The next day, Ran Xueyi still didn't return to the hotel.
Li Jing was starting to lose hope and get mad at Ran Xueyi. What kind of woman wouldn't return to her hotel?
"Tell me, is your sister dating someone now?" Li Qing questioned.
Ran Yue looked at her mother for a moment before saying, "Ran Xueyi has been staying abroad for three years, how am I supposed to know what she does?"
Li Jing believed her daughter's words. Ran Xueyi's life these past three years has been kept hidden from them and only revealed to them when she returned to the country, after all.
However, things can't continue this way. Li Jing knew that the more time passes, the more Ran Mo Zheng and his mistress, Ning Qing, gained what they wanted. And as much as she hated begging, if it will give her the satisfaction of seeing Ran Mo Zheng and Ning Qing on their knees together with those two bastards, Li Jing was willing to act and become the mother that Ran Xueyi never had.
Wasn't that what Ran Xueyi was missing in her life? A motherly figure?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRan Yue did not know what her mother was planning when she received a message from Manager Zhang. She looked at her wristwatch and knew that she could no longer stay there.
"Mother, I still have to go to work later. Just stay inside my room and wait for me to arrive." Ran Yue reminded her mother.
Before leaving the hotel, Ran Yue turned to her mother to say, "Call me if you need anything. As for the matter with my father... I think it's better if you don't mention it to Ran Xueyi."
Knowing her, Ran Xueyi wouldn't even blink an eye when she hears that her parents were getting divorced.
After giving her mother one last glance, Ran Yue finally left the hotel.
But what Ran Yue did not know was that after she left, Li Jing quickly waved a taxi and followed her daughter's car to the filming set.
Li Jing brought up Ran Yue and knew her daughter very well. She could tell the hesitation and reluctance that she showed when she mentioned meeting with Ran Xueyi.
Nevertheless, whether Ran Yue was willing or not to meet up with Ran Xueyi was not something she should be thinking about right now. Li Jing has to solve her problem with RAn Mo Zheng and his mistress!
"Ma'am, the car in front of us stopped." The taxi driver brought Li Jing back to her senses.
Li Jing quickly reached for her wallet and gave the driver the money, then she stepped out of the car and went to the entrance of the building.
The building was four-storey and newly-painted. From the looks of it, it was developed by a film corporation. In front of the building were several people blocked by the metal bar fence, and by the entrance, two burly men in black T-shirts stood erect like two pillars. Even Li Jing was slightly afraid of approaching the guards.
But for the sake of her purpose today, Li Jing inhaled cold wind to encourage herself to come forward and talk to the guards.
As expected, when Li Jing came forward, the eyes of the guards went directly on her figure. They still stood in the same position but the aura around them changed instantly. It gave the image of them tackling anybody who braved to force their way inside.
Li Jing was a member of the High Society for a very long time now. If she couldn't even handle two guards, would she still call herself 'Li Jing'?
Li Jing quickly put on a smile and raised both her hands, showing a harmless pose to lower the guards' vigilance towards her. When she was just three feet away from them, she quickly started her plan.
"This... You two hardworking guards, have you seen my daughter?" Li Jing inquired. "I'm the mother of Ran Yue, she's an actress who's playing a role in the film inside. She left her script at home and as a mother, I'm worried that she might be scolded by the director and lose her job."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOne of the guards finally relaxed a bit when he heard the name of the actress. He was given the list of cast members in the film and clearly remembered that Ran Yue's name was one of them.
The guard then said, "Ma'am, you can't enter inside. The building is strictly being guarded now. If you want, you can hand me the script and I will make sure that Miss Ran Yue will get the script."
Li Jing's smile paused. Give him what? The script was just an excuse to get inside!
Li Jing: "That is..."
The guard saw her frown and asked, "Is there something wrong?"
Once again, the guard raised his vigilance and glared at Li Jing.
Li Jing was scared to death when the two guards looked at her as if she was nothing but a dwarf in their eyes whom they could tackle and throw outside.
Despite the risk of being thrown out, Li Jing still took two steps forward and whispered to the ear of the guard. She lowered his voice as she said, "Actually, I don't have the script with me.... Wait! Don't get me wrong. I'm really here to see my daughter..."
"You've heard of what happened a few days ago, right? Ran Xueyi... is my daughter." After saying this, Li Jing showed a sad expression and tears welled up in her eyes. She continued to speak, "To tell the truth, my daughter hasn't talked to me for the past three years because of a conflict in our family. When I found out about what happened to her, I was so worried and came here to wait for her at the hotel but they told me that she already left and came here."
"Can you two good men be the reason that our family can be one again and let me see my daughter?" Li Jing did not spare at twisting lies and turning them into truths to get what she wanted.
