Chapter 2: Chapter 2: Little Tadpole Looking for Its Dad
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The outside world’s cacophony had nothing to do with the entertainment industry.
Outside KT Entertainment, Rong Yan passed her audition successfully. She hadn’t even left the building when her phone began to ring incessantly.
“Hello?” She glanced at the caller ID and decisively moved the phone a bit further from her ear.
As expected, a man’s furious shout came from the other end, “Little Demon Rong, what the hell are you up to? Why did you suddenly return to the country? Also, didn’t you tell me Baby was off to a children’s summer camp? Explain to me why Rong Duidui showed up at Mrs. Li’s birthday event, and why is she calling Li Shengxiao ‘Daddy’! What exactly is going on here?”
The real issue is why does Rong Duidui look so much like Li Shengxiao!
Rong Yan nearly went deaf from his shouting and, lacking any poise, she wiggled her finger in her ear before finding a quieter spot to respond, “It’s exactly as you’ve seen. A little tadpole looking for its father.”
Lin Xinbei almost laughed in amusement, “Don’t change the subject with me, I’m asking you what’s your relationship with Li Shengxiao? Why did you suddenly return to the country and go to an entertainment company for an audition? Little Demon Rong, what are you really up to?”
“Well, it’s definitely not aphrodisiacs.”
“Rong Yan!”
Seeing that the person on the other end was about to blow up again, she quickly straightened up and explained, “I was wrong, I was wrong. My relationship with Li Shengxiao… at most could be considered… a fling? A one-night stand? Anyway, he’s got nothing to do with me now.”
The main point is, if we were to talk about seniority, Li Shengxiao should call her ‘grand-auntie’. Ennnn… To avoid unnecessary trouble, it’s better not to get tangled with him.
“Then why on earth did you send Rong Duidui back? Are you out of your mind?”
Lin Xinbei was the only one who knew how hard she had worked over the years to earn money to support her son. Rong Yan was definitely not the kind of person who would send her child away for money.
“Rong Yan, don’t tell me you got your head caught in a door on your way out. I don’t believe that.”
If it were anyone else, Rong Yan would have surely brushed it off with a giggle. But Lin Xinbei had helped her out a lot over the years. When she left Capital City for overseas, she almost ended up homeless. Luckily, she met Lin Xinbei, who helped her find a place to stay and even lent her living expenses. Even though she returned the money later, that kindness couldn’t be measured with money!
She pursed her lips, leaned lazily against the wall, and instinctively reached for a cigarette before remembering she had quit smoking. Withdrawing her hand, her beautiful eyes showed a helplessness, “Can’t you just assume my head got caught instead? You know that Duidui is sick, right?”
“So?” Of course, he knew. Baby Rong had been diagnosed with a rare blood disease at the age of two, and for two years, Rong Yan had been desperately earning money and taking Baby Rong everywhere in search of a cure.
He suddenly realized, “Are you saying Li Shengxiao has a way to treat the illness?”
“The Li Family has the medicine; although taking it weekly can only temporarily control the condition, it’s still better than letting it drag on. I’ve looked into it, and the Li Family’s medicine was developed by assembling top genetic disease experts from around the world. There’s no formula available anywhere else, and no one else can get it except Shengxiao,” Rong Yan’s voice was filled with a touch of melancholy.
If she had a choice, how could she possibly give away her hard-raised, tender and adorable Little Baby?
