Chapter 32: Moving House, Protecting their Daughter

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It was Su Fangyun’s turn.

“This is my arrangement. Any objections?”

When Su Fangyun raised the corners of her eyes, she had an oppressive aura.

Yu Ting was already afraid of Su Fangyun due to the impression she made during the meal yesterday. She immediately stopped scolding Ming Dai and became submissive.

She smiled ingratiatingly. “No, Manager Su, that’s not what I meant. I just feel that Ming Dai is still young and definitely needs Dad and Mom to accompany her.”

She made it sound like she had to wash and cook for Ming Dai every day.

The truth was that Ming Dai had taken on all the housework. If Ming Dai were to leave, it would not only mean that Yu Ting would continue to stay in this old house, but it would also mean that she would lose her most useful free worker.

Yu Ting was very reluctant and kept winking at Ming Dai.

Ming Dai stood silently beside Su Fangyun. She looked down and pretended not to see anything.

Yu Ting gritted her teeth in anger.

Su Fangyun crossed his arms and glanced at Yu Ting. She was too lazy to explain and directly said, “Company rules.”

The colder she was, the more afraid Yu Ting was. She hesitated for a long time but did not dare to continue asking. She watched as Ming Dai entered the room to pack her things.

In order to perfectly establish the image of an unreasonable big manager, Su Fangyun found a sofa in the living room and sat down. Before sitting down, she even looked at the sofa cushion with disdain.

Yu Ting first went to the kitchen to pour a glass of cold water. “Take a seat. I’ll go see if there’s anything I can help with.”

She turned around and chased after Ming Dai into the room.

Su Fangyun almost rushed out to “protect her daughter.” In the end, she gritted her teeth and endured it.

When Yu Ting entered the room and saw Ming Dai standing in front of the wardrobe, she said sarcastically.

“Oh, so you’ve turned into a phoenix? You don’t even like the clothes at home anymore?”

Ming Dai glanced at her from the corner of her eye and did not reply.

Yu Ting quickly looked outside. After confirming that Su Fangyun was not here, she lowered her voice and questioned Ming Dai.

“Was it your idea to move? Did you deliberately find that agent to pressure us?”

“You’re thinking too much.”

Ming Dai replied calmly without stopping.

“Ha, I’m thinking too much. I knew you were restless and scheming since you were young. You even know how to scheme against your parents at this juncture! Anyway, I’m warning you. If you think that I can’t control you after leaving this house, then you’re thinking too much! I’m your biological mother! Don’t you actors value your reputation the most? If you dare to make money and turn against me, I’ll expose you on television later! Do you understand?”

The shadow of the room enveloped Yu Ting’s face. The lines on her skin that had turned from exhaustion twisted ferociously with her exaggerated facial expression, like a roaring demon in the darkness.

Ming Dai smiled ambiguously as she listened to these familiar words that she had heard thousands of times in her previous life.

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

“You’re still not done?”

Su Fangyun still couldn’t hold it in and pretended to be impatient as she walked in to urge her.

Yu Ting hurriedly smiled apologetically. “Almost done, almost done… Ming Dai! Be more agile! Can’t you see that someone is waiting for you? You’re always dilly-dallying!”

This was her biological mother, this was her biological mother… Su Fangyun repeatedly used her words to persuade herself and suppress her temper. “It’s fine.”

Yu Ting did not see through her. Instead, she apologized profusely. “Ming Dai has been like this since she was young. She’s not used to it and has made a fool of herself!”

Su Fangyun’s face darkened. “That’s enough!”

Why was she always belittling her child?

Look at Ming Dai’s normal expression. She must have said it countless times!

She actually said that Ming Dai’s habits weren’t good. Why not take a look at the stark contrast between the cleanliness of this room and the outside world?

Just then, Ming Dai picked up her bag. “I’m done.”

Su Fangyun suppressed her anger and looked over. She almost gave up. “That’s all?”

The things that Ming Dai wanted to take away could actually be filled up with a small school bag?

Ming Dai: “I don’t have much.”

“Then let’s go.”

Su Fangyun could not be bothered to say goodbye to Yu Ting. She turned around and left.

Ming Dai quickly followed behind and threw Yu Ting’s hateful gaze to the back of her head.

All the way until they got into the car, Su Fangyun could not vent the anger in her chest. It was unbearable.

“How can your parents treat you like this! Are they your biological parents?”

Ming Dai laughed silently and almost answered her with, “you are right.”

Oh, no. Yu Ting did not know that she was not her biological daughter. If Gu Lingsi had grown up in this family, she would have received the same treatment, right?

Perhaps to the couple, only their son was their bloodline, and their daughter was just an outsider.

“Don’t be angry. I’m used to it.”

Ming Dai even comforted Su Fangyun.

Su Fangyun really did not know what to say and swore to treat Ming Dai better.

… She did not realize that she was becoming more and more like a mother.

When she sent Ming Dai back to her new dormitory, her assistant, Huang Yuanyuan, was already waiting downstairs.

Su Fangyun parked the car and talked about the arrangements for the next week.

“I won’t go up with you. If there’s anything, ask your assistant. I’ll send the script to you electronically tomorrow. The night after tomorrow, you’ll go for a makeup test and take a makeup photo. For the next three nights, I’ve arranged for an acting teacher to do a surprise training for you before filming starts. The schedule might be a little tight, but you have to learn to slowly adapt to this rhythm. You’ll be even busier in the future.”

“Okay.” Ming Dai hugged her bag and nodded obediently.

Su Fangyun was not the kind of person who was worried.

However, when she saw Ming Dai nestled in the front passenger seat like a white silkworm, she still reminded her.

“Eat well and rest well. Don’t quarrel with your classmates. Remember to call me if you need anything.”

It was really like a mother’s worry for her child on the first day of kindergarten.

Ming Dai shook her head. “Got it.”

“Go on.”

Ming Dai pushed the door open and got out of the car.

The girl in the bright yellow down jacket who was waiting not far away immediately ran over with a vibrant smile.

“Hello, Ming Dai. I’m your assistant, Huang Yuanyuan!”

Ming Dai sized her up curiously and replied, “Hello.”

Huang Yuanyuan reached out to take her bag. “Let me help you!”

Ming Dai refused, but Huang Yuanyuan was overly enthusiastic and asked about her well-being along the way. She wanted to leave a good impression on Ming Dai.

Ming Dai did have a good impression of her. Huang Yuanyuan was warm but not flattering. She was sincere.

After the two of them reached home, Huang Yuanyuan let Ming Dai sit on the sofa to rest while she started to organize her things.

Since Ming Dai said that she wanted to pack up together, she had no choice but to do so. She patted her chest and said,

“Call me if anything happens in the future! I promise I’ll be on call!”

“That would be exhausting.”

“It’s okay! It’s inevitable to suffer for a while! My goal is to become a big manager like Sister Su!”

Huang Yuanyuan clenched her fists and was very energetic!

Ming Dai understood the reason for Huang Yuanyuan’s enthusiasm.

“Okay.”

She was all smiles.
