"Ungrateful daughter! What kind of heart do you have? It's bad enough you raised someone like Shanshan, but to think even you could be so ruthless— I regret ever giving birth to you!"
The Old Madam Ji smashed her cane onto Ji Yunxiang with all her might, hitting her repeatedly while railing at her in fury.
"Mom, I'm your own flesh and blood, you have to help me! Everything I've done has been for the Ji Family. Only this way can the Ji Family's business stay out of an outsider's hands..."
Seeing that Ji Yunxiang was on the verge of confessing something shocking, the Old Madam Ji abruptly snapped, "Shut up! Don't spout such nonsense. The Ji Family has fallen to ruin because of a disgrace like you— it's my greatest failing!"
"Fine, fine! I'll admit I misspoke. But I'm truly being wronged here!" Ji Yunxiang shamelessly continued to plead.
"Wronged?"
The Old Madam Ji let out a bitter, sorrowful laugh. "You think I don't know how I ended up falling down the stairs?"
