After Transmigrating as the Vicious Female Supporting Character, I Ran Away While Pregnant - Chapter 13
The person who had arrived was precisely Li Sheng. She had just brought Ranran home when Ranran cried and said that Nona was missing. After thinking carefully for a while, Ranran said she had left it at Mo Yueshuang’s house.
It just so happened that Guan Tai had come over to play, so Li Sheng asked him to look after Ranran for a while while she drove over to get the pendant. In the end, she had not expected to see this scene in the parking lot.
Li Sheng was not the type to meddle in other people’s business. After experiencing so much in the apocalypse, her blood had long since gone cold. Even if a scene of humans eating humans happened in front of her, she would remain unmoved. That was until Li Sheng glanced at Mo Yueshuang’s license plate and recognized that it was Mo Yueshuang’s car.
She thought that the unlucky person inside the car must definitely be Mo Yueshuang.
“I don’t want to meddle in other people’s business, but you’re bullying my friend.”
Li Sheng walked up to Mo Haogui and looked him in the eye. Mo Haogui weighed the stone in his hand, then suddenly took two quick steps forward and stretched out one hand, wanting to grab Li Sheng by the collar and properly teach her how to behave.
But the moment his hand reached over, his wrist was suddenly seized. Then, before he understood what was happening, Li Sheng punched him twice, just enough to leave both his eyes bruised blue and purple.
Li Sheng twisted his arm, turned his entire body around so his back faced her, and took the opportunity to press Mo Haogui against the car window.
Right below his nose and above his lips happened to be the mouthful of phlegm he had spat earlier.
This time, Mo Haogui was pressed against the car window in an even more twisted and hideous state. Mo Yueshuang, however, no longer felt afraid. Instead, a faint trace of amusement appeared.
Mo Haogui could no longer care about that mouthful of phlegm. He cried and begged for mercy. Li Sheng felt that his ghostly howling was disturbing to the ears, so she loosened her grip and let him go.
Mo Haogui turned around and moved backward step by step while sticking close to the car. Only when he was several steps away from Li Sheng did he quickly turn around and run.
Li Sheng tilted her head and looked at Mo Yueshuang inside the car. Mo Yueshuang’s ear tips were red, and she pressed her lips together without saying a word, until Li Sheng spoke.
“He’s gone. You can come out now.”
Mo Yueshuang opened the car door and got out. Perhaps because she had just been overly frightened, the moment she got out of the car, her legs went weak and her body became unsteady, causing her to fall toward Li Sheng.
Li Sheng naturally supported her, her brows furrowing slightly. Only after Mo Yueshuang steadied herself did she ask calmly, “Are you all right?”
“I’m fine. Thank you.” Mo Yueshuang felt very downcast. Her gaze drifted into the distance, not daring to look directly at Li Sheng.
Ever since she entered the entertainment industry nine years ago, in front of outsiders, she had always been a glamorous big star, a dignified and elegant actress under the spotlight. She could no longer remember how long it had been since she had been this wretched.
Yet this moment of such wretchedness had been seen by the person before her.
Mo Yueshuang wallowed in her sorrow for a while. When she raised her head again, however, she discovered that Li Sheng’s emotions had not changed at all. She was only standing beside her, quietly waiting for her to calm herself down.
Li Sheng’s attitude instead made Mo Yueshuang feel even more stifled in her heart. Li Sheng was too cold. She did not care about anything at all. And yet, at some unknown point, Mo Yueshuang had begun to care a little about this block of ice.
“Why did you suddenly come back?”
Mo Yueshuang guessed that Li Sheng had come because of Ranran’s pendant.
“When Ranran got home, she realized the pendant had been left at your house. She likes that pendant very much. Every night before going to sleep, she even talks to the little figure. I wanted to find the necklace pendant today.”
Mo Yueshuang took Ranran’s pendant out of her bag. “After you left, I found it in the study. I thought Ranran liked this pendant very much, and if she discovered it was missing, she would definitely be very sad. So I wanted to send it to Ranran while it was still early.”
Mo Yueshuang had already taken it out, but Li Sheng did not take it. She reached out and held Mo Yueshuang’s wrist, leading her away while saying, “Since you were planning to send it to Ranran, then let’s go.”
