Night, lamp light snow bright.

  Tao Huijun sat expressionlessly on the sofa, watching Wang Jinglu pack her small travel bag in less than ten minutes.

  Wang Jingxue stood on the other side of the sofa.

  It's summer anyway, and Wang Jinglu didn't have much to pack on this side either. A few simple changes of clothes were enough.

  She finished packing her things and walked in front of Tao Huijun with her travel bag, smiling shyly and saying, "Mom, I'm leaving!"

  Tao Huijun looked at her and asked: "Are you very angry with your mother?"

  Wang Jinglu shook her head and said, "No. But I know I have to do something."

  Tao Huijun nodded slowly and asked after a moment: "Have you thought it through?"

  Wang Jinglu nodded, "I've thought it through."

  Tao Huijun nodded silently.

  Then Wang Jinglu turned her head to look at her sister, Wang Jingxue nodded to her and said: "Wait a moment, he still has to wait for a while before coming over."

  Wang Jinglu smiled and said, "I'll go down and wait."

  After finishing speaking, she picked up her small travel bag and said: "Well... I'm off!" Then she turned around to change her shoes and went out the door.

  After she went out, Tao Huijun stood up and walked silently to the window, looking down with a expressionless face.

  Soon, Wang Jinglu walked out of the corridor and stood alone in front of the building.

  The street lamp at the entrance of the corridor has gone out, and only a little further away is one that is still lit, but its light is also dim and yellowish, stretching her faint shadow far and wide.

  About twenty minutes later, the sound of a car driving up came from downstairs.

  Then, a snow-bright light turned over.

  Wang Jingxue also walked to the front of the building and stood shoulder to shoulder with her mother, looking down.

  The car stopped in front of Wang Jingxue, Li Qian got out of the car and seemed to say a few words to Wang Jingluo. He looked up several times, but after a moment of silence, he took over Wang Jingluo's luggage, opened the rear door and threw it into the back seat.

  Before getting on the bus, Wang Jinglu raised her head. Silently watching the two human shadows cut out by the light of the third floor, she waved her hand.

  Then she got into the car through the door opened by Li Qian.

  The car disappeared quickly.

  Wang Jingxue fell silent, turned around and was about to walk back. But at this moment, when her gaze inadvertently swept across her mother's face, she was stunned. On her mother's face, she saw a hint of a relieved smile.

  Tao Huijun felt her gaze and turned around.

  Calm and composed, with a peaceful expression.

  Wang Jingxue slightly narrowed her eyes, looking at her with some confusion.

  "Mom?" She called out in a somewhat puzzled tone.

  Tao Huijun nodded and smiled, saying: "Let's go back and sit down to talk."

  Then the two returned to the sofa. Tao Huijun looked at her eldest daughter and asked, "What you said earlier about wanting to quit Wuxingwusu, was it true or false? Is there somewhere else?"

  Wang Jingxue hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly and said: "Sony Records has been in contact with me, asking me to go over there, fly solo, and they will invest a lot of resources to support me. So, if Xiaolu says something bad about Li Qian's side, I won't let them be embarrassed."

  Tao Huijun smiled and said just one word, "Fool!"

  Wang Jingxue was shocked upon hearing this.

  Tao Huijun said slowly: "When I first came, you might have been unhappy with what I said. But mom can tell you that if you really do this, it's really stupid!"

  She paused for a moment, then said: "I won't sing songs, I've never been a singer, but I know what human relationships are. Although since marrying your father, I haven't worked outside the home, but people's hearts are always the same. Complex, yet simple. Take you, for example. I don't know what kind of company Sony Records is or how attractive their words are to you, but I do know that this company wants to poach you, and it's absolutely not because of your current qualifications and abilities!"

  Wang Jingxue was shocked again upon hearing this.

  But in an instant, her eyes blinked several times in succession, as if suddenly brightening.

  At this time, Tao Huijun said lightly: "I know that you have been stubborn and disobedient since childhood, and when you grew up, you had to run out on your own. However, whether you are stubborn or cold in temperament, it doesn't matter, but you can't not know who you are! How could you offend Li Qian just because he didn't let him do the last album? Isn't it your company that offended him? Why couldn't you take the initiative to contact him more? Don't you know who made you what you are today? Or when Sony Records dug you up, couldn't you think about why they wanted to dig you up?"

  She paused for a moment and said: "Because you are Wang Jinglu's sister, because Wang Jinglu is Li Qian's girlfriend!"

  Wang Jingxue opened her mouth, but ultimately couldn't say a word.

  For someone who has always been strong-willed and wants to achieve something on their own without relying on anyone, this sentence is like a knife that pierces the heart.

  In fact, the stronger a person appears, the softer and more sensitive they are inside.

