His mother had been with his father early on, but his father later abandoned her and got together with another wealthy woman, who was Xue Chenyan’s mother. At the time, his mother was already pregnant with him, and was almost miscarried due to harm, which made her extremely neurotic. After his birth, she kept him at home, afraid someone would harm him again. After giving birth to him, his mother left his father. To raise him well, she worked multiple jobs. When he didn’t want to go to school, his mother found someone to teach him at home. His mother had always been independent and brave, definitely not a fox spirit or trash.
“I didn’t come today to argue with you,” Xue Chenyan stood up, putting away his smile, “About today’s events, you’re not to tell anyone. Otherwise, just like how I made your mother leave your father, I have ways to make you leave Lin Xiaoman.”
★ Chapter Sixty-One: Cold
After falling into the water previously, Lin Xiaoman had started running a fever, but to keep up with the shooting schedule, she didn’t go to the hospital, just taking medication on time. By the eighteenth scene, the shooting location was an estate. The crew directly rented an estate in the suburbs of C City, with a well-green small forest behind it, and the scenery was quite nice. Xiaoman went over, with Xiaobai and Xie Chi following.
Upon arrival, while Xie Chi went to park, Xiaobai pulled Xiaoman aside: “Don’t you think Xie Chi has been acting strange lately?”
“You mean he’s been staying in his room, not talking much, always in a daze?” Lin Xiaoman had indeed noticed, “He’s been like this since the day of the advertisement shoot.”
“Did I say something too harsh?” Xiaobai reflected.
“I think he might have encountered something.”
“How much trouble can a shut-in have? Did his animation get delayed, or did he fail to grab a figurine?” Xiaobai thought this might be Xie Chi’s biggest worry.
“Keep an eye on him recently, and tell me directly if anything happens—cough cough cough…”
“Hey,” Xiaobai felt helpless, “Everyone around me is giving me a headache. When will your cold get better?”
“Don’t worry, cough cough,” Xiaoman paused, catching her breath, “It’ll be better in a few days.”
