Chapter 1430: Would it be too much of a trouble?
So… both mother and daughter had done the same thing.
Su Manman didn’t know whether to laugh or cry…
The mix of emotions in her heart was indescribable.
Indeed, their personalities… were too similar.
After calming down, Su Manman looked at Ye Qinghan and spoke slowly…
“Sister Mingzhu told me she used to pick up her phone to call you but didn’t have the courage to. She always went over to your house and saw you in the greenhouse. Her heart ached because she missed you, but she couldn’t muster the courage to press the doorbell!”
Su Manman raised her teacup to take a sip to calm herself down. She said, “There were even a few times when she saw Auntie go out to throw the garbage. She wanted to get out of the car, but she was afraid that you would chase her away…”
Ye Qinghan gripped the tissue tightly and stared at Su Manman with wide eyes.
“Auntie… the two of you have similar personalities,” Su Manman said.
Ye Qinghan’s throat rolled a few times. This time, she didn’t suppress it. Without any warning, she cried out loud in front of Su Manman.
She covered her mouth and shook her head…
She didn’t know if she regretted it or felt that her daughter was silly.
After a long while, Ye Qinghan calmed down and wiped her tears with a tissue. She then asked, “Did Mingzhu tell you all this? That the two of us… ended up not contacting each other because she wanted to enter the entertainment industry?”
Su Manman nodded. “Sister Mingzhu said it was because of her father, Jiang Yis.h.i.+, the G.o.dfather of the music industry! He pa.s.sed away from a drug overdose, and all the people around him are also known to be recreational drug users. As far as you know… there aren’t many people from the entertainment industry who are not involved with drugs. Therefore, you felt negatively about the entertainment industry and didn’t allow Sister Mingzhu to enter it.”
Ye Qinghan licked her dry lips and nodded, but the tears in her eyes couldn’t stop. “If I had known… I wouldn’t… I wouldn’t have…”
“Actually…” Su Manman looked at the sobbing Ye Qinghan and said, “You were just trying to protect her! But she also wanted you to see that not everyone in the entertainment industry is like that!”
Ye Qinghan’s gaze toward Su Manman became increasingly gentle. “She actually told you about this. She didn’t even tell s.h.i.+ Hanchu…”
Su Manman smiled and continued, “Sister Mingzhu also said that the other reason she wanted to enter the entertainment industry was that… she wanted those ugly mortals to admire her unparalleled beauty.”
Hearing this, Ye Qinghan couldn’t help but laugh. She let out a long exhale and wiped her tears with a tissue.
There was finally a hint of a smile in her eyes.
“Now…” Ye Qinghan looked at Su Manman. “I believe you must have been in touch with Mingzhu frequently!”
Seeing a smile appear on Ye Qinghan’s face, Su Manman smiled…
“Say, before Mingzhu died, she told me to be careful of Du Lingyang?” Only then did Ye Qinghan begin to ask Su Manman about serious matters.
Su Manman nodded.
“Why?” Ye Qinghan asked.
Afraid that it would bring any danger to Ye Qinghan, Su Manman shook her head. “I don’t know. But since that was what Sister Mingzhu said before she died, I feel that you should be wary of Du Lingyang and his girlfriend, Meng Yuqiao. I can confidently tell Auntie that Sister Mingzhu had never mentioned to me about Meng Yuqiao being her friend!”
Ye Qinghan’s brows furrowed, as if she was deep in thought.
“If you feel lonely or have feelings for Meng Yuqiao, you can go shopping and eat with her outside. But… don’t bring her home. It’s too dangerous!” Su Manman looked at Ye Qinghan seriously.
If her mother were fond of Meng Yuqiao, it would be too cruel for her to tell Ye Qinghan not to interact with Meng Yuqiao anymore…
She didn’t wish for her mother to be too emotionally hurt.
Su Manman could even show mercy to Meng Yuqiao if it were for her mother’s sake.
Ye Qinghan had a feeling that Su Manman knew something but didn’t intend to tell her.
Ye Qinghan didn’t ask further…
She was a smart person. Even if she asked, Su Manman might not necessarily say anything.
But… what about Meng Yuqiao?
Should she believe Meng Yuqiao, who had always been by her side?
Or… should she believe Su Manman, who brought Jiang Mingzhu’s last words to her and had a deep understanding of Jiang Mingzhu?
Perhaps having seen through Ye Qinghan’s doubts, Su Manman said to Ye Qinghan, “Auntie, you don’t have to believe me. I’m not telling you to cut off all ties with Meng Yuqiao. Just… don’t bring her home! There are a lot of people around outside, and it’s more lively… There’s no need to be afraid that she and Du Lingyang might do something bad to you. But home is different! Especially when both you and Auntie Hu trust her so much. Do you think… I’m right?”
With that, Jiang Manman felt that she couldn’t stay any longer, afraid that she wouldn’t be able to control her emotions…
She said, “Auntie, I still have to go back and study the script. I’m afraid I won’t be able to accompany you longer. If you have anything else that you want to ask me…”
Su Manman took out a pen from her bag and wrote down her name and number on a paper before handing it to Ye Qinghan. “You can reach me in this number…”
“Would it be too much of a trouble?” Ye Qinghan really wanted to know her daughter’s past.
However, judging from Su Manman’s expression, the young lady must be super busy.
“No, I’m a straightforward person. If you call me while I’m in the middle of something, I’ll tell you and call you back when I’m not so busy!” Su Manman said, smiling.
Ye Qinghan nodded, took the note, and thanked Su Manman. “Thank you, Miss Su…”
Su Manman picked up her bag. “You’re welcome, Auntie. Then… I’ll excuse myself first!”
On the ride back from the Venus beauty salon, Su Manman propped her chin with one hand and looked out the window. She didn’t seem to be in a high spirit.
Dong Dong was full of questions, but she didn’t dare to ask anything…
She really wanted to know how Su Manman got to know the Best Actress Jiang Mingzhu!
Moreover, she had even told Jiang Mingzhu’s mother to be careful of Jiang Mingzhu’s ex-boyfriend.
She remembered Su Manman had previously told Yang Weiyi that she had no way to interact with Jiang Mingzhu.
Dong Dong felt the same…
Dong Dong refused to believe that Su Manman was speaking nonsense!
After staying by Su Manman’s side for a while, she had some understanding of her. Although Su Manman might seem unreliable at times, she definitely wouldn’t say something without reason.
Furthermore, she was kind-hearted!
Based on what she knew about Su Manman, Dong Dong felt that Jiang Mingzhu’s ex-boyfriend and Meng Yuqiao definitely weren’t good people.
For some reason, Dong Dong started joining Su Manman in a united front against the enemy.
