All-Mighty Girl Gets Spoiled by A Bigshot Chapter 1356 It's All Qin Churou's Trouble

Upon hearing what Qin Churou had to say, a wave of irrepressible regret washed over Lin Shuya.

It was only in that moment that she fully grasped just how excessively she had treated Qin Sheng. Her daughter’s cold demeanor toward her was not only expected but entirely justified.

Lin Shuya felt her legs give way; she braced herself against the side of the table just to remain standing.

"Qin Churou, I have showered you with nothing but kindness throughout these years. I raised you as if you were my own flesh and blood. Even after discovering the truth about the mix-up, I continued to cherish you just the same. Looking back, I am absolutely disgusted with myself. A white-eyed wolf like you was never worth an ounce of my devotion!"

Qin Churou gave no sign that she had even heard the woman’s lamentations.

Continuing to twist the knife in Lin Shuya’s heart, she goaded, "You must be steeped in remorse, aren't you? It is indeed a pity; your son is gone, Qin Sheng will never look at you with kindness again, and the Lin family has long since disowned you."

Lin Shuya’s hands balled into tight, shaking fists.

Those words shattered the last remnants of Lin Shuya’s composure.

She had been stripped of everything, and the blame rested solely on Qin Churou’s shoulders.

Lin Shuya’s gaze locked onto the fruit knife resting on the tabletop. snatching it up, she lunged toward Qin Churou with murder in her eyes. "Qin Churou, since we were mother and daughter in life, let us be mother and daughter in the afterlife!"

Lin Shuya hissed the words, her voice devoid of any warmth.

A look of shock crossed Qin Churou’s features.

Though she reacted with speed, she failed to completely evade the desperate strike.

The blade bit into her arm. Wincing, Qin Churou immediately wrestled the weapon away and shoved Lin Shuya to the ground.

She was spiraling into a temporary fit of rage.

In that chaotic moment, Qin Churou almost plunged the knife into Lin Shuya’s stomach, but memories of the times Lin Shuya had shielded her flickered into her mind, causing her hand to falter.

She tossed the knife aside.

Glaring down at Lin Shuya, she declared, "I will spare your life, but do not think for a second about calling the police. I am letting you walk away only because of our history. Pray that you return the favor. From this day forward, we are finished with one another."

Uncertain if Lin Shuya would actually notify the authorities, Qin Churou dared not linger in the apartment. She threw her belongings into a bag and fled the scene.

Lin Shuya remained motionless in her room for the remainder of the afternoon.

It was not until 7 o’clock in the evening that she finally reached for her phone to place a call to Qin Sheng.

Recognizing the caller ID, Qin Sheng raised an eyebrow before answering. "Lin Shuya, what do you want?"

"Sheng’er," Lin Shuya choked out, her voice fractured by heavy sobs. "I am sorry. I have failed you miserably."

Qin Sheng remained unmoved. Quietly, she asked, "So, you found out?"

Lin Shuya wiped away her tears. "I did."

Silence stretched between them.

"Sheng’er, would you please call me Mom just once?"

Lin Shuya’s eyes were glassy with desperate anticipation.

Qin Sheng declined without a second of hesitation. "Lin Shuya, our ties have been severed. Do not expect my forgiveness, either. While we are bound by blood, there is no need for us to ever cross paths again."

Whether in her past life or the current one, the deep-seated trauma she had endured could never be washed away.

Qin Sheng was no saint; despite Lin Shuya’s regret, there was no room for mercy.

With those final words, Qin Sheng disconnected the call.

Lin Shuya slumped to the floor, clutching her chest as she broke down into uncontrollable sobs.

Elsewhere.

Over the years, Qin Churou had managed to squirrel away more than 20 million yuan. She checked into a modest apartment.

Despite spending the following days frantically searching for a way to restore her reputation, she remained at a complete dead-end.
