After Transmigrating as the Vicious Female Supporting Character, I Ran Away While Pregnant - Chapter 3

Early the next morning, as soon as Li Ran woke up, she stretched her little arm out from under the blanket, opened the tablet, and searched the three words “Mo Yueshuang.”

Last night, she had a sweet dream. In the dream, there was a woman holding her, taking her to an amusement park, taking her to eat delicious food, and even taking her to a place she had always wanted to go, but Li Sheng had never agreed to—the thrilling haunted house.

Little Ranran had not clearly seen who that person was in the dream, but after waking up, she relied on her feelings and decided that it was Mo Yueshuang, who looked extremely similar to her.

But last night’s livestream had not been pleasant. Starting from last night, the internet had been filled with gossip about Mo Yueshuang acting like a big shot on the program and bullying the newcomer from the same company, Xie Shixian.

— “Fuck!!! Cursing in eighteen foreign languages, why is Mo Yueshuang becoming more and more disgusting now? Back then, she debuted with the pure goddess persona, but over the years, her path has become more and more crooked. Our Shixian is only eighteen years old, the same age as when she debuted back then. How could she have the heart to suppress and bully our Shixian? Shixian is so good, much better than that high-and-mighty ‘goddess’ of hers.”

— “Unbelievable. Has Mo Yueshuang gone crazy lately, or has she really started getting arrogant? Acting like a big shot on set, stealing resources from seniors in the same company, and now bullying junior newcomers. Mo Yueshuang has really started getting arrogant. I only want to say one thing: Mo Yueshuang, can you please get out of the entertainment industry?”

— “A bunch of brainless keyboard warriors. Anyone can tell that Mo Yueshuang’s current situation is capital manipulation, squeezing out her remaining value. Mo Yueshuang’s contract is about to expire, and the company wanted to renew with her, but she refused. My friend is an internal employee at Da Yi Entertainment, and she said Da Yi’s higher-ups offered generous renewal benefits, but Mo Yueshuang rejected them all. Mo Yueshuang and the company are now basically in a half-fallen-out state. The company won’t do PR for her, and they’re using the remaining year of her contract to squeeze out her value. If you ask me, the most innocent person here is still Mo Yueshuang.”

— “Bullshit! Da Yi worked so hard to make her popular. Now that she’s famous, she wants to leave. So what if the company doesn’t do PR for her? Isn’t Da Yi still taking acting jobs for her? Isn’t it still helping her negotiate endorsements? Da Yi is the one who’s the most wronged.”

Li Ran could not understand these things, but the foul language online made Little Ranran’s heart ache terribly. When she woke up in the morning, she pouted and almost cried.

Knock, knock, knock. “Ranran, it’s Mommy. May I come in, Princess Ranran?”

A few gentle knocks sounded from outside the door. Li Sheng came from the apocalypse and was especially sensitive to sounds. In particular, when she was inside a closed room, she would feel extremely panicked by sounds coming from outside.

She was afraid Ranran would also feel panicked like her, so every time she knocked on the door, she was especially gentle. At the same time, she would quickly state her identity so that her daughter inside the room could feel at ease.

“Mommy, wait a moment!”

In the past, after she knocked, her daughter would always happily jump down from the bed to open the door. When winter was a little cold, Ranran would also call for her to come in right away. Why did she need her to wait a while today?

“All right, no hurry. We’re only going to the production crew at eight. It’s six-thirty now. We still have plenty of time.”

“Okay, Mommy.”

Ranran rubbed her eyes with her little hands. After rubbing a few times, she remembered that Li Sheng had said she could not rub her eyes with her hands, so she took the handkerchief Li Sheng had prepared for her and dabbed at her little eyes. The tears gathered in her eyes were finally dealt with.

Li Sheng was neither anxious nor annoyed as she patiently waited outside the door. A few minutes later, there was movement from the door handle. Li Sheng looked expectantly as the door opened, and her precious daughter’s tiny body peeked out from the room.

“Mommy, good morning.”

“Good morning, Ranran.”

Li Sheng smiled. Her daughter was so adorable and so warmhearted. It was as if heaven had taken pity on the tragic experiences of her previous life and had specially sent a little angel to warm her.

After breakfast, Li Sheng once again told Li Ran the things she needed to pay attention to after going to the production crew.

“Did you bring your phone? You must wear the positioning necklace properly. You’re not allowed to take it off, understand? When we get to the production crew, you have to be polite. When you see people who are a little older, call them Uncle or Auntie. For people around Mommy’s age, call them Big Brother or Big Sister.”

