Professor Xie, isn't this a case of forcing customers to buy products that don't match the

Zhou Yun swayed violently, and if the police hadn't been supporting her, she would have almost collapsed to the ground.

"No! You're talking nonsense! Why would Xu'an tell you these things! You made it up! You're trying to sow discord between my son and me!"

"Whether I'm lying or not, you know in your heart." Shen Yan looked at Zhou Yun, his eyes devoid of joy or sorrow, only a subtle pity. "Every time he gets drunk, he hugs me and cries, and he says the same things. He asks me, 'Yan Yan, am I really that bad? Why can't my mom ever see my good points? What do I have to do for her to smile at me and praise me?'"

"Enough!" Zhou Yun screamed, abruptly covering her ears and shaking her head frantically. "Stop talking!"

But those past memories still inevitably pierced her mind.

My 18-year-old son and his classmates made their first small game project, which unexpectedly sold for several million.

The first thing the son did after receiving the money wasn't to buy himself a new car or a new watch, but to spend most of it on a limited-edition bag that was all the rage at the time.

"Mom! Look! I bought this for you! Do you like it?"

But she was already annoyed by her son's insistence on playing games, so she only glanced at the overly flashy logo and scolded, "Why did you buy this? It's all show and no substance. I enrolled you in an MBA program, remember to attend classes."

"Also, spend less time with those shady classmates and more time with people from well-off families."

Later, when her twenty-year-old son started a game company, he wore a custom-made suit for the first time to an event, trying to look like an adult, and asked her, "Mom, am I dressed appropriately?"

She said at the time, "The shoulder isn't quite right, and the overall demeanor is still lacking. Children of the Xie family have that kind of demeanor ingrained in their bones."

At that moment, the son only whispered, "Mom, my name is Zhou Xu'an, and my surname isn't Xie."

At the time, she thought her son was talking back and didn't understand her good intentions.

Later, her son's game company really grew big, he made more and more money, came home less and less often, wore more and more expensive suits, and his watches became more and more flashy. He also started to be surrounded by some rich young men from wealthy families, the kind she had once hoped he would associate with.

At first, she felt a secret, twisted sense of comfort when she saw her son integrate into that circle.

Look, even though they left the Xie family, they still returned to the upper class.

But gradually, she noticed that her son had changed.

Not only do they lack the refined and noble air of the Xie family's children, but they are becoming more and more like those young masters.

He learned to spend money lavishly, to look people over with a critical and arrogant gaze, and to frequently change female companions.

Young and beautiful faces appeared one after another around her son.

She tried to intervene.

The son said at the time, "Mom, what era are we living in? It was just for fun. Besides, it was consensual, and I didn't mistreat them. Isn't that how it is in this industry?"

Later, the son even started keeping a lover.

Shen Yan.

She was absolutely furious when she heard about it.

She angrily questioned her son, who simply told her coldly, "Mom, just leave it alone. Yan Yan is different."

Different? What's the difference! They're all scoundrels!

But looking at her son's increasingly influential friends and their increasingly gloomy tempers, she really didn't dare to provoke him.

She then went to the place where her son was keeping men.

The young man, dressed in a simple white T-shirt and jeans, looked nervous when he saw her, lowered his eyes, and called out "Auntie."

She looked at Shen Yan with a condescending gaze.

They criticize his background and despise his family.

Later, when she learned that Shen Yan had a paralyzed mother who needed continuous and expensive medical treatment, she became even more certain that Shen Yan was only clinging to her son for money.

Then she thought again, Shen Yan is after money, and her son is just playing around, who knows when he'll break up with her.

But gradually, things started to get out of control.

My son seems to be coming home at a more regular time now, and he's wearing far less of that weird perfume smell.

I used to hear rumors from the driver or assistant every now and then about which minor celebrity or model my son had dated, but those rumors have gradually died down.

Even the girls he used to hang out with seemed to have lost contact with him.

She subtly inquired, but her son only gave an impatient and perfunctory reply: "I'm bored, it's no fun."

At the same time, he paid more and more attention to Shen Yan.

And it's obvious that they put a lot of thought into it.

He transferred Aunt Li, who was the most considerate, to the apartment where he was taking care of Shen Yan; he also arranged for Shen Yan's paralyzed mother to be placed in a nice nursing home...

Even her phone's screen saver was changed to a picture of Shen Yan sleeping.

The way her son looked at his phone screen was a tenderness she had never seen before.

She panicked instantly.

Playing around with it is fine, keeping it as a pet is also okay, but taking it to this extent is absolutely unacceptable.

If Shen Yan were a woman, she could convince herself to accept it, but Shen Yan is a man. Let alone being a good match, they can't even do the most basic thing like having children.

She started arranging blind dates for her son.

The girl's family background, appearance, and education are all top-notch.

But the son never went, and when he did go, he would have a cold face, do a perfunctory job, and in the end, nothing came of it.

Unable to vent her anger on her son, she could only make things even more difficult for Shen Yan.

For reasons unknown, Shen Yan never dared to resist her in front of her when faced with her difficult behavior, and he didn't even dare to complain about her to his son in private.

This made her even more reckless.

Finally, her opportunity arrived.

The son seemed to have had a heated argument with Shen Yan, and the son suffered a minor injury and went to the hospital.

She slapped Shen Yan hard in the hospital corridor, exposing her son's many mistresses.

Looking back now, why did she do that?

Perhaps it was because she subconsciously knew that Shen Yan was indeed different.

She had seen too many people who came for her son's money, some obsequious, some cunning, their eyes blatantly filled with calculation and desire.

But Shen Yan is different.

That young man had clean eyes, so clean that he didn't seem like someone from that circle.

So she bet that Shen Yan couldn't accept her son's unfaithful relationship.

More importantly, she had to act at that time.

Because she could clearly see that her son was becoming more and more attentive to Shen Yan, and was cutting off his affairs with other women more and more completely.

She feared that if she delayed any longer, her son might really only have Shen Yan by his side.

By then, it will be really difficult for her to do anything.

A slap, a few words, clean and decisive.

She successfully drove Shen Yan away.

Her son initially directed his anger at her: "Why did you tell him those things?! Who told you to be so nosy?!"

She only said at the time, "I thought he knew... Xu'an, what you did outside isn't a secret..."

Her son was speechless.

I wanted to refute it, but found that there was no way to refute it at all.

Yes, the relationships my son has outside that haven't been completely severed are real.

So can we blame the mother for telling the truth?

It seems not.

"I will find him," was all the son could say in the end.

She heard it at the time, but didn't take it too seriously.

Is it so easy to find someone who leaves so decisively?

But she never expected that the way her son was found in the end would be so extreme, so crazy, and so reckless.

Surveillance, coercion, illegal detention, kidnapping, and even the use of prohibited drugs.

In the end, the son landed himself in jail.

Zhou Yun trembled all over, slowly slipped from the hands of the police officer who was supporting her, and collapsed onto the cold snow, covering her face and weeping bitterly.
