"You... are you treating your mother as a stranger? You're willing to throw me out when I worked so hard to finally meet you? Ran Xueyi, how can you be so ruthless?" Li Jing couldn't believe that Ran Xueyi could still give her a cold shoulder when she already lowered her head to her.
"Then, tell me, did you really come here to see me?" Ran Xueyi's voice turned colder.
Li Jing was not used to seeing Ran Xueyi being so cold towards her and quickly said, "Of course! I heard what happened to you and that sl*t Steffanie, as your mother, shouldn't I see how my daughter is doing?"
"Do you think she's telling the truth?" Ran Xueyi's question was not directed to Li Jing, but to the person who was now standing at the door.
Who knows when Ran Yue entered the room, but when Li Jing turned to that direction, her heart jumped to see her second daughter standing next to the door.
Li Jing was afraid that Ran Yue would say something wrong that would make Ran Xueyi get angry at them so she signaled with her eyes to shut her up.
Unfortunately, Ran Yue was so tired of hiding and being pretentious. She was exhausted by how she lived her life these past three years like a fugitive and a hateful criminal.
Ran Yue avoided her mother's eyes and turned to Ran Xueyi as she said, "I'm sorry. I tried to keep her from coming to you, but I didn't know she followed me here."

"As for what she said about coming here to see how you're doing... You probably already have an answer to that."
Ran Xueyi did not give her any response. She quietly looked at Li Jing who now had her face red with rage.

As expected, after hearing her favorite daughter not going along with her plans, Li Jing exploded in anger and laughed, "Yue'er, what are you doing? Don't you know why I'm here? Am I not doing this for your sake? Do you think if I don't do this, that mistress and her bastards as well as your husband's bastard will let you live peacefully?"
"Mother!" The thorn in Ran Yue's heart was touched when she heard mother saying this.
? However, Li Jing didn't care and continued, "And you, Ran Xueyi. We're family. What happened in the past should be forgotten already! Now that your family is in trouble, shouldn't you reach out to help us now that you're so successful?"
"Can't you even at least think of the past when we were by your side?"
"Madam Ran, don't forget, our relationship ended a long time ago." Ran Xueyi said calmly. "As for remembering the past, don't even ask me that kind of question, it will only make me remember how I was abandoned like a puppy by my own parents."
For her entire life, Ran Xueyi watched as all children around her laughed and played with their parents, while she was thrown to the side for her grandparents to take care of; her parents only cared about cruising the world and enjoying their lives.
And to get her parents' attention, Ran Xueyi worked hard to become the perfect daughter they wanted. She entered many competitions, won so many awards, and even entered the showbiz industry just to help their company.
But what did Ran Xueyi get?
A frontal and backside stab delivered by her own family.
How pitiful and miserable was that?
Did she work so hard in her life only for them to trample on her and when they realize they're wrong, they could just tell her to forget the past and start over again?
Ran Xueyi was not willing. She will never forget how dark and painful her past was. Not because she wanted to live in pain forever by reliving all the bad things, but to prevent the same outcome from happening to her son.

Now that she has become a mother to Xiao Zhanzhan, Ran Xueyi will do everything to give him a normal life and be the parent he could be proud of. Have the family that truly loves him.
Ran Xueyi took her script and bag with her as she headed towards the door, "I still have something to do. Ran Yue, have someone escort your family member outside and tell them to not come here anymore."
...
When the door was pushed and closed, leaving Ran Yue and Li Jing inside the waiting room, Li Jing could not take it any longer and scolded her daughter.
"Are you out of your mind?" Li Jing did not think that Ran Yue would ruin her effort and plans by coming over there. "I was just going to ask her to help us take her father down. Why did you come here and interrupt us?"
"Do you know how i had to fake my tears in front of other people just for them to let me inside? If those madams were to find out what I did today. How do you think I would look in front of them?"
"Yue'er, I'm doing this for you. Ran Xueyi is the only one who can make her father give up fighting!"
Ran Yue patiently and calmly waited for her mother to finish speaking. "Mother, it is not that I don't want to help you. It's just that the person you're looking for help is not willing to help us. She doesn't even treat us as family, much less think we're worthy of her time."
"Nonsense! Ran Xueyi just thinks that she can live this world alone, how many children could survive without their parents and family?" Li Jing argued back. "Look, she's not even married yet. I bet she's saved enough fortune to contend against your father."
Ran Yue was speechless when she heard her mother. She couldn't take it any longer and raised her voice, "Mother! Stop! Just stop saying anything without thinking."
"Isn't it enough that we took her bank account from her? We stole the money from the joint bank account that Ran Xueyi saved up all her life. We shouldn't be thinking about taking her fortune anymore."
