Rely on Yourself

Mrs. Pan shook her head and said, “I’m your mother; how could I look down on you? I just don’t want you to be like your father, only thinking about sucking up to others. You have to straighten your attitude and rely on your own hard work to win everything you want.”

She paused for a moment and continued, “You’ve been doing quite well in the entertainment industry these past few years. Work hard on your acting and you’ll definitely gain something in the future. Remember what I said; your looks will eventually age, but your acting skills will always be there.”

Pan Yueyue was annoyed, but she knew that her mother was right.

She nodded and replied, “Mom, I know what you’re saying. I’ll take care of myself. By the way, did you just say that something happened at the hospital? Do you know what it is? Will it affect Dad?”

Mrs. Pan was a little frustrated. Her daughter’s sudden change of topic meant that she was very annoyed.

She could only follow along. She said, “I don’t understand, either. It seems that he has a second operation. It shouldn’t affect him, right?”

Pan Yueyue sighed in relief. “That’s good, then. If anything happens to him at work, I’ll be in trouble too.”

Mrs. Pan was stunned. “Don’t worry, Yueyue,” she said seriously. “Mom will protect you.”

Pan Yueyue’s eyes were filled with tears, guilt, and fear.

“Mom, I didn’t expect things to turn out like this,” she said. “Will Dad really be okay?”

“The Li family and the Pan family have cut off all ties,” Mrs. Pan said. “It has nothing to do with you, and your father’s work has nothing to do with you either. Do you understand?”

Pan Yueyue nodded.

***

In a private hospital’s high-class ward.

Zhang Huanhuan was eating the fruits that Mr. Zhang had cut himself.

She was very pleased with herself. Although she was injured, she had won this time. Mrs. Zhang and her daughter must be very angry now.

“Sir, you should have some too. This melon is very sweet,” she said with a smile.

She deliberately used the word ‘Sir’ to provoke Mr. Zhang.

Mr. Zhang felt guilty when he heard her call him ‘Sir’ with a smile.

“Silly child, I’ve said it many times; there’s no one else here, so just call me

Dad! Why aren’t you listening to Dad anymore?”

Zhang Huanhuan immediately stopped smiling, her eyes dimming.

“Dad, I’m afraid that I’ll get used to calling you that.” she sighed and said, “I’m worried I won’t be able to change it in the future. If I accidentally call you that on an important occasion or in front of an important person, won’t it harm you and the Zhang family? I don’t want to make things difficult for you, nor do I want to embarrass the Zhangs because of a slip of the tongue.”

When Mr. Zhang heard this, his heart ached even more.

“Harm on the Zhang family?” he said firmly. “You are my daughter. There’s nothing wrong with calling me Dad!!”

“Will the old madam agree?” Zhang Huanhuan asked carefully. “My identity is really sensitive. Moreover, she’s already so old. I don’t want to make her unhappy.”

Mr. Zhang was stunned for a moment before he replied, “Huanhuan, don’t worry. Your grandmother will not object this time. However, we can’t be too ostentatious. After all, your uncle is still in his rising period. Therefore, we can’t make any mistakes. Otherwise, we won’t have a good ending.”

Albeit a little dissatisfied, she nodded obediently on the surface.

She said, “Alright, listen to Dad. You can’t affect Uncle’s future because of me. However, will Auntie…? After all, my existence is very difficult for her to accept.”

At the mention of Mrs. Zhang, Mr. Zhang was a little angry.

He snorted coldly and said, “Hmph, if it weren’t for your grandmother’s pleading, I would’ve divorced her long ago. This time, if she still dares to cause trouble, I’ll make her scram back to her mother’s house. She can be so cruel to a child; she’s completely vicious!”

Zhang Huanhuan was extremely happy in her heart, but she had a worried expression on her face.

“Dad, don’t say that,” she said. “Auntie isn’t bad. After all, no woman is willing to share her husband with another woman.”

“That vicious woman treated you like this, yet you still want to speak up for her?” Mr. Zhang said.

“Dad, Mom has left,” said Zhang Huanhuan. “I’m also very lonely. I don’t need Auntie to accept me, but I want to be by your side. Even if it’s just as a maid, I’m willing.”

When Mr. Zhang heard this, he felt even more guilty.

He replied, “It’s all my fault for not taking good care of you. I’ve already transferred a villa under your name. After you’re discharged, if you don’t want to see them, you can live by yourself. I’ll arrange for someone to take care of you.”

Zhang Huanhuan wouldn’t move out on her own. If she chose to live alone, wouldn’t she be like her biological mother and be raised outside?

If she wanted to stay outside, she wouldn’t have to go through so much trouble to return to the Zhangs..
