Pleading for Help

1/4/2026

On the way there, Julia Yu thought it over repeatedly and decided to ask Cecilia Gu for help.

If there was anyone in this world who could make Max Mo change his mind unconditionally,

then that person could only be Cecilia Gu.

Julia Yu knew that by doing this, she was somewhat taking advantage of Cecilia Gu.

But in order to completely sever ties with her birth family, she couldn't worry about that now.

She couldn't let her birth family drag her down.

She couldn't stand being pressured by her birth family time and time again—she'd had enough.

Julia Yu had seen too many cases like this.

Not every parent in this world is qualified, and not all parents don't expect their children to pay them back—or even want to suck their children's happiness dry for their own benefit.

She'd seen too many cases like this, so Julia didn't want to give her love-obsessed mother any chance to drain her.

So she had to offer enough benefits to make her mother willingly sever their blood ties.

When Julia Yu arrived at the Qu Family Manor, the first thing she did was look for Cecilia Gu.

When Julia got there, Cecilia Gu was talking with Snow Grace.

To be precise, it was Cecilia Gu speaking, and Snow Grace listening quietly and obediently.

Julia Yu stood at a distance, waiting for Cecilia to finish before approaching.

But Cecilia Gu immediately noticed Julia, waved her over, and invited her to join them.

Julia Yu smiled and walked over. "Mrs. Yin, Miss Grace, am I interrupting you?"

Snow Grace quickly replied, "No, not at all. I was just asking Mrs. Yin for tips on making egg tarts. I heard she's very skilled in the kitchen and often cooks for her children at home. I'm really interested in cooking, so I came to learn from her. Lawyer Yu, if you have something to discuss, I can come back in a few days."

Snow Grace smiled sweetly, looking so well-behaved and sensible that it was impossible to dislike her.

Seeing how troubled Julia Yu looked, Cecilia Gu immediately realized Julia must have something important to discuss. So she said to Snow Grace, "I'm leaving for China the day after tomorrow. If you happen to be in N City, you can visit me at the Yin Family home."
