Shen Xi asked, “What about you? Do you really plan to be alone for the rest of your life?”
Sun Ming chewed on some pearls for a while and then replied, “When we are young, we mustn’t meet someone too extraordinary. Otherwise, if we can’t have that person, our whole life will be ruined. As for me, I can’t find anyone who compares to him anymore. I just want to carry the beautiful memories I had with him and live happily for the rest of my life.”
Shen Xi let out a wistful sigh. Matters of the heart were truly beyond one’s control, so she did not offer any advice.
An unfamiliar number rang in, and Shen Xi instinctively answered, ‘Hello, who’s this?’
On the other end, Xia Chun heard Shen Xi’s voice and quickly adopted a conciliatory tone, saying, “Xi, it’s me, your mother. I want to see you now.
There’s something I need to discuss with you. Can you make time for me?”
Shen Xi furrowed her brow and chuckled, “Who is this impostor pretending to be my mother?”
With that, she promptly hung up the phone.
Xia Chun was quite shameless to call herself Shen Xi’s mother. Ridiculous!
Soon, the phone rang again, and Shen Xi answered it once more.
This time, Xia Chun refrained from using the term “mother” and anxiously said, “Xi, it’s Xia Chun. Where are you now? Let’s meet up.”
“Xia Chun? What’s the purpose of meeting? Do we have something to discuss?” Shen Xi leisurely sipped her milk tea and toyed with Xia Chun.
With a meek tone, Xia Chun said, “Xi, we’ve lived together for eighteen years. It’s okay to catch up now and then.”
“That’s true. Alright, come on over. I’d like to hear what you have to say,” Shen Xi agreed, providing her address, and Xia Chun was on her way.
Sun Ming exchanged a knowing glance with Shen Xi, who smiled in return.
Xia Chun arrived promptly, with Sun Ming leading the way, and she approached Shen Xi.
She looked at her with an ingratiating expression, then glanced at the people around her and said, “Xi, can we find a quieter place to talk?”
Shen Xi, looking puzzled, asked, “Is there something confidential you want to discuss? If it’s just a casual matter, I don’t think it’s necessary. These are my friends here.’
Xia Chun was becoming increasingly anxious, suspecting that Shen Xi knew her true purpose in coming and was deliberately making things difficult. Nevertheless, considering her daughter who had been taken away, Xia Chun suppressed her anger and said, “Yes, I have something confidential to discuss with you.”
Shen Xi stood up and said, “Fine, there are fewer people over there. Let’s go and talk.”
Xia Chun’s face lit up with a smile, and she followed Shen Xia
Observing the distant staff members, Shen Xi asked directly, ‘So, what’s the matter?’
Xia Chun nervously twisted her fingers and said, “Xi, can you help Gu Ning by having those online videos taken down?”
Shen Xi frowned, her lips curving in a subtle smirk. “Why should I help Gu Ning? She got herself into this mess, and now that her videos are all over the internet, what can I do to help her? Besides, what’s your relationship with Gu Ning, and why are you asking me to help her?”
Xia Chun saw that Shen Xi was pretending to be clueless and was growing impatient. “Xi, you must help Gu Ning. She… she’s Jiang Xue, my daughter.
Can’t you do it as a favor to me?”
Shen Xi raised an eyebrow and looked at Xia Chun. “Are you joking? Gu Ning is
Gu Ning, and Jiang Xue is Jiang Xue. They look totally different. How can they be the same person?”
Xia Chun, in her desperation, admitted, “Four years ago, Xue and I went abroad, and she had plastic surgery that took a whole year to complete her transformation into her current appearance. Then, three years ago, she took Gu An’s surname and changed her name to Gu Ning. She’s no longer Jiang
Xue.n
Shen Xi’s lips curled into a smile. “But why are you telling me this? I can’t help with Gu Nings situation, and now that I know she’s Jiang Xue, it’s even more impossible for me to help.”
“Xi, you can’t be so heartless! I raised you for eighteen years, can’t you do me this one favor and help Jiang Xue? Please?” Xia Chun pleaded desperately.
“Well, my parents also raised Jiang Xue for eighteen years, so the debts are already settled between us. Besides, Jiang Xue has done some awful things to me in the past. She even influenced her fans to attack me and Lu Lin. In any case, she doesn’t deserve my help, and she got what she deserved,” Shen Xi coldly rejected..
