Chapter 1

The CEO mother brought my coworker who bullied me back home.

Said she is her lost biological daughter and asked me to get out to make room for her.

While I was packing my things, I heard the coworker acting spoiled with mom.

"Mom, I also want the endorsement that sister has. What if she doesn't give it to me?"

Mom smiled gently.

"I have the final say in the company, you can have whatever you want."

The next morning meeting, mom publicly announced the coworker as the true daughter.

And ordered me to hand over all the endorsements I held.

I didn't say anything, just obediently gave up the endorsements.

Mom didn't know that the endorsements were exclusively tailored for me, changing the person would incur a huge penalty fee!

"Without endorsements, you're useless to the company. Pack your things, hurry up and get out of my mom's company!"

I was about to go to the makeup room when mom's new daughter, Lin Wan, blocked and insulted me.

Many coworkers at the company also didn't have endorsements; they generally only did some advertising shoots to show their faces.

They were never forced to resign.

I looked at mom, "Are you planning to fire me too?"

Mom was stunned, her face conflicted, but soon she forcefully commanded.

"HR, terminate the contract with Su Keran today, finance, settle her salary clearly."

I have outstanding looks and a tall figure, many top broker companies wanted to sign with me when I was in college.

To help mom's new company, I resolutely rejected their high salary offers and worked for her company for free for five years.

In five years, I not only filmed advertisements and endorsements but also went to get business and talk about cooperation.

Little by little, I expanded the company to its current scale.

But mom, only because Lin Wan is the daughter of her purest love, threw all the resources I painstakingly brought to her.

Mom knows how important these resources are to me.

But to fulfill Lin Wan's dreams, she claimed I was a fake daughter and kicked me out of the house, all to force me to hand over all resources to make Lin Wan popular.

She knows clearly that once I resign, the company's resources will definitely plummet.

But she's certain I cherish the company I built from the ground up, and the coworkers I personally trained, so I won't be willing to leave.

That's why her attitude is so forceful.

Coworkers saw my flushed face with anger and hurriedly surrounded me to console.

"Sister Ke Ran, don't be angry, there's always quarrels between mother and daughter, admit a mistake and this will be over."

Mom snorted coldly, taking on the airs of a senior.

"I'm your mom. I'm doing all this for your own good, you must listen to me!"

The coworkers, hearing this, tried even harder to persuade.

"Sister Ke Ran, look how nice your mom is to you, you've depended on each other for over twenty years, sister Lin Wan couldn't be better than you, calm down."

"If I had such a CEO mom, I might dream and smile, having someone to back me up when I make mistakes is great."

Listening to the coworkers' chaotic persuasion, I felt even more aggrieved.

The reality is nothing like what they're saying.

From childhood to adulthood, whatever good things at home, mom would give them to Lin Wan.

Even leftovers, or used items, I couldn't touch, just because my mom said I was a lowly seed, unworthy of enjoying good things.

When I grew up, I entered the company with Lin Wan.

I worked hard outside, doing business and bringing resources.

She just had to sit in the company playing games, occasionally shooting ads she liked, and could strike whenever she wasn't happy.

In the end, I had to swallow my pride to apologize to the clients and clean up the mess.

Due to this, I often quarrelled with mom.

But she never stood by my side, always saying Lin Wan had excellent conditions and would become a big star in the future, she did all this for the company, for me.

Although I wasn't satisfied with this approach, after all, she's my biological mom, I thought she wouldn't harm her own daughter.

But now I'm somewhat famous in the industry, more than half of the company's clients come for me.

Yet mom for Lin Wan's sake, didn't acknowledge me as her daughter, and threatened me with the company to comply.

I realized, genuinely being good to someone is offering them all the good things, not endless exploitation and demands.

As I was in a daze, Lin Wan picked up a cup of water and splashed it on me.

"Su Keran, stop being shameless, I'm mom's biological daughter, if you dare to take my identity again, I'll sue you in court."

"You wretched thing without a mother, what right do you have to compete with me?"

Mom stood aside witnessing everything, she didn't check if I was hurt, instead inspected Lin Wan's hand.

"Oh dear, darling, you used too much force earlier, a rhinestone on your nail broke, later let mom accompany you to fix it."

Coworkers were dumbstruck and silent for a moment.

"Fine, I agree to resign."

I wiped the water off myself and submitted my resignation on my phone.

HR saw this and dared not hesitate, about to approve it.

Mom suddenly panicked when she saw I was really leaving and hurried to stop HR.

"Forget it, forget it, I've raised you for twenty years no matter what, I'm not that heartless. Stay in the company!"

The coworkers breathed a sigh of relief and brought me new clothes to change into.

But Lin Wan snatched them and threw them on the ground, stomping on them hard twice.

"Mom, I'm your real daughter, can't I even fire an employee?!"

The mom who always indulged Lin Wan, this time pulled her aside, indicating her not to speak.

Then, squeezed out a faint smile at me.

"Little Ran, you've worked hard these years, I'll give you a long vacation, take a good rest and we'll talk about work later."

She thought I didn't know her perfect plan.

She was still thinking of using my resources to boost Lin Wan's fame, then say a few good words, and I would continue slaving for the company.

Be a blood donor for Lin Wan.

If it was before, for the company and this biological mom, I would choose to swallow my pride.

But now, she personally admitted Lin Wan is her biological daughter.

Since that's the case, the company and mom, I want none of it!

I took out my phone and deleted all photos and videos about mom in my album with one button.

Even blocked her on WeChat together.

After finishing all this, I calmly raised my head and said:

"I want to sever ties with you!"
