"Follow me first."

Bertha Heikea put aside this commanding tone and prepared to turn around and leave just like before.

But she took two steps and found that Tianhai Jiuliuli hadn't followed.

She turned around, looked at her daughter standing there, and frowned.

"Is this your response after thinking about it for a few days?"

"Yes."

"You made me wait for so many days, and I asked you to go back and think about it. Is this how you responded to me?"

"I'm sorry, I don't want to leave." Tianhai Jiuliuli put his hands in front of him, squeezing the birthday gift on his wrist.

Bertha Heikeya raised her eyes: "Liu Li, you have to know that I have taught you piano for more than ten years, and I have spent countless efforts on teaching you. Even after divorcing Maodian, I will still play piano with you.

Contact me and see how far you have practiced according to the standards I gave you. Can you deny these things?"

"."

"Is this how you plan to respond to your mother?"

"I'm sorry." Tianhai Jiuliuli apologized.

"Is that all it takes to apologize?"

"I will go to the competition, but I feel that I need to live my life before that. When the competition time comes, I will definitely go."

"It's the same rhetoric again," Bertha Hekeya approached her again, her face so calm that there was no wave, "If I remember correctly, you answered me in the same way before. Someone taught you to say this.

Words?"

"No, mom, that's what I think."

"You haven't figured out what the Chopin International Piano Competition is. The opponents you have to face are not people of your age group. Some people have even studied the piano several times more than you. Do you think that you

What are the consequences of living this idle life now, busy with classes, busy with clubs, busy with housework, and then participating in a competition of this level?"

"Follow me." She said and stretched out her hand.

Tianhai Jiuliuli took a step back, his eyes full of apology, and shook his head and replied: "No."

"Let's go."

"I'm sorry"

"Liu Li."

Bertha Hekeya suddenly slowed down her voice and took off the white glove on her right hand.

When Tianhai Jiuliuli raised her face in response to her mother.

With a sound of "Pa!", the girl's heart suddenly tightened, and the girl's face turned to the right. Then, a bright red mark was printed on the girl's face.

Tianhai Jiuliuli stood there in a daze, with a burning pain like a handprint on his face.

Her face was blood red from the slap, and the hair beside her ears was messy.

As the pain on his face extended deep into his heart, Tianhai Jiuliuli lowered his face in front of his mother.

Even though Sakakihara Rakuzo was listening to the conversation between the two in the distance, he was shaken by the loud slap.

This was a development he had never imagined.

My aunt actually got Jiuliuli.?

Why.?

For Jiuliuli, aunt is someone who makes her smile every time she talks about it?

For Jiuliuli, it is her support and reliance for more than ten years, and the person she needs most.

And Jiu Liuli, who has always cherished the respect and love for her mother, is now slapped hard by her mother?

Sakakihara Raku stood up quickly after hearing the sound. He stuck his head out and saw Amami Kuruuri, whose face dropped in front of his mother with a stiff expression.

And, the mother who slapped her daughter but still didn’t change her face.

"Are you awake yet?"

"Enough!"

Raku Sakakibara quickly came to the front of Bertha Heikeya, using her back to block the sight of her mother, who had her head lowered.

Bertha Hekeya showed no surprise when she saw his appearance.

"This is my own family matter, and it's not your turn to interfere." She said without emotion.

"Don't you think you're going too far?"

"Too much? Compared with my efforts of more than ten years, do you think a slap is too much? I just want her to wake up."

Sakakibara tried his best to suppress the emotions in his heart, and said with anger: "Do you know how Jiureli treats you? You actually treat her like this?!"

"What do you know?"

"Yes, I don't know much, but as far as I know, she is a person who always feels happy when talking about you. For more than ten years, she has regarded you as her most respected mother. She listens to your words and only looks forward to being with you.

You met last time."

"Okay, if she was really obedient, I wouldn't use this slap to wake her up. You are just saying something to refute me from her perspective. If you think about it a little bit, you can understand why I hit her."

"Put yourself in someone else's shoes? Have you put yourself in someone else's shoes?!"

"Xiao Le, I don't want to talk to you about these useless nonsense, get out of the way."

"I just want to ask one more thing, have you put yourself in someone else's shoes?!"

Bertha Hekeya raised her eyes: "I'll just say it again, this is our family's business, it's not your turn to take action."

"Then I will only say it again. As Jiuliuli's nominal brother, I will never sit idly by and watch this kind of thing."

"You are determined to go against me, right?"

"It's not that I'm against you, it's that what you did is simply not worthy of your current status, Bertha Hekeya."

Bertha Hekeya smiled because she hadn't heard anyone dare to call her name like that for a long time:

"Interesting, interesting. I want to hear how you, the nominal brother, are going to convince me. Do you think my teachings of more than ten years are all false? I have taught her for more than ten years, and I have never treated her like this in July.

You have given me your heart, but you just want me to leave with just one sentence?! Do you understand how much effort I have put into making this moment possible for her! Why do you think so?"

"You are not worthy at all! Teaching? In my opinion, you are simply using your own identity and your identity as a mother to deceive your daughter."

"It's a joke, I've been taking her with me since she was a child. Because of them, my career has even been dragged down. Do you know how hard it was when I was pregnant with them? You don't deserve it if you don't deserve it?"

"If you don't deserve it, you don't deserve it! Your words can't support your actions at all."

"Just because of a slap? Just a slap, you can deny my mother's identity? Ridiculous, just because of your boyfriend who was dumped after only two days of dating?"

Amami Kuruuri kept her head lowered behind Sakakibara Raku. The pain of being slapped on her face had not subsided. At the same time, she also heard the words "A boyfriend who was dumped after only two days of dating?" <

/p>

This reminded Amami Kuruuri of how he treated Sakakibara Raku before. He could treat him the way he did before, but he is still standing in front of him.

Amami Kuruuri lowered his head and saw Sakakibara Raku's clothes, and the guilt in his heart resurfaced again.

"Bertha Heike, all you want is to win the gold medal in the Chopin International Competition through Jiuliu Li. You are just using Jiuliu Li as your tool. Fundamentally speaking, you are just an incompetent person.

."

"Shut up!"

"Have you been poked where it hurts?"

"That's enough, that's enough," Bertha Hekeya waved her hands boredly, "I've heard enough of this nonsense, and I'm too lazy to argue with you about these useless arguments. Liuli, come here and leave with me."

"Liu Li, come here."

Bertha Hekeya frowned, "Liu Li!"

Sakakibara laughed.

"Liu Li! Have you forgotten what I said to you in the car before? Do you still remember what I said to you? As long as you leave with me and go to England, you will have everything you want."

"Mom, stop talking. I promised that I would compete, but I have my own life, and I won't go with you now."

After whispering, Amami Kuruuri leaned behind Sakakibara Raku and grabbed the corner of his clothes.

On her hidden face, there was still the grievance of being slapped by her mother, and a stiff expression of wanting to cry but trying hard to smile.

"Liu Li!" Bertha Hekeya shouted again.

Sakakibara protected Jiu Liuli with one hand and said to Bertha Hekeya with a serious face: "Isn't the fact already obvious?"

"Okay, okay, okay, very good!"

Bertha Hekeya looked at the two people standing together and was extremely angry, "Liu Li, if you continue to disobey me, don't expect to see me again in the future!"

"." Tianhai Jiureli did not respond, but just hid his head behind Sakakihara Raku.

"Have you forgotten what you said to me?"
