In her previous life, there was a time that she had a brief connection with Bai Qingyue. Bai Qingyue had saved her from being sexually harassed when Ye Mingyu spiked her drink on one occasion and thought that the actress might not be as bad as she thought she was.
After that, she had met the woman on several occasions and Bai Qingyue was kind enough to teach her how to sing the song she'd been struggling to practice. She had thought that the actress was very kind to make an effort to check on her once in a while after her falling out with Yun Qingrong.
Alas, she should have known that the woman was up to something. Perhaps it was because Bai Qingyue was trying to get information from her and wanted to confirm if she was the daughter the actress had long abandoned.
When she told Bai Qingyue that she was planning to audition for a major role, the actress's face changed and looked at her with displeasure. It made Su Xiaofei think that the actress had suddenly became a different person.
"Why are you insisting on competing with Ye Mingyu? You're not even near her level. Just give up. You aren't born to act, and surely your mother didn't raise you to become a dog who only knows how to follow Ye Mingyu around." Bai Qingyue said with a straight face.
That was the most hurtful thing Su Xiaofei had ever heard during her time as an actor. While she knew that she wasn't as good at acting as Ye Mingyu, she thought that by working hard to hone her skills, she would be able to reduce the gap between them.
After that, Bai Qingyue made sure to remind her that she didn't belong to the showbiz industry, and she should consider leaving the stardom and limelight to Ye Mingyu, who was obviously more beautiful and more popular than her.
She struggled to keep up with Ye Mingyu, always exerting more effort to catch up with her. It hurt to hear, even for a prideful person like her, that her hard work was for nothing.
Su Xiaofei glared furiously at her birth mother. She felt Lu Qingfeng touch her arm, attempting to calm her down, but she couldn't. She was struggling to keep her emotions in check as she looked at Bai Qingyue.
"Is this one of your ploys to trick me?" She hissed at Bai Qingyue. "Do you think that by doing this I would be able to forgive you for abandoning me, choosing your career over your own child?!"
She heard Xi Qian sucked in a breath once those words left her mouth. While she had told Xi Qian about her being adopted by Yun Qingrong, she purposely omitted the part that she knew who her real parents were.
She then felt her husband's arm, wrapping around her torso, pressing her back against his chest. Su Xiaofei was glad he said nothing, because she needed him to understand that it wasn't easy for her to confront Bai Qingyue like this.
Bai Qingyue was silent, as if she didn't have any reason to defend herself from Su Xiaofei's harsh words. It made Su Xiaofei wonder if this was the Bai Qingyue she knew.
Did she really know Bai Qingyue at all? Was she missing something? She questioned herself.
Su Xiaofei regretted not knowing how Bai Qingyue ended up in her previous life after her death.
"Did you assume that by giving my mother the organs she needed, you would be able to rectify your mistakes?" Su Xiaofei continued, her eyes shining with tears as she struggled to calm down.
Every time she sees Bai Qingyue, she couldn't help but remember those hurtful words she said to her in her previous life. It hurt more because she thought that Bai Qingyue cared for her, that she believed in her. So it came as a surprise to Su Xiaofei that Bai Qingyue had used her influence to make some directors and producers pick Ye Mingyu over her.
"I don't expect you to understand." Bai Qingyue replied, still not daring to meet Su Xiaofei's gaze. "I didn't want you to know, and you weren't supposed to know that it was me."
Su Xiaofei wiped her tears with the back of her hand. She couldn't understand why she was even crying at this moment.
Regardless of who the donor was, she should be happy that her mother would have a better chance to live after this. But knowing it was Bai Qingyue… She didn't know how to proceed from here.
It wouldn't hurt this much if only she didn't remember what Bai Qingyue did to her in her previous life. She wouldn't have cared so much if she didn't know this woman was her real mother.
Su Xiaofei thought that she didn't have any lingering feelings for this woman after all that she found out about her. Even now, her mind and heart couldn't comprehend what she feels at this very moment.
She should feel grateful that Bai Qingyue saved Yun Qingrong's life, but a part of her wanted to see her regret what she had done to her. She wanted to see Bai Qingyue feel remorse and for her to know that she was nothing to her.
"I didn't think you would try to meet the donor this early. Your mother is still in the operating room, and I thought I still had enough time to be transferred to another hospital before you could find me."
Su Xiaofei's jaws hardened, knowing what Bai Qingyue said made sense. Because she couldn't stay still while the organ transplant was ongoing, she thought that she would use the time to thank the donor and their family instead of waiting.
"Then tell me the truth, why did you do it?" Su Xiaofei asked, almost pleading. "I need to know why… did you do it, so I would forgive you?"
Her tears continued to roll down her cheeks, but she didn't bother to wipe it dry anymore.
