Li Sulan grabbed Xiao Ning's hand with no sense of boundaries, "Xiao Ning, don't be like this. I know you've been at odds with us lately. We've been together for twenty years— even a dog would develop feelings in that time, let alone us, your parents. Are you really this heartless, wanting to sever ties with us?"
"Haven't we already severed them?" Xiao Ning forcefully pulled her hand back, her face expressionless.
Li Sulan didn't give up and continued her shameless familial plea, but Xiao Ning remained unmoved, keeping clear boundaries with her.
After so much effort trying to appease Xiao Ning, she still refused to show a hint of goodwill. Li Sulan's patience was wearing thin, and her face was beginning to collapse.
However, considering the stakes of the situation, Li Sulan forcibly suppressed her urge to lose her temper.
