After settling things with Manager Fang, Rong Yue and Lu San went home.
Lu San was currently staying in the same building even if it was a different apartment, so it made it convenient to help for him to help Rong Yue.
"Madam Rong Xia usually comes back late in the evening. You still have about an hour until she comes back home," Lu San informed her as he parked in the underground garage.
"Thank you, Lu San."
Even though he was under instructions to help her, he did it so sincerely, even though he was way older than her.
She sent Qin Yichen a message before taking a quick shower.
Since she wanted to surprise her mom, she wore her pyjamas and snuggled in a corner of the dark living room.
Her phone was also reduced to the lowest level of brightness.
Just like Lu San said, after about twenty minutes, Rong Yue heard the sound of the lock being entered into the car.
Very quickly, she turned off her phone and stayed still, preparing to jump up once her mom was fully in the house.
The door opened and Rong Yue waited in bated breaths. Even after some seconds, the light didn't come on making Rong Yue worry.
She was about to stand up, however, her mother's familiar voice rang out.
"Sun, have you done the search on him? If I don't have any hold over him, he might spill matters to Xiao Yue,"
"His security is one of the toughest in the country and he's also hard to follow. If there's any way to know anything, it has to be through your daughter."
Rong Yue's brows furrowed while her heart was filled with a sinking feeling.
What was her mom talking about?
"No, I can't use Yue'er. In the end, he is still someone that my daughter likes and can be said to be on our side." How deeply she disagreed with the idea was obvious in her tone and the other party kept quiet for a while.
As soon as the light came on, Rong Xia shrieked and pushed back till her back hit a wall at the sight of her daughter.
What should have originally been a pleasant surprise quickly became a nightmare as she looked at Rong Yue with worry and fear in her eyes.
"Xiao Yue? What are you doing here?"
As she asked, Rong Xia tried to regain control over her emotions. Also, with her intelligence, she could clearly see that whatever had happened, her daughter had heard the conversation clearly.
"I came home to give you a surprise," Rong Yue said through gritted teeth.
"It's no wonder that you have become a little better with how stronger I was growing..."
"I had initially thought that you being able to manage Lyfe was heaven's blessings...
A compensation for how unfair things had been for us.." Rong Yue paused as she took in a deep breath.
Despite how much pain she was feeling now, a little bit of what she had heard also rang back in her mind.
Her mother was running from something. And because of that, she had decided to act like an idiot for the last seventeen years.
"Even if you wanted to deceive the whole world, you didn't have to deceive me."
Tears streamed down her face as she said that and Rong Yue's body fell to the ground, unable to hold her up anymore.
On seeing that, Rong Xia rushed forward and quickly helped her sit up.
Her medical skills had always been unique and she used her hands to check the pulse of her daughter.
It was only after she confirmed the Rong Yue was fine that she sighed in relief.
However, her eyes didn't look any better.
"Xiao Yue. If I didn't deceive you, how could I have fooled the world?"