Li Ran was extremely well-behaved. In truth, Li Sheng did not need to remind her of these things, because she had already figured them out long ago. But in order to let Mommy feel a sense of accomplishment from teaching her child, she obediently nodded and opened her arms toward Li Sheng. After Li Sheng picked her up, Ranran wrapped her little arms around Li Sheng’s fair neck, leaned over, and kissed Li Sheng’s cheek. “Thank you, Mommy, for teaching Ranran new knowledge.”

“You’re welcome!”

Li Sheng indeed felt a little sense of accomplishment. Her mood for the entire day would become better because of the little angel in her arms.

Li Sheng’s driving skills had long since been trained to perfection during her escapes in the apocalypse in her previous life. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she had tried all kinds of vehicles that could move, and she could skillfully control all of them. Especially fast race cars. If the current her were to compete with professional racers, even if she could not win first place, she could still take third.

It was just that there was no need to drive for her life now. Li Sheng drove the car steadily and safely. Occasionally, while waiting at a red light, she would even turn her head and chat a few words with Ranran in the back seat.

“Mommy drives so slowly. When can we get there?”

“When driving, you don’t fight over every minute and second. Safety is the most important thing.”

This time, Li Sheng was answering Li Ran while passing through an intersection. As a result, in that instant of distraction, a luxury car beside them lost control and crashed toward them.

Li Sheng’s subconscious reaction was to crash straight into it, because she was used to driving modified vehicles from the apocalypse. But half a second later, she came back to her senses and immediately turned the steering wheel and stepped on the brakes to avoid the luxury car that was crashing over.

Unfortunately, she was still a step too slow. The other car scraped against hers. Although both she and Ranran were fine, several heavy,惨不忍睹 scratches had been added to the body of her newly bought little car.

Li Sheng pulled the car over and stopped it steadily, then went to the back seat and hugged Ranran, carefully comforting the little one.

In the other car, Chen Yue, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was so angry that she pounded the driver while scolding him. “Are you crazy? Even if we’re in a hurry, you can’t drive like this! Boss is already in a difficult position right now. The entire internet is watching her and waiting to smear her. Great, now there’s one more headline: female star Mo Yueshuang crashes into a car on the street! We’re going to attend Director Wen’s audition. At such a critical moment, you still had to cause trouble! Will you only be satisfied if you anger me to death?”

“All right, Xiao Yue. Hurry and go negotiate a solution with the car owner. Otherwise, if things blow up later, we won’t be able to leave.”

Mo Yueshuang put down the script and weakly raised her hand to rub the space between her brows. Heaven seemed to always deliberately go against her. She had waited for several months before finally begging for an audition opportunity. If an accident happened at the last moment and brought her another black mark, then even if she was chosen in terms of acting and other aspects, she might still be eliminated from this audition.

When Chen Yue came to Li Sheng’s car, she felt extremely uneasy. Her little heart had been beating nonstop the whole way over, afraid that she would meet a difficult car owner who stubbornly insisted on making a big deal out of the matter.

“I’m truly sorry. Our driver’s improper operation caused this accident. We are willing to compensate you.”

“No need. We’re fine. You can leave too.”

Li Sheng always treated outsiders coldly. The apocalypse from her previous life had affected her soul too deeply. It made her feel that some mutated plants and animals had more feelings than humans.

“This…”

Chen Yue had been too brainwashed by the news online. Now that Li Sheng was letting her leave, she suspected that Li Sheng might secretly retaliate later by accusing them of hit-and-run.

Li Sheng truly did not want to get involved in trouble. As long as she and Ranran were both fine, if a car was hit, then it was hit.

Little Ranran had been frequently watching materials and videos related to Mo Yueshuang recently, so she recognized that this was Mo Yueshuang’s assistant, someone who followed Mo Yueshuang every day.

The little one poked her head out from Li Sheng’s arms and looked at the car parked in the distance. She could not see the situation inside and was not sure whether Mo Yueshuang was inside or not.

“If you have something urgent, then leave quickly. I’m also in a hurry to get to work.”

Li Sheng’s tone could not be considered friendly. It even felt somewhat impatient, which made Chen Yue feel even more uneasy.

“This lady, because of our mistake, we hit your car like this and also frightened you and your daughter. We are willing to provide all reasonable compensation, and we will also pay a sum for emotional damages.”

“I said there’s no need. Go.” Li Sheng’s gaze turned cold. She was afraid of trouble, and even more afraid of the trouble an outsider might bring her.

