Chapter 1964: Who the Hell Are You?

She knew exactly why her mother was calling her, and now her mother was embarrassing her in front of so many of her friends. Sze Lingyun responded angrily, “Mom! I told you that I was in a car accident, yet you don’t seem to care at all. I had a car accident, and you didn’t care at all? Even a dog owner would care about their pet, right? Could it be that, in your heart, your guests are more important than my life?”

“Hey, listen to me, you brat! Do you think you can disobey your mother as you please now that you’ve grown up and are in college? Let me tell you, even if you marry a president one day, you’ll still be my daughter! You still have to do what I tell you to do! Otherwise, you’re a disloyal, unfilial, and ungrateful person! I want you to come back immediately, do you hear me?”

“No way! I’m not coming back today. I want to stay at my friend’s house.”

“Friend’s house? What kind of friends could you have in Sea District? Are they a guy or a girl? Do they have anything to do with Li Jingyan? Shi Lingyun, do you have no self-respect? I’ve already told you that I won’t allow you to date Li Jingyan! You, now, get your *ss right back here! If you don’t dare to come back, believe me when I say that tomorrow, I’ll put up a banner at the entrance of the military medical hospital telling everyone that you’re fooling around with a man your parents don’t approve of at such a young age!!!”

“Mom, you’re going too far!” Sze Lingyun felt awful.

She did not understand why her mother would not let her date a man who treated her so well.

Before this, her mother had only tried to stop her verbally. However, she was now threatening to go to Sze Lingyun’s school to ruin her reputation!

“Aren’t you the one who’s going too far? I made it clear that you had to come back tonight. If you dare disobey me and mess around with men outside, I won’t hesitate to do what I just said. You know what I’d be willing to do!”

Sze Lingyun’s tears rolled down her cheeks. Just as she was about to agree, a slender hand took the phone out of her hand.

“Mrs. Sze, I’m Sze Lingyun’s friend. First of all, I’m a woman—so Sze Lingyun isn’t messing around with guys outside. And I want to tell you that you can go ahead and go the military medical hospital to put up a banner. You can even ask the media to report that Sze Lingyun has a boyfriend while attending university. But according to Camino law, female citizens over the age of 18 and male citizens over the age of 20 have the right to marry freely. Parents have no right to interfere, let alone in Sze Lingyun’s case where she is dating an upstanding man she really likes. If you dare to go to the hospital and put up a big banner or try to publicly tarnish her reputation in any other way, I’ll report you to the police for disturbing public order.”

“You…” Mother Shi’s arrogance was obviously short-lived. After a pause, she roared, “Who are you? What right do you have to tell me what to do? I’m Sze Lingyun’s mother. It’s my right to call my daughter home. What right do you have to stop me?”

“I’m her friend. Someone tried to kill her today. I’m worried about her safety, so I must make sure she stays here safely for the night and is only sent home tomorrow. If you have any complaints, we can go to the police station right now to reason things out. We can see if the police will side with me or you. Then, we can discuss why, as a mother, you seem like you don’t care about your biological daughter’s basic welfare.”

“You…”
