Love is as vast as the Milky Way, impossible to cross.

Chapter 315 Not everyone who gets old can call themselves an elder.

Liu Shiyin's tone was firm and persistent.

Wang Qing's words pierced her already sensitive and fragile heart like needles. Since childhood, she had harbored a deep-seated inferiority complex, which was ruthlessly amplified by Wang Qing's words, making her feel suffocated.

She looked at the two people opposite her, her clear and bright eyes now filled with sorrow, like a wounded little bird trembling in the wind and rain, unable to find a branch to perch on.

Xu Ruoxin gazed at Liu Shiyin, her eyes sparkling with admiration. She appreciated Liu Shiyin's sincerity and perseverance.

Wang Qing, who was sitting to the side, saw all of this, and her expression gradually became complicated.

Wang Qing knew that her company was facing a serious economic crisis, and Huo Muchen's abilities and resources were their only lifeline.

Now that her daughter Xu Xiaofan is going through such a thing, she feels extremely anxious. Apart from Huo Muchen, she really can't think of anyone else who can take over and save their family.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now. Please enjoy your meal."

Liu Shiyin's gaze swept lightly over the two people opposite her. Their faces were filled with their own thoughts, making them hard to understand.

She sighed softly, as if weary of this endless pretense, and stood up, saying softly:

Upon hearing this, Wang Qing's eyes flashed with surprise, which quickly turned into anger.

Her eyes widened, her gaze like a sharp sword piercing through Liu Shiyin's calm, composed face.

Her voice was sharp, tinged with resentment:

"What kind of attitude is that? The elders haven't even said they're leaving, and you're already standing up and trying to leave?"

Liu Shiyin glanced at Wang Qing indifferently, her eyes devoid of any emotion, as if she were looking at an unreasonable child.

"Elders should act like elders; not just anyone who gets old can call themselves an elder."

Though the voice was soft, it struck Wang Qing's heart like a heavy hammer, instantly robbing her of the courage to refute.

Ignoring Wang Qing's anger, Liu Shiyin turned around, her posture elegant and resolute, picked up her bag from beside the chair, and walked out of this oppressive place.

As she left, the atmosphere instantly became heavy.

Wang Qing's gaze followed Liu Shiyin's retreating figure as she disappeared outside the door, a hint of disdain and contempt appearing on her face.

She turned to look at Xu Ruoxin beside her, her voice carrying a hint of provocation and dissatisfaction:

"Look at Ruoxin, this Liu Shiyin is really incomprehensible. She grew up without parents and spent four years in prison at the age of 18. After she got out, she actually got together with Mu Chen. What's even more outrageous is that she later ran off with another man for three years! Making Mu Chen suffer and drown his sorrows in alcohol every day. Now that man doesn't want her anymore, she has the audacity to come back to Mu Chen. Tell me, what exactly does Mu Chen see in her? Sigh, it's really incomprehensible."

Wang Qing's words were full of belittling of Liu Shiyin and sympathy for Mu Chen, as if she was trying to gain resonance from Xu Ruoxin.

However, Xu Ruoxin did not show the same indignant expression as she had hoped; instead, she remained somewhat silent.

Xu Ruoxin sighed softly. She didn't want to comment too much on the emotional entanglement between Liu Shiyin and Mu Chen, because she knew it involved too many complex emotions and experiences.

However, she didn't know what had happened between Wang Qing and Liu Shiyin, but she could sense a clear hostility and dissatisfaction from Wang Qing's words.

Although Xu Ruoxin had a good first impression of Liu Shiyin, she felt somewhat uncomfortable seeing Liu Shiyin behaving so rudely and even disrespectfully in front of her elders.

She understands that everyone has their own personality and lifestyle, but as a junior, one should still maintain basic respect and politeness in front of elders.

Xu Ruoxin was somewhat disappointed by Liu Shiyin's behavior, and she couldn't help but re-examine her impression of Liu Shiyin.
