Xiao Ji's expression slightly darkened. He knew his mother was still mad at him, and he knew he felt guilty for not living up to her nurturing. No matter how harsh her words were, she still came to see him, and that was enough.
"I'm not doing well now. If I reach the end of my rope, I'll probably have to go abroad. Once I leave, I might never come back. I've made many mistakes in this life, and I don't expect Mom to forgive me. If I leave, you won't have any family around, so please take care of yourself. Mom, it's your unfilial son who's sorry to you!" Xiao Ji said, wanting to kneel before his mother.
Xiao Ji's mother stepped back a few paces to avoid his kneeling: "You already knelt last time, no need for it this time. Whether you're good or bad in the future, that's your own business. I'll advise you one last time, don't do evil anymore; the old man wouldn't want to see you ruin the Xiao family's reputation."
Having said what she needed to, Xiao Ji's mother turned and left.
