As expected, the guards were moved by her words. However, they didn't necessarily believe her. After all, anyone could spin their stories but can't prove what they claim.
The other guard looked at the first guard and finally chipped in, "Ma'am, it's not that we don't want to let you in. We just can't solely believe in your words. Well, if you have any proof of your relationship with the actress, maybe we can help you."
Upon hearing this, Li Jing knew she had won the bed and didn't risk anything by coming here!
Li Jing excitedly and happily clapped her hands and said, "Of course! I brought my family registry."
She showed them the certificate and showed the list of family members. The two guards saw the name 'Ran Xueyi' written as the oldest daughter just above Ran Yue.
The two of them glanced at each other before one of the guards pushed the door open for Li Jing while saying, "We'll give you five minutes. You can ask someone inside which rooms your daughters are in."
...
At the same time, Ran Yue, who was sitting in front of the mirror while a make-up artist was fixing her makeup, suddenly shuddered. Her gut feeling was flaring.
Without listening to the make-up artist telling her to stay still, she pulled her phone and called her mother.
As soon as the call connected, Ran Yue asked, "Mother... Are you still at the hotel?"
Li Jing stood in front of a door with a label attached to it; the words on the label was RX's Waiting Room. It didn't take a person to guess whose room it belonged to. Besides, a production crew member led her there when she asked where Ran Xueyi was.
Hearing Ran Yue's voice through the phone, Li Jing whispered: "No, dear. I'm not at your older sister's waiting room."
Ran Yue abruptly stood up and was immediately alarmed. "Wait, mother, don't go there right now. At least wait for me to get there!"
Li Jing did not reply to Ran Yue. Actually, before she came to stop in front of Ran Xueyi's waiting room, she already passed where Ran Yue was located... but she didn't want to stop there and went directly to see Ran Xueyi.
...
Inside the waiting room, Ran Xueyi heard the sound of a knock on the door. Adelle wasn't there to open it because she left as soon as she sent Ran Xueyi to the set to get a filming resource from another city.
She expected it to be either a production crew member or Director Xiao. However, after she opened the door, standing in front of her was the woman she saw a glimpse of last night and never wanted to meet again.
"My daughter... I heard what happened... My poor baby!" Li Jing reached her hands out for a hug. But, Ran Xueyi quickly dodged to the side.
Ran Xueyi looked at the crew member who led Li Jing to her waiting room and asked, "Didn't Director Xiao and Producer Long tell everyone to block anyone from meeting me?"
The crew member felt guilty and said, "But this lady said she's your mother... How could we..."
Ran Xueyi took a deep breath, "Next time, don't let anyone in even if they're family members. We're currently at the later stage of filming, any disturbance and distraction can interrupt the filming."
"Disturbance? Am I a disturbance? I'm your mother!" Li Jing started to show a sad expression again in front of the crew members. "Look at this child, we've never seen each other for three years and you're already calling me a distraction in front of somebody!"
Ran Xueyi did not bother to respond to her words. She warned the crew member not to spread any rumors outside and to not repeat this again before closing the door.
The crew member was struck dumb and confused.
However, thinking of what happened a few days ago, the crew member really did not tell anyone about this.
"After not meeting for so long, you're not even willing to greet your mother?" Li Jing walked around the room, admiring the extravagance and classy appearance of it.
After hearing her question, Ran Xueyi only showed a cold smile on her lips, "Madam Ran, you seemed to have gotten lost and came to my room instead of your daughter."
"If you're looking for Ran Yue, she's two doors away," she added.
Ran Xueyi was telling her to get lost!
At this moment, Ran Xueyi did not even want to deal with her mother.
"Aren't you my daughter?" Li Jing turned around to her. "Yi'er, I know what we did to you three years ago was wrong. We were too much and abandoned you. If I knew the Yang family wanted to use my two daughters, I wouldn't have pushed through the engagement between you and Yang Baihua!"
"But I had no choice. I'm just a woman. And your father was the one who wanted to hide the truth from you. He owed a huge debt to the Yang family, he couldn't afford breaking off the engagement between you and Yang Baihua."
"I couldn't stop your father. Yi'er, forgive me, okay?"
Li Jing put all her feelings into her words. It was an impromptu performance to get Ran Xueyi's sympathy. After all, Ran Xueyi was one who had a soft heart.
After giving Li Jing some time to say everything she wanted, Ran Xueyi went to take the tissue box on the table and handed it over to her.
Li Jing was inwardly happy when she saw her daughter's gesture and joyfully took the tissue box.
"If you're done crying... Can you leave now?" Ran Xueyi leaned her back against the wall and looked at Li Jing. "I'm now the most popular actress in the country. I don't have the time to listen to you and your problems."
"Please leave or I will be forced to have the guards outside to throw you outside." Ran Xueyi was indifferent to Li Jing's disbelief and confused expression.
...
Poisonlily has something to say: I pity Ran Xueyi. She just wanted a motherly figure in her life, why did she get a carnivorous mother instead?
