"Qianyu!" The couple exclaimed in unison, quickly getting out of bed and running downstairs.
They saw Bai Qianyu sitting on the sofa with her luggage, looking extremely exhausted.
Gu Manli’s face was full of pity, "Qianyu, weren’t you doing well in the United States? Why did you come back so suddenly? What happened?"
"I broke up with Luo Chen!" At the mention of Luo Chen, Bai Qianyu showed utter disdain.
Gu Manli observed her expression and said, "I told you, the two of you wouldn’t last. You wouldn’t listen to your mother back then and insisted on going to the United States with him!"
"Mom! Is there any point in saying this now?" Bai Qianyu looked displeased, "Oh, I’m so tired! I just want to take a shower and sleep!"
"Alright, alright, go on!"
Bai Qianyu left Gu Manli and Bai Hongguang behind, walking alone to her room on the second floor, feeling only exhaustion without any joy of returning home.
Bai Hongguang and Gu Manli exchanged glances and followed her upstairs.
Bai Qianyu took a nice shower and came out of the bathroom, only to see Gu Manli in her room.
"Qianyu, tell Mom, what really happened?"
Sitting at the dressing table, Bai Qianyu carelessly applied lotion, "Nothing much, I just couldn’t stand him anymore, so we broke up!" Mentioning Luo Chen, Bai Qianyu’s disdain became evident, "I never expected him to be such an incompetent man, living off me in the United States and even daring to cheat! I must have been blind back then to have liked him!"
"That’s why I said Luo Chen wasn’t right! You just wouldn’t believe it! If you had listened to Mom back then and pursued Leng Yichen, maybe you would have been a wealthy lady by now instead of ending up in this situation!"
Listening to Gu Manli, Bai Qianyu remained silent. She’d had enough of the life in the United States, being with a useless man was truly torturous. She couldn’t understand why Bai Yiran had loved Luo Chen so deeply back then, even working several jobs for his sake. Bai Qianyu could never do that!
The main reason she insisted on being with Luo Chen back then was because he was Bai Yiran’s boyfriend. Anything that belonged to Bai Yiran, Bai Qianyu wanted to snatch. But now, she regretted it. After the initial thrill and excitement of winning over Luo Chen faded, she realized he was not a good man, and she didn’t have any special affection for him either!
If she had listened to her mother’s advice back then, perhaps her current life would be completely different.
"Mom, I know I was wrong... I should have listened to you back then..."
Gu Manli looked at Bai Qianyu with a loving smile, holding her hand gently, "It’s not too late for anything now. Huamei International’s annual gala is coming up soon. I’ll dress you up beautifully and take you there. Everyone attending has collaborated with Huamei, and even if you don’t catch Leng Yichen’s eye, I believe with your looks, it won’t be hard to meet one or two outstanding gentlemen!"
Bai Qianyu shook her head, "No! From now on, I, Bai Qianyu, will never settle again! My man must be the best in the world!"
"Yes! Only the best man in the world is worthy of my daughter!"
The mother and daughter embraced, filling the room with warmth!
As night fell, many journalists gathered at the entrance of a detention center. They had received news that Yin Hao, the decision-maker of the Yin Group, had found evidence to prove his son Yin Tianshen’s innocence. Yin Tianshen, the second-generation heir of the Yin Group, was to regain his freedom today.
The journalists, having received the news, waited early at the entrance of the detention center, all eager to capture the moment Yin Tianshen walked out.
