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.

“You would eventually have to tell her. After all, if they find you, they will want to take her also.”

“They won’t find me…” Rong Xia replied sharply but the tremble in her voice made Rong Yue and the third person in the room know for certain that she wasn’t as confident as her words.

“I still think you should tell her, it’s better if you prepare her mind ahead.”

“I’ll handle my own matters, give me a briefing on everything happening with the camp. Is Yifan acting in line?”

Although she couldn’t see them, Rong Yue heard the soft sound of the chair being pulled out and then heard as that person did a lot of discussion with her mother.

From the conversation, she could clearly pick out that this person was even beneath her mom!

In the corner of the room where Rong Yue was hiding, her body was trembling.

Although the conversation between her mother and that person hadn’t even been up to half an hour, that short time was more than enough to shatter everything that Rong Yue had known in her two lives.

She had after all grown up with a mindset of wanting to work hard to help her mother. She had also been afraid that she would burden her mother and so even when she went through the worst things, she would keep it to herself and handle them alone.

By the time she became a teenager, their roles was reversed and Rong Yue became the mother, handling all the work while Rong Xia was like the daughter.

She had even been worried that her mother was mentally regressing.

But right now, hearing everything, her mind was shocked senseless.

“I would ask them to move to the second phase then. Goodnight boss.” Like that, the other person left leaving the living room empty.

For more than a five minutes, Rong Xia sat still in the darkness, lost in thoughts.

It was only after sometime that she stood up and then walked up to turn on the lights in the living room.

Hearing het steps, Rong Yue also stood up. She clenched her fists, right now, it was easy to see that the Rong Yue that willed herself to be strong because she had so much to protect was gone.

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?”
