Steffanie lived her days at the filming set freely and happily without any worries at all. First, the annoying cowardly manager Shi Lian was finally out of her clutches, hiding somewhere that she arranged for her. That useless manager can no longer pester her about her sick and about to die father since she was too afraid to come out for fear that the police would pick her up.
On one hand, Shi Lian was also afraid of making Steffanie angry with the threat of using her as a scapegoat when the truth was exposed and not being able to get out of prison without Steffanie's help. On the other hand, Shi Lian did not want his father to be relieved of the financial and medical support that Stefannie promised her.
Secondly, Ran Xueyi was not in the filming location and Steffanie can no longer see her face anymore. And even if she returns, Steffanie doubted Ran Xueyi still had the face to show in front of everyone having it been ruined and disfigured.
Ah... I can't wait for sister Jingjing to praise me! Steffanie was all smiles as she entered the restroom she didn't even notice that someone was following her.
At this moment, Ran Xueyi was playing a game of cards with Song Yu Han and Xiao Zhanzhan.
"Mommy, which one should I pick?"
Ran Xueyi said, "The middle one."
Song Yu Han frowned and looked down at his son. "That's cheating. It's bad to do that."
Xiao Zhanzhan blinked his adorable eyes and pouted. "Mommy, am I doing something bad?"
"Well... it is really bad to cheat. But since I let you cheat in the game, it's alright!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSong Yu Han interrupted before the two could get to a conclusion whether it was alright for Xiao Zhanzhanto to cheat or not. "Cheating is only done by losers. They're not real men!"
Ran Xueyi: "..."
Their son was only 3 years old, when did he become an adult man already?
Xiao Zhanzhan paused and considered his father's words very seriously.
He turned his head and asked, "Mommy, what does A'Yu mean by real men?"
Ran Xueyi thought about it for a few seconds and finally answered, "You're still a boy so you might not understand. A real man is an adult man like your daddy. But an adult man cannot necessarily become a real man. They can be a scu... a bad man too. A real man protects, loves, and has to be loyal to the person they love. They also respect the people they love and understand the people qho are precious to them."
Xiao Zhanzhan still didn't understand what a real man meant but hearing the sincerity and seriousness in his mother's tone and voice, it must be something that is very important. He should never forget about it.
Xiao Zhanzhan brightly stared at her. "Mommy, I'll become a real man in the future so I can protect you and love you!"
Song Yu Han timely butted in. "Mommy is already being protected and loved by me. Look for someone of your age to take care of and love in the future."
Xiao Zhanzhan did not want anyone else. "I only want mommy! A'Yu can look for someone else!"
Song Yu Han flicked his son's forehead and sneered. He then said, "Telling your father to cheat isn't what a real man should say. Besides, forget about me, your mommy will be angry at you if you say that again."
Hearing him say this, Xiao Zhanzhan didn't believe that his mommy will be angry at him, but when he turned to face Ran Xueyi, he couldn't help but shiver a little.
Ran Xueyi laughed and ruffled his hair. "Xiao Zhanzhan is still too young. Don't tease him anymore."
Since she had already spoken, the two men inside the room no longer said anything ans continued to play with their cards. This time, Xiao Zhanzhan no longer asked Ran Xueyi which card to pick from and seriously looked at his own card as if his life depends on it.
As the family of three happily played together, suddenly, Ran Xueyi's phone rang.
She looked at the number and was slightly stunned.
Seeing the change in her expression, Song Yu Han asked, "Who is it?"
Ran Xueyi: "My grandfather."
Ran Xueyi's grandfather was already old this year. After three years of not being in the country, Ran Xueyi could only check on her grandparents through the old butler taking care of them.
In the past, this couple was the one who took over the position of a father and mother to Ran Xueyi when her biological parents were having too much fun going overseas and leaving her out of their lives. They showered Ran Xueyi with love and affection that she could never get in the past. And thanks to their hands-on attention and teachings, Ran Xueyi grew up very well and distinguished amongst her peers.
Ran Xueyi pressed the answer button and said, "Grandpa?"
Grandpa Ran was silent for a second before his familiar hoarse voice poured out of the speakers. "Silly child, you finally know how to answer my calls?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn order to not worry them further, Ran Xueyi hid almost everything to her grandfather. Not an uneasy feat since Grandpa Ran was a man who once held the business world with an iron grip with other pioneers like him. He could inquire about her and find out about everything if he wanted to. But Grandpa Ran wanted Ran Xueyi to have her freedom to do what she wanted.
Ran Xueyi smiled. Her grandfather was still the same, caling her silly and a child. "Grandpa, how's grandma?"
"You're only asking about her? What about me? You're not going to ask me?"
Ran Xueyi did not know whether to cry or laugh. "How are you, grandpa?"
Grandpa Ran clicked his tongue and said, "Hmph! I'm still staying strong and alive to this day. How can I leave this world when you haven't given me any grandchild who can sit on my lap!"
Ran Xueyi lowered her head and looked at Xiao Zhanzhan, who was still glaring at his own cards.
"Xueyi, I know your parents are wrong and they stole everything from you. But don't let it hold you back from starting over again." Grandpa Ran was worried that Ran Xueyi still hasn't moved on from her breakup with Yang Baihua and betrayal of her family. But he didn't want her to stay like this forever.
"Listen, there's a party that will happen next week. I'll introduce you to my friend's son and see if you two can get along with each other."
Just as Ran Xueyi was about to respond, a hand took her phone away.
"There's no need to. Xueyi already have me, grandpa."
Ran Xueyi stared at him and laughed. Is this guy eating vinegar again?
Song Yu Han thought that Grandpa Ran did not understand his meaning and immediately added, "I will visit you next time and introduce myself to you and grandma as your new grandson-in-law."
