âAnran! I only have you now. You canât abandon me!â
Di Anran was rolling her eyes but she still said the sweetest words, âDonât worry. I am your daughter, after all. As long as you listen to me, I will make sure that youâll live a good life here in Country B.â
âThank god. I was so worried.â
âNow that Jing Lu is dead, did you get the land from her?â
Di Anran finally got to the main topic.
âWe got the loan using Xiao Luâs name, but now that sheâs dead with no children or husband, it will be ours. I donât have a problem, but her fatherâ¦
âIâm sure he hates me now. Iâm afraid that he wonât sign it.â
Cheng Shuyu was a little embarrassed when she told Di Anran how they had left Jing Xuean in a rehabilitation center.
âHmm⦠Just wait for my assistant an hour later at the rehabilitation center. Since he is there now, he will never be able to leave that place alive. Itâs no different with him being dead. Just go inside with my assistant and she will get it done. You should sign the documents as well in order to give me the land. I will be boarding soon and will be there by tomorrow morning. Just pass the documents to me tomorrow.â
âAlright, no problem.â
âThe finals are tomorrow. Did you convince Jing Jie to quit?â
âIâ¦â
Di Anran frowned, âWhatâs wrong?â
âThat damn kid! His guardian now is Jinqian and heâs not talking to me anymore. I told him to leave his team and join yours, but he refused to listen to me. He even blocked my number. Even when I used a public phone, he wouldnât listen to me.â
Di Anranâs mind was about to explode.
She had to calm herself before asking, âDid the both of you really disown your son? I thought it wasnât true?â
âHow could that be possible? When the company was about to go into bankruptcy, we knew that it was all because of Zhan Lichuan. In order to stop him, we passed the company to Jing Jie before we disowned him. This was the only way that we wouldnât be involved. He knew that we only did this so that we would be able to save the company, but that brat decided to follow Jinqian instead.â
Di Anran rubbed her temples and sighed, âDo you know that Jing Jie is a genius?â
âGenius?â Cheng Shuyu was furious as she thought about Jing Jie. She sneered, âHeâs dumb! And heâs a traitor! He was only good at playing games. You have never seen his grades. Thereâs nothing good about it. Heâs mentally disabled!â
âHave you seen any mentally disabled people making it to national championships? Did you think that e-sports are like playing video games? Without intelligence and courage, it would be impossible to win.
âFine. Forget about this. Let me tell you something else.
âMy cousin, Princess Di Ranle of Country B, went to the internationally renowned fashion contest, the Chloe Contest. She participated in Country Z, but she only ended up in third place. Did you know who got first?â
Cheng Shuyu was a little lost. She seemed to be able to understand where this was going since she always saw Jing Jie scribbling on papers.
âYou mean⦠Jing Jie?â
âSo you do know about his talents? Since you are aware of them, why did you give him to Jinqian?! Did you know that the value of his talents is ten times more than what the Jing company could bring?â
Cheng Shuyu was utterly confused.
