Qiu Zimin was already in tears upon hearing this.
“Mom really loves you all and has always wanted you to come back,” Liang Xinran said. “The doctor said that Mom’s illness is all psychological, because she misses you so much that she is like this.”
As Liang Xinran spoke, she took a step back, cried, and bowed to the two men. "I'm sorry, eldest brother and second brother. Please move back. I know you don't want to see me, and I know that someone of my status and education is not worthy of this place. I never imagined my home would be so luxurious. I've only ever seen such a world on TV. I'm so terrified. Every day I'm afraid this is just a dream, a dream given to me only because I miss my family so much. It's so beautiful that I don't want to wake up."
"But now..." she paused, raising the back of her hand to wipe away her tears, "it's time for my dream to end."
Liang Xinran looked at Qiu Zimin and said, "Mom, thank you so much for coming all this way to find me. I'm an adult now and I can take care of myself. You should also take good care of yourself, my older brothers, and Wanwan. You are the real family. I'm just an outsider who has strayed into this world. Now I'm going back to my own world."
She said this with tears in her eyes, full of reluctance.
Qiu Zimin felt both heartbroken and nervous at what she heard, "What...what are you going to do?"
Liang Xinran smiled and said, "Mom, I will come back to see you in the future. Don't worry too much about me. You should take good care of yourself and don't get angry anymore. It's really not worth ruining your health if you get angry."
Qiu Zimin grew increasingly frightened, "Xinran... what... what are you doing?"
“I’ll rent a place outside,” Liang Xinran said. “Now that I’m in a big city, I can support myself. Although my previous agency is gone, I can still do other things. I’m a grown man, I won’t starve.”
Liang Xinran smiled and said, "I made up my mind about this last night, but I didn't dare to tell you because you weren't feeling well. I plan to move out. You should stay with my older brothers and Wanwan. I really don't fit into this family, but I'm so grateful for your care these past few days. I've finally experienced what motherly love feels like. Thank you so much."
She spoke with such optimism and strength that it was hard to say anything more to her.
After saying that, before Qiu Zimin could react, she turned around and went back to her room to get her luggage. However, Qiu Zimin immediately called the maids to stop her from doing so.
Qiu Zimin was so angry that she collapsed on the sofa, panting heavily, her bloodshot eyes looking terrifying.
No matter how calm Liang Xinzhou was, he could no longer say anything at this moment.
The house fell silent for a while.
When Liang Shi arrived, it was right after they had just finished arguing. At that moment, Liang Xinran was still in the room with her luggage, unable to leave because she was being held back by the maid.
After Liang Shi came in, Qiu Zimin finally found an outlet for her anger. Not content with smashing one cushion, she grabbed another and threw it at him, yelling, "Liang Shi, do you want to see my family destroyed before you're satisfied?! Our family is already falling apart because of you! You really know how to bewitch people, just like that..."
He suddenly stopped speaking at this point.
Liang Shi suddenly became alert and immediately asked, "Who's my mother?"
Upon hearing this, Qiu Zimin reacted like a mouse whose tail had been stepped on, completely losing her composure.
Gu Di exclaimed, "You have no mother?! Your mother abandoned you a long time ago! How many times do I have to tell you, I picked you up from next to a trash can! I shouldn't have raised you in the first place, I should have strangled you!"
She was acting like a madwoman at that moment, but Liang Shi remained silent, pursing his lips.
He had an expression that said he didn't want to argue with a madman.
Before Qiu Zimin could recover, Liang Xinran came out of the room with her suitcase and said to Liang Xinzhou and Liang Xinhe, "Big brother, second brother, you must take good care of Mom."
Liang Shi: "?"
Having not experienced the previous argument, Liang Shi was completely bewildered. What had happened?
Chapter 115
Liang Xinran definitely didn't leave.
Because Qiu Zimin fainted again.
Liang Xinzhou immediately carried Qiu Zimin back to her room upstairs and asked Liang Xinhe to call the family doctor.
This whole hour-long ordeal was nothing short of a farce.
Liang Shi stopped caring and left the mess to Liang Xinzhou to clean up, with no intention of getting involved in the mess again.
After saying goodbye to Liang Xinhe, she went outside to get into her car.
The two children in the car were eagerly waiting for her to return. Although cartoons were playing on the tablet, neither of them was paying attention to them.
When Liang Shi returned, Lingdang asked anxiously, "Auntie, how is it?"
Liang Shi patted her head. "It's nothing. Why don't you listen to adults?"
"Because adults lie," Bell pouted. "You clearly have something going on, but you won't tell me."