Only after Mo Yueshuang sat in Li Sheng’s car and fastened her seat belt did she come back to herself in a daze.
Mo Yueshuang could not understand why Li Sheng wanted to take her away. It was only after the car drove out of the residential compound and she saw Mo Haogui sneakily hiding beside a car parked by the roadside that Mo Yueshuang finally understood the reason.
Mo Yueshuang gripped the seat belt and said to Li Sheng in a soft, delicate voice, “Thank you.”
Li Sheng remained silent as usual and did not respond to her thanks. Only when she had driven the car into her own residential compound and parked it properly, when the two of them were about to get out of the car, did Li Sheng suddenly say without warning, “Change where you live as soon as possible.”
“Mm? Ah, yes. I still have more than half a year left on my contract with the company. During this period, I signed an agreement, so I can’t move casually. It’ll be fine once the contract expires.”
Mo Yueshuang had installed many surveillance and alarm devices in her home. She had even arranged quite a few at the door. In the past, with the company protecting her, she could feel a little more at ease. Now that she had lost the company’s protection, she had already entrusted Chen Yue to help choose a few reliable bodyguards.
Da Yi still did quite well on the surface. At least many people believed Da Yi was still a qualified old employer. But in private, it was already a rare act of kindness if Da Yi did not step on her.
Mo Yueshuang followed behind Li Sheng. She looked around at this luxurious, high-end residential compound and felt that this place was also quite nice. Moreover, it was relatively close to the film city. When she changed houses next year, she could consider this place.
When they reached the door of Li Sheng’s home, Mo Yueshuang suddenly felt a little nervous. It was the nervousness of visiting a friend’s home for the first time. But that nervousness only lasted until the door opened.
The person who opened the door was not Li Sheng, who had been about to enter the password, but Guan Tai, who was holding Ranran’s hand.
When Guan Tai saw Li Sheng and Mo Yueshuang standing at the door, his entire body suddenly tensed up nervously. He sighed inwardly that Li Sheng truly lived up to being Li Sheng. In just a few short days after returning to the country, she had already become acquainted with the great film empress Mo Yueshuang, and now the two of them were already close enough to visit each other’s homes.
Then, thinking about himself, he had been back working for many years, yet he was still only a staff member in a production crew. Forget knowing any big stars— even third-tier actors were unwilling to let him be their assistant.
Fortunately, he was not struggling for money. Otherwise, it would be hard to guarantee that he would not become so jealous that he would cut ties with Li Sheng.
Mo Yueshuang, however, froze the moment she saw Guan Tai. Previously, she had already guessed that this man might be Li Ran’s father. It was only that at the time, she had subconsciously felt that their auras were far too different, so it should not be possible. Now that she saw this man inside Li Sheng’s home, and saw how close his relationship with Ranran was, the little sense of denial Mo Yueshuang had also disappeared.
“Hello! Mo, Mo Yueshuang. I’m your fan! I’ve been your fan for several years. It’s just that although I also work in the entertainment industry, I’ve never had the chance to see you from such a close distance.”
Guan Tai was so nervous and excited that his words were no longer smooth.
“H-h-hello! My name is Guan Tai. Guan as in ‘guan guan ju jiu,’ and Tai as in ‘Mount Tai pressing down yet not bending at the waist.’”
“Mr. Guan, hello. Sorry to disturb you by coming over today.”
“No, no, no, you’re not disturbing us. Just call me Guan Tai.”
Guan Tai freed himself from Ranran’s hand and wiped his own hand on his clothes, wanting to shake hands with Mo Yueshuang. But just as he finished wiping his hand, Little Ranran, now free from restraint, shot into Mo Yueshuang’s arms like an arrow released from the string.
“Auntie Mo! Did you come to see Ranran? Is Auntie Mo coming to Ranran’s house as a guest? Can Auntie Mo stay for dinner? Mommy’s dinner is really delicious.”
Mo Yueshuang hugged Li Ran. Listening to the little one softly and sweetly say words asking her to stay, Mo Yueshuang’s entire heart softened because of it.
Li Sheng stood behind Mo Yueshuang. Seeing that both her friend’s and her daughter’s attention were on Mo Yueshuang, she seemed extremely lonely all by herself.
