Chapter 7 – A Little Favor (4)

But upon that tiniest slip of her emotion, a poignant expression appeared on Fang Xie’s face and he blurted out, “Miss Su, don’t you know? Your mother…she passed away…”

In an instant, Su Jishi’s brain went blank, “What did you say?”

Gulping nervously, Fang Xie pointed to the retirement letter and carefully chose the most cautious words.

“Three years ago, Su Jin only entered the entertainment circle to raise money for her mother’s treatment. In order to make money, she has been especially cooperating with all the jobs given to her by the company…but things like cancer are hard to stop…”

Su Jishi unconsciously leaned on the wall to the corner, suddenly feeling pain strangely pouring out from the depths of her heart.

Since she was young, she had separated from her mother and sister, and she always thought that she didn’t hold much affection for them.

However, when she heard the news of her mother’s death, a kind of inexplicable pain that was difficult to control, rose from the hidden corners of her heart; deep in her flesh and blood, it felt like there was a bomb of emotions that exploded within her.

At that moment, she burst out crying and all her inner defenses were immediately torn down. The tears slipped down her cheeks as her mind was in a meltdown. She heard herself ask, “When did my mother die?”

“…Two months ago.”

“That’s when my sister wanted to leave the entertainment circle?”

“…Yes.”

With her eyes half-closed, she forcefully spoke with unyielding voice, “… Thank you for telling me about it. However, Jinqing didn’t even tell me the big news of my mother’s illness and death. Can you understand now that there is really no connection between us? I can’t clean up her mess.”

Seeing that she was so firm of her decision even is she was in a state of mourning, Fang Xie saw that he had no choice but to accept it.

He, along with the big man left the room in silence…

If the sisterhood was truly deep, Su Jinqing for the sake of her sister’s reputation as a celebrity would have no qualms on replacing her. But Su Jishi had a strong personality and could not cooperate with their plans at all. Moreover, the sisters were distant.

Fang Xie would never have done this if he was not so desperate.