Liang Shi hugged her tightly. "Your father is inside too. Do you want to go home with him or with me later?"
"I have to go to school tomorrow," Lingdang sighed. "I think I'll stay with Dad."
Liang Shi kissed her puffed-out cheeks. "You're so good, aren't you?"
Bell nodded, "Definitely!"
His words were laced with smugness.
Liang Shi chatted with her for a while, and soon she brought up Shen Yiran from the kindergarten again.
Speaking of Shen Yiran, she wanted to pick a fight with Rainbow.
Rainbow, who was peacefully watching cartoons, looked confused. "What?"
Lingdang hummed softly, "Don't try to take Shen Yiran from me."
Rainbow: "...Why do you think I should like her?"
Lingdang's eyes widened immediately. "You don't like Shen Yiran?"
Rainbow: "...?"
Liang Shi found it amusing, and all the unpleasantness from the old house just now vanished instantly.
Two children were arguing in the back, so Liang Shi put on some music and took out his phone to play.
With no new messages, she opened Weibo. Her Weibo account was gaining followers every day, thanks to the traffic brought by the "Yu Guang" drama crew and Zhao Ying, as well as her previous set of photos in a red dress that went viral.
Seeing the date of her post and the comments under that Weibo post, Liang Shicai vaguely remembered that he should be back to work.
But she's not usually a selfie enthusiast, so she doesn't have any old photos on her phone to post on Weibo.
So I reluctantly turned on the front-facing camera on my phone.
It turns out that a pretty face can withstand the scrutiny of a phone's front-facing camera.
Because of her high sensitivity to the camera, she can almost always find her best angle when taking photos, and all she needs to do afterward is add a filter.
Without Sister Wang's urging and guidance, she can run a very successful business on her own.
The whole process, from taking the photo to editing it, only took a few minutes, so I posted it on Weibo.
@Liang Shi: I'll be joining the production soon~ I'm quite looking forward to it. What about you guys?
A typical interactive entity.
Talk about your current situation, and then ask about your fans.
It's said that this helps cultivate a fanbase.
Liang Shi is not a fan of cultivating a following, because she cannot bear the consequences of such backlash.
However, a star's fan base can reflect their commercial value. When clients choose a star to endorse their products and promote their goods, they need to consider the star's commercial capabilities.
Liang Shi was a great actor, but he also needed to eat.
The money earned from simply filming might just be enough to support one's own staff, so it's necessary to explore other avenues.
Back then, Sister Wang poked her head and said, "You're stupid for not making money? It's just posting a few Weibo posts, it's not shameful to eat. Besides, what's wrong with that? They like you, you have such a good-looking face, what's wrong with posting a few pictures for everyone to see? Can't you have a little spirit of entertaining the public?"
Liang Shi: "..."
Liang Shi was persuaded.
As it turns out, there were still people who indulged this behavior in the past.
When she's feeling lazy, the captions for her Weibo posts are written by Xiaobai. After a long day of filming, she's so tired that her mind is blank and she can't think of anything positive or uplifting. She feels completely depressed and just wants to sleep. The photos she takes only look pretty because she has a pretty face.
Moreover, Xiaobai was in charge of taking photos of her, using an upward angle to make her look beautiful from every angle.
It's like going to the red carpet and competing with other female celebrities for attention.
And now: "..."
She did everything herself; she was a one-woman team.
Liang Shi is not considering team matters for the time being. She is in a good state of leisure right now. She goes to film when there are roles to play, and rests when there are no roles to play.
I can handle everything on my own; that's freedom.
However, because Liang Shi was so active in her business dealings in the past, when her rivals criticized her, they would accuse her of pandering to fans.
This disgusted Liang Shi.
At that time, she felt that people with dirty hearts see everything as dirty.
But because of what the other person said, she posted several Weibo posts every day for three consecutive days, sharing all kinds of selfies and daily life.
That was one of the few acts of rebellion she committed in her career.
Later, Sister Wang ended it because she said that posting too much on Weibo would dilute the traffic and reduce its commercial value.
Liang Shi: "..."
I've learned something new.
She posted on Weibo and soon received comments, but not many.
They came in twos and threes, but they mostly offered praise.
[Wow, what a beautiful lady! I want to stick my finger to her!]
[Is my wife joining a new production? I'm so excited!]
[Looking forward to "Yu Guang"! May "Yu Guang" be a bestseller!]
...
Some IDs even have Zhao Ying's name on them, which is obviously to give Zhao Ying face.
Most of them are just admiring her looks.
Liang Shi looked at it for a while and then turned off his phone.
