Her mother had no recollection that it was she who had forgotten her, but rather that everyone else had forgotten her.

"And who are you?"

Her mother's gaze fell on Weiming.

I had some doubts, but I didn't ask them openly.

Weiming shrugged: "I'm Mai Sakurajima's..."

He meant to say "friends," but before he could finish, Mai Sakurajima suddenly interrupted.

 "He is my boyfriend, Wei Mingjun."

The reason for saying this is to gain an opportunity for equal communication between the two parties based on their respective positions.

Instead of the mother simply standing in the position of a mother, constantly ordering her around and using her as a tool to make money.

"?"

A question mark appeared on Weiming's forehead but disappeared in less than half a second. He very 'cooperatively' put his arm around Sakurajima Mai's waist.

Under the shocked and bewildered gaze of Sakurajima Mai herself, she said it nonchalantly.

"Hello, Auntie. I am Mai's boyfriend, Weiming. I'm here today to ask you to grant us your blessing."

"To grant...you two...their relationship?"

Mrs. Sakurajima was caught off guard by this sudden news.

Just as he was about to scold Mai Sakurajima for not recognizing her own status and for casually falling in love.

But then he heard Wei Ming nod emphatically.

"No, it's not just a relationship, I also want to propose."

"what?!!!"

Both Sakurajima and her daughter expressed confusion and bewilderment.

This proposal, which was even more sudden than a relationship announcement, was a bit startling.

……

"call."

Things are getting tricky.

The group went into the room to talk and communicate.

Wei Ming sipped his tea, seemingly indifferent to the situation.

It was as if those shocking remarks he had just made were not his own.

Mrs. Sakurajima and Mai Sakurajima faced each other, the atmosphere heavy.

"you…"

a long time.

Mrs. Sakurajima was about to ask her about the situation between her and Mimei, and what stage their relationship had reached.

All she could think about was how Mai Sakurajima's career would be hindered if she got into a scandal.

Therefore, it is essential to understand the situation clearly and do everything possible to minimize the impact of the matter.

It's best to deal with the unknown person beforehand, shut them up, and keep them away from Mai Sakurajima.

Mai Sakurajima spoke first.

"Mom, please stop controlling me. Even if I become an actress, I only want to be the person I want to be."

She wasn't referring to an unresolved issue.

Instead, he took this opportunity to sit down and have an equal conversation to clarify his true feelings.

"..."

At that moment, Mrs. Sakurajima understood her purpose.

Looking at Wei Ming's relaxed demeanor, he also gained a sense of understanding.

His expression changed from anxious to indifferent, and his voice became exceptionally cold.

"Mai, do you know what you're saying?"

“I know, Mom, I just wanted to tell you what I was thinking.”

Mai Sakurajima didn't hesitate to express her thoughts.

Wei Ming has gone to such lengths for her; he can no longer run away from her.

"I hate the feeling of being controlled by you. Do you remember back then?"

"Ok?"

Mrs. Sakurajima frowned, wanting to see what Mai Sakurajima wanted to say.

Mai Sakurajima pursed her lips and parted them slightly.

"When you were 13, you took on a swimsuit photo shoot job without my knowledge."

“Even though I resisted and ran away, I realized that you had changed, Mom.”

“I realize that you only have money in your eyes, not me. I am no longer just your daughter, but more of a tool in your hands to make money and satisfy your desires.”

Mai Sakurajima's voice grew heavier and heavier as she spoke, eventually becoming choked with emotion.

"I hate this kind of life, I hate you, so I fled the entertainment industry, I fled from you, and I wish you would forget me forever!"

In a state of heightened emotion.

Her abilities almost activated unconsciously.

Mrs. Sakurajima's eyes were glazed over as she looked like she was about to forget her existence.

Weiming patted her shoulder gently and whispered, "Don't get agitated, Mai, I'm here."

"!!!"

Mai Sakurajima suddenly snapped out of her daze.

I realized that I almost made myself disappear completely.

"Thanks…"

He looked at Weiming with gratitude.

If it weren't for him, I would have messed things up again...

Mrs. Sakurajima shook her head in a daze...

A moment later, his attention turned to Mai Sakurajima.

Despite saying so many heartfelt things.

Mrs. Sakurajima didn't listen at all.

She was filled with uncontrollable rage.

He slammed his hands on the table and stood up, shouting angrily, "Do you know what you're saying?"

"Don't you know that everything you have now—your celebrity status, endless money, and the life you enjoy—is all because I'm your manager?"

"Without me, do you think you would have the life you have now?"

"I made you who you are! If you want to escape, then give me ten times your current value!"

It seemed like he was just saying it out of anger.

It was indeed said in anger, but within those words lay a trap that would drive Mai Sakurajima into a corner.

she said so.

It was absolutely certain that Mai Sakurajima couldn't come up with much money.

Despite being a celebrity, most of her earnings are controlled by her mother.

In other words, Mai Sakurajima doesn't have much money on her own.

It's absolutely impossible to get her to part with ten times her net worth.

She was using her status to coerce Mai Sakurajima.

"..."

Mai Sakurajima's body trembled.

Compared to the inescapable trap, there is more suffering.

To recognize the mother you have been trying to avoid.

She still held onto a sliver of hope.

I hope my mother can continue to be her mother.

Version 1.0 is available right now.

1.0 She had come to realize that her mother had become a slave to money.