Chen Yue still wanted to continue persuading her, because if this matter was not properly settled, and if it was caught by the media in the future, or if Li Sheng went back on her word and sold the news to the media, her boss would once again face a wave of online violence.

Moreover, in reality, it was indeed their fault. Providing compensation was only right.

Ranran sensed that Li Sheng’s emotions were off. She hugged Li Sheng’s arm and pouted her little mouth. “Scared. Ranran is scared. Don’t want to ride this car.”

Halfway through the trip, Ranran suddenly refused to ride in this car anymore, which made Li Sheng feel somewhat troubled. She understood the matter of psychological shadows. When she was pregnant, she had read quite a lot of parenting guides and childcare manuals. It was said that psychological shadows created in childhood would affect a child for their entire life.

“All right, we won’t ride in this car. Mommy will take you to ride a taxi.”

Li Sheng simply packed up the things in the car, then held Ranran and was about to get out to hail a taxi.

But after Ranran got out of the car, she reached out and pointed at Mo Yueshuang’s car parked nicely in the distance. “Mommy, want to ride that one.”

“That is this big sister’s car. It isn’t a taxi. We can’t ride in it.”

Li Sheng explained to her, but Ranran rarely became willful. Acting like a little child throwing a tantrum, she hugged Li Sheng’s arm and shook it. “Mommy, Ranran is scared. I want to ride that car.”

Li Sheng did not understand a child’s way of thinking, but perhaps because the two cars had collided, Ranran did not dare ride in the car that had been hit and “broken,” but dared to sit in the “winning” car.

Perhaps that was it.

The little one had an expression as if she had been frightened, making Chen Yue stare with her mouth open.

She was not the child’s mother, so she would not care excessively. From a bystander’s perspective, this child was completely a little drama queen.

Then looking at her mother’s cool, distant, icy manner, like a proud goddess of a snow mountain, she really could not understand why her daughter was such a drama queen.

Li Sheng coaxed Ranran for quite a while, but it had no effect. In the end, helpless, she said to Chen Yue, “Please send us to the nearby Pingyang Film City. Then this matter will be written off.”

Chen Yue also understood now. Li Sheng’s personality did not seem like the type to stab someone in the back. In addition, judging by the clothes she wore and the famous-brand custom clothes on the child, Li Sheng was not short of money. She would not go so far as to stir up trouble for the media’s money. As long as they appeased her properly, Li Sheng should not pursue the matter.

“Pingyang Film City?”

Chen Yue asked again. Li Sheng lightly nodded. “It’s very close to here, only a dozen or so minutes away. It shouldn’t delay your matters, right?”

“No, no. It just so happens that we’re going there too.”

Chen Yue had no choice but to lead Li Sheng and the little one back to the car.

Mo Yueshuang was very surprised when she saw that Chen Yue had brought the people over. Chen Yue immediately explained the matter clearly, and Mo Yueshuang apologized to Li Sheng and Li Ran with full sincerity.

The moment Li Sheng saw Mo Yueshuang, her head hurt. She truly had not expected to run straight into the female lead so directly.

It was just that in the novel, the male lead Ji Ruodong had an urgent meeting and needed to rush back to the company, and as a result, his car collided with Mo Yueshuang’s car.

However, the one who crashed was Ji Ruodong’s side, and the one who was hit terribly was the female lead, Mo Yueshuang.

Ji Ruodong very gentlemanly wanted to take Mo Yueshuang to the hospital, but Mo Yueshuang refused in order to seize the rare audition opportunity.

It was not appropriate for a female celebrity to show herself in public and take a taxi, so Ji Ruodong personally sent her to the film city. Afterward, the male and female leads became connected, leading to all kinds of later stories.

Unexpectedly, now it was the female lead who had hit her car, while she had brought her child into the female lead’s car.

Li Sheng handed her car key and contact information to the driver. “Find an auto repair shop and have my car repaired. This is my contact information. Once everything is done, call me, and I’ll go pick up the car.”

The driver looked at Mo Yueshuang. Seeing Mo Yueshuang nod, he then took the car key and left.

Chen Yue planned to drive, but Li Sheng stopped her. “I’ll do it. You people, I don’t trust.”

Chen Yue could not win the driver’s seat from her, so she could only secretly hold in a little resentment and sit in the passenger seat. She seriously and carefully fastened her seat belt, silently adding several lines in her heart: “What are you acting so proud for? We don’t trust you either.”

The car started.

Sitting in the back seat, Li Ran looked closely at Mo Yueshuang.

She looked very carefully and seriously. This big sister looked so, so much like her. She must be what Miranda had said: her mama, separated from her for many years.

“Mama!”
