Chapter 439 - Legal Rights

"We did not come here to ask for compensation for anything. Whatever that had happened during the competition is not important today. Besides, Bing Bing has already apologized to the people involved and the people that she had hurt."

"She apologized?"

"Yes. As I said, we came here with regards to Bing Bing, and it involves Mdm Xian, Mr. Luo, and Mr. Fan. Today, I don't represent Rise. I represent Blue Diamond Entertainment, which also means everyone in Blue Diamond Entertainment. I also came as a friend of Bing Bing." 

"Friend?" Xian Nuan scoffed, "With how you guys treat Bing Bing, you still dare to call yourself a friend of hers?"

"That's how some friendship comes about. Besides, I believe that a mother that bȧrėly noticed her daughter has no right to comment about what kind of friends we are. At least we know more about her than you do. Anyway, I am not here to discuss how we became friends. I am here to discuss the legal rights of Bing Bing."

"What do you mean?"

Fan Hui and Xian Nuan sat up straight and asked at the same time.

Xian Nuan felt something tugging on her heart when she heard Lu Jin Sheng's words, but she didn't know what it was. She only knew that she felt cold despite the warm blood that was rushing in her body.

"As friends of Bing Bing, we believe that she was not given the right environment to grow up properly. Although she is already eighteen years old and you and Mr. Luo do not have any legal rights as parents to control her anymore, we still believe that we should talk to you about this matter. Despite the lack of attention that you guys have been giving her, it doesn't change the fact that you are still her mother, and Mr. Luo is still her father. And, that's why we are here."

"I believe you two do not have any rights to be meddling with others' family matters," Fan Hui said as he looked at Lu Jin Sheng and Bai Lang Yi.

Lu Jin Sheng nodded, "Yes, we do not have the right to meddle with others' family matters. And, we did not come here to meddle with your family matters. We want the best for Bing Bing, and we are not making any decision for her. Mr. Fan, I am pretty sure you are well aware of the kind of environment that Bing Bing lives in. Although Mr. Luo and Mdm Xian gave Bing Bing a comfortable environment to grow up in, they didn't show her the love that she deserves. We came here today in peace because we do not wish for this matter to blow up. You should be very clear that if this matter blows up, Mdm Xian would be in the center of the storm because of her lack of responsibility as a mother. Bing Bing, on the other hand, would be pitied by the public. However, she does not need sympathy from anyone. All that she needs right now is a chance to live a new life. A better life. That's what she wants right now as well, and that's the reason why we came here today to discuss with you two. We would like to know if you two would be able to provide her with the right environment. If not, we would give her the environment that she needs. We are not going to force her to make any decision. We want to give her what she truly needs and wants. We are also not forcing you two to give her what she wants. We just want to see if you two would be willing to give her the love that she deserves if you two were given a chance to make a choice."

"Then, why didn't you get Mr. Luo to come over today?" Fan Hui's eyebrows scrunched up as he asked.

"I believe that the one person that we would all deem unfit to be a parent would be Mr. Luo. Of course, I have no right to say that because only Bing Bing has the right since she is Mr. Luo's daughter. However, if we think of this as though we are in a lawsuit, then Mr. Luo would definitely not be a fitting parent because of his behavior and personal life," Lu Jin Sheng gave a crooked smile as he looked at Fan Hui.

Fan Hui and Xian Nuan laughed when they heard Lu Jin Sheng's words.

"Then, why me? I thought I would be the most unfitting parent since I seldom return home."

Bai Lang Yi scoffed when he heard Xian Nuan's words, and his face turned serious again.

"I am glad that you know that you are not a good parent. However, do you even know why Bing Bing did all those things? She did all those things to get you and your husband's attention!"

Lu Jin Sheng held Bai Lang Yi's arm immediately to get him to cool down because he didn't want him to act irrationally.

Meanwhile, Xian Nuan was slightly shocked by Bai Lang Yi's words.

Lu Jin Sheng then continued, "According to what we know, Mdm Xian grew up with your father. Your father was the one taking care of you and your mother, just like you, spent all her time on work. So, we thought that you don't know how to show your motherly love, or you don't know that you need to love your daughter at all. That's why we wouldn't say that it is exactly your fault for not knowing or showing your love for your daughter even though your actions resulted in the troublemaker Bing Bing that we know. The kind of environment that we grow up in affects how we think and act. Just like the kind of people that we meet also affect us."

Lu Jin Sheng glanced at Fan Hui then back at Xian Nuan as he said the last sentence.
