Chapter 1284: Chapter 1283: Taking the Initiative Chapter 1284: Chapter 1283: Taking the Initiative Su Qian felt she had to try.

She had probably misjudged the situation before.

Now she wondered if she had been overestimating her abilities.

First, she needed to find someone to track down Madam Zhou’s whereabouts.

Then she would personally take the initiative to apologize.

Su Qian was determined this time, bringing forth her utmost sincerity.

Because if she didn’t figure something out, her acting career was likely doomed.

No one knew how much time and sacrifice it took her to reach the position she was in.

It was hard to imagine revisiting those unbearable memories, which she didn’t want to think about at all now.

So this time, she could only succeed, not fail.

Worst case scenario, it would be a fight to the death.

A grim expression spread across Su Qian’s face, making the assistant beside her somewhat timid.

She knew Su Qian must be feeling terrible inside, as her status as the “number one sister” was in jeopardy.

Moreover, many people in the company were laughing at her. When she was the “number one sister,” her attitude was arrogant, always looking down on others. Now that she was down and out, wouldn’t those people take the opportunity to step on her?

She knew Su Qian had a strong sense of pride, how could she tolerate such a thing happening?

The assistant glanced over and then quietly withdrew, or else she’d be in for it if Su Qian had an outburst later.

That’s what Su Qian thought inside, and she immediately took action.

She found a reliable private detective to inquire about Madam Zhou’s whereabouts.

…

Bai Lan had finally made it through the tough early stages of pregnancy. God, those days were like being in prison.

Eat and sleep, sleep and eat, leading a pig-like existence.

Bai Lan felt if she kept this up, she was going to have a mental breakdown.

Finally, at the prenatal checkup, the doctor announced that the fetus was doing well and she could move around a bit now.

After all, she was entering the second trimester, and the good days had finally arrived.

Bai Lan was ecstatic to hear the news.

Zhou Shengting, too, finally let go of a huge burden. Ever since Bai Lan got pregnant, he felt his hair had turned several shades lighter.

It was too stressful.

He still made it a point to accompany Bai Lan to the checkup today; he didn’t want to miss any checkups for the baby.

He wanted to know the situation at the first opportunity.

“Okay, Madam Zhou, you’re finally free. What’s the plan for today? I shall risk my life to accompany you,” Zhou Shengting said with a smile, his deep and resolute face beaming with joy.

“Risking your life? No need for you to accompany me. You’re free today too, so hurry back to the company to work. I’m meeting up with Xiaotong for lunch,” Bai Lan already had plans, and Xiaotong was her bestie. They hadn’t met in a long while.

If Zhou Shengting was there, their chat would be uncomfortable, unable to whisper secrets.

Besides, Zhou Shengting’s company had a lot of work waiting for him. It was rare enough for this workaholic to accompany her to the prenatal checkup.

“What, you’re ditching me?” Zhou Shengting pretended to lament.

“Stop being so cutesy, hurry up and get busy. Just drop me off at New Century Plaza,” Bai Lan said and immediately called her bestie.

Zhou Shengting had always put his wife first, and he would certainly do as she said.

So he immediately started the car and drove Bai Lan to New Century Plaza.

He had wanted to wait with Bai Lan for Song Xiaotong to arrive, but Bai Lan gave him a few glares, and then he reluctantly left.

Bai Lan couldn’t help but roll her eyes; she wasn’t a child, did she really need someone to accompany her while waiting for someone else? Wouldn’t that just be a joke if word got out?

While Bai Lan was waiting, a gentle and sweet voice came from behind her, “Madam Zhou?”
