âSo, thatâs why I have such a headache! Some of her fans have dredged up Huang Youdeâs incident again, making it seem like she wonât let you off the hook now that sheâs turned her fortunes around. I donât know if her team is manipulating things behind the scenes, but you should be careful lately. Sheâs riding high again, and sheâll definitely cause trouble for you!â
Rong Yan raised her eyebrows indifferently, âIf sheâs capable, let her come.â
Estelle said, âIâm afraid theyâll resort to underhanded tactics that you canât guard against.â
Rong Yanâs beautiful eyes were steady and composed, not at all affected by the news of Rong Weiwei, and she said calmly, âEstelle, even if she hadnât turned the tables, her methods wouldnât have been upright. The only thing she can hold against me is Little Babyâs issue, but I will absolutely not let him be exposed to the media. So, let her slander me as she pleases; I wonât respond. As for anything else, sheâs welcome to try!â
Rong Weiwei had not been short of cunning schemes and manipulations previously, at first getting Shi Mufeng to claim she was unfaithful and later obtaining Little Babyâs birth certificate, bribing Huang Youde to throw dirt on her.
Ever since Rong Weiwei returned to the country, she showed no signs of stopping her antics.
But now, if Rong Weiwei intended to continue down this path, based on the fact that she had once pushed Little Baby into the water, Rong Yan wouldnât be as merciful as she was at the beginning!
If Rong Weiwei intended to make a scene, she would have to see whether sheâd still be given any face to carry onâ¦
Seeing her composed and calm, Estelle also felt reassured, âI just wanted to inform you about the souvenir film. By the way, âThe Three Kingdomsâ is going to be released soon, and thereâs a new film premiere in Capital City. As one of the lead actors, you need to attend.â
âOK.â Rong Yan was now open to all work opportunities.
Because she was poor!
Poor enough to be half-dead!
She couldnât even afford sanitary pads anymore; if she continued to be this poor, she wouldnât be able to support herself, let alone save money to take care of Little Baby.
After some thought, she said to the capable businesswoman, âEstelle, could you help me look for any local promotional performance gigs around Capital City that are about a dayâs work? Help me book a couple.â
Estelle, aware of her recent financial struggles, nodded, âIâll keep an eye out for you.â
âThanks, Estelle.â
Estelle, seeing her smile as bright as flowers and unaffected by Rong Weiwei, felt her heart relax considerably, let out a sigh of relief, and looked out the car window, âWeâve arrived at Dihor Garden. Iâll let you know when I find a suitable promotional performance, you should rest early if your stomach is feeling off today.â
âAlright.â Rong Yan picked up her purse, opened the car door, and said to the person inside, âIâm off first, Estelle.â
âOkay, Iâll call you if anything comes up.â
âNo problem.â Rong Yan got out of the car, waved to the person inside, and then closed the car door.
The silver nanny car drove away smoothly.
Rong Yan watched the car leave, pulled her duckbill cap lower, found her phone, and called Little Baby.
The phone was answered in two seconds.
âHello, Duidui Little Bao, do you want to go out for dinner with mommy? Mhm, Iâm downstairs. No rush, take your time changing your shoes, Iâll wait for you.â
After hanging up the phone, Rong Yan glanced at her phone and noticed the unread messages.
[Mom, it looks like the big villain cooked some brown sugar water for you, are you not feeling well?]
Brown sugar water?
Rong Yan focused on the message and its timestampâit was sent at three in the morning the previous night by Little Baby. She had been busy all day today and was only now getting a chance to check her phone, seeing the message for the first time.
Did Li Shengxiao make her brown sugar water to drink last night?
Rong Yan vaguely remembered something of the sort.