  Not to mention she is Wang Jingxue.

  It was a long time ago when Wang Jingxue had to move out of Li Qian's place to counter the company's arrangements for her, she had already vaguely understood something in her heart. By the time "Sisters Stand Up" became a huge hit, and then "Let Me Fly" flopped quickly, Sony Music surprisingly came knocking on her door... To say that she wouldn't have thought of certain things would be underestimating her intelligence.

  She just... didn't want to admit it in her heart.

  But at this time, Tao Huijun, as a mother, obviously didn't plan to leave any face for her proud eldest daughter. "Your cold demeanor may not matter in front of others, but do you need to be cold in front of him? Do you feel guilty towards him? The one that owes him is your company, not you! Do you feel like you can't show your face? Sorry, in front of someone who can decide whether you earn 100,000 or 10 million a year, you shouldn't even think about needing to save face!"

  Wang Jingxue's mouth opened slightly in astonishment.

  Tao Huijun smiled slightly and said, "Do you think I'm being harsh?"

  Wang Jingxue was speechless and lowered her head.

  Tao Huijun let out a long sigh and said, "I won't interfere with your affairs again. To be honest, this time, if you two weren't so foolish and didn't know what's important, I wouldn't have interfered either. Now, I only have one piece of advice for you: don't job-hop, don't quit, sing steadily and earn money steadily. Then, when it's absolutely necessary to jump ship, don't seek far-off opportunities... That's all I have to say, you take care of yourself."

  At this time, Wang Jingxue finally lifted her head and looked at her mother seriously, as if she was seeing her for the first time. "So, tonight, you did it on purpose?"

  Tao Huijun smiled and didn't answer, instead asking back: "Do you see clearly now? You mean to ask if I'm acting, right?"

  She smiled and shook her head, not waiting for Wang Jingxue to respond. "I need to help you two wake up and recognize what's important, but I don't mean to act like a drama queen. I'm just doing what a mother should do. Fortunately, neither of you is too stupid, especially Little Lu. You catch on quickly."

  But Wang Jingxue immediately retorted: "You're oppressing Li Qian like this, aren't you afraid he'll... dislike you? Will... hate you?"

  Tao Huijun smiled upon hearing this, "It doesn't matter! To your future life, I'm just an outsider. Whether he hates me or not, I don't care, as long as he continues to like Xiaolu that's all that matters. And who knows, maybe he'll even be grateful to me?"

  Wang Jingxue stared blankly at her mother, and suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.

  At this time, Tao Huijun put away her smile and said calmly: "As long as Xiaolu doesn't make a fool of herself again, even if I didn't come this time, Li Qian would definitely not watch you suffer so much. The difference is just a matter of time. He's still the same person who does things thoroughly. And I believe that even if I came, it seemed to give him some pressure, but I think he wouldn't be stupid enough to agree directly. I'm just helping to build a bridge between him and your company, whether the business can be successful or not has nothing to do with me."

  Wang Jingxue's face twitched slightly, and she couldn't help but ask: "Let the two of them slowly get to know each other and naturally come together, isn't that okay? Why do you have to push Xiaolu over there directly, how can you be sure Xiaolu will definitely be happy?"

  "Happiness?" Tao Huijun smiled, "What is happiness?"

  She paused for a moment, then said: "Did I force her? If she feels unhappy, can't she leave after going there? Did I tell your father not to want this daughter of mine? Or do you not want this sister of yours?"

  As she spoke, her gaze was fixed on Wang Jingxue, and she said slowly, almost one word at a time: "From the time Li Qian made both Liao Liao and you famous, you should have understood that so-called happiness is just standing beside the person who can give you happiness! The closer you are to him, the happier you'll be!"

  Wang Jingxue fell silent once again upon hearing this.

  At this time, Tao Huijun said slowly: "Now that she has moved in with him and they live together, I don't have much to do anymore. Tomorrow afternoon, you can take me to the train station. Your father is going to divorce that woman soon. The child will stay, he'll just give her that house on the other side. Next, I'll go back to take care of that kid. Although he's not my biological son, after all, he's your father's flesh and blood, the only male heir of the Wang family, I must be careful."

  As soon as these words came out, Wang Jingxue was thoroughly shocked, "He... they..."

  Tao Huijun calmly looked at her and nodded calmly, "That's right, my handwriting."

  Wang Jingxue stared blankly at her.

  But Tao Huijun just smiled and said, "Feel like you don't recognize me? From when you were all very young, every time we met, everyone would say that you look like me, and Xiaolu looks even more like me. But actually, your personalities are more like your dad's, right?"

  Wang Jingxue slowly took a deep breath and lowered her head.

  "Mom, must one learn all these things in order to live a good life?"

  "Yes, so I came to teach you."
