After understanding animal language, the villainous girl is guaranteed to become a heartthrob.

Chapter 429 From now on, we'll cut ties completely.
Qi's mother sat wearily against the headboard, staring blankly out the window.

Hearing the door open, she turned her head to look, her voice weak and feeble: "A-Shuo, why did you stay downstairs for so long?"

"Auntie," Tang Yiping's voice choked with sobs.

Mother Qi's expression suddenly changed.

"Auntie," Tang Yiping sat down by the bed, her eyes red, and asked with concern, "Auntie, are you alright?"

She held Qi's mother's hand, her eyes filled with worry.

Qi's mother looked at her, her eyes filled with tears, her voice trembling with sobs, "Yiping, why didn't you answer the phone? I was worried something had happened to you, so I quickly asked Ashuo to bring me here."

"I..." Tang Yiping opened her mouth, but the words she had prepared wouldn't come out. "Auntie..."

Qi's mother watched her quietly, waiting for her explanation.

Tang Yiping didn't dare to meet her gaze, her eyes flickered slightly, and she turned her head to look at Qi Shuo sitting to the side.

"Yiping," Qi's mother called softly, "Why did you stop talking?"

Tang Yiping glanced at her, then lowered her head again, "Auntie, I'm sorry, I..."

"Yiping, go back to Yunjing." Mother Qi raised her hand and covered the back of her hand, saying softly, "It's not good for you and Ashuo to be separated. Going back to Yunjing will allow you to take care of each other."

She said earnestly, "You know, I was so worried when you didn't answer the phone for those few days. I was afraid you'd get sick alone in a foreign land and no one would take care of you..."

"Auntie," Tang Yiping interrupted her, "I'm sorry, I can't go back."

Qi's mother froze, staring blankly at her for a moment before asking, "Why?"

Tang Yiping looked at Qi Shuo again, hoping that this man would speak up for her.

"What do you mean?" Qi's mother's tone became agitated. "Yiping, don't you want to go back to Yunjing?"

Tang Yiping remained silent.

Qi's mother sighed and muttered to herself, "If you really don't want to go back to Yunjing, then let Ashu come to Haicheng to keep you company. It just so happens that your uncle and I are about to retire, so we'll move to Haicheng and help you and Ashu take care of the children."

She gently patted Tang Yiping's hand. "Yiping, is this okay?"

Tang Yiping bit her lip, her brows furrowed with worry.

Qi's mother continued, "Since A-Shuo and I are here, let's find some time to look at suitable properties around here and buy you and A-Shuo a wedding house outright. What do you think?"

“No…” Tang Yiping shook her head.

Seeing this, Qi's mother finally frowned: "This is no good, that is no good, what do you want to be satisfied?"

"Auntie..." Tang Yiping struggled in her heart for a long time before finally mustering up the courage to say, "I'm sorry, I can't marry Ashuo."

"Why?" Qi's mother still refused to believe that Tang Yiping would betray Qi Shuo. She still held onto a sliver of hope that there was some misunderstanding.

"I..." Tang Yiping stammered, "I'm already married."

Qi's mother's hand, which was resting on the back of her hand, suddenly trembled and touched the wedding ring on her finger.

She looked down, her eyes filled with disbelief and disappointment. "Yiping, are you kidding me?"

Tang Yiping pursed her lips and remained silent.

Qi's mother shouted excitedly, "Say something!" "I'm not joking," Tang Yiping explained, choking back tears. "Auntie, I've always considered A-Shuo as an older brother. I've wanted to break up with him for a long time, but I was worried that he wouldn't agree."

Mother Qi laughed angrily: "You're afraid he won't agree to break up, so you choose to betray him and the Qi family?"

"I..." Tang Yiping didn't know how to explain, so she could only keep apologizing, "I'm sorry, I really feel sorry."

Qi's mother raised her hand high, but her palm never landed on her face.

"Auntie, hit me, please," Tang Yiping said urgently. "If hitting me will make you feel better, I'm willing to endure it."

Qi's mother's slap ultimately landed on her own face.

Seeing this, Qi Shuo looked anxious: "Mom, please don't do this."

"A-Shuo, it was Mom who was wrong!" Mother Qi said, her heart aching. "I should have been firm and stopped you from helping her back then!"

With trembling hands, she pointed at Tang Yiping and said, "She's just using you!"

"Auntie, I didn't," Tang Yiping quickly retorted. "I never thought of using Qi Shuo, and I am truly grateful to the Qi family for their support and guidance over the years."

“I have no mother since I was a child. It was my aunt who made me feel what maternal love is. Even if Qi Shuo and I are not together, I will treat my aunt and uncle as my own parents and be filial to them.”

"Is that so?" Qi's mother stared at her angrily with tearful eyes. "You didn't take advantage of A-Shuo, so why didn't you reject his confession the year of the college entrance exam? You treated him like an older brother, so why didn't you just tell him clearly?"

Tang Yiping looked like someone had hit a sore spot, and her face grew increasingly pale.

Qi's mother looked disappointed: "You just want to use my son's girlfriend as a cover to make his father and me pour our hearts out to you and cover all your college expenses?"

"You treat me and his father as your own parents?" Qi's mother questioned. "Ask yourself honestly, in the two years you've been in Haicheng, how many times have you called me? Every time, wasn't it me asking you how you were doing first?"

Hearing these words, Tang Yiping clenched her red dress tightly with both hands. "I... I'm just too busy with work. I do care about you all."

"Stop saying things you yourself don't believe," Mother Qi said coldly. "You return all the money the Qi family has spent raising you over the years, including the car we bought for you. From this day forward, the Qi family is severing all ties with you!"

"What?" A look of astonishment flashed across Tang Yiping's face. "You want the money and the car back?"

Exhausted, Qi's mother forced herself to speak, "The Qi family has treated you well, yet you are so heartless and ungrateful. Asking you to repay the money is already being very kind!"

When the topic of interests came up, Tang Yiping finally couldn't hold back and revealed her true colors: "The Qi family willingly nurtured me, it's not like I begged you to open your hearts to me, so why should I pay them back now?"

"Tang Yiping!" Qi Shuo roared, standing up, grabbing her collar, lifting her up, and slapping her across the face. "You can betray me, but you can't disrespect my parents!"

Unable to contain the raging fire surging in his chest, Qi Shuo pressed the man against the wall and slapped him repeatedly.

He pressed her to the ground again, his face sinister. "Tang Yiping, apologize to my mother! In all these years you've been in the Qi family, they've treated you better than they've treated me!"

Tang Yiping was forced to kneel on the ground, but stubbornly refused to apologize. "I didn't say anything wrong! Although your Qi family raised me, haven't I also made my own contributions?"

"Pay back?" Qi Shuo scoffed. "What did you pay back?"

"I put in the effort for every meal I ate at the Qi family's house!"

"You call helping to serve dishes 'labor'?"

"I also paid for my youth and my body, and you slept with me for so many years. I've paid back what I owed you!"

Upon hearing this, Qi's mother suddenly felt a metallic taste rise in her throat and spat out a mouthful of blood.
