to pursue the matter, they could face legal charges.
So, they could only block Jiang Yulian’s companions and stay out of the conflict between mother and daughter.
"I am your mother! Disciplining my own child is not against the law," Jiang Yulian said, her eyes red with anger.
It was hard to say whether it was sorrow, anger, or humiliation, but in any case, she found being abandoned by her own child incredibly painful.
Even if there was to be abandonnt, it should have been her, the mother, abandoning the child.
Not the child telling her, "I don’t acknowledge you!"
"You’re just a C-level female. Do you really think you can live a good life on Blue Star all by yourself?
Without your mother’s support, without your family’s support, you could be abducted by so male one day and no one would even notice.
Jiang Qin, this world isn’t as simple as you think. If I weren’t your mother, do you think I’d care enough to bother with you??"
