When Mother Yuan saw Yuan Ranran come back alone with a suitcase and crying while looking particularly haggard, she quickly went forward and sit Yuan Ranran on the sofa. She grabbed Yuan Ranran’s hand and asked while her heart ached for her daughter, “What’s the matter? What happened?”

Raising her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, Yuan Ranran could not stop her sobs. She could not believe that she had been chased out of the set just like that.

“Mom, I’m fine.” Yuan Ranran was unwilling to tell Mother Yuan about what had happened on the set.

However, seeing her beloved daughter crying so miserably, how could Mother Yuan be at ease? She simply said gently once more, “Ranran, what happened? Tell mom. Mom and dad will help you.”

Seeing that Mother Yuan persisted in her questioning, Yuan Ranran knew that it was impossible to hide it from Mother Yuan, thus she might as well tell her version of the matter. “Mom, my assistant tampered with the explosives. There was an explosion on set, and the director kicked me out. But I didn’t even know about all this,” Yuan Ranran said aggrievedly, and her tears fell again.

She would never admit to having instigated all this. Other than that, she suddenly had a thought. If she told Father Yuan and Mother Yuan about this matter, they would call Shen Que, and Shen Que would probably let her off the hook for good old relative’s sake.

“Ranran, how can they be so unreasonable? What about Xiao Que? Didn’t Xiao Que speak up for you?” Mother Yuan said resentfully.

Looking at Mother Yuan’s eyes, Yuan Ranran sobbed as she said, “Shen Que happened to be on the scene when the explosion happened. She was slightly injured, but nothing else. However, she just watched me being driven out.”

Hearing Yuan Ranran’s complaint, Mother Yuan said unhappily, “How can this child do things like this?” She reached out and gently patted Yuan Ranran’s hand twice, comforting Yuan Ranran gently, “Ranran, don’t worry. Mom and dad will talk to her. You go upstairs and rest for a while.”

Yuan Ranran wiped her tears and nodded. She picked up the suitcase next to her and went upstairs.

Seeing Yuan Ranran go upstairs, Mother Yuan stood up and went straight to Father Yuan’s study. She told Father Yuan the whole story. The two of them were already dissatisfied with what Shen Que had done recently, thus when they heard that she didn’t plead for Yuan Ranran, they got even angrier at her and were ranting about their dissatisfaction.

“Well, it’s useless to scold her now. We have to help Ranran!” Mother Yuan said.

“Alright, give her a call now,” Father Yuan said coldly, his face full of impatience. To him, Yuan Ranran was the best daughter he could ever have, someone like Shen Que was not even worth mentioning.

The two of them took someone else’s phone to call Shen Que.

Although Shen Que answered the call, she was fully aware that Father Yuan and Mother Yuan wouldn’t have anything nice to say. Sure enough, the moment Mother Yuan spoke, her words were: “Xiao Que, such a thing happened to Ranran on set. You’re her sister, help her!”

“My words don’t have much weight either. Besides, she brought this upon herself. I can’t help her.” Shen Que directly refused.

As soon as these words were said, Shen Que could clearly hear Father Yuan scolding her in the background and her face turned cold. This so-called biological father of hers had never had any good words for her. It was clearly their daughter who had plotted to kill her! How could they be so indifferent as to ask her for help? Did they not know where the line lies?!

“Xiao Que, for the sake of mom and dad, help her this time! Besides, Ranran already told me that it was her assistant who did all this. She doesn’t know anything,” Mother Yuan pleaded again.

“This is the director’s decision. I think you’ve found the wrong person.” After saying this, Shen Que directly hung up the phone. She didn’t want to listen to any more of Mother Yuan’s words. She felt bitterly disappointed by the actions of these two people..
